El Usurpador De Cadáveres
Robert Louis Stevenson El usurpador de cadáveres Todas las noches del año nos sentábamos los cuatro en el pequeño reservado de la posada George en Debenham: el empresario de pompas fúnebres, el dueño, Fettes y yo. A veces había más gente; pero tanto si hacía viento como si no, tanto si llovía como si nevaba o caía una helada, los cuatro, llegado el momento, nos instalábamos en nuestros respectivos sillones. Fettes era un viejo escocés muy dado a la bebida; culto, sin duda, y también acomodado, porque vivía sin hacer nada. Había llegado a Debenham años atrás, todavía joven, y por la simple permanencia se había convertido en hijo adoptivo del pueblo. Su capa azul de camelote era una antigüedad, igual que la torre de la iglesia. Su sitio fijo en el reservado de la posada, su conspicua ausencia de la iglesia, y sus vicios vergonzosos eran cosas de todos sabidas en Debenham. Mantenía algunas opiniones vagamente radicales y cierto pasajero escepticismo religioso que sacaba a relucir periódicamente, dando énfasis a sus palabras con imprecisos manotazos sobre la mesa. Bebía ron: cinco vasos todas las veladas; y durante la mayor parte de su diaria visita a la posada permanecía en un estado de melancólico estupor alcohólico, siempre con el vaso de ron en la mano derecha. Le llamábamos el doctor, porque se le atribuían ciertos conocimientos de medicina y en casos de emergencia había sido capaz de entablillar una fractura o reducir una luxación, pero, al margen de estos pocos detalles, carecíamos de información sobre su personalidad y antecedentes. Una oscura noche de invierno—habían dado las nueve algo antes de que el dueño se reuniera con nosotros— fuimos informados de que un gran terrateniente de los alrededores se había puesto enfermo en la posada, atacado de apoplejía, cuando iba de camino hacia Londres y el Parlamento; y por telégrafo se había solicitado la presencia, a la cabecera del gran hombre, de su médico de la capital, personaje todavía más famoso. -

MIGRANT LITERATURE ‘JO TAMBÉ SÓC CATALANA’ BY NAJAT EL HACHMI MARTA SEGARRA This article discusses «migrant literature» in Catalonia, looking at the particular case of Najat El Hachmi, a Catalan writer of Moroccan origin. Here we analyse her fi rst book, the auto-biographical Jo també sóc catalana (“I Am Also Catalan”) by examining how the migratory experience is expressed from a linguistic, cultural and gender perspective. We also compare her case with that of other writers, especially those belonging to the so-called «Francophone Maghreb» literature. Keywords: migrant literature, Catalan literature, Maghreb literature, Najat El Hachmi. The migratory experience, with all its social, countries but who settled in Catalonia and chose economic and, above all, emotional and psychological to write in Catalan. They could fi t into the category complexities, has become a major literary and artistic of «migrant literature», not only attending to the theme, especially in recent decades. -

El Español De América Central Ayer, Hoy Y Mañana*
Boletín de Filología, Tomo XLIII (2008): 145 - 174 El español de América Central ayer, hoy y mañana* Miguel Ángel Quesada Pacheco** Universidad de Bergen, Noruega RESUMEN El español que se habla en los países que conforman el istmo centroamericano (Belice, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica y Panamá) ha sido estudiado de manera escasa y fragmentaria. Desde los inicios de la época independiente (1821), el interés fi lológico se ha centrado, por una parte, en la lexicografía, y por otra, en la normatividad, con lo cual se han dejado de lado otras perspectivas de estudio lingüístico. Además, con frecuencia las personas interesadas en el tema no son profesionales en la materia, sino más bien afi cionadas, con lo cual el producto de sus esfuerzos no siempre va coronado con los mejores resultados lingüísticos. En el presente estudio se esboza el camino recorrido para llegar al conocimiento que hoy tenemos del español centroamericano, lo que se ha hecho hasta nuestros días, y las tareas que nos esperan. Se resaltarán los aportes logrados en cada uno de los estudios, situando su valor científi co en tiempo y espacio, con el fi n de destacar etapas históricas en el camino recorrido. Palabras clave: Español, Lingüística, Filología, Historia, Dialectología. * El presente artículo fue presentado como ponencia plenaria en el IV Simposio sobre la Lengua y la Literatura Nicaragüenses (Managua, 27 y 28 de abril de 2006). ** Para correspondencia dirigirse a: Miguel Ángel Quesada Pacheco (miguel.quesada@ if.uib.no), Departamento de Lenguas Extranjeras (Institutt for framandspråk), Facultad de Humanidades (Det humanistiske fakultet), Universidad de Bergen (Universitetet i Bergen), HF-Bygg, Sydnesplass 7, N-5007 Bergen, Noruega. -

“Between Borders: Moroccan Migrations in L’últim patriarca by Najat El-Hachmi” A Lecture by Kathleen McNerney Prize-winning translator of women’s writing from Catalonia Wednesday April 24, 2019 4pm 1301 Rolfe Hall, UCLA Born in Morocco in 1979, Najat El Hachmi immigrated with her family to the Barcelona area when she was a child. She attended Catalan schools and then studied Arabic literature at the University of Barcelona. Her first book, Jo també sóc catalana (2004), is autobiographical, dealing with issues of identity and belonging in a new place. In 2008, the novel L’últim patriarca won the very prestigious Ramon Llull Prize for Catalan Literature and was soon translated into English. Mare de llet i mel is her most recent work. Kathleen McNerney is professor emerita of Spanish and Women’s Studies at West Virginia University, where she was Benedum Distinguished Scholar and Singer Professor of the Humanities. She has awarded several prizes in Catalonia for her work, including the Premi Batista i Roca from the Institut de Projecció Exterior. Her work includes Latin American, Castilian, and French literatures, but focuses on Catalan women authors. She is coeditor of Double Minorities of Spain (MLA 1994) and Visions and Revisions: Women’s Narrative in Twentieth-Century Spain (Rodopi 2008). She has also edited collections of essays on Mercè Rodoreda and is translator of stories, poetry, and four novels. Her latest publication is Silent Souls and Other Stories (MLA 2018) by Caterina Albert, which has just been awarded the translation prize by the North American Catalan Society.

Introduction
Introduction Frederick Luis Aldama Scholar, playwright, spoken-word performer, award-winning poet, and avant-garde fiction author, since the 1980s Giannina Braschi has been creating up a storm in and around a panoply of Latinx hemispheric spaces. Her creative corpus reaches across different genres, regions, and historical epochs. Her critical works cover a wide range of subjects and authors, including Miguel de Cervantes, Garcilaso de la Vega, Juan Ramón Jiménez, Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, Antonio Machado, César Vallejo, and García Lorca. Her dramatic poetry titles in Spanish include Asalto al tiempo (1981) and La comedia profana (1985). Her radically ex- perimental genre-bending titles include El imperio de los sueños (1988), the bilingual Yo-Yo Boing! (1998), and the English-penned United States of Banana (2011). With national and international awards and works ap- pearing in Swedish, Slovenian, Russian, and Italian, she is recognized as one of today’s foremost experimental Latinx authors. Her vibrant bilingually shaped creative expressions and innovation spring from her Latinidad, her Puerto Rican-ness that weaves in and through a planetary aesthetic sensibility. We discover as much in her work about US/Puerto Rico sociopolitical histories as we encounter the metaphysical and existential explorations of a Cervantes, Rabelais, Did- erot, Artaud, Joyce, Beckett, Stein, Borges, Cortázar, and Rosario Castel- lanos, for instance. With every flourish of her pen Braschi reminds us that in the distillation and reconstruction of the building blocks of the uni- verse there are no limits to what fiction can do. And, here too, the black scratches that form words and carefully composed blank spaces shape an absent world; her strict selection out of words and syntax is as important as the precise insertion of words and syntax to put us into the shoes of the “complicit reader” (Julio Cortázar’s term) to most productively interface, invest, and fill in the gaps of her storyworlds.
