Una habitaciĂłn propia: sobre premios literarios y escritoras (1944-1960)
En la década de los 50 se produce un hecho insólito en el sector editorial
español: el palmarés de los principales premios literarios se llena de nombres de
mujer, que empuñan su pluma animadas por el éxito fortuito e inesperado de una
joven desconocida llamada Carmen Laforet.
En la España de posguerra, los premios se convierten en la vĂa âcasi
exclusiva- de acceso al mundo literario, para numerosos escritores que, de otro
modo, hubieran tenido mucho mĂĄs difĂcil la entrada al mercado editorial. En
cuanto a las escritoras, la plataforma de lanzamiento que suponen los premios
para ellas es incuestionable; la mayorĂa de las novelistas españolas mĂĄs destacadas
de la segunda mitad del siglo XX han iniciado su andadura literaria de la mano de
algĂșn galardĂłn, tal es el caso de: Carmen Laforet, Ana MarĂa Matute, Carmen Kurtz,
Carmen MartĂn Gaite, Mercedes Salisachs, Soledad PuĂ©rtolas o Almudena Grandes,
por citar solo algunos ejemplos.
Los premios literarios, en ese papel de promotores de la cultura y de la
literatura que tienen durante las dos primeras décadas del franquismo, se
configuran como la habitaciĂłn propia del siglo XX necesaria para que pudiera
operarse la profesionalizaciĂłn de la mujer escritora, y adquieren una importancia
extraordinaria, sobre todo, durante los años 50, y rescatan parte del modesto
espacio conquistado por las mujeres durante el primer tercio del siglo XX (Concha
MĂ©ndez, Carmen Conde, Carmen de Burgos, Josefina de la Torre, MarĂa Zambrano,
Rosa Chacel, etcétera).
Al primer Premio Nadal (1944) se presentaron veintiséis novelas, de las
cuales resultĂł ganadora Nada de Carmen Laforet, que obtuvo un rotundo Ă©xito de
crĂtica y de pĂșblico. Este hecho, a priori irrelevante, marca un hito fundamental
dentro de la narrativa española de posguerra, en general, y de la literatura escrita
por mujeres, en particular. La rĂĄpida e inesperada fama que adquiere, la por aquel
entonces absolutamente desconocida, Carmen Laforet a raĂz de obtener el Nadal
animĂł a muchas mujeres a presentarse a los numerosos premios que van
surgiendo por estos años. El triunfo de Laforet se configura, por tanto, como
baluarte de autoestima y confianza para las mujeres que deseaban ser escritoras y
el Premio Nadal, en particular, era el tĂtulo que lo asĂ lo acreditaba.
Sin embargo, la entrada de la mujer en el campo literario no era posible sin
las pertinentes luchas internas que alteran el orden establecido, términos en los
que se expresan los propios medios de comunicaciĂłn para referirse a tal fenĂłmeno.
Los crĂticos y periodistas se hacen eco de este rĂĄpido e inusual ascenso de la mujer
en el parnaso literario, a travĂ©s de artĂculos, a veces no exentos de cierta ironĂa,
sarcasmo y burla, quizĂĄs la mejor prueba de la repercusiĂłn que alcanza.
Sin embargo, a pesar de la proliferaciĂłn de escritoras que aparecen por estos
años y a la aparente profesionalización de la mujer en el åmbito de las letras, la
imagen que se difunde y publicita âincluso por parte de las propias autorasâ
desde los medios de comunicaciĂłn es la de escritora-ĂĄngel del hogar, lo cual no
debe extrañarnos si recordamos el caråcter y los principios de la educación
nacional-catĂłlica para con la mujer, segĂșn la cual su primera y principal funciĂłn
consistĂa en ser buena hija, esposa y madre.
Como veremos, la mujer escritora asciende velozmente por la escalera de los
premios al mundo editorial durante la década del 50 que constituye el primer
escalĂłn conquistado por las escritoras que, gracias al pedestal que les ofrecen los
premios literarios, a la publicidad y a la repercusiĂłn mediĂĄtica que conllevan, son
vistas, leĂdas y vendidas. A partir de ese momento se vuelven visibles a los lectores
y a la industria editorial, adquiriendo, de este modo, existencia en el campo cultural
y literario.Universidad de MĂĄlaga. Campus de Excelencia Internacional AndalucĂa Tec
An Irregular Challenge
This paper presents different strategies in teaching a foreign language. They are based on an audiovisual methodology. On the one hand, the student feels lan- guagealive from the very beginning, and in a parallel form, s/he plays an active role in her/his learning. On the other hand, the teacher becomes a learner in an irregular way.

Significatividad de la implementaciĂłn curricular del modelo de Van Hiele
Este trabajo analiza la significatividad de la aplicacioÌn del modelo de Van Hiele en GeometriÌa de 1o de ESO. Por una parte, se aplicoÌ un cuestionario vaÌlido y fiable a 137 alumnos antes y despueÌs de estudiar la asignatura, determinando los errores al inicio del curso y los persistentes tras el estudio y constatando la inexistencia de diferencias significativas en el aprendizaje por razoÌn de geÌnero. Por otra parte, se realizoÌ un estudio cuasi-experimental del aprendizaje en dos grupos de 18 y 21 alumnos de la muestra anterior. Uno de estos grupos se seleccionoÌ como grupo experimental y utilizoÌ las unidades didaÌcticas elaboradas para la investigacioÌn, basadas en el modelo de Van Hiele. El grupo de contraste siguioÌ la metodologiÌa tradicional. Se encontraron diferencias significativas favorables al grupo experimental y se analizoÌ en detalle la correccioÌn de los errores
Social capital and knowledge in interorganizational networks: Their joint effect on innovation
This research analyzes the effects of interorganizational links on innovation using a comprehensive framework that integrates three research streams: social capital, knowledge based view and innovation. Using data from 143 R&D and/or marketing departments of innovative manufacturing and service companies, our results show that while knowledge complexity, per se, exerts a clear influence on the degree of innovations radicalness, the effect of knowledge tacitness appears only when it is combined with social capital. Similarly, the mere existence of strong cooperation agreements (relational social capital) does not guarantee more radical innovations. It is only when this social capital is combined with tacit knowledge that it really produces more innovative products. We also find that such radical products have an important impact on firm performance.: Innovation; radicalness; social capital; knowledge complexity; knowledge tacitness; firm performance
Do best and worst innovative companies differ in terms of intellectual capital, knowledge and radicalness?
This paper differentiates âbest innovative companiesâ from âworst innovative companiesâ and it takes into account three separate bodies of literatureâ intellectual capital, knowledge-based view, and innovation literatures. Based on a sample of 181 firms which belong to manufacturing and services industries, our findings show that best innovative performers companies (considering both financial and non-financial dimensions of innovation success) present systematically higher scores for all dimensions of intellectual capital: human, organizational and social capital) than worst innovation performers. Knowledge exchange and combination seems to be characteristic of most successful innovators, but no differences in systemic, tacit, complex and not observable knowledge have been found for these companies. Finally, regarding radicalness, firms with more innovation success provide new products or services that incorporates a new technology and new customer benefits (uniqueness), while firms with less innovation success laughs new products or services which are unfamiliar or difficult to understand by customers.Mobile-shopping
Review of Terms and Definitions Used in Descriptions of Running Shoes
Objective: Our study aim is to identify and describe the definitions used for different types
of running shoes. In addition, we highlight the existence of gaps in these concepts and propose
possible new approaches. Methods: This review was undertaken in line with the guidelines proposed
by Green et al., based on a literature search (until December 2019) of the PubMed, Web of Science,
Scopus, SPORTDiscus and Google Scholar databases. A total of 23 papers met the inclusion criteria
applied to identify the definition of running shoes. Results: Although there is a certain consensus on
the characteristics of minimalist footwear, it is also described by other terms, such as barefoot-style
or barefoot-simulating. Diverse terms are also used to describe other types of footwear, and in
these cases, there is little or no consensus regarding their characteristics. Conclusions: The terms
barefoot-simulated footwear, barefoot-style footwear, lightweight shoes and full minimalist shoes are
all used to describe minimalist footwear. The expressions partial minimalist, uncushioned minimalist
and transition shoes are used to describe footwear with non-consensual characteristics. Finally, labels
such as shod shoes, standard cushioned running shoes, modern shoes, neutral protective running
shoes, conventional, standardised, stability style or motion control shoes span a large group of
footwear styles presenting different properties

A Multi-Criteria Reference Point Based Approach for Assessing Regional Innovation Performance in Spain
[EN] The evaluation of regional innovation performance through composite innovation indices can serve as a valuable tool for policy-making. While discussion on the best methodology to construct composite innovation indices continues, we are interested in deepening the use of reference levels and the aggregation issue. So far, additive aggregation methods are, largely, the most widespread aggregation rule, thus allowing for full compensability among single indicators. In this paper, we present an integrated assessment methodology to evaluate regional innovation performance using the Multi-Reference Point based Weak and Strong Composite Indicator (MRP-WSCI) approach, which allows defining reference levels and different degrees of compensability. As an example of application to the Regional Innovation Scoreboard, the proposed technique is developed to measure the innovation performance of SpainÂżs regions taking into account Spanish and European reference levels. The main features of the proposed approach are: (i) absolute or relative reference levels could be previously defined by the decision maker; (ii) by establishing the reference levels, the resulting composite innovation index is an easy-to-interpret measure; and (iii) the non-compensatory strong composite indicator provides an additional layer of information for policy-making (iv) a visualization tool called Light-Diagram is proposed to track the specific strengths and weaknesses of the regions' innovation performance.This research has been partially supported by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (Project ECO2016-76567-C4-4-R), by the Regional Government of Andalucia (research group SEJ-417), and by the ERDF funds (Project UMA18-FEDERJA-065).Garcia-Bernabeu, A.; Cabello, JM.; Ruiz, F.
