Retórica forense y ars dictaminis en Lo somni, de Bernat Metge
2014
Resumen: Partiendo de la existencia de un propósito de autodefensa en el origen de Lo somni, y tomando como base la evidente formación retórica y dictaminal de su autor, es posible señalar numerosos elementos que se encuadran dentro del género retórico, concretamente del forense o judicial, y también otros pertenecientes al ars dictaminis, ambos géneros cargados de aspectos formales y a priori difícilmente adaptables a un texto de ficción literaria. Estos rasgos retóricos y dictaminales están tan integrados en el estilo del autor que fluyen de forma completamente natural en el texto, en un bello ejemplo de fusión literaria, jurídica y dictaminal. Palabras clave: autodefensa, retórica, ars d…
How listening to music and engagement with other media provide a sense of belonging: An exploratory study of social surrogacy
2020
The social surrogacy hypothesis holds that people resort to temporary substitutes, so-called social surrogates, if direct social interaction is not possible. In this exploratory study, we investigate social motives for listening to music in comparison to watching TV and reading fiction. Thirty statements about possible social reasons for the engagement with media were compiled. After 374 participants had rated their agreement with those statements, they were reduced to seven categories: Company, Shared experiences, Understanding others, Reminiscence, Isolation, Group identity, and Culture. The results propose that music is used as temporary substitute for social interaction alongside TV pr…

Om å bære dødens tyngde – Fotografier og visuelle fortellestrategier i Gaute Heivolls roman Himmelarkivet
2012
Author's version of an article in the journal: Edda. Also available from the publisher at: http://www.idunn.no/ts/edda/2012/02/om_aa_baere_doedens_tyngde_-_fotografier_og_visuelle_fortelles Himmelarkivet (2008) by Gaute Heivoll is part of an international trend of fiction concerned with traumatic events from World War II reflecting on the question of how these events should be described and understood. One main narrative device in the work is the use of image-related elements, and the goal of this article is to interpret their significance and effect. On the one hand, the argument is that they work as documents confirming the authenticity of the narrative and, on the other, that these visua…

Tre volte Marilyn: grazie e destino di una diva ‘‘moderna’’
2019
Il saggio si occupa dell'ultimo film interpretato da Marilyn Monroe prima di morire, Gli Spostati The Misfits (Huston, 1961) is the last film interpreted by Marilyn Monroe. The film is a precious observation point to analyze the triple figure of Marilyn Monroe: the character, the actress, the woman. The Misfits is the clear attempt to deconstruct the image of a diva, through the crisis of her own character. This is the condensed artistic and creative parable of Marilyn Monroe and, simultaneously, the most obvious sign of the end of the great Hollywood film industry.

Poe: cor científic. Els antecedents de la ciència-ficció
2014
Al hablar sobre los orígenes de la ciencia ficción y la literatura de anticipación, inmediatamente pensamos en los nombres de Herbert G. Wells o Jules Verne, prolíficos autores de finales del XIX y fuente de inspiración de posteriores generaciones. Pocos incluyen a Edgar Allan Poe, autor de principios del mismo siglo y fuente de inspiración de los ya mencionados. Y es que si Verne y Wells fueron los padres de la ciencia ficción, sin duda Poe fue el abuelo.
