El 'Journal du voleur' de Jean Genet. Una experiencia literaria sin voluntad de recepción
2017
La experiencia literaria de Jean Genet está marcada por el aislamiento y la soledad de la cárcel. La experiencia del mal a través del crimen y la búsqueda de la virtud están presentes en el Journal du voleur. En el presente artículo estudiamos algunos de los aspectos estéticos que se observan en una escritura que es practicada como ascesis y que se manifiesta en una obra que no presenta voluntad de recepción alguna, pero que la encuentra paradójicamente a través de una canonización involuntaria. Jean Genet’s literary experience is marked by the isolation and loneliness of jail. The experience of evil through crime and the pursuit of virtue are both present everywhere in the Journal du voleu…

2010
2017
Aqueous humour (AH) is an important biologic fluid that maintains normal intraocular pressure and contains proteins that regulate the homeostasis of ocular tissues. Any alterations in the protein compositions are correlated to the pathogenesis of various ocular disorders. In recent years, gender-based medicine has emerged as an important research focus considering the prevalence of certain diseases, which are higher in a particular sex. Nevertheless, the inter-gender variations in the AH proteome are unknown. Therefore, this study endeavoured to characterize the AH proteome to assess the differences between genders. Thirty AH samples of patients who underwent cataract surgery were categoriz…

Brokers in the tea trade between China and West Africa
2021
Brokers have played important roles in the trade of green tea between China and Mali, from the 19th century when tea first came to Mali up to the present. They mediate between tea buyers and sellers, work on their own account, use soft skills, knowledge and networks and make a living from the commission they gain. This article examines the work of brokers in the tea trade, the social constellations in which they are active and the scope of their activity. Based on extensive field research in Mali and China, this article shows how brokers create their own jobs in a dynamic business landscape, which is often delimited by governmental policies, competing entrepreneurial activities and social …
Nuevas formas de expresión en la lírica reciente : el lenguaje literario y la ruptura del horizonte de expectativas
2018
Debido a la idea extendida de que la poesía posmoderna se caracteriza por la preocupación lingüística y por la deconstrucción del proceso creativo, este artículo estudia cómo los poetas españoles nacidos en torno a 1980 trabajan con el lenguaje y con las convenciones del género lírico. En concreto, se centra en la desautomatización de unidades fraseológicas, en las correcciones expresas y en las referencias irónicas al proceso de escritura. Estos tres mecanismos, que albergan una visión desacralizada de la lírica, producen una ruptura de expectativas. La desautomatización de unidades fraseológicas adquiere un interés metalingüístico y metapoético porque se erige en un modo de renovación de …
The Physical Economy of France (1830–2015). The History of a Parasite?
2019
Abstract This article explores long-term trends and patterns of material use in France for a 185-year period. It is the first long-term study of material flows for France with national and yearly data for most of the period. Based on a material flow analysis (MFA) that is fully consistent with current standards of economy-wide MFAs and covers domestic extraction, imports, and exports of materials, we investigated the evolution of the French metabolism from industrialization to financialized capitalism. Over the whole period, there is a 9-fold increase in domestic material consumption, an expansion of material use per capita, and a spectacular addition of abiotic resources (fossil fuels and …
