Human-induced hybridization and population bottleneck : population genetics, morphometrics and parasitology applied to the invaded and invasive tilap…
2011
Biological invasions are recognized as a significant evolutionary factor over short time scales. In particular, their effect is well recorded on the genetic structure of populations, the patterns of phenotypic evolution and the richness of parasite fauna associated to invasive populations. This study aims at quantifying the consequences of a biological invasion according to these three levels (genetical, phenotypical and parasitological) taking as example the Mozambique tilapia Oreochromis mossambicus. This African cichlid is characterized by an unusual conservation status since it is both (i) ranked among the world’s worst invasive species due to its global dispersion during the 20th centu…

Family and values in three novels by Almudena Grandes : Malena es un nombre de tango, Los aires difíciles and El corazón helado
2017
Family has always inspired great novels which often highlight the relationship between the different generations. The subject of family is indeed constantly reinvested by authors regardless of their nationality or the period they depict.

In our corpus, family is, …

2018
This paper explores the poetry of Sinéad Morrissey (born in Portadown, Northern Ireland, in 1972), one of the most highly regarded of the younger generation of contemporary Irish poets. Taking into account her six collections to date – including There Was Fire in Vancouver (1996), The State of the Prisons (2005), Parallax (2013) and On Balance published in 2017, it examines the great variety of poetical strategies – analogy, metaphor, polysemy, play on form and perspective, pictorialism and iconicity, ekphrasis, etc. – that Morrissey uses to tell of most personal experiences (physical pain, exile, loss, pregnancy and motherhood, confrontation with forms of otherness, states of imprisonment,…

La televisión, “lugar de memoria” transgresivo
2010
International audience; Contrairement au cinéma, la télévision espagnole a accordé à la guerre civile, à l'immédiate après-guerre et à la répression franquiste une place dérisoire par rapport à l'espace médiatique qu'elle représente et aux moyens de production et de diffusion dont elle dispose. Ce parti pris et l'orientation de bon nombre des programmes qu'elle a proposés au cours de ces trente cinq dernières années, font de la télévision, la plus remarquable et présente manifestation du point de vue des vainqueurs.
