Discovering Buddhism Online : A Translocative Analysis of Tibetan Buddhist Forum Discussions
2018
The study investigates how tenets, meanings and practices of Tibetan Buddhism are re-contextualized by non-Tibetan students of online courses offered by a major Tibetan Buddhist organization. The research adopts transcultural and translocal perspectives and aims to enrich the understanding of how Tibetan Buddhism is establishing itself globally through online facilities. A 'translocative' analysis, suggested by Tweed (2011) for the study of Buddhism, is employed as the main lens for analysing the online program’s closed forum discussions. The data analysis reveals general trends in the development of Tibetan Buddhism as a transnational religion, and invites an extension of Tweed’s (2011) mo…
Paradoxes of postmodern tourists and innovation in tourism marketing
2018
Innovation challenges tourism experiences in a new digitalized era. The new scenario is showing some paradoxical changes that lead to new approaches for tourism production, distribution, and financing. This chapter focuses on innovation in marketing, involving market processes, new changes in tourist behavior and new approaches adopted by companies to face new trends. An emphasis is given to service innovation in tourism, with a special focus on companies, tourist destinations, and the digital environment. Likewise, the chapter examines a series of paradoxes of postmodern tourists and how companies develop new products and services to try to address them.
Towards new paradigms in tourism fields: an anthropological perspective
2018
The present notes of research centres on the problem of fragmentation, which is experienced by tourism applied research in the recent years. Echoing the original claims issued by John Tribe –followed by many others scholars–, we discuss further on the socio-economic factors that prevented tourism its maturated and stylised form. Though we introduce a materialist viewpoint, echoing David Harvey, no less true is that the point is open to further debate, incorporating cultural viewpoints. The impulses and bursts of interest received simultaneously from social science but also by the theory of scientifisation coined by Jafar Jafari did not suffice to gain purchase over a maturated discipline. E…

Le storie proibite sono le uniche che valga la pena di leggere, o così avrebbe potuto dire Oscar Wilde. Ma cosa c'è nella storia che suggerisce l'idea del segreto o del proibito? E per quale motivo le autrici contemporanee dovrebbero mostrare un siffatto fervore nel riscriverle? Negli ultimi decenni del ventesimo secolo e nei primi anni del nuovo millennio si è registrata una crescita della narrativa storica nella produzione delle donne: Margaret Atwood, Antonia S. Byatt, Angela Carter, Tracy Chevalier, Margaret Forster, Valerie Martin, Tony Morrison, Michèle Roberts, Katie Roiphe, Adhaf Soueif, Sarah Waters, Jeanette Winterson e molte altre [...] hanno fatto della storia, del coinvolgiment…
Repensando nuestros posicionamientos como profesoras de arte dentro de un escenario de cambios
2017
Resumen: Este articulo intenta rescatar algunas de las ideas que para nosotras como profesoras de artes visuales son relevantes al momento de afrontar la ensenanza de las artes en la educacion chilena actual. Estas ideas emergen de algunas contribuciones obtenidas durante el seminario “Dialogos entre la educacion artistica y los desafios del siglo XXI”, que se desarrollo en Santiago de Chile durante el ano 2014. Este encuentro nos permitio dialogar y reflexionar, a partir de los relatos y experiencias de los(as) academicos(as) que participaron con sus ponencias, en torno a como la educacion artistica se ha visto influenciada por los desafios sociales, culturales, politicos y economicos que …
Metamorphosis as fantasy of the hybrid. Postmodern horror and the destiny of the human body in The Fly (David Cronenberg, 1986)
2000
A diferencia del resurgir animista que orienta buena parte de las películas de terror modernas, La mosca (David Cronenberg, 1986) presenta una convergencia entre los temas que ocupan a la biología y la genética y las fantasías de despedazamiento del cuerpo humano. Utilizando como soporte la idea de metamorfosis, La mosca se revela como fa cara despiadada de esa otra fantasía de cuerpos ligeros y bien formaados de la que nos habla la publicidad. La tesis de este artículo consiste en sostener que entre ambas fantasías (del cuerpo ideal y de despedazamiento y descomposición) existe un secreto vínculo que orienta nuestra llamada sensibilidad postmoderna. Ce texte prend à sa charge la transforma…
Eclecticismo, Écart y alteridad: Symphony V American, de Leonardo Balada, como paradigma compositivo
2021
Eclecticism is a complex creative trend born as a consequence of both postmodernism and the heterodox treatment of cultural identity borders. This aesthetic path emerges as a compositional model of great communicative power in contemporary creation in the last two decades. Our essay addresses the Symphony V "American" (2003) by Leonardo Balada (1933) as a compositional paradigm. Through this article we demonstrate the importance of including popular sounds and re-signifying materials in the creative conception. A valid model of communication ahead of the challenges of globalization and mass media processes is therefore established hereby.

Madrid y el teatro lírico español a partir de 1900: modernismo y regionalismo
2008
Tras el Desastre del 98 acontecieron en la sociedad española una serie de cambios que agudizaron la decadencia del sistema canovista. En tanto que los intelectuales de principios del siglo XX abogaron por el regeneracionismo y el oportunismo circunstancial reivindicó el protagonismo regional en un país centralizado, Madrid, capital de la monarquía y escaparate de la Restauración, reflejó asimismo estas y otras tendencias coetáneas cuya evolución se advirtió tanto en la reconversión física que ejemplificó el modernismo urbano como en la evolución del ocio como proyección social evidenciada en el teatro lírico español. La superación que la música escénica española obtuvo sobre las tendencias …

Tove Jansson’s Picturebook Who Will Comfort Toffle? as a Heroic Poem
 This article offers an analysis of Tove Jansson’s picturebook Vem ska trösta knyttet? (Who Will Comfort Toffle?) from 1960 as a heroic poem and dramatic monologue, representing an alternative reading to earlier studies of this picturebook as a coherent narrative. Drawing on theory about heroic poetry, poetry and picturebook analysis, we provide a reading that expands those interpretations of Vem ska trösta knyttet? that emphasize the romantic and psychological projects of the book when read as a narrative story. By reading Vem ska trösta knyttet? as a heroic poem, we explore the text as an uttered, ritualistic, and i…
