A Companion to Celestina

The resulting chapters offer the non-specialist an overview of Celestina studies. Those who already know the field will find state of the art studies filled with new insights that elaborate on or depart from the well-established currents of criticism. Celestina's creation and sources, the parody of religious and erudite traditions, the treatment of magic, prostitution, the celestinesca and picaresque genre, the translatio...
Cómo percibir
«¿Cuál es el primer olor que recuerdas haber sentido? Intenta volver a tu infancia o adolescencia a un momento donde el encuentro concreto con una realidad vaya asociado a un olor: el contacto con el mar unido a la peste emanada del pescado podrido, un paseo por el campo ligado al penetrante olor de la tierra mojada...» Desde que leímos la famosa escena de la magdalena, que lleva al protagonista de En busca del tiempo perdido a rememorar su vida, llamamos «efecto Proust» a la capacidad evocativa que tienen los sabores y olores en literatura. En Cómo percibir. Guía sensorial de escritura creativa el lector encontrará inspiradores ejercicios como este, que conectan teoría, práctica...

Gender, Class, and Nation
Little attention has been paid to Merce Rodoreda (1908-1983) as a modernist writer. This study addresses the relationship of her production with Catalan, Spanish, and European modernism. Foregrounded is Rodoreda's negotiation of the overlapping subjects of gender, class, modes of representation, and national identities. In the first three chapters her pre-Civil War novels Soc una dona honrada?, Un dia de la vida d'un home, and Del que hom no pot fugir are read against key Catalan texts, particularly Eugeni d'Ors', to emphasize debates surrounding modernist aesthetics and models of Catalan national identity. The modernist preoccupation with high versus low literature is developed in Aloma, while El carrer de les Camelies reconfigures the flaneur vis-a-vis the female writer's positioning in the modernist enterprise. The modernist debt to realism and the revindication of early Catalan modernism in the 1970s are examined in Mirall trencat. Christine Arkinstall is a Senior Lecturer in Spanish at The University of Auckland.
