Women, Portuguese culture and Diaspora : Women from Goa in New Zealand and cultural adaptation

New Zealand is a nation of Migrants. Immigrants have played a significant role in the country’s economic growth and cultural development. With a population of four million people, New Zealand’s population is becoming increasingly culturally diverse. Almost one in five New Zealanders were born overseas, rising to one in three in its largest city, Auckland. Asians are the fastest growing ethnic group, increasing by around 140% since 1996. Indians account for 1.2% of the population (Statistics New Zealand, 2002). The Goan community in New Zealand is relatively small and its size is not formally recorded, however, anecdotally it appears to have grown to over 200 families in the Auckland area, with most arriving after 1996. For women who migrate, loneliness and isolation have been identified as the most ‘glaring’ experience and this is intensified by the loss of extended family networks when they migrate to a country where nuclear families are the norm (Leckie, 1995). The creation of new networks and maintenance of prior networks in new ways is crucial to the successful settlement and integration into a new country. This paper reports on how Goan, Indian women in Auckland, New Zealand used specific strategies to manage the adjustment to living in a new country. The findings reveal that participants used a variety of skills to settle in New Zealand such as cultivating a “can do” attitude, obtaining support and learning. These skills enabled them to move beyond their own culture and begin to take active part in New Zealand culture. However, this process was not immediate and the participants passed through a number of stages along a continuum of settlement and integration. These stages will be discussed below and situated within a body of literature.

Marginal cell density in young and old CBA/J and CBA/CAJ mice

The goal of the present study was to compare aging characteristics of the cochlear lateral wall in inbred mouse strains (CBA/J and CBA/CaJ) having very different endocochlear potential (EP)-versus-age profiles to see which anatomic differences might predict their EP differences.

Humberto Salvador: una escritura marginal en la vanguardia de la narrativa latinoamericana del siglo XX

Revisa y reflexiona la obra vanguardista del escritor ecuatoriano Humberto Salvador, que se gesta a finales de la década del 20 y los primeros años del 30, y que básicamente se expresa en los libros como Ajedrez (cuentos); En la ciudad he perdido un anovela (novela), y Taza de té (cuentos). A más de releer su obra, se examina su contexto, irrupción de la "Generación del 30", y se establece cómo esos textos de renovación que afirman el proceso de fundación de la nueva literatura ecuatoriana, despúes de haber merecido algunas apreciaciones críticas muy entusiasta, sobre todo desde el extranjero, y otras desdeñosas emitidas en el país, de pronto caen en un silecio total, a tal grado que Salvador sólo es considerado en la historiografía literaria nacional como el autor de novelas como Camarada (1933) y Trabajadores (1935) a las que erróneamente, sobre todo la segunda, se las ubica dentro de la estética del "realismo socialista", con el que Salvador no se involucra. Esas novelas son parte de un "realismo integral", según la definición de Joaquín Gallegos Lara, que afirma la tendencia del llamado realismo social de los 30. En este trabajo, a más de comentar y analizar lo que sucedía con la vanguardia en Ecuador y América Latina, se plantea una recuperación de esos tres libros vanguardistas, dentro de una interpretación que los resignifica en lo que es la "ruptura de la tradición", sobre la que tienen enorme incidencia; a la vez que se fijan algunas claves de su "inquietante modernidad", al decir de Benjamín Carrión, respecto a la obra de un autor ineludible a la hora de considerar lo que esa otra vertiente de la vanguardia, que en solitario ha encabezado Pablo Palacio desde su recuperación operada en la década de los 60, y que por igual encarna la obra salvadoriana desde una línea distinta que enriquece y amplía la inaugurada por el lojano. Obra, la de Salvador, muy marcada por las luces del psicoanálisis (freudismo) y el marxismo, de enorme influencia en los autores del 30. Hay que destacar en este escritor -¿síntoma de su pertubadora modernidad?- su papel, también, como pionero en el estudio y divulgación del freudismo en Ecuador y Latinoamérica con su estudio, para la época desacralizador, titulado Esquema sexual (1933).
