Historias con-tacto: una aproximación erotohistoriográfica al archivo= Stories with contact: an erotohistoriographic approach to the archive
No full textResumenEste artículo parte de mi experiencia como voluntaria en la catalogación de los fondos de Gretel Ammann, activista lesbofeminista catalana, donados al Centro de Documentación de Ca la Dona. Enmarcada dentro del campo de las temporalidades queer y las historiografías afectivas, analizo la importancia de la mano como herramienta erotohistoriográfica lésbica y como forma de sensibilidad y comprensión de los materiales de este archivo que nos permite acercarnos a las generaciones e historias previas a nosotras. El deseo, el terror o el amor son afectos que acontecen en el contacto con el material archivístico y que muestran cómo el presente siempre es híbrido.AbstractThis article is based on my experience as a volunteer in the cataloguing of the collections of Gretel Ammann, Catalan lesbofeminist activist, donated to the Documentation Center of Ca la Dona. Framed within the field of queer temporalities and affective historiographies, I analyze the importance of the hand as a lesbian erotohistoriographic tool and as a form of sensitivity and understanding of the materials of this archive that allows us to approach the generations and histories before us. Desire, terror or love are affections that occur in contact with the archival material and show how the present is always hybrid
Weakly stratified laminar flow past normal flat plates
No full textNumerical computations of the steady, two-dimensional, incompressible, uniform velocity but stably stratified flow past a normal flat plate (of unit half-width) in a channel are presented. Attention is restricted to cases in which the stratification is weak enough to avoid occurrence of the gravity wave motions familiar in more strongly stratified flows over obstacles. The nature of the flow is explored for channel half-widths, H, in the range 5 [less-than-or-eq, slant] H [less-than-or-eq, slant] 100, for Reynolds numbers, Re, (based on body half-width and the upstream velocity, U) up to 600 and for stratification levels between zero (i.e. neutral flow) and the limit set by the first appearance of waves. The fourth parameter governing the flow is the Schmidt number, Sc, the ratio of the molecular diffusion of the agent providing the stratification to the molecular viscosity. For cases of very large (in the limit, infinite) Sc a novel technique is used, which avoids solving the density equation explicitly. Results are compared with the implications of the asymptotic theory of Chernyshenko & Castro (1996) and with earlier computations of neutral flows over both flat plates and circular cylinders. The qualitative behaviour in the various flow regimes identified by the theory is demonstrated, but it is also shown that in some cases a flow zone additional to those identified by the theory appears and that, in any case, precise agreement would, for most regimes, require very much higher Re and/or H. Some examples of multiple (i.e. non-unique) solutions are shown and we discuss the likelihood of these being genuine, rather than an artefact of the numerical scheme.<br/
The “End” of the Tierra Caliente
No full textThis article outlines an analysis of the imaginary of tropical American nature as built from the colonial gaze, as a starting point for understanding the control and appropriation of nature. This has legitimised, since the dawn of Modernity and up to present-day Latin America (and specifically Colombia and its territories), a discourse based on dispossession and racial violence, in the interests of the further growth of the global capitalist system.
El ‘fin’ de la Tierra Caliente
No full textEl presente artículo se propone en trazar un análisis del imaginario de la naturaleza americana tropical construida desde la mirada colonial, como punto de partida para comprender el control y apropiación de la naturaleza; que desde la Modernidad ha legitimado hasta el día de hoy en Latinoamérica y en el caso específico de Colombia y sus territorios, un discurso basado en el despojo y la violencia racial para llevar a cabo el desarrollo del sistema mundial capitalista.
A representación de Rosalía de Castro no ámbito anglófono : feminismo en tradución
No full textA crítica feminista galega ten desvelado nas últimas décadas como a canonización de Rosalía de Castro no sistema literario galego transmitiu polo xeral unha imaxe da autora acorde ao ideario rexionalista, acalando o seu discurso fondamente transgresor desde o punto de vista do xénero. Ao mesmo tempo, esta crítica vén ofrecendo novas lecturas da produción literaria da autora en clave feminista. Desvela así a existencia dunha Rosalía de Castro poliédrica que conxuga a súa conciencia nacional cunha perspicaz conciencia de xénero para identificar a discriminación que sufrían as mulleres da súa contorna, o que sen dúbida converte á autora galega en toda unha pioneira do feminismo literario occidental. A partir da (re)lectura feminista destes traballos, o obxectivo deste artigo é ofrecer unha achega á proxección exterior do discurso feminista rosaliano a través da tradución ao inglés dalgunhas das súas obras máis combativas no plano do xénero. Para iso, en primeiro lugar ofrecerei unha contextualización de Rosalía de Castro nas rutas do tráfico literario da tradución de autoras galegas a outros idiomas, e mais especificamente á lingua inglesa. Posteriormente, pondo énfase na tradución das tres obras de prosa rosaliana onde a compoñente feminista é máis explícita -Lieders (1858), La hija del mar (1859) e Las literatas. Carta a Eduarda (1866)-, encetarei unha análise comparativa entre as primeiras traducións a inglés de Daughter of the Sea (1995), Lieders (1996) e Bluestockings (1997) realizadas por Kathleen March na década dos 90 do século XX; a tradución posterior Women Writers dispoñíbel na escolma Selected Poems (2007) de Michael Smith; e finalmente as traducións Child from the Sea, Songs e Literary Women recollidas na escolma The Poetry and Prose of Rosalía de Castro (2010), en edición e tradución de John P. Dever e Aileen Dever. A análise centrarase na compoñente metatextual, e mais concretamente nos metatextos producidos polas tradutoras e tradutores, para esculcar así como lle presentan o feminismo rosaliano á audiencia meta

CASE STUDY: ZULUETA´S RAPTURE. Writtings from inside and outside the Academics on trial
No full textThe present text is divided into two parts: a presentation and a paper. First, in italics, I present what could be called “Case Study: Zulueta’s Rapture” and propose some reflections on its meaning within the framework of current university practices surrounding knowledge. Next to take the stand is the paper itself, the object of the trial, whose author proposes a political reading of the film Rapture (Arrebato in the original Spanish) by Iván Zulueta. Lastly, some conclusions are offered. I will say no more; the text has a complex structure and is best judged by reading it
The Time of Montage. A lecture in the form of a dialogue
No full textIn this lecture-conversation, Isabel de Naverán and Leire Vergara offer an array of readings, life experiences and descriptions of films in order to address the concept of montage as applied to contemporary choreography and curatorial work.Taking the description of several scenes as a point of departure, the authors propose an understanding of montage (both in exhibits and in choreography) based on a specific temporality in which peripheral elements and everyday life lend intention and meaning to the work. In this partially scripted conversation the authors exchange their perspectives on the white cube and the black box, and question some of the dynamics of those two mechanisms.The Time of Montage has been staged on three occasions. The first was in the Teatro Pradillo in Madrid, in the context of Laboratorio 987 (2013) organized by Chus Domínguez, Nilo Gallego and Silvia Zayas and the cycle of exhibits Form and Vouloir-dire curated by Leire Vergara in 2012 at the MUSAC (Museum of Contemporary Art of Castille and Leon), the second was in the Laboratorio 987 at MUSAC within the same initiative, and the third time in Sukaldea-Tabakalera in San Sebastián (2014) as part of the program Paracinema curated by Esperanza Collado. Each staging involved some changes to the text, the props and the dialogue conducted afterwards.RE-VISIONES presents a new version of the lecture, including the transcription and translation into English of the first two points proposed by each author, and a video recording of the lecture as staged at the Teatro Pradillo
Putting the World to Work
No full textThis text is a translation of the recently published book’s Introduction by Cara New Daggett, The Birth of Energy: Fossil Fuels, Thermodynamics, and the Politics of Work (Durham, Duke University Press, 2019), where this author records how 19th-century cultural imaginaries (particularly those gestated in the British Isles) were deeply convulsed by the articulation of two specific phenomena: on one hand, the creation of a new fossil fuel-based industrial production regime (in particular the massive use of coal) and the increase in employee productivity (subject to the logic of relative capital plusvalia, i.e. the work intensification for each unit of time); on the other hand, the emergence of a new concept of energy around thermodynamic science , which legitimized productive imaginaries and fossil imperialism through the theological perception of nature as an infinite source of resources at the service of human material progress (Western).Original publication: "Introduction: Putting the World to Work," in The Birth of Energy, Cara Daggett, pp. 1-14.
