Translation and bilingualism in Monica Ali's and Jhumpa Lahiri's Marginalised Identitties
2012
This study, drawing upon contemporary theories in the field of migration, postcolonialism, and translation, offers an analysis of literary works by Monica Ali and Jhumpa Lahiri. Ali and Lahiri epitomize second-generation immigrant literature, play with the linguistic concept of translating and interpreting as forms of hybrid connections, and are significant examples of how a text may become a space where multi-faceted identities co-habit in a process of deconstructing and reconstructing their own sense of emplacement in non-native places. Each immigrant text becomes a hybrid site, where second- and third generations of immigrant subjects move as mobile, fluctuating and impermanent identitie…

Spaces, (Non-)Places, and Fluid Identities in Tim Winton’s Fiction
2021
One of the major issues addressed by postcolonial literature is identity crisis. In Australia, a multicultural country and a former settler colony, where the sense of belonging is particularly troubling, this literary theme has been exploited by writers to address the ambiguity of home and belonging. This article attempts to examine Tim Winton’s fiction and show how the writer explores the concepts of place and space to set his protagonists’ shattered selves in the postcolonial geography. The analysis of his fiction from the perspective of humanistic geography, Edward Relph’s concept of placelessness, and Marc Auge’s idea of non-place reveals that a simple categorization of Winton’s setting…
Citādības atspoguļojums Amitava Goša romānos
2022
Postkoloniālajā literatūrā citādības jeb alteritātes jēdziens dominē diskusijās par Rietumu imperiālisma politisko un sociālo ietekmi. Literatūras teorijā citādības jēdzienu var aplūkot no divām perspektīvām - viena ir fiziskā citādība, bet otra ir iekšēja atsvešināšanās no noteiktas grupas vai sabiedrības. Šī darba mērķis ir analizēt, kā citādība tiek attēlota Amitava Goša romānos „Magoņu jūra”, „Ēnu līnijas” un „Kalkutas hromosoma”. Šajā darbā izmantotās pētniecības metodes ir literatūras apskats, teksta analīze un atziņu interpretācija. Atlasīto romānu analīze parādīja, ka varoņu citādība un ar to saistītie aizspriedumi ir atšķirīgi atkarībā no romānu tēmām un laika periodiem, kuros nori…
Coste-efectividad de la suspensión del tratamiento con colistina inhalada en los pacientes con bronquiectasias del adulto no debidas a fibrosis quíst…
2018
Introducción Las bronquiectasias no debidas a fibrosis quística son, en frecuencia, la tercera enfermedad inflamatoria crónica de la vía aérea, después del asma y de la enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica, y están en estrecha relación con ambas. El número de casos diagnosticados va en aumento cada día, sobre todo debido a la longevidad creciente de la población y al uso generalizado de las técnicas de imagen que confirman su diagnóstico como la tomografía axial computarizada de alta resolución. Las bronquiectasias son una causa clara de morbimortalidad y suponen una importante carga económica. Los pacientes afectos de bronquiectasias suelen tener exacerbaciones infecciosas que requieren…
Encuentro de saberes: Huellas de memoria pluriversa y descolonización de la Universidad contemporánea
2018
This paper studies the Encounter of Knowledge as a project that, by welcoming mestres and mestras of ancestral knowledge into universities, contributes to decolonize higher education, broadening its field of memory. Based on a systematization exercise, we established a theoretical dialogue with Bajtin and Bejamin. Based on the participation of four mestres -Lucely Pío, raicera del Cerrado, Mãe Lu and Tata Mutá Imé, religious leaders of Candomblé and the political leader and shaman Álvaro Tukano of the Tukano nation- we show how the project promotes in the contemporary Brazilian university a space of mnemic pluriversity, capable of activating diverse narrative planes (biographical, political…

Le grafie e le visioni in Oltremare di Umberto Di Segni
2022
Between the end of 1993 and the beginning of 1994, the Galleria d’Arte Moderna in Bologna held an extraordinary exhibition on Italian architecture in the overseas territories, accompanied by a catalogue which, through period drawings and photos, gave an insight into a very interesting moment in the history of Italian architecture. The “Quarta Sponda”, at that time thought of as the nineteenth region of the Homeland, was to be a true extension of Italy that would be inhabited, according to a well-defined colonisation programme, by one hundred thousand colonists.The role of architecture was central to the process of founding new agglomerations and representative buildings envisaged by the Fas…
The Anti-Cancer Effect of
2019
Ethanolic extracts from Mangifera indica L. have been proved to possess anti-tumor properties in many cancer systems. However, although most effects have been demonstrated with fruit pulp extract, the underlying molecular mechanisms of mango peel are still unclear. This study was designed to explore the effects of mango peel extract (MPE) on colon cancer cell lines. MPE affected cell viability and inhibited the colony formation trend of tumor cells, while no effects were observed in human dermal fibroblasts used as a non-cancerous cell line model. These events were a consequence of the induction of apoptosis associated to reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, activation of players of th…
