Catalogue of the exhibition Lorena Morales: THE HOME I CARRY WITH ME

Through the multidisciplinary approach of cultural studies, my thesis investigates the commodification of La Virgen de Guadalupe, both in and outside the Chicana/o community, and what she represents to people. There may be many reasons as to why she is commodified, including that she is profitable, popular, and for religious reasons, but also that when she is appropriated by the mainstream community it is because she is a stand-in for the Chicana/o community in that she may represent the exotic, the poor, the Spanish-speaking, the underdog, etc. I examine these inquiries by an analysis of the Latina performance collective Fulana and specifically their video of "Lupe and JuanDi From the Block", as well as looking at their advertisements created for La Virgen.

Resumen: Este proyecto tiene como finalidad mostrar cómo se aplicó la teórica del Task-Based Instruction (TBI) para desarrollar la competencia lexical, basadas en actividades guiadas dentro del aula de clases. Dado que la competencia lexical en el contexto colombiano no es fuerte, TBI permitió dirigir a los participantes a través de las actividades planeadas en un contexto real, cuyo objetivo principal fue el aprendizaje y uso del nuevo vocabulario en inglés; en el cual los participantes llevaban a cabo de manera autónoma los objetivos propuestos en cada sesión; maximizando la capacidad de adquisición de una segunda lengua y logro de los objetivos.

This book includes selected peer-reviewed chapters which cover novel aspects of cysticercosis and neurocysticercosis written by well known international researchers, representing the most relevant Working Group for Cysticercosis of Mexico, Peru, Ecuador, most of the Eastern and Southern Africa countries and Europe plus other contributions from Canada and United States of America. Unfortunately, our colleagues from Asia could not participate in this project for several reasons but we hereby acknowledge their contribution to the scientific level reached by the international scientific community. Apart from the classic issue that cannot be missing in any book about cysticercosis/ neurocysticercosis, we introduced a new hypotheses and novel aspects on historical background, clinical descriptions, investigations, and treatment modalities related to this zoonotic parasitic disease as a leading cause of epilepsy in developing countries. We are looking forward with confidence and pride in the vital role that this book will play for a new vision and mission.
