La Misma Canción
No full textLa Misma Canción is a personal reflection that was inspired by the environment that we all live in. The author, Hector, is only a student in middle school. Already so much hate, crime, and racism occurs and is still very much relevant. Why is this occurring in the year 2018? Everyone needs to vent and put his or her thoughts on paper to see more clearly. These are the thoughts and short wisdom of Hector that have developed over his 13 years of life
Acontecimiento y desplazamiento de la memoria. La vida de una víctima convertida en relato
No full textAlong the development of this article, two literary pieces are going to be analized: El olvido que seremos and Traiciones de la memoria, both written by Colombian author Hector Abad Faciolince who is also known due to the fact he is one of the victims of the country's armed conflict. Literary pieces are analized under the narrative proposal frame suggested by Paul Ricoeur. Taking into account this victim's life narration, a pivotal question is stated: what kind of consequences bring to publish written life testimonies? Facing this questioning, the following hypothesis is proposed: if a victim produces a written testimony, then he/she brings together his/her life-changing events and displaces his/her memory.En este artículo se interpretan dos obras literarias: El olvido que seremos y Traiciones de la memoria, ambas escritas por Héctor Abad Faciolince, autor colombiano que también es conocido por ser una víctima del conflicto armado vivido en el país. Las obras son leídas a la luz de la propuesta narrativa de Paul Ricoeur. Ante la narración de su vida por parte de esta víctima se formula la pregunta ¿qué consecuencias tiene testimoniar de manera escrita? Cuestión ante la que se propone la siguiente hipótesis: si la víctima testimonia por escrito, entonces articula los acontecimientos de su vida y desplaza su memoria
La metaficción en Twitter: Los mil trinos y un trino de Héctor Abad
No full textThe purpose of this article is to analyze the metafictional aspects of Colombian author Hector Abad’s project to write a novel on twitter: One Thousand and One Tweets (2010a). The study of the metafiction consisted on identifying and explaining the literary tropes that made it possible for the author to generate a self-referential type of fiction. The elements examined included intertextuality, author and narrator categories, metalepsis and the construction processes of a novel explained by the narrative project itself. The results of the analysis were that the use of metafiction was not only limited to the different diegetic planes, but in terms of co-references, it also alluded to the external world: the users who interact with their accounts, the digital platform and, in general, the virtual environment that became part of this mode of writing.
El proposito de este artículo es analizar los aspectos metaficcionales del proyecto novelístico en Twitter, Los mil y un trinos (2010a), del escritor colombiano Héctor Abad. El estudio de la metaficción consistió en identificar y explicar los recursos literarios que permitieron al autor generar una ficción de tipo autorreferencial. Los elementos que se examinaron fueron la intertextualidad, las categorías autor y narrador, la metalepsis y los procesos de construcción de una novela explicados por el propio proyecto narrativo. Los resultados del análisis fueron que el empleo de la metaficción no sólo se limita a los distintos planos diegéticos, sino que en términos de co- referencias, alude también al mundo externo: los usuarios que interactúan con sus cuentas, la plataforma digital, y en general, el entorno virtual que pasan a formar parte de este tipo de escritura
Membrane spanning protein E-MAP.
No full text(A) number of predicted TMDs in the proteins of the E-MAP gene set. (B) using manually curated annotations of YeastMine (http://yeastmine.yeastgenome.org/) most genes of the E-MAP set were attributed to one of 4 different subcellular locations (S1 Table). A few genes are described as being in two or three locations. PM = plasma membrane. (C) overlap of gene combinations tested in our MSP-E-MAP, the E-MAPs form the Krogan lab (http://interactome-cmp.ucsf.edu/) and systematic genetic array (SGA) studies of the Boone lab (http://drygin.ccbr.utoronto.ca/). (D, E) comparison of unaveraged genetic interaction scores (S scores) obtained in reciprocal crosses of [query A x array B] and [query B x array A] for all double mutants in the MSP-E-MAP (D) and MSP/C-E-MAP (E) after removal of noisy strains (see materials and methods). Correlation coefficients of significant S scores are indicated in blue. (F, G) a subset of 84 randomly chosen queries were crossed anew with the 629 genes of the array selecting without (F) or with Cerulenin (G). The experiment (= replicate 2) was done by authors Christine Vionnet and Carole Roubaty and the S scores plotted against those obtained in the first E-MAP experiment done by author Hector Vazquez (= replicate 1). Trend-lines and the corresponding Pearson correlation values of all dots (black) or only those having a statistically significant S score (blue). The dotted lines represent the theoretical correlation of R = 1. H, comparison of the S scores of double mutants of our MSP-E-MAP with the corresponding S scores obtained by [28] in their ESP-E-MAP.</p
The Publishing Scene in <i>A Far Cry from Kensington</i>
No full textA Far Cry from Kensington (1988) is a novel about the process of writing itself and how books are produced. It offers a backstage view of the London publishing ‘scene’ of the early 1950s, depicting it as a semi-criminal, cut-throat business. This ‘scene’ is also a crime scene, a scene of corruption and abuse in which the perpetrators are often male and the victims are often female: exploited as helpers and menials, or harvested by the author as raw material for his work. This chapter is divided into three sections. Section 1 draws on Pierre Bourdieu’s study of the literary field in The Rules of Art as an institution run by publishers, editors and critics with the power to canonise or excommunicate. Spark’s first-person narrator, Mrs Nancy Hawkins, refuses to keep her mouth shut and is removed from her post. Section 2 considers the novel as a masterclass in creative writing, since the narrator, an experienced copy-editor, offers valuable advice to aspiring authors for free. Here, the novel reflects on the business of writing itself, and on what distinguishes good writing from bad. Section 3 examines literary exploitation in its most vicious form, focusing on the abusive relationship between the author, Hector Bartlett, and his subject, Wanda Podolak. Having seduced Wanda, Bartlett terrorizes her with anonymous letters. He sacrifices her in the interests of his own literary career, and then, having destroyed her, he writes her up as a case study. In this way, the novel presents a disturbing and haunting picture of the literary business
