    (in English): The aim of this diploma thesis is to analyse the Dominican identity in the works of the Dominican author Marcio Veloz Maggiolo. At first, the thesis briefly summarizes the evolution of the Dominican literature and mentions its most significant figures. Secondly, it deals with the evolution of the dominicaness from the colonial period up to the present and explains the reasons of the rooted antihaitianism. The second part consists of a detailed analysis of the novels The Diffuse Biography of Sombra Castañeda and The Accordion Man by Marcio Veloz Maggiolo, emphasizing the symbols of the official government's discourse, and also a more opened perspective of the dominicaness

    This academic article answers the question what meaning has the memory in the construction of the subject in the Dominican short story of the writer Veloz Maggiolo. From the perspective of discourse analysis which assesses, in essence, the speech as a knowledge-building process, six representative stories of the author are analyzed. This paper defends the idea that the exploration of memory is the basis for construction of the subject in the stories of the writer mentioned above. So the subject is not configured by factual actions, but by the memory as the axis of tension and understanding of the world. The study was made possible under a model that describes and evaluates, systematically, discursive and structural elements in each of the stories analyzed. We conclude that memory not only builds and configures the subjectivity of the subject (individual and collective), but constitutes a prototypical element of the short story of Veloz Maggiolo. Therefore, the memory has a dream, textual and intertextual function.Este artículo académico responde a la pregunta qué significado tiene la memoria en la construcción del sujeto en la cuentística del escritor dominicano Veloz Maggiolo. Desde la perspectiva del análisis del discurso —que valora, en esencia, el discurso como un proceso de construcción de conocimiento— se analizan seis cuentos representativos de dicho autor. En este trabajo se defiende la idea de que la exploración de la memoria es el fundamento de construcción del sujeto en los cuentos del escritor mencionado más arriba. De modo que el sujeto no se configura mediante acciones fácticas, sino mediante la memoria como eje de tensión y comprensión del mundo. El estudio ha sido posible en virtud de un modelo que describe y evalúa, de modo sistemático, elementos discursivos y estructurales en cada uno de los cuentos analizados. Se concluye que la memoria no solo construye y configura la subjetividad del sujeto (individual y colectivo), sino que se constituye en un elemento prototípico de la cuentística de Veloz Maggiolo. Por tanto la memoria tiene una función onírica, textual e intertextual

    Aurora in the Polar Cap: A Review

    No full text
    This paper reviews our current understanding of auroral features that appear poleward of the main auroral oval within the polar cap, especially those that are known as Sun-aligned arcs, transpolar arcs, or theta auroras. They tend to appear predominantly during periods of quiet geomagnetic activity or northwards directed interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). We also introduce polar rain aurora which has been considered as a phenomenon on open field lines. We describe the morphology of such auroras, their development and dynamics in response to solar wind-magnetosphere coupling processes, and the models that have been developed to explain them

    Oscar Maggiolo y la construcción de un Sistema Nacional de Innovación en Uruguay: la aplicación de conocimiento a la producción de conocimiento

    Resumen: El presente trabajo tiene por objeto analizar una propuesta de desarrollo científico-tecnológico realizada por Oscar Maggiolo en Uruguay en las décadas de 1950 y 1960 del siglo XX. El propósito de este autor fue el de generar polos de desarrollo científico-tecnológicos, radicados fundamentalmente en la Universidad de la República, que tuvieran por objeto la producción de conocimiento e innovación para asistir al sector productivo uruguayo. Para tal fin Maggiolo parte de la convicción de que la palanca clave para el desarrollo de un sistema económico nacional e independiente es la inversión en recursos e infraestructura, orientado a la investigación y el desarrollo de productos de manera tal de insertar este conocimiento en la cadena productiva y poder, así, emprender una ruta de crecimiento que habría de romper con la situación de dependencia que supone una economía sustentada en el sector primario y con escaso aporte de valor agregado a los bienes que elabora. En virtud de lo anterior, se analizará su propuesta en función de las efectivas posibilidades de generar una ruta de crecimiento que ofrecía el Uruguay de mediados del siglo XX, inmerso en un contexto de subdesarrollo y dependencia.Abstract: The present work aims to analyze a proposal of scientific and technological development carried out by Oscar Maggiolo in Uruguay in the decades of the 50 and 60 of the last century. The purpose of this author was to generate poles of scientific and technological development, based mainly in the University of the Republic, whose purpose was the production of knowledge and innovation to assist the Uruguayan productive sector. To this end Maggiolo is convinced that the key lever for the development of a national and independent economic system is the investment in resources and infrastructure, oriented to the research and development of products in a way to insert this knowledge in the productive chain and and so being able to thus, to undertake a path of growth that would break with the situation of dependence that supposes an economy sustained in the primary sector and with little contribution of added value to the goods that it elaborates. In view of the above, his proposal will be analyzed based on the effective possibilities of generating a path of growth offered by Uruguay in the mid-twentieth century, immersed in a context of underdevelopment and dependence

    Auroral Arcs and Ion Outflow

    No full text
    The auroral ionosphere is a region of intense energy precipitation. Its most noteworthy effects are the intense luminous emissions observed in the auroral oval. Less visible but of primary importance for magnetospheric dynamics, this energy precipitation results in an intense outflow of ionospheric ions. In this chapter, we provide an overview of the whole chain of processes associated with auroral ion outflow. We discuss the processes that energize ionospheric ions, from the topside ionosphere to the more distant magnetospheric regions, and the effect of auroral ionospheric outflow on the magnetospheric dynamics. We will also present recent observations of auroral ion outflow. They provide a detailed picture of its large-scale spatial distribution, its dependence on solar and geomagnetic activity, its temporal dynamics, and its connection with auroral emissions. © 2016 by the American Geophysical Union.

    Does a Magnetosphere Protect the Ionosphere?

    No full text
    This chapter reviews observation at Venus, Earth, and Mars related to ionospheric ion outflow. We compareobservations made around these three planets – Venus and Mars, which are unmagnetized, and Earth, whichis magnetized – in order to assess the protective effect of planetary magnetic fields on ionospheric ion outflow. We discuss the measured flux of outflowing ionospheric ions, the energy transfer from the solar wind to the ionosphere and the fate of outflowing ionospheric ions. Our conclusion is that there is no observational evidence that,under current conditions, Earth’s magnetic field can protect its ionosphere from losing material any better thanthe induced magnetospheres of Venus and Mars. However, extrapolating this result to geological timescale or toother planets must be made with care due to the complexity of the processes associated with ionospheric ionoutflow.</p
