¿Discurso pornográfico? Diez años de sexo en el cine español (2008-2017)
2018
El artículo cuestiona la presencia de un discurso pornográfico en el cine español, partiendo de existencia de una tendencia "hardcore crossover" (Linda Williams) en otras cinematografías. Para ello estudia la representación de las relaciones sexuales en el más reciente cine español, el de los últimos diez años. En esa década asistimos a una confluencia de crisis –la digital, la financiera‒ que influyen de manera decisiva en las industrias culturales, entre ellas la pornográfica, y en la manera de vivir y representar el sexo en el cine generalista.
Folktales and Other References in Toriyama's Dragon Ball
2014
The aim of this article is to show the relationship between Japanese folktales and Japanese anime as a genre, especially how the intertextuality with traditional tales and myth subvert its conventional use. To meet this goal, the author examines Toriyama’s successful Dragon Ball series, which has enjoyed continued popularity right from its first publication in the 1980s. The article analyses the parallelism between Dragon Ball and a classic Chinese novel, Journey to the West, its main source. However, there are many other references present in Dragon Ball that are connected to religion and folktales. The author illustrates this relationship with examples taken from the anime that correspond…
Theatrum Mundi and site in four television Shakespeare films
2019
This article explores metatheatricality and site specificity in four Shakespeare television films produced by Illuminations Media: Gregory Doran’s Macbeth (2001), Hamlet (2009) and Julius Caesar (2012), and Rupert Goold’s Macbeth (2010). Drawing on metatheatrical theory applied to the screen and recent criticism on site-specific theatre, I explore the films as self-referential and self-conscious works embedded in environments that oppose the artifice of drama to the ‘reality’ of normative television film. Shakespeare’s aesthetic metaphor, presented in self-contained theatrical worlds, does not depict autonomous fictions but is disrupted by outside ‘reality’.
Montage and Spectator: Eisenstein and the Avant-Garde
1990
We could say that the avant-garde at the beginning of the century received the advent of cinema enthusiastically; that is not strange. Though the differences between groups, movements, works, or acts that are included under this arrogant name are sometimes too vast, there was a similar project — or group of projects — whose aim was to proclaim the crisis of a homogeneous world, born in the humanism of the Renaissance and validated in the Age of Enlightenment . Cinema thus became a suitable space for attacking and criticizing the artistic and cultural tradition. We can enumerate briefly some reasons for this attitude. First, cinema was one of the less 'artistic' forms of art, so to speak. Ci…
Scenes of Liturgy and Perversion In Bunuel
2004
La religión estuvo siempre presente en la obra de Luis Buñuel, tanto bajo la forma de la burla como de la fe o la torsión, desde L'âge d'or hasta La voie lactée. El presente texto interroga la función de la liturgia, en cuanto 'comunidad en oración realizando actos rituales' en la obra de Buñuel, es decir, de qué modo el realizador introduce claves de la liturgia católica en sus obras cuya comprensión y deslices resultan fundamentales para la interpretación. The Christian religion is far from being an accidental component in Buñuel's work. All his films show complex transactions with its referents, oscillating between the popular ingenuity (la Ilusión viaja en tranvía), the boundless and hy…

La seconda chance. Rohmer e l'arte di raccontare
2020
Il cinema di Rohmer è un cinema letterario? Prima di diventare regista Maurice Schérer (che non ha ancora adottato lo pseudonimo sotto il quale è conosciuto da tutti i cinefili) è stato uno scrittore. E nel primo dei tre grandi cicli in cui si colloca la maggior parte della sua opera - i Racconti morali - ha ripreso e adattato le sue novelle di tanti anni prima. La letterarietà dei Racconti morali è soprattutto legata a un uso molto sostenuto della voce fuori campo. L'abbandono di questa modalità narrativa sarà l'aspetto più evidente di un progressivo distacco dalla letteratura: la sua vocazione di narratore troverà nel cinema una dimensione completamente diversa. Is Rohmer's cinema a liter…
Relationship between Fertility Traits and Kinematics in Clusters of Boar Ejaculates
2021
The aim was to determine the relationship between kinematic parameters of boar spermatozoa and fertility rates of sow, as well as to assess the effect of sperm clusters on the fertility capacity of the ejaculate. Semen samples were collected from 11 sexually mature boars. Samples were analyzed by an ISAS®v1 CASA-Mot system for eight kinematic parameters. Ejaculate clusters were characterized using multivariate procedures, such as principal factors (PFs) analysis and clustering methods (the k-means model). Four different ejaculate clusters were identified from two kinematic PFs which involved linear trajectory and velocity. There were differences (p 0.05) between dam lines and ejaculate clus…
Reduced mRNA abundance of the main enzymes involved in methionine metabolism in human liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma
2000
Abstract Background/Aims: It has been known for at least 50 years that alterations in methionine metabolism occur in human liver cirrhosis. However, the molecular basis of this alteration is not completely understood. In order to gain more insight into the mechanisms behind this condition, mRNA levels of methionine adenosyltransferase ( MAT1A ), glycine methyltransferase ( GNMT ), methionine synthase ( MS ), betaine homocysteine methyltransferase ( BHMT ) and cystathionine β-synthase ( CBS ) were examined in 26 cirrhotic livers, five hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues and ten control livers. Methods: The expression of the above-mentioned genes was determined by quantitative RT-PCR analy…
IV: Signifikanztests - wann welchen?
2002
Standard statistics software packages offer a variety of significance tests. The major problem, however, is the correct choice of an appropriate significance test for the underlying data and design setting. In general, the choice of significance tests should decide between two sample versus one sample (i.e. interindividual versus intraindividual) analyses; a further determinant is the clinical endpoint's scale level (mainly continuous or categorical). Two sample comparisons can be performed using the Wilcoxon test for continuous endpoints and the exact Fisher test for binary endpoints. Intraindividual comparisons become feasible using the sign test for continuous and the McNemar test for bi…
