Baltasar Gracián in Menéndez Pelayo: Stylistic Prevention and Critical Acuity
No full textThe article reviews the references that the great critic and literary historian Marcelino Menéndez Pelayo made to the literary work of Baltasar Gracián, despite the limitations and prejudices that his time —and he himself— still had about the Baroque and the figure of Baltasar Gracián. The depth and critical insight of Menéndez Pelayo allowed him to intuit and anticipate some very important aspects for the subsequent interpretation of the work of the Aragonese writer.El artículo repasa las referencias que a la obra de Baltasar Gracián hizo el gran crítico e historiador de la literatura Marcelino Menéndez Pelayo, destacando que, a pesar de las limitaciones y prejuicios que su época —y él mismo— tenían aún sobre el Barroco y la propia figura de Baltasar Gracián. La profundad y perspicacia crítica de Menéndez Pelayo le permitió intuir y anticipar algunas claves y aspectos muy relevantes para la posterior interpretación sobre la obra del escritor aragonés
Baltasar Gracián and Modern Gnosticism
No full textThe modernity of the Baroque is related to the special way in which, at the beginning of the modern age, it took up the metaphysical and existential crisis of the loss of the traditional world and tried to combat it. The crisis at the beginning of modernity meant a reappearance of the Gnosticism that had not been definitively defeated at the end of antiquity. Following Hans Blumenberg’s interpretation of modernity as a second response to Gnosticism, it is proposed to consider that this response came not only from techno-scientific rationality, but also from baroque hermeneutic rationality. To this end, it is proposed to consider the baroque dispositive of refiguration of the world in terms of the way in which it participates in the process of ‘deconstruction of Christianity’ (Jean- Luc Nancy). In this specifically baroque response to Gnosticism, the thought of Baltasar Gracián is of exemplary value both for expressly offering a penetrating critical diagnosis of the unclean world, and for the original fictionalist response to the recovery of the world that he proposes.La modernidad del Barroco está relacionada con la manera especial en que, en los comienzos de la Edad Moderna, se hizo cargo de la crisis metafísica y existencial de pérdida del mundo tradicional e intentó combatirla. La crisis al comienzo de la modernidad suponía una reaparición del gnosticismo que no había sido definitivamente vencido al final de la antigüedad. Siguiendo la interpretación que Hans Blumenberg hizo de la modernidad como segunda respuesta al gnosticismo, se propone considerar que esa respuesta no fue solo la procedente de la racionalidad tecno-científica, sino también la que ofreció la racionalidad hermenéutica barroca. Para ello, se propone considerar el dispositivo barroco de refiguración del mundo atendiendo al modo en que participa del proceso de «desconstrucción del cristianismo» (Jean-Luc Nancy). En esa respuesta específicamente barroca al gnosticismo, el pensamiento de Baltasar Gracián tiene un valor ejemplar tanto por ofrecer expresamente un penetrante diagnóstico crítico del mundo inmundo, como por la original respuesta ficcionalista de recuperación del mundo que propone
Baltasar Gracián and Sacred Conceptism: Saint Lorenzo in Arte de Ingenio and Agudeza y Arte de Ingenio
No full textThis article examines the poems on the martyrdom of Saint Lawrence that appear in Agudeza y arte de ingenio, as well as the Jesuit’s motivation for selecting them. After an overview of the appearances of the saint in the golden lyric, we then study both internal and external aspects, to conclude with Gracián’s three possible reasons for choosing this type of sacred lyric in his treatise (knowledge of the hagiographic tradition, the fit of this sacred lyric in the author’s aesthetic proposal and his militant Aragoneseism).Este trabajo examina los poemas sobre el martirio de san Lorenzo que aparecen en Agudeza y arte de ingenio, así como la motivación del jesuita para seleccionarlos. Tras un panorama de las apariciones del santo en la lírica áurea, se estudian a continuación tanto aspectos internos como externos, para concluir con las tres posibles razones de Gracián para elegir este tipo de lírica sacra en su tratado (conocimiento de la tradición hagiográfica, encaje de esta lírica sacra en la propuesta estética del autor y su aragonesismo militante)

A chicken is good all year round. Seasonality of meat consumption in Renaissance cookbooks
No full textSeasonality studies have a long tradition especially for the Paleolithic and Mesolithic; the aim in these periods is, among the other things, to investigate hunter-gatherer mobility within a territory. When populations started to become sedentary and to breed animals, the meat of domestic animals became, in theory, available all year round, in contrast to plants that necessarily continued to follow seasonal cycles; therefore, investigations focusing on the season of death of the animals are usually lacking in the studies on later prehistoric periods or historical contexts.However, the reading of Renaissance cookbooks evidences that the season when it was preferable to consume the meat of different domestic and wild animals was still considered as very important in that period. The selection was based not only on taxonomy, but, within the same species, the age and sex of the individuals was taken into account. The seasonal choice was related to both practical and cultural-religious reasons. From a methodological point of view these Renaissance indications suggest that it would be useful to investigate the seasonal exploitation of animal resources in more recent contexts and interpret archaeozoological data also using this additional source of information.Seasonality studies have a long tradition especially for the Paleolithic and Mesolithic; the aim in these periods is, among the other things, to investigate hunter-gatherer mobility within a territory.

L’arvicola acquatica europea, Arvicola amphibius(Linnaeus 1758), nuove evidenze dalla Siciliaarcaico-classica, Selinunte (Trapani)
No full textLe analisi archeozoologiche condotte sul campione osteologico proveniente dal santuario urbano sull’acropoli di Selinunte hanno permesso l’identificazione di alcuni resti os sei riconducibili ad arvicola acquatica, Arvicola amphibius (Linnaeus 1758). Nonostante la documentazione inerente alla presenza di questo roditore in Sicilia sia molto scarsa, è possibile tracciare un quadro cronologico che vede l’arvicola presente sull’isola dalla fine del Paleolitico Superiore fino all’Antica Età del Bronzo, periodo dopo il quale risulta estinta. La recente scoperta in livelli di periodo arcaico/classico (VI-V sec. a.C.) sembrerebbe posporre di circa due millenni la data di estinzione di questo particolare roditore, la cui ecologia è strettamente legata a particolari habitat come fiumi, canali, specchi d’acqua dolce e stagni salmastri, peculiarità che un tempo caratterizzavano l’area dove sorgeva l’antica città di Selinunte.Le analisi archeozoologiche condotte sul campione osteologico proveniente dal santuario urbano sull’acropoli di Selinunte hanno permesso l’identificazione di alcuni resti ossei riconducibili ad arvicola acquatica, Arvicola amphibius (Linnaeus 1758).

Comunidad, vecindad y solidaridad. El gremio de prenderos de Madrid en el siglo XVIII
No full textThis paper proposes a study framed in Social History from the point of view of social relationships and the integration in the community of a guild from Madrid in the 18th century: the “prenderos”, secondhand dealers. This investigation highlights a neighborhood community -the one established in the Rastro of Madrid in this period- just like the neighborhood and the solidarity, understood as the main mechanisms that the most disadvantaged groups develop to survive. The main objective is to study the effects of the introduction and integration in the community of this guild, characterized by some social and economic dynamics that differed from the ones that prevailed in this area of the city. This paper is understood as a case study of the social situation in Madrid in the 18th century.El presente trabajo es un estudio de Historia Social que analiza las relaciones sociales y la integración en la comunidad de un gremio madrileño del siglo XVIII: los prenderos. Esta investigación hace hincapié en una comunidad de barrio -la establecida en el Rastro de Madrid por las clases populares durante este período- así como en la vecindad y la solidaridad, entendidas como los principales mecanismos que desarrollan los grupos más desfavorecidos para sobrevivir. El objetivo principal es estudiar los efectos de la introducción e incorporación a la comunidad de este gremio, caracterizado por unas dinámicas socioeconómicas que diferían con las que imperaban en esta zona de la ciudad. El trabajo se entiende como un estudio de caso que amplía conocimientos sobre la situación social de Madrid del siglo XVIII
