Coelioxys (Cyrtocoelioxys)
No full textCoelioxys (Cyrtocoelioxys) sp. nov. GD: Puerto Rico. One female housed in the USNM collection and with the following label data seems to have been temporarily misplaced: Borinquen, Puerto Rico, 18.vi.1944, plane 5978, #1918, lo. no. 44 19590. This specimen was studied by the senior author (JAG) in 1999 while visiting the collection. The reddish-brown color on metasomal tergum I is more extensively present in the basal area (in C. spinosa this coloration occurs only laterally), the apical process of metasomal sternum VI is short (versus elongate in C. spinosa; Fig. 15B), and the apical margin of tergum VI is tridentate. Drawings of the female’s scutellum, axillae and apex of the metasoma were published by Genaro (2001) as erroneously pertaining to C. spinosa.Published as part of Genaro, Julio A. & Franz, Nico M., 2008, The bees of Greater Puerto Rico (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Anthophila), pp. 1-24 in Insecta Mundi 2008 (40) on page 10, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.516966
Genaro Ledesma: el papel del sujeto letrado en La tumba del relámpago
No full textManuel Scorza (1928-1983), Peruvian poet and writer, is the author of the narrative project called La guerra silenciosa, consisting of five novels. La tumba del relámpago (1979), the last novel of the cycle, highlights the decisive action of the literate subject represented in Genaro Ledesma. The purpose of this paper is to study the role of said character as a teacher, mayor, lawyer and leader of the Cerro de Pasco communities in the aforementioned novel. Ascribed to the ethics to the intellectual committed to the deeds of the peasants, Genaro Ledesma instrumentalizes legal knowledge, knowledge of the law and strategies of struggle to lead the communities of the central Andes towards the final battle. In this way, and unlike the other leaders who are part of the Scorzian saga, the character introduces a historical perspective in understanding and resolving the existing conflict between the peasants and the landowners over land ownership.Manuel Scorza (1928-1983), poeta y escritor peruano, es autor del proyecto narrativo denominado La guerra silenciosa, conformado por cinco novelas.

Teorías de la acción social y estrategias de intervención del trabajo social
No full textIn this work, Genaro Zalpa recovers the importance of the conception of the nature of human beings and their social life as central perspectives in the understanding of the history of social work as a contemporary discipline and to delineate the practices of intervention on social problems.The author investigates the Chicago School, analyzing the relationships between the theory and the intervention practices of the residents of the Hull House, founded by Jane Addams -recognized pioneer of the professionalization of social work in North America-, and at the same time, he presents a critical review of several contemporary social theories: Marxism and systems theories (but without addressing the Frankfurt School or the Foucauldian perspective), the sociological theory of Emile Durkheim and Max Weber, the structural functionalist theory of Talcott Parsons, the sociological phenomenological exposition of Schütz, Berger and Luckmann, better known as social constructionism, and the social thought of Bourdieu. Zalpa outlines an unpublished social theory based on the concept of strategies as an essential component of the theory of action, in such a way that intervention strategies are not a derivative of the theory of social action, but are conceived as one of its essential components.Genaro Zalpa\u27s critical and propositional treatment is always threaded from three dimensions: concepts and categories of analysis, strategic perspective of social intervention and problematization of the theoretical, methodical and scientific view for Social Work professionals.Leticia Cano SorianoDirector of the National School of Social Work UNAMEn esta obra, Genaro Zalpa recupera la importancia de la concepción de la naturaleza del ser humano y de su vida social como perspectivas centrales en la comprensión de la historia del trabajo social como disciplina contemporánea y para delinear las prácticas de intervención sobre la problemática social.El autor investiga la Escuela de Chicago, analizando las relaciones entre la teoría y las prácticas de intervención de las residentes de la Hull House, fundada por Jane Addams –reconocida pionera de la profesionalización del trabajo social en Norteamérica–, y a su vez, presenta un recorrido crítico sobre diversas teorías sociales contemporáneas: el marxismo y las teorías de sistemas (pero sin abordar la Escuela de Frankfurt o la perspectiva foucaultiana), la teoría sociológicas de Emile Durkheim y Max Weber, la estructural funcionalista de Talcott Parsons, la exposición sociológico fenomenológica en Schütz, Berger y Luckmann, mejor conocida como la del construccionismo social y el pensamiento social de Bourdieu. Zalpa esboza una teoría social inédita con base en el concepto de estrategias como componente esencial de la teoría de la acción, de tal manera que las estrategias de intervención no son un derivado de la teoría de la acción social, sino que se conciben como uno de sus componentes esenciales.El tratamiento crítico y propositivo de Genaro Zalpa se enhebra siempre desde tres dimensiones: conceptos y categorías de análisis, perspectiva estratégica de la intervención social y problematización de la mirada teórica, metódica y científica para profesionales de Trabajo Social.Mtra.

CÓMO SOMOS, QUÉ CREEMOS, CÓMO VIVIMOS: Cultura, religiones y vida cotidiana
No full textThis book is a compilation of previously published articles and book chapters, which have been personally selected by its author, Genaro Zalpa, from among his extensive academic work.
In the author\u27s words:
“Readers will notice that there are empirical research articles on the Purépecha region and on the customs of my people, on comics (although not on the ones I read in my childhood), on religion and beliefs, on the culture of organizations and globalization, on corruption as a cultural problem of daily life in our country, among others.
It seems to me that all these articles, in their diversity, can form a unit composed of the four sections that bring them together: Theory, Culture, Religion and Methodology.
The theory section, composed of essays that are the result of theoretical research, is placed at the beginning because logically they precede the other articles, which does not mean that they were written and published previously.
I put it at the beginning because, from my point of view, theory fulfills the functions of a map of reality which, without coinciding with it (if it did coincide it would stop being a map and would simply be reality) allows us to see phenomena that we would not see without theory.
For example, the importance of cultures and religions, which make up two of the sections of this compilation. Finally, a cultivated curiosity would not be complete without methodological tools for research. This does not mean, of course, that they are the only tools I have used. I include them here because they are, in a way, an original contribution to the theory-methodology relationship.Este libro es una compilación de artículos y capítulos de libros previamente publicados, los cuales han sido seleccionados personalmente por su autor, Genaro Zalpa, de entre su muy extensa obra académica.
En palabras del autor:
“Los lectores podrán darse cuenta de que hay artículos de investigación empírica sobre la región purépecha y sobre las costumbres de mi pueblo, sobre las historietas (aunque no sobre las que yo leía en mi infancia), sobre la religión y las creencias, sobre la cultura de las organizaciones y la globalización, sobre la corrupción como problemática cultural de la vida cotidiana de nuestro país, entre otros.
Me parece que todos esos artículos, en su diversidad, pueden conformar una unidad compuesta por los cuatro apartados que los aglutinan: Teoría, Cultura, Religión y Metodología.
El apartado de teoría, compuesto por ensayos que son el resultado de investigaciones teóricas, está colocado al principio porque lógicamente preceden a los demás artículos, lo cual no quiere decir que temporalmente hayan sido redactados y publicados con anterioridad.
Lo coloco al principio porque, desde mi punto de vista, la teoría cumple las funciones de un mapa de la realidad que, sin coincidir con ella (si coincidiera dejaría de ser un mapa para ser, sencillamente, la realidad) nos hace ver fenómenos que no veríamos sin la teoría.
Como, por ejemplo, la importancia de las culturas y de las religiones, que conforman dos de los apartados de esta compilación. Finalmente, una curiosidad cultivada no estaría completa sin las herramientas metodológicas para la investigación. No quiere decir, desde luego, que sean las únicas herramientas que he utilizado. Las incluyo aquí porque son, de alguna manera, una contribución original a la relación teoría-metodología”

La nueva novela caballeresca de Ana María Matute
No full textAn original variant of the new historical novel, the neo-chivalric novel restructures the myths surrounding a poeticized and beautified chivalric world. This work focuses on three novels—La torre vigía, Olvidado Rey Gudú, and Aranmanoth—by renowned Spanish author Ana María Matute, as prime material for a genre study which demonstrates how this occurs. The typological paradigm set forth in works by Tzvetan Todorov, together with studies by Seymour Menton, Fernando Aínsa, Janet Pérez and Genaro Pérez over the new historical novel (of which branches the new chivalric novel), serves as methodological resources in the specification of four attributes of Matute’s neo-chivalric novel: a medieval framework, intertextuality, a social subtext, and an apocalyptic tone.
Within the medieval framework, emphasis is placed on the inhospitable and violently unforgiving environment populated by knights and nobles who are greedy and exploitative pedophiles, rapists and, contrary to chivalric norms, homosexuals. These characters are juxtaposed with symbolic creatures from medieval bestiaries such as wolves, boars and dragons which enrich their depth of interpretation. The unique and consistent paracosmic fantasy world presented in these novels also forms part of the medieval framework and is explored here. Intertextual elements found in these novels provide them with a temporal universalism that transcends the medieval environment in which they are set. Matute inserts in her narrations echoes, allusions and rewrites from a select range of resources: the Bible, chivalric romances such as Lancelot and Guinevere, and fairy tales as renowned as Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and Cinderella. This implicit and explicit inclusion of these texts creates an atemporal effect on her characters and her messages. These messages are social in nature and manifest themselves in various ways throughout Matute’s neo-chivalric novels. This study examines the social subtext through human nature in relation to material differences based on social status, biblical themes that denounce fraternal conflict—which is symbolically extended to represent all of humanity—and a temporal universalism that warns against the dangers of mankind repeating past mistakes. Matute also incorporates numerous characteristics associated with the apocalyptic genre—revelatory visions, complex symbolisms, and pessimism towards humanity—providing a millennial link to her medieval setting: the fear of judgment day. This inclusion/fusion of the apocalyptic with the chivalric appears as a literary novelty and is an essential ingredient in the neo-chivalric works of Matute.
The present study extrapolates the most common and poignant features of Matute’s medieval novels as a basis for this original list of characteristics that serves as a valid and practical approach to the analysis of certain contemporary novels that have been erroneously classified as chivalric. The proposed neo-chivalric typology therefore exposes the connective tissue between the three Matute novels most distinct from the rest of her work, while showing the novelty they contribute to the world of literature by analyzing the different ways in which her original medieval atmosphere gives a unique twist to the traditional, literary chivalric world
