Extractivismo Y Resistencias En El Cine Minero Latinoamericano Del Siglo Xx: Hacia Una Definición Crítica, Fernando Martínez Caleano

Intersecciones Hispánicas: Revista de Cultura, Literatura y Lingüística

Este artículo propone una definición y delimitación crítica del cine minero latinoamericano como un campo de estudio específico, distinto pero en diálogo con el ecocine. A lo largo del siglo XX, diversas producciones cinematográficas latinoamericanas abordaron la actividad minera como una práctica extractiva con profundas implicaciones sociales, políticas, económicas y ambientales. El artículo analiza cómo estas películas documentan el despojo territorial, la explotación laboral, el activismo femenino, la violencia estatal y las formas de resistencia comunitaria en entornos mineros, especialmente en contextos de agitación social y dictaduras. Se revisan películas clave del cine minero del siglo XX como Salt of …

México Sin Fronteras. Teoría Fronteriza Y Lo Irrepresentable De Los Límites Cartográficos, Rob Lassche

Intersecciones Hispánicas: Revista de Cultura, Literatura y Lingüística

Ante una renovada atención en los asuntos acerca de la frontera en la política actual, como un viejo debate en la crítica chicana/latinoamericana sobre los límites geográfico-culturales de América Latina, este ensayo presenta una breve revisión teórica de algunas de las distintas conceptualizaciones que se han dado en esa área a lo largo del último medio siglo. Al atravesar las perspectivas de Américo Paredes y Gloria Anzaldúa, considero que, antes de la popularización de conceptos como el transnacionalismo o el posnacionalismo, se pueden identificar dos vertientes principales en el acercamiento a la presencia mexicana en territorio estadounidense; por un lado, …

Filiación De Período De La Celestina. Un Análisis Temático Cuantitativo, Rubria Rocha De Luna

Intersecciones Hispánicas: Revista de Cultura, Literatura y Lingüística

Este artículo tiene como propósito utilizar una metodología cuantitativa de las Humanidades Digitales como un acercamiento diferente al estudio de la filiación de período de La Celestina. Hasta el momento, autores como Claudia Raposo, P.E. Russell, Rosa Navarro y Yolanda Iglesias, han comparado a La Celestina con textos de la Edad Media y han encontrado paralelos entre ambos. Por otro lado, teóricos como D.W. McPheeters, Michael Gerli, Ranka Minic-Vidovic, Laura Puerto y Emma Gatland, por nombrar algunos, encuentran características de género y temática de la obra que la podrían ubicar más cercana al período renacentista. Y otros autores como Ivy …

Colonialidade E Linguística: Uma Perspectiva Em A Febre, Jaciele Souza

Intersecciones Hispánicas: Revista de Cultura, Literatura y Lingüística

This study aims to examine the presence of coloniality in the film The Fever (A Febre), directed by Maya Da-Rin, while also addressing linguistic aspects, particularly the interplay between the indigenous Tukano language and Portuguese throughout the narrative. It further explores the relationship between language, identity, and culture. The analysis is grounded in the theoretical frameworks of Carey-Webb (2024), Quijano (2007), Kaká Werá (1998), Othero (2017), Karnal (2024), Bourdieu (1991), and Maher (2010). The results show how the effects of colonization continue to impact Indigenous communities and how forced bilingualism reflects the mechanisms of structural racism. Additionally, the use of …

Las Voladoras: Cuerpos Monstruosos Y Bestialidad Femenina En Mónica Ojeda, Susan Carolina Peñuela Rodríguez

Intersecciones Hispánicas: Revista de Cultura, Literatura y Lingüística

Este ensayo aborda el libro de cuentos de la escritora ecuatoriana Mónica Ojeda, quien, en sus escritos, relata con fantasía, inmersión onírica y mitos los procesos histórico-sociales del Ecuador contemporáneo. Se analizarán dos cuentos del texto: Las voladoras (2020), debido a su contenido fantástico; y Sangre Coagulada, por su uso de animales en diferentes contextos cotidianos. Asimismo, cada uno de los cuentos destaca con literacidad y relevancia social, los temores, rechazos, violencia de género y machismo que aún hoy en día se viven en Ecuador y muchas zonas de América Latina.

This essay approaches the book of stories by the …

Del Realismo Capitalista Al Capitalismo Gore En La Narrativa Mexicana Contemporánea, Juan Manuel Acevedo Carvajal, Pedro García Cortes, Alma Alejandra Montiel Meza

Intersecciones Hispánicas: Revista de Cultura, Literatura y Lingüística

El presente artículo está atravesado por la exacerbación de las acciones del capitalismo, el narcotráfico, la violencia y el necropoder, acciones que derivan sobre todo en el abuso predatorio sobre los cuerpos que son comerciados como mercancías. Las narraciones que demarcan este terreno de operaciones fronterizas son: Señales que precederán al fin del mundo (2009), de Yuri Herrera, y Las tierras arrasadas (2015), de Emiliano Monge. En cada una de estas novelas hay un zumbido espectral y atronador en el que los cuerpos son desplazados de un lugar a otro, al tiempo que las estructuras legales son reemplazadas por las …

“El Hijo Del Vampiro”: Crítica A La Tradición Y Al Sistema Patriarcal, Arely Orozco Ramirez

Intersecciones Hispánicas: Revista de Cultura, Literatura y Lingüística

“El hijo del vampiro” de Julio Cortázar es una obra gótica que enmarca y destaca las características del vampiro clásico dentro de la literatura. A través del cuento, Cortázar crítica al sistema patriarcal mediante personajes como Duggu Van, símbolo del patriarcado, el cual abusa sexualmente de Lady Vanda. La violencia física, sistemática y simbólica son ejecutadas por dicho personaje a lo largo del cuento. La historia refleja cómo los roles de género tradicionales perpetúan la misoginia, y cómo esta es heredada en el hijo vampírico, fruto de la violación entre Duggu Van hacia Lady Vanda.

Julio Cortázar's "Son of the …

Lo Femenino Más Allá De Lo Materno. Vínculos Y Rupturas En Animales Domésticos (2003) De Marta Sanz, Alessia De Filippis

Intersecciones Hispánicas: Revista de Cultura, Literatura y Lingüística

El presente artículo se dedica a indagar las ambivalencias de la experiencia maternal y el deterioro de las relaciones maternofiliales a partir del retrato crudo e incómodo que Sanz ofrece en las páginas de Animales domésticos (2003). Como es notorio, el papel de la madre abnegada y cuidadosa es el que tradicionalmente se ha asignado a las mujeres. Se presupone que el instinto materno emerge de manera natural y se espera que la experiencia de la maternidad constituye una fuente de gratificación incondicional, excluyendo toda posibilidad de ambivalencia emocional. En consecuencia, se alimenta una visión colectiva de la maternidad evidentemente …

El Forastero Y El Culto: H.P. Lovecraft In The Work Of Mariana Enríquez, Griffin Carty

Intersecciones Hispánicas: Revista de Cultura, Literatura y Lingüística

Este artículo examina dos cuentos de Mariana Enríquez: “Bajo el agua negra” y “Las cosas que perdimos en el fuego”, y sus conexiones a dos cuentos de H.P. Lovecraft: “Shadow over Innsmouth” y “The Thing on the Doorstep”. Este ensayo argumenta que Enríquez usa los tropos lovecraftianos deliberadamente para expresar sus ansiedades modernas sobre el extractivismo, clasismo, y violencia del género, en contraste directa de las ansiedades de Lovecraft sobre la integración racial y el miedo del Otro étnico, económico, y femenino. La primera comparación es la del horror del género de “Las cosas que perdimos en el fuego”, que …

When Justice Fails: Female Vengeance And Indigenous Memory In Jayro Bustamante’S Film La Llorona (2019), Isabel Ibáñez De La Calle

Intersecciones Hispánicas: Revista de Cultura, Literatura y Lingüística

Jayro Bustamante’s film La Llorona (2019) reimagines the Latin American myth of the weeping woman to expose the failures of state justice and propose a feminist, decolonial alternative rooted in Indigenous memory and spiritual retribution. The film follows retired general Enrique Monteverde, modeled after Guatemalan dictator Efraín Ríos Montt, as he is tried for genocide against the Maya Ixil people. While the courtroom scenes depict a moment of accountability, they ultimately reveal how legal institutions remain complicit in protecting power. In contrast, the arrival of Alma—an Indigenous domestic worker who embodies La Llorona—introduces a supernatural force that intervenes when the …

Toward Professionalization: Insights From Sign Language Interpreters In Vietnam, Anh P. Doan

Journal of Interpretation

This study examines how sign language interpreters in Vietnam perceive the professionalization of their field and the strategies they propose for establishing it as a recognized profession. Despite growing demand for communication access, sign language interpreting in Vietnam remains an emerging field with limited institutional infrastructure and no formal interpreter education programs. Data were collected through an online qualitative survey of 28 hearing interpreters working in sign language interpreting across Vietnam. Responses were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify key themes in interpreters’ experiences and perspectives. Findings show that many interpreters enter the field through informal pathways such as community …

Sign Language Interpreting In Legal Settings: A Survey Of The Field, Lynsey H. Lawrence, Lori Whynot

Journal of Interpretation

This study is the first to investigate the prevalence and variety of legal contexts where ASL-English interpreters work in the United States. Effective interpreting service ensures that deaf individuals’ civic and constitutional rights are protected when they engage in the U.S. legal system. It sought to understand the current landscape of legal interpreting practice by ASL-English interpreters to better inform professional training and allocation of resources. There is a severe, national shortage of legally qualified sign language interpreters and a need for regular educational pathways and professional development to train generalist interpreters in specialized legal settings. An online survey was …

Lights, Camera… Interpretation: Navigating The Challenges Of Irish Sign Language Interpreting In Broadcast Settings, Kristina Cregan, Sarah Sheridan

Journal of Interpretation

Sign language interpreters working in broadcasted settings face added pressures due to its public nature. This research sets out to explore what the effects of being video recorded during assignments are on interpreters, and to examine how interpreters adapt to the challenges of broadcast assignments. To achieve this, an anonymous questionnaire was sent to Irish Sign Language (ISL) interpreters who have experience working in broadcasted environments or being video recorded for public contexts. The questionnaire used a combination of open and closed questions to discover what the challenges are for these environments and how interpreters cope. A thematic analysis was …

The Problem With People: Signed Language Interpreter Disposition Match And Attrition, Dawn M. Wessling

Journal of Interpretation

In the United States, communication access is a legislated right for Deaf people in many settings; however, recent data suggest that the number of signed language interpreters does not meet current service demand. This multiple‑case study contributes to understanding interpreter attrition by examining how disposition mismatches between novice interpreters and more experienced co‑interpreters influence early exit from the field. Attrition among novice interpreters may exacerbate demand–supply imbalances and contribute to persistent shortages in interpreting services.

This study draws on applied and organizational psychology frameworks, specifically attraction, selection, and attrition (ASA) theory and person–organization fit (P–O fit). Using these theoretical lenses, …

The Reclamation, Peter Njagi Mwangi, Charles E. Becknell Jr

Journal of Multicultural Affairs

This poem stages a classroom conversation about language, knowledge, and the study of Black history and thought. Through dialogue between a professor and a student, the conversation reflects on a central question within Africana Studies: why are indigenous African languages rarely included in how the field teaches, writes, and shares knowledge? While colonial languages such as English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese function as practical tools in the modern university, the poem raises the question of what may be missing when African languages remain largely absent. Drawing on ideas like Ubuntu and Sankofa, the poem imagines Africana Studies as a living …

Teachers’ Awareness Of Family Engagement In Multilingual Education, Sedighe Zamani Roodsari

Journal of Multicultural Affairs

This study investigated public school teachers’ awareness of family engagement as a linguistic and cultural resource for multilingual students. Multilinguals are typically described as individuals who can communicate in more than one language, with English not being their native language, and their linguistic choices are influenced by societal norms and systems (Šifrar Kalan et al., 2024; Wei, 2008). Preparing pre-service teachers to enhance opportunities for multilingual students remains a critical need in teacher education programs, as they strive to move beyond monolingual ideologies in their teaching practices (Cárdenas Curiel et al., 2024; Kim & Choi, 2020; Williams & Ewing, 2019). …

Yardie Epistemologies: Queer Survival, Respectability, And Political Economy In Contemporary Jamaica, Nicole Hylton

Theses - ALL

This thesis examines how queer Jamaicans navigate, survive, and theorize life within a social order structured by colonial legacies, racialized class hierarchy, nationalist masculinity, Christian moral authority, and neoliberal austerity. Drawing on qualitative, narrative-centered research conducted between 2012 and 2014, with consistent return visits in subsequent years, the study employs grounded theory, critical ethnography, and Black feminist political economy to analyze how sexual citizenship is unevenly distributed across lines of color, class, gender expression, and access to resources. Participants include LGBTQ individuals, activists, academics, state actors, and community members whose narratives are treated not as illustrative data but as sites …

How Esl/Efl Textbooks Are Created: A Description Of The Publishing Processes For Elt Coursebooks, Timothy P. Arnold

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to describe the current ELT textbook publishing processes and evaluate a descriptive model of the publishing processes. While criticisms of ELT textbooks abound (Akbari, 2008; Bell & Gower, 2011; Jordan & Gray, 2019; Tomlinson & Masuhara, 2008; Long, 2016; etc.), little previous research has focused on describing the ELT textbook publishing. This is despite most criticisms appearing to focus on aspects of ELT textbooks that come about during the publishing processes. The work of Littlejohn (1992), McGrath (2013), and Yildiz and Harwood (2023) are exceptions to this. To provide additional descriptive information on the …

Neural Processing Of Japanese And Korean Phonological Items In Romanized Versus Native Writing Systems, Kyle Thayne Chipman

Theses and Dissertations

Romanization is a common, yet sometimes controversial, tool used to make Korean and Japanese more accessible to beginning learners, but its effects on orthographic processing and phoneme discrimination ability are not well understood. The participants consisted of 34 university students (21 female, 13 male; mean age = 20.97) enrolled in 100- and 200-level Korean and Japanese courses at Brigham Young University. Using a quasi-experimental, counterbalanced design, participants completed phonological judgement tasks in three orthographies per language while accuracy, reaction time, and cortical activation were measured using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS); post-task surveys contextualized learner responses. Orthography significantly affected accuracy in …

Grit, Self-Assessment, And Second Language Proficiency: A Large-Scale Examination Using Data From The Language Ability Self-Evaluation Resource, Andrew T. Skoy

Theses and Dissertations

Grit has been defined as being "perseverance and passion for long-term goals" (Duckworth et al., 2007). Research has tied grit to success in the discipline of second language acquisition (SLA), where researchers have adapted Duckworth's general grit self-assessment instrument to capture measurements of grit within second language learners (Teimouri et al., 2022). Such a scale appears on the Language Ability Self-Evaluation Resource (LASER), a standardized language proficiency test developed by researcher at Brigham Young University. With the aim of replicating the studies that were done to validate the design of the LASER, responses to the grit-measuring section of the test …

Language, Life, And Indigenous Knowledge: Cultural Contexts In Advanced Kaqchikel Maya Language Education Approaches To Indigenous Language Revitalization In Kik'aslemal Ri Kaqchikela': An Advanced Kaqchikel Maya Language Textbook, José Israel Herrera

Journal of Maya Heritage

Abstract. This article examines the relationship between Indigenous language revitalization and the continuity of socially embedded systems of knowledge through the case of advanced Kaqchikel Maya language education. Drawing upon scholarship on Indigenous pedagogies, linguistic anthropology, and Indigenous epistemologies, the article explores how culturally grounded approaches to language learning contribute not only to the development of linguistic competence but also to the reproduction of memories, values, and intellectual traditions. Particular attention is devoted to Kik'aslemal ri Kaqchikela': An Advanced Kaqchikel Maya Language Textbook, whose thematic organization and collaborative development illustrate broader processes of knowledge production and cultural continuity. Rather than …

‘It’S A Win-Win Situation’— Cultivating University & School Partnerships, Emily Wisniewski, Kelly Virgin, Pauline Skowron Schmidt

Teaching/Writing: The Journal of Writing Teacher Education

This qualitative case study examines Writing Zones, a fifteen-year university–high school partnership that embeds preservice English teachers in secondary classrooms as writing mentors. Drawing on surveys from 20 preservice teachers and eight high school teachers, along with follow-up interviews, the study explores perceptions of preparation, support, and program impact. Findings highlight Writing Zones as a mutually beneficial model that enhances student writing through individualized support while providing authentic, field-based learning for preservice teachers. However, effectiveness was conditional, shaped by mentor preparedness, clarity of roles, communication, and scheduling. The study underscores the importance of intentional training, sustained relationships, and institutional alignment …

Dismantling Future Writing Teachers’ English-Only Assumptions: Composing Videos To Learn The Value Of Linguistic And Cultural Inclusion, Ann N. Amicucci

Teaching/Writing: The Journal of Writing Teacher Education

This article presents the results of a study of 12 students’ video composing assignments and accompanying reflections in which students, all of whom were future writing teachers enrolled in an undergraduate TESOL course, examined how well public spaces acknowledged and included multilingual individuals. Students’ videos and reflections demonstrated that the assignment dismantled these future writing teachers’ assumptions that multilingual writers learn best in an English-only environment but perpetuated perceptions of languages as discrete rather than intertwined. Findings are discussed within the context of scholarship on writing teacher education and English-only policy and practice in the U.S.
