Friedrich Hölderlin en la obra de Luis Cernuda

Cernuda tradujo a Hölderlin sin saber alemán, sin ser traductor. La obra de Hölderlin apenas era conocida y casi no había sido editada en lengua española. ¿Cómo lo hizo? ¿Realmente influyó la obra del poeta alemán en su poesía, como él lo afirmaba? He aquí una aproximación a estas cuestiones

Recursos naturales y género. El caso de la comunidad Once de Mayo (Campeche, México)

Este estudio pretende realizar una aproximación al papel de la cooperación en el empoderamiento femenino sobre los recursos naturales en la comunidad rural mexicana Once de Mayo. Para ello se analizan las experiencias de doce participantes en proyectos destinados a mujeres utilizando como medios la historia de vida, la observación participativa y los talleres. De todo ello se desprende la importancia de que los programas y/o proyectos aborden las necesidades prácticas de las mujeres, vinculadas a su hogar, sin omitir sus necesidades estratégicas de género como elementos para el empoderamiento. Además, para el empoderamiento femenino a través de la cooperación es fundamental el desarrollo de actitudes de liderazgo por parte de alguna/as de las participantes y el propio interés de todas las involucradas en colaborar, además de sus experiencias previas de capacitación en diferentes temáticas.

Geografías familiares bajo la dictadura franquista: exilio, clandestinidad, prisión

Este texto ahonda en las geografías políticas, sociales y familiares de Aurèlia Pijoan, la primera mujer que, médico de profesión, ha accedido a un cargo de representación municipal en Lleida. Casada con Luis Pérez García-Lago –secretario general del PSUC y la UGT en la Lleida de los años trenta y posteriormente máximo responsable del partido en el exilio mejicano-, continuó su compromiso a través de la Unión de Mujeres Españolas de México de la que llegó a convertirse en secretaria general. El artículo pretende, a la vez que reflexionar sobre el diálogo que se establece entre recuerdo y olvido, hacer visible la historia de los sin historia a partir de un centro de gravedad concreto, puesto que los itinerarios personales y familiares de Aurèlia Pijoan permiten recorrer las diversas caras del universo represivo franquista: exilio,clandestinidad y prisión.

Yyes Bonnefoy et “Quelques remarques sur le XIXe siècle”

Es sabido que el siglo XIX ha constituido, para Y. Bonnefoy, un mástil fundamental: especialmente los poetas Nerval, Baudelaire, Rimbaud y Mallarmé, a quienes a dedicados numerosos artículos y libros. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar un estudio publicado por Bonnefoy, en 2001 (es decir cuando tiene ya casi ochenta años, al final de una vida plena) y que constituye una síntesis de su reflexión sobre la poesía del siglo XIX. Allí propone o bien una rectificación o bien una reafirmación de lo que, para el poeta de Tours, es lo “esencial” del siglo XIX. Seguidamente se intentará investigarlo.

Reconstructing native American migrations from whole-genome and whole-exome data.

There is great scientific and popular interest in understanding the genetic history of populations in the Americas. We wish to understand when different regions of the continent were inhabited, where settlers came from, and how current inhabitants relate genetically to earlier populations. Recent studies unraveled parts of the genetic history of the continent using genotyping arrays and uniparental markers. The 1000 Genomes Project provides a unique opportunity for improving our understanding of population genetic history by providing over a hundred sequenced low coverage genomes and exomes from Colombian (CLM), Mexican-American (MXL), and Puerto Rican (PUR) populations. Here, we explore the genomic contributions of African, European, and especially Native American ancestry to these populations. Estimated Native American ancestry is 48% in MXL, 25% in CLM, and 13% in PUR. Native American ancestry in PUR is most closely related to populations surrounding the Orinoco River basin, confirming the Southern American ancestry of the Taíno people of the Caribbean. We present new methods to estimate the allele frequencies in the Native American fraction of the populations, and model their distribution using a demographic model for three ancestral Native American populations. These ancestral populations likely split in close succession: the most likely scenario, based on a peopling of the Americas 16 thousand years ago (kya), supports that the MXL Ancestors split 12.2kya, with a subsequent split of the ancestors to CLM and PUR 11.7kya. The model also features effective populations of 62,000 in Mexico, 8,700 in Colombia, and 1,900 in Puerto Rico. Modeling Identity-by-descent (IBD) and ancestry tract length, we show that post-contact populations also differ markedly in their effective sizes and migration patterns, with Puerto Rico showing the smallest effective size and the earlier migration from Europe. Finally, we compare IBD and ancestry assignments to find evidence for relatedness among European founders to the three populations.

De "Paraules al vent" a "La Fàbrica": creació, evolució i publicació dels primers poearis de Miquel Martí i Pol

Aquest article té per objecte resseguir la trajectòria de creació i publicació dels primers llibres de Miquel Martí i Pol i mostrar el canvi d’orientació poètica de la seva obra a partir de 1957 i fins a 1961. El «canvi de rumb» experimentat, tal com l’anomenava el mateix autor, va comportar el trànsit de la introspecció dels primers reculls, inclosa l’evolució de la seva crisi religiosa, cap a la «poesia social» d’El poble i La fàbrica.

La Gastronomía de México: identidad cultural desvalorada en el ámbito del turismo mexicano

Los objetivos de este trabajo son, en primer lugar, determinar si la gastronomía mexicana es considerada como producto relevante dentro de la gama del turismo cultural ofertado por México al mundo. En segundo lugar, indicar el puesto ocupado por la gastronomía mexicana en el conjunto de elementos considerados como turismo cultural ofertado por México al mundo. Y en tercer lugar, dar a conocer el grado de utilización que tienen las páginas Web de turismo de las entidades federativas de México

Further insights in trichothiodistrophy: a clinical, microscopic, and ultrastructural study of 20 cases and literature review

Background: Trichothiodistrophy (TTD) is a rare autosomal recessive condition that is characterized by a specific congenital hair shaft dysplasia caused by deficiency of sulfur associated with a wide spectrum of multisystem abnormalities. In this article, we study clinical, microscopic, and ultrastructural findings of 20 patients with TTD with the aim to add further insights regarding to this rare condition. Additionally, analyses of our results are compared with those extracted from the literature in order to enhance its comprehensibility. Materials and Methods: Twenty cases of TTD were included: 7 from Mexico and 14 from Spain. Clinical, microscopic, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies and X-ray microanalysis (XrMa) were carried out in all of them. Genetic studies were performed in all seven Mexican cases. Patients with xeroderma pigmentosum and xeroderma pigmentosum/TTD-complex were excluded. Results: Cuticular changes and longitudinal crests of the hair shaft were demonstrated. These crests were irregular, disorganized, following the hair longest axis. Hair shaft sulfur deficiency was disposed discontinuously and intermittently rather than uniformly. This severe decrease of sulfur contents was located close to the trichoschisis areas. Only five patients did not show related disturbances. Micro-dolichocephaly was observed in five cases and represented the most frequent facial dysmorphism found. It is also remarkable that all patients with urologic malformations also combined diverse neurologic disorders. Moreover, three Mexican sisters demonstrated the coexistence of scarce pubic vellus hair, developmental delay, onychodystrophy, and maxillar/mandibullar hypoplasia. Conclusions: TTD phenotype has greatly varied from very subtle forms to severe alterations such as neurologic abnormalities, blindness, lamellar ichthyosis and gonadal malformations. Herein, a multisystem study should be performed mandatorily in patients diagnosed with TTD.
