    Casiodoro de Reina, hebraísta del siglo XVI: Red de conversos y la traducción de la Biblia

    No full text
    [spa] Casiodoro de Reina fue un personaje importante del movimiento protestante español del siglo XVI. Su nombre es bien conocido por ser el autor de la primera traducción de la Biblia completa al español, publicada en Basilea en 1569. Casiodoro de Reina fue un hombre de múltiples facetas: monje católico, predicador protestante, espía, comerciante de seda, traductor, biblista, impresor y editor de libros. Su influencia alcanza hasta el día de hoy el lenguaje bíblico y litúrgico de las iglesias protestantes de habla española. Casiodoro de Reina utilizó diversas fuentes en su traducción de la Biblia, entre las cuales se destacan la Biblia hebrea y la traducción latina de Sanctes Pagnino de la Biblia, que había sido editada por Miguel Servet en 1542. La sombra de Servet se cierne sobre la vida de Casiodoro, no solamente por las acusaciones que recibió de servetismo, sino también en su labor de traducción. Casiodoro de Reina fue apoyado financiera y logísticamente, tanto en su exilio como en su obra de traducción de la Biblia, por diversas familias de origen marrano, que formaron una red conversa en torno a su persona. Se ha especulado sobre su posible origen judío por sus estrechos vínculos con esta red de conversos, por su intención de llevar a cabo una nueva impresión del Talmud, así como por el vasto conocimiento bíblico que él mismo menciona y que dice haber recibido desde muy temprana edad. Será, asimismo, la primera persona que utilizará de forma continua el nombre Iehoua para referirse al nombre sagrado de Dios en toda su traducción del Antiguo Testamento, en la cual se hace patente, un profundo conocimiento de la lengua hebrea y de la literatura rabínica. El presente estudio se ha propuesto los siguientes objetivos: 1) Demostrar la influencia de Miguel Servet en la traducción de la Biblia de Casiodoro de Reina. 2) Demostrar la existencia de una nutrida red conversa en torno a la figura de Casiodoro de Reina. 3) Demostrar el origen judío de Casiodoro de Reina, así como el profundo conocimiento que de la lengua hebrea y de literatura rabínica tenía, hecho que queda patente ya en la misma portada de la Biblia, sobre la que hemos realizado un estudio en profundidad. 4) Mostrar que el uso del nombre Iehoua que Casiodoro de Reina utiliza en su traducción de la Biblia refleja la tradición de los judíos conversos de utilizar ese nombre para referirse al tetragrammaton. 5) Presentar un análisis de su traducción del libro de Eclesiastés como muestra de los amplios conocimientos bíblicos que poseía Casiodoro de Reina.[eng] Casiodoro de Reina was an important figure in the Spanish Protestant movement of the 16th century. His name is well known for being the author of the first translation of the complete Bible into Spanish, published in Basel in 1569. Casiodoro de Reina was a man of many facets: Catholic monk, Protestant preacher, spy, silk merchant, translator, Bible scholar, printer, and book publisher. His influence is still felt to this day in the biblical and liturgical language of the Spanish-speaking Protestant churches. Casiodoro de Reina used various sources in his translation of the Bible, among which stand out the Hebrew Bible and the Latin translation of Sanctes Pagnino de la Biblia, the later having been edited by Miguel Servetus in 1542. The shadow of Servetus hangs over the Casiodoro’s life, not only because of the accusations he received of Servetism, but also in his translation work. Casiodoro de Reina was supported financially and logistically, both in his exile and in his work of translating the Bible, by various families of Marrano origin, who formed a network of converts around him. There has been speculation about his possible Jewish origin due to his close links with this network, his intention to carry out a new printing of the Talmud, as well as the vast biblical knowledge that he himself mentions and that he claims to have received from a very early age. He was also the first person to continuously use the name Iehoua to refer to the sacred name of God in his entire translation of the Old Testament, demonstrating a profound knowledge of the Hebrew language and rabbinical literature. The present study proposes the following objectives: 1) Demonstrate the influence of Miguel Servetus in the translation of the Bible by Casiodoro de Reina. 2) Demonstrate the existence of a large network of converts around the figure of Casiodoro de Reina. 3) Demonstrate the Jewish origin of Casiodoro de Reina, as well as the profound knowledge that he had of the Hebrew language and rabbinical literature, a fact that is already evident in the very cover of the Bible, on which we have carried out an in-depth study. 4) Show that the use of the name Iehoua that Casiodoro de Reina uses in his translation of the Bible reflects the tradition of Jewish converts to use that name to refer to the tetragrammaton. 5) Present an analysis of his translation of the book of Ecclesiastes as a sample of the extensive biblical knowledge that Casiodoro de Reina possessed

    Dancing with Napster: Predictable consumer behavior in the New Digital Economy

    No full text
    The Internet is often characterized as a "disruptive technology," as recently argued by the music industry against Napster and by Sony against PC emulations of its PlayStation. Three questions are raised: 1) How much does the Internet replace traditional media? 2) As another information channel, does the Internet supplement traditional media? 3) How much do Internet users navigate the Web in order to download relevant information goods (news, music, movies) as part of their consumption and purchase strategies?Data from the Pew Internet and American Life Project are used to test two competing hypotheses: 1) Easily copied and distributed digital content encouragesconsumers to exploit the "information wants to be free" character of the Internet, thereby hampering the growth of the market for information goods and services, and 2)Information consumers practice a sophisticated arbitrage process across different media, by weighing the value of online and offline information and thereby reinforcing active participation in the electronic marketplace. The efforts of the music industry to obstruct the downloading of MP3s may represent a serious misunderstanding of consumer arbitrage practices, much as book publishers characterize library use as a threat to book sales. Policy implications of thiswork extend into ongoing public and corporate policy debates about digital content and intellectual property.The original publication is available at: http://www.stanford.edu/group/siqss/itandsociety/v01i02/v01i02a11.pd

    An event history analysis of time to degree completion

    No full text
    In an era of increasing demand for college, declining fiscal resources, and the rising costs of undergraduate education, student retention and graduation, especially timely graduation, are important issues facing American higher education today. As state and federal lawmakers, accrediting agencies, and governing bodies demand more accountability for retention and graduation rates from college and university administrators, it is important to develop a better understanding of college student graduation behavior at the institutional level. The study of college student retention and persistence to degree completion has been plagued with methodological problems and inconsistent findings, especially when the longitudinal nature of the process is considered. Event history analysis is a regression-like technique that allows researchers to investigate the timing of graduation while addressing many of the concerns associated with the longitudinal study of college graduation behavior, such as censored cases and time-varying variables. The present study used event history analysis to understand the temporal dimensions of graduation and the factors that affect whether students succeed or fail, particularly at the study institution. Pre-enrollment, enrollment, and financial aid variables were used to model the timing of graduation for three cohorts of first-time, full-time, degree-seeking undergraduate students for a six year period. Consistent with other studies employing event history analysis to student retention and degree completion, adding a time dimension improves our understanding of event occurrence. The present study also provides support for the strong relationship between the longitudinal effects of academic performance while in college (as measured by cumulative GPA) and graduation.Ph.

    Non-Violence or Violence ? Stratégie Alternatives for Radical Change in South Africa, by Reina R. Steenwijk This article discusses the options open to black South Africans in their struggle for liberation and especially the consequences of choosing the path of violence as against non-violence. Front a European viewpoint, South Africa seems already to be in the grip of violence, and the question should be asked as to the aims and effectiveness of this, which the ANC seeks to escalate. It can only degenerate into senseless and uncontrollable chain-reactions. The author considers that in spite of the présent situation, non violent options do have a role to play if catastrophe is to be avoided.Cet article traite des options dont disposent les Noirs sud-africains dans leur lutte de libération et plus spécifiquement des conséquences de la violence et de la non-violence. L'Europe voit l'Afrique du Sud embrasée par la violence, mais il faudrait s'interroger sur l'efficacité réelle de cette violence. Celle que l'ANC essaie actuellement de déclencher ne peut que dégénérer en un déchaînement incontrôlable. L'auteur considère que, même si aujourd'hui l'escalade de la violence se poursuit en Afrique du Sud, le rôle de la non-violence est vital pour l'avenir du pays. La non-violence pourrait fort bien permettre d'éviter une solution finale violente au problème sud-africain.Steenwijk Reina R.

    El artículo trata de la rocambolesca trayectoria vital de la célebre fotógrafa y apasionada luchadora Tina Modotti, transcurrida entre el continente americano y europeo durante los cruciales años veinte y treinta del siglo XX . Lo que se intenta hacer es sacar a la luz la labor realizada por Modotti en España durante la Guerra Civil, en cuanto momento más desconocido en las biografías a ella dedicadas. Modotti, compañera sentimental del comandante «Carlos J. Contreras», trabajó para el Socorro Rojo Internacional, desempeñando decisivas y peligrosas funciones como enfermera, a lado de Matilde Landa y también como periodista para la revista Ayuda. Entró así en contacto con varios exponentes de la cultura española y entre ellos con Miguel Hernández de cuyo libro, Viento del Pueblo fue promotora. Finalmente lo que se pretende es presentar la vida de Modotti desmitificándola y restituyéndole el papel que tuvo en España y en general en el ámbito del movimiento internacionalista.The article is about the interesting life of the famous photographer and revolutionary Tina Modotti who lived between the American and European continent during the crucial time of the twenties and thirties in the 20th century.

Modotti, the paramour of the commandant -Carlos J. Contreras», worked for the International Red Aid and carried out important and dangerous missions as a nurse alongside Matilde Landa, and also as a journalist for the journal Ayuda. In this way she carne into contad with many representative people of the Spanish culture, among them, Miguel Hernández who was a promoter of the publication Viento del pueblo. Finally, with this paper we would like to produce a demystified biography of Modotti in order to highlight the historie role that she truly played both in Spain as well as in tihe fíeld of the internationalist movement.Publicad
