México y el surrealismo: Leonora Carrington y el laberinto fantástico de Xilitla

2018

En 1965 Leonora Carrington pinta un mural en una de las paredes del laberíntico Castillo de Xilitla, muy cerca de la surreal obra arquitectónica creada por Edward James en selva de la Huasteca potosina (Xilitla, México). El encuentro con el extravagante mecenas y coleccionista de arte, el inglés Edward James, resulta crucial en su recorrido artístico y lleva a la realización de la única obra mural creada por Carrington: La minotaura. En este mural la artista representa una de las insólitas y extremadamente seductoras criaturas híbridas que habitan su espacio pictórico. El ensayo sigue analizando la compleja producción de la la artista inglesa que desde 1942 vive in México. En particular est…

Calls of the Jungle Crow (Corvus macrorhynchos s. l.) as a taxonomic characterResults of the Himalaya Expeditions of J. Martens, No. 224. - For No. 2…

Summary A discriminant analysis of the call structure completely separates three Corvus taxa (levaillantii and japonensis of the ‘macrorhynchos group’, splendens) inhabiting the southern slopes of the Himalayas (Nepal, Kashmir). The acoustic differences are considered taxonomically relevant, indicating species boundaries. Therefore the Jungle Crows of lower and upper Nepal (contact zone at around 2,000 m) are assigned to two biospecies (C. japonensis and C. levaillantii), as is consistent with morphological, ecological and parasitological data. It appears possible to extrapolate the findings regarding call structure to the systematics of other ‘macrorhynchos’ populations as distant as the R…

A Taxonomy for App-Enabled Devices: Mastering the Mobile Device Jungle

2018

While the term application is known for a long time, what we now refer to as mobile apps has facilitated task-oriented, interoperable software. The term was initially only used for smartphones and tablets, but desktop software now is also referred to as apps. More important than the wording, however, is the trend towards app-enablement of many further kinds of devices such as smart TVs and wearables. App-enabled devices usually share some characteristics and developing apps is often similar. However, many complexities must be mastered: Device fragmentation and cross-platform app development already are challenging when only considering smartphones. When trying to grasp the field as a whole,…

Cultivating a ‘Digital Jungle’ : Toward a Hybrid Governance Perspective on Infrastructure Evolution

2020

Digital infrastructures (DIs) evolve rather than following planned development trajectories. We know this phenomenon as drift, that is, infrastructures drift from management control. Infrastructure drift has motivated research into infrastructure governance recognizing two governance approaches: top-down and bottom-up. Yet, what happens if an organization engaging in its digital transformation expands its DI following top-down governance while simultaneously introducing elements of bottomup governance? We study how an industrial manufacturer expanded its DI for collaboration top-down while also giving employees leeway for bottom-up governance. As a result, it found that its digital collabor…

Censura y traducción al español de la novela lésbica en inglés: el caso de Rubyfruit Jungle (1973)

2020

This article analyses the only translation into Spanish of Rita Mae Brown's Rubyfruit Jungle (1973), translated in Spain by Jorge Binaghi in 1979. In order to do so, the study reviews lesbian narrative in English during the 20th century and the social and political factors that might have influenced its translation in Spain. An overview on Francoist literary censorship is followed by a discussion on how the Spanish literary market has received English lesbian novels and the case of Rubyfruit Jungle. Despite being one of the first lesbian novels published in democracy in Spain, the analysis suggests that the Francoist ideological paradigms are still perpetuated and have altered the translati…

Combs and sexual selection in black grouse (Tetrao tetrix)

2000

We studied supra-orbital combs in lekking black grouse (Telrao tetrix) in relation to sexual selection at five leks in Finland 1991-1998 and four leks in Sweden 1992-1995. Comb size was estimated in two ways: by observing its natural size in the field at
