Atitlán

El lago Atitlán está situado en el centro de América, en Guatemala. Su belleza es extraordinaria y tiene un gran interés social. En sus márgenes conviven tres culturas: la indígena, la española y la mestiza. Presididos por tres majestuosos volcanes (el Atitlán, el Tolimán y el San Pedro), trece pueblos bordean el lago. Los habitantes del lago son en su mayoría indígenas, aunque crece el porcentaje de ladinos (mestizos). Un buen número de extranjeros – misioneros o investigadores – comparte en los pueblitos la forma de vida de los nativos. A partir de los años setenta, numerosas colonias de hippies se asientan en Atitlán. Jóvenes de todo el mundo, atraídos por el paisaje, el clima semitropical y la sencillez de la vida de los indios, acampan cerca del lago. Además, muchos comerciantes guatemaltecos y extranjeros se han instalado en el pueblo de Panajachel para establecer diversos negocios hoteleros, deportivos y artesanales. A cada día el lago Atitlán atrae a sus costas a más turistas y científicos. Unos llegan buscando sossiego ante el espejismo del lago; otros van a mezclarse con los orgullosos y apacibles indígenas en iglesias y mercados; muchos atraviesan el lago para recorrer los diferentes pueblos y para recrearse en la variada indumentaria de sus habitantes; otros estudian las diferentes lenguas y dialectos que se hablan en la zona y muchos investigan con pasión la rica fauna del lago y de las tierras volcánicas. Realmente, es impresionante la convivencia de tantas etnías y culturas. En el corazón de América hay un lago y unos volcanes que son símbolo y reflejo de lo que es Hispanoamérica: un mosaico de culturas y un ejemplo de convivencia.

Our (Im)perfect bOdIes

Since I write a lot about positive body image, you’d think that I am well over the idea that weight

should be something that I allow to define my life. Yet, the vestiges of my past life as a woman

obsessed with weight still linger. A good example is vacation pictures. If I show you pictures of all

the places I have been in my Iife, I can give you minute details about the place itself, the food, the

5 sights and the weather. I can also tell you something else simply by looking at those pictures: the

exact number on the scale I was at that particular time in my life.

Sometimes my past catches up with me. I like to think of myself as a recovering weight-a-holic.

The fear of being overweight is a constant one of despair at not being personally successful in

controlling your own body. What good is being in control of finances, major companies and

10 businesses if you’re not in control of your body?! Silly idea, right? And yet that is exactly the

unconscious thought many intelligent women have.

Feeling satisfied with your appearance makes a tremendous amount of difference in how you

present yourself to the world. Some women live their entire lives on their perception of their

physical selves. But I’ve been there, done that. The hell with that idea! Personally, I became tired

15 of living my Iife this way.

My friend is an art historian who specializes in the Renaissance period. Talking with him recently gave

me a perspective on body image. As we walked through the permanent exhibit of Renaissance

Art in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, he pointed out the paintings done of women.

The women came in all sizes, all shapes. Some were curvier than others, but all were beautiful.

20 Some had what we refer to as love handles; some had soft, fuller stomachs that had never suffered

through crunches in a gym. Though I had seen them many times, it was actually refreshing to view

them in a new light.

We are led to believe our self-worth must be a reflection of our looks. So, in essence, if we don’t

believe we look good, we assume we have no worth! Yet, self-worth should have nothing to do

25 with looks and everything to do with an innate feeling that you really are worth it. You are worth

going after your dreams, you are worth being in a good relationship, you are worth living a life that

fulfills and nourishes you, and you are certainly worthy of being a successful woman.

There is a quote attributed to Michelangelo that I’ve always admired. When a friend complimented

him on the glorious Sistine Chapel, the great artist, referring to his art in the feminine form, was

said to have replied: “She is worthy of admiration simply because she exists; perfection and

imperfection together”.

Fake news could ruin social media, but there’s still hope

by: Guðrun í Jákupsstovu

Camille Francois, director of research and analysis at Graphika, told the audience of her talk at TNW Conference:

“Disinformation campaigns, or fake news is a concept we’ve known about for years, but few people realize how varied the concept can be and how many forms it comes in. When the first instances of fake news started to surface, they were connected with bots. These flooded conversations with alternative stories in order to create noise and, in turn, silence what was actually being said”.

According to Francois, today’s disinformation campaigns are far more varied than just bots – and much harder to detect. For example, targeted harassment campaigns are carried out against journalists and human-rights activists who are critical of governments or big organizations.

“We see this kind of campaigns happening at large scale in countries like the Philippines, Turkey, Ecuador, and Venezuela. The point of these campaigns is to flood the narrative these people try to create with so much noise that their original message gets silenced, their reputation gets damaged, and their credibility undermined. I call this patriotic trolling.”

There are also examples of disinformation campaigns mobilizing people. This was evident during the US elections in 2016 when many fake events suddenly started popping up on Facebook. One Russian Facebook page “organized” an anti-Islam event, while another “organized” a pro-Islam demonstration. The two fake events gathered activists to the same street in Texas, leading to a stand-off.

Francois explains how amazed she is that, in spite of social media being the main medium for these different disinformation campaigns, actual people also still use it to protest properly.

If we look at countries, like Turkey – where there’s a huge amount of censorship and smear campaigns directed at human right defenders and journalists – citizens around the world and in those places still use social media to denounce corruption, to organize human rights movements and this proves that we still haven’t lost the battle of who owns social media.

This is an ongoing battle, and it lets us recognize the actors who are trying to remove the option for people to use social media for good. But everyday you still have people all over the world turning to social media to support their democratic activities. This gives me hope and a desire to protect people’s ability to use social media for good, for denouncing corruption and protecting human rights. Adapted from:<https://thenextweb.com/socialmedia/2018/05/25/> . Access 09 Oct. 2018.

Glossary bot: (short for "robot"): um programa automático que roda na Internet; to flood: inundar; trolling: fazer postagem deliberadamente ofensiva para provocar alguém; popping up: surgir, aparecer; stand-off: impasse: smear campaigns: campanhas de difamação.

In the text, Turkey is used as an example of a country where

a) battles of who owns social media are constantly lost.
b) social media is used to combat corruption and defend human rights.
c) smear campaigns are organized by social media movements.
d) citizens cannot use social media to expose their views.

Masters of War

Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks.

You that never done nothin’
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it"s your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
And you turn and run farther
When the fast bullets fly.

Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
A world war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain.

BOB DYLAN. The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan. Nova York: Columbia Records, 1963 (fragmento)

The complex linguistic universe of

Game of Thrones

1.Game of Thrones has garnered 38 Emmy

2.awards for its portrayal of a world of sex,

3.violence and politics so real that some viewers

4.could imagine moving there. Part of that detail

5.has been the creation of the richest linguistic

6.universe since J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth.

7.In the field of language-creation for fictional

8.worlds, there is Tolkien, and there is everybody

9.else. But David Peterson, the language-smith

10.of Game of Thrones , comes a close second for

11.the amount of thought put into its two

12.languages, Dothraki and Valyrian. The interest

13.in these tongues is such that a textbook for

14.learning Dothraki has been published, while

15.Duolingo, a popular online language-learning

16.platform, now offers a course in High Valyrian.

17.Inspired by fictional languages such as those

18.in the Star Wars films and with a master’s

19.degree in linguistics, Peterson made Dothraki

20.and Valyrian as rich and realistic as possible.

21.Creating words is the easy part; anyone can

22.string together nonsense syllables. But

23.Peterson, like Tolkien, took the trouble to give

24his words etymologies and cousins, so that

25.the word for “feud” is related to the words

26.“blood” and “fight”. To make the languages

27.pronounceable but clearly foreign, he put

28.non-English sounds in high-frequency words

29.(like khaleesi , or queen), put the stress in

30.typically non-English places, and had words

31.begin with combinations of sounds that are

32.impossible in English, like hr .

33.Armed with a knowledge of common linguistic

34.sound changes, he gives his languages the

35kinds of irregularities and disorder that arise in

36.the real world: High Valyrian’s obar

37(“curve”) becomes Astapori Valyrian’s uvor .

38.Words’ meanings—as in real life—drift, too,

39.giving the system more realistic messiness.

40.Languages also play a prominent role in the

41.storyline. Dothraki is the guttural language of

42.a horse-borne warrior nation, but high-born

43.Daenerys Targaryen does not look down on it;

44.methodically learning it is key to her rise.

45.Tyrion Lannister is left to administer the city

46.of Mereen despite his ropy command of

47.Valyrian, leading to some comic moments.

48.And a prophecy of a future hero acquires new

49.meaning when an interpreter explains that the

50.word in question is ambiguous in Valyrian—it

51.could be “prince” or “princess”.

52.It might seem odd that a highly sexist society

53.like the one of Game of Thrones would have

54.languages where sex roles were not clearly

55.marked, but languages are not always perfect

56.vehicles for a culture. Random change can

57.leave them with too many words for one

58.concept, and not enough for another. In this

59.way, the flawed nature of language reflects

60.the foibles of flawed humans and the

61.imperfect worlds they strive to create.
