By: Isabel Palomo Merino Directed by: Dr. Javier Ortiz García, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid Madrid, 2017 Dissertation Abstract – Universidad Autónoma de Madrid From the Periphery to the Canon: Detective Fiction in Spain Through the Works of García Pavón, Cain, Vázquez Montalbán and Thompson. An Application of Polysystem Theories of Translation. Isabel Palomo Merino Directed by: Dr. Javier Ortiz García, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid Madrid, 2017 Detective fiction has become one of the most popular genres in our present times; but why and how did detective fiction become so popular in Spain? This dissertation studies the development of the genre of detective fiction in Spain, written both by Spanish writers and as translations from American authors, framed within the historical period that extends from the Franco Regime up to our present days. It was during the dictatorship that translations of foreign detective fiction started to reach the country and a sense of collective imagination on the topic began to be created, influenced also by the movie adaptations that reached Spain, by the numerous pseudotranslations, and by journals like El Caso. The foreign model of detective fiction was adopted by national writers who re- created it within a new context: classic detective fiction influenced the work of Francisco García Pavón, and hardboiled detective fiction –analyzed through the works of James M.

For a thorough analysis of science fiction’s origins, see Brian W. Aldiss and David Wingrove’s Trillion Year Spree: The History of Science Fiction (1986). 3. See William S.

As Oedipa Maas begins to explore the potential existence of a secret mail system known as Tristero, she writes underneath the Tristero horn that she has copied off of a bathroom wall, “Shall I project a world?” (65). Here, Oedipa is contemplating the possible existence of an entire other pattern of reality of which she (and most of the world) remains unaware.

An Analysis of Operation Protective Edge Using the Two-Factor Test Wajiha Rais* On July 7, 2014, Israel launched its third military offensive in Gaza in six years, dubbed Operation Protective Edge.1 The Operation lasted for fifty days before Israel and Hamas agreed to an Egyptian brokered cease-fire on August 26, 2014.2 According to the United Nations, 2,131 Palestinians were killed during the offensive, of whom 1,473 were civilians.3 On the Israeli side, seventy-one people died, of whom four were civilians.4 Israel justified the offensive as an act of self-defense against indiscriminate rocket attacks5 and the so-called “terror tunnels.”6 The “terror tunnels” were a network of underground tunnels that went from Gaza to Israeli territory.7 In an interview with Fox News, Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, reiterated that “Israel .

  • September 3, 2014 Dear Penguin Random House Colleagues, I Am
    Markus Dohle Chief Executive Officer September 3, 2014 Dear Penguin Random House Colleagues, I am writing you today about the beginning of an exciting new era for our Penguin adult publishing colleagues with the creation of the Penguin Publishing Group. This newest division of Penguin Random House U.S. will be formed by the unification and organizational alignment of Penguin’s adult publishing imprints, which were formerly managed separately as the Penguin Adult and Berkley/NAL groups, under a single guiding vision and leadership structure. I am pleased to appoint MADELINE MCINTOSH, a colleague of exceptional experience and leadership skill, to the newly created role of President, Penguin Publishing Group, reporting to me, effective immediately. She will relinquish her current duties as our U.S. President and Chief Operating Officer; the resulting changes for our corporate departments will be detailed separately today. Adult publishing at Penguin now operates as two separate groups, with the imprints working together to successfully maximize opportunities for authors across the hardcover, paperback and digital formats. Now, as our marketplace continues to evolve, and as consumer demand shifts between formats, it is clear that capitalizing on our authors’ opportunities for growth will require even greater collaboration and coordination, and even more unified publishing strategies across all formats. That is why the time is right to create a one-leader management structure for the entire Penguin adult business, while also maintaining the identity of each of its individual publishing imprints. Every day since our merger, and previously in her many positions of ever-growing responsibility at Random House, Madeline has been one of our greatest champions in identifying and implementing the opportunities for growth and innovation – particularly in the digital arena -- created by the evolving marketplace.

  • Running Time: 10½ Hours • Unabridged
    Tens of millions of Americans sense there is something very wrong with the president of the United States, but they don’t know what. The Manchurian President answers that question. In writing this exhaustively researched book, Aaron Klein, with Brenda J. Elliott, definitively exposes just how dangerous Barack Obama really is as America’s commander-in-chief. Among the book’s chilling findings are Obama’s mysterious college years, shocking new details of his relationship with Bill Ayers and other Weatherman terrorists, his ties to Islam and black liberation theology, startling facts about his eligibility to serve as president, his membership in a socialist party, radical socialist involvement in drafting the stimulus bill, the never-before-revealed depth of his relationship with ACORN, and more. “Aaron Klein has unmasked the most radical—and therefore dangerous—president by far this country has ever seen. The radical forces that shaped Obama, as revealed in this telling investigation, were not the best of the radical sixties, but the very worst—the anti-American, communist-supporting, terrorist fringe.” —David Horowitz, bestselling author AARON KLEIN is an investigative journalist and Jerusalem bureau chief for World- NetDaily.com. He is a regular on top American radio shows and appears frequently on Fox News Channel and Al Jazeera. He is the author of Schmoozing with Terrorists and The Late Great State of Israel, as well as the host of Aaron Klein Investigative Radio for New York’s WABC, the largest radio talk station in the United States. BRENDA J. ELLIOTT is a historian, author, and investigative researcher who has earned the admiration and endured the scorn of media colleagues for dogged blogging during the 2008 presidential election about Tony Rezko, William Ayers, and others.
