The future of reproduction in Eve Smith’s Off Target and Kira Peikoff’s Baby X
This essay analyses two novels that explore reproductive scenarios which may be implemented in the near future: human germline genome editing and in vitro gametogenesis (IVG), dramatised in Eve Smith's Off-Target (2022) and Kira Peikoff's Baby X (2024), respectively.Smith's Off Target considers the plethora of medical, ethical, social and familial implications of germline editing, which is used to modify an embryo's genome and enhance it with tra…
The role of immersion learning in the acquisition and processing of L2 gender agreement
In this paper, we examine the effects of learning environment on second language (L2) gender agreement. English speakers learning L2 Spanish participated in a self-paced reading task and a picture selection task prior to and after a short-term study abroad experience. The results from the self-paced reading task showed that their reliance on the masculine article as the default (e.g., McCarthy, Corrine. 2008. Morphological variability in the comp…
Quais são as contribuições da teoria de Lucien Goldmann hoje
A teoria de Lucien Goldmann destaca-se especialmente nas discussões da sociologia da cultura. Isso porque ele desenvolveu conceitos particulares para a análise sociológica da literatura, embora sua obra seja criticada em vários aspectos. Com isso, muitos intelectuais relegam sua teoria, como se o autor não tivesse deixado nenhuma herança intelectual. No presente trabalho temos como objetivo evidenciar que, na verdade, parte de suas reflexões teór…
When ‘domestic’ and ‘international’ students study abroad
The present study examines the language- and culture-learning perceptions of domestic and international students from a Canadian university who participated in an intensive four-week-long Spanish language and cultural immersion program in Spain. The study draws on quantitative and qualitative data to explore the ways in which the participants’ previous international, language learning experiences influenced their acculturation in Spain. A languag…
Learning a language abroad and the implications for social participation and positioning
For second language learners, an international experience can have positive effects on language learning and intercultural development even when participating in a program of relatively short duration. One issue which has not yet received attention is the potential impact that the study abroad experience may have on social participation and position as perceived by the learners themselves. The present study draws on post-structural views of secon…
Translating the Violent Content of Grimm Brothers’ Fairy Tales
O rastreamento ocular tem sido introduzido como uma ferramenta para analisar os processos cognitivos dos tradutores. Pesquisas recentes com rastremento ocular concentram-se em examinar processos de tradução. No nosso conhecimento, no entanto, tal ferramenta ainda não foi usada para detectar comportamentos de movimento ocular relacionados ao Transtorno de Estresse Pós-Traumático (TEPT) dos tradutores, já que tais estudos estão apenas emergindo. Es…
New Bodies, New Identities? The Negotiation of Cloning Technologies in Young Adult Fiction
Study abroad learners’ metalinguistic and sociocultural reflections on short- and long-term international experiences
English-speaking learners of L2 Spanish who were taking part in a four-week study abroad program in Spain and Japanese-speaking learners of L2 English who were individually studying in year-long abroad experiences participated in the present study. Quantitative and qualitative data from language questionnaires and contact profiles along with open-ended responses revealed details on learners’ engagement with and use of their languages while abroad…
The Handbook of Translation and Cognition
This chapter aims to show how cognitive approaches in translation studies recognize social or cultural aspects in the translation event and integrate them into their models to reflect the translation process. Among the pioneering scholars who include explicit references to social aspects in their models of dynamic meaning construction are Larson, who takes a tripartite view of meaning with referential, structural and situational elements, and Kuß…

The Sexual Politics of Ectogenesis in the To-day and To-morrow Series
The present study investigates the concept of ectogenesis and the debate that accrued around it in Britain in the 1920s and 1930s, especially as it was discussed in the 'To-day and To-morrow' series of books and the circle of intellectuals associated with it. I will look in particular at J. B. S. Haldane's Daedalus, or Science and the Future (1923), Anthony Ludovici's Lysistrata, or Woman's Future and Future Woman (1924), Norman Haire's Hymen, or…
Primate Tales
This essay reflects on the topic of human/animal hybrids as they appear dramatized in Maureen Duffy’s Gor Saga (1981), Pat Murphy’s “Rachel in Love” (1987), and Charis Thompson Cussins’s short story “Confessions of a Bioterrorist: Subject Position and Reproductive Technologies” (1998). These texts also fictionalize the topic of interspecies pregnancy and the vexed question of humanizing the animal and potentially bestializing the human. Human/ani…
Soroepidemiologia da hepatite B e C em índios Kaingang do Sul do Brasil
There were low prevalences of HBV and HCV infection in the Kaingang population studied. The high prevalence of anti-HB(s) in younger individuals indicates good immunization coverage. In the adult population, immunity against HBV was probably acquired mainly by contact with the virus
