Este artículo explora una posible influencia de Dionisio de Halicarnaso en la concepción historiográfica del humanista valenciano Luis Vives. El autor español se sumó al ambiente de renovación de las ...artes liberales de su tiempo, siempre con un enfoque ciceroniano que daba primacía a las tres primeras artes del discurso, y a la combinación sintética entre filosofía y retórica. Se trata de un modelo pedagógico procedente de Isócrates. En tanto Dionisio de Halicarnaso tuvo una gran influencia de estas ideas, desarrollando sus posibilidades en el plano historiográfico, se habría convertido en un perfecto modelo para Luis Vives.
Images of Christ have been a seminal battleground in racial politics. White representations of Christ have been tools of hegemonic domination for the last few centuries. While there have been ...attempts to "decolonize" biblical iconography, depictions of the Black Christ have elicited, on the one hand, white resentment and, on the other hand, Black self-hate. Coon Christ and Jesus of the People force whites to an admission that Christ was not a blond-haired, blue-eyed white man. They also work to force Black people to confront the fact many have inculcated in themselves what R. S. Tshaka has noted as mistaken ideas of "whiteness as being normative" and "beauty as whiteness". Jaramogi Abebe Agyeman wrote that until Black people refrained from worshipping a white Christ, the Black community would fail to build dignity.

El objetivo principal de este artículo es demostrar que la relectura que hizo Gabriel García Márquez de La historia de San Michele (1929) de Axel Munthe a principios de la década de los ochenta como ...preparación previa a la escritura de El amor en los tiempos del cólera (1985) tuvo una gran importancia en el resultado final de esta última, produciendo lo que Claudio Guillén denominaría una "influencia significativa". De este modo, se comprobará cómo la obra de Munthe le proporcionó al escritor colombiano algunas ideas fundamentales sobre la relación entre el amor y la enfermedad que este desarrollaría luego en su propia novela con su particular estilo e ingenio. Pero, sobre todo, se demostrará que la caracterización de uno de los protagonistas de El amor en los tiempos del cólera, el doctor Juvenal Urbino, surge de una fusión de las características de dos médicos que aparecen en La historia de San Michele: el doctor Jean-Martin Charcot y el propio Axel Munthe.
Los viajes de toda la vida de Paul Bourget a Italia parecen haber influido en su carrera literaria y en su evolución intelectual, de diletante a novelista de éxito y crítico psicológico. ¿Cómo ...condicionaron estas sensaciones artísticas italianas a Bourget para establecer una crítica psicológica cada vez más sistemática? ¿Cómo se refleja esta italianización en sus novelas y cuáles son las referencias artísticas que determinaron esta inclinación? Siguiendo el curso de esta peregrinación y el desarrollo de sus escritos, Italia parece un punto de inflexión en la evolución del pensamiento psicológico de Bourget. El objetivo de este artículo es precisamente arrojar luz sobre esta hipótesis y dar algunas claves de lectura para entender mejor la crítica del escritor.
The correspondence between Edward Young and Samuel Richardson reveals not only their reciprocal friendship, but also their complex network of authorship. Beginning with Young's Night-Thoughts ...(1742–46) and Richardson's Clarissa (1747–48), Richardson took an increasingly active role in Young's compositions, culminating in Conjectures on Original Composition (1759), while Young had a diminished effect on Richardson's writings. By viewing their work as part of a larger trajectory of literary influence, we can trace Richardson's significant impact on Conjectures on Original Composition and rightly consider him as that text's co-author, though he is framed instead as the work's recipient.
...to what extent, if at all, might the consideration of a "French Europe" in the Enlightenment period obfuscate resistance to French cultural propagation? ...recently, study of the reach of France's ...cultural influence in Europe has focused largely on canonical works of literature, forgoing a discussion of other sites of cultural exchange such as forms of sociability—Freemasonry or the salons, for example—or clothing and fashion. In Staging Civilization, he deftly incorporates cultural theory and a broad scope of historical approaches ranging from the "soft power" of cultural imperialism to histories of court culture and literary transfer. Evoking a global history of the spread of French culture left me wondering, however, how Markovits might understand the influence of the French language and theatrical performance in the many francophone theaters that dotted French colonial possessions in the eighteenth century.
Els estudis sobre literatura popular (en el sentit anglès de «folk literature») i sobre literatura culta han acostumat a seguir camins separats. Tanmateix, les interrelacions i les influències entre ...aquestes dues formes de literatura són evidents i remarcables. Així, molts escriptors han utilitzat referents presents en la tradició oral (temes, personatges i motius) per a crear les seves obres literàries en un exercici de recreació i d’enriquiment. En el cas de les recreacions textuals, aquestes es poden manifestar de maneres diverses, ja sigui temàticament, estructuralment o funcionalment. El mateix procés pot succeir a la inversa, amb obres de la literatura considerada culta que s’han recreat, adaptat i transmès oralment i han passat a formar part de la literatura popular.

Although Cicero's letter collections were known and read throughout antiquity, traces of his influence on the style of later letter writers and on the organization of their epistolary collections ...seem to diminish steadily. What remains constant in the extant collections of Cicero, Pliny, Fronto, Symmachus, and Sidonius is the large number of correspondents represented, the preponderance of letters from the period of the writer's highest prestige, and the subject matter of the letters published, which highlights the familial and wider social connections of the writers and their political, financial, and literary interests. All five collections project the ethos and values of a senatorial class.
