Nec plus ultra : « et pas au-delà ». Cette locution nourrie des mythes antiques entourant le détroit de Gibraltar est une création de Charles Quint, le conquérant du Nouveau Monde. Sa devise Plus oultre marquait son désir de dépasser la puissance romaine. Mais Rome a-t-elle toujours envisagé l’Extrême Occident méditerranéen comme un nec plus ultra, comme les confins immuables et indépassables de son empire ? Les espaces des colonnes d’Hercule, polarisés par Cadix et Tanger, ont moins représenté des bornes infranchissables pour les Romains que les montants d’un seuil, à la fois une protection de la mer Intérieure et une ouverture sur l’Océan. Cet Extrême Occident, ces Portes du Soir du mythe héracléen, ont donc été un enjeu crucial dans l’élaboration de l’Empire romain, des guerres puniques jusqu’à la Tétrarchie.

Modernism, Ruben Darío, and the Poetics of Despair presents a detailed study of a neglected facet of Ruben Darío, and in general, of Hispanic Modernism: metaphysical and existential dimensions as preludes to Modernity. Alberto Acereda and J. Rigoberto Guevara approach the life and death issues in Darío works with special emphasis on his poetry. The authors demonstrate how the Nicaraguan poet takes the first steps towards poetic modernity. The tragic component of Darío works are examined in the light of Nineteenth Century philosophy, especially the work of Arthur Schopenhauer. Various thematic proposals are also formulated for the study of the works of Ruben Darío.
