Normal for the spider is chaos for the fly.” In today’s society, overly simplified generalizations about a specific type of person are called “stereotypes.” They are assumptions people make about what is normal for all individuals in a perceived group. But this image is an illusion, a false caricature that must be questioned. The novel La detective miope (The Myopic Detective), written by Rosa Ribas and published in 2010, is an example of contemporary Spanish literature that challenges these preconceived notions. Ribas meticulously crafts characters that appear to fit into conventional expectations of “normal.” Yet each one hides an unforeseen side that provokes a reevaluation of concepts such as gender, occupation, and personal motives. From the secrets between a father and his daughter to the corruption of the police force and other prestigious professions- a lawyer, a bank manager, a wholesaler of fabrics, Ribas traces a parallel between these members of society and a producer of porn films, his star actress Honey Horney, and a drag queen. She challenges the reader’s assumptions about what is normal in order to make a revealing critique about the society in which these generalizations persist.","PeriodicalId":424713,"journal":{"name":"The Rowdy Scholar: A Journal of Undergraduate Research & Creative Works","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132402644","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 first entry, “Sapos planos” (“Flat Toads”) explores the anxious memories of an adolescent that are inexorably linked to a song. On a dark night, in a subdivision that was never built, an older brother and his friend plan to teach a younger sibling how to drive by way of a gruesome game. The song “So What” by Ministry becomes the soundtrack to the youth’s foray into delinquency. The second work, “El huésped” (“The Houseguest”), is a creative continuation of the short story “El banquete” (“The Banquet”) written by Peruvian author Julio Ramón Ribeyro and published in 1958. The original story is centered on a man named Fernando who spends his fortune throwing a sumptuous party during which he asks the president of Peru to grant him several “small” favors such as naming him the ambassador to Rome. Surprisingly the president is prepared to fulfill all of Fernando’s wishes. However, during the party, some of the guests conspire to overthrow the president. The next morning, when Fernando reads the headlines about the coup d’état, he faints. This creative piece ponders what may have happened in the moments and days that followed. The final work is entitled “Mal lugar para los descalzos” (“A Bad Place for Bare Feet”) and follows a young girl’s experience at a boarding school during an unforgettable moment.","PeriodicalId":424713,"journal":{"name":"The Rowdy Scholar: A Journal of Undergraduate Research & Creative Works","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128023312","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}

These policies can be ideologically categorized as neoliberal policies.1 The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between neoliberal policies and social tension through a mediating variable of economic inequality. The goal is to explore a potential connection between neoliberal policies and social tension from the 1970s and 1980s to the present. This study used a methodology that entailed creating a timeline of neoliberal policy implementation, then comparing it to historical data on inequality. Inequality data was collected from the Gini coefficient and index which are a statistical measurement of income and wealth inequality. Gini coefficient and index data was then compared to violent crime rates and racial hate crime rates in a correlational analysis. Violent crime rates and racial hate crime rates were used as an indicator for the variable of social tension. Data availability on racial violence was a major limiting factor to the original goal of the study. The analysis indicated that there is a temporal correlation between neoliberal policy implementation and growth in inequality, but a more complex relationship between inequality and social tension exists than originally hypothesized. There are additional extraneous variables influencing social tension that were not present in this analysis. Further examination of influential factors that contribute to - or reduce - social tension should be explored.","PeriodicalId":424713,"journal":{"name":"The Rowdy Scholar: A Journal of Undergraduate Research & Creative Works","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123994655","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}
