Esto es asi con respecto a las aportaciones criticas existentes sobre el interes de Lessing por la educacion (Cairnie 2008; Sperlinger 2017), sobre todo en ninos y ninas en procesos de transicion hacia la adolescencia. Este articulo muestra que, para Lessing, dicho interes es constante y se observa a lo largo de su obra, tanto de ficcion como de no ficcion. Tomando el corpus de los relatos africanos como marco principal de referencia, este articulo estudia “Flavours of Exile” (1957), un relato donde el huerto familiar se transforma en espacio informal de experimentacion, y es para Lessing un vehiculo para dar paso a sus preocupaciones por la educacion del sujeto femenino en un contexto historico de descolonizacion. EnglishDoris Lessing’s recent centenary brought opportunities to look at her works with fresh eyes. This is also the case with Lessing’s interest in education (Cairnie 2008; Sperlinger 2017), especially that of children in their transition to youth. This paper argues that this was an interest with which Lessing consistently concerned herself in both her fiction and non-fiction writings. Using the corpus of her African short stories as a primary reference framework, this paper studies “Flavours of Exile” (1957), a short story in which a family’s vegetable garden becomes a learning space for informal experimentation. The story is used by Lessing as a platform to raise her concerns about the education of the female subject in the historical context of decolonisation","PeriodicalId":35132,"journal":{"name":"Miscelanea","volume":"63 1","pages":"57-75"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41679448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Discutire como la reconceptualizacion de la condicion de nacion de Nigeria se hace posible a traves de la revision que la autora Chinelo Okparanta hace de la feminidad nigeriana (subalterna y abyecta en este caso) desde una perspectiva homoerotica o afroqueer en su novela Under the Udala Trees (2015). La exploracion de la mujer nigeriana y lesbiana desde una perspectiva literaria claramente propone una forma valiosa y subversiva de reescribir, reconstruir y reconceptualizar la nacion nigeriana (postcolonial), con el proposito de que otras subjetividades instaladas en la otredad puedan formar parte del proyecto de construccion de la nacion. Okparanta, considerada escritora afrodiasporica y transcultural, interpela a la nacion nigeriana para asi mostrar configuraciones post-abismales de la misma que trascienden discursos reduccionistas y monoliticos. Haciendo uso de los planteamientos propuestos por intelectuales pertenecientes al campo de los Estudios Postcoloniales, de Genero o Estudios Queer como Neville Hoad, Ifi Amadiume, Lindsey Green-Simms o Lee Edelman, pretendo demostrar que la novela de Okparanta puede funcionar como practica de resistencia contra representaciones hegemonicas, heteronormativas y eurocentricas del continente africano. EnglishThis paper presents a revised paradigm of the postcolonial Nigerian nation through the exploration of the figure of the black lesbian in Nigeria. I argue that the reconceptualisation of Nigerian nationhood is enabled through the revision by Chinelo Okparanta in her debut novel Under the Udala Trees (2015) of subaltern and abject Nigerian womanhood carried out from a homoerotic or Afroqueer standpoint. The exploration of lesbian Nigerian woman(hood) from a literary stance clearly represents a valuable and subversive way of re-writing, re-constructing and re-conceptualising the postcolonial Nigerian nation so that othered subjectivities can also become part of the nation-building project. Okparanta, considered an Afrosporic and transcultural writer, interpellates the Nigerian nation in order to present us with post-abyssal configurations that transcend reductive and monolithic discourses. Drawing on the work of a wide array of scholars belonging to Postcolonial, Gender and Queer Studies —such as Neville Hoad, Ifi Amadiume, Lindsey Green-Simms, and Lee Edelman— I demonstrate how Okparanta’s novel can work as an example of resistance against hegemonic, heteronormative and Eurocentric representations of Africa.","PeriodicalId":35132,"journal":{"name":"Miscelanea","volume":"63 1","pages":"111-128"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69117285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, as opposed to some other Spanish regions, attention towards the linguistic education system from the point of view of research has been scarce. On this basis, the present investigation seeks to analyze the plurilingual education system of the Valencian region currently in force from the perspective of trainee teachers. \u0000To this end, a study has been conducted with three focus groups. The narrative produced by the participants has been analyzed taking into consideration four major dimensions, namely plurilingual programs, teacher training, methodology, and resources and materials. In this analysis, the main idea underlying each dimension has been identified and then the information has been synthesized in flow charts that broadly represent the information conveyed by the groups. \u0000The results obtained evince a lack of initial and continuous teacher training in plurilingual issues, a reality which translates into a low level of linguistic competence and methodological lacunae, as well as a lack of tailored-made teaching materials. There is thus an urgent need to revisit major aspects of the plurilingual programs and bring about certain changes that could contribute to their improvement and consolidation.","PeriodicalId":35132,"journal":{"name":"Miscelanea","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44911525","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A la hora de retratar el Oeste en Days without End, Barry va mas alla del imaginario regional y nacional de este territorio, mostrando sus caracteristicas internacionales e hibridas y sus culturas multiples y superpuestas. Se argumenta que la recreacion de Barry de una realidad diferente al tradicional monomito “western” de masculinidad, individualismo y conquista anglo-americana, le permite cuestionar las narraciones clasicas de la frontera y abordar asuntos internacionales y transculturales, como la fluidez de genero. La novela, cuyo principal protagonista y narrador es un irlandes pobre y homosexual, muestra un Oeste diferente, poniendo en cuestion las versiones romanticas de la expansion hacia el Oeste y trazando interesantes conexiones entre los inmigrantes irlandeses en esta region y los nativo-americanos.

Barry’s approach to the American West in Days without End moves beyond the regional and national imagery of this territory, revealing its international and hybrid properties and its multiple and overlapping cultures. It is argued that Barry’s recreation of a different reality from the traditional western monomyth of masculinity, individualism, and Anglo-American conquest allows him to challenge classical frontier narratives and to address international and transcultural issues, such as gender fluidity. The novel, whose main protagonist and narrator is a poor, homosexual Irish immigrant, embraces a different West, questioning romanticized versions of the westward expansion and drawing interesting connections between the Irish immigrants in this region and the Native Americans. Overall, Days without End may be viewed as an acute depiction of the transnational dimension of the American West, proving the power of the Western to overcome its traditional formulaic and mythic boundaries and to travel across global spaces","PeriodicalId":35132,"journal":{"name":"Miscelanea","volume":"63 1","pages":"77-93"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43737173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
