    Verosimiglianza storica vs memoria creativa in "El prodigioso príncipe transilvano"

    No full text
    Reinventing the past is one of the assumptions of literature, which can shape and improve memories according to the circumstances and conditioning – being them conscious or not – of the act of writing. In the Spanish theatre of the Golden Age, political propaganda and the consequent need to propose heroes conforming to the prevailing political-religious ideology to the public of corrales de comedia were almost always conditioning the creative process. This is also the case of El prodigioso príncipe transilvano (1596), a historical comedy set at the time of the long Spanish-Turkish conflict (1526-1606) and dedicated to exalting the figure of Sigismund Báthory, in truth one of the most controversial figures in the history of Romanian principalities. In the text, the fanciful positive representation of the prince as a model of miles Christi contrasts with the negative one of the bloodthirsty Ottoman sultan, Muhammad III, in a continuous mixture of respect for history and opportunistic manipulation of documentary sources. This contribution aims at investigating the extent and mechanisms that, in the text, regulate this intersection of historical reliability and creative reworking of a recent past for pro-Spanish and pro-catholic propaganda purposes

    Formas de protesta en una comedia del Siglo de Oro: «El prodigioso Príncipe transilvano»

    No full text
    El artículo examina el conflicto entre poder y rebeldía en una comedia de finales del siglo XVI, de autoría incierta, que se ambienta en las fases finales del largo conflicto hispano-turco (1526-1606). El objetivo es demostrar la presencia en la pieza de una dicotomía entre rebelión ‘justa’, contra los turcos, e ‘injusta’, por parte de los nobles transilvanos protestantes, contra el príncipe Segismundo Báthory, presentado como baluarte del cristianismo. Para ello se comentarán todos los lugares del texto relacionados con la representación de formas de desobediencia, protesta o rebelión, cotejando, cuando es posible, los varios fragmentos en prosa o en verso con las fuentes documentales del tiempo que relatan tales noticias. Esto permitirá también demostrar la manera en que el autor de la comedia ha explotado tales fuentes, manipulándolas y amplificándolas a favor de su visión procatólica y filoimperial; una visión cuyo propósito final es la constitución de la imagen de un príncipe cristiano absolut

    The present article intends, first, to reconstruct the image of Francisco de Quevedo by studying some of his satirical burlesque poems in which self-representative and autobiographical elements appear. Apparently ambiguous and fragmentary, these elements, as a whole, offer a very authentic and personal vision of the writer. Secondarily, it aims at exploring these burlesque autoetopoeias to know their characteristics and their relation both with Gongora’s example and the canons of portrait rhetoric.El presente trabajo se propone, en primer lugar, reconstruir la imagen de Francisco de Quevedo a partir del estudio de algunos de sus poemas satírico-burlescos en los que aparecen elementos autorrepresentativos o autobiográficos; aparentemente ambiguos y descompuestos, en realidad, estos, en su conjunto, ofrecen una visión muy auténtica y personal del escritor. Secundariamente, pretende explorar estas autoetopeyas burlescas para conocer su índole y su relación tanto con el precedente gongorino como con los cánones de la retórica del retrato

    Nuevos documentos sobre la fortuna de los "Sueños" en Italia: la mirada de un lector romántico

    No full text
    El presente trabajo da cuenta de un nuevo hallazgo acerca de la fortuna de los "Sueños" de Quevedo en Italia; no se trata en este caso de una nueva traducción, sino de otra forma de recepción y divulgación del conocido texto satírico, hasta ahora poco explorada: el comentario literario. El artículo ilustra cómo el periodista y escritor romántico Cesare Malpica publica, en 1838, en un famoso semanario napolitano, "Il Lucifero", un pormenorizado análisis de la obra quevediana con el evidente objetivo de darla a conocer a los lectores italianos, demostrando, así, la presencia, en el siglo XIX, de un tímido intento de rescatar del olvido la cultura española barroca, tras el rechazo sufrido durante le época neoclásica

    "Con chi vengo vengo" di Michele della Marra fra Calderón de la Barca e Angiola D’Orso

    This paper aims at studying the Italian fortune of the Calderonian play Con quien vengo vengo , firstly, by focusing on its first version by Michele della Marra (1665) and then moving on to a triple textual comparison between the Calderonian source-text, the rewriting of Della Marra and the second adaptation by the actress Angiola D'Orso, whose first edition came out in 1666. Despite his faithfullness to the plot of the original text, the first translator remodels the text either by summarizing it, or removing certain typically Calderonian rhetorical artifices, or replacing the figure of the gracioso by that of the southern servant, who uses the dialect. On the contrary, Angiola D'Orso shows greater respect for the Spanish play, displaying more sensitiveness toward its rethorical beauty, which she is able to reproduce successfully

    An Analysis of Water Security under Climate Change

    Full text link
    Water is a multidimensional issue, involving water availability, access to freshwater, spatial and temporal distribution of resources, competition among its uses, ecosystems conservation, climate-related disasters and risks and several other aspects. The water security approach manages such complexity and proposes a comprehensive view of human security in relation to the water-related issues. Consequently, the solutions developed in order to face this multi-faceted concept should reflect its thorough vision. The aim of the present work is to investigate the relationship between climate change and water security. Exploring such a relationship is truly important in order to help policy-makers in the development of adaptation and mitigation strategies. In the water context, this challenge is further complicated by the possible conflicts arising between climate and water policies. In order to carry out such an analysis, an indicator measuring water security, namely the Water Security Index, is created. In the present work, climate change is considered from four different perspectives but, as revealed by the econometric results, it always has a predominant (negative) effect on water security
