Les «Epistolae Familiares» de Petrarca en el «Curial»
2018
L’autor de Curial e Güelfa, novel·la de cavalleria humanística escrita a Itàlia pels anys 1445- 1448 en llengua catalana, era coneixedor i estudiós de les Epistolae Familiares de Francesco Petrarca, com ha posat en evidència la crítica literària. Es recullen ací les aportacions al respecte de diferents autors, que són ampliades amb altres connexions intertextuals i temàtiques entre ambdues obres. S’anota, de pas, l’interés que l’humanista llombard Guiniforte Barzizza posà a divulgar l’obra de Petrarca a la cort napolitana d’Alfons el Magnànim (gràcies a l’amistat que mantenia amb alguns cavallers i diplomàtics valencians) com un indicador a tenir en compte a l’hora de contextualitzar correc…
The teaching of frozen expressions through the graphic novel Persépolis
2019
The constant search for suitable teaching materials to achieve the linguistic skills provided by a language teaching course, finds in authentic documents an important instrument for teaching foreign languages. The scientific literature attesting to the effectiveness of the authentic material is wide and consolidated; indeed, a text conceived by a native for a native, and, therefore, not developed for the sole purpose of teaching a foreign language, is intrinsically carrying a cultural richness and a linguistic variety, which are rarely present in any didactic artifact. The authentic material therefore represents an opportunity to meet the fixed expressions that are part of the communicative…
The city on the Moldau as a liminal space: Prague in Anthony Trollope's "Nina Balatka"
2022
The article discusses Anthony Trollope's representation of the city of Prague in his 1867 novel Nina Balatka, which first appeared anonymously in the Blackwood's Magazine. The novel tells the story of the eponymous protagonist, a Christian woman, who falls in love with a Jewish man. Trollope's choice of Prague as the backdrop for the story of two lovers separated by the great gulf between Christians and Jews seems particularly fitting, because the spatial division of the city by the river Moldau which separates the Christian and the Jewish parts of town reinforces the sense that the two protagonists come from different worlds. Trollope's characters exist in the realistically represented cit…
La novela negra como «transgénero»: éticas transnacionales en la feminización del canon
2021
El presente trabajo supone una pequeña aportación en la búsqueda de modelos de análisis «interseccionales» (Hill Collins y Bilge 2016/2020) que permitan analizar desde el feminismo las denominadas «transnacionalidades mínimas» (Lionnet y Shih 2005). Modelos que, en definitiva, superen la todavía fuerte adscripción de muchos feminismos a los bloques geotextuales heredados del patriarcado. Desde sus orígenes, los feminismos han empleado la traducción para subvertir los géneros textuales (Godard 1987: 6; Simon 1996: 46) y, en definitiva, para luchar contra el ostracismo literario que comparten con otros colectivos de la lucha postcolonial. Unas y otros han visto su diálogo y mutua comprensión …

Los periplos marítimos del Libro del rey Canamor y del infante Turián, su hijo (1509) y las primeras empresas militares en la India portuguesa (Canan…
2015
El libro del rey Canamor y del infante Turián, su hijo (1509) sorprende por el hecho de que sus personajes y trama carecen de filiación con cualquier otro relato en prosa de la ficción europea, por tener dos protagonistas persas y por la presencia poderosísima de geografías marítimas en el relato. Este artículo propone relacionar la publicación de la primera edición de la obra, en 1509, con la difusión de noticias sobre la colonización portuguesa en la India y, en concreto, con el asedio de Cananor (1507), que fue uno de los primeros y principales episodios bélicos en la bahía de Goa. Los orígenes persas de Canamor y Turián, sus periplos por océanos desconocidos, la presencia de Leonela (la…

2022
Pubblicato in prima mondiale in italiano nel 2020, Quando il cielo vuole spuntano le stelle del nigeriano E.C. Osondu racconta, attraverso lo sguardo e la voce di un giovane africano di un paese non meglio identificato, uno dei fenomeni più significativi della nostra storia contemporanea, l’odissea di chi sfida il Mediterraneo per raggiungere l’Europa. Il protagonista di questo classico romanzo di formazione dai toni fiabeschi sogna di arrivare a Roma, città sacra nota per la sua bellezza. Per raggiungerla, il giovane attraverserà il deserto e il mare, incontrando un’umanità in movimento, con cui condividerà storie, esperienze, aspirazioni. Il viaggio è rito di passaggio intimo ma anche con…
“Something Hungry and Wild is Still Calling”: Post-Apartheid Gothic
2012
International audience; The postcolonial Gothic is now a mode widely covered by literary criticism, but South Africa has often been left out of investigations. This paper argues that only now that apartheid has ended can writers and critics explore how the Gothic manifests itself in South African literature. Showing possible connections between the postcolonial Gothic and recent South African fiction, it seeks to define a new category that can help define the contours of the literary field in South Africa: post-apartheid Gothic.
Evolución histórica de la autonomía de la voluntad en el Derecho matrimonial
2021
The autonomy of the will or power of self-regulation of relationships derived from marriage is a subject that is on the rise and that we can qualify as novel. More and more couples are opting to proceed making use of this power to self-regulate both personal and property effects derived from their union or its future breakdown. In the Spanish legal system there is no precise and complete regulation of the subject, without all these figures being equally legislated, although all are admitted without any doubt by jurisprudence. In recent years there has been an evolution of Family law, traditionally very reluctant to give space to self-regulation. Our Constitution marks a turning point by cha…
Novel therapeutic strategies for patients with NSCLC that do not respond to treatment with EGFR inhibitors
2014
Abstract: Introduction: Treatment with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) yields tumour responses in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients harbouring activating EGFR mutations. However, even in long-lasting responses, resistance to EGFR TKIs invariably occurs. Areas covered: This review examines resistance mechanisms to EGFR TKI treatment, which mainly arise from secondary EGFR mutations. Other resistance-inducing processes include mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (MET) amplification, epithelial-mesenchymal transformation, phenotypic change from NSCLC to small-cell lung carcinoma, and modifications in parallel signalling pathways. Current…
