Mães perturbadoras, filhos monstruosos: uma leitura de Distância de resgate, de Samanta Schweblin
No full textDistância de resgate (2016) é a primeira e única novela de Samanta Schweblin, escritora argentina tradicionalmente contista.

How do the poor handle money? What do the financial diaries of char dwellers tell us about financial inclusion?
No full textDerived from livelihoods surveys and ethnographic material about people living on the chars, or river islands, in deltaic lower Bengal, this paper illustrates the complex, diverse and ingenious ways that the poor manage money. These islands constitute some of the most vulnerable housing locations of some of the poorest communities; state services and facilities do not reach the chars because they are not listed as land in revenue records. It demonstrates that the poor live in a diverse economy where community spirit, family assistance and trust play roles equally important to markets. In doing so, it puts forth a grounded-in-the-field, evidence-based, critique of the slogan ‘financial inclusion’ that has gained prominence in recent years

Linear stability of a liquid flow through a poroelastic channel
No full textA liquid flow through a channel is studied based on the Orr-Sommerfeld eigenvalue problem, where the lower wall of the channel is occupied by the saturated poroelastic medium. The linear stability analysis is investigated in detail for arbitrary value of the wavenumber. The eigenvalues are computed numerically by using the Chebyshev spectral collocation method. The effect of physical parameters, for instance, permeability, elasticity as well as their combined effect on the unstable modes are examined
Lo familiar y lo femenino en la narrativa de Samanta Schweblin
No full textThe Argentine narrator Samanta Schweblin, member of the Granta and Bogotá 39 Selections, is the author of the novels Kentukis, Fever Dream and the books of short stories Siete casas vacías (Seven empty houses) and Mouthful of Birds. Her narrative, due to its characteristics, can be considered feminine (even feminist), as she creates universes from the perspective of women, in which their world —with all its objects, situations, rolls, experiences— is put in evidence and questioned, even from the writing techniques. This article offers a reading of the family environment built on the narrative of the Argentine author, the books Fever Dream (2014) and Mouthful of Birds (2009), from a female voice that can be considered part of that "new canon" in Latin American literature.La narradora argentina Samanta Schweblin, perteneciente a las selecciones Granta y Bogotá 39, es autora de las novelas Kentukis, Distancia de rescate y los libros de cuentos Siete casas vacías y Pájaros en la boca.
