Cet article examine le traitement du temps et l’exil dans L’énigme du retour (2009) de l’écrivain québécois d’origine haïtienne Dany Laferrière. Le roman suit les péripéties du protagoniste Windsor, alter ego de l’écrivain Dany, de retour dans son pays natal après avoir vécu en exil pendant trente-trois ans. Le sujet exilé tente d’organiser son expérience du déracinement depuis une perspective temporelle. L’exploration de ses rêves devient un moyen de retrouver le pays qu’il a quitté, en essayant d’annuler la distance temporelle et spatiale. Le retour à une enfance consolatrice au travers du rêve lui rappelle, de manière concomitante, le trauma paternel, dont l’absence a façonné son propre exil. Ce dernier engendre un sujet frontalier, dont l’identité est soumise au chevauchement temporel, et qui tente, malgré tout, de reconstruire son passé et d’imaginer une vie le ramenant sans cesse à la perte de l’origine.

The article analyzes the representation of posthuman gigantism in Central American migrants in transit to the United States in the novels "Amarás a Dios sobre todas las cosas" by Alejandro Hernández and "Las tierras arrasadas" by Emiliano Monge. It examines the actions of necropowers, deadly machines, and the transfiguration of the colossal bodies of migrants, highlighting their condition of uprooting and treatment as posthumans. The works reflect the violence and dehumanization in precarious migration, relating to necropolitics and necropolitical gigantism in Mexico and the United States. [Extracted from the article]

El estudio de las corpografías (corpographèses) en Waiting for the Barbarians de J.M. Coetzee permite establecer una sintomatología del cuerpo –ligada a las experiencias de la tortura y del erotismo– que asocia la enfermedad con la somnolencia en el texto ficcional y la parasitación del texto histórico representado. Los cuerpos torturados y carentes de deseo de los protagonistas sufren un proceso de reificación que manifiesta la aceleración de la caída del Imperio y la fragmentación de su cuerpo discursivo, así como refuerza el secreto y la ilegibilidad del texto inscrito en el cuerpo de la barbarie. Este texto/cuerpo indescifrable se enmarca en la paradoja del laberinto fronterizo cuya especularidad da lugar a la ilusión del control en el límite entre imperio y barbarie. Estudiaremos, en primer lugar, la escritura de la tortura en los cuerpos, enfocándonos en dos órganos –los ojos y los pies. Luego, nos interesaremos en la experiencia del erotismo entre los dos protagonistas. Finalmente, veremos cómo estos cuerpos vacuos establecen, en la frontera, un vínculo temporal en suspenso con el texto histórico y el relato memorial.

Este texto pretende mostrar que Butamalón presenta una canibalización (Jáuregui) del discurso histórico que se produce a raíz del trance (Andermann) fronterizo del personaje del Traductor que visibiliza la figura de Juan Barba, permitiendo exponer las lógicas de consumo de la sociedad contemporánea chilena –mediante una denuncia tácita al extractivismo–, así como su relación equívoca con su pasado histórico y su herencia indígena. La deglución y regurgitación de memorias múltiples y marginales, en el espacio ambivalente de la frontera, participa de la construcción de un relato heteroglósico y corporeizado, conservando un sesgo ideológico predominado por la colonialidad del poder.

A total of 7,766,737 adverse event records were analyzed.Results: 96.6% of reports originated with the manufacturer. Patients (patients/family/friend) were the most frequent submitter of reports directly to the FDA, almost five times as often as physicians. Nurses submitted reports directly to the FDA 2.77 times as often as physicians. Only 0.49% of physician reports were submitted directly to the FDA, representing 0.09% of total MAUDE reports.Conclusion: Increasing physician reporting directly to the FDA and MAUDE through the MedWatch reporting system is an imperative. Incorporating information from the perspective of the physician has the potential of increasing the quality of the data and improving the reliability of post-market surveillance.Keywords: FDA, MAUDE, reporter, occupation, medical device, adverse events

This article seeks to expose the bonds between the mythical and fictional character Robinson Crusoe, the philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau, and the utopian educator Simón Rodríguezin the historical novel La Isla de Robinson (1981) de Arturo Uslar Pietri. The story exploresthe process of Latin American independence in the 19th century through the character of Simon Rodríguez, Simón Bolívar's private tutor, transformed in Samuel Robinson for 26 years. First, we'll approach, from a mytho critical perspective, the emergence of Robinson's figure inthe tale of the Latin American writer and its impact on the "Latin American identity" issue. Then, we'll study the characteristics of the education project of Rodríguez in the historical novel. Finally, we'll focus on the subversion of the mythical figure of Robinson Crusoe in this Latin American utopian discourse.
