El principal propósito de este breve artículo es presentar a las mujeres como los textos de la novela Como agua para chocolate de Laura Esquivel. Siendo el "otro" y no el "uno" en una sociedad patriarcal, los textos femeninos en esta novela se desarrollan dentro del reino de la ambigüedad. Sin embargo, en la interacción dinámica donde lo simbólico y los elementos semióticos cumplen, las mujeres de este mundo tienden a reproducir los patrones simbólicos en lugar de los semióticos; de este modo, en un nivel superficial, perpetúan y refuerzan su imagen como seres inferiores, mientras que, en un nivel mucho más profundo, el discurso de doble voz les permite subvertir a la ideología dominante. The main purpose of this brief article is to present women as texts in Laura Esquivel's novel Como Agua para Chocolate. Being the "other" and not the "one" in a patriarchal society, the feminine texts in this novel evolve within the realm of ambiguity. However, in the dynamic interplay where the symbolic and the semiotic elements meet, women in this world tend to reproduce symbolic patterns rather than the semiotic ones; by so doing, on a surface level, they perpetuate and reinforce their image as inferior beings, whereas, on a much deeper level, double-voiced discourse enables them to subvert the ruling ideology.

Planteamos en el presente artículo una revisión de la incidencia, los principales factores de riesgo cardiovascular, y manifestaciones diferenciales de estas enfermedades entre mujeres y hombres por una parte desde el punto de vista biológico y por otra, y generalmente más olvidada desde el punto de vista del género, entendido como construcción social de lo femenino y lo masculino y poder así elaborar algunas conclusiones respecto a la prevención en general y específicamente en las mujeres.<br /><br />We propose in this article a review of the incidence, major cardiovascular risk factors, and differential signs of these diseases between women and men, on the one hand from the biological point of view and, on the other hand, and more generally neglected, from the point of view of the gender, understood as a social construction of the feminine and the masculine, and thus be able to draw some conclusions about prevention in general and specifically in women.<br /><br />

The notion of complexity — as in “education is a complex system” — has two different meanings. On the one hand, there is the epistemic connotation, with “Complex” meaning “difficult to understand, hard to control”. On the other hand, complex has a technical meaning, referring to systems composed of many interacting components, the interactions of which lead to self organization and emergence. For agents, participating in a complex system such as education, it is important that they can reduce the epistemic complexity of the system, in order to allow them to understand the system, to accomplish their goals and to evaluate the results of their activities. We argue that understanding, accomplishing and evaluation requires the creation of simplex systems, which are praxis-based forms of representing complexity. Agents participating in the complex system may have different kinds of simplex systems governing their understanding and praxis. In this article, we focus on three communities of agents in education — educators, researchers and policymakers — and discuss characteristic features of their simplex systems. In particular, we focus on the simplex system of educational researchers, and we discuss interactions — including conflicts or incompatibilities — between their simplex systems and those of educators and policymakers. By making some of the underlying features of the educational researchers’ simplex systems more explicit – including the underlying notion of causality and the use of variability as a source of knowledge — we hope to contribute to clarifying some of the hidden conflicts between simplex systems of the communities participating in the complex system of education.

This article seeks to reflect on the issue of sexual violence in the context of the twenty year anniversary of democracy in South Africa bringing together views from the authors’ respective disciplines of Gender and the Bible on the one hand and Political Science on the other. We will employ the Old Testament Book of Esther, which offers a remarkable glimpse into the way a patriarchal society is responsible for multiple levels of victimization, in order to take a closer look at our own country’s serious problem of sexual violence. With this collaborative engagement the authors contribute to the conversation on understanding and resisting the scourge of sexual violence in South Africa that has rendered a large proportion of its citizens voiceless.

Drawing on long-term ethnographic research in the Blue Nile town of Sennar, supported by archival and historical documentation, this article explores the history of Zar spirit possession in Sudan, and the light this throws on the interplay of religions over the past 150 years. Life history data supports the argument that contemporary Zar is grounded in forms and rituals derived from the ranks of the ninteenth-century Ottoman army, and these remain the basis of ritual events, even as they accommodate ongoing changes in this part of Africa. Many of these changes are linked to the dynamic interplay of Zar with forms of Islam, on the one hand, and Christianity, on the other. In the former colonial periods, political power resided with the British, and Khawaja (European) Christian Zar spirits are remembered as far more important. Today that authority in Zar has shifted to spirits of foreign Muslims and local holy men, on the one hand, and to subaltern Blacks, on the other. These speak to concerns of new generations of adepts even as changes in the larger political and religious landscapes continue to transform the context of Zar.

Discourse Organization

No presente artigo, buscamos identificar a representação feminina presente na revista Atrevida, por meio da análise dos modos de organização do discurso. Para tanto, utilizamos, como base teórica e metodológica, a Teoria Semiolinguística de Patrick Charaudeau, com recorte nos modos de organização do discurso descritivo e enunciativo. O corpus de pesquisa é composto pelas edições de abril, julho e novembro de 2015 da revista, nas quais analisamos as seções “Qual é a dele?”, “Meu corpo” e “Você é única”. A partir da análise realizada, concluímos que a revista coloca-se como amiga conselheira das leitoras, além de reproduzir, em sua maioria, uma representação baseada nos padrões comportamentais e estéticos tradicionalmente atribuídos às mulheres na sociedade patriarcal.   PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Representação; feminismo; modos de organização; discurso; revista Atrevida.     ABSTRACT In the present article, we seek to identify the feminine representation presented in the Atrevida magazine, through the analysis of the methods of discourse organization. For that, we use, as theoritical and methodological basis, the Semiolinguistic Theory of Patrick Charaudeau, with a side view on the descriptive and enunciative ways of discourse organization. The research corpus is composed of the magazines issues of April, July and November of 2015, in which we analyzed the sections "What's up with him?", "My body" and "You are unique". Based on our analysis, we concluded that the magazine poses as a friend of the reader, as well reproducing, for the most part, a representation based on the behavioral and aesthetic patterns traditionally attributed to women in patriarchal society.   KEYWORDS: Representation; feminism; Discourse organization; discourse; Atrevida magazine.     RESUMEN En este artículo, buscamos identificar la representación femenina en la revista Atrevida, a través del análisis de los modos de organización del discurso.

The Village

This article discusses the distribution of paternal property within rural communi-ties in the interior of the Iberian Peninsula, through an analysis of familial inher-itance of a widow from Extremadura. As a source for the study, the author draws on the Cadastre Ledger of the Marquis of Ensenada (1761), kept in the General Archive of Simancas (AGS), capturing changes in the family estate of a country widow (living in the village of Alcuéscar) in the mid-eighteenth century resulting from a transfer of property. Using the method of quantitative analysis developed by the Annales School, the author examines the issue from several standpoints; on the one hand, this enables insights into the increases and reductions in the volume of real estate (urban and rural) and the real estate assets of such women through pur-chases and sales. On the other, the author is also able to analyze and outline the distribution ofa widow’s property during her life and after her death.

Abstract The aim of this paper is to explain an unusual agreement pattern that arises between Tunisian Arabic broken plurals and their targets. For example, a verb may agree with a plural subject in all ɸ-features or, rather oddly, in singular/feminine, even when the subject (the controller) is masculine plural. Developing an idea first briefly sketched—but ultimately not adopted—by Zabbal (2002), we argue that broken plurals are hybrid nouns. Hybrid nouns have been the topic of much recent research (Corbett, 2000, 2015; den Dikken, 2001; Wechsler and Zlatić, 2003; Danon, 2011, 2013; Matushansky, 2013; Landau, 2015; Smith, 2015): either their syntactic or semantic features can be the target of agreement, creating the possibility of an agreement mismatch. Using Harbour’s (2011, 2014) theory of number, coupled with some innovations, we provide the featural make-up of Tunisian Arabic broken plurals and contrast it with that of collectives, on the one hand, and sound plurals, on the other. We propose that the feminine agreement seen with broken plurals is associated with a [+ group] feature, one that is exponed as -a. In the course of the discussion, we will argue that all gender features are visible at LF (Hammerly, 2018) and that semantic agreement is routinely possible with nouns that are low on the Animacy Hierarchy.

Resumen El estrago, referido específicamente al sujeto femenino, se sostiene en la observación resaltada por Lacan de que la niña parece buscar más subsistencia en la relación con la madre que con el padre,  bien como en el carácter erotómano de la demanda de las mujeres, resultado de una falta estructural relativa a la inexistencia de un significante que represente el sexo femenino en el inconsciente. Bajo esa perspectiva, el presente artículo resalta el lugar del superyó en la problemática del estrago madre-hija.Palabras-clave: Estrago, Superyó, Deseo de la Madre, Feminidad.Abstract Ravage, specifically referred to the feminine subject, is based on this observation made by Lacan: the girl seems to look for subsistence more in her relationship with the mother than in the one with the father, as well as in the erotomaniacal character of women's demand, result of a structural lack relative to the non-existence of a signifier which represents the feminine sex in the unconscious. From such a perspective, this paper highlights the place of the superego in the issue of the mother-daughter ravage.Keywords: ravage, superego, desire of the mother, femininity.Résumé Le ravage, qui se réfère exclusivement au sujet féminin, trouve appui sur cette observation faite par Lacan : la petite fille semblerait chercher plus de survie dans le rapport à la mère qu'au père, ainsi que dans le caractère érotomane de la demande des femmes, résultant d'un manque structurel concernant l'inexistence d'un signifiant qui représente le sexe féminin dans l'inconscient. Sous cet angle, cet article met en relief la place du surmoi dans la problématique du ravage mère-fille.Mots-clés : ravage, surmoi, désir de la mère, féminité.

This article is about the most important Turkish Sufi poet and, more specifically, about the presence and the pragmatics of ‘the Feminine’ in his experience—inasmuch as the latter is reflected in his work. To be sure, this is a case study, in the sense that it aspires to provide only an idea as to how ‘the Feminine’ pervades Sufi hierophanics/religion, and also in the sense that it does not assume to be a comprehensive and exhaustive discussion—not even of Yunus Emre himself. Select(ed) poems of Yunus Emre are explored in the methodological light of what Mircea Eliade has dubbed ‘hierophanic dialectics’, and what Catherine Clément and Julia Kristeva regard as ‘the Feminine’ in relation to the sacred/religious from the perspective of social anthropology and psychoanalysis. In the poetry of Yunus Emre ‘the Feminine’ turns out to be the subtle yet decisive challenge, opposition, and subversion that, on the one hand, negates symbolic Islam and, on the other, affirms imaginary Islam in the name of the Islamic real—to evoke the terminology of Jacques Lacan.

The Revolution

«Metrosexuals» or «übersexuals» are lately all the rage in mass media and among young people. This model is not new: it is the result of a process of transformation initiated some time ago in Westem Societies. The new man who worries about so, called female topics is on the one hand a social reality and on the other one, an advertising construction. «Metrosexuals» and «übersexuals» as a social reality are one of the results of the revolution carried out by women, however they are an advertising artefact as well, because they are the product of companies which through observation and due to advertising have tumed a minor trend into a mass phenomenon. Últimamente, el «metrosexual» o aübersexualm hace furor tanto en los medios de comunicación como entre los jóvenes, pero este modelo no es nuevo, es el resultado momentáneo de un proceso de transformación iniciado hace tiempo en las sociedades occidentales. El nuevo hombre, el que se preocupa de asuntos catalogados como femeninos, sin dejar de ser hombre, es un sujeto social y una construcción publicitaria. Es social porque es una de las consecuencias de la revolución llevada a cabo por las mujeres; y es publicitario porque es fruto de la observación y análisis de las empresas que, a partir de una tendencia socialmente minoritaria, lo convierten, mediante la publicidad, en un fenómeno de masas.
