Durante los años sesenta y setenta, el gobierno de Fidel Castro persiguio a los intelectuales y homosexuales de la isla. Bajo la teoria del hombre nuevo de Che Guevara, el gobierno cubano trato de homogeneizar la sociedad, persiguiendo y reinsertando a todos aquellos que no se asemejaban a esta imagen viril y productiva del hombre. A traves de la novela de ficcion Otra vez el mar, Reinaldo Arenas ofrece el testimonio sobre su situacion de rechazado en su propio pais, escondiendose detras de su protagonista Hector. Este, un escritor homosexual, se autocensura y oculta su vertiente homosexual imaginando una vida respetable de hombre casado con hijo, a fin de integrarse en la sociedad cubana. Esta negacion de su propia identidad y persona acaba destruyendo al personaje, quien se suicida al final de la novela. Muchas veces la critica ha rechazado la obra de ficcion como parte del genero testimonio, argumentando que los elementos ficcionales se contraponen al caracter testimonial. No obstante, varios criticos no estan de acuerdo con esta afirmacion y consideran que la ficcion enriquece la realidad. De este modo, demostrare que hay otra posible manera de interpretar esos testimonios novelados, recordando la teoria de la novela testimonial frente a la novela-testimonio del critico Abdeslam Azougarh.

La novela-testimonio ha sido desde siempre un género literario híbrido y difícil de definir. En este trabajo, empezaré destacando los rasgos principales e imprescindibles de este tipo de novela y trataré a la vez el tema polémico de la aceptación o no de la ficción en el mismo. En la segunda parte del estudio, me detendré en el análisis de la primera novela del escritor cubano Reinaldo Arenas Celestino antes del alba dentro de un contexto testimonial y aclararé cuál es su lugar dentro del género testimonio. The documentary novel has always been considered as a hibrid literary genre difficult to define. The first part of this article will emphasize its main and essential characteristics and, at the same time, address the polemic topic of the acceptance or not of the fiction in it. The second part of the study is an analysis of the first novel of the Cuban writer Reinaldo Arenas, Singing from the well, within the context of the documentary novel.

This paper considers the staging of violence, atrocities, and sexuality in the conduct of the war on terror. The piece discusses the manner in which the terms of the war on terror appear to shut down possible debate and examines the rhetorical and representational strategies that cause this. The paper argues that the war on terror includes a cultural project that seeks to create a consenting global audience. This cultural project appears more diffuse and less immediately instrumental than the military and diplomatic activities of this global battle. The piece argues that it is through the circulation of open secrets and accounts of torture and abuse that a global audience is constructed as both witness and participant in the practices and objectives of the war and that this positioning is designed to corral audience understanding into the suggested narratives of the proponents of the war. Este documento considera el escenario de la violencia, las atrocidades y la sexualidad en la conducta de la guerra contra el terror. El artículo plantea la manera en que los términos de la guerra contra el terror parecen suspender un posible debate y examina las estrategias retóricas y representativas que causaron esto. El documento plantea que la guerra contra el terror incluye un proyecto cultural que busca crear una audiencia global de común acuerdo. Este proyecto cultural parece más difuso y menos útil en el momento, que las actividades militares y diplomáticas de esta batalla global. El artículo sostiene que es mediante la circulación de secretos abiertos y de informes sobre la tortura y el abuso, que se forma una audiencia global tanto testigos como participantes de las prácticas y los objetivos de la guerra y que esa posición está designada a encerrar el conocimiento de la audiencia dentro de los relatos sugeridos por los proponentes de guerra.

Purpose According to the 2014 joint report drafted by the Quality Assurance Agency and Higher Education Academy (QAA/HEA), universities have a key role to play in the development of sustainability literate graduates who can contribute to an environmentally responsible society. In this paper, the authors aim to assess language students’ understanding of sustainable development (SD) issues. Design/methodology/approach Study 1 surveys two cohorts of final year language students about to enter the graduate job market, and Study 2 surveys first year language students before and after the inclusion of SD content in one of their modules. The questions to the students are provided along with qualitative and quantitative results. Findings Results suggest that only 48% of language graduates are currently aware that they will need to take account of the environmental impact of their work as professional practitioners, and 52% do not consider it appropriate to learn about SD during their degree. However, results also suggest that incorporating SD early on in the language curriculum could contribute positively to the development of sustainability literate graduates. Originality/value While many language departments are aware of the importance of integrating sustainability into their curricula, and while employers are increasingly demanding sustainability literate graduates, there is little evidence that language students leave university with a real understanding of sustainability issues. This paper presents evidence of the current situation as well as a novel way to integrate sustainability into the language curriculum in order to remedy the situation.
