«Pues reprimamos / esta fiera condición»: márgenes para la rebeldía en la tragedia del Siglo de Oro
2018
La tragedia surge en el entorno griego pero evoluciona hacia parametros tematicos diferentes acordes con el universo simbolico de la epoca que la acoge, aunque su arquitectura formal permanezca pese a variar los acentos de sus lecturas. Asi, en el Siglo de Oro, la fatalidad sera sustituida por la responsabilidad, que ya no recae en los dioses sino en el personaje. Mas dotando al heroe de libre albedrio, convirtiendolo en artifice de su destino y haciendo de la divinidad un testigo de las faltas y no un agente de las mismas, la tragedia barroca abrio un margen para la rebeldia que encontro distintos resquicios por los que colarse. Analizaremos esos margenes por los que transitan las conducta…
Brian Friel in Spain: An Off-Centre Love Story
2021
Spanish theatres are not prolific in the staging of Irish playwrights. However, the Northern Irish writer Brian Friel (1929-2015) has been a curious exception, his plays having been performed in different cities in Spain since William Layton produced Amantes: vencedores y vencidos (Lovers: Winners and Losers) in 1972. The origin of Friel's popularity in this country may be attributed to what many theatre directors and audiences considered to be a parallel political situation between post-colonial Ireland and the historical peripheral communities with a language other than Spanish: Catalonia, the Basque Country and Galicia; the fact is that the number of Catalan directors who have staged wor…
Polish highlander jokes and their targets
2017
The aim of the paper is to identify the characteristic features of jokes about Polish highlanders and analyse them to isolate the comic script of a highlander. This group of jokes is treated as a good illustration of Christie Davies’s ethnic jokes theory concerning canny versus stupid and centre versus periphery oppositions, as well as mind over matter. A particular type of reasoning and the use of regional dialect are distinctive features of the joke targets that make it possible to perceive these jokes as a culturally specific phenomenon. The head shepherd (called baca) is the key character of the cycle. He is a very down-to-earth person, who is proud of his practical wisdom and has a ver…
Decolonising European minds through Heritage
2019
By analysing three museums exhibition, this article investigates how the history of European colonialism is approached in an attempt to identify potential for decolonising European minds. The case studies consist of a temporary exhibition (2016–2017) concerning German colonialism at the Deutsches Historisches Museum in Berlin; the permanent exhibition of the House of European History in Brussels and the permanent exhibition of the Sagres Promontory (Portugal), a heritage site related to the conquest of the Americas. The analysis will focus on three aspects: 1) acknowledgement of connections between colonial histories and their contemporary influences in and for Europe; 2) the role of histor…
Teachers’ perceptions on the changing role of language in the curriculum
2017
AbstractThis article is concerned with the role of language(s) in education from the viewpoint of secondary school subject teachers in Finland at the time of transition to a new curriculum. The curriculum highlights the role of language throughout education and makes reference to changes in society that foreground multilingualism. Seven mainstream and CLIL content teachers of different subjects were interviewed and employing qualitative content analysis, the data were scrutinised under four language-related themes: multilingualism, multiliteracy, subject-specific language, and the role of language in knowledge construction. The results indicate teachers as reasonably well aware of subject-s…
Narrative Tools for Games : Focalization, Granularity, and the Mode of Narration in Games
2015
This article looks at three narratological concepts—focalization, granularity, and the mode of narration—and explores how these concepts apply to games. It is shown how these concepts can be used as tools for creating meaning-effects, which are understood here as cognitive responses from the player. Focalization is shown to have a hybrid form in games. This article also explores the different types of narrators and granularities in games, and how these three concepts can be used to create meaning-effects. This is done by discussing examples from several games, for example, Assassin’s Creed III, Skyrim, Fallout: New Vegas, and Civilization.
Rodolfo Walsh en 'ese hombre': un escritor a diario, su memoria en los papeles
2013
Resumen: Este articulo integra dos tipos de lectura critica de Ese hombre y otros papeles personales (Buenos Aires, 1996 y 2007), de Rodolfo Walsh, con edicion a cargo de Daniel Link. Considerando, primero, el diario del escritor que incluye, el libro describe, dentro del pathos caracteristico del genero, las imposibilidades y los fracasos de la escritura, que especifican historicamente los problemas de la relacion entre literatura y politica, propios del campo argentino de los anos ’60-’70. Las tensiones de la escritura y la vida, agudizadas cuando apremia la militancia, y expresadas en las disyuntivas de genero –basicamente, novela vs. testimonio- constituyen, en esa linea, un eje crucia…
La mujer católica y la regeneración de España: género, nación y modernidad en Fernán Caballero
2012
El autor propone una lectura de la obra de Cecilia Bohl de Faber (Fernan Caballero) en relacion con su contexto politico y literario. Su obra debe vincularse con el mito romantico de Espana, que excluia al pais de la «modernidad» europea y que cultivaba la idea de la supuesta inmoralidad de las espanolas. En respuesta a este mito, Fernan Caballero ofrecio la imagen de un pueblo andaluz franco, sencillo y amante del orden, y la de una mujer hispana virtuosa y profundamente religiosa. Su propuesta coincidia con la del liberalismo moderado, que acogio con aplauso sus obras en los anos posteriores a las revoluciones de 1848. Con el tiempo, la creciente evidencia de sus tendencias antiliberales …
Polish and Finnish teenagers’ motivation to learn English:the role of context
2016
Abstract Language learning motivation has been investigated in a number of contexts (Dornyei and Ushioda 2009). However, there has been only one attempt (Taguchi et al. 2009) at a systematic comparison of models of motivation to learn English by students from different countries. The aim of this study is to investigate the role of context by comparing motivational characteristics and SEM (Structural Equation Modelling) models of language learning motivation of 15-16 year-old students from Finland and Poland. The data from both countries was collected using the same motivational questionnaire with a total of 351 students completing it. A number of differences were identified between the two …
Weaving the threads of international criminal justice: The double dialogicity of law and politics in the ICC al-Mahdi case
2021
International audience; In this paper, we examine the international criminal trial of Ahmad al-Faqi al-Mahdi, a Malian Islamist who appeared before the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, charged with the destruction of Islamic shrines during the 2012 jihadist occupation of Timbuktu. Our objective is to analyze the so-called 'al-Mahdi case' as a dialogical network (the destructions occurred in the context of an asynchronous translocal press-mediated exchange between jihadists and the international community) and as an event unfolding at a dialogical site (when the commander responsible for the destructions was referred to the ICC four years later). These two dialogical orders e…
