A Companion to the Twentieth-century Spanish Novel
The Spanish novel in a turbulent century.
Cervantes on «Don Quixote»
Commentary on Don Quixote is as universal as affirmations of the novel?s importance, yet until now no study has examined what Cervantes said about it. In the prologue to the first half of the work (1605) the self-conscious author, in a tongue-in-cheek dialogue with the reader and an unconventional friend, makes a good number of comments on his own book. In the opening chapters of Part 2 (1615), the same sort of witty evaluation continues with remarks by Sancho Panza, Sansón Carrasco and Don Quixote in a lively and extended conversation focused on what has been said about Part 1 since its publication and how the characters feel about those readings. The present study carefully examines and compares these and other self-reflective passages to clarify the work?s successes and failures as interpreted by a privileged reader - the author himself.
Temporalities and Subjectivities in Migration Literature in Europe
Temporalities and Subjectivities in Migration Literature in Europe examines migrant stories through the lens of temporality as seen in the role of such issues as integration, waiting, detention, trauma, crisis, and imagined futures. This book argues that a focus on different time scales and perceptions of time will help us understand how the intimate and affective subjectivities of more complex narratives of migration, as articulated in literature, cross into the public sphere and challenge political ‘bubbles.’ This collection showcases new approaches to and innovative readings of different forms of literary and cultural migration narratives. In addition to developing theoretical tools for the study, the authors present innovative case studies addressing topics such as the European refugee crisis, migration narratives and border crossings in Britain, Spain, and Morocco, as well as experiences of migration in Finland and Norway.
Masculine Virtue in Early Modern Spain
Masculine Virtue in Early Modern Spain extricates the history of masculinity in early modern Spain from the narrative of Spain’s fall from imperial power after 1640. This book culls genres as diverse as emblem books, poetry, drama, courtesy treatises and prose fiction, to restore the inception of courtiership at the Spanish Hapsburg court to the history of masculinity. Refuting the current conception that Spain’s political decline precipitated a ’crisis of masculinity’, Masculine Virtue maps changes in figurations of normative masculine conduct from 1500 to 1700. As Spain assumed the role of Europe’s first modern centralized empire, codes of masculine conduct changed to meet the de...
Forgetting Machines: Knowledge Management Evolution in Early Modern Europe
We are so accustomed to use digital memories as data storage devices, that we are oblivious to the improbability of such a practice. Habit hides what we habitually use. To understand the worldwide success of archives and card indexing systems that allow to remember more because they allow to forget more than before, the evolution of scholarly practices and the transformation of cognitive habits in the early modern age must be investigated. This volume contains contributions by nearly every distinguished scholar in the field of early modern knowledge management and filing systems, and offers a remarkable synthesis of the present state of scholarship. A final section explores some current issues in record-keeping and note-taking systems, and provides valuable cues for future research.
Manuel Bandeira, Alfonso Reyes y Jorge Luis Borges: tres acercamientos al cine
[ES] Si bien no podía considerarse un cinéfilo, Manuel Bandeira se vio obligado a escribir sobre la gran pantalla para ganarse la vida. Sus contribuciones pueden considerarse hoy, a pesar de su carácter práctico, un original acercamiento al séptimo arte. Su producción periodística ofrece un completo repertorio que comprende críticas de filmes, meditaciones sobre las formas y técnicas propias del cine, y poetizaciones sobre sus estrellas. Su visión del cine comparte con Alfonso Reyes y Jorge Luis Borges algunos aspectos interesantes. Esta aportación se atendrá a tres líneas principales centradas en la mitología naciente, con especial atención a la figura de Greta Garbo: 1) el t...

O mundo movente de riobaldo em Grande Sertão: veredas
[POR] Este artigo expõe os conflitos que movem a realidade afetiva de Riobaldo durante sua «travessia» lírica, épica e dramática na obra Grande Sertão: veredas. Os elementos idílicos como aves, rios, matas, céu e montanhas contrastam com o mundo agreste do sertão. A épica propende para as ações cavalheirescas durante a travessia. O drama reside no amor contido e transgressor por Diadorim que era sua neblina e sua luz, motor da tragédia que relembra no «range rede» de sua memória. Tudo é revelado, em uma elaboração linguística objetiva, pela voz sincopada de Riobaldo. Palavras-chave: heroísmo; herói problemático; personagem dual; mundo movente; «travessia». [SPA] E...
Un relato acrónimo de Guimarães Rosa («Páramo»: más allá del lugar común)
[ES] João Guimarães Rosa, considerado uno de los autores más audaces y renovadores de la literatura brasileña del siglo XX, declaraba abiertamente su rechazo a los clichés y a los lugares comunes del idioma, así como su vocación por el neologismo lingüístico. Una lectura menos focalizada en el regionalismo o en el autobiografismo de su relato póstumo «Páramo» revela, sin embargo, la incorporación de muchos «lugares comunes» de la tradición europea (clásica, medieval, barroca...). Este trabajo estudia su función en la construcción de un relato propio: cómo la misma técnica de la acronimia se traslada a la estructura semántico-narrativa del relato, para configurar un esp...
