    El Semanario Marcha aparece en Montevideo el 23 de junio de 1939, y sigue editándose hasta el 22 de noviembre de 1974, cuando es clausurado definitivamente por la dictadura militar. La vocación de interpretar la información de actualidad, se resume en el primer lema de Marcha: “Toda la semana en un día". Y la adscripción a un proyecto político-ideológico en el segundo: “Navegare Necesse, Vivere Non Necesse". Marcha está en la génesis de muchas otras publicaciones contemporáneas y posteriores (algunas en forma más directa, como Crisis en Buenos Aires y Brecha en Montevideo, ya en democracia). Dice Jorge Rivera, en su libro sobre periodismo cultural: “ninguna publicación del Río de la Plata puede desconocer su marca, su estilo y su lección de rigor periodístico". Sus tapas y contratapas, la pregnancia y el sentido del logotipo y el lema, así como el poder de síntesis y creatividad de los titulares constituyen elementos en parte responsables del impacto y la incidencia que el semanario tenía en la opinión pública. Es (también) a través de esas tapas que Marcha ha quedado inscripta en la memoria colectiva, y en ellas el mito encuentra su imagen y su síntesis.

    Working PaperThis paper is a sequel to a monograph about teaching architecture and design in four ‘divided nations’ (Cyprus, Korea, Uganda, Sri Lanka) and elaborates on a subsequent teaching stint in Saudi Arabia, with a focus on using design for social change--particularly with regard to social mobility for women.Lucy Cavendish College, University of Cambridg

    40th anniversary of the Faculty of Dentistry, National University of Cuyo in the formation of the human dental resource

    La formación del recurso humano odontológico representa todo un desafío en el siglo XXI. Los avances tecnológicos, el desarrollo de nuevos materiales y técnicas de rehabilitación han influido en la pertinencia de los planes de estudio, la flexibilidad de las carreras y la necesidad de acompañar esos cambios con la velocidad con la que aparecen, para lograr un profesional que reúna las competencias básicas, clínicas y humanísticas que la odontología requiere. Por otra parte, la práctica dental es una actividad interdisciplinaria de salud, donde al menos, requiere de un equipo formado por el Odontólogo, el Asistente dental y el Protesista dental.The formation of the human dental resource represents a challenge in the 21st century. Technological advances, the development of new materials and rehabilitation techniques have influenced the relevance of curricula, the flexibility of careers and the need to accompany those changes with the speed with which they appear, to achieve a professional that brings together the basic, clinical and humanistic competencies required by dentistry. On the other hand, dental practice is an interdisciplinary health activity, where at least it requires a team formed by the dentist, dental assistant and dental prosthodontics.Fil: Di Nasso, María del Carmen Patricia.

    ‘Bloodwood’ and ‘Liminal Spaces, Timeless Places: Abjection, Liminality and Landscape in Australian Gothic Fiction’

    Get PDF
    This creative honours project comprises a work of fiction titled ‘Bloodwood’ and an accompanying exegetical essay, exploring the concept of liminal space within the Australian landscape. It investigates the anxieties and consequences of past trauma that linger within the landscape of modern Australia, exploring themes such as time, connection to nature, trauma and grief. Using Julia Kristeva’s abjection theory, particularly her ideas on liminal space, this work addresses the contentious issue of postcolonial theory within the field of literary studies, as well as the concept of grief as a liminal process. These ideas are explored through the storylines of three interwoven protagonists, as they each navigate their own altered realities following personal trauma or loss, within a shared physical landscape. Abjection, as well as other elements of the Australian Gothic literary genre, is used to convey discomfort and unease within the landscape, linking the three separate protagonists to an established site of trauma. The project also delves into ecocriticism to address ways in which the Australian landscape is viewed and represented within Australian gothic literature. This thesis was conducted using a practice-led research, research-led practice methodology combined with textual analysis of several key works within the genre of the Australian Gothic, analysed using the framework of Kristeva’s abjection theory, which in-turn influenced the writing of the creative piece ‘Bloodwood’

    First Language Taiwanese Tonal Attrition: Revisiting First Language Attrition Hypotheses and Their Relevance

    Get PDF
    Most first language (L1) attrition research focuses on syntactic and morphological deterioration in environments where L1 ‘attriters’ rarely have contact with their L1, such as immigrants. There is no study on L1 attrition in tones and in contexts where L1 can still be often heard. This study examines this attrition type in Taiwan, where the attriters cannot speak their L1 Taiwanese fluently and have become L2-Mandarin dominant after five years old. This study investigates L1 attriters’ Taiwanese tonal system by evaluating tonal attrition hypotheses based on four of the six L1 attrition proposals in the literature. The data in this study are composed of natural speech provided by 10 L1 Taiwanese attriters, 6 older L1 Taiwanese non-attriters, and 5 younger L1-Taiwanese L2-Mandarin bilinguals. The participants performed a film retell and a story-telling task. The results indicate that Taiwanese tone sandhi is so ingrained in the attriters’ phonology that the attriters are still capable of accurately performing tone sandhi (approximately 90% accurate). Although the attriters have become L2 Mandarin dominant, L2 interference is not observed. Given these findings, the L1 Taiwanese tonal attrition hypotheses referencing L2, such as the simplification hypotheses, cannot account for the attriters’ system. Rather, attrition hypotheses referencing L1 acquisition, such as the threshold hypothesis, are more successful at accounting for the attriters’ tonal system. There is still a larger question as to why the complex Taiwanese tone sandhi system is so well maintained in light of the presence of the competing dominant L2 Mandarin tonal system. Perhaps it is because the Taiwanese system is so complex. Tone sandhi interacts with the syntax, the semantics, the morphology and even the segmental phonology of the language. If the complexity was learned before the onset of massive exposure to Mandarin, then we can revise slightly the threshold hypothesis by saying complicated structures that are learned well are unlikely to attrite
