DIAGNOSIS : Same as generic diagnosis. DESCRIPTION : Coloration, surface, vestiture, structure, and genitalia: As in generic description. MEASUREMENTS : MALE (holotype /range; N=4): total body length 2.46/2.55-2.70, clypeus to cuneus length 1.75/1.70-1.90, body width 1.06/1.10-1.30, pronotal length 0.43/0.45, head width 0.81/ 0.75-0.83, pronotal width 0.98/0.85-1.00, antennal segment lengths: AS I 0.35/0.40, AS II 0.60/0.60-0.65, AS III 0.35/0.35-0.37, AS IV 0.36/ 0.35, and interocular distance 0.47/0.45-0.47. FEMALE (range; N=3): total body length 2.2–2.65, clypeus to cuneus length 1.6-1.9, pronotal length 0.45-0.47, head width 0.83-0.87, pronotal width 0.93-0.97, antennal segment lengths: AS I 0.40-0.43, AS II 0.6-0.63, AS III 0.35-0.37, AS IV 0.35, and interocular distance 0.45-0.5. ETYMOLOGY : Named after the late Leonard A. Kelton, whose work in Durango, Mexico, led to the capture of these specimens. HOST : The majority of the specimens collected of this species were labeled as collected on sotol, genus Dasylirion sp. (Asparagales: Asparagaceae: Notinoideae). There are currently about 22 species of sotol, of which two are known from Durango: D. durangense Trel., and D. simplex Trel. (WSCP 2018). This group of plants is native to Mexico, all have tough leaves with serrated edges that provide a natural defense.Published as part of Menard, K. L. & Schwartz, M.

PIERRE MENARD, AUTOR DEL QUIJOTE: BIOGRAFÍA DE UN LECTOR
No full textEn este relato, Borges declara, mucho antes de que lo hiciera Barthes, la muerte del autor. El autor ha muerto y el lector viene a ocupar su lugar. Ello es posible gracias a la "lectura irreverente" del Quijote practicada por Borges, lectura fundada en el "robo" y la "traición". Menard, al efectuar una "citación total" del texto de Cervantes, lo "roba" letra por letra, traicionando, asimismo, las nociones de autor y original. Lo que hace Menard es "escribir su lectura" del Quijote, que aunque resulta ser una copia a la letra, es radicalmente distinta en el significado de ella, porque se lee siempre desde una tradición cultural, que muchas veces se construye. Resulta, así, que hay tantos Quijotes como lectores del Quijote. Como suplementos se exploran las ideas de Pierre Menard como precursor de Cervantes y la convicción de la superioridad del lector sobre el autor. "La carrera literaria más difícil es la del lector", escribe Macedonio Fernández, fuente secreta de todo lo aquí afirmadoIn this story, Borges, long before Barthes, proclaims the death of the author, The author is dead and the reader takes his place, This is possible through an "irreverent reading" of Don Quijote as practised by Borges, a reading based on "theft" and "betrayal" Menard, when effecting a "total citation" of Cervantes’ text, steals word by word, betraying likewise the notion of author and original. What Menard does is "to write his own reading of the Quijote, which, although becoming a literal copy, is radically distinct in meaning, because it is always read from a cultural tradition that is often constructed. The result is that there are as many Quijotes as readers of it. As supplements, the ideas of Pierre Menard as Cervantes’ predecessor are explored, and the superiority of the reader over the author. "The most difficult literary career is trhat of the reader", writes Macedonio Fernandez, secret source of all that is affirmed her
The Measurement of Intellectual Influence: the Views of a Sceptic
No full textIn an extremely interesting paper, Palacios-Huerta and Volij (2004) [PV] introduce the axiomatic method to the problem of how to rank academic journals on the basis of their mutual citations. They characterize the invariant method as the only one satisfying a list of five appealing properties. In this note, I show an impossibility result, by identifying a sixth property that is violated by the invariant method. Further, I question the appeal of the PV axioms, when applied over larger domains of problems that take into account making distinctions among types of citations.
Otro Cervantes en Borges: los capítulos invisibles de Pierre Menard
No full textIn more than ninety of his works, Borges refers to Cervantes directly, and, in numerous others, he implicitly alludes to the father of the modern novel. Focusing on “Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote”, this essay analyzes, on the one hand, the games of self-representation hidden in Pierre Menard's visible works, and, on the other hand, Menard's (and therefore, Borges's) decision to attempt to reproduce chapters IX, XXII, and XXXVIII of the first part of Don Quixote. It is argued that these chapters possess particular significance, not only for Cervantes's novel but also for Borges's own literary project as well as for that of his fictional author. Lastly, three of Borges' most Cervantine short stories, “Death and the Compass”, “The South”, and “The Congress”, are briefly discussed.En más de noventa obras suyas, Borges se refiere de forma explícita a Cervantes, y en otras tantas hace alusión de manera implícita al padre de la novela moderna. Centrándose en “Pierre Menard, autor del Quijote”, este ensayo analiza por un lado los juegos de auto-representación ocultos en la obra visible de Pierre Menard, y, por el otro, la decisión de Menard (y por ende, de Borges) de intentar reproducir los capítulos IX, XXII y XXXVIII de la primera parte del Quijote. Según se argumenta, éstos poseen un significado especial, no sólo para la obra de Cervantes, sino también para el proyecto literario de Borges, así como para el de su autor ficcional. Por último, se comentan brevemente tres de los relatos más cervantinos de Borges: “La muerte y la brújula”, “El sur” y “El congreso”
Borges, Pierre Menard, rhizomaticity, and the simulation of palimpsestic writing
No full textAbstractPierre Menard, Author of Don Quixote shares with Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius several central aspects in the construction of the text, fundamentally the doubling of writing: that of Borges and Pierre Menard, where both simulate to tell story that it never gets told; and the creation of a world that is generated from pure discursivity.The text is divided in two sections, as indicated by Borges himself: one is the visible work of Pierre Menard, and the other is inconclusive work (1962 [1956]: 48–55). The first part is a catalogue of Menard’s library and the second letters by Menard addressed to Borges. In what follows we will analyze the gesture of inscribing writing.</jats:p
Pierre Menard, author of Don Quixote: a reflection on the practice of the textual comment
No full textPractice of textual comments has been mainly developed within the theoreticalsphere. Jorge Luis Borges, in its short story Pierre Menard, author of Quijote,reflects on the sense of the text from the perspective of the reader. In this pieceof work, Borges answers the question about the ideal reader. Pierre Menardpersonifies such reader, who, at first, to strictly comply with his role as acompetent reader, tries to become assimilated with the text; and later discoversthat the best way to accomplish his purpose is to grab hold of it, that is, reachthe text from his own experiences. This is the ideal reader of all times, he who acknowledges the work, the author, and its circumstances, and, this informationworks as his baggage to take hold of his own experience, to withdraw thesense of the text.La práctica del comentario textual se ha desarrollado principalmente en el ámbito teórico. Jorge Luis Borges, en su cuento Pierre Menard, autor del Quijote, realiza una reflexión sobre el sentido del texto desde la perspectiva del lector. En esta obra, Borges responde a la interrogante respecto del lector ideal. Pierre Menard encarna al lector que, en un primer momento, para cumplir
a cabalidad su rol de lector competente, intenta asimilarse al texto; y, luego, descubre que la mejor manera de lograr su propósito es apropiarse de él, es decir, llegar al texto a partir de las propias experiencias. Este es el lector ideal de cualquier época, aquel que conoce la obra, al autor y sus circunstancias, y esta información le sirve de bagaje para tomar de la propia vivencia, para
extraer el sentido del texto
