Modernism represents an artistic movement that mirrors the changing society of the late 19th century. This changing society produced the first cultural and artistic movement in Spanish America that asked what was this region's place in the Western World as well as what the poet's new function was. Among other issues that revea) the modernity of the movement, such as urbanization, industrialization, or the role of women, there is one of capital importance: the view of masculinity. This essay focuses on three texts that review the image of masculinity and art thought the figure of the faun. El modernismo representa un movimiento artístico que refleja la sociedad cambiante de finales del siglo XIX. Esta sociedad cambiante genera el primer movimiento cultural y artístico continental de importancia que intenta responder a la pregunta ¿cuál es el lugar de Hispanoamérica en el mundo occidental y cuál es la nueva función del poeta? Entre otros aspectos que señalan la modernidad del movimiento (como el urbanismo, la industrialización, el papel de la mujer), hay uno de particular importancia: la revisión de la masculinidad. Este ensayo se centra en tres textos que revisan la visión de la masculinidad y el arte a través de la imagen del fauno.

We studied nest site and habitat characteristics associated with 75 Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus) nests in Connecticut, northern New Jersey, and southeastern New York. Nest sites were categorized as either urban (30) or rural (45) and were compared to data from available habitat (24 random sites for microhabitat; 70 random sites for macro-habitat). Urban nest trees were significantly larger in diameter and taller than rural nest trees, and accordingly, nests were higher in urban nest trees as well. Urban nest sites were significantly different than random sites for all eight habitat variables, but rural nests were significantly different for only five variables. Urban nests were significantly different than rural nests for five of eight habitat variables. Only urban owl nests had significantly lower site basal area, higher conifer composition, and lower shrub cover. Both urban and rural owl nests showed lower canopy cover and closer proximity to forest edge, paved roads, human habitation, and water than random sites. Although both urban and rural Great Horned Owls demonstrated habitat selection (use different from availability), urban owls showed a stronger degree of selection, probably because of the greater complexity of habitats available in the urban landscape.

This article examines the controversy caused by the Faiz Ahmed Faiz’s poem “Hum Dekhenge” during the protests triggered by the approval of the Citizenship Amendment Act and the National Registry of Citizens at the end of 2019 in India. In addition to a Spanish translation of the actual text, it also offers a background of the debate, a biographical sketch of the poem’s author, and diverse interpretations. The production of meaning is a complex articulation between text, readers, and the sociopolitical context. “Hum Dekhenge” is a poem of various linguistic, literary, and political registers. Without question its reading is open to multiple possibilities. © 2021. Estudios de Asia y África.
