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

Manabí: La Esperanza, secondary wet forest, 0°22´30.2¨ S 79 ° 36´19.2¨ W, 200 m, 21 February 2020, Cornejo & Loor 9320 (holotype GUAY, isotype QCA). Species insignis ab omnibus speciebus notis generis fructibus grandioribus et seminibus multicostatus differt. Tree, 8–30 m tall, to 80 cm in diameter at breast height, glabrous; inner bark red, outer bark richly lenticellate, gray with irregular white spots; old twigs cylindrical, blackened (dry); young twigs slightly flattened, grayish (dry), densely lenticellate, lenticels whitish and prominent. Leaves alternate, distichous; stipules not seen, early caducous; petiole ca. 5 mm long, slightly flattened, drying black; blades 7–14 × 4–6 cm, elliptic to obovate, chartaceous, base cuneate to obtuse, margin entire, flat, apex acute to obtuse, acuminate, glabrous, drying brown on both faces; venation brochidodromous, primary vein plane on the adaxial face, slightly prominent at the base, raised slightly on the abaxial face, secondary veins 7–9 pairs, darker on the adaxial face, slightly raised or impressed on the abaxial face. Inflorescences fasciculate, simple, axillary, multi-flowered; pedicels ca. 7–8 mm long, cylindrical; bracteoles acute, 2 mm long, margin irregular. Flowers 5-merous, prefloration imbricate, in one row with the margins of one petal overlapping two other petals, three petals with one margin external and the other internal, and one petal with both margins completely internal; calyx gamosepalous at base, lobes ca. 1 × 0.8 mm, green, ovate to deltoid, margin sparsely ciliate, blackened; corolla dialypetalous; petals 2–3 × 1 mm, light-green, ovate, broadly divergent to subpatent at anthesis, apex obtuse to rounded, margin membranous, hyaline, slightly undulate; stamens 5, alternate with petals, 1–1.5 mm long, filaments flattened, broadened at base, attenuate at apex, inserted on the margin of the disk, erect and becoming reflexive at anthesis; anthers ovoid, brown when mature, dorsifixed, dehiscing longitudinally; disk intrastaminal, 2 mm in diam., pentagonal, green, blackened when dry, margin slightly undulate; gynoecium 2-carpellate, ovary fused to disk, style evident, stigma simple. Fruit a loculicidal capsule, 25–35 × 18–25 mm, obovoid to narrowly-obovoid or ovate, base cuneate to narrowly-cuneate, apex rounded, style not persistent, pericarp coriaceous, ca. 0.8–1.2 mm thick, green when unripe, light-green to yellowish when ripe and brown when dry, opening by 2 valves; seeds 1–2(–3), 1.8–2.5 × 1.0– 1.5 mm, oblong to ellipsoid, ridged, with 6–14 conspicuous ridges, evenly arranged in the longitudinal, completely surrounded by a sweet white aril, maturing brown to black, glossy when dry. Phenology. Flowering in February; fruiting in February to May. Etymology. The specific epithet of this species is a reference to the uncommon morphology of the seeds, with multiple longitudinal ridges, a unique feature among the known species of the genus. Distribution and habitat. Monteverdia multicostata occurs in the lowland wet forests of Manabí and Esmeraldas provinces, in northwestern Ecuador from 200 to 600 m in elevation. Vernacular name: Carne de pardis (tinamou) (Clark 4848) Biological interactions and uses. The sweet aril is eaten by: humans, howler monkeys, Alouatta palliata; spider monkeys, Ateles fusciceps; machín, Cebus capuchinus; cusumbo, Potos flavus; and large birds such as toucans (Rhamphastidae) from the type locality (Anelio Loor pers. comm.). The recorded vernacular name (op. cit.) suggests that the aril of fruits is also eaten by tinamou (Tinamus sp.). Conservation status. The conservation status of Endangered is recommended for Monteverdia multicostata, based on the IUCN (2012) criteria (EN B 1ab[iii]). Ongoing deforestation in northwestern Ecuador is leading to fragmentation and degradation of habitat with small forest patches becoming extinct. Monteverdia multicostata has not been recorded within the National System of Protected Areas of the country (PANE). Notes. The new species is easily characterized by the multi-ridged seeds. This feature is unique within all known species of Monteverdia, with all other known species possessing smooth to slightly rugose seeds. The large fruits are also distinct. Only one other species in the genus, M. fugax (Biral & Lombardi 2016: 99) Biral in Biral et al. (2017: 688), has fruits of similarly large dimensions, however, M. fugax is endemic to the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest and produces reduced cymes, rather than the fasciculate inflorescences found in most Monteverdia species.

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
