Daughter of fortune: Isabel Allende's popularity from a readership perspective
No full textThe primary aim of this thesis is to explore and critically interrogate Isabel Allende’s popularity cross-culturally in Britain and Spain. It analyses readers’ responses to Allende’s works as well as the discourses surrounding her public representation, an approach that is ‘readerly’ but must also take account of production and text. This approach is intended to further the understanding of Allende’s work which so far has always been analysed from a textual perspective. However, the relationship between Allende’s popularity, her texts, public representation and readers has not been yet analysed in detail.This thesis is innovative in other ways too. Methodologically, it approaches readers through the under studied cultural form of the reading group. It also incorporates a comparative dimension by looking at the reception of Allende in two different cultural contexts: the British and Spanish respectively. Finding out about Allende’s popularity has involved asking readers about their reading experiences as well as analysing the production of discourses around her public representation. Paul Ricoeur’s (1984, 1988) perspective on authorial intentions and readers’ responses to texts helps in understanding the intricacies surrounding what is involved in reading any text. It draws attention to Allende’s and her publishers’ authorial strategies, her ‘strategies of persuasion’ and the specificity of the lives and contexts of British and Spanish reading publics. Equally, this ‘readerly’ approach draws on feminist audience research and primarily on the work of Ien Ang and Janice Radway. Their work with viewers and readers respectively is particularly useful in establishing and developing methodological parameters for the study of reading groups. As a whole, this thesis contributes to the understanding of Allende’s cross-cultural popularity by situating readers at the centre

Abiotic stress alters the nutritional, metabolomic, and glycomic profiles of Piper auritum kunth
No full textTraditional diets based on diverse edible plants are increasingly threatened by climate change, which exposes crops to abiotic and biotic stressors such as drought, soil salinity, UV radiation, microorganisms, and insect herbivory. Understanding how these conditions influence both the nutritional and nutraceutical profiles, as well as the availability of key compounds, is essential to preserve their functional value. Piper auritum Kunth, used in Mexican gastronomy, was selected to assess two abiotic stress scenarios: drought stress (DS) and salicylic acid (SA) to simulate plant defense against pathogens and/or predators. We evaluated proximate composition, dietary fiber, total phenolics, total flavonoids, antioxidant capacity, low molecular weight carbohydrates (LMWCs), monomeric composition, and essential oil volatiles. Additionally, the simulated gastrointestinal digestion (INFOGEST) with an additional rat small-intestine extract (RSIE) revealed that both SA and DS shifted sugar distribution, especially for soluble and structural pools. SA treatment correlated with synthesis of secondary metabolites, particularly oxygenated and hydrocarbon terpenes. Both abiotic stressors modulated LMWC release during digestion, altering the distribution of sugars such as raffinose and galacturonic acid, with potential prebiotic implications. Essential oil analysis revealed stress-specific shifts in volatile composition, particularly in safrole, β-caryophyllene, and related terpenes. Beyond individual compound changes, the combined evaluation of composition, antioxidant properties, and volatile profile provides a comprehensive view of how abiotic stress can reshape the functional potential of P. auritum. To our knowledge, this is the first report on LMWC relative abundance across INFOGEST stages for a quelite species and on the integrated effect of DS and SA on its chemical profile. These findings highlight the importance of including compound release and functional traits, alongside chemical characterization, in future assessments of traditional plants under climate-related stress to safeguard their contribution to sustainable diets.Author A.

Humanismo y Reforma en la corte renacentista de Isabel de Vilamarí : Escipión Capece y sus lectoras
No full textDurante la primera mitad del siglo XVI y en la corte salernitana del último príncipe de la casa Sanseverino y de su esposa, Isabel de Vilamarí (noble señora de origen catalán) se desarrolló un intenso clima intelectual. Allí se congregaron artistas y humanistas italianos y españoles. En este ambiente de intercambio cultural, atento en participar en las ideas de la Reforma que se difundió en Nápoles gracias a B. Ochino y a Valdés, nace el poema De principiis rerum del último académico pontaniano: Escipión Capece. En esta obra no sólo se rastrean motivos lucrecianos y virgilianos sino también el influjo de los tratados cosmológicos de Pontano. En este estudio, la autora propone el análisis de la figura y de la obra de Capece a través de sus lectoras: Isabel de Vilamarí y las mujeres cultas de su corte.During the first half of sixteenth century and in the Salernitan court of the last prince Sanseverino and his wife Isabel de Vilamarí (a lady coming from a noble Catalan family) an intense intellectual climate developed. Italian and Spanish artists and humanists met there. In this environment of cultural exchange, that shared in the Reform ideas divulged in Naples by B. Ochino and Valdés, Scipione Capece (the last member of the Pontanian Academy) writes his poem De principiis rerum. In his book Capece uses Latin literature (Vergil and Lucretius mainly) and Pontano's treatises on cosmology. The author of this paper studies Scipione Capece through his female readership: Isabel de Vilamarí and the learned women from her court

Violencia política, miedo y amenaza en lugares de memoria
No full textEn este artículo analizaré las memorias sobre el pasado reciente chileno construidas en el marco de una investigación que invita a personas de distintas generaciones a visitar lugares de memoria y a reflexionar colectivamente en torno a la experiencia de la visita. Argumentaré que en la construcción de estas memorias la violencia política, la amenaza y el miedo operan como referentes. Mientras la memoria opera como un proceso articulador entre pasado-presente-futuro, lo constitutivo de dicha conexión es la violencia política del Estado, la amenaza que esta constituye para quienes llevan a cabo acciones políticas que cuestionan o tensionan el orden social y el miedo que ello produce. Estos referentes son utilizados para comprender el presente y para definir sujetos generacionales. Mostraré como se construyen tres posiciones generacionales definidas por su relación con el miedo: la generación traumatizada, la generación heredera del miedo y la generación sin miedo
Obstinaciones de la memoria : la dictadura militar chilena en las tramas del recuerdo
No full textEn esta investigación se analizan múltiples relatos sobre la dictadura militar chilena, tanto de quienes sufrieron directamente la represión política y de quienes trabajan con sus efectos, como de quienes no se definen a sí mismos/as ni como víctimas ni como participantes de algún trabajo o movimiento de derechos humanos. Aunque las versiones que se construyen sobre el pasado son múltiples, en esta tesis se defiende la idea de que bajo el alero de estas diferencias se producen retóricas argumentativas que cruzan las diferencias de contenido y/o de intención de los y las hablantes, produciendo efectos políticos similares. La presente investigación se centra en la memoria en tanto proceso dialógico a través del cual se defienden y argumentan ciertas posiciones del pasado. Al mismo tiempo analiza sus usos como argumento para defender ciertas versiones sobre el presente que a su vez sostienen la creación de identidades. La memoria se constituye así en un centro articulador de la vida social en diversos sentidos: construcción del pasado, explicación del presente, sostén identitario, y eje articulador de prácticas políticas
