Literatura dramática contemporánea (1950-2000)

El trabajo quiere ser una visión sintética que describa la evolución de la literatura dramática catalana de la segunda mitad del siglo XX y la primera década del actual, desde los primeros años de la dictadura franquista, en los cuales el teatro en catalán fue prohibido, pasando por el teatro independiente, y los diversos caminos emprendidos durante la etapa democrática o diferentes apuestas del teatro actual, un momento en el cual la escena catalana hace años que es un valor en alza. Se apuntan tanto los autores más consolidados y referentes de la moderna escritura, como los dramaturgos más maduros de las nuevas generaciones actuales. Unos y otros son autores ampliamente representados y traducidos a diversas lenguas.

First molar size and wear within and among modern hunter-gatherers and agricultural populations

Apart from reflecting modern human dental variation, differences in dental size among populations provide a means for studying continuous evolutionary processes and their mechanisms. Dental wear, on the other hand, has been widely used to infer dietary adaptations and variability among or within diverse ancient human populations. Few such studies have focused on modern foragers and farmers, however, and diverse methods have been used. This research aimed to apply a single, standardized, and systematic quantitative procedure to measure dental size and dentin exposure in order to analyze differences among several hunter-gatherer and agricultural populations from various environments and geographic origins. In particular, we focused on sexual dimorphism and intergroup differences in the upper and lower first molars. Results indicated no sexual dimorphism in molar size and wear within the studied populations. Despite the great ethnographic variation in subsistence strategies among these populations, our findings suggest that differences in sexual division of labor do not affect dietary wear patterns.
