El artículo demuestra y analiza el hecho de que en Nicaragua hacia fines del siglo XX, había un porcentaje más alto de liderazgo femenino en los centros de trabajo, que en Noruega, patria de la autora. Noruega además es conocido por tener varias décadas de política pública de igualdad entre los sexos. El artículo explora algunas interpretaciones de este paradoja. Se destaca la capacidad de acción que demuestran las mujeres nicaragüenses en una cultura de género donde se enfatiza la diferencia. En el caso noruego se ha establecido una maquinaria de igualdad, en la cual se enfatiza la competencia directa entre los géneros, conllevando dilemas poco placenteros para las mujeres. Tanto las estrategias de diferencia, como las de igualdad, parecen reproducir la desigualdad de género. Tal vez sería mejor propagandizar como meta la justicia que la diferencia o la igualdad?

For this we compare diachronically the political-administrative transformation in this urban center: during liberalism of the last quarter of the nineteenth century and early s. XX; and during the neoliberalism of the late twentieth century. The speech of the speakers of liberal and neoliberal modernity will have special attention, as conveys the ideals of governments to achieve progress or development. These yearnings of modernity are reflected in the urban landscape and of course meet and unmeet the aspirations of the citizens of this Central American capital.Keywords: modernity – (neo) liberalism – urban models

La ópera es un espectaculo globalizado, una Gesamtkunstwerk (obra de arte integral) según las teorías de Richard Wagner. Esa interacción de elementos convergentes (música, texto, canto, puesta en escena) culmina con la incorporación de la pantalla como parte integrante del montaje escénico desde finales del siglo XX. En este texto nos fijamos en el proceso de la audiovisualización de la ópera como espectáculo con el estudio de un caso: el montaje de El anillo del Nibelungo de Richard Wagner realizado por Carlus Padrissa y estrenado en el Palau de las Arts de Valencia (2007). En él, la interacción de la pantalla era fundamental para la comprensión del drama musical wagneriano. Opera is a global performance, a Gesamtkunstwerk (total work of art) according to the theories of Richard Wagner. This interaction of converging elements (music, text, singing, staging) culminates with the incorporation of the screen as part of staging since the late twentieth century. In this paper we look at the process ‘audiovisualisation’ of the opera as performance with a case study: the production of Richard Wagner’s The Ring of the Nibelung by Carlus Padrissa and premiered at the Palau de les Arts in Valencia (2007). In it, the interaction of the screen was essential to understanding the Wagnerian musical drama.

El objetivo de este artículo es demostrar que existe una marcada presencia de las ideas de Gilles Deleuze en la era posteórica de la crítica literaria. Para tal propósito, en primer lugar se hace una revisión sucinta de la recepción de las ideas filosóficas francesas en la academia estadounidense de fines del siglo XX, creadora de la hoy llamada Teoría francesa en los estudios literarios. En segundo lugar, este artículo se centra en el análisis de la lectura de superficie, una propuesta de crítica literaria de Sharon Marcus y Stephen Best. Aunque el nombre de Deleuze no aparezca en los fundamentos de esta propuesta, este artículo argumenta que la lectura de superficie es en esencia una práctica deleuziana.                                                                                                                                                                                     The objective of this article is to demonstrate that there is a marked presence of the ideas of Gilles Deleuze in the post-theoretical era of literary criticism. For this purpose, we first make a succinct review of the reception of French philosophical ideas in the American academy of the late twentieth century, creator of the so-called French theory in literary studies. Second, this article focuses on the analysis of surface reading, a literary criticism proposal by Sharon Marcus and Stephen Best. Although the name of Deleuze does not appear in the foundations of this proposal, this article argues that the reading of the surface is essentially a Deleuzian practice.

What did it mean to be a man in Scotland over the past nine centuries? Scotland, with its stereotypes of the kilted warrior and the industrial ‘hard man’, has long been characterised in masculine terms, but there has been little historical exploration of masculinity in a wider context. This interdisciplinary collection examines a diverse range of the multiple and changing forms of masculinities from the late eleventh to the late twentieth century, exploring the ways in which Scottish society through the ages defined expectations for men and their behaviour. How men reacted to those expectations is examined through sources such as documentary materials, medieval seals, romances, poetry, begging letters, police reports and court records, charity records, oral histories and personal correspondence. Focusing upon the wide range of activities and roles undertaken by men – work, fatherhood and play, violence and war, sex and commerce – the book also illustrates the range of masculinities that affected or were internalised by men. Together, the chapters illustrate some of the ways Scotland’s gender expectations have changed over the centuries and how, more generally, masculinities have informed the path of Scottish history

Trey Ellis has emerged as a prominent African American writer of the late-twentieth century, despite the small number of his published works. “The New Black Aesthetic,” an essay that he first published in CaUaloo in 1989, one year after the publication of his first novel, Platitudes, stands as a manifesto that defines and articulates his perspective on the emerging black literary voices and culture of the time, and on “the future of African American artistic expression” in the postmodern era.1 According to Eric Lott, Ellis's novel parodies the literary and cultural conflict between such male experimental writers as lshmael Reed and such female realist writers as Alice Walker.2 Thus, Ellis's primary purpose in writing Platitudes is to redefine how African Americans should be represented in fiction, implying that neither of the dominant approaches can completely articulate late-twentieth-century black experience when practiced in isolation. In its final passages, Platitudes represents a synthesis of the two literary modes or styles, and it embodies quite fully the diversity of black cultural identities at the end of the twentieth century as it extends African American literature beyond racial issues. In this way, the novel exemplifies the literary agenda that Ellis suggests in his theoretical essay.

Late Twentieth Century

Over the last decade, a noteworthy number of published studies have, in one fashion or another, been defined with reference to religious denominations. This is an arresting fact, for, coincidentally, the status of religious denominations in the society has been called into question. Some formerly powerful bodies have lost membership (at least relatively speaking) and now experience reduced influence, while newer forms of religious organization(s)—e.g., parachurch groups and loosely structured movements—have flourished. The most compelling recent analysis of religion in modern American society gives relatively little attention to them. Why, then, have publications in large numbers appeared, in scale almost seeming to be correlated inversely to this trend?No single answer to this question is adequate. Surely one general factor is that historians often “work out of phase” with contemporary social change. If denominations have been displaced as a form of religious institution in society in the late twentieth century, then their prominence in earlier eras is all the more intriguing.

In the second century, the Roman Emperor Hadrian deified his male lover, Antinous, after the latter drowned in the Nile. Antinous’ worship was revived in the late twentieth century, primarily by gay men and other queer-identified individuals, with Antinous himself being recast as “the Gay God.”
