The object of our diploma thesis was Jewish memory and identity in contemporary Italian literature. The work is divided into two parts. The first theoretical part in its historical introduction which deals with the Shoah in Europe. This will be a brief introduction to the european situation. The work continues by introducing more specific roots of anti-Semitism in Italy, its continuation until 1945 and describes the situation after 1945. In the next chapter, we will reflect about the relationship between memory and literature. What are the processes discussed and what is the relationship of memory and the Shoah. After that, we will also mention the complexity of Jewish identity and on her way how it is perceived. The next chapter will present medallions of individual authors whose works will be devoted to the practical part. The second practical part is divided into two main chapters. The first is devoted to the search for identity in three works by Alessandro Piperno- Con le peggiori Intenzion Elena Loewenthal- Lo strappo nell'anima and Silvia Ballestra- La seconda Dora. The second main chapter is devoted to tendencies that prevail in the individual authors - forgetting vs. remembering. The chapter is divided into two subsections that address specific perspective 2nd and 3rd generation. Separately...

Diploma thesis deals with the implementation of LTE Cat-M1 technology in simulator NS--3 (Network Simulator 3). The theoretical part of the thesis summarizes key terms concerning IoT (Internet of Things), M2M (Machine-to-Machine) communication, LTE (Long Term Evolution) and LPWA (Low-Power Wide Area) networks. The practical part summarizes the possibilities of currently available modules for cellular technologies for NS-3, ie. the LENA module and the subsequent extension of LENA+ and ELENA. Simulation scenarios offer a comparison of LTE/LTE-A and LTE Cat-M1 (also known as eMTC - enhanced Machine Type Communication) technologies for M2M communication. The results of the simulations are well-arranged in the form of graphs and discussed at the end of the thesis.

La representación de las mujeres políticas en los medios de comunicación influye en la percepción de la sociedad sobre el rol y las capacidades de estas para ejercer funciones públicas. La presente investigación tiene como objetivo contribuir al análisis de esta representación en un medio de comunicación periodístico peruano. Para ello, se ha seleccionado a dos mujeres que asumieron un rol protagónico en dos periodos distintos de la historia del Perú: María Elena Moyano Delgado (1991 - 1992) y Verónika Mendoza Frisch (2016). Bajo las teorías del discurso (Foucault, 1970); análisis crítico del discurso (Van Dijk, 1999); representación (Hall, 1997); liderazgo (Morales y Cuadrado, 2011); estereotipos de género (Sau, 1993); y desarrollo de la planificación de género (Moser, 1995), se ha pretendido indagar cómo es que la coyuntura política, el género y la ideología política influyen en la representación que se hace en el medio de comunicación “La República” sobre dos mujeres con roles políticos protagónicos. Este análisis se realiza de forma comparativa entre ambos sujetos de estudio. Se ha implementado una metodología mixta secuencial que permite identificar los elementos principales en torno a la representación (cuantitativo) para seguidamente profundizar en torno a estos (cualitativo). En conclusión, los resultados evidencian que los perfiles de liderazgo de ambas mujeres se construyen asumiendo roles más masculinos hasta cierto punto, frente a la necesidad de destacar entre los demás para hacerse escuchar. Al mismo tiempo, estos perfiles se ven influenciados por puntos de partida distintos: una desde un espacio barrial de la mano de organizaciones de mujeres y la otra como representante de una coalición política que aspira a llegar al sillón presidencial. / The representation of women politicians in the media influences the perception of society about their role and capacities to exercise public functions. The present research aims to contribute to the analysis of this representation in a journalistic communication medium. Two women have been selected who assumed a leading role in two different periods of Peruvian history: María Elena Moyano Delgado (1991 - 1992) and Verónika Mendoza Frisch (2016). Under the theories of discourse (Foucault, 1970); critical discourse analysis (Van Dijk, 1999); representation (Hall, 1997); leadership (Morales and Cuadrado, 2011); gender stereotypes (Sau, 1993); and development of gender planning (Moser, 1995), it has been tried to investigate how the political context, gender and political ideology influence the representation that is made in the media "La República" about two women with political leading roles. This analysis is carried out in a comparative way between both study subjects. A mixed sequential methodology has been implemented that makes it possible to identify the main elements around representation (quantitative) and then delve into these (qualitative). In conclusion, The results show that the leadership profiles of both women are built assuming more masculine roles to a certain extent, faced with the need to stand out from others to make themselves heard. At the same time, these profiles are influenced by different starting points: one from a neighborhood space in the hands of women's organizations and the other as a representative of a political coalition that aspires to reach the presidential seat.

This thesis studies the impact of the work of Elena Jordi during the first Spanish avant-garde period (1890-1920) and the relationship between the myth of Thaïs and her homonymous film released in 1918. Here I track the trajectory of her career from its beginnings to culmination, when she directed Thaïs while leading an innovative vaudeville theatre company. The first chapter discusses the activity of Jordi as a Catalan actress, and woman entrepreneur in vaudeville. It analyzes the effect of the introduction of foreign vaudevilles on the reception of her work by critics through the theorization of Herni Gidel´s on vaudeville as genre. The second chapter reviews the cinematographic work of Jordi and situates it within the context of Catalan cinema´s early development as Spain´s first woman film director. After reflecting about the possible cultural influences that informed Jordi’s Thaïs, I explore the literary origins of the Legend of the Saint, an hagiography of Greek origins, and review relevant literary, operatic, and cinematic productions that incorporated this myth during the early Spanish avant-garde period. My conclusion highlights the original and similar features of Elena Jordi and Thaïs in their respective fields and different manifestations, simultaneously placing Jordi’s Thaïs in dialogue with the myth´s resurrection and its impact on the avant-garde feminist milieu. This demonstrates the formative influence of both Jordi as a pioneering artist and the enduring cultural influence of the myth of Thais on twentieth-century cultural production.

La presente tesis analiza de qué manera Claudia Piñeiro en las obras Elena sabe (2007) y Catedrales (2020) incorpora temas vinculados con el feminismo a través de la transgresión de las normas clásicas del policial. Por medio de personajes femeninos, la autora rompe con los parámetros convencionales del género, lo cual propicia que se realice una reflexión sobre el tema de la mujer en la sociedad patriarcal contemporánea. Asimismo, esta investigación tiene como finalidad valorizar la obra de Piñeiro como autora de obras policiales, pues durante muchos años, este género ha sido liderado por hombres a nivel mundial. Por ello, resulta de suma importancia analizar qué recursos literarios emplea la autora para transgredir la narración convencional del policial. Por otro lado, la hipótesis que propongo es que si bien Elena sabe y Catedrales presentan características propias de la llamada “novela negra”, en realidad transgreden el género discursivo, ya que la investigación policial es menos relevante que la problematización sobre la condición femenina, el aborto, los feminicidios y la figura de la mujer en la sociedad del siglo XXI. A pesar de que la resolución del caso policial es menos trascendente que los temas de feminismo, resulta importante observar de qué modo la obra de Piñeiro se ha visto influenciada por los autores más canónicos del género policial, tanto ingleses, americanos e hispanos, y ver qué nuevas herramientas literarias utiliza la autora, las cuales representan un gran aporte que ayuda a que el neopolicial latinoamericano siga evolucionando.

This thesis sets out to investigate the development of the recent historical novel in Mexico by examining a corpus of five novels. Elena Garro’s 'Los recuerdos del porvenir' (1963) represents the final point of the novel of the Revolution and it is the link with the recent historical novel. Carlos Fuentes’ 'Terra Nostra' (1975) and Fernando del Paso’s 'Noticias del Imperio' (1978) belong to the group containing the postmodern historical novel. 'Terra Nostra' summarizes all the concerns of postmodernism and can be considered as a paradigm of this current of thought. 'Noticias del Imperio' seeks a reconciliation between history and literature in an attempt to get closer to the historical truth. Paco Ignacio Taibo II’s 'La lejanía del Tesoro' (1992) is a representative novel in the way it melds history with the mystery novel, developing the genre of the historical thriller. Lastly, Rosa Beltrán’s 'La corte de los ilusos' (1995), and in particular its treatment of history is pertinent to this thesis due to the fact that women have been traditionally silenced by official history. This novel gives them a voice. From its beginnings, the historical novel confronted the problem of being questioned for its lack of accuracy when dealing with the past. This skepticism sparked a long lasting debate that initially degraded the historical novel as secondary genre that could never contribute to historical knowledge. However, as a result of recent theories that seek to defend the poetic nature of history, a theory developed initially by Hayden White, the recent historical novel has sought to debunk historiography’s claim to be the only possible way to recount the past. This thesis advances the theory that the recent historical novel in Mexico is the result of a search for a genuine identity, as well as a quest to develop an alternative, yet truthful, interpretation of a past whose true nature has been distorted by decades of historical officialdom. This process is seen in a context of increasing democratisation and globalisation.

La presente tesis tiene dos objetivos generales. Primero, analizar la estructura de poder que se ha instituido en los espacios agrícolas costeños articulados a las dinámicas del capital agroindustrial. A continuación, examinar de qué manera el primer fenómeno ha transformado la organización de la economía agrícola local; específicamente, los impactos sobre la apropiación de la tierra y el trabajo agrícola. Para desarrollar estos dos objetivos, abordamos el caso del Centro Poblado Santa Elena, provincia de Virú, departamento de La Libertad; espacio agrícola histórico que ha intensificado su articulación productiva a las agroindustrias de caña de azúcar y alcachofa en los últimos diez años. La metodología usada ha sido cualitativa y etnográfica, por lo que no pretende generalizar ni representar sino aprehender ‘desde dentro’ y profundizar en el tejido de relaciones de poder y económicas que son estructura de este nuevo periodo. Nuestra principal conclusión es que los nuevos capitales agroindustriales han constituido un sistema de dominación sobre la actividad agrícola, que ha generado radicales cambios en las lógicas de reproducción de los actores locales en el espacio y en el tiempo. Resaltan, sobre todo, las nuevas dinámicas de exclusión del acceso y producción de la tierra, y de expansión del mercado de trabajo agrícola. En ese sentido, esta tesis invita a una reflexión posterior sobre los nuevos procesos de diferenciación y desigualdad que vienen tomando lugar a nivel local en un contexto de consolidación de nuevos latifundios agrícolas. / Tesis

This essay focuses on the cultural aspects of translation, mainly on the cultural-specific elements known as realia, when translating from Italian to Swedish. As the realia might be unknown to the reader of the target text and as they often have no exact correspondence in the target language, they often pose a challenge for the translator. The essay examines which strategies the translator has used to translate cultural-specific elements and the question is raised whether the translation, regarding the cultural aspects, is orientated towards the source culture (adequacy-orientated) or towards the target culture (acceptability-orientated). Three of the Neapolitan Novels written by pseudonymous Elena Ferrante, Storia del nuovo cognome (2012), Storia di chi fugge e di chi resta (2013) and Storia della bambina perduta (2014), serve as source text of the analysis. The Neapolitan setting of the novels make them specifically suitable for a study of cultural-specific elements. The study is qualitative and complemented with a quantitative part. It is based on Osimo’s (2011) strategies for the translation of realia. The analysis reveals that cultural-specific elements of the source text tend to be replaced with more generic and international expressions. Prioritizing the narrative over cultural-specific elements the translation shows a tendency towards acceptability.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Dance appears often in Anglophone Caribbean literature, usually when a character chooses to celebrate and emphasize her/his freedom from the physical, emotional, and societal constraints that normally keep the body in check. This study examines how a character's political consciousness often emerges in chorus with aesthetic bodily movement and analyzes the symbolic force and political significance of Caribbean dance--both celebratory (as in Carnival) and defensive (as in warrior dances). Furthermore, this study observes how the weight of Western views on dance influences Caribbean transmutations and translations of cultural behavior, ritual acts, and spontaneous movement. The novels studied include Samuel Selvon's "The Lonely Londoners" (1956), Earl Lovelace's "The Dragon Can't Dance" (1979), Paule Marshall's "Praisesong for the Widow" (1983), and Marie-Elena John's "Unburnable" (2006).
