Health System Organization and Logistics of Trauma Care Since the Russian Invasion of Ukraine: A Qualitative Assessment
The February 2022 Russian invasion in Ukraine delayed healthcare reforms. The conflict has led to disruption of medical supply chains and a rapid need for integration between military and civilian entities. This study aims to assess the organization and logistics of the Ukrainian trauma system since the Russian invasion. Qualitative key informant interviews were conducted among Ukrainian military and civilian health care workers using a Ukraine T…
El boga que se repite en la poesía de Candelario Obeso, Jorge Artel y Manuel Zapata Olivella
La figura del boga poético, un tropo y una máquina que se repite según mi interpretación de la teoría posmoderna de Antonio Benítez Rojo, une lo que parece ser una tradición alternativa al canon nacional. El boga personifica la libertad, la prisión y la violencia en las obras clásicas de Candelario Obeso y Jorge Artel. A esta tradición quisiera agregar al novelista Manuel Zapata Olivella (1920-2004) por poetizar al boga. En su obra maestra, la no…

La Diáspora Africana Y La Doble Consciencia Según Paul Gilroy Y Manuel Zapata Olivella
Coronel Delmiro Gouveia , Brazilian (Film) Industry, and World War I in the Sertão
In the film Coronel Delmiro Gouveia (1978), Brazilian director Geraldo Sarno uses historical fiction about “the coronel of coronéis ” to negotiate the limits of government censorship and discuss the domestic and international policies of the military dictatorship, including its relationship to the state cinema enterprise Embrafilme, through a portrayal of a progressive but authoritarian businessman of the sertão who died in Brazil’s first global …

Hispania: An Iberian Union for the New Millennium
This essay looks back at exemplary moments of the first 100 years of Hispania and uses this history to glean ideas for the future of the journal. The publication’s fate has been tied to that of the United States, its world languages programs, and US understandings of the Iberian world. I examine the terms “Hispania” and “Hispanic” as means of commemorating the broad, interdisciplinary scope for the journal and advocating for its continued expansi…
The Place of the Forge: The African Diaspora, History, and Comparative Literature
In times of crisis when literature and world languages are threatened by economic hardship, they should draw closer to African diaspora studies. The African diaspora is so vast, longstanding, and diverse that it must be studied using a comparative, multilingual, interdisciplinary, and international approach that includes study in French, Portuguese, and Spanish alongside an understanding of Latin America. Breaking with the academic marginalizatio…
The Pan American Imagination: Contested Visions of the Hemisphere in Twentieth-Century Literature
Confluence Narratives: Ethnicity, History, and Nation-Making in the Americas
Anonio Luciano de Andrade Tosta has taken the field of inter-American studies in his own direction. Pioneered by Earl Fitz, Gustavo Pérez Firmat, Nina Scott, Elizabeth Lowe, and Sophia McClennen (to name only a few), this approach unites the Americas through the comparative method. Scholars like Lesley Feracho and Ilan Stavans have used identity politics (representations of women and Jews, respectively) to link the Americas, but Tosta has synthes…
"Tapia's "Póstumo el Transmigrado: A Pre-Incarnation of Brás Cubas
This article argues that Puerto Rican Alejandro Tapia y Rivera's novel Póstumo el Transmigrado is an important precursor to Machado de Assis's Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas. By placing the two works in dialogue with one another, the article shows that the common influence of Kardecist spiritism appears to be an inspiration for these authors' projects of challenging the mimetic language of their time-particularly that used in science, social Dar…

AfroReggae: Antropofagia , Sublimation, and Intimate Revolt in the Favela
The documentary Favela Rising (2005) and its companion narrative, Culture is Our Weapon (2010), depict the AfroReggae cultural movement as a break with the past, a means of creating citizenship for Brazilian favelas . A leitmotif of the film is struggling to end the communities’ “paralysis” caused by the domination of drug lords and corrupt, brutal police. Many residents and viewers feel that the favela lies outside the Brazilian nation. However,…

Energy, Security and Foreign Policy: A Review Essay
In the three years since the oil embargo of 1973-1974 even casual newspaper readers have become aware that there are links between energy, security and foreign policy. Despite the fact that access to resources, especially fossil fuels, has become an integral part of any security equation for industrial countries, their energy policies remain fragmented and subject to the vagaries of domestic politics as well as the pressures of foreign policy.
