Sobre José María Arguedas y Vikram Chandra : no, no somos unos aculturados

Bucear en el ámbito de la literatura comparada es, ante todo, un ejercicio de libertad. Y esa sensación se vuelve más plena cuando el corpus de trabajo está formado por material intercultural. En este artículo se leen, de manera vertical y no exhaustiva, novelas de dos autores alejados tanto en el tiempo como en el espacio: Los ríos Profundos (1958), del peruano José María Arguedas, y Red Earth and Pouring Rain (1995), del indio Vikram Chandra. Los principios de comparabilidad que sustentan nuestra propuesta de análisis ahondan en el hecho de que ambos son narradores bilingües, clue viven y crean en el conflictivo intersticio entre culturas enfrentadas por complejas relaciones de poder. Los suyas son, ante todo, narrativas de resistencia cultural, de transculturación, de rechazo a las polarizaciones, de supervivencia emocional.__________________________________Delving into the field of comparative literature is, above all, an act of freedom. And this feeling becomes deeper when the work examined is intercultural. In this paper we seek to read, on a vertical axis and with no exhaustive aims, the novels of two authors, different both in time and space: Los ríos profundos (1958), by the Peruvian fosé María Arguedas, and Red Earth and Pouring Rain (1995), by the Indian Vikram Chandra. The adopted principles of comparison highlight the fact that both are bilingual writers who live and create in the conflictive zone linking cultures opposed by complex power relations. Their narratives are, above all, discourses of cultural resistance, transculturation, avoidance of polarization, emotional survival

Transculturación narrativa : posibilidades de un concepto latinoamericano para la teoría y la literatura comparada intercultural

El propósito del presente trabajo se centra en la reivindicación del concepto de "transculturación" tal y como lo formuló el pensador cubano Fernando Ortiz en el ámbito antropológico, destacando la aplicación que el crítico uruguayo Ángel Rama llevó a cabo en referencia específica a la literatura de América Latina. En el devenir del "giro cultural" que actualmente revelan numerosas disciplinas (teoría de la literatura, literatura comparada, estudios lingüísticos, estudios de comunicación, estudios sobre traducción...), la transculturación no sólo ofrece ayuda como rico marco descriptivo, sino que puede llegar a suponer un sólido cimiento teórico-crítico en el ámbito de la crítica literaria comparada.__________________________________This paper aims at highlighting the concept of transculturation, as it was posed by the Cuban thinker Fernando Ortiz, in an anthropological sphere. Narrowing its focus, the paper emphasizes particularly the Uruguayan critic Ángel Rama's application of the concept to Latin American literature. In tune with the "cultural turn" that diverse disciplines evidence nowadays, we consider that transculturation not only offers a rich descriptive frame but also provides a sound theoretical and critical basis in the field of comparative literary criticism

Traducción, género y poscolonialismo : compromiso traductológico como mediación y affidamento femenino

En este trabajo nos proponemos reflexionar sobre la interrelación entre traducción, género y poscolonialismo, en concreto sobre el compromiso traductológico que algunas traductoras desarrollan en lo referente a la traducción de literatura de mujeres del llamado Tercer Mundo. Nuestro ejemplo será la labor y la experiencia de la crítica, teórica y traductora Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak. Al tiempo, trataremos de asociar este proyecto de ética traductora con el concepto feminista de affidamento.In this paper our aim is to reflect on the interrelation between translation, gender and postcolonialism, in particular on the translation engagement that some translators develop regarding the translation of literature by women from the so-called Third Word. Our example will be the work and experience of the critic, theoretician and translator Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak. At the same time, we will try to relate this translation ethics project with the feminist concept of affidamento

Space-division multiplexing for fiber-wireless communications

We envision the application of optical Space-division Multiplexing (SDM) to the next generation fiber-wireless communications as a firm candidate to increase the end user capacity and provide adaptive radiofrequency-photonic interfaces. This approach relies on the concept of fiber-distributed signal processing, where the SDM fiber provides not only radio access distribution but also broadband microwave photonics signal processing. In particular, we present two different SDM fiber technologies: dispersion-engineered heterogeneous multicore fiber links and multicavity devices built upon the selective inscription of gratings in homogeneous multicore fibers.Comment: 4 pages, 20th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks (ICTON), Girona (Spain), 2017. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1810.1213

Monitoring temperature and vibration in a long weak grating array with short-pulse generation using a compact gain-switching laser diode module

Systematic reproduction and distribution, duplication of any material in this paper for a fee or for commercial purposes, or modifications of the content of this paper are prohibited.[EN] Quasi-distributed temperature sensing and single point vibration sensing were performed. Ultrashort pulses generated by a gain-switching laser were used to interrogate a fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) array sensor. Temperature changes were measured down to 1 degrees C with sub-centimeter spatial resolution. The advantages of our fast interrogation setup were exploited, as the higher frequency limit of a dynamic measure that can be sensed is limited by the time needed to generate the optical pulse and to acquire the data from the sensor. The experimental approach described in this paper can sense mechanical vibrations up to a frequency of 245 kHz and a strain resolution as low as 1.2 mu epsilon.H2020 Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA-ITN-ETN-722509); Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad (DIMENSION TEC2017 88029-R); Generalitat Valenciana (PROMETEO 2017/103).Sartiano, D.; Sales Maicas, S.

Spot events detection along a large scale sensor based on ultra weak FBGs using time-frequency analysis

[EN] A simple scheme for interrogating a 5 m-long photonics device and its potential applications to quasi-distributed fiber sensing is proposed. The sensor consists of an array of 500 identical very weak fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs). The gratings are 9 mm-long and have been serially written in cascade along a single optical fiber. The measurement system is based on a combination of optical time domain reflectrometry (OTDR) and frequency scanning of the interrogating pulse. The time-frequency analysis is performed by launching an optical pulse into the sensor and by retrieving and analyzing the back-reflected signal. The measurement of the temperature, length and position of spot events along the sensors is demonstrated, with good accuracy. As both spatial and temperature resolution of the method depend on the input pulse duration, the system performance can be controlled and optimized by properly choosing the temporal duration of the interrogating pulse. A spatial resolution of 9 mm (ultimately dictated by one grating length) has been obtained with an 80 ps optical pulse; while a temperature resolution of less than 0.42 K has been demonstrated using a 500 ps incident pulse. The sensor proposed proves to be simple, robust, polarization insensitive and alleviates the instrumentation complexity for distributed sensing applications.Ministerio de Educacion, Cultura y Deporte; Ministerio de Economia y Competitividad (TEC2014-60378-C2-1-R); Generalitat Valenciana (GRISOLIA/2013/034); Research Excellency Award Program (GVA PROMETEO 2013/012).Ricchiuti, AL.; Sales Maicas, S.
