Chapter 5 Writing for the Stage

Baroque Lorca: An Arcaist Playwright for the New Stage defines Federico García Lorca’s trajectory in the theater as a lifelong search for an audience. It studies a wide range of dramatic writings that Lorca created for the theater, in direct response to the conditions of his contemporary industry, and situates the theory and praxis of his theatrical reform in dialogue with other modernist renovators of the stage. This book makes special emphasis on how Lorca engaged with the tradition of Spanish Baroque, in particular with Cervantes and Calderón, to break away from the conventions of the illusionist stage. The five chapters of the book analyze Lorca’s different attempts to change the dynamics of the Spanish stage from 1920 to his assassination in 1936: His initial incursions in the arenas of symbolist and historical drama (The Butterfly’s Evil Spell, Mariana Pineda); his interest in puppetry (The Billy-Club Puppets and In the Frame of Don Cristóbal) and the two ‘human’ farces The Shoemaker’s Prodigious Wife and The Love of Don Perlimplín and Belisa in the Garden; the central piece in his project of ‘impossible’ theater (The Public); his most explicitly political play, one that takes the violence to the spectators’ seats (The Dream of Life); and his three plays adopting, an altering, the contemporary formula of ‘rural drama’ (Blood Wedding, Yerma and The House of Bernarda Alba)

A Personal History of the «American Hour» of Comparative Literature: Claudio Guillén in Conversation with Harry Levin

In this essay I examine the unpublished correspondence between Harry Levin and Claudio Guillén from 1956 to 1992. I also review Guillén’s proposal for the Ph. D. Degree in Comparative Literature at UC San Diego, a 21-page document he submitted in 1968, three years after the first ACLA report, also known as the Levin report. In the first section of this essay I argue that their letters evidence the existence of diverging views, as early as the mid-1960s, on the nature of a discipline that had been recently institutionalized in the United States. I then look at how Guillén’s relationship to Levin changed significantly after Guillén abandoned Harvard to work in the Spanish public university system in the mid-1980s. In the third and final section I examine Guillén’s prologue to the second edition of Entre lo uno y lo diverso (2005), in which he described his Spanish experience as a failed attempt to spread comp lit in his country. This prologue was published only two years before Guillén passed away in 2007.En el presente ensayo analizo la correspondencia inédita entre Harry Levin y Claudio Guillén entre 1956 y 1992. También estudio el programa doctoral en Literatura Comparada que Guillén diseñó para UC San Diego, un documento de 21 páginas entregado a la universidad en 1968, tres años después del primer informe de la ACLA, también conocido como el informe Levin. La primera sección del ensayo muestra cómo sus cartas se hacen eco, ya a mitad de la década de los sesenta, de la existencia de ideas muy diferentes sobre qué debería ser la literatura comparada, disciplina que acababa de ser institucionalizada en los Estados Unidos. A continuación examino la manera en la que la relación entre Guillén y Levin cambió después de que Guillén abandonara su puesto en Harvard para trabajar en la universidad pública española en los ochenta. En la tercera y última sección analizo el prólogo de Guillén a la segunda edición de Entre lo uno y lo diverso (2005), en el que describe su experiencia en España como un fallido intento para popularizar la literatura comparada en su país. Este prólogo apareció sólo dos años antes de que Guillén falleciera en 2007

Grupalidad en contextos de encierro

El objetivo del presente trabajo es reflexionar sobre la práctica con grupos de internos que se realizó en una unidad penitencia bonaerense entre los años 2010-2011 en el marco del Programa Provincial de Prevención de la Violencia en Cárceles implementado por la Subsecretaría de Política Criminal e Investigaciones Judiciales, dependiente del Ministerio de Justicia y Seguridad de la provincia de Buenos Aires. El programa se asienta sobre la base de que el Estado debe garantizar espacios de escucha y reflexión para los internos, sujetos privados de su libertad y objeto de prácticas punitivo-represivas de diversa índole. Se prevé en una segunda instancia, extender el abordaje a familiares de internos y personal penitenciario de acuerdo a la voluntariedad de la población. Se establecen equipos interdisciplinarios de abordaje psico-social conformados por profesionales de las Ciencias Sociales idóneos en los aspectos psicosociales de la comunidad y específicamente en la dinámica de grupos.Eje temático: Psicología jurídico-forenseFacultad de Psicologí

Dielectric Strength of Nanofluid-Impregnated Transformer Solid Insulation

The interest in developing new fluids that can be used as dielectric liquids for transformers has driven the research on dielectric nanofluids in the last years. A number of authors have reported promising results on the electrical and thermal properties of dielectric nanofluids. Less attention has been paid to the interaction of these fluids with the cellulose materials that constitute the solid insulation of the transformers. In the present study, the dielectric strength of cellulose insulation is investigated, comparing its behavior when it is impregnated with transformer mineral oil and when it is impregnated with a dielectric nanofluid. The study includes the analysis of the AC breakdown voltage and the impulse breakdown voltage of the samples. Large improvements were observed on the AC breakdown voltages of the specimens impregnated with nanofluids, while the enhancements were lower in the case of the impulse tests. The reasons for the increase in AC breakdown voltage were investigated, considering the dielectric properties of the nanofluids used to impregnate the samples of cellulose. The analysis was completed with a finite element study that revealed the effect of the nanoparticles on the electric field distribution within the test cell, and its role in the observed enhancement.This work was supported by the Spanish State Research Agency under grant PID2019- 107126RB-C21/ AEI/10.13039/501100011033 and by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness under grant DPI2015-71219-C2-2-
