Corre Muchacha, Corre: Estructura De Clases Y Trabajo Doméstico En La Nana (2009), De Sebastián Silva, Karina Elizabeth Vázquez

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications

En los casi treinta años transcurridos desde el restablecimiento de la democracia, los países del Cono Sur han transitado por profundas transformaciones socioculturales, económicas y políticas. Algunos elementos en común han sido la aplicación y el fracaso de políticas de corte neoliberal, la reconfiguración del escenario político, la revisión del pasado dictatorial y los reajustes ideológico-culturales en el campo literario e intelectual. Esto último atañe especialmente a países como Argentina y Brasil, donde los estallidos sociales desatados por décadas de medidas económicas restrictivas condujeron a la priorización de lo social en las agendas políticas. Por el contrario, la democracia chilena …

Wheeler's Law, Dieter Gunkel Oct 2014

Wheeler's Law, Dieter Gunkel

Classical Studies Faculty Publications

“Wheeler’s Law” refers to a phonologically conditioned accent retraction process reconstructed for an early pandialectal stage of Greek by which oxytone words became paroxytone if they ended in a heavy-light-light syllable sequence (HLL), e.g. *[poi̯ kilós] > [poi̯ kílos] ‘multicolored’, *[dedegmenós] > [dedegménos] ‘awaiting, expecting’ (LHLL). Note that word-final syllables ending in a short vowel followed by one consonant (e.g. [os]) count as light for Wheeler’s Law, just as they do for the Law of Limitation. The accent retraction was originally proposed by Benjamin Ide Wheeler (1854–1927) in 1885; for further insights, analysis, and references, see Probert 2006.


La (In)Gravidez De Las Palabras: Experiencia Y Lenguaje En Flores De Un Solo Día De Anna-Kazumi Stahl, Karina Elizabeth Vázquez Oct 2014

La (In)Gravidez De Las Palabras: Experiencia Y Lenguaje En Flores De Un Solo Día De Anna-Kazumi Stahl, Karina Elizabeth Vázquez

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications

La novela Flores de un solo día (2002) ha llamado la atención de la crítica literaria académica por plasmar temáticamente el conjunto de particularidades lingüísticas de su autora. Nacida en Shreveport, al norte de Luisiana, en 1962, de madre japonesa y padre alemán-norteamericano, Anna-Kazumi Stahl eligió como patria escrituraria el español rioplatense al mudarse a Buenos Aires en 1995. Para esta escritora que habla inglés, japonés y alemán, aprender español y escribir en esta lengua ha sido enfrentarse a un "otro" que se encuentra más allá de su mando y termina por convertirse en "el mejor recurso para una …


Neviditelné Násilí. Politické Násilí V Hispanoamerické Literatuře, Claudia García, Karina Elizabeth Vázquez Oct 2014

Neviditelné Násilí. Politické Násilí V Hispanoamerické Literatuře, Claudia García, Karina Elizabeth Vázquez

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications

V období mezi lety 1950 a 1980 země v různých částech Latinské Ameriky zaznamenaly nebývale dramatický společenskopolitický vývoj, jehož důležitým mezníkem byla kubánská revoluce. Tato skutečnost se odrazila i v oblasti kultury. Na levicově orientované politické scéně vládlo přesvědčení o nevyhnutelnosti ozbrojeného boje za lepší společnost, přičemž klíčová úloha se přisuzovala cheguevarovské doktrině „nového člověka“. Tímto směrem se obraceli především ti, kteří ve své zemi chtěli svrhnout vládnoucí diktaturu a kořeny četných problémů tehdejší společnosti spatřovali především v sociální nerovnosti. Celou Latinskou Ameriku zachvátily revoluční myšlenky.


Empire's Children: Child Emigration, Welfare, And The Decline Of The British World, 1869-1967 (Book Review), Christopher Bischof Oct 2014

Empire's Children: Child Emigration, Welfare, And The Decline Of The British World, 1869-1967 (Book Review), Christopher Bischof

History Faculty Publications

Empire’s Children is far from the now well-worn tale of imperial decline. It locates the shifting fortunes of the child emigration movement at the heart of the reconfiguration of identities, political economies, and nationalisms in Britain, Canada, Australia, and Rhodesia. Though Britons eventually had to face the diminishing importance of Britishness as either a cultural or racial ideal in the eyes of even their settler colonies, on the whole the story of the child emigration movement’s shifting fortunes testifies to the malleability and resilience of Britishness.

'Fors Clavigera', The Young Women Of Whitelands College, And The Temptations Of Social History, Christopher Bischof Sep 2014

'Fors Clavigera', The Young Women Of Whitelands College, And The Temptations Of Social History, Christopher Bischof

History Faculty Publications

On the first of May each year from the 1880s onward the young women at Whitelands teacher training college in London celebrated by throwing to the wind the timetable that normally dictated how their every moment would be spent. Instead, they adorned the college in flowers, donned in white dresses, and spent the day dancing, singing, and reading poetry. The tradition of May Day helped to poke a hole in the rather dour institutional regimen of Whitelands, which opened the way for many smaller, everyday acts that gradually reworked the ethos of the college.


Phonetics Instruction Improves Learners' Perception Of L2 Sounds, Elizabeth M. Kissling Aug 2014

Phonetics Instruction Improves Learners' Perception Of L2 Sounds, Elizabeth M. Kissling

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications

Explicit phonetics instruction can help second language (L2) learners to moderately improve their pronunciation, but less is known about how the instruction affects learners’ perception, even though there is evidence that perception and pronunciation are related. This study provided phonetics instruction to students (n = 46) studying Spanish as a foreign language and measured the resulting change in their perception of eight target phones as compared with a control group (n = 41). Perception was assessed with discrimination tests immediately following instruction and three weeks later. Results indicated that the instruction conferred a small advantage in the delayed …


Political Obligation, Richard Dagger, David Lefkowitz Aug 2014

Political Obligation, Richard Dagger, David Lefkowitz

Political Science Faculty Publications

This essay begins, therefore, with a brief history of the problem of political obligation. It then turns, in Part II, to the conceptual questions raised by political obligation, such as what it means for an obligation to be political. In Part III the focus is on the skeptics, with particular attention to the self-proclaimed philosophical anarchists, who deny that political obligations exist yet do not want to abolish the state. Part IV surveys the leading contenders among the various theories of political obligation now on offer, and Part V concludes the essay with a brief consideration of recent proposals for …

Wartime Norms And Survival, Jeffrey K. Hass May 2014

Wartime Norms And Survival, Jeffrey K. Hass

Sociology and Anthropology Faculty Publications

Ленинградская блокада является одним из наиболее трагических примеров лишений, опасностей и страданий, которые обрушивает на человека военное время. Важность её изучения заключается, во-первых, в том, что блокада может пролить дополнительный свет на советскую политику, экономику и общество в целом. В какой степени советская цивилизация была укоренена в повседневных практиках, интересах и понятиях? В какой степени советские институты могли реагировать на испытания, подобные блокаде? Во-вторых, изучение блокадных реалий помогает ответить и на более общие вопросы, которые беспокоят современные науки об обществе. Как ведут себя люди в экстремальных условиях? Продолжают ли в этих условиях иметь значение прежние нормы и традиции, и какие …

The Sodomy Trial Of Nicholas Sension, 1677: Documents And Teaching Guide, Richard Godbeer, Douglas L. Winiarski Apr 2014

The Sodomy Trial Of Nicholas Sension, 1677: Documents And Teaching Guide, Richard Godbeer, Douglas L. Winiarski

Religious Studies Faculty Publications

The sodomy trial of Nicholas Sension in 1677 has long fascinated historians, in part because the surviving documentation from this particular case is exceptionally full and richly detailed, but also because it challenges long-held assumptions about attitudes toward sodomy in early America. The trial records cast light not only on the history of sexuality but also on a broad range of themes relating to seventeenth-century New England’s society and culture. Yet until now no complete edition of the documents from Sension’s trial has appeared in print. This edition is intended primarily for use in undergraduate courses. It includes a substantial …


The Peters Projection And The Latitude And Longitude Of Recolonization, Timothy Barney Apr 2014

The Peters Projection And The Latitude And Longitude Of Recolonization, Timothy Barney

Rhetoric and Communication Studies Faculty Publications

In 1973, German historian Arno Peters unveiled the “Peters projection,” a map that challenged the Eurocentric Mercator style by redrawing the so-called “Third World” to appear more prominent on the global landscape. The projection sparked intense debate among cartographers about the overt use of ideology in mapping, while simultaneously championed by international groups (from the UN to church organizations) as a corrective against the marginalization of developing nations. This essay addresses how the Peters map became a rhetorical emblem for an internationalist identity within the contentious spatial conceptions constraining the Cold War. Ultimately, the Peters projection, despite its radicalism, constituted …
