Translating Learners, Researchers, and Qualitative Approaches through Investigations of Students’ Experiences in School

This article uses the conceptual framework offered by ‘translation’ to argue for transforming students into authorities and agents in research on educational practice. Drawing on various definitions of translation and highlighting the influence of recent feminist perspectives on translation studies, the article presents two cases that illustrate how learners can be translated into co-researchers of educational experiences, researchers translated into partners with students in making meaning through the research process, and qualitative research’s approaches and modes of presenting findings translated into new versions of those processes and products

Un acercamiento teórico a la estratégica retórica femenina de Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda

This study aims to define and examine Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda’s strategic feminine rhetoric. Avellaneda wrote an extensive corpus of poetry, plays, journalistic articles and prose works, but particularly her prose works offer the best paradigm of her evolution as a writer and as a feminist. Through these narratological strategies, Avellaneda’s fictional characters are created as figures of resistance, reflecting the author’s personal conflicts as a woman divided between her own identity and the need to conform to cultural norms. The ultimate aim of this study is to investigate how Avellaneda´s literary devices and narrative strategies subvert and redefine the textual tradition from which her work evolved, and are part of an important project that painstakingly creates a place for Avellaneda at the forefront of nineteenth-century Hispanic literature and feminist thought.<br><br>Este estudio pretende definir y examinar la estratégica retórica femenina de Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda. Avellaneda escribió un corpus extenso de poesía, teatro, artículos periodísticos y obras en prosa, pero es en su prosa donde mejor podemos hallar el paradigma de su evolución como literata y como escritora feminista. A través de estas estrategias narratológicas, los personajes de ficción de Avellaneda se crean como figuras de resistencia, reflejando los conflictos personales de la autora como una mujer fragmentada entre su propia identidad y la necesidad de adherirse a las normas culturales. Finalidad última de este estudio es la de investigar cómo las estrategias narrativas y recursos literarios de Avellaneda subvierten y redefinen la tradición textual desde la que su obra ha evolucionado, y forman parte de un importante proyecto que crea un lugar para Avellaneda en la vanguardia de la literatura hispánica del siglo XIX y del pensamiento feminista

Chile's export diversification since 1960: A free market miracle or mirage?

Conventional wisdom has proclaimed Chile's recent economic development a 'free market miracle'. In an examination of Chile's export diversification experience, this article departs from that view. By analysing the dynamics underlying the emergence of the salmon, fruit, forestry and wine sectors in Chile's export basket since the 1960s, the study sheds light on the crucial role of industrial policy in the process of capability accumulation that shapes new industries. The article undertakes a qualitative historical analysis of the scope and nature of policy interventions in each of the four sectors and conducts a quantitative policy evaluation using the difference-in-difference method. It finds that public institutions are essential in overcoming market failures inhibiting the emergence of new industries. Specifically, it shows that the government has a key role to play as a catalyst of human capital accumulation, as a venture capitalist, in trade promotion, and in ensuring 'national' sector reputation through a strong regulatory and quality control role. By elaborating on the dynamic process of structural transformation and capability accumulation, this article contributes to theoretical debates on the role of vertical policies in the emergence of new competitive sectors, and debates relating to static versus dynamic approaches to comparative advantage
