Els discursos fundacionals sobre el català
2021
This paper attempts to draw a general perspective, from the main aspects that take part in them, of the discourses on the origin and the appearance of Catalan language that have been proposed since there has been works of historical reflection on this language.

On the Relationship Between Contemporary Novel-Essay and Science-Fiction
2022
The article inquires upon a possible connection (both formal and thematical) between the literary genre of science-fiction and the form of the novel-essay. Both of them trace their roots back to the late 19th century culture and share a philosophical ambition to interpret the world through narrative philosophy, albeit in opposed ways. After sketching a brief history of the two forms (also underlining their crossroads and similarities), the essay concludes with a parallel reading of two novels by David Foster Wallace and Michel Houellebecq in late 20th century. An open question upon the future paths of a "science-fictional" novel-essay is placed at the end.

Evaluating and grouping the literature historical relics, including the correspondences by letters between famous people, for a ground (base) we could take categories which demonstrate the qualities which have elements from the material world in an anent with a human. The cultural historian Fridrich Waidacher by researching the interconnection and selective values between material and spiritual world classified the evidences of material world in several chapters which are not strictly caged in permanent schemes (patterns). The division was made by taking F. Waidacher conception as a base and researching the correspondence by letters of Latvian poets and cultural workers: The potential value…
Amour et mort, vie de sainteté dans la littérature et la spiritualité à València au XVème siècle : de saint Vicent Ferrer à Sor Isabel de Villena
2019
Résumé: Le Royaume de València, au XVème siècle, tient une place majeure dans l’histoire de la littérature et de la spiritualité et dans l’histoire religieuse de la péninsule Ibérique, cependant que s’achève la Reconquista et que s’unifient les Espagnes. Une même quête de réforme morale et d’élévation spirituelle s’exprime aussi bien dans les sermons du dominicain Fra Vicent Ferrer que dans les traductions d’auteurs classiques et de la Renaissance effectuées par un autre dominicain, Fra Antoni Canals. La spiritualité valencienne est militante : elle veut convaincre, séduire, donner et parfois imposer ce qu’elle reconnait comme indispensable à la perfection et au salut. Les héros valenciens …
Les cartes-marc de la Història de Valter e Griselda de Bernat Metge i les del Griseldis de Petrarca
2013
Resum: L’any 1388, Bernat Metge tradueix al catala el text llati en que Petrarca havia traslladat la darrera historia del Decamero de Boccaccio, la Historia de Valter e Griselda que el poeta d’Arezzo titula De insigni obedientia et fide uxoria . Embolcallant la seva versio de la historia, Petrarca remet sengles cartes al seu amic i autor del relat. En aquestes cartes li exposa els motius que l’han portat a traduir el text i fa consideracions sobre la conducta de Griselda. Metge tambe envolta la seva traduccio arromancada amb dues cartes i la dedica a madona Isabel de Guimera. Aquest treball es un estudi sobre l’enorme difusio que ha tingut el relat boccaccia en la historia de la literatura …
The Ransom project. A visual, multidisciplinary research on kidnapping and mediation
I am working on a multidisciplinary and transmedia project focused on kidnapping and mediation through the centuries. Starting from the current debate on Public History, I will produce both a written, canonical dissertation and also an audiovisual project, likely a documentary or a series of short films. Kidnapping is a human practice that somehow predates human history, since it is present in several mythological narratives from all over the world. With his recurring characters, the process of kidnapping have a built-in narrativity that can be examined with the tools of comparative literature, folklore studies and semiotics. My aim is to highlight the continuities and changes in this pract…
El sitio de Max Aub en el campo literario: la ubicación de un clásico
2014
En el campo literario, la acción conjunta de determinadas instancias de mediación y de consagración puede favorecer la ocupación de un lugar privilegiado y, por consiguiente, posibilita que se logre una posición de relieve en el sistema de producción y circulación de bienes simbólicos, en virtud de la jerarquía que va del reconocimiento a la exclusión. Así, el legado de Max Aub, hoy considerado un clásico contemporáneo, se aborda aquí con el fin de explicar cómo una obra se sitúa en el canon más allá de la desaparición de su autor, qué puede condicionar su variabilidad y qué instancias la amparan, interaccionan a su favor y la legitiman en el campo literario.
