Challenging Old and New Images Representing the Cambodian Genocide: The Missing Picture (Rithy Panh, 2013)

2018

This article focuses on the images used over four decades to represent the Cambodian genocide in photography, cinema, visual arts and the media as the basis for analyzing the documentary-memoir directed by Rithy Panh, The Missing Picture. First, there is a paucity of images which depict, evoke or allude to the crimes perpetrated by the Khmer Rouge (1975-1979); second, scholars raise objections about whether any image can adequately depict a catastrophic event such as genocide. This article begins by categorizing the Cambodian genocide iconography according to the modality of the visual production. After briefly classifying this visual output in four categories (perpetrator images, liberator…

Hypnosis, Animal Magnetism, and Monstrosity in late Nineteenth Century English Literature

2019

We will explore the literary image of animal magnetism and hypnosis through the analysis of two works of fiction: the novels Richard Marsh’s The Beetle: A Mystery (1897) and Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1897). During all the 19th century and mainly at its last, many authors used animal magnetism and hypnosis in their fictional creations in an environmental or plot way, so much that Arthur Quiller-Couch, an important literary critic of the nineteenth century, spoke about the emergence of a new literary subgenre that he called “hypnotic fiction”. Starting from the idea that in this mesmeric and hypnotic fiction literature you can clearly trace differentiated stereotypes of magnetizers and hypnotist…

El secano mejorado y la agricultura aterrazada. Paisajes significativos con un gran valor socio-ambiental y didáctico

2019

En los últimos veinte años, en las denominadas sociedades postproductivistas se ha producido un redescubrimiento del paisaje asociado a su identificación como un elemento identitario y de calidad. En la provincia de Alicante, representativos resultan el denominado secano mejorado (aprovechamiento de turbias) característico de la comarca de l’Alacantí y los paisajes aterrazados (Montaña de Alicante). Los objetivos de esta investigación son: 1) Analizar la ordenación tradicional de los paisajes derivados del uso de turbias y los aterrazados; 2) Analizar las estrategias de adaptación al medio y cómo el proceso de abandono ha repercutido ambientalmente en el área de estudio; 3) Poner de manifie…

A Taxonomy as a Vehicle for Learning

2009

In this article, we describe the development of a classification system providing a framework for analysis of, and communication about, a subgroup of learning objects. The objects we consider are highly visual, animated, interactive, and mathematics-related, and we call them VaniMaps. Secondly, we discuss the use of the system. In the first phase, the development was based on literature studies and discussions on examples of VaniMaps. In the second phase, the classification system was tested by students and their responses were analyzed to identify possible improvements. Now, the system is developed further based on experience gained while using it for different purposes. We see several pos…

Un negocio entre paisanos: los tiangueros purépechas en la zona metropolitana de Guadalajara

2011

Este artículo muestra la evolución del comercio informal que ha experimentado un grupo de inmigrantes purépechas en una colonia periférica de la Zona Metropolitana de Guadalajara. Se analizan conceptos clave como grupos corporativos, redes primarias y organización familiar y del trabajo, que son necesarios para entender el proceso de asentamiento y captura del nicho laboral entre un grupo inmigrante y minoritario en el mundo urbano.

Inmigrantes “chinxs” en la Buenos Aires globalizada

2018

En las últimas décadas y debido a la globalización, aun siendo su afincamiento restrictivo, la movilidad de personas coloca incluso a sociedades como la argentina, que se autodefine como de inmigrantes, frente a interesantes encrucijadas discursivas: ¿Qué elementos mueve la vulnerabilidad de los actuales inmigrantes en la autopercepción de las autobiografías migratorias de lxs argentinxs? El artículo 25 de la Constitución argentina fomenta explícitamente “la inmigración europea”, pero, ¿qué sucede con la “nueva migración”, por ejemplo con la de personas originarias de China, que se establecieron en los años 1980 y ya cuentan con una “segunda generación” o con otras llegadas aún más reciente…

"Me llaman el desaparecido" : coexistencia y continuidad entre la desaparición forzada y la desaparición social

2020

En este trabajo analizo una de las formas del desborde contemporáneo de la categoría de "desaparición", por la cual ésta pasa a designar formas de invisibilidad, exclusión y violencia muy diferentes a la que definía su marco originario. En particular, me detengo en el trazado de una relación de continuidad entre las formas de la desaparición forzada originaria -ejemplificada en el caso emblemático de la dictadura militar chilena- y las formas de "desaparición social" en las democracias liberales contemporáneas. A partir de la puesta en relación de conceptos políticos como campo, doctrina del shock o excepción, y del análisis de algunos productos culturales, exploramos la posibilidad de habl…

O Brasil no espelho de Amaterasu: O Japão de Aluísio Azevedo

2013

De 1897 a 1899, Aluísio Azevedo esteve como vice-cônsul em Yokohama. Nesses anos concebeu e esboçou um livro sobre a cultura e sociedade japonesas no passado e no presente, do qual chegou a escrever somente a primeira parte, dedicada à História do Japão. Este fragmento, publicado em 1984 por Luiz Dantas, possibilita analisar a visão de Azevedo da nação e cultura japonesas, a serem compreendidas dentro do contexto histórico do fim do século XIX e em relação com as conflitividades internas da nação e cultura brasileiras como Azevedo as tratou nos seus romances naturalistas.
