Contrarrestando/actuando el cuerpo político en la firmeza en la ausencia de Leonor de la Cueva

Although women protagonists in male-authored Spanish comedias were cast in pivotal roles, they remained as objects for which the male protagonists competed and contended. It has not been until recently that women playwrights have been studied by feminist critics, who have shed light on the reestablishment of the relational union of men and women. Nonetheless, while these female-authored comedias counter male authority, they often seemed to act out the part of the patriarchy.  My analysis of Leonor de la Cueva’s La firmeza en la ausencia intends to measure the impact of women’s destabilizing force as it is introduced and asserted in the play. Through the female protagonist’s constancy, Cueva’s play counters the political authority as it is represented by the male protagonists—her king, her lover, and her lover’s friend.  Moreover, in its geopolitical proximity to Cueva’s own time, the play acts out its realism, inverting the male-authored comedia’s motifs of honor, homosocial bonding, and mirror of princes. In the end, it is her body that disrupts the political and moral order, acting as both destabilizing factor and catalyst that calls the political body to order, and that is itself mirrored in the body of the text as poetic difference.A pesar del rol esencial de las mujeres en la comedia, las protagonistas han permanecido en la sombra, como objetos por los cuales competían y luchaban los hombres. Recientemente, la crítica feminista ha estudiado a las dramaturgas, iluminando el re-establecimiento en su obra del acercamiento relacional entre hombres y mujeres. Sin embargo, mientras las comedias escritas por mujeres se oponen a la autoridad masculina, parecen actuar de parte del patriarcado. Mi análisis de La firmeza en la ausencia de Leonor de la Cueva pretende medir el impacto de la fuerza desestabilizadora de la mujer tal como se introduce y se desarrolla en la obra. Es a través de la constancia de la protagonista que la obra contrarresta la autoridad política representada por los protagonistas masculinos. Su acercamiento geopolítico a la época histórica de la dramaturga acentúa su realismo, invirtiendo a la vez los temas usuales de los comediantes, como son la honra, la vinculación masculina, y el speculum principis. Al final, el cuerpo de la protagonista desvertebra el orden politico y moral al actuar como factor desestabilizador y el catalizador que re-ordena el cuerpo politico, y que, a su vez, es reflejado en el texto en su diferenciación poética

Women Writers of Early Modern Spain : A Feminist Overview

Les escriptores espanyoles de la primera edat moderna no han rebut l'atenció que calia, en gran part per la manca de documentació. Els esforços recents d'investigadors feministes, però, han trobat més escriptores de les que es coneixien anteriorment. Aquests investigadors s'han dedicat a l'estudi del seu context històric, com ara l'educació i el nivell social. Cal distingir la producció cultural femenívola d'aquella que prové de religioses o seglars, i també de les elits o no-elits, encara que totes van contribuir als gèneres literaris de poesia, novel·les, contes curts o obres de teatre. Les escriptores també es van dedicar a escriure, a més, els anomenats egodocuments, com ara autobiografies, històries fundacionals de convents o epistolaris, a més de participar en acadèmies literàries i justes poètiques. Tanmateix, el més significatiu en aquest cas és que a través dels seus escrits van crear i van participar en el que podrien anomenar-se comunitats lletrades de dones

Threshold Concepts Vs. Tricky Topics - Exploring the Causes of Student's Misunderstandings with the Problem Distiller Tool

This paper presents a study developed within the international project JuxtaLearn. This project aims to improve student understanding of threshold concepts by promoting student curiosity and creativity through video creation. The math concept of 'Division', widely referred in the literature as problematic for students, was recognised as a 'Tricky Topic' by teachers with the support of the Tricky Topic Tool and the Problem Distiller tool, two apps developed under the JuxtaLearn project. The methodology was based on qualitative data collected through Think Aloud protocol from a group of teachers of a public Elementary school as they used these tools. Results show that the Problem Distiller tool fostered the teachers to reflect more deeply on the causes of the students’ misunderstandings of that complex math concept. This process enabled them to develop appropriate strategies to help the students overcome these misunderstandings. The results also suggest that the stumbling blocks associated to the Tricky Topic ‘Division’ are similar to the difficulties reported in the literature describing Threshold Concepts. This conclusion is the key issue discussed in this paper and a contribution to the state of the art

The effect of early child care attendance on childhood asthma and wheezing: A meta-analysis.

ObjectiveResearch evidence offers mixed results regarding the relationship between early child care attendance and childhood asthma and wheezing. A meta-analysis was conducted to synthesize the current research evidence of the association between early child care attendance and the risk of childhood asthma and wheezing.MethodPeer reviewed studies published from 1964-January 2017 were identified in MEDLINE, CINAL, and EMBASE using MeSH headings relevant to child care and asthma. Two investigators independently reviewed the selected articles from this search. All relevant articles that met our inclusion criteria were selected for further analysis. Data were extracted from studies that had sufficient data to analyze the odds of asthma or wheezing among children who attended child care.ResultsThe meta-analysis of 32 studies found that (1) early child care attendance is protective against asthma in children 3-5 years of age but not for children with asthma 6 years of age or older. (2) Early child care attendance increases the risk of wheezing among children 2 years of age or younger, but not the risk of wheezing for children over 2 years of age.ConclusionsThis meta-analysis shows that early child care attendance is not significantly associated with the risk of asthma or wheeze in children 6 years of age or older

The Relationship Between Housing Conditions and Chronic Mild Stress in Rats

Despite the proven success of the Chronic Mild Stress (CMS) model in measuring anhedonia behaviors in rats, housing conditions could alter the effects of stressors. In our original analysis, group-housing revealed no significant difference between the stress and control subjects. As a result, this follow-up study aims to replicate the initial study using single-housing conditions instead to examine the differences between grouped and single-housed rats while measuring the effects of stress with housing as an influencing variable on our stress measures

The impact of stereotypes in companies

Los Trionfi en España: la poética petrarquista, la teoría de la traducción y la lengua vernácula en el siglo XVI

The sixteenth-century translations of Petrarch’s Trionfi into Castilian offer a means of gauging the changing attitudes toward Petrarch’s poetics, translation and the vernacular language. Despite their cancionero style, the first translations of the Trionfi by Antonio de Obregón in 1512 and of the Trionfo d’amore by Alvar Gómez confirm the receptivity of Spanish culture to the development of Spanish Renaissance poetics, yet demonstrate the difficulties of translating ad sensum into a different poetic from. Bases on the apparently contradictory double purpose of the humanist translator as fidus and interpret, Hermando de Hozes’s 1554 translation in Italianate terse Rina rhyme scheme successfully appropriates the Petrarchan lyric, conveying the sense of the original while proclaiming the autonomy ambition primacy of the Castilian vernacular.Les traductions des Trionfi de Pétrarque au castillan faites au XVIe siècle offrent un moyen d’évaluer l’évolution des attitudes envers la poétique pétrarquiste, la traduction et la langue vernaculaire. Malgré leur style chansonnière, les prémieres traductions des Trionfi par Antonio de Obregón en 1512 et du Trionfo d'amore par Alvar Gómez confirment la receptivité de la culture espagnòle au développement de la poétique espagnole de la Renais­sance et cependant démontrent les difficultés de la traduction ad sensum dans une forme poétique differente. Basée sur le double propos, apparemment contradictoire, du traducteur humaniste comme fidus et interpres faite en 1554 par Hernando de Hozes en schéma italianizant de la terza rima s’approprie avec succès les rimes de Pétrarque en trasmettant le sense de l'original tout en affirmant l'autonomie et primauté du vernaculaire castillan
