De Montaigne a Lope: distintos resultados de una misma decisión
2009
This essay presents the initial hypothesis of the diversity of cases shown by Lope de Vega’s theatre, that multiply perspectives and different endings from the same basic types of conflicts and designs, and tries to verify them with contemporary thought. This diversity is related with a certain type of discourse that has begun to spread out in the very beginning of the Renaissance and was gradually displacing the pre-eminence of universal principles (neo-platonic, or neoaristotelic and scholastic) for an invitation to casuistic analysis, an ethical modality applied that chose the concrete analysis of the concrete situation in front of the universally required dogmas. A type of discourse tha…
The Advent of duanpian xiaoshuo: A Combination of Western Discourse and Chinese Legacy in the Early Definitions of the Modern Short Story
2020
During the late Qing, a thriving transcultural interaction across China and the West determined a burgeoning cultural environment in which new forms of appreciation and critique contributed to the development of a new sense of literary modernity and new ways of conceiving and classifying literature (wen) distant from the “canon”. From the mid of XX century, in Chinese newspapers and magazines literature and leisure reading became a regular section. Shenbao was also one of the first papers which recognized the attractive power of literature and of the so called duanpian xiaoshuo 短篇小說 (Chen 2009, p. 117). In those years, Shenbao introduced new contents and form of reception that were already …
Representation of Peronist unionism in Argentinian sociologist Roberto Carri’s works: From the “vandorismo” to the guerilla “Montoneros” (1967-1974)
2019
En este trabajo abordamos un aspecto de la trayectoria intelectual del sociólogo argentino Roberto Carri, referido a sus estudios sobre el sindicalismo argentino, específicamente el sindicalismo peronista después de 1955. Para hacerlo tomamos en cuenta tres textos claves que le dedicó al tema, en tres momentos particulares de su trayectoria intelectual y militante: el libro Sindicatos y Poder en la Argentina (1967), el artículo ?Sindicalismo de participación, sindicalismo de liberación? (1971), y el texto ?Vandorismo. La política del imperialismo para los trabajadores peronistas? (1974). En estos textos analizaremos cinco elementos: la lectura de la relación entre el peronismo y los sindica…
Ciencia del Comercio, Economía Política y Economía Civil en la Ilustración Española (1714-1808)
2019
The chronology of economic ideas in Spanish Enlightenment is well known. However, the most accepted periodization does not fit with the evolution of moral philosophy and political economy in the 18th century, nor does it reflect the alternation in economic ideologies. After considering a joint articulation of national and generational approaches to the European economic thought, it seems important to differentiate the contents of political economy and civil economy to study the Spanish case. Below is a new periodization in five stages of enlightened economic thought in Spain: the time of colbertism and projectism (1714-1740), this of the learning of the science of commerce in Ensenada’s per…
La evolución de las pautas de consumo de las familias valencianas. Una aproximación a los cambios de comportamiento en el siglo XVIII
2019
En las áreas más dinámicas de la Europa Occidental la llamada revolución del consumo hizo su aparición a finales del xvii. También en la España Mediterránea se produjeron cambios significativos en las pautas adquisitivas de las familias, derivados del excepcional desarrollo económico experimentado a lo largo del siglo xviii. Cambios que dudamos en calificar de revolucionarios –ya que responden a un proceso progresivo en el que intervienen múltiples variables–, y que en nuestra opinión consideramos que el término que mejor caracteriza este período es el de evolución del consumo. La base documental utilizada en este estudio comparativo la constituye un conjunto de escrituras de dote repartida…
“Dinner by the River” and “Driving to the Airport”: Andrew Taylor’s Polish Ash Poems and Jacques Derrida’s Cinder
2019
Andrew Taylor (b. 1940), one of the most eminent living Australian poets, has had a lasting relationship with Poland and Opole in particular. As a result of one of his several visits to Opole, he wrote two poems, “Dinner by the River,” which was later included in the volume edited by Peter Rose The Best Australian Poems 2008 (Melbourne: Black Inc., 2008), and “Driving to the Airport,” which appeared in The Unhaunting (London: Salt, 2009). Both poems were originally included in the volume Australia: Identity, Memory and Destiny (ed. Wolny and Nicieja, Opole 2008). The aim of this paper is, therefore, to explore the image of Poland, and the Odra River in particular, the Australian poet has cr…
From Theatre to Theatricality—How to Construct Reality
1995
At the end of the nineteenth century, the dominance of language, so typical of Western culture since the Renaissance, was increasingly challenged. As early as 1876, Nietzsche wrote on Richard Wagner in Thoughts Out of Season:He was the first to recognize an evil which is as widespread as civilization itself among men; language is everywhere diseased, and the burden of this terrible disease weighs heavily upon the whole of man's development. Inasmuch as language has retreated ever more and more from its true province— the expression of strong feelings, which it was once able to convey in all their simplicity—and has always had to strain after the practically impossible achievement of communi…
On how to legitimately constrain a semantic theory
2021
Abstract Semanticists often restrict their theories by imposing constraints on the parameters that can be employed for interpreting the expressions of a language. Such constraints are based on non-logical features of actual contexts of utterance, but they often have important effects on issues that do pertain to logic, like analyticity or entailment. For example, Kaplan’s restriction to so-called “proper contexts” was required in order to count “I am here now” as valid. In this paper I argue that constraints of this kind are often posited in an arbitrary and non-consistent way, and that they yield the intended results only at the price of imposing ad hoc principles whose justification could…
Why we need TI-Oriented Language Learning and Teaching
2021
The teaching of foreign languages to students in Translation and Interpreting (TI) programmes should be framed within the field of Language for Specific Purposes (LSP). This would make it possible to pinpoint specific curricular content and methodological traits that contribute to the enhancement of the communicative competence and initial development of TI competences. This paper analyses the students’ perspectives on L2 teaching in a TI programme and how it should be undertaken to best comply with the linguistic demands imposed by translation and interpreting. A thematic analysis of 117 open questionnaires returned by students from Austria, Slovenia and Spain identified five areas to whic…
