Imágenes pop en la poesía de Luis Alberto de Cuenca
No full textEn este artículo se intenta delinear el diálogo entre el culturalismo y las influencias del ambiente urbano, como por ejemplo el Pop Art, el cine negro o los cómics, en la Poética de Luis Alberto de Cuenca. El poeta los compagina al crear un horizonte literario, una red de referencias entrelazadas, cuya esencia reside en incorporar la realidad exterior del poeta y del lector en el texto, dando pie de esta forma a la lectura creativa en la acepción que la fenomenología literaria de la Escuela de Ginebra le da al concepto. El filón intertextual se advierte a lo largo de toda la obra luisalbertiana, siendo uno de los elementos de identidad del poeta, inscribiendo la poesía de Luis Alberto de Cuenca en la línea de autores como Jaime Gil de Biedma, Jon Juaristi o lo que Darío Villanueva llama “escritura palimpsestuosa”.In this paper, we intend to delimit the dialogue between culturalism and the influences of the urban background, such as Pop Art, black cinema or comic strips, in the Poetics of Luis Alberto de Cuenca. The poet binds us to create a literary horizon, a network of connected references, which has an essence that resides in the incorporation of the reality exterior to both the poet and the reader into the text, thus paving the way for a creative reading in the sense of the literary phenomenology coined by the Geneva School. The intertextual thread can be noted throughout the works of Luis Alberto de Cuenca, and it is an element of the poet’s identity, inscribed in the poetry of the author in the manner of other writers such as Jaime Gil de Biedma, Jon Juaristi or Darío Villanueva names “palimpsestous writing”
Destinos intelectuales en el espacio español: el caso de los escritores Alexandre Busuioceanu, Vintilă Horia, George Uscătescu
No full textEn este trabajo pretendo abordar el tema del extranjero desde el punto de vista del exiliado. Me centro en la obra literaria de unos autores rumanos que debido a factores políticos tuvieron que buscar otros lugares donde poder expresarse en libertad. Ellos escogieron España como lugar para escribir y para vivir. No olvidaron los valores de su país e intentaron estar en relación con éste, aunque sólo a través de la escritura, que se convirtió en único testigo de sus sufrimientos, por lo tanto se transformó en los únicos pilares del ser escindido, roto y fragmentarios que es el exiliado.
La tesis está dividida en tres capítulos. En el primer capítulo se realiza primero una radiografía del fenómeno, de los planteamientos filosóficos y antropológicos sobre el extranjero, segundo la relación entre éste y el concepto de alteridad, y tercero se observa la imagen y el tratamiento del foráneo en las dos culturas. El segundo capítulo trata el problema del exilio y subraya el desarrollo de éste en concepto literario. También traza las líneas del exilio rumano evidenciando, asimismo, el destierro español. El tercer capítulo marca el área del estudio, es decir el caso de los tres autores exiliados en España y la influencia del destierro en la escritura de estos tres poetas.
En este trabajo las teorías sobre el exilio intentan abarcar diversas líneas del tema. Se presenta el destierro desde varios puntos de vista para finalizar con el tratamiento literario del problema y sus variadas implicaciones.
Este tema ha sido desarrollado desde una perspectiva global con el objeto de dejar abierta una brecha en el amplio ámbito de la literatura de exilio. Las investigaciones futuras podrán descubrir, profundizar y analizar a los escritores exiliados desde otro punto de vista, igual de pertinente y necesario en la reconstrucción de la literatura de exilio en general y de la rumana en particular.In this paper I approach the theme of the foreigner from the point of view of the exiled. The nucleus of the paper is constituted by the work of some Romanian writers, which due to political factors had to look for other places where they could express themselves in freedom. These have chosen Spain to live and write. Nevertheless they did not forget the values of their country and constantly tried to maintain the relationship with it, even though only through writing, that become the only witness of their sufferings, so it become the only pillar of the divided, broken and fragmental being that it is the exiled.În această lucrare abordez tema străinului din punctul de vedere al exilatului. Nucleul lucrării îl constituie opera literară a unor scriitori români ce datorită unor factori politici au trebui să caute alte locuri pentru a se putea exprima în libertate. Aceștia au ales Spania ca loc pentru a scrie și pentru a trăi. Cu toate acestea, ei nu au uitat valorile țării din care au plecat și au încercat să mențină relația cu acesta, chiar și numai prin scriitură, ce s-a transformat în singurul martor al suferințelor, prin urmare s-a transformat în singurul pilar al ființei scindate, rupte și fragmentare ce este exilatul
The Return of the Author
No full textThis article will discuss Întoarcerea Autorului (The Return of the Author), published for the first time in Communist Romania in 1981, and, after 1990, in France and the United States, republished in post-Communist Romania in 1993, 2005, and 2013, the fourth edition. The article will try to follow the historical and cultural background for the volume and its subsequent editions to answer the question who is the author of the “return of the author”? I will point to the implicit and explicit dialogue of the 1981 book with other books dealing with the same topic and perceive their coincidences – with reference to Sean Burke, Dominique Maingueneau, Antoine Compagnon and Valentine Cunningham. I will focus on one of the most important and daring ideas of this book (which can be retraced afterwards, in Reading after Theory by Cunningham): those critics who proclaim the death of the author have proved to be the most authorial and authoritarian of all. Within the broader context of author studies, I will outline the characteristic features of the 1981 book and the actuality of Simion’s critical position
Pandemicfridge: Collaboration at a Distance
No full textThe Covid-19 pandemic affected all aspects of contemporary life, from how we work to how we shop, travel, and eat. Previously banal activities such as going to the grocery store became challenging and anxiety-inducing, with a new level of danger associated with leaving one’s home. To document and respond to this global experience, Jennifer Scheuer, assistant professor in printmaking at Purdue University, and I began collaborating on a series of collages titled #PandemicFridge. The project investigates the idea of care, nourishment and sustainability through the motif of the fridge, both literal and metaphorical. Our practice emerged from the pandemic and is indelibly marked by it: the new ways of working we have developed are informed by this experience as we were forced to find workarounds and new avenues to pursue our workThis article is published as Iancu, R., #PandemicFridge: Collaboration at a Distance and the title of the journal is IMPACT Printmaking Journal.; https://impact-journal-cfpr.uwe.ac.uk/index.php/impact/article/view/110/117.

Macbeth y la destrucción del tiempo como motivo literario
No full textThe article intends to describe and analyse the different moments that time goes through in Macbeth, to argue that its destruction and enigmatic restoration respond to the endeavour that Macbeth pursues with the acceleration of the events predicted by ‘the weird sisters’, and thus structures one of the most important literary motifs of the play. To do this, the paper reconstructs, first of all, the general features that make time an authentic literary motif within the Shakespearian play. Furthermore, it identifies the temporal evocations that are evident in Duncan, Lady Macbeth and Macbeth. Finally, it details the process by which Macbeth manages to destroy or suspend time. This allows the authors to analyse some of the literary and intellectual concerns that Shakespeare could have pursued.El artículo se propone analizar los diferentes momentos que atraviesa el tiempo en Macbeth, para argumentar que su destrucción y enigmática restauración responden a la empresa que persigue Macbeth con el aceleramiento de los eventos pronosticados por las hermanas extrañas, y conforman de este modo uno de los motivos literarios más importantes de la obra. Para ello, el trabajo reconstruye, en primer lugar, los rasgos generales que hacen al tiempo un auténtico motivo literario dentro de la obra shakesperiana; luego identifica las evocaciones temporales que descansan en Duncan, Lady Macbeth y Macbeth mismo; y, finalmente, detalla el proceso por medio del cual Macbeth logra destruir o suspender el tiempo, permitiéndole a los autores analizar algunas de las inquietudes literarias e intelectuales que Shakespeare podría haber perseguido con ello
A New Old Community: Development of 'local community' centers with new culinary-related functions to address current needs of the Belgrade's population
No full textAs a result of urbanization and modernization processes, a significant component of Balkan culture relating to culinary habits and traditions is slowly being lost in urban areas, despite being highly valued by city dwellers. In the specific context of Belgrade, this graduation project investigates how the existing typology of 'local community' centers can be re-imagined with new food-related functions that would not only revitalize the existing modernist structures of these buildings (currently in disrepair), but also introduce new cultural value to their surrounding neighborhoods.The principal method used in the design process is a two-step typological transference. The first step showcases the revitalization of an existing 'local community' center in the area of New Belgrade. The second step uses the lessons learned in the previous phase for the design of a new community center in the area of Old Belgrade, which is currently lacking such facilities. Both these steps are meant to act as examples and guidelines for the revitalization of the existing centers and the design of new ones, respectively. The potential end result would be a new re-imagined network of 'local community' centers for the city of Belgrade, focused on culinary-related and social activities, which would create a new image for the cultural and architectural character of the city's neighborhoods.Architecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences | Building Technolog
Agent-based Safety Modelling and Simulation of Controlling Two Airports from One Remote Tower
No full textRemote tower allows the provision of air traffic control to one or more aerodromes from a location that is different than the local tower. As such, the air traffic controller or flight information officer is not required to be in the physical aerodrome tower anymore. There are three types of remote tower operations. First, single remote tower is providing remote tower service to one aerodrome. Second, contingency remote tower is providing only continency air traffic control. Third, multiple remote tower is providing remote tower service to two or more aerodromes. Single remote tower and contingency remote tower have been validated and are currently operational. Multiple remote tower is not operational, therefore a topic of research regarding its feasibility. Currently, there is no available model looking into multiple remote tower operations. Developing an agent-based model can provide additional insight into the feasibility of this new concept of air traffic operations. It can be also be utilised in safety cases to assess the safety level of multiple remote tower operations. The focus of the MSc. Thesis is to develop an agent-based model for the evaluation of multiple remote tower.Aerospace Engineerin
