    La escritora medieval, Teresa de Cartagena, representa la primera escritora castellana que nos legó dos obras completas: Arboleda de los enfermos y Admiraçión operum Dey. Los críticos que han investigado sobre Teresa todavía debaten su trayectoria intelectual y espiritual por la complejidad discursiva que manifiesta su primera obra. En este artículo se aducirán argumentos contra la corriente académica que considera a Teresa mística. El discurso de santidad de la monja, aunque parezca tener un lenguaje que se acerca a la práctica mística, presenta una ambigüedad que nace de la falta de herramientas discursivas que le amparen frente a una sociedad misógina. Por tanto, el propósito de este artículo es desarrollar y justificar lo que implica para la mujer en dicha época acceder al espacio público a través de la escritura. Desde este punto de vista puede prescindirse de la consideración de si Teresa era una mística o una santa y nos ceñiremos a su condición de mujer intelectual. Mis observaciones tendrán en cuenta la importancia de la articulación de la ansiedad masculina, definida por Mark Breitenberg, como un estado que permite construir identidades por el hecho de compartir una experiencia adversa personal. En este sentido, se entiende por dicho término la transformación interna causada por la tensión social endémica del sistema patriarcal que se expone en las obras de Teresa como síntoma de ambigüedad.The medieval writer Teresa de Cartagena was the first Castilian writer who bequeathed us two complete works: Arboleda los enfermos and Admiraçión operum Dey. Because of the complexity of her first work, critics who have researched Teresa still debate her intellectual and spiritual paths. In this article, I will dedicate a space to argue against the scholars who consider Teresa a mystic. Although Teresa used a language that appears mystic, the ambiguity of her discourse on sanctity lay in the lack of discursive tools, and that helped her cope in a misogynist society. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to develop and justify what it meant for a woman of that time to access the public space through writing. From this point of view, we can disregard the consideration of Teresa as a mystic or a saint, and focus on her circumstance as an intellectual writer. My observation will take in to account the importance of the articulation of the anxious masculinity, defined by Mark Breitenberg as a state that allows the construction of identities due to an adverse personal experience. In this sense, we understand this term as the internal transformation caused by the tension of the endemic patriarchal society displayed in Teresa's works as symptoms of ambiguity

    Application of the Entropy Method to Select Calibration Sites for Hydrological Modeling

    Get PDF
    Selecting an optimum number of calibration sites for hydrological modeling is challenging. Modelers often spend a lot of time and effort on trial and error because there is no guide. We propose a novel entropy method to automate the selection of the optimum combination of calibration sites. To illustrate, the proposed entropy method is applied using discharge data from one river basin in Korea. First, different combinations of discharge-gauging sites were grouped based on the maximum information estimated by the entropy method. Then, a hydrological model was set up for the study basin and was calibrated by estimating optimal parameters using a genetic algorithm at the discharge-gauging sites. The calibration result confirmed that the model’s performance was best when it was calibrated using the site number and combination suggested by the entropy method. In addition, the entropy method was useful in reducing the time and effort of model calibration. Therefore, we suggest and confirm the applicability of the entropy method in selecting calibration sites for hydrological modeling

    Noise Reduction Analysis of Radar Rainfall Using Chaotic Dynamics and Filtering Techniques

    The aim of this study is to evaluate the filtering techniques which can remove the noise involved in the time series. For this, Logistic series which is chaotic series and radar rainfall series are used for the evaluation of low-pass filter (LF) and Kalman filter (KF). The noise is added to Logistic series by considering noise level and the noise added series is filtered by LF and KF for the noise reduction. The analysis for the evaluation of LF and KF techniques is performed by the correlation coefficient, standard error, the attractor, and the BDS statistic from chaos theory. The analysis result for Logistic series clearly showed that KF is better tool than LF for removing the noise. Also, we used the radar rainfall series for evaluating the noise reduction capabilities of LF and KF. In this case, it was difficult to distinguish which filtering technique is better way for noise reduction when the typical statistics such as correlation coefficient and standard error were used. However, when the attractor and the BDS statistic were used for evaluating LF and KF, we could clearly identify that KF is better than LF

    La pasión y consolación teresianas: Teresa de Cartagena, mediadora del saber femenino

    El padecimiento físico representa uno de los medios de propulsión intelectual femenina para romper los límites impuestos por la sociedad misógina de la Edad Media. A través de la Arboleda se ratifica que la tendencia ideológica y teórica de teresa de Cartagena conserva fuerzas positivas hacia el sufrimiento por la discapacidad de la sordera, mientras que en la práctica no pasaba lo mismo. Por eso, con diferentes discursos religiosos y médicos se manifiestan, explícita e implícitamente, la discriminación y marginalización con que convivía la autora a partir de su discapacidad física. Al combinar las connotaciones negativas de la sordera con los preceptos de la doctrina cristiana, la monja castellana logra imponer su escritura frente a la sociedad misógina

    La pasíon y consolación teresianas: Teresa de Cartagena, mediadora del saber femenino

    Physical suffering represents one of the means to launch an intellectual feminine discourse in order to overcome the limits imposed by misogynist medieval society. The Arboleda confirms Teresa de Cartagena's ideological and theoretical tendency to view suffering as holding a positive value while in practice the same did not occur. The discrimination and marginalization the author lived with because of her physical disability are explicitly and implicitly manifested through the religious and medical discourses of the time. By combining the negative connotations of deafness with the precepts of Christian doctrine, the Castilian nun succeeds in imposing her writing against misogynist society.El padecimiento físico representa uno de los medios de propulsión intelectual femenina para romper los límites impuestos por la sociedad misógina de la Edad Media.
