Resumen
This article analyzes Cuban writer Dulce Maria Loynaz’s novel Jardín,focusing on her strategies to subvert different models of femininity.The novel maintains a rich dialogue with different aesthetic trends, whose forms of expression are both accepted and criticized for the limitations they impose on the development of feminine subjectivity.In Jardín, the journey through the different aesthetic, ideological proposals that have helped shape the modern subject presents Loynaz’s criticism of how these construct the feminine subject and her position in terms of gender and sexuality. This journey takes place from within these aesthetic positions, based on the author’s productive appropriation of the novel’s textuality which she transmits through the language of romanticism, symbolism, modernism and vanguardism. Jardín shows how these movements both open and close opportunities for female expression and development.Keywords: Dulce Maria Loynaz; Cuban literature; Garden; female subjectivity; literary models.

Resumen
In literature published throughout the 20th century and at the beginning of the 21st century, we find what can be called a literary series about homosexuality. In the history of Costa Rican literature, in the early-20th century we find Jenaro Cardona’s novel La esfinge del sendero (1914) and just after the first half of the last century, Jose Leon Sanchez’s La isla de los hombres solos (1963), which presents homosexuality as part of prison violence. It wasn’t until the late-20th century that literature abandoned the allusions that excluded everything related to sexuality to adopt a new way of bringing not only homosexuality, but sexuality in general, out of the closet.The illustrative value of these publications proposes a reinterpretation of the Costa Rican State and the role of its institutions, which gave rise to the significance of this gesture in contemporary Costa Rican literature.

Resumen
In this essay we propose an interpretation of the novel Sopa de caracol (2002) by Guatemalan writer Arturo Arias based on the role of sexuality in the desubjetivization of the protagonist. We also analyze how the aesthetic of the grotesque and the carnivalesque model are set in motion to destabilize gender identity and thus demonstrate its inability to reconstruct itself after the catastrophe of war.

Resumen
This article refers to methods and styles of autobiographical writing: two “diaries” and a collection of letters written in the context of the Central American wars during the 1980s. The quotation marks are used here to indicate the generic ambiguity of the two texts represented as diaries. Our objective is to illustrate how these writings have been constructed in different scenarios, all marked by the violence of those historical circumstances.

Resumen
This article discusses how literary, linguistic, and grammatical canons are violated in La Guaracha del Macho Camacho. Its overall objective is to show that language has been used as a mechanism of resistance against hegemonic groups as it questions their position in Puerto Rican society. To achieve this objective, we propose three secondary objectives: first, identify the contradiction in the context of Puerto Rico between the social values proposed by the United States and those held on the island; second, explain the “anti-national” nature of the novel to the extent that it does not portray a single language but rather reflects the diglossia of street language; and, third, illustrate the use of Bakhtin’s concept of hybridization as a mechanism of construction of a linguistic register thatis different from its component parts. The article concludes that Sanchez’s text criticizes the ruling class of Puerto Rican society by vulgarizing it and making it as common as the lower classes, with whom they have no noticeable differences (at least in this text).

Resumen
This study looks at the story and character development of detective Mario Conde, protagonist of Cuban author Leonardo Padura’s eight crime novels. In the tetralogy that begins with Pasado Perfecto in 1991 and ends with the ambitious last installment entitled Herejes in 2013, Conde acts mostly during what is known as the Cuban “Special Period,” marked by the fall of the Soviet Union, to later land in the first decade of the 21st century. This “Special Period” produced a fracturing of crime fiction in Cuba and, as a result, the officially-supported revolutionary crime fiction that was born in the early 1970s later transformed in the 1990s to become part of the neo-crime genre that the rest of Latin America had been producing since a decade before.Far from the exemplary revolutionary characters of the original genre, Padura’s neo-crime characters not only solve crimes, but also commit them themselves and evade the law. Based on the cases he investigates, Conde moves within this paradoxical behavior while he deconstructs and demystifies the greatest revolutionary discourses and policies.

Resumen
The main purpose of this article is to analyze Puerto Rican author Ana Lydia Vega’s Vírgenes y Mártires and Encancaranublado y otros cuentos de naufragio. Based on these texts, my interest lies in examining two fundamental aspects: the ways in which new subjectivities burst onto the stage in Puerto Rican literature in the early 1980s and the multiple intersecting lines between Vega’s storytelling and the Antilles, a cultural meta-archipelago described by Antonio Benitez Rojo as the intersection of various times and spaces.

Resumen
This article analyses the negative implications due to the operation of the sanitary landfill and the new treatment plant at Rio Azul, in La Union, Cartago, Costa Rica. The paper also refers the successful teaching experience of implementing an educational action project in the local school and community. Therefore, the objective focuses on making visible the reasons for opening and closing the landfill, as well as on the social and environmental damages still present on the memory of inhabitants, and these prejudices can be inherited to the new generations with resilient objectives. Through a critical environmental education, it is possible to consider the contradictions in the waste management, from the administrative point of view, of the Costa Rica State, and the damage caused to the society and the environment. Issues being repeated with some peculiar nuances in several Costa Rican communities.

Resumen
This article describes the teaching experience developed in the Environment History of Costa Rica course; an optional course given at the School of History for the environmental training of university students, between 2013 and 2015, as a maturity corollary of the Monitoring committee of Environmental Agro-ecological History. For this, it is needed a renewed point of view of the environmental education, taking into account old educative conceptions and new postulates of the Costa Rica teaching practice. To explain these processes, different sources were used, and the techniques implemented during the course are described in a general way. In this regard, under the historical investigative research experience, this article underlines the transcendence of new teaching ways.
