Relaciones interculturales y transculturación en Monkey Hunting, de Cristina García
No full textEste artículo aplica el enfoque crítico de las relaciones interculturales propuesto por Rona Halualani para analizar la transculturación en la novela Monkey Hunting (2003) de la escritora cubano-americana Cristina García. Partiendo de la idea de que la interacción entre culturas es multidireccional y está mediada por relaciones de poder – especialmente la etnia y la clase social –, el estudio examina los intercambios culturales, los procesos de adaptación y las transformaciones socioculturales producidos en Cuba desde la segunda mitad del siglo XIX hasta gran parte del siglo XX, como se describen en el texto de García. Así, a través del seguimiento de cuatro generaciones de una familia chino-afrocubana – descendiente de un trabajador chino y de una mujer exesclavizada –, la lectura pone de relieve la dinámica y la complejidad de la transculturación en el Caribe hispano y su papel central en la conformación de la cultura cubana.
Relações interculturais e transculturação em Monkey Hunting, de Cristina García
Este artigo aplica a abordagem crítica das relações interculturais proposta por Rona Halualani para analisar a transculturação no romance Monkey Hunting (2003), da escritora cubanoamericana Cristina García. Partindo da ideia de que a interação entre culturas é multidirecional e mediada por relações de poder – especialmente etnia e classe social –, o estudo examina as trocas culturais, os processos de adaptação e as transformações socioculturais que ocorreram em Cuba da segunda metade do século XIX até grande parte do século XX, conforme descrito no texto de García. Assim, ao acompanhar quatro gerações de uma família sino-afro-cubana – descendente de um trabalhador chinês e de uma ex-escrava – a leitura destaca a dinâmica e a complexidade da transculturação no Caribe hispânico e seu papel central na formação da cultura cubana.

This article applies the critical approach to intercultural relations proposed by Rona Halualani to analyze transculturation in the novel Monkey Hunting (2003) by Cuban-American writer Cristina García. Starting from the idea that the interaction between cultures is multidirectional and mediated by power relations – especially ethnicity and social class – the study examines the cultural exchanges, adaptation processes, and sociocultural transformations that occurred in Cuba from the second half of the 19th century to much of the 20th century, as described in García’s text. Thus, by following four generations of a Chinese-Afro-Cuban family descended from a Chineseworker and a formerly enslaved woman, the reading highlights the dynamics and complexity of transculturation in the Hispanic Caribbean and its central role in shaping Cuban culture.
MANIFESTACIONES DEL TRAUMA EN MANDÍBULA, DE MÓNICA OJEDA
Get PDFRESUMEN: Tradicionalmente se ha sostenido que el trauma en la ficción se centra en la tensión entre narrar o no el evento traumático. Sin embargo, el trauma y sus manifestaciones van más allá de esta dicotomía, como se evidencia en la novela Mandíbula de la escritora ecuatoriana Mónica Ojeda, un texto en el que, dado al papel primordial de la violencia y el miedo como hilo conductor de la trama, varios de los personajes experimentan un trauma con diferentes manifestaciones y características. Con esta premisa, mediante la aplicación de la teoría sobre el trauma en la literatura (Literary Trauma Theory), este artículo explora brevemente las manifestaciones del trauma tal como se plasman en el relato de Ojeda para revelar que el trauma en la literatura incluye un espectro más amplio de tipos de trauma y manifestaciones del mismo. En este sentido, este artículo sostiene que el análisis de las manifestaciones del trauma en Mandíbula demuestra la interacción entre la memoria, el lenguaje, el cuerpo y la mente en el manejo, la asimilación y la resolución de las experiencias traumáticas y que las representaciones literarias del trauma psicológico son variables y contradictorias, lo que implica la necesidad de replantear y ampliar su estudio.Este artículo analiza las manifestaciones del trauma en la novela Mandíbula (2018), de la escritora ecuatoriana Mónica Ojeda, utilizando la teoría sobre el trauma en la literatura (Literary Trauma Theory) como marco teórico. Se examina cómo la obra va más allá de la dicotomía tradicional entre narrar o no el evento traumático, proponiendo un espectro más amplio de tipos y manifestaciones del trauma. A través de las voces de los personajes, Mandíbula expone las dinámicas entre la memoria, el lenguaje, el cuerpo y la mente en el manejo y asimilación de las experiencias traumáticas. Asimismo, se explora el papel de la violencia y el miedo como hilo conductor de la historia, revelando cómo el trauma individual y colectivo determina relaciones familiares conflictivas y violentas. Con todo, el análisis destaca que las representaciones literarias del trauma psicológico en Mandíbula son variables, simbólicamente ricas y contradictorias, lo que invita a replantear y ampliar las aproximaciones críticas al trauma en la literatura latinoamericana contemporánea.This article analyzes the manifestations of trauma in the novel Mandíbula (2018) by Ecuadorian writer Mónica Ojeda, using Literary Trauma Theory as a theoretical framework. It examines how the novel moves beyond the traditional dichotomy of narrating or silencing traumatic events, proposing a broader spectrum of trauma types and manifestations. Through the voices of its characters, Mandíbula reveals the dynamics between memory, language, body, and mind in coping with and assimilating traumatic experiences. Additionally, it explores the role of violence and fear as central threads of the narrative, uncovering how individual and collective trauma shape conflictual and violent familial relationships. Ultimately, the analysis highlights that the literary representations of psychological trauma in Mandíbula are variable, symbolically rich, and contradictory, inviting a reevaluation and expansion of critical approaches to trauma in contemporary Latin American literature
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
