Los barrios de Elvira Lindo
No full textThe current theory of literature seeks to overcome the conception of space as a Material context of the story and addresses, from different angles and with varying results, the problem of space as a crucial aspect of mimesis. Critics have already shown that the use of certain spaces grants them a symbolic value. This happens with the districts o Madrid which are a constant in the narrative works of Elvira Lindo and stand also a symptom of contemporary social reality. In the novels of Lindo, globalization and other phenomena have notably modified the urban mosaic: the juxtaposition of races, ethnicities, cultures and values, the transformation of the city model into a polycentric scheme, the huge masses of immigrants who settle in well circumscribed areas, forging a peculiar form of Chinatown…. Madrid is no longer a city with a central core of leisure and commerce, but a constellation of distinctive neighborhoods that become the habitat of the urbanite. Lindo seeks to capture the «differential spaces» of the urban, she is always aware that space is not a vacuum filled or not, and that the degree of centrality is relevant. Her novels are, among other deals interpretation of reality, a postmodern tribute and a chronicle of the neighborhoods of Madrid, especially in suburban neighborhoods. Do not understand why this is reduced to a narrative of traditional photography, the author speaks of interior tears, overcome, and personal growth, relationship between inside and outside of the people..., which overwhelms clearly the painting of manners.La actual teoría de la literatura procura superar la concepción del espacio como ámbito exclusivamente topográfico de la historia y aborda, desde diversos ángulos y con resultados dispares, el problema del espacio como aspecto crucial de la mímesis. La crítica ha mostrado ya que la tematización de ciertos espacios y su consiguiente valor simbólico se relacionan con las coordenadas socio-económicas e históricas en que se consolidan ciertas formas de vida y pensamiento, así como ciertos criterios estéticos. De ahí que algunos espacios bien diferenciados se conviertan en tópicos durante determinados periodos artísticos, y adquieran un valor simbólico concreto a través de la mirada de un autor particular. Tal ocurre con el barrio madrileño, que constituye una constante en la obra narrativa de Elvira Lindo y se erige además en síntoma de la realidad social contemporánea. En las novelas de Lindo, el hombre y su paisaje se acompañan en el seno del barrio dibujando el mundo peculiar del Madrid posmoderno, en que la globalización y otros fenómenos modifican notoriamente el mosaico urbano: la yuxtaposición de razas, etnias, culturas y valores; la consideración de un centro histórico mítico y vacío, frente a los centros comerciales periféricos que cubren el ocio de la población; las enormes masas de inmigrantes que se instalan en zonas bien circunscritas, forjando así una peculiar forma de chinatown, como Lavapiés... Madrid ya no es una ciudad con una almendra central de ocio y comercio, sino una constelación de barrios peculiares en los que arraiga el apego del urbanita. Lindo procura captar los «espacios diferenciales» de lo urbano; siempre consciente de que el espacio no es un vacío colmado o no de materiales, y de que el grado de centralidad es relevante. Su novelística es, entre otras muchas ofertas interpretativas de la realidad, un homenaje y una crónica posmoderna de los barrios de Madrid, especialmente de los barrios del extrarradio. No se entienda por ello que se trata de un conjunto narrativo reducido a la fotografía costumbrista; Lindo habla de desgarros interiores, de superación y crecimiento personal, de relación entre el interior y el exterior de las personas..., lo que desborda a todas luces la pintura de costumbres

Gender and the politics of the gaze in Bronte's Wuthering Heights
Get PDFDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Letras/Inglês e Literatura Correspondente, Florianópolis, 2009.O objetivo deste estudo é apresentar uma análise de como a imagem de Catherine é moldada pelo olhar masculino, como ela enfrenta os três tipos de olhar - o olhar dos personagens, o olhar do leitor, e o olhar do autor - e finalmente, se o olhar masculino é interrompido. O parâmetro teórico desta análise, o conceito do olhar masculino, é teorizado por Laura Mulvey no artigo "Prazer Visual e Cinema Narrativo" (1975) o qual critica a relação entre o olhar masculino e a imagem feminina do prazer visual moldado pela sociedade patriarcal. Através da crítica de Mulvey do prazer visual generizado em filmes, que pertence ao contexto do cinema clássico de Hollywood, articulo sua teoria em relação ao romance Wuthering Heights de Emily Brontë para examinar a dinâmica do olhar masculino em relação à personagem feminina Catherine. Este estudo teve também por objetivo analisar o quanto o paradigma teórico de Mulvey produzido para cinema poderia ser aplicado especificamente em um texto literário escrito no século XIX.The objective of this thesis is to present an analysis of whether Catherine's image has been shaped by the male gaze, how she contends with the three looks of the male gaze - the look of the characters, the look of the reader, and the look of the author - and finally, how the male gaze is broken. The theoretical parameter of this analysis, the concept of the male gaze, is theorized by Laura Mulvey in the article "Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema" (1975) which critiques the relation between the male gaze and the female image within the patriarchal molding of visual pleasure. Borrowing Mulvey's critique of the gendering of visual pleasure in films, which pertains to the context of classical Hollywood cinema, I have articulated her theory in relation to Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights, to examine the dynamics of the male gaze regarding the female character, Catherine. This study also aimed at examing the extent to which Mulvey's theoretical paradigm produced for cinema could be articulated specifically in relation to a literary text written in the nineteenth century
Documenting a Derided Profession: Algernon Lindo and The Art of Accompanying
Get PDFPianist Algernon Henry Lindo (1862-1927) was a respected performer, composer, author, and pedagogue in turn-of-the-century London. His groundbreaking work, The Art of Accompanying (1916), was the first book written about the discipline now referred to as Collaborative Piano. Although almost completely overlooked since his death, Lindo\u27s life and writings have much relevance in the twenty-first century. This study aims to make The Art of Accompanying accessible to the contemporary reader, providing a comprehensive critical edition of the work. In order to provide context for his treatise, this study presents, for the first time, a biography of Lindo. This study also offers a reading of the social and professional implications of the text, one that allows modern audiences to glimpse the ways in which accompanists were viewed and treated in the early years of the twentieth century. Finally, a comprehensive, annotated list of Lindo\u27s compositions and writings has been appended, providing further documentation of the life and work of this important, if unknown, musician
Matteo Bartoli and the ideas of Neolinguistics
No full textNeste trabalho, investigamos o pensamento de Matteo Giulio Bartoli. O autor é conhecido como autor da chamada linguística areal ou escola neolinguística (numa clara oposição à escola dos neogramáticos. Dentre as muitas obras de Bartoli, dá-se ênfase ao Breviario di Neolinguistica, em coautoria com Giulio Bertoni, em sua segunda parte, intitulada Criteri Tecnici. Bartoli foi leitor de Graziadio Ascoli, tendo dele utilizado ideias como a de “mistura de povos”, bem como da Geografia Linguística (sobretudo no método onomasiológico, na base da confecção das cartas léxicas) e da própria escola dos neogramáticos, sendo por muitos ainda considerado como um deles (IORDAN, 1982). A neolinguística tem cinco critérios de análise, denominados normas areais. Com elas, Bartoli tencionou analisar a mudança linguística por meio da distribuição dos dados de acordo com a sua época de colonização por parte do Império Romano. Para tanto, são imprescindíveis as contribuições da Filologia, para a compreensão e interpretação do pensamento de Bartoli em seu contexto histórico e percurso de construção de ideias. (AUROUX, 1992; LINDO, 2019). Bartoli baseia-se nos conceitos de norma da área isolada, norma da área lateral, norma da área maior, norma da área mais recente e norma da fase desaparecida. O autor utiliza-se de muitos quadros para estabelecer comparações entre formas do latim vulgar e do latim clássico, bem como a utilização da forma maiúscula para este da forma em itálico minúscula para aquele, nessa ordem. A primeira parte do trabalho trata das influências sobre o pensamento de Matteo Bartoli. A segunda parte, dos critérios técnicos elaborados pelo autor, expostos no Breviario di Neolinguistica. A terceira parte trata de reações e críticas ao pensamento de Matteo Giulio BartoliIn this work, we investigate the thought of Matteo Giulio Bartoli. The author is known as the creator of the so-called Areal Linguistics or Neolinguistic School (in clear opposition to the Neogrammarian school. Among Bartoli\'s many works, emphasis is placed on the Breviario di Neolinguistica, co-authored with Giulio Bertoni, in its second part, entitled Criteri Tecnici. Bartoli was a reader of Graziadio Ascoli, having used his ideas such as the \"mixture of peoples\", as well as Linguistic Geography (especially the onomasiological method, on the basis of the creation of lexical maps) and the Neogrammarian School itself, being still considered by many researchers as one of them (IORDAN, 1982). Neolinguistics has five analysis criteria, called areal norms. With them, Bartoli intended to analyze linguistic change through the distribution of data according to the time of colonization by the Roman Empire. For this purpose, the contributions of Philology are essential for the understanding and interpretation of Bartoli\'s thought in its historical context and itinerary of construction of ideas. (AUROUX, 1992; LINDO, 2019). Bartoli is based on the concepts of isolated area norm, lateral area norm, larger area norm, most recent area norm and disappeared phase norm. The author uses many charts to establish comparisons between forms of Vulgar Latin and Classical Latin, as well as the use of the form with capitalized letters for the latter and the lowercase italic form for the former, in that order. The first part of the present work deals with the influences on Matteo Bartoli\'s thought. The second part treats of the technical criteria elaborated by the author, set out in the Breviario di Neolinguistica. The third one is concerned with reactions and criticisms to Matteo Giulio Bartoli\'s though

El Barrio Lindo: Chicana/o and Latinx Social Space in Postindustrial Los Angeles
Get PDFEl Barrio Lindo: Chicana/o and Latinx Social Space in Postindustrial Los Angeles explores how youths and young adults cognitively map and physically traverse space in the postindustrial city. In the neoliberal era, when dominant social groups promote a world that revolves around materialistic gain and hyper-individualism, I reveal how artist activists author and authorize multiple and diverse visions of social membership. El Barrio Lindo focuses on how Chicanas/os and Latinxs re-appropriate social space through painting, music performances, poetry readings, marches and other forms of collective activity, carried out in the backyards of houses, in alleyways, in freeway culverts, in the areas that surround taco trucks, in common areas in public housing projects, and along busy boulevards across the city. I document and analyze repertoires of expressive culture that include “alternative archives” about race, gender, class, and power. These archives provide a critical reading of methods used by Chicana/o and Latinx communities for waging material and symbolic struggles for visibility and mobility. My sources include oral history interviews, community newspaper stories, archival documents, poems, song recordings, visual art, and observant participation
De lo superficial y de lo profundo en la obra de Elvira Lindo
Get PDFElvira Lindo es una artista polifacética que ha culminado con gran éxito sus diferentes tentativas por lo que al mundo de la escritura se refiere. Inicia su andadura profesional en la radio como locutora y guionista. Más tarde trabaja también como guionista en TVE y Tele 5 y es, posiblemente, en el ejercicio de dicha profesión de donde nuestra autora saca esa habilidad para captar cómo habla la gente. También ha ejercido de guionista de cine donde también ha intervenido como actriz secundaria. Además de esto, es una de las más reconocidas escritoras de literatura infantil por las series de Manolito Gafotas y Olivia, escribe los miércoles y domingos en el periódico El País y ha publicado, hasta el momento, tres novelas -El otro barrio, Algo más inesperado que la muerte y Una palabra tuya- y una obra de teatro -La ley de la selva.A lo largo de este trabajo realizamos, en primer lugar, una visión panorámica de la obra de la autora para pasar, en segundo lugar, a describir el marco teórico del que nos hemos provisto para realizar el análisis de los textos humorísticos aparecidos bajo los epígrafes de Tinto de verano, Gente y Don de gentes. La perspectiva elegida para llevar a cabo dicho análisis es la discursiva y pragmática. Dada la recreación de la oralidad que predomina en dichos textos, resulta importante el estudio de la lengua en uso y no como sistema abstracto y de ahí que ésta sea la perspectiva escogida. A partir de ello se ha estudiado, además de las características lingüísticas de los artículos, especialmente las relacionadas con la oralidad; el contexto de dichos artículos así como le público al que van destinados, para intentar tener una visión de conjunto lo más amplia y completa posible.Para abordar el estudio de los textos humorísticos de Lindo hemos partido, en gran medida, de las aportaciones realizadas desde los estudios de la pragmática, entendida ésta como el estudio de la función comunicativa de la lengua, ya que creemos que nos permite un estudio global de las diferentes manifestaciones lingüísticas. Se ha estudiado lo que se dice y cómo se dice pero también lo que no se dice, esas cosas sugeridas y que necesitan de la complicidad del público lector para culminar el deseado efecto cómico.La protagonista, que se parece a Elvira Lindo pero que no es ella, se caracteriza como una mujer de edad media y situación económica y social acomodada gracias a su trabajo y al de su marido, ambos escritores reconocidos. Pese a que, dada su labor, ella debería considerarse una intelectual, su vida se encuentra siempre escindida entre esa supuesta posición intelectual y otros roles como pueden ser el de ama de casa, el de madre de familia y, sobre todo, el de mujer frívola y superficial. Dicha escisión, que sirve para dar título a este trabajo, le sirve para subvertir cada uno de estos roles.En estos artículos se convocan infinidad de voces, se imitan registros, se plagian diferentes estilos discursivos, los títulos aparecen llenos de connotaciones y todos ellos aparecen atravesados por la ironía, motivo por el cual, dedicamos una parte del trabajo al estudio de la polifonía, así como a la intertextualidad, la connotación y la ironía, fenómenos todos ellos afines. Dada la inmensa nómina de personajes famosos que aparecen a lo largo de los diferentes artículos, hemos realizado un índice onomástico que aparece en forma de anexo. Finalmente, el trabajo finaliza con una entrevista realizada a la autora y que aparece también en el anexo.Elvira Lindo is a polifacetic artist who has culminated her many different attempts related to the field of writting literature with an enormous success. She started her professional career being a radio commentator and scriptwriter. Time later, she also was employed as a scriptwriter for Tele 5 and TVE two huge mass media channels. And, probably, due to the paractise of that profession is when Elvira Lindo began to show her abilities and skills , mainly in the field of language and located in the way people speak.In addition to this, it is fair to say that Elvira Lindo is one of the most remarkable writers regarding to children's Literature. She has become very popular and well-known for the series of novels called Manolito Gafotas and Olivia. Moreover she writes a two-day column in one of the biggest print-run newspapers - "El País". So far, she has published three novels: El otro barrio, Algo más inesperado que la muerte, Una palabra tuya and a play La ley de la selva.Lenghthwise all this project, we will use in a first term, a panoramic vision of the works of the author and in a second term, we will describe all the theoretic framework used to achieve the analysis of the humoristic texts published under the epigraphs of Tinto de verano, Gente and Don de gentes .The choosen prespectives to do the aforementioned analysis are two: the Discursive vision and the Pragmatic point of view. Due to the fact that recreation of orality dominates many of Elvira Lindo' works, it is very important the study of the language, the living language far from abstraction and close to "naturality", "quotidianity".That is the reason why we have not only studied the linguistics characteristics in the articles -especially the ones connected to orality- we have also studied the contextuality and the potential readers to whom these articles are addressed to.Paying attention to all these points we can have a perfect and complete picture of Elvira Lindo' works.To approach the study of the humoristic texts of Lindo, we have basically started following the contributions generated through the Pragmatism - if we understand the pragmatic studies like the study of the communicative function of the language- and we think that this communictive function allow us to have a global picture of the different linguistic evidences. We have studied What is said and How is said, but also, What is not said, all the hint words that an involved reader needs to discover the longed-for comic effect.The main female character-who is a fiction- is very alike to Elvira Lindo and the character is described as a middle-age woman, with a comfortable position ( economical and social) successfully achieved to her job and -in addition- to the job of her husband. They are, both, very remarkable writers. In the spite of the fact that she would consider herself as an intelectual, she presents her life splitted between that recognised intelectuality and the development of different roles like being a housewife, mother and above all, a superficial and frivolous woman. This duality (which is the tittle of this essay) it is used by her to subvert each role.In these articles we can find variety of voices, many speeches are imitated, different discursive styles are plagiarized, the headlines appear full of connotations and, all of them, are sprinkled with irony. Moreover we dedicate a part of our essay to study the polyphony as well as the study of intertextuality, the connotation and, of course, the irony. All of them are very alike. Because of the huge list of popular characters ("beautiful people") appearing throughtout the articles, we have made an onomastic index which is attached at the end. Finally, the essay ends interviewing the author, also included in the final attachements
Lateral violence among nurses at a Jamaican hospital : a mixed methods study
No full textPurpose: In many first-world settings, lateral violence among nurses is pervasive and has been associated with deleterious psychological effects, high staff turnover and negative patient outcomes. This study explored lateral violence among nurses at a Jamaican hospital.Methods: A fixed concurrent QUAN= QUAL mixed method study design was employed. Data were gathered from 114 registered nurses using the 38-item Briles’ Sabotage Savvy self-administered questionnaire and two focus group discussions.Results: Exposure to lateral violence was reported by 96% of participants, and 3/4 rated the exposure as moderate to severe. Nurse Managers were the main perpetrators of lateral violence (63%). Lateral violence created a hostile environment, and half of the nurses surveyed indicated an intent to resign. These survey findings were supported by the focus group discussions which yielded themes inclusive of professional disengagement and erosion of team work.Conclusion: The high levels of lateral violence reported in this study indicates an urgent need for the implementation of appropriate workplace violence policies. Reported threats to the healthcare system included poor staff retention and professional disengagement.Highlights:Lateral violence among nurses is one of the most damaging issues affecting the progress of the nursing profession and is well studied in the developed world.The attributes of the phenomenon of lateral violence in a low and middle-income country are described in this paper.Exposure to lateral violence was reported by 96% of participants, forms of lateral violence appeared to be mainly verbal or emotional and nurse managers were the major perpetrators.Assimilated behavior in response to lateral violence among the nurses included professional disengagement, retaliation, avoidance and intent to resign.The pervasiveness of lateral violence among the nurses studied indicates the need to implement appropriate workplace violence policies. </jats:p
