Translationsstrategien in Texten der Evangelisierung und der indigenen Rechtsprechung in Neu-Spanien
2021
ZusammenfassungThis paper sets out to reconstruct concepts of translation between Spanish and indigenous languages that were prevalent in religious as well as notarial contexts in colonial Mexico (more specifically in a district within the state of Oaxaca) between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. To this end, we analyse Christian doctrinal texts translated from Spanish into the Zapotec language by Dominican friars in order to propagate the Christian faith, as well as notarial texts in the form of testaments written in Zapotec by the indigenous population and translated into Spanish in order to be submitted as evidence in court. We pay particular attention to the use and translation o…
The Diversity of the Philippine Population
2017
A country of many islands, the Philippines is also a country of many languages. The Tagalog language of Manila has been chosen as the base of the national Pilipino language, even if Cebuano counts as many speakers. The languages of the Philippines have common grammatical structures, but wide differences in vocabulary. Contrary to Latin America where Spanish and Portuguese became the dominant languages, Spanish did not dominate the local languages, since colonial priests preferred to learn local languages rather than teaching Spanish to their flocks. English, as the second colonial language, is spoken much more, since the Americans educated Filipinos in English as part of their “benevolent a…

Violencias geográficas. La imagen de mujer en las relaciones oriente-occidente
2007
A partir del análisis de diferentes actividades culturales producidas desde lugares “no occidentales”, trataremos de desvelar el funcionamiento de un tipo concreto de violencia de género, una violencia que hemos denominado “geográfica”. Estas actividades artístico-activistas no sólo funcionan como ejercicios críticos de “contrarrepresentación” sino que, además, empleando diferentes “tácticas”, modos de hacer críticos, invisibles en los grandes circuitos de producción difusión del Saber, aparecen en la actualidad como una de las herramientas principales en la configuración de un nuevo proyecto feminista global. Este proyecto común, tendrá como principal objetivo la denuncia y desenmascaramie…
Haunted Cartographies: toward a postcolonial gyne-a-logy of mapmaking
2016
Recalling Jardine’s definition of ‘gynesis’ (1985) which, etymologically, means ‘woman-process’ as the ‘putting into discourse of “woman”’ and strategically combining it with the Foucauldian sense of genealogy (1979), the aim of this paper is to re-vision and re-envision through the lens of feminist and postcolonial critical theory and visual arts the problematics inherent to what has been named the ‘cartographic reason’ (Farinelli, 2009). As Adrienne Rich once proposed for her writing, by revision I mean the theoretical act ‘of looking back, of seeing with fresh eyes, of entering an old text from a new critical direction’ (1972: 18). The new critical direction I detrimentally encourage is …
Finns in the Colonial World
2021
AbstractUtilizing such concepts as “colonial complicity” and “colonialism without colonies”, this chapter examines the case of Finns and Finland as a nation that was once oppressed but also itself complicit in colonialism. It argues that although the Finnish nation has historically been positioned in Europe between western and eastern empires, Finns were not only passive victims of (Russian) imperial rule but also active participants in the creation of imperial vocabulary in various colonial contexts, including Sápmi in the North.This chapter argues that although Finns never had overseas colonies, they were involved in the colonial world, sending out colonizers and producing images of colon…
Deconstructing Gendered and Colonial Violence in the Re-Imagined Nineteenth-Century: Domestic Traumas in Neo-Victorianism on Screen
2023
En esta tesis, examinamos el colapso del concepto idealizado de familia nuclear en las sociedades occidentales a través de la (mala) representación de los traumas de género y coloniales en el neovictorianismo audiovisual. Para ello, analizamos cuatro textos audiovisuales neovictorianos producidos en la última década: Crimson Peak (2015) de Guillermo del Toro, Penny Dreadful (2014-2016), Taboo (2017-presente) y Carnival Row (2019-presente) a través del marco teórico de los estudios de trauma. Nuestras hipótesis de partida son (1) estos textos audiovisuales neovictorianos aparentemente proporcionan una representación feminista de los traumas de género dentro de los confines de la familia nucl…
Päivitettyä perinnettä : saamelaisen nykyrunouden saamelaiskuvastoja
2017
This doctoral dissertation investigates the imagery of Sáminess in contemporary Sámi poetry. The research material of the study consists of poetry collections published in North Sámi and Norwegian by eight Sámi authors: Inger-Mari Aikio (previously Aikio-Arianaick), Inga Ravna Eira, Rawdna Carita Eira, Irene Larsen, Rauni Magga Lukkari, Hege Siri, Nils- Aslak Valkeapää, and Ellen Marie Vars. The emphasis is on poetry published at the turn of the 2010s. The study examines how Sáminess has been depicted and constructed in poetry from the 1980s onwards. The four original research articles ask how images traditionally connected to Sáminess and indigenousness are used in contemporary poems and h…
