Arredor do Rexurdimento. Apuntamentos xerais
2020
Resumo: Este é un estudo do actual estado da investigación sobre o Rexurdimento. A partir dunha bibliografía actualizada, analizamos a renacenza galega e facemos a nosa achega en canto á definición, cronoloxía, características centrais, contribución ao imaxinaio nacional colectivo e o valor da lingua como elemento central na construción da identidade e criterio filolóxico na literatura. Ademais, o estudo parte da relación entre o campo político e o cultural. Para isto tomamos de base, e de xeito principal, os estudos de Xoán González Millán, Antón Figueroa e Alejandro Alonso Nogueira.

ENTREACTO / ENTR?ACTE Un film / A Film Chopin y los Sand, amor a cuatro bandas. Aproximación a la esfera privada de Fryderyk Chopin a partir de la pe…
2021
Two centuries later, the legend Chopin-Sand continues to supply the collective imaginary with vague readings, where historical truthfulness, let alone musical truth, is often contingent on the literary. The much discussed and bellicose romance between the Polish composer and the French novelist, George Sand, tends to some reductionism and evades an obvious reality: Fryderyk Chopin meets George Sand when she was already the mother of two children. This circumstance suggests reformulating certain romantic stereotypes. Jerzy Antczak?s biographical film Pragnienie Mi?o?ci (Chopin: Desire for Love, 2002) does not overlook this detail and makes it one of its narrative axes. The relationship betwe…
Commentaries on our new ways of perceiving disasters
2010
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to help readers gain more understanding of the new phenomena of terror, risk, and threat perception.Design/methodology/approachVarious authors are reviewed: Castel, Beck, Baral, Kellner, Sabada, Korstanje, and in particular, Baudrillard.FindingsSeveral matches are found among the reviewed authors which comprise, for example: late modernity (from 1970 to date) witnesses an increase of fears, panic, and risk assessments in social imaginary; these concerns are part of a process that opens the future to the contingency. That way, the decision‐making process in human beings sheds light on certain aspects of life such as health, body‐care planning but this has …
On the Reception of Grassmann’s Work in Germany during the 1870’s
1996
It has often been remarked that Grassmann’s mathematics was not widely appreciated during his lifetime. Although awareness of the dimensions of his achievements began to spread in the early 1870’s, even in Germany relatively few mathematicians appear to have been well acquainted with either the original 1844 edition of Grassmann’s Ausdehnungslehre or the mathematically more accessible edition of 1862. The main reasons for this weak and rather delayed reception have been described often enough---Grassmann’s isolated working environment and his nearly impenetrable language---but there are a number of related aspects that still deserve closer consideration.1
La Sicile, territoire de l'imaginaire dans les dictionnaires français du XVIIe siècle
2018
A partire da un corpus di dizionari monolingui francesi pubblicati tra il 1606 e il 1704, questo articolo si propone di estrarre l'idea di Sicilia dalle voci ad essa dedicate. L'articolo cerca altresì di mostrare che alcuni stereotipi riguardanti la Sicilia sono già saldamente istituiti nel Seicento e che questo territorio geografico è prevalentemente pensato attraverso il ricorso alla mitologia e al patrimonio culturale greco-latino. From a corpus of French monolingual dictionaries published between 1606 and 1704, this article proposes to extract the idea of Sicily from the entries devoted to it. This article also seeks to show that certain stereotypes concerning Sicily are already firml…
"Parva sed apta mihi"
2008
Dans l'oeuvre de l'Arioste une dialectique se fait jour entre des icônes du 'petit' et de l'intime, présentes dans les "Satires" mais aussi dans le "Roland furieux", et des icônes de l'immense et du précieux, caractéristiques de ce dernier. L'objet de désir qu'est le palais romanesque fait cependant surgir le fantasme menaçant des rivaux, tandis que le repli qui produit la maison-cellule ou la maison-cabane se profile comme un geste de protection par l'exclusion des rivaux. L'imaginaire de la 'maison' chez l'Arioste vit d'un double mouvement, tout comme double est la respiration rythmique qui génère à la fois la 'confortable' "ottava" et l'immense construction labyrinthique du roman.
"The Child in the House of Print"
2020
This article is devoted to the edition of Walter Pater’s “The Child in the House” printed on the private press of C.H.O. Daniel in Oxford in 1894. This edition may appear all the more surprising as it is deprived of illustrations, ornaments and miniation. However, if actual illustrations are missing—a usual practice of Pater’s since the second edition of The Renaissance in 1877—they are nevertheless implied in the very facture of the 68-page booklet printed by the Provost of Worcester College. Both the edition and the literary portrait partake in a specific form of literary impression understood as a process that stamps the brain and remains there, to be aroused anew when one reads or when …
Fautographie
2018
Il libro raccoglie sette portfolio realizzati da Michele Di Donato tra il 2010 e il 2016. In questi lavori Di Donato restituisce diverse “realtà”: da quelle del surreale legate al disordine dei pensieri di chi dorme, a quelle del fantastico e della silenziosa metafisica della notte; dalle condizioni dello spazio moderno transitorio, anonimo e solitario alle percezioni di luoghi tanto indistinti da potersi immedesimare in qualsiasi possibilità paesaggistica fino a raggiungere le dimensioni di un déjà-vu o di un posto futuribile di una quinta teatrale; e ancora, le realtà identitarie dei luoghi e delle genti di Sicilia come dei fermo immagine della storia, ancore visuali, vecchie cartoline ch…
Turismo existencial y de masas en París-Tombuctú
2012
Este trabajo analiza la representación crítica del turismo español construida por Luis García-Berlanga en "París-Tombuctú". Sirviéndose tanto del viaje interior del francés protagonista como de la visita de un grupo de turistas checos, el filme aprovecha la toma de contacto de estos personajes con la geografía valenciana y sus habitantes para parodiar tanto la ambigüedad con que los españoles se relacionan con lo extranjero como las contradicciones persistentes en la gestión turís- tica en nuestro país. La hospitalidad con que se acoge al protagonista contrasta con el maltrato que reciben los checos, al tiempo que los grandes eventos e infraestructuras espectaculares que tantos turistas atr…
Imperial straightening devices in disciplinary choices of academic knowledge production
2021
Abstract In this piece, the authors question whether critical language research, in its complex collection of researcher choices, is possible beyond the discursive imaginary of critical academic scholarship. In other words, how do (allegedly) anticolonial efforts re-orient towards contribution to the imperial record? We present three vignettes, through which we grapple with the notion that researcher choice exists within the solipsism of academia. In doing so, we frame research and scholarship as a collection of choices, which we believe are better understood as a collection of fraught dilemmas. These dilemmas recognize that all academic scholarship production and its processes are birthed …
