El camino hacia el reconocimiento legal de la violencia sexual contra la mujer en tiempos de guerra
2020
El objetivo de este trabajo es explorar el proceso de configuración de un Derecho Internacional que atienda al fenómeno de la violencia sexual contra las mujeres en contextos de conflictos armados, analizando el alcance del cambio de paradigma logrado en los años noventa con la tipificación y enjuiciamiento de la violencia sexual contra las mujeres en conflictos armados en el ámbito de la justicia penal internacional y, en última instancia, identificando posibles elementos sobre los que seguir avanzando hacia un Derecho Internacional que reconozca un estatus jurídico de las mujeres y huya de la imagen única de la mujer como víctima. © 2020 University of Valencia, Human Rights Institute.

Women in contemporary English drama translation: enhancement and downplay mechanisms to portray Golden Age damas
2011
In the last two decades British and American drama translators have shown a growing interest in the Spanish classics, resulting in English versions exclusively intended for the stage. Within this particular context, this paper is intended to provide a general view on how a motif present in the source texts, i.e. the role of women, is transferred into the target plays. A close analysis of the translated works reveals how women’s acts can be enhanced or downplayed in order to accommodate them to the recipient culture. Hence, political correctness, reaction to male domination, moral squeamishness and honour emerge as important elements to be taken into account. Conclusions will ultimately prov…
Dislocated Temporalities : Immigration, Identity, and Sexuality in Najat El Hachmi?s «L?últim patriarca»
2018
Recent Catalan criticism has focused on place and space, as well as immigration, but has overlooked temporality. Yet migrations are not only a matter of space (of demographic movements and geographical relocations), but also of time: immigration questions the idea of origins and the possibility of a shared future, and problematizes the rhythms of everyday life. Temporality, in fact, is a key axis in the formation of identities and in cultural conflicts, not just regarding the uses of the past and the projection of societies towards the future, but also in relation to the normative uses of the body. The coexistence of asynchronous temporalities provoked by immigration is a factor in both cul…
An experimental test of the dose-dependent effect of carotenoids and immune activation on sexual signals and antioxidant activity.
2004
Carotenoid‐based sexual traits are thought to be reliable indicators of male quality because they might be scarce and therefore might indicate the ability of males to gather high‐quality food and because they are involved in important physiological functions (as immune enhancers and antioxidants). We performed an experiment where male and female zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata) were provided with increasing carotenoid doses in the drinking water during 4 weeks (bill color of this species is a carotenoid‐based sexual signal). Simultaneously, birds were split into two groups: one receiving weekly injections of Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide in order to activate the immune system, the …
Leo Tolstoy’s and Joseph Conrad’s Relation to Music
2017
It is important to stress that Tolstoy’s and Conrad’s texts are to be understood to include not only literary, and thus verbal, texts but also elements of other media, such as music, theatre and visual arts. It should be noted that for Conrad music was also one of the arts that he greatly appreciated. Though Conrad’s main concern was to make us “see,” he was also concerned with making us “hear.” The use of music to accompany sexual desire, frustration and violence is a technique often used by the writer. Likewise, music had an enormous infl uence on Tolstoy. He was fascinated with its power, just as with the power of sexuality, beauty and war. His favourite composer was Chopin, but he also …
Écrire sans honte: la sexualité féminine en question dans les traductions anglo-américaines de Passion simple, L’Événement et L’Occupation d’Annie Er…
2011
Cet article prend le parti d’étudier le rendu du discours sur la sexualité dans Passion simple et L’Occupation et celui sur la procréation dans L’Événement dans les traductions anglo-américaines de ces trois textes. Annie Ernaux conçoit l’écriture comme une activité politique destinée, entre autres tâches, à dénoncer la domination masculine. Ce travail passe par l’inscription textuelle de la sexualité et de la corporalité féminines. Il s’agit en effet pour l’auteure de s’approprier la liberté d’écrire « sans honte » et de transgresser une loi du silence imposée par la société. L’effort d’objectivation qui caractérise l’écriture ernausienne s’appuie sur un style dépourvu de métaphores et mar…
Amor y erotismo en Vargas Llosa y su traducción al inglés
2017
En este artículo analizaremos uno de los ejes de la creación novelística de Mario Vargas Llosa (la exploración del amor y el sexo) a través de las traducciones inglesas de las novelas Pantaleón y las visitadoras (1973), La tía Julia y el escribidor (1977), Elogio de la madrastra (1988) y Los cuadernos de don Rigoberto (1997). Si bien en casi todas las obras de Vargas Llosa el amor juega un papel relevante, en estas cuatro obras hay una fabulación explícita sobre la sexualidad humana y un notable trabajo sobre la elaboración lingüística y retórica del lenguaje del amor y el sexo. Traducir el lenguaje relativo al sexo es, sin duda, un área muy sensible, el lugar de confluencia entre las inter…
”Pitikö runouskin vetää ihan läskiksi?”
2015
The Affective Reception of Tytti Heikkinen’s Poem “Ryhavalaan tasoa” In this article, I analyze the reception of Tytti Heikkinen’s poem ”Ryhavalaan tasoa” (”On par with whales”) from the viewpoint of affectivity. ”Ryhavalaan tasoa” is a Flarf poem which means that it has been made of material found from the internet with weird search terms. Flarf poetry is also based on a kind of aesthetics of ugliness. The poem is a dramatic monologue in which the speaking I – a girl called ”Fatty XL” – talks unrestrainedly and vulgarly about fatness, sexuality and shame. Theoretically, the article relies mainly on Rita Felski’s and Sianne Ngai’s views on affectivity of reading. The research material consi…
