Researh Challenges for Anglophone Studies in the 21st Century
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Desde un punto de vista cuantitativo, los estudios culturales ocupan sin duda un espacio menor. Sin embargo, los tres articulos aqui presentados dan cuenta de la variedad de perspectivas posibles dentro de este apartado. No solo abarcan estos estudios diferentes generos literarios, sino que recorren diferentes epocas historicas, desde el renacimiento hasta nuestros dias. Asi, destaca la recepcion de la obra de Shakespeare adaptada a los principios esteticos del siglo XVIII espanol, la aparicion de un problema tan actual como la violencia domestica en el teatro y el cine de mediados del siglo XX o la vinculacion de posicionamientos contraculturales de la generacion Beat en la musica de Bod Dylan. Todos estos estudios exploran, pues, la relacion entre las practicas culturales, la vida diaria y los contextos historicos en los que se producen.Como suele ser habitual, gran parte de las contribuciones presentadas en este volumen se centran en el estudio del aprendizaje del ingles como segunda lengua, una de las principales preocupaciones del sistema educativo espanol en estos momentos, tanto en la etapa preuniversitaria como universitaria. Es logico, por tanto, que estos jovenes investigadores muestren interes por un asunto que atane a un elevado numero de estudiantes en la sociedad actual. Los estudios van desde el analisis de libros de texto utilizados en la ensenanza del ingles, para comprobar si estos textos adoptan correctamente las cuatro destrezas basicas (listening, speaking, speaking, writing) al aprendizaje de la lengua desde el punto de vista de una aproximacion comunicativa, hasta la relacion de la prosodia y la utilizacion de audifonos por parte de personas sordas o la percepcion que tienen los estudiantes de la pronunciacion del ingles. Como se ve, problemas muy cercanos a la realidad pedagogica.Las contribuciones literarias se centran exclusivamente en autores del siglo XX (incluida una adaptacion al Londres actual de una obra de Shakespeare), pero recorren todos los generos literarios, asi como el cine. En general, estos estudios se fijan en obras concretas y las analizan desde perspectivas culturales, sociologicas o psicologicas. Podemos encontrar autores consagrados, como Theodore Roethke y Ted Hughes o escritoras mas localistas, como la canadiense Jeannette Armstrong, y sobresalen miradas postmodernistas, tanto en el ambito de la novela como del cine.En definitiva, se trata de una seleccion de articulos altamente prometedora, que supone un claro desafio al futuro de los Estudios Ingleses. Por todo ello, hay que felicitar a todos los participantes y, sobre todo, a los editores de este volumen, que han demostrado una enorme capacidad de trabajo y entusiasmo.Antonio Lopez SantosDirector del Departamento de Filologia Inglesa Universidad de SalamancaSalamanca, septiembre de 2012Descripcion larga (Ingles): From a quantitative point of view, cultural studies take up less space. But the three articles presented here give an account of the variety of possible perspectives within this section. They cover not only the different literary genres, but they also encompass different historical periods, from the Renaissance to the present. Thus, we can mention the reception of Shakespeare adapted to the prevailing aesthetic principles of 18th century Spain; the emergence of relevant issues, such as domestic violence in the theatre and cinema of the mid-19th century; or the underlying connection between the countercultural Beat Generation and the music of Bob Dylan. All these studies explore, therefore, the relationship between cultural practices, daily life, and the historical contexts in which they take place.As usual, a great number of the contributions presented in this volume focus on the learning of English as a second language, one of the main concerns of the Spanish education system at the moment, both in the pre-university and university stages.Therefore it is reasonable that these young researchers investigate an issue that affects a large number of students in today's society. Studies range from the analysis of textbooks used in the teaching of English, in order to check if these materials correctly adopt the four basic skills (listening, speaking, speaking, writing) of the language learning process from the point of view of a communicative approach, to the relationship between prosody and the use of hearing aids by blind people or the perception that the students of English have of pronunciation. Their articles remain very close to real pedagogical problems.Literary contributions focus on authors of the 20th century, although there is also an adaptation of a Shakespearian play to present-day London, and cover all literary genres, and explore new territories of the inter-disciplinary studies, such as the relationship of literature and cinema. In general these studies focus on specific works and analyse them from a wide range of cultural, sociological and psychological perspectives. We can find studies of highly acclaimed authors such as the American Theodore Roethke and the British Ted Hughes, together with other less known writers, such as the Canadian Jeannette Armstrong, whose works are scrutinized from a wealth of postmodernist paradigm, both in novels and films.In short, this book constitutes a highly promising selection of articles, which poses a clear challenge to the future of English Studies. Therefore, congratulations go to all individual participants and, above all, to the editors of this volume, who have displayed a great capacity of work and enthusiasm.Antonio Lopez SantosChair of the Department of English Studies.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
