Una visión de lo transnacional en la nueva narrativa latinoamericana: el microrelato colombiano, argentino y chileno

Leyton Beltrán, July January 2008 (has links)
El microrrelato aparece en un momento de reconocimiento del carácter transnacional de las literaturas latinoamericanas, surgiendo como apertura a una noción epistemológica posmoderna, que en Latinoamerica es el resultado de la globalización cultural, trayendo consigo la descomposición de los grandes relatos, ambientada desde la cuidad como cronotopo y desde el metalenguaje de la literatura misma, junto con la relectura reificante y paródica de las monumentales obras de tipo moderno. El microgénero literario obedece -e ironiza- a requerimientos mercantiles, a la brevedad y a la inmediatez de un mundo globalizado, que como el género cuentístico es parodiado. El microrrelato deriva de una proyección genérica que junto con el trasfondo social de la ciudad latinoamericana en estado de tránsito, intenta asimilar la convergencia de estratificaciones culturales, medios de comunicación tecnológicos y producciones artísticas eclécticas. El microgénero resulta de una necesidad comunicativa coherente con el estado de los medios de comunicación masivos, que actualmente utiliza el ciudadano latinoamericano, siendo de igual forma una respuesta que ironiza la tendencia del sujeto contemporáneo a consumir innumerable información en corto tiempo. El hecho de que este género literario sea de carácter multinominal, evidencia la crisis en la que nace y se desenvuelve, en medio de una ilusoria y radical distancia entre lo culto y lo popular, proponiendo una manera de resolver la pugna entre la escritura y la imagen inmediata. Elementos como la brevedad, la fragmentariedad, la intertextualidad, la inmediatez, propia de los medios electrónicos, modelan este nuevo género microliterario, llevado a su más mínima expresión en relación a su extensión, que paradójicamente conlleva a su más amplia significación.

Praktisk tillämpning av agil programutvecklingsmetodik : Utveckling av e-handelsapplikationen Shrt

Berglund, Daniel, Chen, Jessie, Genborg, Tobias, Gustafsson, Andreas, Kugelberg, Oskar, Ringertz, Svante, Zakrisson, Lilian January 2014 (has links)
Syftet med denna rapport är att beskriva arbetet kring utvecklingen av en webbapplikation för försäljning av t-shirts - Shrt - och utreda möjligheterna för att lansera varumärket på marknaden. Projektet utgick ifrån visionen ”att ge våra kunder verktygen som behövs för att uttrycka sin personlighet, genom mode som kunden själv designar, via webben”. Under projektet har utvecklingsmetodiken scrum använts tillsammans med andra verktyg som är vanliga vid agila projekt. Vid konkretisering av varumärket Shrt och dess produkt genomfördes brainwriting. För att skapa en produktbacklogg använde sig utvecklingsgruppen av arbetsmetoderna funktionsanalys, konceptdivergens, konceptutvärdering och prototyping. Funktionerna i produktbackloggen delades sedan in i kategorierna nödvändiga, önskvärda samt onödiga funktioner. Produktbackloggen låg sedan till grund för hur arbetet delades upp i tre olika sprintar med separata mål och redovisningar. Den första sprinten fokuserade på funktion, den andra på upplevelse för användaren och den tredje på underhåll samt förbättring av kod – refaktorering. Under slutet av utvecklingen genomfördes användartester utifrån Task-based scenarios där användaren får försöka utföra en uppgift utan instruktioner på hur den ska utföras.   Resultatet av projektet blev en webbapplikation med all funktionalitet som klassificerades som nödvändig och önskvärd. Detta var något som utvecklingsgruppen ansåg vara ett acceptabelt resultat. Om tiden för utveckling hade varit längre är det möjligt att ytterligare funktionalitet hade kunnat implementeras. Det hade säkerligen varit positivt för varumärket Shrt, som hade kunnat ge ett mer professionellt intryck för slutanvändaren.

Relays in Rebellion: The Power in Lilian Ngoyi and Fannie Lou Hamer

Freeman, Cathy LaVerne 10 August 2009 (has links)
This thesis compares how Lilian Ngoyi of South Africa and Fannie Lou Hamer of the United States crafted political identities and assumed powerful leadership, respectively, in struggles against racial oppression via the African National Congress and the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee. The study asserts that Ngoyi and Hamer used alternative sources of personal power which arose from their location in the intersecting social categories of culture, gender and class. These categories challenge traditional disciplinary boundaries and complicate any analysis of political economy, state power relations and black liberation studies which minimize the contributions of women. Also, by analyzing resistance leadership squarely within both African and North American contexts, this thesis answers the call of scholar Patrick Manning for a “homeland and diaspora” model which positions Africa itself within the historiography of transnational academic debates.

Lilian Westcott Hale and Nancy Hale: From Victorian to Modern in Art and Text

Lind, Norah Hardin 21 April 2010 (has links)
Lilian Westcott Hale (1880-1963) and her daughter Nancy Hale (1908-1988) built successful careers during a period of transition in America, as Victorian mores were replaced by new modern freedoms. Greater independence for women had evolved during the preceding century, before the influential cultural factors which occurred during the early twentieth century like urbanization and world war. This interdisciplinary analysis of Lilian Hale‘s artwork and Nancy Hale‘s writings demonstrates the imprint of the surrounding world on their work. Lilian Hale‘s art is influenced by her Victorian childhood, and Nancy Hale‘s fiction reveals many conflicts of the modern era. The study of these two women is enhanced by the wealth of primary documentation connecting their ideas and their lives to their artistic works. Both of the women ranked among the most respected in their fields during their lifetimes. Their works resonate with elements of their eras, demonstrating what it was to be a woman during the first half of the twentieth century. Lilian Westcott Hale and Nancy Hale both engage the gender constructs of their periods through their work. Lilian Westcott Hale‘s art is divided here into three distinct genres: her still lifes and landscapes express the confining environment the Victorian woman occupied; her idealized women reflect the period‘s taste for female perfection and beauty; her portraits and figure studies point to Hale‘s own distinction between males and females through their clothing and their poses. Unlike Lilian Westcott Hale, Nancy Hale demonstrates woman‘s new freedoms in an open manner, a result of the break with Victorianism. Hale‘s use of a literary medium allows her direct examination of the turmoil caused by the modern breakdown of Victorian structures. Lilian Westcott Hale refrains from harsh judgment of her daughter‘s world, while Nancy Hale‘s modern challenge of the previous era‘s standards leads her into troubling relationships and difficulties balancing her career with her personal life. Their work reveals the cultural ideologies of their respective eras and particularly the changes taking place for women.
