Qué hacemos con la literatura. (David Becerra, Raquel Arias, Marta Sanz y Julio Rodríguez)

2015

Este libro lleva a cabo un recorrido en torno a la idea de la literatura en tanto practica entendida como un ejercicio placentero y autonomo que hereda los principios del pensamiento idealista del poder dominante, cuando deberia ser utilizada como una herramienta de reaccion frente a la comercializacion y sus implicaciones en la sociedad (creacion de sujetos pasivos); la literatura deberia erigirse, defiende el libro, como una herramienta de visibilizacion frente a las relaciones de poder establecidas.

In Other Words: The Ethics of the Translator in 17th-century al-Andalus. The Perspective of Aḥmad Ibn Qāsim al-Ḥaǧarī al-Andalusī

2015

This study focuses on a particular aspect of the Translation Studies orDirāsāt al-tarǧamah, i.e. the ethics of the translator.Starting from the analysis of concepts like “cultural otherness” or “linguistic hospitality”, theorized by Antoine Berman, Lawrence Venuti and Paul Ricoeur, and concerning the translator’s process of mediating between languages and between cultures, it will be taken into account the specific case of a muslim traveller and interpreter, Aḥmad ibn Qāsim al-Ḥaǧarī al-Andalusī (d. 1051/1641), author of theKitāb Nāṣir al-dīn ʿalà l-qawm al-kāfirīn, who was asked, by a Christian authority (the Archbishop of Granada), to translate some Arabic manuscripts.In such a context, t…

The dialogics of metaphor and simile in Elizabeth Bowen’s The Last September

2013

Metaphors and similes characterise Elizabeth Bowen’s writing. Despite frequent claims that this contributes to the lexical, grammatical and syntactic irregularities of her style and hence makes her writing difficult to understand, I show that her metaphors, similes and literal descriptions in a selected passage from The Last September function within conventional linguistic structures. While my analysis of metaphors and similes is conducted with reference to Bakhtin’s essay “Discourse in the Novel”, I use Martin and Rose’s model of Discourse Analysis (2007) and Steen’s study of metaphor in literature (1999) as practical tools for my analysis of the text. I discuss how ‘dialogic’ linguistic …

The Unpublished Drafts of Five Poems on Julian the Apostate by C. P. Cavafy

1981

The texts which are being published here for the first time are part of a group of drafts conserved in the Cavafy Archive, which George Savidis first brought to light; they are poems ‘which Cavafy did not have time to finish, and which he was considering with distress during the last months of his life. Carefully preserved by the poet himself in makeshift dossiers, each with its provisional title and the date, they cover the period from 1918 to 1932 and, together with the nearly completed drafts of a few already published poems… and of some unpublished but completed poems, offer us a unique, unexpected, extremely moving image of the stages of Cavafy’s creation’. Among these unfinished poems…

Una Poètica Dialògica: Atlas de Pere Salinas i Joan Navarro

2012

Pere Salinas and Joan Navarro initiated with Atlas (Correspondencia 2005-2007) a dialogue between painting and poetry. The book starts with a painting by Pere Salinas, which provokes a poem by Joan Navarro, which in turn provokes a painting. It continues this way until getting to 46 images and 46 poems. The concept of dialogism allows analyzing how alterity, the orientation towards a nonverbal answer, determines poetical writing. The poet, in his dialogue with each pictorial text, searches for new ways of expression that privilege the showing, from deictics to images, and this search leads to an experimentation that alters the entire poetical system. Time and space are not opposed. Painting…

Invention and Imagination in Sixteenth-Century English Literature

2014

This article discusses the all-important concepts of invention and imagination within the literary terminology of sixteenth-century England, viewing the former as a concept in transition associated with the rhetorical notion of ‘finding’ within a topical system as well as with ideas on the imagination, and connecting the latter with theories on the workings of the human mind. The conceptual discussion revolves around a selection of extracts taken from early modern dictionaries, works on rhetoric, and poetics, poems, and plays.

Of “You” and “Thou,” Lips and Pilgrims in the Translation of Romeo and Juliet’s “Shared Sonnet”: A Hands-On Perspective

2019

Abstract It is not a recent discovery in the field of language history that the address pronouns thou and you were not, in Shakespeare’s time, used indiscriminately. If the speaker did have a choice between the two forms, that choice was by no means random, idiosyncratic or arbitrary, but always dictated by the social, relational or attitudinal context of a speech act. Nonetheless, all 20th-century Romanian translations of Romeo and Juliet (and of other Shakespearean plays) – from Haralamb Leca’s rather loose rendering (1907) to Ștefan-Octavian Iosif’s and to Virgil Teodorescu’s more refined versions (1940 and 1984, respectively) – seem to ignore the difference in associative meaning betwee…

Deep Emotions, Poor Narratives: On the Iconography of the Retreat ( La Retirada )

2011

The Spanish Civil War and the subsequent border crossing of the Republican population towards France in February 1939 generated a profusion of images of which only a few have become recognizable icons that represent the injustice performed by Franco's victorious army. However, most of these images have circulated without any historical context, thus becoming abstraction rather than historical realities. This article discusses the way the corpus of visual —mostly through film— representations of exile have been used and abused, how they have been "migrating" from one media to another, and hence how they have changed their semantic value and have been use to support different ideological mess…
