The present paper is based on the concept of intersemiotic translation coined by Jakobson and its application to translations from text into illustrations. On this basis, the paper seeks to establish a model of analysis that relies on Leuven-Zwart’s comparative model and applies some of its tenets to intersemiotic translation processes. The framework suggested here firstly splits both text and illustration into small units of meaning that will facilitate an ensuing contrast between them. This comparison will lead to a second stage where possible shifts of meaning will be spotted and analyzed. It is expected that the results of this stage will help determine the dynamics between a text and its corresponding illustration. Eventually, the aforementioned analytical model will be tested on a series of illustrations from two different picture books: Titch and A Couple of Boys Have the Best Week Ever.

María Moreno (1947) es una de las escritoras feministas más interesantes y aclamadas literariamente del panorama argentino actual. Vinculada a los movimientos feministas desde finales de los años setenta y al movimiento LGTBI+, ha emprendido una lucha dialéctica en sus crónicas y artículos contra el pensamiento moral y patriarcal del tiempo que le ha tocado vivir. Su libro Panfleto. Erótica y feminismo (2018) es una recopilación de textos publicados en periódicos y revistas a lo largo de cuarenta años, en ellos reflexiona sobre la diferencia sexual, la pornografía, la literatura erótica y el feminismo. En este artículo rastrearemos los planteamientos feministas de María Moreno, en cuanto a su defensa de una construcción propia del deseo femenino, así como del deseo homosexual y transgénero, placeres subalternos que han sido negados por el patriarcado, en una vindicación y conquista de nuevos goces que jadean en los márgenes. María Moreno (1947) is one of the most interesting and acclaimed feminist writers on the Argentine scene today. Linked to the feminist movements since the end of the seventies and to the LGTBI+ movement, she has undertaken a dialectical struggle in her chronicles and articles against the moral and patriarchal thinking of the time she has lived through. Her book Panfleto. Erotica y feminismo (2018) is a compilation of texts published in newspapers and magazines over forty years, in which she reflects on sexual difference, pornography, erotic literature and feminism. In this article we will trace the feminist approaches of Maria Moreno, in terms of her defense of a construction of feminine desire, as well as of homosexual and transgender desire, subaltern pleasures that have been denied by the patriarchy, in a vindication and conquest of new pleasures that pant on the margins.

The following article explains the contributions of the Chilean casino industry to the regional development and the municipal rents which, from 2005. It shows the median contribution of these companies to the regional rents of a country with a centralized form of government, but significant for the municipalities of the regions closed to Santiago. Also, it reveals the creation of direct employment and the benefits it brings to new hotels and for the access to shows in regions with deficient touristic development. The analysis of interviews to local actors, located in the southern central zone, corroborated that, along with the assessment to infrastructure and incomes, the industry is criticized due to the scant coordination between public regional and municipal agencies in the generation of touristic clusters. Some recommendations are made for the Chilean case in terms of improving tax collections, achieving convergence in relation to municipal contributions and enhancing accountability and its impact towards touristic-productive dynamism.

Se describen algunos sentidos filosóficos de lo oculto; (a) como lo encubierto, (b) como lo marginal y, (c) como lo débil, para, en un horizonte que los subsuma, colocar de manera reflexiva, crítica y poscolonial una serie de palabras vinculadas a la psique y al ser en sus entornos culturales. Tendré presentes, sobre todo, a dos de estos entornos: (1) el entorno náhuatl, tan bien circunscrito por Miguel León-Portilla; y (2) el entorno que con su obra circunscribe Martin Heidegger. De aquel, La Filosofía Náhuatl, de este último, Seminarios de Zollikon. Ambos entornos constituirán el doble horizonte de palabras en los cuales querríamos aquí calibrar un sentido filosófico para la palabra alma (sea psique o sea yollotl). Palabras y culturas: alma y ser. En efecto, aunque se trate, con respecto al ser, de atributos metafísicos propios, estos tendrán que saberse y abrirse a regiones no andadas dada la diversidad y especificidad simultáneas de una global multiculturalidad poscolonial. Sólo preparamos posteriores análisis, tanto a Los seminarios de Zollikon de Martin Heidegger, como a La filosofía Náhuatl de Miguel León-Portilla, de ahí que hablemos de prolegomena. Desde su propio ocultamiento y hasta silencio, ambas obras nos hicieron andar lo hasta ahora andado.

Contrastive linguistics deals with synchronic comparisons of linguistic systems. Following such concept of contrastivity, this article aims at demonstrating the potentials of a contrastive cartography on three speech levels: (1) the technical language of cartography; (2) everyday speech of the users of cartographic products; (3) cartographic sign language. Approaches on contrastive research on each of this three levels will be introduced in a rather descriptive way on the basis of empirical sample data in English, German and Spanish. Furthermore, the evaluative and normative potentials of contrastive comparison ranging from definition of terms to cartographic design guidelines shall be outlined.

The German pronunciation of <ä> as [æ] shows great variation and is one of the main theoretical challenges in German vocalism. This situation points to a case of sound change in progress. According to Dressler's (1972) theory of lexical fading, fluctuation occurs when a phoneme is disappearing. The recessive phoneme fades away slowly and gradually, not only from the lexicon, but also from individuals. Accordingly, [æ] is disappearing from the lexicon. To illustrate the fading path of the [æ] pronunciation a reading aloud test was developed, containing lexemes with lexically (Käse 'cheese'), phonologically (Bären 'Bears' vs. Beeren 'berries') and morphologically (Bällchen 'little ball' or Väter 'fathers') motivated <ä> graphemes. 33 subjects, all L1-German speakers with a DaF background, were recorded reading aloud and their <ä>-productions were analyzed auditorily. The main finding was that the [æ]- pronunciation is more resistant to fading when it fulfills either a semantic function, as in the case of minimal pairs, or a morphological function, for instance, when it serves as a signal of a morphological category, as in Bällchen, or is itself the main signal, as in Väter.

The primary objective of the present paper is to describe the use of qualitative methodologies in public mental health as practiced by the Faculty of Medicine at the National University Autonomous of Mexico. Starting from describing our teaching experiences with qualitative methodologies at the masters and doctoral levels, this paper also includes a series of reflections and concerns in relation to the difficulties instructors and students have when proposing qualitative approaches to the practice of public mental health and the topics students choose to study. From these reflections we conclude that one of the most important challenges is to develop high quality and rigorous qualitative research in order to establish it as a respected methodological approach in the study of public mental health.

Der vorliegende Beitrag ist ein kulturwissenschaftlicher Didaktisierungsvorschlag, der darauf abzielt, Erinnerungsorte zum Thema Migration in Form von Gedichten zu behandeln. Mit unserem Ansatz möchten wir über die Multiperspektivierung des Phänomens der Migration bzw. der Mehrdeutigkeit des Begriffs Heimweh reflektieren. Dies wird durch die Interaktion zwischen dem Text, dem Lesevorgang und der LernerInnenerfahrung ermöglicht und vertieft. Diese Reflexion soll den Studierenden und/oder Lernenden dabei helfen, Kultur als nicht mehr statisch und homogen wahrzunehmen. Das Kulturphänomen der Migration ist heterogen und durch Unabhängigkeit vom Land, von der Vielfältigkeit und der Vielschichtigkeit gekennzeichnet. Dies zu erkennen resultiert in einer Horizonterweiterung. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
