Performing Militancy In Laura Alcoba’S The Rabbit House (2008), Stephanie R. Orozco
The Coastal Review
Laura Alcoba’s The Rabbit House (2008), belongs to the cannon of post- dictatorship child survivors—who themselves lived under the precarious life of militancy during Argentina’s Dictatorship (1976-1983). This paper exams the image of a young seven-year-old child’s who undergoes serious confrontational mischief's due to her inability to fully acquire militant norms and live by adult rules because of her child-like nature during her stay in la clandestindad. Moreover, rather than assuming the role of an innocent child figure of the 1970s Left-wing revolutionary war, Alcoba’s child protagonist assumes a politically active character that has the ability to perform childhood as …

A Story To Tell… How To Integrate The Three Modes Of Communication Through A Story Time Program In French, Frederique Grim
The Coastal Review
Bilingual story time programs found in local community libraries not only benefit children, they can also serve a need for L2 college students: the development of their communicative skills in an authentic environment. In addition to linguistic benefits, experiential learning has proven to prepare students for real-world skills, such as networking, mock professional experience and a sense of community engagement. This paper recounts how a world language story time program supports L2 learners’ three modes of communication, as articulated by ACTFL, and necessary for language development. Based on students’ perceptions, this study highlights their increase in motivation and confidence in …

Participants completed ameasure of overall proficiency, as well as assessments of receptive grammatical (morphosyntactic) and lexical (semantic) abilities at the beginning and end of their programs. They also reported their use of and exposure to the target language on a weekly basis while abroad. Analyses explored (a) whether learners in each group made gains in these receptive abilities, and (b) to what extent contact with the L2 and/or initial proficiency accounted for variability in linguistic development across …

El gran desafío de organizar un volumen sobre Clarice Lispector (1920-1977) reside en decir algo que ya no se haya dicho o en trazar una geografía afectiva que nos permita (re)visitar esa escritura que sigue desvelándonos a cien años de su nacimiento. Les contribuyentes de este libro se acercan a la autora desde una perspectiva más íntima, abordan aristas menos públicas y menos conocidas, y tímidamente van delineando retratos de una Clarice más cercana y menos hermética. Expandir la mirada significa entonces no solo incorporar nuevas perspectivas …

Un particular histórico firme es que fray Juan, durante el periodo de residencia en el Monasterio de la Encarnación de Ávila —de 1572 a 1577—, asiste al Capítulo de Almodóvar del Campo, diócesis de Ciudad Real, celebrado en agosto-septiembre de 1576. Con anterioridad a su encarcelamiento, pues, nuestro sujeto pasó por Torrijos y Toledo, un paso furtivo, realizado en grupo, en el que era indispensable moverse con celeridad. A la salida de «la Encarnación» aquella noche de diciembre, el santo desconocía adonde le conducían. Puede venir a colación el que Juan, en una comunicación con Ana Ma de Jesús, religiosa …

A Longitudinal Test Of Mexican Teen Mothers’ Cultural Characteristics And Children’S Language Skills Via Mothers’ Language, Arlenis A. Santana
Theses and Dissertations
The current study includes 204 Mexican teen mothers and their children from a larger study who were interviewed when children were 3 years old (Wave 4; W4), 4 years old (W5), and 5 years old (W6). The current study is guided by the integrative model of developmental competencies (García Coll et al., 1996), which suggests that parents’ adaptive cultural characteristics and exchanges with their children inform children’s developmental competencies. Thus, the current study examined whether teen mothers’ adaptive cultural characteristics (i.e., familism values, language competency pressures, and involvement in Mexican culture and U.S. mainstream culture) at W4 informed mothers’ Spanish …

Few living writers know what it means to bear the weight of an entire literary tradition, represent- ing it synecdochally to readers who lack linguistic access to its primary sources. Fewer still know what it is like to work in a language as poorly understood and as limited in its geographical and demographic reach as Euskera. In this regard, Bernardo Atxaga (the pseudonym of Joseba Irazu Garmendia) is in rare company and, although he is by no means the only author writing in the Basque language who currently enjoys a readership beyond the borders of Euskal Herria—his contemporary Ramon Saizarbitoria …

La ocupación del estado se llevó a cabo tanto en el interior como en el exterior del penal de Lecumberri, donde fueron …

Queer Memory In Translation: The Work Of Pedro Lemebel, Jordan Gerue
All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects
Abstract
Translating texts produced by marginalized communities offers readers the chance to learn about the political and social realities of the marginalized in their own words. However, in the process of creating a work that can be consumed by the target audience, it is possible to omit cultural differences in a way that hinders rather than helps readers understand the original culture. By translating representative samples of the unique “crónicas” of Chilean author and artist Pedro Lemebel with attention to queer translation praxis, readers can explore and better understand the queer urban subculture of Santiago de Chile from the 1970s …

My research attempts to build an archive of the violence that mothers and daughters faced under the Argentine "Dirty War" dictatorship of 1976-1983 with specific attention to pregnant women who visibly straddle the identity of mother and daughter. By looking to state-sanctioned resources and fictional narratives, including novels and film, I hope to better understand a lived experience of pregnant prisoners that has been historically erased, and understand how this intergenerational trauma instilled a legacy of terror through the exploitation of feminized bodies. My thesis proposes that subversive, pregnant women posed the historically rich threat of being “brujas” (witches) against …
