Resumen
In the novels titled La Genara and Como cashora al sol, Conde represents women in a context that limits them, and that at the same time offers them the possibility to decide for themselves and in that way be subjects of their own consequences. Her female characters opt to make the most of opportunities, if they wish to do so, and not be subjugated in a patriarchal society that sets them aside in their border social environment. This article analyses the diversity of borders crossed by the female protagonists in both novels. It will be observed in Conde's attempt to portray a reality that affects women, how women are in a state of liminality, ambiguity, and of transformation which contribute to the arrival to a zone where border crossings are constant.

Resumen
The article examines two films inspired by the Adolfo de Jesús Constanzo murders, which took place in Matamoros and in Mexico city in the 1980s, most notably in 1989 when he sacrificed the American student Mark Kilroy. Constanzo employed an odd and repellant mix of the Afro-Hispanic religions, santería and palo mayombe to carry out his ritual murders and control his followers. The two films are Perdita Durango (1997) by Alex de la Iglesia, and Borderland (2007) by Zev Berman.

Resumen
The article explores the theme of the massive migration of Galician naturals to Cuba near the end of the 19th century and its treatment in Rosalía de Castro?s poetry, particularly in her two collections written in Galician language: Cantares gallegos (1863) and Follas novas (1880), in which the poet states her denunciation of the state of abandonment of the Galician countryside and the poverty suffered by those left behind, mainly women and children.

Resumen
In this article it is established that the Iberian-based Creole languages of South America (Saramaccan, Papiamento, and Palenquero) are genetically related to the Portuguese creoles of West Africa (Caboverndian, Guinea-Bissau Kriol, Saotomense, Angolar, Principense, and Annobonese). This kinship is confirmed by means of a comparison of several wordlists. This vocabulary shows special features shared by the compared Creoles. However, those features can not be found in standard Portuguese.

Resumen
This essay presents a view of the global work of Dostoyevsky, emphasizing the ethical and metaphysical problems in his four great novels, Crime and Punishment, The Demons, The Idiot, and The Brothers Karamazov. The intention is to make evident the possibility of reading Dostoyevsky beyond the religious thought that the author has wanted to suggest, in order to understand the complexity of the personalities of his main characters through a framework of diverse variables.

Retana, Camilo
Universidad de Costa Rica
Resumen
In this article I intend to problematize the role –overdimensioned– that has been assigned in the classic theory to the rationality. For this I struggle with the common argument according to which the senses trouble the cognitive processes. In my alternative proposal to that epistemology I present the fury as main category. In the text I debate that such ethical-epistemic tool, which precedence is imminently emotional, would not only trouble the cognitive procedures but on the opposite would overpower them (particularly those related to the criticism of the hegemonic moral systems). As examples of this critic to the rationality and of this defense to the fury I present some manifestations of vanguards art and some philosophical ideas of non –rationalist philosophers.

Resumen
In this essay, I will analyze a newspaper article titled “Nos queda la palabra” and compare it with the short story “Fátima de los Naufragios.” Both pieces were written by Lourdes Ortiz. I will investigate how reality and fiction become intertwined in the literary pieces as they portray Africans crossing the straits of Gibraltar in small boats and the welcome they receive in the new land. Also in this project my student, Nelly García, will analyze another short story, “La Piel de Marcelinda,” in which a different problematic of immigrants to Spain is explored. This short story delves into the exploitation of females taken to Spain under the false pretenses (jobs) but ending up as prostitutes.
