- PublicationOpen AccessDon Quijote, Las Meninas, and the Baroque notion of metaart(2018-01-24) Bautista Naranjo, EstherDon Quixote and Las Meninas represent, from two different artistic realms, a symbolic reflection upon the nature of Art. Cervantes’ Don Quixote could be con- sidered a book of books, where the literary phenomenon is dramatized and becomes part of the fictionalized world: libraries, the idealization of books and characters, the literary critique that some characters undertake, and the very story is an allegory of literature. Its contemporary Las Meninas, a painting in which metaartistic reflection reaches its height, shows a collective portrait where the content of the canvas includes the artist, the spectators, and, through a set of mirrors, it creates the notion of perspec- tive. Both works go far beyond their concrete themes and situations in order to repre- sent transcendent scenes that show the essence of the artistic phenomenon. A novel of novels, a painting of paintings, Don Quixote and Las Meninas both participate of a similar preoccupation that is conveyed through the pages of the novel and the lines of the painting. This study aims to highlight these theoretic and pragmatic conjunctions dealing with the baroque expression of Art though Art.
- PublicationOpen AccessLos verbos denominales franceses derivados de cul, un divertimento morfosemántico(2018-01-24) Aragón Cobo, Marina; Úbeda Aragón, SylviaThe lexical base “cul” is in French the starting point of a long morpho- logical process. In this study, we will limit ourselves to analyzing fifteen French verbs derived from “cul”, an object of lexical, semantic and syntactic fun. For this, we refer to the term “valence” in linguistics, a theory developed mainly by Lucien Tesnière. The examples provided will allow us to show that these denominal verbs, being very lexical- ized, have lost over time their semantic relationship with the base lexeme. They have thus passed into a figurative sense by a metaphorical process that dilutes the meaning of the base noun, remaining detached from any gross or repulsive connotation.
- PublicationOpen AccessLos animales fantásticos en Il milione: Varios ejemplos de descriptio(2018-01-24) Barja López, AnaIn this paper we are going to carry out a rhetorical analysis of some mar- vellous elements included in the polian work, specifically the unicorn, the griffin, and the ruc. Furthermore, we are going to take into consideration the salamander. Marco Polo refers to this subject to clarify the legend associated to this animal and to explain its true nature and origin. Despite not using in all cases the same descriptive pattern, he employs the descriptio to rationalise the traditional legends around these figures.
- PublicationOpen AccessSainte Agnès: version anonyme francese (BnF, fr. 1553)(2018-01-22) Solla, BeatriceThis paper will discuss the Vie de Sainte Agnès, a hagiographic narrative text in décasyllabes monorimes of the late 13th century, preserved exclusively in manuscript BnF: Fr. 1553. This paper aims to investigate literary sources and their re-elaborations in an at- tempt to seize all the peculiarities of the text. It will also analyze the poem in relation to the manuscript context, and will propose a hypothesis about possible authorship, as well as providing a first examination of the language, to point some typical features of the scripta.
- PublicationOpen AccessBoileau á l'école du XIXe siècle(2018-01-22) Hugel-Hamadouche, OuardaThe article examines the editorial decisions when publishing, in the 19 th century, the Works of Nicolas Boileau intended for young audience. The corpus in- cludes a dozen editions representative, by their diversity, of the various educational programs which occurred at the time. It explores the contribution of the iconographi- cal paratext and the biographical statements in the elaboration of a French cultural identity as much as in nurturing and developing a sense of belonging to a nation, by an ideological classicisation of a man of letters, in the 19 th century’s education system.
