From engl-isc to whatever-ish: a corpus-based investigation of -ish derivation in the history of English
2020
Drawing on a wide array of historical and contemporary corpora, this article provides one of the first empirical analyses of the intricately related functional changes that -ish underwent in the course of English language history. By investigating the distribution of -ish formations, the analysis sheds light on the productivity of the suffix, which does not only become evident in the numerous hapax legomena, but also in the trajectory of change itself in which -ish occurs with ever new base categories and new functions. Moreover, the article revisits theoretical claims made in the literature about the diachronic development and synchronic properties of -ish and reassesses them in the light …
El fundamento liberal del derecho a la intimidad
2021
T: The right to privacy is configured as a ?retaining wall? against State interference into the private sphere of people?s life. Throughout this work we will try to expose the philosophical-liberal foundations that have led us to what is now conceived as the ?right to privacy?.
Estética y retórica de la inscripción. Lectura de la imagen-tiempo en "Solaris", de A. Tarkovski.
2014
El siguiente trabajo propone una lectura del film Solaris . En este trabajo se analizan las relaciones que la obra cinematografica de A. Tarkovski plantea con otras artes, como la pintura y la escultura, o la musica. El resultado es una reflexion general en torno a un concepto del signo filmico como marca, huella, inscripcion temporal; un intento de esculpir el tiempo. Se plantea igualmente en esta lectura de la alegoria tarkovskiana sobre el cine y la literatura el tema de la mimesis, y de la matriz como origen sin origen; de la Khora platonica como lugar de la inscripcion de las copias, y a su vez de la misma esencia del cine como inscripcion. Para nuestro analisis de todo ello recurrirem…
Un capítol en l'ús de l'al·legoria en Ramon Llull: exegesi del capítol 354 del Llibre de contemplació
2007
Allegory is one of the most interesting devices that Ramon Llull uses in Llibre de contemplacid to achieve the aim to present his doctrinal ideas in a persuasive manner. ln chapter 354, allegory takes the shape of a strange narration full ol symbolism, whose significance refers to the fight between virtues and vices, a conflict related to the opposition soul vs. body. In his Revelatio secretorum Artis, Salzinger presented this chapter as the key that allows the discovery of the secrets of Lullian Art. Salzinger's attributing the highest value to chapter 354 came from his parlicular understanding of thc role that «metaphor» plays in thc Lullian system of finding the truth. This work approach…
Tales of saviours and iconoclasts. On the provenance of "the Dead Sea Scrolls of Buddhism"
2021
Academic research on newly discovered ancient Buddhist manuscripts is largely based on objects that come from the antiquities market and to a much lesser degree on objects coming from documented and controlled archaeological excavations. Despite their being unprovenanced, collectors and scholars often present such objects with narratives mimicking provenance. The use of the label "Dead Sea Scrolls" attached to archaeological material without connections to Judaism or early Christianity is a prevalent example of this scholarly praxis. In this article, we deconstruct provenance narratives associated with the undocumented Buddhist manuscripts in the Schøyen Collection and discuss their implica…

Lovecraft y la creación de atmósferas en el cine fantástico
2011
El escritor norteamericano H.P. Lovecraft, considerado como figura clave del género de terror, ha ejercido una enorme influencia en la cultura popular, fundamentalmente en la literatura y el cine. Este influjo es notorio en el cine fantástico, especialmente en la creación de personajes y ambientes perturbadores. Pese a que la adaptación de sus obras a la gran pantalla no ha sido convincente, películas de ciencia ficción como Alien y La cosa consiguieron impactar con su poderoso imaginario y rendirle tributo.

El mito de Icario en la General estoria de Alfonso X
2013
This article studies the myth of Icarus as it is translated in the first part of Alfonso X's General estoria. Its analysis highlights aspects that are usually found in the mythographical episodes of the Alfonsine estoria, particularly linked with its possible sources and its internal characteristics. The latter ones are defined by the anonymity of the quote and an evident moral intention. Regarding the sources, if it is known that the mythography gets to the Alfonsine text through two paths, the gloss in the manuscripts and a mythographical work, the exact source or sources used by Alfonsine historians are still unidentified. I have begun searching where the elements that are found in no pr…
Le flair en images, ou comment est donnée à voir la communication olfactive
2016
How is the action of sniffing others, which has been depreciated by good manners and aesthetic standards, represented in pictures? In unveiling the theme of social sniffing, this essay aims to track variations around the odour of the body and olfactory communication in Western visual arts. This issue implies to examine the social roles of sui generis as well as artefactual human odours, and to assess figurative arts as a means to unveil historical trends in the forms and functions of the sense of smell in our culture. The corpus of figurative works consulted, far from exhaustive, stretches from medieval and classical allegories of smell to the visual language of perfume advertisements, thro…
