Welcome to the candy shop! Conflicting representations of black masculinity
2014
AbstractMainstream hip hop videos have long been known for their images of scantily clad women, extreme materialism, and misogynist and homophobic lyrics. In this article I focus on how rapper 50 Cent's masculinity is constructed and expressed through music, lyrics and images in his video ‘Candy Shop’ from 2005. This is a classically modelled hip hop video, replete with markers of hypermasculinity: fancy cars, ‘bling’, and lots of beautiful, sexually available women. Several scholars have discussed how women are exploited in videos like this and reduced to props for the male star. However, few have explored how this macho masculinity is constructed. Through a close reading of this video, us…
La circulación manuscrita de los poemas alfabéticos de Francisco de Osuna: El caso del manuscrito «MSS/74» de la Biblioteca Nacional de España
2013
International audience; A raíz del redescubrimiento en la BNE del manuscrito MSS/74 —una copiosa antología de cartas y opúsculos místicos del siglo xvi—, se pudieron identificar dos de los tres «alfabetos» anónimos al amor de Dios que cierran dicho compendio: se trata en realidad de dos poemas alfabéticos de Francisco de Osuna. Constituyendo un ejemplo inédito de versiones manuscritas de los poemas del franciscano andaluz, estos alfabetos presentan variantes significativas respecto de las versiones impresas procedentes del Segundo y del Cuarto Abecedario espiritual. El cotejo de ambas versiones, y el análisis atento de dichas variantes, evidencian la realidad de una circulación oral y manus…
Marcel Proust et l’imaginaire gothique
2020
By associating the imagination of progress with its corollary, permanent innovation, one has the feeling that modernity proceeds from a break with the past, as reflected by avant-garde artists. Nev...
Borges y Escher: el laberinto Barroco y las paradojas de la percepción del neo-Barroco
2016
En los laberintos barrocos se consuma el placer perverso de la complejidad artificiosa, el gusto por una arquitectura virtual que metaforice las infinitas trayectorias de un universo inextricable. Uno de los signos tangibles de la crisis neobarocca que aparece en la poética de Borges se puede encontrar sin lugar a dudas en la presencia de las metáforas geométricas del laberinto. También Escher, a través de sus representaciones gráficas del inestable equilibrio que existe entre ilusión y desilusión, entre descifración y duda ontológica, entre figuras posibles e imposibles, termina por inscribirse plenamente en el ámbito de la crisis neobarroca.
Classical and humanist works in the libraries of early modern Finland between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries
2009
This article examines the presence of classical, humanist and neo-humanist works in the libraries of the Magnus Ducatus of Finland between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. In this period, Sweden went from being a member of a Scandinavian union dominated by Denmark to an imperial power administering large areas of north-central Europe, only to be subsequently demoted to the role of a regional player increasingly tossed about by her neighbours, especially Russia. Despite economic, political, religious and cultural turbulence, international trends seem to have reached the Magnus Ducatus Finlandiae, both through Finns studying at key centres of learning and culture, and through reading b…
La tragedia española del Siglo de Oro en su contexto europeo: el canon trágico en Francia e Inglaterra
2017
Tragedy was born in Greece and was subsequently claimed and defended in Europe during the Renaissance and Baroque but, this being a gender as orthodox as changeable, it will be necessary to resort to a new reading of its components in order to adapt them to the reality of the Golden Age. Humanism promotes this recovery of the classical world and generates a significant literature on drama precepts that will not develop the same way in all European countries. While Italy and France opt for the acceptance and conversion of the ideas of Aristotle and Horace into style rules, Spain and England cannot fail to point out the dramatic dissonance between stage theory and practice, and, the aim of pl…

Sex and Prisons: Women and Spanish Penitentiary Reform, 1787-1808
2019
Whereas prisons had previously been thought of as transitory places for those awaiting trial, the new prison system aimed at the reformation of convicts. In Spain the first organisation set up to improve prison conditions was the Señoras de las Cárceles. This article shows how the Señoras attempted to erase the sexual aspect of women's prisons and create instead a morally acceptable space in which to educate female prisoners. Their practices reveal how changing ideas about punishment and education, sexuality and gender, entered the Spanish penal system, permeated civil society and facilitated the transition to a different legal regime.
