Stepping Up to Global Challenges (SGC) 2: Learning English While Fighting the Outbreak of Covid-19

By: Susana Amante

In 2020, the project ‘Stepping Up to Global Challenges (SGC): Empowering Students across the World’ was launched, during the difficult period when the COVID-19 pandemic was spreading across the globe and causing the lockdown of several activities. Education was also severely affected, but, even if the response widely varied at the time, remote learning, telecollaboration and project-based approaches were adopted by many teachers, “encourag[ing] learners to take an active role in their own learning process and to learn how to collaborate successfully with others in order to solve real world challenges” (Mont & Masats, 2018, p. 93). At the Polytechnic of Viseu (Portugal), Ege University (Turkey) and UTH University (Poland), four teachers of English decided to embrace the idea of diluting frontiers and exploring the potential of Information and Communication Technologies through telecollaboration, in which the students developed tasks around the topic of entrepreneurship. Stepping Up to Global Challenges (SGC2): Learning English while Fighting the Outbreak of Covid-19 is a funded project that started in March 2021 and ends in March 2022. Funding for the project was obtained via Apoios Especiais do PV, Tipologia: Projetos que se destinem a implementar metodologias de aprendizagem ativa. For further information, cf. http://politecnicodeviseu.info/apoios-especiais/steppingup-to-global-challenges-2/ The SGC2 team is not responsible for the posters, videos, abstracts and papers compiled in this eBook.

Killer Crónicas

Bilingual Memories

By: Susana Chávez-Silverman

A woman living and communicating in multiple lands, Susana Chávez-Silverman conveys her cultural and linguistic displacement in humorous, bittersweet, and even tangible ways in this truly bilingual literary work. These meditative and lyrical pieces combine poignant personal confession, detailed daily observation, and a memorializing drive that shifts across time and among geocultural spaces. The author’s inventive and flamboyant use of Spanglish, a hybrid English-Spanish idiom, and her adaptation of the confessional "crónica" make this memoir compelling and powerful. Killer Crónicas confirms that there is no Latina voice quite like that of Susana Chávez-Silverman. Includes a chapter that was awarded first prize in El Andar magazine’s Chicano Literary Excellence Contest in the category of personal memoir.

The Little Old Lady Killer

The Little Old Lady Killer

The Sensationalized Crimes of Mexico’s First Female Serial Killer

By: Susana Vargas Cervantes

The surprising true story of Mexico’s hunt, arrest, and conviction of its first female serial killer For three years, amid widespread public outrage, police in Mexico City struggled to uncover the identity of the killer responsible for the ghastly deaths of forty elderly women, many of whom had been strangled in their homes with a stethoscope by someone posing as a government nurse. When Juana Barraza Samperio, a female professional wrestler known as la Dama del Silencio (the Lady of Silence), was arrested—and eventually sentenced to 759 years in prison—for her crimes as the Mataviejitas (the little old lady killer), her case disrupted traditional narratives about gender, criminality, and victimhood in the popular and criminological imagination. Marshaling ten years of research, and one of the only interviews that Juana Barraza Samperio has given while in prison, Susana Vargas Cervantes deconstructs this uniquely provocative story. She focuses, in particular, on the complex, gendered aspects of the case, asking: Who is a killer? Barraza—with her “manly” features and strength, her career as a masked wrestler in lucha libre, and her violent crimes—is presented, here, as a study in gender deviance, a disruption of what scholars call mexicanidad, or the masculine notion of what it means to be Mexican. Cervantes also challenges our conception of victimhood—specifically, who “counts” as a victim. The Little Old Lady Killer presents a fascinating analysis of what serial killing—often considered “killing for the pleasure of killing”—represents to us.

The Fear of Robachicos in Mexico

The Fear of Robachicos in Mexico

Media, Childhood and Child Kidnapping 1900-1968

By: Susana Sosenski

Civil society organizations report that fourteen children disappear every day in Mexico. This book studies the origins of this social phenomenon and its consequences, not only in the emotional sphere, but also in how children have been treated. Focusing on children's special positions within Mexican society rather than criminal acts or the implementation of the law, Sosenski links social and cultural history, the history of crime and fear, the application of justice and the media's role, childhood and the city to paint a multi-dimensional picture of child abduction and its causes. Exploring the social impact of child protection policies and the figure of the robachicos, or child kidnapper, Soneski draws from oral traditions, films and books, songs and plays; all of which embody a culture of fear and danger reported and accentuated by a mass media response. The Fear of Robachicos in Mexico focuses on the role of the media and entertainment in the legitimization of violence toward children and the objectification of their lives, stripping them of their right to freedom and curtailing their autonomy.

ARPEGIOS DE MAR Y FUEGO

By: SUSANA GÓMEZ LAGES

ARPEGIOS DE MAR Y FUEGO reúne once cuentos de contradicción, donde el amor y la pasión se confunden con la explotación, la entrega, el maltrato continuo. La diferencia de clases socio-económicas, la rebeldía, la aceptación incondicional del estatus de esclavitud y de víctimas. La emigración siempre presente cono rotura emocional del ser humano que se desprende involuntariamente de una serie de afectos y aprendizajes del entorno conocido para afrontar la aventura de crecer y sobrevivir. Dos inocentes abuelos maltratan a sus nietos ante la vista de todos, un grupo de amigos se reúnen cada domingo para celebrar un rito costumbrista donde la amistad acaba perdiéndose en pro de la evolución, el dinero y las traiciones, un cantautor es detenido y sentenciado a prisión por su compromiso político y la venganza se vuelve el pan de cada día. Hay más traiciones y más rencores, amenizados con música, playa y pasión
