Polish Americans in the History of Bilingual Lexicography: The State of the Art
2018
This paper measures dictionaries made by Polish Americans against the development of the Polish–English and English–Polish lexicographic tradition. Of twenty nine monoscopal and biscopal glossaries and dictionaries published between 1788 and 1947, four may be treated as mile-stones: Erazm Rykaczewski's (1849–1851), Władysław Kierst and Oskar Callier's (1895), Władysław Kierst's (1926–1928), and Jan Stanisławski's (1929). Unsurprisingly, they came to be widely repub-lished in English-speaking countries, primarily the United States of America, for the sake of Polish-speaking immigrants. One might therefore wonder whether there was any pressing need for new dictionaries. There must have been, …
Characterization of prehispanic cosmetics found in a burial of the ancient city of Teotihuacan (Mexico)
2012
The present paper reports the chemical data obtained on samples of pigmenting materials contained in 31 miniature vessels found in a burial found in Teopancazco, a multiethnic neighborhood center located in the southeastern sector of the archaeological site of Teotihuacan (Central Mexico) and the analytical protocol established for the complete characterization of these archaeological materials.

Antoine Traisnel, Capture: American Pursuits and the Making of a New Animal Condition
2021
You can’t judge a book by its cover. Or so they say. But the cover of Antoine Traisnel’s Capture: American Pursuits and the Making of a New Animal Condition is striking and, one is tempted to say, captivating. And so is the book. The cover features colorful images of various birds—such as the ruby-throated hummingbird, the tufted coquette or the buff-tailed sicklebill—taken from one of the most impressive plates in Ernst Haeckel’s Kunstformen der Natur (Art Forms in Nature) and interlaced on ...

Este artículo nace ante la evidencia de un símil –el reciente movimiento de exhumación de cuerpos de fosas comunes en España se asemeja a la búsqueda de los desaparecidos en Argentina y Chile- y de una « transferencia » a la inversa -España, después de representar un modelo de transición para las naciones del Cono Sur, aprende hoy la lección que le han dejado sus « hijas » americanas y vuelve sobre el consenso silencioso que fundó la reconciliación nacional en los años 1970-1980, como lo demu...

“ ‘What are patterns for?: the horizons of form in The New Poetry (1917)”
2009
In the early twentieth century, the relationship between poets and the rules that preside over composition is cast as a conflictual one, characteristic of modernity's mythologizing of formal innovation as a path to artistic autonomy, achieved through the destruction of codes. The anthology entitled The New Poetry, which was published in 1917 by Harriet Monroe and Alice Corbin Henderson, faithfully reflects the construct of a poetics established upon the reappraisal of the constraints set by meter and rhyme, as in the example of free verse. However, while celebrating avenues to experiment, the anthology brings to light the limitations of the myth of formal autonomy in a cultural climate shap…
Thomas Constantinesco, Writing Pain in the Nineteenth-Century United States
2023
Pain is part of life. It is part of literature as well. And in Writing Pain in the Nineteenth-Century United States, Thomas Constantinesco offers an intelligent, clearly organized, and insightful exploration of various ways in which pain is expressed—or not—through the written word in a selection of American literary works from the 1800s. Constantinesco takes his initial inspiration, in part, from Elaine Scarry’s The Body in Pain, a controversial work published in 1985, which has become recog...
