Ficción de Racionalidad: La memoria como operador mítico en las estéticas polares de Jorge Luis Borges y José Lezama Lima

The aesthetic placement and period designation of Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) and José Lezama Lima (1910-1976) are complicated issues among critics. Borges is obviously considered a predecessor of the Latin American literary “boom,” but despite that taxonomy his work transcends that definition and provides a foundation for new trends and styles, such as the “neobarroco” cultivated by Severo Sarduy. Lezama is considered part of the second wave of the “boom,” but his work feeds, stylistically, from the Spanish baroque. At the same time, Lezama’s daring treatment of homoeroticism and his revolutionary system of images place him after the “boom” in a narrative style that is postmodern. This study undertakes a thorough revision of external and internal issues, revealing the key linguistic and fictive elements that characterize both writers. Through discourse analysis and close reading, a poetic system is formulated, which incorporate features of the “neobarroco,” “boom” and postmodern narrative styles. This dissertation uses a polar structure to analyze both poetic visions and concludes that they are compatible and symmetrical. From this perspective, Borges and Lezama belong to the “core” of literature that centers its emphasis in the creation of a system versus other modes of writing in which mimetic function prevails. By doing this and by recycling world culture, they create postmodern myth: the new building material for Hispanic American literature. There are only a few studies that explore the works of Borges and Lezama within the context of Baroque aesthetics. For the first time, this dissertation offers a comprehensive analysis that considers their poetic visions at large. Besides the difference in perspective, defined as macro-spatial in Borges and micro-spatial in Lezama, there are many similarities in content and form. Both writers question the cause and effect relationship and the modern use of metaphor. They also share a redefinition of genre as well as a hedonistic approach to literature and culture. This kinship in poetic vision is revealed through the polar method used for this study, which proposes a new form of aesthetic placement and period designation.

A invenção barroca de Jorge de Lima: uma leitura da obra Invenção de Orfeu

En esta disertación se examinan algunas cuestiones fundamentales para la comprensión de la obra Invenção de Orfeu del poeta alagoano Jorge de Lima. Para ello, elegimos analizar el barroquismo del poema, evidenciando algunas de sus principales características; estética de la paradoja; el género híbrido (épico-lírico); síntesis entre el antiguo mito de Orfeo y el mito cristiano de la Caída, en alegorías aproximadas; y la realización de la poesía como una utopía. Para realizar los diálogos propuestos con el objeto de estudio, hemos utilizado las herramientas teóricas de Walter Benjamin (1984), Eugenio D'Ors (sd), Severo Sarduy (1989 [?]), Oswald de Andrade (2011).

A ADESÃO PENTECOSTAL DE BANDIDOS E EX-BANDIDOS – UM ESTUDO SOBRE RELIGIÃO E PERIFERIA NA FAVELA DO JARDIM SÃO JORGE EM CIDADE ADEMAR - SP

A dissertação preocupou-se em analisar as relações de bandidos e ex-bandidos com o pentecostalismo na Assembleia de Deus Fortificada em Cristo (ADFEC), situada na favela Jardim São Jorge, periferia da Cidade Ademar, região Sul da capital de São Paulo. Interessou-nos compreender as interações desses agentes e de qual maneira a igreja desempenhou seu trabalho em um espaço pentecostal. A pesquisa, teve como objetivo fundamental, examinar as aproximações da criminalidade e o pentecostalismo indicando suas rupturas e características peculiares. O trabalho de campo se dedicou em coletar dados que comprovassem atuação da ADFEC juntos aos agentes do crime, e em que medida a filiação religiosa dos agentes ganhava importância. Por fim, buscamos refletir sobre a adesão de bandidos e ex-bandidos ao pentecostalismo e a influência dessa adesão no cotidiano da comunidade.

Dos perspectivas modernas del infierno dantesco en la poesía de Jorge Luis Borges y Amelia Biagioni

A setecientos cincuenta años del nacimiento de Dante Alighieri (1265-1321), el trabajo se propone cotejar la representación dantesca del Infierno con textos poéticos de Jorge Luis Borges y de Amelia Biagioni. El infierno dantesco presenta múltiples correlaciones con el mundo ultraterreno virgiliano, aunque construido en clave medieval. A su vez, las palabras introductorias de Borges anticipan la vigencia del clásico florentino en la literatura argentina. El texto medieval actúa como disparador de múltiples variaciones interpretativas en ambos poetas del siglo XX quienes construyen otros ?infiernos?, más acordes a corrientes filosóficas contemporáneas. Se realizará un análisis del poema borgiano ?Del Infierno y del cielo? (1942), teniendo en cuenta el paulatino interés que en esos años expresa el escritor por la Commedia del escritor medieval. Amelia Biagioni en su poemario ?El Humo? (1967), retoma los versos dantescos y construye asimismo otro infierno, un infierno personal, cerrado e íntimo que desintegra al sujeto, aniquilándolo. El cotejo de ambos escritores argentinos con Dante, pone en tensión dialógica perspectivas muy diferentes como receptores y poetas de diversas épocas históricas.

Women’s football. Notes for a social history of women’s sport in Spain, 1900-1936

In the context of demands by the European feminist movement at the beginning of the 20th century, in Spain women’s sport flagged up aspirations to what were considered to be male practices. The first experiences of women in football stand out because of their use of the media to appear as a symbol of social transformation to modernity in the 20th century. It was not in vain that women’s football highlighted the demands of the feminist movements, although it did come up against male disapproval from an opposing group. The research sets out from a bibliographical and media review of specialist press and sports news of the time. Other current studies have also been considered in order to place it in a social and historical focus on sport. This has enabled us to highlight that football in Spain was established as an unequivocal space for (re) producing male hegemony where women were relegated to the representation of a symbolic ritual in a scenario of accessory and condescension.

La utopía de Manrique: el paisaje reinventado y la apropiación turística

[ES]César Manrique se inspiró en la arquitectura popular y el paisaje de Lanzarote para "construir" un modelo territorial utópico diferenciado y con personalidad propia del resto de destinos de turísticos.

Guía de aplicación de la NIC 11 contratos de construcción con el caso práctico: Restauración del graderío sur del estadio municipal de Azogues, Jorge Andrade Cantos por el período 2007-2008

La presente investigación consistió en diseñar una estructura para el procesamiento de información contable del área de la construcción, proveyendo además de una herramienta útil para la toma de decisiones, con el objeto de minimizar y controlar los costos e incrementar la rentabilidad al término del proyecto; reforzándola mediante el manejo de material bibliográfico como: libros, revistas, tesis, CDS, apuntes e internet. A través de la aplicación de este tema se logrará dotar de un sistema contable que facilite un correcto análisis e interpretación de la información para la acertada toma de decisiones. Es así que durante el desarrollo del trabajo se necesitará contar con una comprensión clara de lo que constituye el contrato para la fabricación de un activo o un conjunto de activos, que están íntimamente relacionados entre sí o son interdependientes en términos de su diseño, tecnología y función, o bien en relación con su último destino o utilización (Contrato de Construcción) y de la lista de cuentas que definen la información de la obra, de acuerdo al detalle que se utilice, dependiendo de la complejidad del proyecto (Plan de Cuentas).
