Laurentius Lotus [Lorenzo Lotto]. De Amore
2014
ABSTRACT: In the study presented here of some portraits by Lorenzo Lotto, I have attempted to establish a reading of the image, of the details that the artist offers us in his canvas which, to my way of thinking, orient us towards the semantic meaning of the painting. In this concrete case I deal with the theme of love. This entails, therefore, an in-depth exploration of the story that the artist wishes to consider through his work, with the aim of recording and classifying the image by analyzing both its graphic as well as literary precedents. KEY WORDS: Lorenzo Lotto, Portrait, Love, Allegory, Iconography. RESUMEN: En el estudio presentado aqui sobre algunos retratos de Lorenzo Lotto, se …
Bocángel?s Silva «El Retrato» : A Textual Trojan Horse?
2020
ABSTRACT: Gabriel Bocángel’s silva «El retrato» (c. 1638) is a textual Trojan horse in the war for poetic patronage in the early modern Spanish court. Written on the wedding of the poet’s cousin to Juan de Cetina, secretary to the Admiral of Castile, the poem is a verbal portrait of the bride that undermines not only the tradition of the descriptio puellae, but also the Count-Duke of Olivares’s power. As a panegyric of the latter’s enemy, the text employs the botanical images of the laurel and the ivy, exploiting the full sense of their symbolic meaning. As an appeal for the patronage of poetry and letters at court and an exercise in «self-fashioning» (Greenblatt), the text makes the lovers…
Emblemática y bestiarios en El día de fiesta de Juan de Zabaleta
2014
ABSTRACT: This article seeks to compare emblematics with El dia de fiesta (1654/1660) by Juan de Zabaleta, a collection of portraits of manners and characters marked by an encyclopaedic feature that serves the pronounced degree of religious and moral didacticism of the text. It first recapitulates the epistemological basis that Zabaleta has in common with emblematics, namely analogical thinking (Foucault) and the belief in the ‘readability of the world’ (Blumenberg). Subsequently it analyses the allegorical function of certain animals –the panther and the octopus, the ape and the turtle– which Zabaleta refers to as examples of virtues and vices, especially hypocrisy, comparing it to the mea…
Los icones de varones ilustres: un género emblemático
2015
ABSTRACT: In this study I analyze a group of books structured around a variant of the classical emblem based upon an illustrious personage, in which a portrait serves as the pictura and the name constitutes the motto. My purpose is to introduce what I consider to be a subgenre of emblematic literature and highlight some of its major works. I hope to spur interest in the further study of this subgenre, and thus move towards a more suitable conceptualization of the emblem for the purpose of its scientific analysis. KEYWORDS: icons, illustrious men, portrait, emblem theory RESUMEN: En este articulo se analiza un grupo de libros estructurados con una variante del emblema clasico construida en t…
Los retratos de Miguel de Cervantes: de la búsqueda del hombre al triunfo del mito
2017
ABSTRACT : Miguel de Cervantes has his own gallery of images that have come down to posterity, but who painted the portraits of Miguel de Cervantes that have been discovered over the course of time? Beginning with the verbal self-portrait of himself that Cervantes crafts in the prologue of his Novelas ejemplares (1613), this study traces the route of the different portraits sine 1738 that have been claimed as the true image of the author from Alcala de Henares. It is a path that follows along the character known as Miguel de Cervantes, which has imposed itself on the myth, taking precedence over the man who lived during the Golden Age. KEYWORDS: Cervantes; Portrait; Cervantine Iconography…
Multiple period annuli in Liénard type equations

Abstract We consider the equation x ″ x 1 − x 2 x ′ 2 + g ( x ) = 0 , where g ( x ) is a polynomial. We provide the conditions for existence of multiple period annuli enclosing several critical points.
W poszukiwaniu Toż-Samego i Innego w malarstwie Edvarda Muncha
2016
The subject of the interpretation of the presence of Emannuela Levinass the Same and the Other is Edvard Munchs painting . His self-portraits touch the problem of existence. The artist appears in the created painters space. The problem of identity is a ground for philosopher, painter and poets interpretation. Who is the Same and what a mask does he hide behind? The consideration of the description and analysis of paintings are confronted with thoughts of Rilke and the philosophy of Heidegger and Levinas. “Identity is confirmed in what is Said and Written” you can expand on what is Painted.
Assessing movie similarity using a multilayer network model
2021
International audience; This work investigates the movie similarity issue. A multilayer network model capturing various aspects of the story is built from movie scripts. Based on this representation, movies are compared not from summary or actors but using their storyboard. We rely on the "Portrait divergence" to quantify distances between graph characteristics. We illustrate the effectiveness of this approach in comparing movie series.
Are "good guys" more likely to participate in local agriculture?
2015
Abstract In recent years a new form of food production and distribution organisation, as part of small-scale and local agriculture, has been gaining ground. Generically termed short supply chains (SSCs), this new model of food procurement comprises various forms such as community-supported agriculture, box schemes and solidarity purchase groups. Consumer participation in SSCs is dictated by deep motivations: while consumers are principally encouraged by the desire to preserve local producers, as well as the social and environmental aspects of farming, the attraction of SSCs is also tied to different and more complex ways of perceiving food quality. The quality issue in SSCs is not only seen…
