Resumen: Este artículo argumenta que la teoría de la agencia epistémica compartida de Fernando Broncano llama a un análisis de cómo compartir la agencia epistémica resistente para entender cómo luchar contra los daños epistémicos agenciales en comunidades de resistencia y a través de lo que el autor denomina activismo epistémico. El autor sostiene que la epistemología de la dependencia de Broncano necesita ser suplementada con una epistemología del activismo y del empoderamiento que muestre cómo los daños agenciales epistémicos pueden ser reparados, cómo los obstáculos estructurales e institucionales que constriñen la agencia epistémica de grupos oprimidos pueden ser desmantelados, y cómo la falta de agencia epistémica de grupos marginados puede subsanarse con el empoderamiento epistémico de estos grupos.
Abstract: This article argues that Fernando Broncano’s theory of shared epistemic agency calls for an analysis of how to share resistant epistemic agency in order to understand how to fight against agential epistemic harms in communities of resistance and through what the author terms epistemic activism. The author maintains that Broncano’s epistemology of dependence needs to be supplemented with an epistemology of activism and empowerment that shows how agential epistemic harms can be repaired, how structural and institutional obstacles that constrain the epistemic agency of oppressed groups can be dismantled, and how the epistemic agency of marginalized groups can be restored through the epistemic self-empowerment of those groups.

Rotavirus infection status of contacts was determined by RT-qPCR. We examined factors associated with transmissibility (index-case characteristics) and susceptibility (household-contact characteristics).ResultsAmongst cases, diarrhea controls and healthy control household contacts, infection attack rates (iAR) were 55%, 8% and 2%, (n\ue2\u20ac\u160=\ue2\u20ac\u160137, 130, 137) respectively. iARs were higher from index cases with vomiting, and amongst siblings. Disease ARs were higher when the index child was <18 months and had vomiting, with household contact <10 years and those sharing a room with the index case being more susceptible. We found no evidence of asymptomatic infections leading to disease transmission.ConclusionTransmission rates of rotavirus are high in households with an infected child, while background infections are rare. We have identified factors associated with transmission (vomiting/young age of index case) and susceptibility (young age/sharing a room/being a sibling of the index case). Vaccination may lead to indirect benefits by averting episodes or reducing symptoms in vaccinees

Norovirus was detected in 260 samples (18%) but was not found more frequently in diarrheal samples (79 of 438 [18%]), compared with diarrhea-free samples (181 of 1016 [18%]; P = .919). A total of 66% of children had at least 1 norovirus infection during the first 3 years of life, and 40% of children had 2 infections. Previous norovirus infections were not associated with the risk of subsequent infection. All genogroup II, genotype 4 (GII.4) infections were among secretor-positive children (P < .001), but higher rates of non-GII.4 infections were found in secretor-negative children (relative risk, 0.56; P = .029).|GII.4 infections were uniquely detected in secretor-positive children, while non-GII.4 infections were more often found in secretor-negative children.20142014-12-10T00:00:00Z100714/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom940
Adquisición del japonés como segunda lengua y evolución de la identidad en experiencias plurilingües y pluriculturales
Get PDFTras haber trabajado con muchos estudiantes de japonés como profesora de esta lengua durante muchos años, me intrigaba la forma en que cambiaban su forma de pensar y su comportamiento cuanto más aprendían sobre la lengua y la cultura japonesas, y cuanto más influyentes se volvía en el uso del japonés en sus vidas. Por ello, pedimos a cinco españoles que habían estudiado japonés durante mucho tiempo y habían vivido en Japón que nos hablaran de su relación con Japón mediante entrevistas sobre su vida. El objetivo de este estudio era analizar el impacto del aprendizaje de una segunda lengua y cultura, a saber, la lengua y la cultura japonesas, en la identidad de los individuos.
Según la teoría de Anthony Pym en Exploring translation theories (2014, 2ª Ed.), "mediación" y "traducción sin traducciones" son sinónimos. Los resultados del análisis de las entrevistas con los cinco colaboradores de esta tesis corroboran esta afirmación. Además, de las entrevistas con los colaboradores, surgió la palabra clave katachi (forma) como símbolo de la lengua japonesa y de la sociedad japonesa. En otras palabras, quedó claro que, a través de sus diversas experiencias en Japón, un país con una lengua y un estilo de vida completamente diferentes a los de España, estaban pensando en Japón a su manera e incorporando la lengua y la cultura japonesas a sus propias identidades mediante la "traducción sin traducciones". No sólo hubo aspiraciones, cariño y esperanzas, sino también amargas experiencias de rechazo, decepción y dudas sobre sí mismos, a veces en forma de conflictos interculturales, pero los cinco se recuperaron con éxito al asumir su posición de mediadores entre los dos países, y siguen trabajando como mediadores en sus respectivos puestos de trabajo actuales. También quedó claro que la katachi que le buscaron en Japón tuvo un impacto en sus identidades y sigue fluyendo en la raíz de su propio pensamiento ahora que han regresado a España.Having worked with students studying Japanese as a Japanese language teacher for many years, the author was intrigued by how their thinking and behaviour changed the more they learned about Japanese language and culture, and the more influential they became in the use of Japanese in their lives. To better understand this, the author interviewed five Spaniards who had studied Japanese for a long time and lived in Japan to recount their relationship with Japan. The aim of this study was to analyse the impact of learning a second language and culture, in this case Japanese language and culture, on the identity of individual learners.
According to Anthony Pym's theory in Exploring Translation Theories (2014), "mediation" and "translation without translations" are synonymous, and the results from the analysis of the interviews proved this claim. Furthermore, from the interviews the key word katachi (form) emerged as a symbol of the Japanese language and Japanese society. In other words, it became clear that, through their diverse experiences in Japan, a country with a language and way of life completely different from Spain, these interview subjects see Japan in their own way whilst incorporating Japanese language and culture into their own identities through "translation without translation". There were not only aspirations, affection and hopes, but also bitter experiences of rejection, disappointment, and self-doubt, sometimes in the form of intercultural conflict. Despite that, all five interview subjects overcame these successfully by assuming their role as mediators between the two countries and continue to work as mediators in their respective current jobs. It also became clear that the katachi (form) they sought for themselves in Japan had an impact on their identities and continues to flow at the root of their own thinking now that they have returned to Spain.Programa de Doctorado en Humanidades por la Universidad Carlos III de MadridPresidente: Carlos Thiebaut Luis-Andre.- Secretaria: Kyoko Ito-Morales.- Vocal: Javier Bustamante Dona

@Cervantes & Cía. 2.0: El tecnocuerpo cervantino en la red social. Apropiaciones, rescrituras, usurpaciones, imposturas, simulaciones varias y el editor cyborg.
No full textIn the feld of History of Literature the possibility of developing fctitious avatars in social networks allows anyone to play with canonical authors’ identity, biographical data and textual works. Such virtual identities already exist in many current social networks—and are used for and addressed towards a diversity of goals by their creators (both individual and corporate ones). Twitter, as an open feld to the culture of a freely-chosen avatar, collects voices which refect the historical character of an author based on the ofcial culture we inherited from and author or, at the same time, shows voices loosely based on particular traits of an author to create derivative characters. Therefore, we can fnd multiple different —even opposite— identities associated to one single name, who is reinterpreted by his virtual counterparts in a series of rewritings and appropriations, from simulation to imposture. Furthermore, the use of hashtags named as authors’ names as a way to generate real time publications based on a particular author’s related content brings the social network’s algorithm to be considered as a cyborg-publisher driven by an artifcial intelligence empowered by human provided content. Around this game of appropriations, several questions arise: Who are behind those identities and what kind of users create them? What are the goals of these embodied appropriations and how does this activity affects the canonical identity of an author and its traditional spaces of dissemination? I will analyse the example of the multiple avatars of national Spanish writer Miguel de Cervantes under a rich theoretical framework based on the concepts elaborated by Daniel Escandell on how avatars work, by Katherine Hayles on the post-humanist landscape, by Vicente Luis Mora on the reader as spectator, by Espen Aarseth on cybertext, by Joseph Grigely on textualterity, and by Fernando Broncano on the concept of cyborg
