BIOGRAPHICAL / Historical Note: Twentieth-century novelist Caroline Gordon was born into the Kentucky line of the extensive Meriwether family in 1895. Exploration of the family's past and its evolution is a major theme of her fiction. She grew up at Merry Mont in Todd County, near Clarksville where she received her early education. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Bethany College in 1916. Her father is the idealized subject of Gordon's second novel, Alec Maury, Sportsman (1934), and the central character in her much-anthologized story, "Old Red." Gordon taught briefly; then, as a journalist, she became one of the first reviewers to comment favorably on a new Nashville-based magazine of poetry, The Fugitive. During the summer of 1924, Robert Penn Warren, a Todd County neighbor, introduced her to Allen Tate. Within a year they were married and living in New York City, where their daughter, Nancy Meriwether was born. With Tate, she began a period of life abroad, devoted to writing and sustained by various fellowships granted to one or the other. In London, Gordon was secretary to the influential British writer Ford Madox. In 1930 the Tates returned to the United States and settled in Clarksville in a house provided by Tate's brother Ben and called "Benfolly." Both Tates were exceptionally hospitable to friends and encouraging to younger writers. Both were prolific correspondents, generous with constructive criticism. (Gordon eventually became mentor to several writers, most notably Flannery O'Connor). Although she had to wrest time for her writing from domestic and social obligations, the eight Benfolly years were especially productive for Gordon, who published four novels and several stories before 1937. The first novel was Penhally (1931), followed by Alec Maury, Sportsman (1934), None Shall Look Back (1937), and The Garden of Adonis (1937), studies of the southern family during the Civil War and Great Depression. Academic appointments of the 1940s took the Tates throughout the Southeast and to Princeton, where they established a home near their daughter, who married psychiatrist Percy Wood in 1944. During this time Gordon published her fifth novel, Green Centuries (1941). Her second related group of novels, The Woman on the Porch (1944), which deals with a troubled marriage, The Strange Children (1951), based on life at Benfolly, and The Malefactors (1956), is informed by her conversion to Roman Catholicism. She and her husband wrote The House of Fiction (1950), which was followed by Gordon's How to Read a Novel in 1957. Gordon lived in Princeton until 1973, teaching, and writing: The Glory of Hera (1972). An appointment in the creative writing program drew her to the University of Dallas (Gordon was 77 years old when she proposed the new creative writing program at UD). When her health began to fail in 1978, she moved to San Cristobal de las Casas in Chapas, Mexico, with her daughter and family. She died there on April 11, 1981.

Nouvelle conjoncture politique en Bolivie. Faux pas électoral ou fin de cycle ?
No full textLa défaite électorale, le 21 février dernier, du projet de réforme constitutionnelle a transformé l’échiquier politique bolivien. Evo Morales, qui a exercé comme président-symbole d’une Bolivie nouvelle pendant dix ans, ne pourra pas se représenter en 2019 et son parti devra chercher un autre candidat, situation inédite. La défaite, concédée avec une marge très faible, plonge ses racines dans l’émoussement «intellectuel et moral» du processus de changement bolivien, dû en partie au passage du temps, mais aussi à la façon d’exercer le pouvoir qui a provoqué un certain rejet, en particulier chez les électeurs des grandes villes.Stefanoni Pablo, Cunill Caroline.

El pensamiento político maya en el Yucatán del siglo XVI: reflexiones sobre 'can' y 'than', “la plática”, “la palabra”
No full textInternational audiencecunill / pensamiento político maya en el yucatán del siglo xvi 117 estudios de cultura maya lii: 117-137 (2018) El pensamiento político maya en el Yucatán del siglo xvi: reflexiones sobre can y than, "la plática", "la palabra" The Maya Political Thought in Sixteenth Century Yucatan: Some Reflections on Can and Than, "Conversation", "Language" Caroline Cunill Université du Maine, Francia Resumen: Si bien en los últimos años la historiografía ha adelantado mucho en el análisis de la estructura política maya vigente en el Yucatán del siglo xvi-princi-pales cargos de gobierno, continuidad de los linajes gobernantes y organización de las entidades administrativas-, todavía se puede ahondar en la comprensión del pensamiento político maya característico de aquel periodo de transición entre los sistemas prehispánico y colonial. A partir del cotejo de distintos textos escritos por autoridades autóctonas en su propia lengua y de las definiciones de varias voces mayas yucatecas contenidas en uno de los primeros vocabularios coloniales, el Ca-lepino de Motul, el presente trabajo identifica can y than, "la plática", "la palabra", como nociones claves en el pensamiento político maya. Se demuestra que, a prin-cipios del periodo colonial, la idea de "palabra concertada" fue central en la visión maya del buen gobierno. PalabRas clave: Pensamiento político, concertación, teoría de la traducción, mayas, Yucatán colonial. abstRact: Although in recent years significant advances have been made in the analysis of the political structure of the sixteenth century Yucatan-main offices, continuity of the governing lineages, and organization of the administrative entities-it is still possible to go further in the understanding of the Maya political thought during this period of transition between pre-Hispanic and Colonial systems. Based on the linguistic and historical analysis of early colonial texts written in Yucatecan Maya by indigenous authorities, as well as on the definitions contained in one of the first Maya-Spanish vocabularies, this article identifies can and than, "conversa-tion" and "language", as key notions in Maya political thought. We argue that, at the beginning of the Colonial era, the idea of "concerted discourse" was central in Maya conception of adequate governance
