Brodsky y la Navidad: “Dec 24, 1971”
2020
ABSTRACT: Throughout his life, Joseph Brodsky clung stubbornly to a set of habits and tastes. One of his most outstanding and surprising loyalties was his writing a Christmas poem every year, which in time produced around thirty different pieces. Among these is the remarkable «Dec 24, 1971», his last Christmas poem before he left the Soviet Union, which contains a reference to his idea of «empire» –a criticism of totalitarian regimes– plus an idea of Christianity as a religion of hospitality and brotherhood.

Vashti and the Golden legend: A pagan queen turns saint?
2014
Hagiographic texts establish a narrative template for shame, avoidance of shame, what looks like death wish in courtly literature. Scenes of shame and its avoidance through death are adapted and folded into romance and other genres and affect how characters behave and are described and gendered. This article treats saints' lives as literary texts and identifies the language used for female saints in the Old French and Old Occitan versions of the Legenda aurea and uses that codified language to compare the hagiographic text with a vernacular Jewish narrative: the Occitan Romans de la reina Ester, written in octosyllabic rhyming couplets by Crescas Caslari in 1327. This codification gives ins…
The cloud of Thecla and the construction of her character as a virgin (παρθένος), martyr (μάρτυς) and apostle (ἀπόστολος)
2019
In the Acts of Paul and Thecla (APTh) a cloud appears in the most important scenes of the tale. This motif is used to highlight the protection offered by God on behalf of the young woman and echoes that cloud appearing in Exodus guiding and protecting the Israelites. Thanks to these kinds of echoes, the author of the APTh tries to establish a connection between both scenes in his readers’ minds and builds, at the same time, the character of Thecla, portrayed as a virgin, a martyr or an apostle in different scenes of the narration. En los Hechos de Pablo y Tecla (APlTh) aparece una nube en algunas de las escenas más importante de la narración. Este motivo es utilizado para resaltar la protec…
Rodziny liturgiczne chrześcijańskiego Wschodu – panorama
2014
The life of the Eastern Churches and their liturgies still remain a deep well of undiscovered riches for many, their fertile and varied traditions are signposts indicating ways of being authentically Christian and truly catholic – in the full universal sense of that word. The return ad fontes liturgicos , called for by the Second Vatican Council, drew deeply from the wisdom of the ancient Churches, which were born – as indeed was the whole of Christianity – “in the East”; the research that was to follow, based on this essential insight, allowed many to reach that desired goal. That sense of dealing with the seamless and undivided garment of the tradition of the whole Church, allowed a compl…
