El retrato modernista ecuatoriano: simbolismo, mujer y exotismo en Abelardo (1895), de Eudófilo Álvarez (Dossier: La novela ecuatoriana del siglo XIX)

Abelardo (1895) es una novela enmarcada en el Modernismo literario hispanoamericano tanto por sus influencias del simbolismo francés, como de los planteamientos estéticos del movimiento modernista. El sueño y el influjo de este en la vida terrena del narrador-personaje, la transformación de la imagen de la mujer frágil y virginal en la mujer fatal, el exotismo puesto en la mirada sobre lo indígena, lo campesino y los mitos homéricos, y la representación idealizada de la actitud modernista en el héroe de la novela, son algunos de los rasgos que caracterizan a la obra de Eudófilo Álvarez.

Cultural influences on body dissatisfaction, body change behaviours and disordered eating of Japanese adolescents

We administered a paper-and-pencil questionnaire to 133 female and 99 male Japanese high school students 13–18 years old (M = 15.9, SD = 1.57) from the Kansai area to examine cultural influences on their body image and body change behaviours. Our aim was to ascertain the independent and combined influences from traditional Japanese, modern Japanese, and Western values. Cluster analyses identified four ‘acculturative’ groups: ‘anti-modern’, ‘traditional’, ‘pro-modern/anti-traditional’, and ‘pro-Western/anti-Japanese’. Pro-modern and pro-Western adolescents were most dissatisfied with their bodies, and pro-Western adolescents were also most likely to attempt weight loss. The results demonstrate the value of assessing cultural interactions in Japan along three dimensions.
