Galdós, el periodismo y la escritura. Reflexiones a partir del cuento "El artículo de fondo"
2018
Galdós was experiencing in his formation and in his first stage of production the narrative space of the press. The short story “El artículo de fondo” was published in 1871 in Revista de España, in 1879, in three installments in El Océano and reappears in 1889 in a collection of brief narrative texts that accompany his Torquemada en la hoguera. This study tries to focus, on the one hand, the variants introduced by the author, especially in the last edition, in order to evaluate the process of maturation of galdosian writing. On the other hand, taking into account the essentially heterotextual consistency of this short story, it try to put it in relation to the pluritextual narrative texture…
Identidad transterritorial en la literatura saharaui: La luz de cuatro velas en el Sáhara de Ali Salem Iselmu
2022
The study focuses on the analysis of Ali Salem Iselmu's collection of short stories, La luz de cuatro velas en el Sáhara, as an expression, within Saharawi Literature, of a peculiar identity paradigm, which is based on the transterritorial experience of the author and its characters.

It is about the four candles that are lit to the beat of the stories that the grandfather/teacher Sidati, one night inside the tent in the camp, decides to start narrating to his granddaughter Marta, to clarify his constant doubts about his name and the two languages she speaks. The constitut…
Traducción de textos literarios e ideología en Legioni e Falangi/Legiones y Falanges. El caso de “La calle Mayor. Racconto di Edgar Neville”
2018
This study is based in the renewed interest in the symbolic universe of totalitarianism, as a forge of cultural spaces for the construction of group identity and ideologically marked linguistic-literary products, as well as possible conflictual cracks, respect to the cultural paradigms in which they are produced. Since, in any case, the link between power and word – even as a literary word and, therefore, a creator of possible worlds – is vigorous and it has the opportunity to activate a further potentiality in the translation process, we propose to analyse an emblematic example of translation of Edgar Neville’s short story, “La calle mayor” (Legioni e Falangi, I, 9, 1941, 27-30), published…

Displacement(s) and Identity in the Libyan Story "Al-Malika" by Nağwa Binšatwan
2017
In a context of political repression and social oppression like Libya used to be before the Arab Spring, the literary representation of displacement assumes a central role and sometimes becomes a metaphor of an existential condition. Starting from the analysis of some short stories taken from Al-malika by Nağwa Benshatwan – one of the most interesting voices of Libya’s Contemporary literary landscape – this paper will focus on the concept of displacement interpreted not only as a physical and/or figurative migration but also as a tool for representing personal and collective identity Dans le climat de répression politique et d’oppression sociale qui caractérise la Libye d’avant la “révoluti…

Santo Dominguito de Val: La ?tradición? como arma arrojadiza a disposición de los poderes establecidos
2019
This study focuses, from a short story of the blood libel of Saint Dominguito de Val, on answering the questions of when and why the ?tradition? was made about this saint, and the specific moments of his Revitalization until the end of the 17th century. Although the short story of the death of this infant has been occupied by the most diverse writers of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, we take as reference the master Espés and the chroniclers Blancas, Andrés de Uztarroz and Dormer.
