La percepción espacial y el TEA
Que quepamos por el hueco de una puerta, podamos circular por un pasillo o subir unas escaleras es, en fin, lo normal. Pero no lo es para todo el mundo. Hay personas a las que un pasillo se les hace muy estrecho o que la iluminación de una estancia les genera un ambiente hostil. La percepción espacial y el TEA es un ensayo divulgativo que investiga cómo la arquitectura puede mejorar la vida de las personas con Trastornos del Espectro Autista.
Off - architecture
«[...] esta publicación contribuye a entender cuál es el alcance del trabajo de los arquitectos hoy en día y a definir los límites de una profesión que parece que, cada vez más y como su autor indica, se expande más allá del "arte de diseñar y construir edificios". A partir de un complejo conjunto de enfoques extraídos de diversas fuentes, Álvaro Romero visibiliza el otro arquitecto: aquel que busca diferentes modelos operativos, apunta a estrategias colaborativas, introduce nuevos conceptos, establece nuevas alianzas y experimenta con nuevos tipos de herramientas». Del prólogo de Gonzalo Pardo. La arquitectura lo es todo y, sin embargo se mantiene la idea de que los arquitecto...
The Routledge Research Companion to John Gower
The Routledge Research Companion to John Gower reviews the most current scholarship on the late medieval poet and opens doors purposefully to research areas of the future. It is divided into three parts. The first part, "Working theories: medieval and modern," is devoted to the main theoretical aspects that frame Gower’s work, ranging from his use of medieval law, rhetoric, theology, and religious attitudes, to approaches incorporating gender and queer studies. The second part, "Things and places: material cultures," examines the cultural locations of the author, not only from geographical and political perspectives, or in scientific and economic context, but also in the transmission of his poetry through the materiality of the text and its reception. "Polyvocality: text and language," the third part, focuses on Gower’s trilingualism, his approach to history, and narratological and intertextual aspects of his works. The Routledge Research Companion to John Gower is an essential resource for scholars and students of Gower and of Middle English literature, history, and culture generally.
John Gower in England and Iberia
John Gower's great poem, the Confessio Amantis, was the first work of English literature translated into any European language. Occasioned by the existence in Spain of fifteenth-century Portuguese and Spanish manuscripts of the Confessio, the nineteen essays brought together here represent new and original approaches to Gower's role in Anglo-Iberian literary relations. They include major studies of the palaeography of the Iberian manuscripts; of the ownership history of the Portuguese Confessio manuscript; of the glosses of Gowerian manuscripts; and of the manuscript of the Yale Confessio Amantis. Other essays situate the translations amidst Anglo-Spanish relations generally in the fourteent...
Carabanchel Bajo. De villa a barrio
«Entre ambas realidades ha pasado el arrollador laminado de la historia que, ajena a la personal vivencia de sus habitantes, ha desembocado en la forma de hoy. Entenderla no es fácil sin atender al paso del tiempo. Y eso es lo que la autora trata de decirnos [...]». Del prólogo de Ángel Martín Díaz. Los barrios no solo están hechos de arquitectura y detalles por los que normalmente pasamos de largo, sino también de las personas que los habitan. Carabanchel Bajo. De villa a barrio es la historia de su gente, esa que le da una identidad tan marcada al barrio. Una historia reflejada a través de los edificios que han visto crecer Carabanchel, mientras pasaba a integrarse dentro de la ciudad de Madrid.
Historians on John Gower
John Gower's poetry offers an important and immediate response to the turbulent events of his day. The essays here examine his life and his works from an historical angle, bringing out fresh new insights. The late fourteenth century was the age of the Black Death, the Peasants' Revolt, the Hundred Years War, the deposition of Richard II, the papal schism and the emergence of the heretical doctrines of John Wyclif and the Lollards. These social, political and religious crises and conflicts were addressed not only by preachers and by those involved in public affairs but also by poets, including Chaucer and Langland. Above all, though, it is in the verse of John Gower that we find the most dire...

John Gower in Manuscripts and Early Printed Books

Textual Traditions and Medieval Literary Culture
Essays illuminating how medieval cultures and identities have influenced later authors, texts, and communities. How did medieval literary cultures shape, and how were they shaped by, their received textual traditions? And how have cultures continued to respond to the inherited medieval tradition in later eras? This volume explores these important questions, considering how language and literature mediate the narration of history or culture - especially the culture and identity of Britain. In addressing the overarching concern of the conception of the past in the literatures of medieval Britain, and the later reception of medieval texts, the contributors' essays respond to the diverse areas o...
