All'ombra dei buchi neri. Roberto Bolaño e la verità in letteratura
No full textThis article explores the literary and philosophical dimensions of Roberto Bolaño’s work, with a particular focus on 2666, his monumental posthumous novel. Bolaño’s narrative is here analyzed as a unique interplay between rigorous formal precision and the inherent fragmentation of language, offering a profound meditation on the nature of truth, evil, and human existence. The metaphor of black holes is here employed by the author to conceptualize Bolaño’s depiction of inaccessible truths, shedding light on the dark recesses of experience through fragmented glimpses. By juxtaposing literary analysis with philosophical inquiry, the article examines how Bolaño dismantles traditional paradigms of detective fiction and academic narration, replacing them with a poetics of uncertainty and marginality. Ultimately, Bolaño’s oeuvre is presented as an existential investigation that resists closure, transforming literature into a space where the search for meaning is both an end itself and an act of resistance against definitive explanations
Childhood in the works of Silvina Ocampo and Alejandra Pizarnik
Get PDFThis thesis
explores childhood as
theme
and perspective
in
the Argentine
cuentista and
poet
Silvina Ocampo (1903-1993)
and traces this thematic
and vital
link to the
Argentine
poet
Alejandra Pizamik (1936-1972). The
study
looks
at childhood not only
in
relation to their literary texts but
also
in the
writers' construction of self-identity
within
their
socio-literary context, and at
the
role played
by
visual art
in their
aesthetic.
Chapter 1
contrasts Silvina
with
her
elder sister
Victoria Ocampo through their
differing literary
appropriation of a shared childhood. It distinguishes Ocampo from
Adolfo Bioy Casares and
Jorge Luis Borges in terms of
her fictional logic
and
her
treatment of games, drawing comparisons instead with Julio Cortdzar.
Chapter 2
undertakes close reading of various Ocampo texts, including
some
for
children,
in
order to explore
her
vision of childhood through nostalgia, adult-child
power relationships, aging and rejuvenation, and moments of
initiation or
imitation.
Chapter 3
turns to Pizarnik
and the myth of the child-poet.
It
analyses
her
child
personae through Andre Breton's Surrealism, Jean Cocteau
and
Octavio Paz, through
her borrowings from Alice in Wonderland
and
Nadja,
and
through
her
obsession with
madness, death,
orphanhood, violation and transgression.
Chapter 4 is
comparative.
It
outlines the context
in
which
Ocampo
and
Pizamik's
passionate friendship developed,
and considers
Pizamik's
essay on
Elpecado
mortal.
It
then explores their broad
mutual
literary
and
thematic
affinities.
My
conclusion is that Ocampo's works achieve equilibrium between childhood and age,
whereas Pizarnik's
much-discussed poetic crisis of exile
from language itself
parallels
her deep sense of anxiety at being
exiled from the world of childhood.
This thesis
contributes to the
study of
Argentine literature by drawing
revealing
comparisons
between
two key
writers
through their shared obsession with childhood,
arguing that
an understanding of their attitudes
to childhood
is fundamental
to
appreciating
fully their
work.
I
refer to unpublished
letters
of
Ocampo,
material
from
private
interviews,
photographs and relevant paintings

Monitoring monkeypox virus in saliva and air samples in Spain: a cross-sectional study
Get PDFBACKGROUND: The transmission of monkeypox virus occurs through direct contact, but transmission through saliva or exhaled droplets and aerosols has not yet been investigated. We aimed to assess the presence of monkeypox virus DNA and infectious virus in saliva samples and droplets and aerosols exhaled from patients infected with monkeypox virus. METHODS: We did a cross-sectional study in patients with monkeypox confirmed by PCR who attended two health centres in Madrid, Spain. For each patient, we collected samples of saliva, exhaled droplets within a mask, and aerosols captured by air filtration through newly developed nanofiber filters. We evaluated the presence of monkeypox virus in the samples by viral DNA detection by quantitative PCR (qPCR) and isolation of infectious viruses in cell cultures. FINDINGS: Between May 18 and July 15, 2022, 44 patients with symptomatic monkeypox attended two health centres in Madrid and were included in the study. All were cisgender men, with a median age of 35·0 years (IQR 11·3). We identified high loads of monkeypox virus DNA by qPCR in 35 (85%) of 41 saliva samples. Infectious monkeypox virus was recovered from 22 (67%) of 33 saliva samples positive for monkeypox virus DNA. We also found a significant association between the number of affected cutaneous areas or general symptoms and the viral load present in saliva samples. Droplets exhaled from patients with monkeypox, detected inside a mask, contained monkeypox virus DNA in 32 (71%) of 45 samples, with two of the 32 positive samples showing the presence of the infectious virus. Monkeypox virus DNA in aerosols, collected from the medical consultation room, were detected in 27 (64%) of 42 samples, despite patients wearing an FFP2 mask during the visit. Infectious virus was not recovered from aerosol samples. High levels of monkeypox virus DNA were identified in aerosols collected from a hospital isolation room housing a patient with monkeypox. INTERPRETATION: The identification of high viable monkeypox virus loads in saliva in most patients with monkeypox and the finding of monkeypox virus DNA in droplets and aerosols warrants further epidemiological studies to evaluate the potential relevance of the respiratory route of infection in the 2022 monkeypox virus outbreak.

Measurement of cross-sections for production of a boson in association with a flavor-inclusive or doubly -tagged large-radius jet in proton-proton collisions at TeV with the ATLAS experiment
Get PDFWe present measurements of cross-sections for production of a leptonically
decaying boson in association with a large-radius jet in 13 TeV
proton-proton collisions at the LHC, using of data from
the ATLAS detector. Integrated and differential cross-sections are measured at
particle-level in both a flavor-inclusive and a doubly -tagged fiducial
phase-space. The large-radius jet mass and transverse momentum, its kinematic
relationship to the boson, and the angular separation of -tagged
small-radius track-jets within the large-radius jet are measured. This
measurement constitutes an important test of perturbative quantum
chromodynamics in kinematic and flavor configurations relevant to several Higgs
boson and beyond-Standard-Model physics analyses. The results highlight issues
with modeling of additional hadronic activity in the flavor-inclusive
selection, and a distinction between flavor-number schemes in the -tagged
phase-space.Comment: 44 pages in total, author list starting page 27, 5 figures, 2 tables,
