Stowe’s enslaved revolutionaries assert that the natural right to freedom guaranteed in the Declaration of Independence College-Level Spanish Programs in the Fight for Social and Racial Justice: Intercultural Communication and Content-Based Instruction Initiatives Given the prominence of Spanish and presence of Spanish-speakers in the United States, Spanish programs are in a unique position to provide U.S. college students with genuine intercultural communication opportunities both inside and outside the classroom. The authors justify the importance of intercultural communication, outline the learning objectives of intercultural communication, present strategies to implement them, and address current challenges for successfully integrating intercultural communication into spaces of higher learning.
Decadent Feminism: Mentorship in Jane de La Vaudère’s Les Demi-sexes (1897) Les Demi-sexes tells the story of Camille de Luzac, who has her ovaries removed in order to be free from the fear of pregnancy, thereby becoming part of an exclusive group of women recruited by a formidable mentor, Nina, who believes that women should be able to opt out of motherhood and explore their sexuality to the fullest. The novel mirrors Camille’s process of self-discovery, with part I devoted to Nina’s principles, part II to Camille’s implementation of them, and part III to the consequences of her decision to reject them. What may seem to be defeat for Camille in the conclusion is instead decisive proof of her agency. My analysis of the mentoring relationship argues for adding Decadent Feminism to an already extensive taxonomy of feminisms.
The “Strange Graft” and “Sumptuous Garden” of Marilyn Chin’s Revenge of the Mooncake Vixen Marilyn Chin’s Revenge of the Mooncake Vixen, an innovative contemporary American text, acts as a kind of literary palimpsest that inspires an ecocritical lens. Drawing on Zapf ’s premise of how literature is compared to an ecological force, I examine the role of nature, specifically the magical real manifestations of the natural world, and how it might shed light on reading race as an ecological force.
The Intersection of Gender, Disability and Social Status in Nadia Hashimi’s The Pearl that Broke its Shell Relying on the concept of “intersectionality,” this research explores the intersection of gender, disability, and social status in Hashimi’s novel set in Afghanistan of both the turn of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, two periods known for intermittent foreign interference in Afghanistan. Hashimi gives voice to ordinarily voiceless Afghan women, some of whom are disabled, others from a poor background or both. Intersectionality operates on multiple intertwining levels: gender, class, disability, and race.
El desarrollo no lineal y caótico de las vibrantes en español durante un año de inmersión sin instrucción Iniciamos un estudio longitudinal que explora el desarrollo de las vibrantes de once aprendices de español que pasaron un año en Ecuador. Encontramos que después de un año de inmersión, no todos los participantes mejoraron su producción de las vibrantes, y varios empeoraron su pronunciación en algún momento de la estancia. Analizamos los resultados a través de la teoría de sistemas dinámicos (Bot, Lowie, y Verspoor, 2007), que propone que la adquisición, aunque es sistemática de cierta manera, también es caótica y demuestra altos niveles de variabilidad, tanto de mejora como retraso a nivel individual.
