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
Una tristeza fiel
No full textUna tristeza fiel es un cortometraje sobre las distintas formas de recordar, conectando la
tecnología y los procesos emotivos. El director revisita un espacio cargado emocionalmente:
la habitación en que vivió sus primeros 12 años de vida junto a su familia, donde emprende
un viaje interior para intentar recuperar sus memorias incompletas. La técnica de la
fotogrametría evidenciará la imposibilidad de reconstruir completamente los recuerdos,
sirviendo para explorar las distorsiones y grietas de las tecnologías, así como también de la
memoria.Versión original del auto

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

Isabel Clara Eugenia: ¿una infanta castellana?
No full text[Resumen] Aunque la historiografía siempre ha mostrado la imagen de Isabel Clara Eugenia como hija fiel y obediente de Felipe II, la evolución ideológica y religiosa de la Infanta muestra las profundas divergencias que existieron con su progenitor. Educada en la defensa de los intereses castellanos y en una rígida espiritualidad formalista, Isabel evolucionó hacia la espiritualidad radical, definida por Roma, y opuesta a la establecida por su padre. La asimilación de la ideología romana fue tan intensa que, cuando quedó viuda, tomó el hábito de la orden tercera. Este acercamiento se tradujo, incluso, en gobernar (a veces) más desde los intereses de Roma que desde la Monarquía a la que representaba. La evolución de la vida de Isabel Clara Eugenia, fue paralela a la evolución que experimentó al Monarquía hispana: construida sobre el modelo de Monarquía Universal pasó a convertirse en la Monarquía Católica.[Abstract] Despite Isabella Clara Eugenia has always been characterized by historiography as the faithful and obedient daughter of Philip II, her ideological and religious evolution shows us the deep divergences that she had with her father. Although she was educated in the idea of the defence of the castilian interests, based in a rigid formalist spirituality, Isabella evolved to a radical spirituality, defined by the Holy See and opposite to her father´s one. Her assimilation of the roman ideology was as intense that, when she became widow, she took the habit of the third order (Orden tercera). This rapprochement made that she governed (most of the times) closely to the Pope´s interests than to the ones of the Spanish monarchy that she represented. Thus, her lifetime evolution was parallel to the one that the own Spanish monarchy suffered: built under the model of a Monarchia Universalis, it finally passed to be a Catholic Monarchy

Winter Love, by Isabel Herguera
No full text[EN] Isabel Herguera is a visual artist, Basque by birth and cosmopolitan by experiential evolution. Her birthplace gives her a trace of identity, of the rooted people, and of the female who knows her position and placement in the world. Her look has been enriched in each of her trips, loaded with personal and professional experiences, which she has managed to unite and distill through animation to get always a different product, with its own flavor, yet combining her creative role with other tasks like managing festivals and teaching. Her latest short, Winter Love, is also a story about ties, where two people from different worlds meet in a place transformed through emotion and nostalgic memory of what it used to be. A short film where Isabel — as Marta, the protagonist of the film— is true to her destination: art, life and her freedom to love.[ES] Isabel Herguera es una artista audiovisual, vasca de nacimiento y cosmopolita por evolución vivencial. Su lugar de nacimiento le confiere una huella de identidad, de pueblo enraizado, y de femenino que sabe de su posición y colocación en el mundo. Mirada que ha enriqueciendo en cada uno de sus viajes, cargados de experiencias personales y profesionales, que ha sabido aglutinar y destilar animando y obtener siempre, un producto diferente, con aroma propio, combinando su faceta de creadora con la dirección de festivales y la docencia. Su último corto, Amore d’ inverno, es una historia también de vínculos, en la que dos personas de mundos diferentes se encuentran, en un espacio que se transforma con la emoción y el recuerdo nostálgico de lo que fue. Corto en el que Isabel como la protagonista del filme, Marta, es fiel a su destino: el arte, la vida y su libertad de amar.Garcia Rams, MS. (2015). Amore d’invierno, de Isabel Herguera.
