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.
El día más difícil del rey. Discursos de legitimación monárquica desde la ficción televisiva
2015
This essay examines the representation of the political process which led to the establishment and subsequent consolidation of the constitutional monarchy in recent Spanish TV fiction. It also aims at finding out what these stories reveal about the context of crisis which has engendered them. The paper focuses on the paradigmatic case of 23-F, el día más difícil del Rey - a highly popular TV drama released by the state-owned channel TVE in February 2009 - in order to analyze the discourse of monarchic legitimacy it conveys.
