In the Golden Age of Spanish Theater, an age of highly dramatized coronations and regal spectacles, Alban Forcione has discovered a surprising but persistent preoccupation with the disrobing of the ...king. In both the celebrations of majesty and the enthrallment with its unveiling, he finds the chilling recesses in which a culture struggled to reconcile the public and the private, society and the individual, the monarch and the man.
In brilliantly reinterpreting two of Lope de Vega's plays, long regarded as conventional royalist propaganda, Forcione places his texts in the context of political and institutional history, philosophy, theology, and art history. In so doing he shows how Spanish theater anticipated the decisive changes in human consciousness that characterized the ascendance of the absolutist state and its threat to the cultivation of individuality, authenticity, and humanity.
Trueblood pursues the artistic consequences of a key experience in Lope's life, the four-year love affair with Elena Osorio that terminated violently in 1587. Trueblood provides by far the fullest ...analysis and elucidation of Lope's masterpiece, La Dorotea, that it has ever received.
El presente trabajo sigue los lineamientos de dos enfoques a la luz de la antropología y la historia: las perspectivas “étic” (de fonético) -fuera de la cultura- y “emic” (de fonémico) -dentro de ...ella- para rastrear la época fundacional de la Clínica Vega en la ciudad de Cuenca del Ecuador. “Pensar los afectos” significa además otro parámetro de referencia, dada la condición de que el autor es parte del grupo familiar de dicha creación institucional. Penetra el trabajo en su época fundacional y sus correlatos en la ciudad, el país y el mundo en lo referente a lo ocurrido en torno a 1959, fecha de creación del presente centro de salud privado Se cita los médicos, los residentes, los internos, originalidades propias de la Clínica inicial “y sus circunstancias envolventes”, tanto como la división del trabajo familiar y por género en el manejo de dicho centro de salud en tiempos más artesanales, sin embargo más humanos de la medicina. La segunda parte del paper -más doctrinario y conceptual- se asoma a señalar las ideas médicas predominantes (paradigmas) en el país en cada época de su historia colonial y republicana. Termina analizando los impactos en la ciencia, la tecnología, la ética, el consumismo médico, desde una perspectiva crítica en tiempos comparativos en donde la medicina artesanal de antaño, contrasta con los nuevos tiempos más utilitaristas de la medicina y la salud contemporánea. Alerta finamente sobre la necesidad de impulsar un comportamiento descolonizador y mayormente emancipador frente a pulsiones dependientes de cánones afines a la globalización. Se documenta y respalda bibliográficamente con rigor científico el abordaje del trabajo.
In 1492 the Spanish humanist Antonio de Nebrija proclaimed that "language has always been the companion of empire." Taking as his touchstone a wonderfully suggestive sonnet that Garcilaso de la Vega ...wrote in 1535 from the neighborhood of ruined Carthage in North Africa, Richard Helgerson examines how the companionship of language and empire played itself out more generally in the "new poetry" of sixteenth-century Europe. Along with his friend Juan Boscn, Garcilaso was one of the great pioneers of that poetry, radically reforming Spanish verse in imitation of modern Italian and ancient Roman models. As the century progressed, similar projects were undertaken in France by Ronsard and du Bellay, in Portugal by Cames, and in England by Sidney and Spenser. And wherever the new poetry emerged, it was prompted by a sense that imperial ambitionthe quest to be in the present what Rome had been in the pastrequired a vernacular poetry comparable to the poetry of Rome.
But, as Helgerson shows, the new poetry had other commitments than to empire. Though imperial ambition looms large in Garcilaso's sonnet and others, by the end of the poem Garcilaso identifies not with Rome but with the Carthaginian queen Dido, one of empire's legendary victims. And with this startling shift, which has its counterpart in poems from all over Europe, comes one of the most important departures the poem makes from its apparent imperial agenda.
Addressing these rival concerns as they arise in a single sonnet, Richard Helgerson provides a masterful and multifaceted image of one of the most vital episodes in European literary history.
Se analiza la violencia existente en El pastor de Iberia (1591) de Bernardo de la Vega, atendiendo a las dos manifestaciones en que se presenta y desarrolla este impulso destructor: como violencia ...fisica que aniquila tanto a los personajes como al espacio en que estos habitan y tambien en una vertiente discursiva que atenta contra el lenguaje topico del genero pastoril. Palabras clave: Pastor de Iberia, genero pastoril, violencia. This article analyzes the existing violence in El pastor de Iberia (1591) by Bernardo de la Vega attending to the two manifestations in which this destructive impulse is presented and developed: as physical violence that annihilates both the characters and the space they inhabit, and also in a discursive aspect that attacks the topical language of the pastoral genre. Keywords: El pastor de Iberia, pastoral genre, violence.
Este trabajo analiza la funcion de los cuatro relatos del Antiguo Testamento reescritos por Lope de Vega en el libro primero de Los pastores de Belen: la violacion de Dina por Siquem, la historia de ...David y Betsabe, la violacion de Tamar por Amnon y la historia de Susana y los jueces. Se concluye que el autor plantea un itinerario de lectura que parte del pecado, que simboliza a una humanidad en ruinas, y que culmina con un anticipo de la llegada del Mesias. Las cuatro historias interpoladas, leidas en conjunto, sirven para interpretar el tema principal de los Pastores de Belen, pero pueden entenderse tambien en clave biografica, dentro del ciclo de arrepentimiento de Lope. Palabras clave: Pastores de Belen, Lope de Vega, Biblia, Antiguo Testamento, violencia sexual, ciclo de arrepentimiento. This paper analyses the function of the four Old Testament stories rewritten by Lope de Vega in the first book of Pastores de Belen: the rape of Dinah by Shechem, the story of David and Bathsheba, the rape of Tamar by Amnon and the story of Susanna and the judges. I propose reading the text via an itinerary beginning with sin, which symbolizes a humanity in ruins, and that culminates with the anticipation of the coming of the Messiah. The four interpolated stories, read together, serve to interpret the main theme of Pastores de Belen, but they can also be understood in a biographical sense, as part of Lope's cycle of repentance. Keywords: Pastores de Belen, Lope de Vega, Bible, Old Testament, sexual violence, cycle of repentance.
Los libros de caballería fue uno de los géneros literarios más difundidos en el imperio español durante el siglo XVI e inicios del siglo XVII. A pesar de que se ha escrito que circularon y fueron ...leídos en el virreinato peruano, las evidencias documentales al respecto resultan insuficientes. En esta nota problematizo ambos aspectos a partir de la bibliografía existente y las fuentes documentales. Palabras clave: libros de caballería, lectores, cultura letrada, virreinato peruano, conquistadores españoles Chivalry books were one of the most widespread literary genres in the Spanish Empire during the Sixteenth and early Seventeenth centuries. Although it has been written that they circulated and read in the Peruvian viceroyalty, the documentary evidence in this regard is insufficient. In this note, I problematize both aspects from the existing bibliography and documentary sources. Keywords: Chivalric books, readers, literate culture, Peruvian viceroyalty, Spanish conquerors
