On the Dark Side of the Archive examines nineteenth-century nation
building through narratives that are not part of the romantic or
realist traditions, specifically those associated with the critique
of traditional ideas often portrayed in Decadentism and modernismo.
The study focuses on the "non-canonical" works of
turn-of-the-century authors-including Jose Maria Vargas Vila,
Horacio Quiroga, Clemente Palma, and Jose Marti-and concludes with
a study that compares the literary portrayal of doomed societies in
the nineteenth century with the work of contemporary authors, such
as Fernando Vallejo. Gonzalez Espitia establishes a critique of the
concept of nation building in the romantic narratives of South
America. These narratives are generally characterized by underlying
erotic discourses meant to set the recently liberated countries of
Latin America on a path toward class harmony, racial integration,
socially beneficial marriage, and demographic expansion. An
analysis of nation-building narratives understood as erotic
discourses must also consider novels that manifest a dynamics of
self-destruction. The authors included in this book subvert the
idea of "nation" as a clear, positive, and fruitful space, bringing
a dose of reality to this elusive concept. These authors design
alternative futures for Latin America, futures that were seen as
fruitless, obscure, contemptible, or doomed.
While mentorship has been shown to be critical in helping graduate
students persist and complete their studies, and enter upon and
succeed in their academic careers, the under-representation of
faculty of color and women in higher education greatly reduces the
opportunities for graduate students from these selfsame groups to
find mentors of their race, ethnicity or gender. Recognizing that
mentoring across gender, race and ethnicity inserts levels of
complexity to this important process, this book both fills a major
gap in the literature and provides an in-depth look at successful
mentorships between senior white and under-represented scholars and
emerging women scholars and scholars of color. Following a
comprehensive review of the literature, this book presents chapters
written by scholars who share in-depth descriptions of their
cross-gender and/or cross-race/ethnicity mentoring relationships.
Each article is co-authored by mentors who are established senior
scholars and their former proteges with whom they have continuing
collegial relationships. Their descriptions provide rich insights
into the importance of these relationships, and for developing the
academic pipeline for women scholars and scholars of color. Drawing
on a comparative analysis of the literature and of the narrative
chapters, the editors conclude by identifying the key
characteristics and pathways for developing successful mentoring
relationships across race, ethnicity or gender, and by offering
recommendations for institutional policy and individual mentoring
practice. For administrators and faculty concerned about diversity
in graduate programs and academic departments, they offer clear
models of how to nurture the productive scholars and teachers
needed for tomorrow's demographic of students; for
under-represented students, they offer compelling narratives about
the rewards and challenges of good mentorship to inform their
expectations and the relationships they will develop as proteges.
Syphilis was a prevalent affliction in the era of the Americas'
colonization, creating widespread anxiety that is indicated in the
period's literature across numerous fields. Reflecting Spaniards'
political prejudices of the period, it was alternately labeled "mal
frances" or "el mal de las Indias." Sifilografia offers a cultural
history that traces syphilis and its consequences in the
transatlantic Spanish-speaking world throughout the long eighteenth
century. Juan Carlos Gonzalez Espitia charts interrelated literary,
artistic, medical, and governmental discourses, exploring how fears
of the disease and the search for its cure mobilized a transoceanic
dialogue that forms an underside of Enlightenment narratives of
progress.Through a narrative revealing the transformation and
retooling of ideas related to syphilis as a bodily contagion,
Gonzalez Espitia demonstrates the Spanish-speaking world's crucial
relevance to a global understanding of the period in the context of
current reassessments of Enlightenment thought. Broad in its scope,
the book incorporates an extensive corpus of medical treatises,
literary essays, poems, novels, art, and governmental documents.
The rich overlapping matrix of authors and texts broached subvert
the idea of a homogeneous interpretation of syphilis and
contributes to the rediscovery of the wide-ranging historical,
cultural, and philosophical impact of this disease in the
Spanish-speaking world. Sifilografia seeks to open a Productive
dialogue with other area studies about the disparate meanings of
science and Enlightenment.

Los metodos convencionales para eliminar iones metalicos a partir
de soluciones acuosas incluyen (a) precipitacion quimica (b) empleo
de resinas de intercambio ionico (c) procesos de
oxidacion/reduccion, osmosis reversa, electrodialisis,
ultrafiltracion, entre otros. La mas eficiente de las mencionadas
anteriormente es la osmosis reversa, pero de un costo altisimo y a
su vez genera agua de rechazo que presenta un concentrado de iones
metalicos, convirtiendose la misma en un agente contaminante de los
cuerpos de agua. Las tecnicas mencionadas, tienen limitaciones
inherentes, tales como menor eficiencia, condiciones muy sensibles
de trabajo operacional, produccion de lodos secundarios y una
posterior eliminacion que aumenta considerablemente los gastos de
produccion. Desde la decada de los 90, se desarrollo un proceso de
adsorcion de iones metalicos pesados empleando material organico
renovable de bajo costo. Este proceso se conoce como biosorcion del
cual daremos un detalle introductorio, para luego focalizarnos en
este reciente proceso de remediacion con el empleo de desechos
agricolas como material organico renovable de bajo costo."
