Aquí Se Vende Todo: La Ciudad Y La Desmemoria En La Capital Del Olvido De Horacio Vázquez-Ria, Amalia Ran
Aquí Se Vende Todo: La Ciudad Y La Desmemoria En La Capital Del Olvido De Horacio Vázquez-Ria, Amalia Ran
Spanish Language and Literature
Aunque « memoria » sea la palabra más usada en el contexto histórico reciente de Argentina, es el olvido aquello de lo que más se habla, y lo que domina al final el discurso público de las últimas décadas. ¿ Cuáles son las distintas formas de « recordar » el pasado doloroso en un entorno que intenta silenciarlo al transformar la memoria en un objeto-fetiche ? ¿ De qué modo conserva el espacio urbano —la ciudad y sus múltiples lugares abiertos y cerrados— una memoria de la desgracia y del horror ?, y ¿ cómo se refleja ese espacio urbano …

Blogs & Glogs: Revitalizing Class Projects, Krista Bittenbender Royal
INTO Faculty and Staff Publications
This workshop looks at two technologies that can be used to energize traditional poster and writing assignments to bring them beyond text: Glogster and Blogger. Both are free, easy to use websites with which students can create web pages with images, text, and audio to share with their classmates and the world. In the workshop, intended for instructors and curriculum coordinators, we will look at each of these platforms, discuss examples of project assignment guides using each of the sites, and talk about other ways they could be integrated into courses. I will also share some student feedback and some …
Cine E Inmigración: Espacios De Inclusión Y Exclusión, Ana M. López-Aguilera
Cine E Inmigración: Espacios De Inclusión Y Exclusión, Ana M. López-Aguilera
Department of Modern Languages and Literatures: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
El tema de la inmigración representa una novedad para la sociedad española. Aunque habituada a las visitas de turistas extranjeros, la llegada de personas cuya estancia responde a motivos económicos y laborales (no ociosos) y que se prevé más prolongada, ha creado una nueva situación social. El cine ha respondido a este cambio incluyendo personajes inmigrantes en las obras y planteando en las mismas cuestiones relacionadas con el tema. Este tipo de cine se denomina “de inmigración” o “de inmigrantes” y muestra una preocupación de los directores por tratar contenidos sociales en sus obras. No obstante, existe una tendencia a …

Using Ning For Conversation Partner Networks, Krista Bittenbender Royal
Using Ning For Conversation Partner Networks, Krista Bittenbender Royal
INTO Faculty and Staff Publications
Providing opportunities for conversation practice is one way that an IEP can help students improve their English as well as enhance their engagement in the language learning process. However, matching individual language learners to fluent English speakers can be difficult and time consuming. This workshop will introduce participants involved in setting up such interactions to Ning, a free online social networking platform which can facilitate the creation of individualized networks. Participants will gain insights into how one IEP used Ning to connect ELLs to university students interested in having conversation partners.
Verbal Complex Phenomena In West Central German: Empirical Domain And Multi-Causal Account, Shannon A. Dubenion-Smith
Verbal Complex Phenomena In West Central German: Empirical Domain And Multi-Causal Account, Shannon A. Dubenion-Smith
Modern & Classical Languages
This paper is a synchronic investigation of verbal complex phenomena in the West Central German dialects. The types of verbal complexes attested in 187 recordings of West Central German from the Zwirner Corpus are first classified and analyzed. A GoldVarb analysis reveals that in subordinate clause two-verb complexes, the factor groups syntagm and verbal prefix type have statistically significant effects on word order, while in main clause two-verb complexes the factor groups syntagm, verbal prefix type, and a grammatical correlate to focus have statistically significant effects. Taking as a point of departure Lötscher 1978 and Sapp 2007, a multi-causal account …
Review Of: Auxiliary Verb Constructions, Edward J. Vajda
Review Of: Auxiliary Verb Constructions, Edward J. Vajda
Modern & Classical Languages
This monograph offers much to typologists and historical-comparative linguists alike. Although some readers may balk at including under the single rubric of auxiliary verb construction the entire range of structurally diverse types of complex predicates examined here, the results of this study thoroughly vindicate bringing them together in a single analysis.
Masculinities In Conflict: Representations Of The Other In Narrative During The Spanish Civil War, Iker González-Allende
Masculinities In Conflict: Representations Of The Other In Narrative During The Spanish Civil War, Iker González-Allende
Spanish Language and Literature
In this article, I analyze the representation of the Other in three texts that were published during the Spanish Civil War: El infierno azul (1938?), by Republican Isidro R. Mendieta, and two closely related works by Falangist Jacinto Miquelarena: Cómo fui ejecutado en Madrid (1937) and El otro mundo: La vida en las embajadas de Madrid (1938). Although these texts adhere to different political ideologies and are stylistically very divergent, they are similar in their constant criticisms of the enemy. Furthermore, both Republicans and rebels tend to depict the enemy as possessing an inadequate masculinity. He is described, on one …

Cartografías Urbanas Y Marítimas: Género Y Modernismo En Concha Méndez, Iker González-Allende
Cartografías Urbanas Y Marítimas: Género Y Modernismo En Concha Méndez, Iker González-Allende
Spanish Language and Literature
Concha Méndez encarnó la modernidad tanto en su producción literaria como en su participación cultural y trayectoria vital. Ella misma lo afirma al comienzo de sus memorias: "Yo he visto nacer todos los inventos del siglo. Nací en medio de la modernidad, del canto a los medios de transporte, a la velocidad, al vuelo" (29). Fue poeta, dramaturga, guionista de cine, editora, campeona de natación, y en todas estas actividades siempre la impulsó el deseo de aventuras y de nuevas experiencias. A través de su amistad con Federico García Lorca, Rafael Alberti y Maruja Mallo, entre otros, incursionó en los …

El Testimonio Desde El Exilio: El Compromiso Político En Las Memorias De Dolores Ibárruri Y María Martínez Sierra, Iker González-Allende
Spanish Language and Literature
En sus memorias Una mujer por caminos de España (1952), María Martinez Sierra recuerda su participación en un mitin en un pueblo de Asturias en la primavera de 1936. En aquel acto de propaganda política, además de ella, los otros dos oradores eran la socialista Matilde de la Torre y la comunista Dolores Ibárruri, Pasionaria. Martínez Sierra resalta los lazos comunes que existían entre las tres mujeres: "por encima de toda doctrina, estábamos unidas en una sola voluntad. Queríamosq ue las izquierdasg anasenl as elecciones"( 223).

Rotrou’S Bélisaire: Hierarchy And Meaning, Nina Ekstein
Rotrou’S Bélisaire: Hierarchy And Meaning, Nina Ekstein
Modern Languages and Literatures Faculty Research
Bélisaire (1643) differs significantly from the bulk of Rotrou’s theater, perhaps above all in its array of profoundly disparate features. The notion of hierarchy offers a means of organizing the dissimilar elements and understanding the play as a whole. Like so many of Rotrou’s plays, the subject is not original. Its source is Mira de Amescua’s El ejemplo mayor de la Desdicha.
Ecocriticism, The Elements, And The Ascent/Descent Into Weather In Goethe’S Faust, Heather I. Sullivan
Ecocriticism, The Elements, And The Ascent/Descent Into Weather In Goethe’S Faust, Heather I. Sullivan
Modern Languages and Literatures Faculty Research
The ostensibly religious and ethical significance of Faust's final ascension after his death tends to distract, if not blind, readers to other possible implications of that upwards movement and to the idea that he may continue and return "back to earth." The assumption that heavenly powers reward Faust leads to the claim that Goethe's tragedy validates the quest of "land developers" or those who would strive regardless of the consequences. I propose, in contrast, that we read Faust's "final" ascension alongside Goethe's weather essay, "Witterungslehre 1825," and thereby note that this upward motion is not necessarily "final" at all but …

Abundan en la comedia española del Siglo de Oro las mujeres protagonistas que no se contentan con las restricciones y limitaciones impuestas sobre ellas por la sociedad patriarcal. De Rosaura en La vida es sueño de Calderón a La monja alférez de Juan Pérez de Montalbán, es frecuentemente la mujer la que promueve la acción y determina los perfiles del drama.

Staging The Self, Staging Empowerment: An Overview Of Latina Theater And Performance, Rita Urquijo-Ruiz
Modern Languages and Literatures Faculty Research
The origins of U.S. Latina1 theater and performance can be situated in the Southwest during the time this geographical region was still under Spanish colonial domination.2 Historically, Latinas have contributed to all the creative and technical components of U.S. theater and performance from its incipiency. I begin this chapter with a brief overview starting in the twentieth century and offer an example of an early type of performance, and then I proceed to focus, primarily, on the works created since 1980, briefly analyzing three Latina plays. Anglo American theater has slowly begun to recognize and incorporate theatrical cultural …

Modern Languages and Literatures Faculty Research
The presidency of Jose Luis Zapatero Rodriguez has seen significant legisla tion in Spain that includes the legalization of same-sex marriage in 2005 and La ley de la memoria historica in 2007.1 Upon consideration of the changes in Spain during the first decade of the twenty-first century, we as critics must pause to consider how literature and film respond to the topics of homosexuality and history. Since the death of Franco in 1975, writers and directors have created a significant body of films and literature that uncovers previously prohibited topics in order to make, "the once hidden visible" (Creekmur …
U.S. Latinos’ Use Of Written Spanish: Realities And Aspirations, Laura Callahan
U.S. Latinos’ Use Of Written Spanish: Realities And Aspirations, Laura Callahan
Modern Languages & Literature
This paper reports on an investigation of writing in Spanish in the lives of U.S. Latinos. Twenty-two semi-structured interviews were conducted with informants recruited from among students and former students of high school and college Spanish courses. The interviews were transcribed and coded for concepts and emergent themes (Rubin & Rubin, 2005; Bogdan & Biklen, 1992). Some themes that emerged relate to what U.S. Latinos do with written Spanish and what they would like to be able to do; other themes include classroom experiences, extra-academic avenues of acquisition, the social position of varieties of Spanish, language maintenance, and intergenerational loss. …

This chapter outlines the main concepts in the linguistic study of American Sign Language (ASL), a language used by deaf people in the United States and a large part of Canada. While the study of languages has been around for centuries, the vast majority of research has focused on spoken languages; approaching the signs used by deaf people as full-fledged, natural languages in their own right and therefore equally worthy of linguistic study is a relatively new concept. The first documented linguistic studies of signed language in the United States were carried out in the late 1950s and early 1960s …

Secondly, we discuss the process of educational reform in the 90´s and the impact of international agencies in the main policy decisions in Argentina. In addition, we discuss the new scenario …

This article presents a study of the Collaboration Centers Project (CCP), which is a pseudonym for a three-year, federally-funded program that focused on helping in-service teachers better address the needs of English language learners (ELLs) in their classrooms. The CCP is important to study because of its clear intention to integrate real teachers--their understandings, voices, selves, and practices--into professional development by providing an experiential, collaborative and school-centered context for ongoing reflection on teachers' practice. It is important to understand the complexities of teacher development in the context of a project that sought to break with the short-term transmission model that …
