Transnational Precursors of American Realism

2019

This chapter concentrates on European realist innovators—Björnstjerne Björnson, Ivan Turgenev, Leo Tolstoy, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Honoré de Balzac, Gustave Flaubert, Guy de Maupassant—and their effect on the formative period of American realism. It studies in detail the transatlantic development of new techniques and discusses the ways in which these new methods were reflected in the works of American authors and critics. Inspired by the theories and practice of their precursors, American writers felt liberated to introduce new narrative strategies to represent America’s rising urbanism, the struggles of the social classes, and the increase of social mobility in the industrial age. They also d…

Reality, Realism and Mimesis

1998

In any discussion of a literary work, ‘reality’ has no objective existence. It cannot be proven through scientific methods. What can be considered as ‘realistic’ is what is believable. Far from being a mere replica in a mirror, fictional reality is only validated by the readers’ acceptance of artistic illusion.

Un Quijote de Picasso

2005

El presente ensayo propone una aproximación iconográfica a la obra cervantina de Picasso contenida en una carpeta, con veintiún grabados y un dibujo original en bolígrafo rojo, que forma parte de la colección Sedó depositada en la Biblioteca Nacional. Además de poner de manifiesto la vinculación con lo español del pintor, resulta ser una buena muestra de la inquietud creativa del artista malagueño en torno a 1936. (A)

Television violence: A development of a coding scheme

1997

Traditional analyses have treated TV violence as a homogenous entity disregarding the nature and context of the violent acts. A new coding scheme was designed to examine the amount of violence portrayed on TV; the degree to which it is obtrusive; and the messages it conveys. The final, 37 item coding scheme is sensitive to features of televised messages whether in fiction, or in non‐fiction. It included contextual themes concerning intensity (seriousness, realism, way of dramatization), and attractiveness (justification, glamorization, efficacy) of TV violence. The coding scheme was applied to an analysis of a program sample which consisted of all genres (N = 259) presented on Finnish netwo…

Picasso y Christian Zervos. Los dibujos escultóricos del cuaderno de Cannes, en 1927, y las esculturas biomórficas modeladas en París, en 1928

2012

This article establishes the analysis of Picasso´s drawing in Cannes, in 1927, and their relation with the sculptures fashioned in París in 1928. The review of this drawing with a new plastic purpose and the comparison with other preceding sculptures in different materials facilitate a new reading, and explain the artist evolution in that specialty and the unpublished nature of immediate sculptures. The influence on important avant-garde and surrealist artists increases the interest in this review and the conclusions reached. El artículo plantea el análisis de los dibujos escultóricos de Picasso en Cannes, en 1927, y la relación establecida con las esculturas que modeló en París en 1928. La…

WHY IS IT NOT SO EASY FOR A PRESENT-DAY PHYSICIST TO BE GENUINELY A CHRISTIAN?

2021

A short description of the relationship between Physics, Philosophy and Theology is: Physics neglects or passes by Natural Realism, which is the origin of Philosophy. In turn, Natural Realism is backed up by Judeo-Christian revelation. Therefore, Physics neglects or passes by Theology. That relationship between Physics and Theology is widely used as a background for exercising an intense pressure on Theology. The defence of Theology should begin by pointing out certain shortcomings of Physics and formulating a philosophical control of these shortcomings. This is tantamount to turning Physics instead of Theology into a “site under construction”. Only a “controlled” Physics and Theology are a…

Tensions and expression in Milos Forman’s American films

2012

Milos Forman’s American films require a plural outlook. The director has always been drawn to stories of conflicts that are essential, according to him, to study human passion. This tension, thematic as well as esthetic, allows him to show the smallest mechanisms that lead to oppression in European and American stories, providing the viewer with a lesson of anatomy that pinpoints the most invisible magnetic forces leading to power. This course is accompanied by a journey to individualism, through forces involved in the identification with attractive though realistic characters, through the rediscovery of individual freedom within primitive or regressive worlds, insisting on the necessity of…
