Gertrude Bonnin on Sexual Morality

2021

This paper examines attitudes to sexual morality held by the Yankton Dakota author and activist Gertrude Bonnin (1876–1938), better known by her penname Zitkála-Šá (Red Bird in Lakota). Bonnin’s concerns encompass several themes: the victimization of Indian women, disintegration of Native courtship rituals, sexual threats posed by peyote use, and the predatory nature of Euro-American men. This critique as a whole — in which a ‘white invasion,’ in her words, leads to a corruption of Native sexuality — sometimes produces inconsistencies, particularly regarding Bonnin’s statements on the alleged sexual perils of peyote. Her investigations into the Oklahoma guardianship scandals of the 1920s, h…

Gendering multi-voiced histories of the North American space industry: the GMRD White women

2019

Purpose The authors focus on “writing women into ‘history’” in this study, embracing the notion of cisgender and ethnicity in relation to the “historic turn”. As such, the authors bring forward the stories of the US Pan American Airway’s Guided Missile Range Division (GMRD) and the White women who worked there. The authors ask what has a Cold War US missile division to tell us about present and future gendered relationships in the North American space industry. Design/methodology/approach The authors apply Foucault’s technology of lamination, a form of critical discourse analysis, to both narrative texts and photographic images in the GMRD’s in-house newsletter, the Clipper, dating from 19…

From causal thinking to wisdom and spirituality: some perspectives on a growing research field in adult (cognitive) development

2015

This article concentrates on the latest international trends in the research on psychological development of adults, and especially on the development of cognition. The field of research has been very fragmented, and researchers have kept creating new models one after another to describe their own lines of thought and also seeking for empirical evidence for their models. This has created a rather equivocal picture of the phenomenon itself. The present article attempts to identify the historical roots of the field, and introduces descriptive factors that could conceptually determine the gist of the phenomenon. In this context we will discuss, mainly, research going back to Piaget and Perry, …

“From Savage to Sublime (And Partway Back): Indians and Antiquity in Early Nineteenth-Century American Literature”

2016

This article examines the comparisons made between Indians and Antiquity in early nineteenth-century American literature (notably in the works of Washington Irving and James Fenimore Cooper); to do so, it begins by reaching back to references in European and American writings of the eighteenth century. One of the main motivations behind the associations between Native Americans and the Ancient World made in the early decades of the nineteenth century was to “elevate” Indians in order to transform them into worthy symbols of the recently established United States. Such associations also rendered them suitable subjects for treatment by authors inspired to a large extent by the Romantic Moveme…

Detrás de las palabras: usos políticos del concepto de imparcialidad y su función en la construcción de la historia de América en la Ilustración espa…

2018

En tiempos de renovado debate sobre el presentismo y la objetividad de los historiadores, pretendo indagar en los usos ideológicos y las funciones políticas que desempeñó el concepto de imparcialidad en la Ilustración española, su relación con la escritura de la historia y, más particularmente, con la conquista de América. A partir de diversos textos impresos de finales del s. XVIII e inicios del s. XIX —apologías, elogios, diccionarios y otros textos literarios— y adoptando una metodología que aúna la historia cultural y de los conceptos, me detendré en cómo las élites culturales dieciochescas atribuyeron al concepto un significado positivo y necesario para construir los discursos sobre lo…

Sobre la presència de Boccaccio en el Curial e Güelfa: la novella X.8

2013

Resum: Les darreres investigacions sobre la novel·la cavalleresca catalana Curial e Guelfa subratllen de forma unanime la qualitat literaria de l’obra i la riquesa de la cultura literaria del seu autor, en especial en relacio als autors classics i italians. Entre els italians, nombrosos estudiosos han remarcat el paper cabdal de Boccaccio, i en particular del Decameron , com a model d’escriptura i com a intermediari de la tradicio classica, per a l’autor anonim catala. En aquest treball oferim una mostra de la presencia de la novella X.8 en el text catala, tot resseguint ambdues narracions, i observant l’encaix en el nou context narratiu que duu a terme l’autor anonim del Curial . Aixo ens …

La revolución Americana: una revuelta desde y contra Inglaterra. Un ensayo sobre sus orígenes ideológicos.

2014

La Revolución Americana constituye un hito en la Historia contemporánea occidental cuyo modelo institucional ha ejercido una influencia que llega hasta nuestros días, pues pasa por ser la primera democracia contemporánea. Este ensayo indaga en las corrientes ideológicas que se mezclaron en el discurso de los revolucionarios, con la intención de ponderar las diferentes fuentes empleadas por ellos: el pensamiento de raíz religiosa del “Gran Despertar”, la Ilustración francesa y el pensamiento radical inglés del siglo XVII. El objetivo de esta investigación es destacar de entre estos elementos la preponderancia del tercero en la ideología de los founders norteamericanos: el pensamiento radical…
