The Fan and the Idol: Re-tracing Authorship in “The Author of Beltraffio”
No full textThis article is an investigation of the theme of authorship in Henry James’s tale “The author of Beltraffio.” Written at a crucial stage of James’s career, this tale stands at the crossroads between James’s high realism, his uneasy flirting with aestheticism, and his more experimental narrative turns. The article argues that in this story authorship is step by step not only mobilized, but also vampirized and dispossessed by the narrator, who exchanges the intimacy with the author and his individuality for commodities to be consumed. Authorship, Martinez contends, is figured in the tale as the result of a social discourse, where the veneration of the narrator for the “author of Beltraffio” borders on the relationship between “fan” and “idol.” Such a gesture is located within the broader cultural concerns James was dealing with at the time: the establishment of literary realism in America; the reconfiguration of the relation between private and public experience; the emergence of a mass readership; and a growing bifurcation between the mutually constituting high-brow and low-brow cultural spheres

Retelling racialized violence, remaking white innocence: the politics of interlocking oppressions in transgender day of remembrance
No full textTransgender Day of Remembrance has become a significant political event among those resisting violence against gender-variant persons. Commemorated in more than 250 locations worldwide, this day honors individuals who were killed due to anti-transgender hatred or prejudice. However, by focusing on transphobia as the definitive cause of violence, this ritual potentially obscures the ways in which hierarchies of race, class, and sexuality constitute such acts. Taking the Transgender Day of Remembrance/Remembering Our Dead project as a case study for considering the politics of memorialization, as well as tracing the narrative history of the Fred F. C. Martinez murder case in Colorado, the author argues that deracialized accounts of violence produce seemingly innocent White witnesses who can consume these spectacles of domination without confronting their own complicity in such acts. The author suggests that remembrance practices require critical rethinking if we are to confront violence in more effective ways.

Estudo de tipologias em edificações verticais para habilitação popular: sistemas par em Chapecó - SC
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro Tecnológico. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia Civil.A pesquisa tem como objetivo principal analisar dados referentes às condições habitacionais dos conjuntos de habitação popular em altura existentes em Chapecó/SC, analisando sistematicamente os dois casos mais complexos existentes no município nesse contexto, para podermos ter um comparativo entre os mesmos, pois ambos são financiados pelo PAR (Programa de Arrendamento Residencial) e possuem os mesmos valores empreendidos. Esta análise dará subsídios para identificar itens a serem retificados e reestruturados, e itens que devem compor uma tipologia ideal de conjunto habitacional em altura. Esta pesquisa proporciona ampla discussão sobre as soluções arquitetônicas utilizadas para tratar a questão habitacional da classe popular. Questionamentos surgirão quanto à qualidade de materiais utilizados, consciência ambiental, desperdício de materiais das tipologias atuais, e principalmente a criação de espaços externos - áreas residuais, concentração de atividades e organização espacial. Tudo isso também acarretará em uma análise de convívio social dos moradores dos conjuntos analisados e proposto

Percnobracon rugosus Martinez, sp. nov.
No full textPercnobracon rugosus Martinez, sp. nov. (Figs. 5–9) Diagnosis: Head 0.75 to 0.85 times as long as high; mesoscutum stronlgy angled in lateral view, 0.70 to 0.80 times as long as wide; notauli mostly obscured by sculpturing; propodeum rugoseareolate medially; forewing vein 2 RS at most 0.30 times as long as vein (RS+M)b; males brachypterous. Female. Body length: 1.2–2.3 mm. Colour: Dark reddish brown, base of antenna, face, mouthparts, trochantelli and tarsomeres I to IV lighter, telotarsi distinctly darker. Forewing infuscated with hyaline patterns as in figure 5, hind wing hyaline. Some specimens tend to be uniformly darker. Head: 13 to 18 antennomeres; head 0.75 to 0.85 times as long as high; face rugulose; vertex and temple strigate; oral opening small, its maximum diameter 0.60 to 1.00 times the length of malar space, eye relatively small, malar space 0.60 to 0.90 times eye height. Mesosoma: Mostly coarsely coriaceous, 0.60 to 0.70 times as high as long. Pronotum with a transverse scrobiculate groove. Anterior margin of mesoscutum strongly angled anteriorly, completely covering pronotum dorsally. Mesoscutum 0.70 to 0.80 times as long as wide(Fig. 7), with a posteromedian carina, notaulus obscured by sculpture, represented only by a few hollows anteriorly. Scutellum strongly convex and somewhat smoother than mesoscutum. Basal face of propodeum areolaterugose medially and appically (Fig. 8). Forewing with vein 2 RS at most 0.30 times as long as (RS+M)b (Fig. 5), usually much shorter, sometimes 2 RS almost indistinguishable between 3 RS and 2 M. Metasoma: Tergum I with smooth area clearly shorter than half the length of the segment, and not tapering appically (Fig. 8). Terga II and III striate, remainder of terga coriaceous basally and smooth apically. Ovipositor sheath 0.40 to 0.60 times as long as metasoma (Fig. 9). Male: Brachypterous, forewing only with veins C+SC+R, M+CU and 1 – 1 A recognisable (Fig. 6), other characters similar to female. Biology: This species has been reared from eurytomid galls on spiny stipules of Prosopis caldenia. Galls are very common in young specimens of P. c a l d e n i a, when spiny stipules are well developed; they are very rare in older and less thorny trees. Adults of this species were observed on the branches of P. caldenia during spring. Etymology: The name rugosus refers to the medially areolaterugose propodeum. Distribution: Known only from La Pampa province, Argentina. Material examined: Holotype female — ARGENTINA: La Pampa, 10 km N of Santa Rosa, 23 /XI/ 2004 (MACN). Paratypes— ARGENTINA: 1 male, same data as holotype (MACN); La Pampa, Santa Rosa: 3 females, 3 males, 2 /X/ 2004, from galls of Eurytomidae on Prosopis caldenia, Martinez (MACN, one male and one female at IFML); 1 female, 15 /VIII/ 2004, from galls of Eurytomidae on Prosopis caldenia, Martinez (MACN); 1 female, 3 males, 24 /X/ 2004, Martinez (MACN); 8 females, 2 males, 29 /X/ 2004, Martinez (MACN, one male and one female at IFML); La Pampa, Ing. Luiggi: 1 female, 1 male, 12 /XII/ 2004, Gorordo (MACN).Published as part of Martinez, Juan José, 2006, Three new species of Percnobracon Kieffer & Jörgensen (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) from Argentina, reared from cecidomyiid (Diptera) and eurytomid (Hymenoptera) galls, pp. 49-58 in Zootaxa 1282 on pages 53-55, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17343

[Chachalaca Review] - Meet Monica Muñoz Martinez | Spring 2019 Special Feature
No full textMonica Muñoz Martinez is an award-winning author, educator, public historian, and active participant in developing solutions that address racial injustice. Martinez is an Andrew Carnegie Fellow and the Stanley J. Bernstein Assistant Professor of American Studies and Ethnic Studies at Brown University. Her research specializes in histories of violence, policing on the US-Mexico border, Latinx history, women and gender studies, and public humanities. Born and raised in Texas, Martinez received her Ph.D. in American Studies from Yale University.
Her first book The Injustice Never Leaves You: Anti-Mexican Violence in Texas (Harvard University Press, Sept 2018) is a moving account of a little-known period of state-sponsored racial terror inflicted on ethnic Mexicans in the Texas–Mexico borderlands. She is currently at work on Mapping Violence a digital research project that recovers histories of racial violence in Texas between 1900 and 1930.
Martinez is a founding member of the non-profit organization Refusing to Forget that calls for public commemorations of anti-Mexican violence in Texas. The team developed an award-winning exhibit for the Bullock Texas State History Museum in 2016 that marked the first time a state cultural institution acknowledged state responsibility for this period of racial terror in the twentieth century. Martinez also helped secure four state historical markers along the US-Mexico border.https://scholarworks.utrgv.edu/utrgvmedia/1011/thumbnail.jp
