« ... Dans la classe, au début, la maîtresse, je ne la comprenais pas. Elle demandait aux autres Portugais qui étaient déjà là avant moi, et eux ils traduisaient, ils m’expliquaient. Moi, j’avais honte de parler français. Et les Français, ils se moquaient de moi. Mais s’ils vont au Portugal, eh bien, eux aussi ils ne comprendront rien ! »

Convertido desde el momento de su aparición en un clásico absoluto de la literatura norteamericana, las cuentos narrados por El Tío Remus son un retrato absolutamente necesario de aquello que sucedió en una época y lugar muy concretos: la esclavitud, el sur de Estados Unidos antes y después de la guerra civil, la segregación racial... Con estas fábulas y leyendas nacidas en las mismas plantaciones, más de cien cuentos narrados cada noche por un viejo esclavo a un niño blanco –y magistralmente traducidos por Jaime de Ojeda–, Joel Chandler Harris (influencia e inspiración para autores como Mark Twain, Beatrix Potter o William Faulkner) recopiló, registró y conservó un folclore que estaba a punto de perderse. Nos permitió tener un panorama –no siempre agradable– del momento, además de un inigualable testimonio filológico y cultural.
This volume explores how television has been a significant conduit for the public consumption of changing ideas about children, childhood, and national identity, via a critical examination of programs that prominently feature children and youth in international television. The chapters connect relevant cultural attitudes within their respective countries to an analysis of children and/or childhood in international children’s programming. The collection addresses how international children’s programming in global and local context informs changing ideas about children and childhood, including notions of individual and citizen identity formation. Offering new insights into childhood and television studies, this book will be of great interest to graduate students, scholars, and professionals in television studies, childhood studies, media studies, cultural studies, popular culture studies, and American studies.

Polymer Stress Reactions, Volume 1: Introduction focuses on the interrelationship between polymer mechanochemistry and the stress-induced polymer reactions. This book discusses each nominal polymer state and describes the parameters and variables that are germane to the mechanically induced reactions in that state. The polymer degradation variables that are generally applicable to mechanochemistry, such as temperature and shear intensity, are also considered. This book consists of five chapters and begins with an overview of mechanochemistry and stress-induced polymer reactions, with particular reference to the distinction between mechanochemical reactions and other modes of reaction. The general regions of viscoelastic behavior for amorphous polymers where mechanochemistry may be conducted are also described. The next chapter explores the mechanisms underlying the modes of reaction in mechanochemistry, focusing on the effects of shear and applied stress as well as how bonds rupture. The discussion then turns to the influence of the principal variables in polymer mechanochemistry; characterization methods for evaluating the fundamentals of mechanochemistry; and methods for the...

Yo soy un poco como los niños, sensible y llorón. Eso fue lo que me sucedió en diciembre del año pasado. Se me caían las lágrimas cantando estas canciones que compuse hace cincuenta años. Esto ocurrió en el gran patio de la Fundación Violeta Parra. Cantábamos, ”Al mundo niño le canto“. Canciones escritas para mis hijos cuando eran guagüitas, no vi pasar el tiempo. Hombres y mujeres de mi generación cantando conmigo. El manseque, El circo, Gabriela del palomar. La emoción llegó al límite en el momento en que descubro que sus hijos y nietos también cantaban mis canciones infantiles medio siglo después . Feliz iniciativa este libro para que los niños y los viejos canten conmigo, manseque, manseque la culeque...
40o ANIVERSARIO DE KOESTLER Las memorias de Arthur Koestler en un único volumen «Enervó y fascinó a partes iguales, defendió y atacó argumentos con vehemencia y brillantez. [...] Un maestro». Alberto Gordo, El Mundo «No puedo ni imaginarme si dentro de cincuenta años habrá alguien que desee leer algún libro mío, pero tengo una idea muy exacta de lo que a mí, como escritor, me impulsa. Es el deseo de trocar cien lectores contemporáneos por diez lectores dentro de diez años, o por un lector dentro de cien años.» Arthur Koestler Las memorias de Arthur Koestler, una de las figuras intelectuales más representativas y sobresalientes del siglo XX, constituyen uno de los testimonios más lúcidos y apasionantes del pasado siglo. Este volumen reúne, por primera vez, los dos títulos de su autobiografía: Flecha en el azul, que abarca el periodo de 1905 a 1931, y La escritura invisible, de 1931 a 1940.

Lisa Wingate se inspira en sorprendentes historias detrás de anuncios de «Amigos perdidos», publicados en los periódicos del sur de los Estados Unidos tras la Guerra de Secesión; historias reales de esclavos recién liberados que buscaban desesperadamente a sus seres queridos. Luisiana, 1875. En la tumultuosa Era de la Reconstrucción, tres jóvenes parten juntas en una arriesgada misión: Hannie, una esclava liberada; Lavinia, la consentida heredera de una plantación que le ha sido arrebatada; y Juneau Jane, la hermanastra mestiza de Lavinia. Cada una de ellas carga con sus propias heridas y guarda profundos secretos, mientras emprenden un viaje a Texas a través de carreteras llenas de justicieros y soldados que todavía luchan por una guerra perdida tiempo atrás. Lavinia y Juneau Jane viajan por una herencia robada y por desesperación económica, pero para Hannie, separada de su madre y de sus hermanos antes del fi n de la esclavitud, el peregrinaje hacia el oeste reaviva una pregunta que la atormenta: ¿podría estar su familia, perdida tiempo atrás, todavía allí? Luisiana, 1987. Para la joven profesora Benedetta Silva, un trabajo subvencionado en una humilde...

For the last four decades, the uses of econometric tools and techniques, irrespective of discipline, have been increasing rapidly for solving problems, appropriate decision-making and policy formulation. Generally, it is accepted that the study of modern business and economics is incomplete without a proper knowledge of econometric tools and techniques. In view of the increasing complexity and variety of problems in business and economics, students and researchers may not be able to cope and hence may remain unfamiliar with many aspects of business and economic problems. Thus, this book was written to explore basic and advanced studies of econometrics for undergraduate and graduate students of business and economics, as well as for researchers already engaged in these fields who require an introduction to econometric methods and their application for solving of real-life problems. The book offers a balanced presentation of fundamental and advanced levels of econometric concepts and methods, along with practical examples of their effective application in real-life problems.
An irresistible comedy about faith, desire, and middle-class morality from the man described by Kingsley Amis as “the funniest serious writer to be found on either side of the Atlantic” Pity the poor reverend Andrew Mackerel of the People’s Liberal Church of Avalon, Connecticut. His is the first split-level church in America, a bastion of modern thought and sophisticated virtue, yet even his prosperous parishioners are not immune to the backsliding evangelism infecting other parts of the country. One misguided congregant wants to sing hymns to hospital patients. Another goes so far as to put up a billboard with the message “Jesus Saves” written in phosphorescent green-and-orange letters. How is Mackerel supposed to write sermons with a vulgarity like that staring him in the face? Worse yet, the recently widowed pastor has fallen in love with Molly Calico, a former actress turned city hall clerk, well before the church is ready to stop mourning Mackerel’s saintly wife. Plans are under way for a shopping mall and memorial plaza commemorating the dear departed, and Mackerel must go to ever-greater lengths to keep his new romance a secret and his new paramour happy....
This Lecture Note deals with asymptotic properties, i.e. weak and strong consistency and asymptotic normality, of parameter estimators of nonlinear regression models and nonlinear structural equations under various assumptions on the distribution of the data. The estimation methods involved are nonlinear least squares estimation (NLLSE), nonlinear robust M-estimation (NLRME) and non linear weighted robust M-estimation (NLWRME) for the regression case and nonlinear two-stage least squares estimation (NL2SLSE) and a new method called minimum information estimation (MIE) for the case of structural equations. The asymptotic properties of the NLLSE and the two robust M-estimation methods are derived from further elaborations of results of Jennrich. Special attention is payed to the comparison of the asymptotic efficiency of NLLSE and NLRME. It is shown that if the tails of the error distribution are fatter than those of the normal distribution NLRME is more efficient than NLLSE. The NLWRME method is appropriate if the distributions of both the errors and the regressors have fat tails. This study also improves and extends the NL2SLSE theory of Amemiya. The method involved is a variant...
