(2007:86) Además, el autor nos advierte de sus posibles efectos, ya que vivimos una auténtica eclosión de aporías: "Una de las consecuencias de este mal uso es la aparición de posiciones disciplinarias que pueden ocasionar que la arquitectura vaya a la deriva. "(2007: 86). A este respecto, hay muchas intervenciones en el campo de la arquitectura y el urbanismo que pueden causar perplejidad en el espectador por su tendencia a ignorar la verdad y a proponer una confusión entre realidad y deseo. Una de ellas es el uso de "disfraces" para enmascarar lo que hay debajo. Es también lo que le sucede a menudo a muchos urbanistas que consideran el paisaje como una simplificación de la complejidad territorial e intentan reducir un problema serio e interdisciplinario a un mero problema de revestimiento, de fachada. El objetivo de este artículo es explicar cómo la arquitectura y el urbanismo utilizan diferentes tipos de disfraces, distinguir entre los distintos tipos de ocultamiento y reflexionar sobre cuáles son las principales razones de su uso. Además, se llamará la atención sobre el hecho de que algunas de las categorías descritas llevan consigo un despilfarro económico que debe controlarse en el interés de todos en una época en la que palabras como sostenibilidad y ahorro suponen un deber moral.

Se entiende por "escenario" tanto los paisajes urbanos como los naturales o las descripciones de interiores que aparecen en su cuerpo poetico, su unica novela, The Bell Jar, y los ensayos y relatos compilados en Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams. La novedad de este trabajo consiste en el estudio de tales temas en la totalidad de la obra de Plath y tambien en una interpretacion novedosa de los paisajes descritos en la misma. En la tesis se sostiene que los paisajes aparecen descritos en virtud del momento vital de la escritora, de forma que Plath va indagando en su subconsciente y va dandose cuenta de que temas en su vida parecian zanjados, como la muerte de su padre, no lo estan y, en consecuencia, va cambiando la forma en que describe lo que le rodea, ...

The pieces, written at different points in her life, portray Plath’s tendency to eliminate details from her descriptions of scenery in which action occurs. Besides this progressive elimination of details, Plath’s short stories also depict an increasing tendency to attribute human qualities to such sceneries that reflect the main characters’ mood, and mental and physical state. In such a way, the writer’s short stories share the characteristics of Plath’s latest poetry, i. e., the progressive merging of physical and mental landscapes in her writing.

This is clearly so in the cases of Sylvia Plath (1932-1963) and Louise Bourgeois (1911-2010), as loss is the driver of most of their production. The recreation of painful moments in Bourgeois´ life is the key to understand most of her work, especially her ‘Cells’. In Sylvia Plath´s case, her father´s death without a possible mourning and the later break-down of her marriage are drivers for some of the writer´s best poems.This article analyses the presence of loss and nostalgia in the artist and the writer´s work, focusing on the many similarities between the artist and the writer and pointing out the psychic landscapes they give place to (Douglas Porteous´s Landscapes of the Mind).Finally, there is also a vindication in the article of the feeling of loss as a powerful creative tool that stimulates action. In that respect, the article supports Alastair Bonnett´s point of view about the importanc...

The volume is composed of fourteen chapters divided into 4 parts that, according to Robert Eaglestone, deal with the relationship between memory and politics, memory and trauma, and in a more subtle way, memory and ethics, following the postcolonial debate on memory studies (277).

As María Jesús Martínez-Alfaro and Silvia Pellicer-Ortín, the volume's editors, indicate in the introduction, this is a book about "the frictions and tensions of remembering and forgetting in contemporary memory studies" (7). The compilation also raises questions on the possible forthcoming representations of such memory (6-7). The volume is composed of fourteen chapters divided into 4 parts that, according to Robert Eaglestone, deal with the relationship between memory and politics, memory and trauma, and in a more subtle way, memory and ethics, following the postcolonial debate on memory studies (277). The authors discussed in the volume are from diverse countries and cultures, amongst them Native American, Australian, Burmese American, Cuban American, South Korean American, US American, British, Irish and African American. To study the texts the contributors apply a plurality of critical perspectives such as ethics, postcolonial studies, space theories, narratology, feminism, gender studies, psychoanalysis, biopolitics, etc. Finally, the issues the volume explores in relation to "'memory'" are of very different natures, from history to identity, religion, justice,

On the technical side there are issues of performance, reliability, scalability, security. Moreover societal, economical and business aspects have emerged. FI is an urgent and also structurally ideal arena for furthering the art of feminist technology creation. The FI discussions incorporate small, incremental evolutionary steps as well as complete redesigns. The rigorous frameworks for technology studies that have been developed within the feminist tradition can be tried out and applied to support interventions in the FI field. One of the techniques used in FI exploration is definition of scenarios. Scenarios can be used as starting points for technical innovation or used as illustrations of de facto technological appeals. One possibility is to extrapolate inner landscapes as evoked in feminist scholarship and ...
