Al oeste del mito
América pronto se dio cuenta de su valor mítico. La historia transfiguró en leyenda y los hechos se diluyeron en el relato. La conquista del territorio, el avance de la civilización, los hombres y las mujeres de la frontera en expansión cuyos nombres y hazañas, por lo común violentas, pasaron a constituir una verdad contada. El wéstern, versión en movimiento de las dime novels, significó la primera experiencia del cinematógrafo con el espacio abierto y se convirtió en la maquinaria a través de la cual se transmitía el relato mítico de la fundación. Género americano, el wéstern se fue oscureciendo en el reflejo tanto de su tiempo presente como del histórico que recrea. La estilización dejó paso a la introspección, la emoción de la aventura, a la melancolía de la pérdida. El wéstern se convirtió en un modo, ético y estético, de estar y contar un país. Un paseo por las estaciones del wéstern y una antología de 50 títulos componen esta aproximación a un género que, en sí mismo, sintetiza lo cinematográfico: el gesto y el movimiento.

Between Saint James and Erasmus: Studies in Late-Medieval Religious Life – Devotion and Pilgrimage in the Netherlands
This volume is divided into four sections: late medieval devotion in the Netherlands; medieval Christian pilgrimage; the medieval cult of St. James the Great and Erasmiana. Variety and coherence sound the keynote in the title and the contents of the book. Religious concepts and expressions of religious faith such as pilgrimages and indulgences are representative of late-medieval Christianity. In this book they refer specifically to the medieval cult of St. James the Great, while for Erasmus they were an object of his critical consideration. The whole book can be read in the light of the debate about the tension between an appreciation for outward signs of faith, and the inward experience of religious belief, which Erasmus considered an absolute necessity.
