Lecanora rhizinata spec. nova, liquen taxonómicamente aislado, sobre fisuras de rocas exfoliables, en España

Se describe una nueva especie de Lecanora Ach. (L. rhizinata Poetl., Barreno & Rico) de la alta montaña del Centro de España, que se desarrolla sobre rocas metamórficas fácilmente exfoliables. La especie puede encuadrarse dentro de la subsección Concolores Poelt (sect. Petrasterion Poelt, subgen. Placodium (Pers.) Poelt) del género Lecanora. Sin embargo, la compleja estructura anatómica del talo, en la que se diferencian fascículos de hifas fuertemente conglutinadas, que partiendo del córtex penetran hacia la médula llegando, en ocasiones, hasta el límite inferior de la escuámula e intercalándose con la capa gonidial a la que disgregan en glomérulos, unido a la presencia de cordones rizinales («Rhizinenstränge»), hacen que la nueva especie tenga una posición aislada dentro del grupo Concolores y pudiera reclamar un estatus distinto. Asimismo se hace una comparación con otras especies de la citada subsect. Concolores y con otros géneros de Lecanoraceae.

Typical reggaeton in Morocco: forms of female political affirmation throught dance

Through an ethnographic account, this text analyses how social dance may become a discourse involving the cultural affirmation of a subordinate group. It describes how a group of girls faced with a complex of outlooks that construed them as Moroccan, Muslim or unattractive —or as objects of education and intervention— responded by affirming their own culture with an unanticipated corporal discourse. The way in which looking construes bodies is explored through metaphors: a hand that touches, a chisel that sculpts, a whip that lashes and a cobweb that controls and traps bodies. Owing to this political dimension of dance, workshops can also be an oppressive and silencing tool; to prevent this, the article concludes with a series of recommendations to implement dance in social intervention processes.

Alien gosd in the new epics: Noah remythologised through the ancient astronaut hypothesis in Abel's Montagut's "La gesta d'Utnoa"

Modern scientific world-view has undermined traditional myths, the functional survival of which seems to depend today in the West on a positivist justification. This would place them in the field of real History, through their study and revitalization by pseudoscientific disciplines such as the Atlantis and the ancient astronaut hypotheses. These have inspired new epic poems in (regular) verse that combine classic and/or biblical myths with a (pseudo)scientific modern world-view. For example, the critical rewriting of Noah’s myth by using the ancient astronaut hypothesis as a fictional device to produce a contemporary kind of plausibility allowed Abel Montagut to renew epic poetry, updating it also by adopting science fiction chronotopes in order to structure his fictional construction and to generate a high ethical sense for our time. Thus, his Poemo de Utnoa (1993) / La gesta d’Utnoa (1996), which has become a major classic of the literature in Esperanto thanks to its original version in this language, is a landmark of both science fiction and neo-biblical epics. This poem is written from a secular and purely literary perspective.
