A tanulmányt (URL1) két, az Amerikai Egyesült Államokban (USA) élő és kutató tudós jegyzi. Jeremy Slack a University of Texas, El Paso (UTEP) földrajz docense. Doktori fokozatát a University of Arizona-n szerezte, fő kutatási területe az államhatárhoz kapcsolódó bűncselekmények (ember-, kábítószer- csempészés, személy elleni erőszakos jogsértések), valamint az államhatalmi eljárások problémái (kitoloncolás, családi kapcsolatok megszakadása). Josiah Heyman az UTEP antropológia professzora. Munkásságának főbb iránya az államhatár (jellemzően USA–Mexikó) jogellenes átlépéséhez kapcsolódó elkövetői oldal, valamint az azt kezelő államhatalmi fellépés vizsgálata, szembefordítása. Tanulmányaiban megjelenik mestere, Eric R. Wolf (URL2) értékrendje, aki a hatalomhoz kötődő erőszak intézményét bírálta publikációiban. A publikáció a „Journal of Latin American Geography” című folyóiratban jelent meg, amelyet a Latin-amerikai Földrajzi Konferencia (CLAG) ad ki és a University of Texas Press terjeszti 1970-ben történt alapítása óta (URL3), H-indexe 20. A téma aktualitása vitathatatlan, hiszen az ellenőrizetlen és ellenőrzött globális migráció, a COVID-19 azonosítóval jelzett globális humán pandémia a Föld egész lakosságát érinti.

The Voice

e24189 Background: Most cancer narratives are provided by skilled American and British writers (Broyard, Hitchens, Jobs, Kalanithi, Pausch, Sacks, Sontag or Wishart). This paper highlights the voice of ordinary Latin American patients who wrote about their experience. Methods: Between February 2, 2019 and March 3, 2019, the first author encouraged cancer patients to narrate their experience with the disease for an online literary contest (“ www.oncologiaesperanzadora.com ”). After studying all submissions, we grouped attitudes, feelings, metaphors and descriptions used in different domains related to the course of the disease. A text-mining study was conducted to identify the context of keywords in each of the domains. Results: In total, 224 literary works were submitted to the contest. Characteristics of the population: sex F/M: 184/40; age at time of contest: 53 yo (18-82); time between diagnosis and submission to contest: 8 y (1-73); country of origin: Argentina (201), other countries (23); diagnosis: breast (130), hematological (15), colorectal (13), melanoma (6), lung (5), head and neck (5), kidney (3), other (47). The table shows keywords found in each of the domains. Conclusions: 1) Cancer patients are willing to share their story if they are given the opportunity. 2) Through the narratives of the disease, it is possible to study its impact on patients’ lives and the different coping strategies. 3) Reading the experience of patients with the disease in their own voice is a valuable instrument for medical education.

A Trail of Bread Crumbs to Follow, or Gothic Rewritings of ‘Hansel and Gretel’ by Lina Meruane, Jorge Volpi and Mariana Enríquez

This article analyses postmodern Gothic rewritings of ‘Hansel and Gretel’ by three Latin American writers as works in which different degrees of appropriation of themes and strategies from the classic tale, and the use of the metaphor of the magic mirror, achieve ideologically subversive effects. Gothic rewritings of ‘Hansel and Gretel’ by Meruane, Volpi and Enríquez denounce intolerance and present an eminent link between literary works and troubled historical contexts.
