Daughter of fortune: Isabel Allende's popularity from a readership perspective
No full textThe primary aim of this thesis is to explore and critically interrogate Isabel Allende’s popularity cross-culturally in Britain and Spain. It analyses readers’ responses to Allende’s works as well as the discourses surrounding her public representation, an approach that is ‘readerly’ but must also take account of production and text. This approach is intended to further the understanding of Allende’s work which so far has always been analysed from a textual perspective. However, the relationship between Allende’s popularity, her texts, public representation and readers has not been yet analysed in detail.This thesis is innovative in other ways too. Methodologically, it approaches readers through the under studied cultural form of the reading group. It also incorporates a comparative dimension by looking at the reception of Allende in two different cultural contexts: the British and Spanish respectively. Finding out about Allende’s popularity has involved asking readers about their reading experiences as well as analysing the production of discourses around her public representation. Paul Ricoeur’s (1984, 1988) perspective on authorial intentions and readers’ responses to texts helps in understanding the intricacies surrounding what is involved in reading any text. It draws attention to Allende’s and her publishers’ authorial strategies, her ‘strategies of persuasion’ and the specificity of the lives and contexts of British and Spanish reading publics. Equally, this ‘readerly’ approach draws on feminist audience research and primarily on the work of Ien Ang and Janice Radway. Their work with viewers and readers respectively is particularly useful in establishing and developing methodological parameters for the study of reading groups. As a whole, this thesis contributes to the understanding of Allende’s cross-cultural popularity by situating readers at the centre

A pesquisa para este trabalho incluiu o enquadramento teórico contemporâneo sobre a internacionalização das empresas e o estudo de caso como metodologia de investigação.

Humanismo y Reforma en la corte renacentista de Isabel de Vilamarí : Escipión Capece y sus lectoras
No full textDurante la primera mitad del siglo XVI y en la corte salernitana del último príncipe de la casa Sanseverino y de su esposa, Isabel de Vilamarí (noble señora de origen catalán) se desarrolló un intenso clima intelectual. Allí se congregaron artistas y humanistas italianos y españoles. En este ambiente de intercambio cultural, atento en participar en las ideas de la Reforma que se difundió en Nápoles gracias a B. Ochino y a Valdés, nace el poema De principiis rerum del último académico pontaniano: Escipión Capece. En esta obra no sólo se rastrean motivos lucrecianos y virgilianos sino también el influjo de los tratados cosmológicos de Pontano. En este estudio, la autora propone el análisis de la figura y de la obra de Capece a través de sus lectoras: Isabel de Vilamarí y las mujeres cultas de su corte.During the first half of sixteenth century and in the Salernitan court of the last prince Sanseverino and his wife Isabel de Vilamarí (a lady coming from a noble Catalan family) an intense intellectual climate developed. Italian and Spanish artists and humanists met there. In this environment of cultural exchange, that shared in the Reform ideas divulged in Naples by B. Ochino and Valdés, Scipione Capece (the last member of the Pontanian Academy) writes his poem De principiis rerum. In his book Capece uses Latin literature (Vergil and Lucretius mainly) and Pontano's treatises on cosmology. The author of this paper studies Scipione Capece through his female readership: Isabel de Vilamarí and the learned women from her court

Literatura de cordel : a colecção e o pensamento de José Oliveira Barata
No full textO presente estudo analisa o conjunto de dez folhetos de cordel coligidos por José Oliveira Barata entre 1988 e 1995 à luz do pensamento exposto num ensaio que escreveu pela mesma altura, intitulado “Algumas Reflexões sobre a Literatura Teatral de Cordel no Setecentismo Português” (1992). Pelo facto de, nesse contexto, o autor defender a ideia de que a produção dramática editada em cordel era, mais do que a manifestação de um subsistema cultural autónomo, uma reacção premeditada à instituição social e literária, avança-se a hipótese de a selecção a que então procedeu como editor ter tentado ser particularmente fiel às ideias que vinha formulando como crítico. Deste modo, a análise do corpus definido atende, sobretudo, aos valores ideológicos subjacentes a cada composição e aos modelos de relação com o real, com a instituição e com o cânone que, em conjunto, preconizam. Uma vez comprovada a influência de semelhante visão sobre a colecção em apreço, recorre-se ao confronto com os paradigmas formais, temáticos e performativos do teatro português dos séculos XVII e XVIII para constatar que, embora certas potencialidades críticas fossem inerentes ao cultivo de determinados géneros e temas, não eram apanágio exclusivo da edição em cordel nem tão pouco do período temporal considerado por José Oliveira Barata
