- ItemLas cosas pequeñas: figuraciones de infancia en Kramp (2017) y El hombre del cartel (2021) de María José Ferrada(2023) Alessandri Basaure, Vicente; Ramay, Allison; Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Facultad de LetrasEsta investigación tiene objeto la narración en voces infantiles en las novelas Kramp (2017) y El hombre del cartel (2021) de María José Ferrada, utilizando como pilares teóricos distintos aportes de los Nuevos Materialismos y de los Estudios de Infancia. Desde ahí, analizo las dos novelas en torno a tres conceptos que funcionan como imágenes recurrentes y como motivos estructurales: los escombros, el juego y el tiempo. A partir de ello, termino por afirmar que la infancia es figurada por Ferrada como una forma de intra-acción que permite otorgarle relevancia presente a la materialidad residual del pasado.

- ItemFicción sorora : romanticismo femenino y la primera ola feminista en Divine secrets of the Ya-Ya sisterhood y Mujeres que compran flores(2021) García Charad, Francisca Ignacia; Ramay, Allison; Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Facultad de LetrasEsta investigación explora la importancia de analizar obras pertenecientes a la ficción sorora contemporánea, concepto que se utilizará para describir la literatura femenina altamente comercial donde se destacan historias de relaciones interpersonales de sororidad entre personajes femeninos, usualmente desde una perspectiva multifocal y colectiva, como un medio especialmente propicio para representar la experiencia femenina. Propongo, por lo tanto, que el género de ‘romanticismo femenino’ -concepto que establece Anne K. Mellor en su libro Romanticism & Gender (1993) y que será descrito más adelante- ha sido adoptado y perpetuado por la que ahora se considera “literatura femenina” o chick lit con narraciones enfocadas en grupos de personajes femenino, un subgénero que se denomina en esta investigación como ficción sorora. Este género se ha visto beneficiado y limitado por su foco comercial, pero ha logrado sin embargo evolucionar para acomodar las experiencias de la mujer contemporánea, destacando historias de relaciones interpersonales de amistad y sororidad entre personajes femeninos complejos. Esta investigación se conducirá bajo la perspectiva de la literatura universal, por lo que se analizan novelas con diferentes contextos de producción: Maria, or the Wrongs of Woman (1798) novela inglesa escrita por Mary Wollstonecraft como ejemplo canónico de las características que definen al romanticismo femenino, luego Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood (1996), novela contemporánea estadounidense escrita por Rebecca Wells y Mujeres que compran flores (2006), novela contemporánea española escrita por Vanessa Montfort.
- ItemForeign Language Enjoyment, Linguistic Self-confidence, and the Oral Production of Past-tense Irregular Verbs in Online Interaction(2023) Núñez Carmona, Melissa Belén; Ramay, Allison; Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Facultad de LetrasThe present study investigated the acquisition of the irregular past tense in an online setting through a positive psychology lens. Due to the learning and contextual needs of the participant, the pedagogical efforts of this research project were put on her linguistic as well as sociocultural development. The constructs involved were foreign language enjoyment (FLE) and linguistic self-confidence (LSC), which have been studied in relation to other sociolinguistic variables inside the classroom. The current study aimed to a) analyze an EFL student’s foreign language enjoyment while speaking to other English-language users through a video chat online platform and b) analyze the role of foreign language enjoyment in relationship to the oral production of irregular past tense verbs in online conversations. To achieve these objectives, a mixed-methods design was used in the context of a case study. Data was obtained from pre- and post-intervention interviews with the student, in which her FLE and LSC levels were measured as well as her irregular past tense performance, and oral interactions with other English speakers from around the globe through the HelloTalk language-learning app. It was found that the factors of the participant’s FLE and LSC were positively influenced by the intervention and that the accurate production of irregular past-tense forms is related to a learner’s LSC levels. This piece of research sheds light on ways of boosting L2 learners’ FLE and, more specifically, their LSC by using social-media-like language-learning tools for oral practice and real-life interaction.
- ItemIndigenous Politics and Education in Early to Mid-20th Century Chile: The Role of Mapuche Women and Transnational Conversations(Oxford University Press, 2021) Crow, Joanna; Ramay, AllisonMapuche intellectuals and political activists in early- to mid-20th-century Chile both worked within and subverted dominant modernizing and “civilizing” educational discourses. Mapuche women played an important role in the movement to democratize schooling in early-20th-century Chile by publishing articles in little-known Mapuche-run newspapers and advocating for Mapuche education broadly as well as specifically for women. There was also an important transnational dimension of Mapuche political organizing around education rights during this period. These two underexplored but important aspects of indigenous activism in Chile open interesting questions about the intersections between race, gender, and nation in the sphere of education.
- ItemMapuche Poetry in the Age of Heritage(2018) Ramay, AllisonHeritage has the potential to foster introspection and reflection about the many communities co-existing within nation-states, and therefore, can lead to complex intercultural engagement. In Chile, recent efforts to catalogue intangible collective indigenous heritage ask Mapuche groups to self-represent univocally, giving way to a limited and static understanding of Mapuche culture and presence in Chile. A productive counterpoint can be found in Mapuche poetry, specifically, in the work of renowned poet Jaime Huenún. Though not officially considered within the realm of heritage, the literary representations I analyze emphasize the equivocal and entangled nature of indigenous and non-indigenous cultures in Chile. Focusing on the metatextual space of Huenún’s anthology prologues, I show how Huenún resignifies the notion of Mapuche community beyond the national framework of heritage, offering a resource for rethinking heritage’s role in creating productive spaces for interculturality.Heritage has the potential to foster introspection and reflection about the many communities co-existing within nation-states, and therefore, can lead to complex intercultural engagement.

- ItemNatural speech in the globalized era : reading and telling stories in the EFL classroom(2020) Márquez Moreno, Verónica; Ramay, Allison; Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Facultad de LetrasThis Action-Research seeks to explore students’ natural conversations by telling personal stories. To help students’ oral performance, in this research project students read short stories from around the globe and then analyzed them critically followed by a classroom discussion about social issues. This was done for two reasons: to raise students’ cultural awareness and to provide a platform for them to think and speak about their personal memories, stories, and experiences. This study emphasizes the need to take into account spoken grammar in the EFL classroom, and shows the positive effects of using literature to address social problems in the classroom conversation, and for students to connect these telling personal stories.
- ItemUsing literature to foster the intercultural dimension and vernacular English in the classroom(2021) Sánchez Santos, María Natalia; Ramay, Allison; Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Facultad de LetrasTeaching a language is also teaching culture. This aspect can be often overlooked or simplified to the point where stereotypes are reproduced or the nuance and diversity is lost. This applied linguistics study employed the literary text Betel Nut is Bad Magic for Airplanes (1972) by John Kasaipwalova and the essay African American Writers and the English Language (1962) by Chinua Achebe to explore and foster the intercultural citizenship aspect of English language learning and the standard and non-standard varieties of the language in order to provide an opportunity to interact with other cultures and simultaneously develop skills to approach the differences among these cultures. This is an action research study based on Mcniff & Whitehead’s (1988) generative transformational evolutionary process model. After the initial observation, an intervention was designed and conducted in two cycles within the context of a one-on-one class. There was an exploratory interview and subsequent conversations about the texts. This uncovered and addressed ideas surrounding the native speaker as an ideal as well as the power relationships established by standard and non-standard usages of the English language. The study concluded that intercultural communication and striving to provide students with different English varieties is important not only for the understanding of the language but vital in an evermore connected world in which international English is more common than ever. Additionally, the study found that it is necessary to include other varieties and texts that provide a wider view towards culture and power relationships in general. In this context, establishing the classroom as a safe space to have these conversations is of vital importance.
