The Trade Union Confederation of Workers’ Commissions, from its CITE association, has vast experience in training foreigners through the delivery of face-to-face workshops on labor rights that have enabled their empowerment. With the COVID-19 emergency, the face-to-face workshop format switched to virtual for the first time, through the use of Google Meet (formerly Hangouts Meet) application, allowing mobile learning (m-learning). The results presented show how this new training modality, despite the challenges it poses to organizers in terms of technological and human resources, not only achieves the empowerment of the benefitted migrant women, but also improves the accessibility of this vulnerable group to training.","PeriodicalId":41881,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Iberian and Latin American Research","volume":"27 1","pages":"472 - 488"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46781756","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}

In recent decades in Europe and Australia, Euripides’s play Women of Troy (5th Century BCE), has been adapted on numerous occasions to comment on armed conflict, refugeeism and victimhood in the Gulf War, the Syrian conflict and others. In 2002 a play written by Michel Vinaver and translated into Catalan had its worldwide premiere in Barcelona. This play established links between Euripides’s original and the Twin Towers attack in New York on September 11 2001. In 2004, Rosalba Clemente and Dawn Langman adapted and staged Women of Troy with the attack in mind, for an Australian audience. The new millennium starts amidst victims. Both versions highlight the complexities and ambiguities that inspire war and its split between winners and losers as another way to define the Other.","PeriodicalId":41881,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Iberian and Latin American Research","volume":"27 1","pages":"323 - 334"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48483555","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}

The article adopts a transnational perspective to examine how positionality can shape understandings of the object of study. In particular, the article analyzes how the phenomenon of immigration can open up new, more inclusive discourses on national identities. To this end, it explores the development of multicultural literary studies in Australia since the 1980s and its implications for the construction of a national identity. While recognising that the two cases are very different, given that Australia is a sovereign nation and Catalonia is a stateless one, the article compares the relationship between migrant writings and national literatures in Australia and Catalonia respectively. The article concludes by proposing possible research angles for Catalan literary studies with the aim of facilitating social and cultural cohesion.","PeriodicalId":41881,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Iberian and Latin American Research","volume":"27 1","pages":"353 - 367"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43487529","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}

Its sudden increase from 2000 on helps explain why immigration policies have unfolded during the last 20 years, a long-enough period to start evaluating its impact. This article reviews the framework for policies for linguistic integration of the foreign-born population in Catalonia, and explores their results through the lens of census data on these new speakers’ language abilities and practices. It shows that, in Spain, the asymmetrical distribution of competences and power between the state and sub-state levels “prevents the minority nations from developing comprehensive public policy on immigration.” Together with the unbalanced legal and economic status of Castilian and Catalan, and the demographic minorization of Catalan-speakers, this poses a challenge to the full linguistic integration of immigrants and to the sustainability of Catalan in the long run.","PeriodicalId":41881,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Iberian and Latin American Research","volume":"27 1","pages":"368 - 385"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45420886","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}

The stakes in forging certain relations with the past are always consequential, whether or not they appear to be, despite a lack of consensus surrounding the ends of remembering and forgetting. The terms of the debate about memory evolve as the past becomes institutionalized, branded, cultivated by social movements, courted by elites or the downtrodden, integrated into national(ist) mythologies or displaced by corporate aesthetics that disappear a sense of time and the terms of the political altogether. For Manuel Cruz, history and memory can never be understood outside of the political conditions that shape them. By this he means that we are under constant and shifting pressure to forget or remember in very specific ways, which are never reducible to remembering or forgetting. Cruz advocates “a more shaded perspective” that acknowledges there are pathological ways of remembering and healthy forms of forgetting. Cruz’s “more shaded perspective” complements Philip J. Brendese’s argument in favor of an agonistic approach to memory. Extending approaches to democracy that emphasise the imperative of pluralism, Brendese argues that “democratization [. . .] requires an agonistic engagement with multiple, often deeply conflicting, relationships to memory and time.” An agonistic approach to memory replaces the false dichotomy of forgetting or remembering, and the naïve assumption that memory is useful in order to not repeat the horrors of the past with an open-ended dialectic of ambiguity and multiplicity. After examining a range of (mis)uses of history, including that it can tell us something about the present or how not to repeat the past, Cruz reflects on the possibility that it could help us to live well. Helping us to live well means—depending on one’s social position—maintaining hegemony or offering the possibility of emancipation. In the case of the latter, living well is synonymous with imagining alternative futures, resisting, surviving, struggling. Remembering well entails remembering the terms of the political, and the political terms of memory itself, which open subjectivities of possibility and multiple paths to the future. For Herbert Marcuse, remembrance revives the possibility of difference, the radical potential of the future. Subjectivity and imaginaries of political possibility emerge out of memory. Memory is both the condition for subjectivity and possibility. In this sense, the politics of memory is always the memory of politics and a basis for the cultivation of future possibility.","PeriodicalId":41881,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Iberian and Latin American Research","volume":"27 1","pages":"191 - 197"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46772437","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}
