Aerobic Degradation Of Α-, Β-, Γ-Hexachlorocyclohexane By Narragansett Bay Bacterioplankton, Ian M. Rambo
Senior Honors Projects
Hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs) are a family of chlorinated organic compounds that were previously used as agricultural insecticides. HCHs are recognized as persistent organic pollutants due to their toxicity, recalcitrant properties, and tendency to bioaccumulate in food webs. Although HCH was first synthesized in 1825, its use was not widespread until the discovery of the insecticidal activity of the γ-HCH isomer in 1942. γ-HCH and its toxic waste isomers α-HCH and β-HCH were banned from production and use by the United Nations in 2009, yet these chemicals still present environmental problems due to their persistence in soils and surface waters. HCHs continue ...

Almodóvar Y El Cómic Underground Español: Pepi, Luci, Bom Y Otras Chicas Del Montón, Ramiro Garcia-Olano
Entrehojas: Revista de Estudios Hispánicos
En este trabajo analizo el film de Pedro Almodóvar, Pepi, Luci, Bom y otras chicas del montón (1980) en relación al cómic underground español surgido a principios de los años 70 y que hizo eclosión en la primera mitad de la década del 80 del pasado siglo. Mi principal objetivo es ilustrar la influencia que este fenómeno cultural tuvo en las primeras películas de Almodóvar.

La Enseñanza De La Gramática: Un Debate Pendiente En El Contexto De La Educación Argentina, María Cecilia Gaiser
Entrehojas: Revista de Estudios Hispánicos
Resumen
En la primera mitad del siglo XX, la enseñanza de la gramática tradicional no se cuestiona y su límite oracional no es un eje de discusión puesto que todavía las líneas de orientación textual estaban en ciernes. Entre los 60 y 70 el estructuralismo eclipsa los estudios del lenguaje y sus herramientas de análisis gramatical ingresan en las aulas. Es en los últimos 20 años cuando aparecen las dos líneas que direccionarán el destino de la gramática en la escuela: no dar gramática o reemplazar la gramática oracional por una lingüística/gramática textual y/o análisis del discurso. En ...

Heritage Language Learners And Automaticity: The Use Of "Por" And "Para", Valerie J. Trujillo
Entrehojas: Revista de Estudios Hispánicos
The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of the Spanish prepositions por and para (P&P) by heritage-language (HL) learners to analyze whether they demonstrate automaticity in their application, as is common with L1 Spanish speakers (i.e. “it just sounds right”), or if they rely on the conscious, declarative knowledge of the prescriptive uses of these prepositions, as is common with speakers for whom Spanish is an L2. Upper and lower HL learners and upper and lower FL learners (non-HL learners) were asked to complete a cloze test and a grammaticality judgment task and were asked ...

Masculinización Y Virilización De La Escritura De La Mujer De Vanguardia: El Caso De Estación. Ida Y Vuelta Y El Personaje Presentido, Eva Paris-Huesca
Entrehojas: Revista de Estudios Hispánicos
El presente trabajo examina los diferentes procesos por los que la escritora española se enfrenta al mundo masculino del periodo de las vanguardias y cómo lucha por formar parte del movimiento literario de vanguardias. En primer lugar, analizo la figura de Rosa Chacel, una de las pocas escritoras consideradas por el canon literario masculino de la época, y su novela Estación. Ida y Vuelta (1930). Seguidamente, estudio el caso de Concha Méndez, una de las figuras más olvidadas de todas las modernas, y su obra teatral El personaje presentido (1931). La elección de estas dos obras remite al hecho de ...

El Santo Ateo: Parodia Religiosa En Tantas Veces Pedro, Theresa Warner
Entrehojas: Revista de Estudios Hispánicos
En su novela Tantas veces Pedro, el autor peruano Alfredo Bryce Echenique utiliza las herramientas de la metaficción para hacer una parodia del género hagiográfico y de la Biblia, así burlándose de la religión católica. Para probar esta tesis, este trabajo combina las teorías de metaficción y parodia establecidas por la teórica Linda Hutcheon con el concepto de una hagiografía o “vida de santo”. Además de esta combinación, se explora la historia de la literatura peruana, en particular su larga tradición hagiográfica. Al juntar estas ideas, se puede ver cómo la obra de Bryce Echenique es una parodia humorística de ...

Espacios Geográficos E Ideológicos En La Novela Cubana De La Postrevolución: La Zona Intermedia De Prisionero Del Agua De Alexis Díaz Pimienta, Lizandro Arbolay Alfonso
Entrehojas: Revista de Estudios Hispánicos
Partiendo de un breve repaso espacial de la producción novelística cubana posterior a 1959, este ensayo analiza el tratamiento dicotómico de las grandes urbes como marcos de creación y recreación literaria enfatizando las representaciones de La Habana y Miami como ciudades-símbolos, y el auge de una corriente novelística intermedia tipificada en la novela Prisionero del agua de Alexis Díaz Pimienta.
After reviewing the treatment of space in the Cuban novels written after 1959, this paper examines the dichotomous representation of two cities, Havana and Miami, as ideological symbols and the rise of a transitional novelistic movement with Prisionero del agua ...

20th Century Trends In The Rhythmic Interpretation Of The Cantigas De Santa Maria (Honors), Chelsey Belt
Papers
The musical notation of the Cantigas de Santa Maria has been a nebulous issue for the majority of the 20th century. This paper discusses recent trends in the rhythmic interpretation of the Cantigas manuscripts, from the theories of the early 20th century scholars through the varied approaches taken by later 20th century early music ensembles in performance.

Concept-Based Teaching And Spanish Modality In Heritage Language Learners: A Vygotskyan Approach, Elena Guillermina Garcia Frazier
Open Access Dissertations
This study analyzed how six Heritage language learners at the university level gained conscious awareness and control of the concept of modality as revealed in student verbalizations (Vygotsky, 1998) throughout five different written communicative events. This work took place in the only course designed for Heritage language learners at a large public suburban university in the Northeast part of the United States.
Grammatical simplification in bilingual speakers is due to incomplete acquisition of Spanish, attrition or loss of an underused linguistic system (Lynch, 1999; Martínez Mira, 2009a, 2009b; Mikulski, 2010b; Montrul, 2007; Ocampo, 1990; Silva-Corvalán, 1990, 1994a, 1994b, 2003; Studerus ...

Towards A Posthumanist Reenchantment: Poetry, Science And New Technologies, Marta Del Pozo Ortea
Open Access Dissertations
This interdisciplinary study analyzes the work of two contemporary writers in Peninsular Spanish literature, Agustín Fernández Mallo and Javier Moreno, using the the posthumanist stance that considers the epistemological and ontological continuum and inseparability of contemporary cultural practices. This thesis delves into the interrelationship of their respective work with three main aspects of the 21st century reality: the omnipresent world of images in our culture, the scientific paradigm and the use of new technologies. The study of their work has led me to propose the birth of a new literature that 1. articulates the “pictorial turn” by recognizing how the ...
