The translation of foreign playwrights as a step towards modernity in 18th century Spanish drama
2013
This article is the English version of “La traducción de piezas extranjeras como vía hacia la modernidad en el teatro español del siglo XVIII” by Francisco Lafarga. It was not published on the print version of MonTI for reasons of space. The online version of MonTI does not suffer from these limitations, and this is our way of promoting plurilingualism. After analysing the attempts at renewing Spanish drama in the 18th century, together with the numerous allusions to foreign drama in this period, attention is paid to the assimilation, by means of translation, of a number of French models (tragedies, comedies of manners, pieces of opéra-comique, etc.), which reached an uneven success, determ…
Carnaval y música: una breve semblanza de la Tuna Compostelana de 1888
2021
At the end of the 19th century, Spanish carnivals have been marked by the participation of the different tunas or also known as, estudiantinas. These groups achieved significant relevance in Galicia, especially in the city of Compostela, which, year after year, encouraged and supported the formation of groups of this nature to liven up the carnivals in the different Spanish cities. Although, different from its predecessors, the Santiago Tuna of 1888 ventured and made its mark in history, thanks to its intrepidity in having been the first Galician group that crossed the borders and enlivened the carnivals in the cities of the neighboring country, Portugal. This research, approached from a hi…
El grabado de valència de la primera parte de la crónica de beuter. Su lectura en el contexto de las imágenes urbanas peninsulares impresas en torno …
2019
The engraving of València from the Primera parte de la crónica by Pere Antoni Beuter, originally published in 1546, is the first overview of the city as a whole. It includes a large number of constructions and features of València, configuring, in addition, the most characteristic point of view to represent the city: the northern. Its modernity has to be compared with other valencian and contemporary peninsular urban engravings. Its comparison with other images will help to understand better the meaning of such an important image for the city of València. El grabado de Valencia de la Primera parte de la crónica de Pere Antoni Beuter, publicado originariamente en 1546, constituye la primera …
Le trame oscure nella poesia di Ausiàs March: il caso del canto 28
2018
Anàlisi de la tendència d'Ausiàs March a postposar la clau d'intel·lecció del tema argumental als seus poemes, en una dispositio retòrica que cerca deliberadament l'obscuritat. Aquesta anàlisi és complementada per l'exposició del tema argumental del famós però obscur poema 28, "Lo jorn ha por de perdre sa claror". Aquest tema argumental revela un jo poètic que, malgrat els seus ideals d'amor pura, planeja com seduir sexualment una dama. An analysis of Ausiàs March's propension to postpone clues for understanding plot subjects in his poems, in a rhetorical dispositio which deliberately chooses obscurity. This analysis is complemented by the plot subject's exposition of the famous but obscure…
Los canecillos de la Capilla del Cementerio de San Juan del Hospital de Valencia
2020
In the medieval cemetery of the Historic Site of San Juan del Hospital of Valencia is housed a small funeral chapel founded in the late thirteenth century by the knight Arnau de Romaní. Along its cornice there are a series of heads of animals and humans that are one of the few sculptural vestiges inserted into the Romanesque iconographic tradition that are preserved in the city. So far they have not aroused the interest of specialists and no one has dedicated a detailed study to these curious and interesting images located in the marginal spaces of such a beautiful building. This article aims to complete this gap addressing the study of the corbels of the small temple, projecting a thematic…

Conversations from a distance. Spanish and French eighteenth-century women writers
2011
By using, in many cases, French female authors of proven prestige as a basis for their activity, Spanish women writers were able to establish themselves in a position which in the eighteenth century, even more in Spain than in France, was still ambiguous and insecure, thus strengthening their aspiration to a new public legitimacy for women´s intellectual and literary activity.
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.
“Poisonous plants” or schools of virtue? The second “rise” of the novel in eighteenth-century Spain
2007
If Spanish literature (both Catalan and Castilian)had played a central role in the development of fictional prose narrative from the fifteenth century, the late eighteenth century witnessed a second "rise" of the novel, consisting not only of original works, but also of translations, in connection with changes in reading practices and new models of domesticity and sensibility. This essay focuses on moral debate about the sentimental novel, showing how it was both politicised (new types of fiction being usually perceived as foreign and subversive) and gendered, and how it contributed to shape women's uneasy relation to the novel in their reading and writing.
The obstacles to the development of secondary education in Spain, 1857-1900
2023
Human capital is one of the pillars of economic growth and development. However, the economic analysis of human capital presents a large number of difficulties, especially since the mechanisms that allow the accumulation of this type of capital, skills and knowledge, are intrinsic to human nature and, in general, are difficult to determine. But, in addition, the formation of human capital results from formal and informal learning and occurs throughout life, so its measurement is a challenge. Trying to overcome the drawbacks that the analysis of human capital poses, some researchers have proposed the differentiation of human capital into types or levels in order to see its differential effec…
