A través de ambientes inquietantes y ominosos, la autora construye un terror desde lo cotidiano, que representa, denuncia y hasta resiste la violencia ejercida contra las mujeres.En mi análisis, intentaré desmontar la representación de temas de género e infancias y la construcción de un “terror social” -siguiendo a Elsa Drucaroff- en tres de los relatos de est...

Given our desire to receive the greatest possible number of quality proposals, we employed significant domestic and foreign propaganda. our call for papers received such a response that we decided to add an additional day to the conference, and, consequently, a quantitative and qualitative leap resulted. We targeted students from all fields of study to participate in what developed into a noteworthy interdisciplinary discussion. indeed, the presence of students of history, philosophy, political science, French, and english contributed to the intellectual spectrum of the session dialogues. our conference was comprised of nine panels and more than twenty-five presenters coming from such distinguished institutions as arizona, berkeley, indiana, Kentucky, nYU, notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Purdue, texas, and, of course, vanderbilt. two rarities were also featured in the conference; certainly, these were anomalies within the traditional scope of graduate student summits. one was the reknown of the keynote speaker, traduttore extraordinaire Gregory rabassa, whose monumental corpus of literary translations in both spanish and Portuguese-including the work of Machado de assis, Clarice lispector, Julio Cortázar, Mario vargas llosa, and Gabriel vii
