On Conditions Instantiating Tip Effects of Epistemic and Evidential Meanings in Bulgarian
2012
Статья посвящена условиям, при которых происходит попеременная актуализация то эвиденциального, то эпистемического компонента в семантическом потенциале эвиденциальных показателей болгарского языка. Сосредоточиваясь на сентенциальных наречиях с инферентивными функциями, мы опираемся на следующие предпосылки: (i) для каждой единицы следует отличать её устойчивое семантическое значение от прагматического потенциала, выявлению которого способствуют (или препятствуют) те или иные коммуникативные условия; (ii) эвиденциальные и эпистемические компоненты значения довольно легко вытесняют друг друга из позиции доминанты, причём процесс подавления то одного, то другого компонента обусловлен действие…

Sex and Prisons: Women and Spanish Penitentiary Reform, 1787-1808
2019
Whereas prisons had previously been thought of as transitory places for those awaiting trial, the new prison system aimed at the reformation of convicts. In Spain the first organisation set up to improve prison conditions was the Señoras de las Cárceles. This article shows how the Señoras attempted to erase the sexual aspect of women's prisons and create instead a morally acceptable space in which to educate female prisoners. Their practices reveal how changing ideas about punishment and education, sexuality and gender, entered the Spanish penal system, permeated civil society and facilitated the transition to a different legal regime.
'Reyes, santos y maridos: personajes portugueses en el teatro español del Siglo de Oro'
2015
La realidad portuguesa forma parte del acervo temático del teatro español del Siglo de Oro, que destaca de los lusos su valor en la guerra y su exceso en la pasión. Las interacciones literarias se produjeron en dos sentidos: la tradición lusitana fue tratada en las piezas españolas, y los dramaturgos portugueses escribieron en castellano siguiendo a Lope de Vega en su Arte nuevo de hacer comedias en este tiempo (1609). Aunque la historia y la hagiografía serán las vertientes más explotadas debido a la repercusión de sus protagonistas, en otras ocasiones Portugal servirá de ambientación a conflictos universales. Reyes como don Afonso Henriques, don João II o don Sebastião protagonizan obras …
Translating the Classics into the vernacular in sixteenth-century Italy
2015
Whilst early- and mid-fifteenth-century Italian humanism had concentrated on ambitious new translations from Greek into Latin, rather neglecting the vernacular, the sixteenth century is characterized by a proliferation of vernacular works in all fields and, especially from the 1530s on, intense activity in translating classical works into Italian. This article discusses some material features of the original and translated publications under consideration, but especially explores linguistic choices and translation techniques used by three translators in a variety of classical texts: Antonio Brucioli (1487–1566), who translated among other things the texts discussed here, the Rhetorica ad He…
El cuerpo como desafío al ideal de feminidad franquista. Sara Montiel, la estrella española que vino de Hollywood (1950-1957)
2020
El éxito sin precedentes de El último cuplé en 1957 confirmó a Sara Montiel como el primer gran mito sexual del franquismo. Partiendo del concepto de estrella cinematográfica como una representación cultural construida tanto dentro como fuera de la pantalla, el artículo aborda cómo la actriz encarnó un modelo de mujer que desafiaba los ideales franquistas de género que el régimen trataba de imponer al conjunto de españolas. Mediante el análisis intertextual de películas y documentos hemerográficos, principalmente de las revistas cinematográficas, se observa cómo Montiel fue un icono de feminidad, en la línea de otras voluptuosas estrellas internacionales de los años cincuenta, convertid…
The Nation of the Socialist Intelligentsia: The National Issue in the Political Thought of Early Latvian Socialism
2012
This article deals with the political debates of early Latvian socialists concerning the national question in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. These debates were crucial for the later development of Latvian politics. The idea of Latvian democratic statehood was first pronounced and advocated in this context. The debate also strongly influenced those Latvian socialists, who as the ‘vanguard of Bolshevism,’ later became devout followers of Lenin. An interaction of several intellectual traditions can be observed in these debates, both German and Russian. The internationalist orientation of the later Bolsheviks (Fricis Roziņš, Pēteris Stučka) is mainly due to the influence of th…
Approaching Economic Inequality through Late Medieval Tax Records: Valls (1378), Sevile (1384) and Palma (1478)
2017
Wealth inequality in pre-industrial societies is a newly reinvigorated topic in economic history. Late medieval historians, particularly those of Iberia, face the challenge to catch up with their early modern counterparts. This proves completely possible due to the existence of analytic methods already developed in economics, as well as tax sources based on patrimony estimates of tax-payers. With the aim of addressing such a topic, this essay analyses three cases coming from various late medieval Iberian populations: Valls (1378), Seville (1384) and Palma (1478). In the case of Valls and Sevile the evidence has been based on transcriptions of available material, while for Palma we have stud…
An analysis of metaphors in the biographies of the ‘GDR children of Namibia’
2020
Metaphors are linguistically dense images that transfer terms from their original usage to a different context and describe actions and objects beyond their literal meaning. This article uses Rudol...
Tribal Politics, Suits and Rock Music: Electioneering in Meghalaya
2016
ABSTRACTPublic discourse in India's northeastern state Meghalaya is dominated by issues of tribal identity and the threat of being overwhelmed by outsiders. In the context of national elections, local campaigners have to respond to and navigate between the different requirements of national and regional politics. Election campaigns, understood as a negotiation process during which campaigners act as brokers, provide insights into the narratives and characteristics of politics in Meghalaya. Manifestos, leaflets and large-scale events communicate a statement about organisational strength and a candidate's popularity, and subsequently about the capacity to ultimately deliver to the voter. Aest…
