A simple spectral condition implying separability for states of bipartite quantum systems
For two qubits and for general bipartite quantum systems, we give a simple
spectral condition in terms of the ordered eigenvalues of the density matrix
which guarantees that the corresponding state is separable.Comment: 5 pages Revised 31 May 200

La configuración alegórica del espacio en William Faulkner : Absalom, Absalom!, Go Down Moses y The Sound and the Fury
El artÃculo analiza la configuración del espacio en tres novelas de William Faulkner como parte de un continuum iniciado en el perÃodo colonial: la idea del Nuevo Mundo generada por los puritanos y la adaptación de esa idea y de su manifestación retórica a las circunstancias inauguran la tópica que caracteriza a la literatura norteamericana y que Faulkner, echando mano de un imaginario autorreferencial, resignifica y enriquece con connotaciones innovadoras.This article analizes the configuration of space in three novels by William Faulkner, considered as part of a continuum initiated during the Colonial period: the idea of the New World brought by the Pilgrim Fathers and its adaptation to circumstances in a rhetoric manifestation open the way for a topic recurrent in American literature. Faulkner, by resorting to a self-referential imagery, resignifies and enriches it with innovative contributions.Fil: Raggio, Marcela.

Myth Revisited in The World Doesn’t End, by Charles Simic
Este artÃculo realiza un acercamiento al libro de poemas en prosa The World Doesn’t End, del poeta serbio-norteamericano Charles Simic. En el poemario se advierten dos rasgos fundamentales que contribuyen a configurar la visión del mundo que Simic desarrolla a lo largo de su extensa producción: por un lado, la creación de un universo de ribetes surrealistas y, por otro, una nostalgia por el pasado como tiempo perdido, recuperable solamente a través de la imaginación. The World Doesn’t End, publicado en Estados Unidos en 1990, fue traducido al español por Mario Lucarda en España, y ha llegado nuestro paÃs solamente mediante versiones de algunos de los poemas en prosa en publicaciones periódicas. Es por eso que se propone, al final del artÃculo, una breve selección de textos traducidos al español, para contribuir a la difusión de este autor que manifiesta, con su obra, una de las múltiples voces de la poesÃa norteamericana contemporánea.This article analyzes Serbian-American author Charles Simic’s prose poems in The World Doesn’t End.The book shows two traits which help transmit Simic’s view of the world: on the one hand, his surrealistic imagery and, on the other, a certain nostalgia for the past as a time that can be recovered through the imagination. The World Doesn’t End was first published in the U.S.A. In 1990, and later translated into Spanish by Mario Lucarda, in Spain. The poems in this book can be found in Argentina only partially, in some journals and magazines. That is why at the end
of this article there is a brief selection with translations of our own, in order to make Simic’s poetry accessible to Argentine readers, who will gain further insight into the multiple voices of contemporary American poetry.Fil: Raggio, Marcela.

“Guided" readings of american poetry : The new american poetry (1960) and Legitimate dangers (2006)
Este artÃculo estudia dos antologÃas de poesÃa estadounidense publicadas en su
paÃs de origen en 1960 y en 2006, respectivamente: The New American Poetry,
compilada por Donald Allen, y Legitimate Dangers: American Poets of the New
Century, por Michael Dumanis y Cate Marvin. A cincuenta años de la aparición de la primera, la crÃtica reconoce la función rupturista, renovadora y, a la vez,
seminal de la selección de Allen, quien presentaba su texto como una colección
de poetas y poemas opuestos al “verso académico". Del mismo modo, Dumanis y
Marvin presentan una antologÃa que busca difundir autores jóvenes cuya poesÃa
propone el riesgo como valor fundamental. Nuestro enfoque compara y contrasta
ambas antologÃas, para señalar los aspectos comunes, las declaraciones de
principios y las poéticas subyacentes a ambas, y los procesos de canonización que llevan a cabo.This article analyzes two anthologies of American Poetry published in 1960 and
2006, respectively: Donald Allen’s The New American Poetry, and Michael
Dumanis and Cate Marvin’s Legitimate Dangers: American Poets of the New
Century. Fifty years after Allen’s publication, critics have agreed upon its
groundbreaking, innovative, and seminal collection, which was presented as
opposed to “academic verse". Likewise, Dumanis and Marvin aim at introducing
young poets whose writing stems from the concept of risk. This paper compares
and contrasts both anthologies to detect their coincidences, statements and
implicit poetics, and the canonizing processes they favor.Fil: Raggio, Marcela.
