The \u27Tragic Mulatta\u27 Revisited: Race and Nationalism in Nineteenth-Century Antislavery Fiction
No full textThis very sophisticated book is distinguished by taking the figure of the tragic mulatta seriously as an embodiment of central concerns about race and nation in the antebellum United States. -Michael Bennett, Long Island University, Brooklyn Since its inception, the United States has been intensely preoccupied with interracialism. The concept is embedded everywhere in our social and political fabric, including our sense of national identity. And yet, in both its quantitative and symbolic forms, interracialism remains an extremely elusive phenomenon, causing policy makers and census boards to wrangle over how to delineate it and, on an emblematic level, stirring intense emotions from fear to fascination. In The Tragic Mulatta Revisited, Eve Allegra Raimon focuses on the mixed-race female slave in literature, arguing that this figure became a symbolic vehicle for explorations of race and nation-both of which were in crisis in the mid-nineteenth century. At this time, judicial, statutory, social, and scientific debates about the meaning of racial difference (and intermixture) coincided with disputes over frontier expansion, which were never merely about land acquisition but also literally about the complexion of that frontier. Embodying both northern and southern ideologies, the amalgamated mulatta, the author argues, can be viewed as quintessentially American, a precursor to contemporary motifs of hybrid and mestizo identities. Where others have focused on the gendered and racially abject position of the tragic mulatta, Raimon reconsiders texts by such central antislavery writers as Lydia Maria Child, William Wells Brown, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Harriet Wilson to suggest that the figure is more usefully examined as a way of understanding the volatile and shifting interface of race and national identity in the antebellum period. Eve Allegra Raimon is an associate professor of arts and humanities at the University of Southern Maine, Lewiston-Auburn College.https://digitalcommons.usm.maine.edu/facbooks/1111/thumbnail.jp
De l'écologie à l'écosophie : l'intuition de Raimon Panikkar
No full textThe environmental crisis has disrupted the lives and activities of man. The ecological movement has proposed solutions to the problems we face, but it always uses the same Logos that got us into these difficulties. Theology, however has focused on this question only recently. It answered to criticisms with a renewed theology of creation. Our author of interest, Raimon Panikkar, proposes to complement this approach with a new Trinitarian theology. What he called the “cosmotheandric intuition” establishes a constitutive close relationship between God, man and the cosmos. This intuition means paying special attention to wisdom. It is therefore urgent that ecology walks hand in hand with ecosophy. To this end, mankind ought to cultivates the virtues that will allow it to reconnect with the others dimensions of reality. This new approach has two fondamental corollaries : an ecosophical ethics and a ecosophical political theology, that we intend to develop in order to prolong on Panikkar’s thought.La crise environnementale a bouleversé la vie de l’homme et toutes ses activités. L’écologie a essayé de trouver des solutions aux problèmes qui nous assaillent, mais elle reste toujours dans le même logos qui nous a mis dans ces difficultés. La théologie, quant-à elle, s’est intéressée depuis peu de temps à cette question. Elle a répondu aux reproches qui lui ont été adressés avec une théologie renouvelée de la création. Notre auteur, Raimon Panikkar, propose de compléter cette approche avec une nouvelle théologie trinitaire. C’est ce qu’il a appelé l’« intuition cosmothéandrique » qui établit une relation étroite et constitutive entre Dieu, l’homme et le cosmos. Cette intuition implique de prêter une attention particulière à la sagesse. Il s’avère donc urgent que l’écologie chemine de pair avec l’écosophie. Dans ce but, il conviendrait que l’homme cultive les vertus qui lui permettront de retrouver son lien avec les autres dimensions de la réalité. Cette nouvelle approche a deux corollaires fondamentaux : une éthique et une théologie politique écosophiques, que nous nous proposons de développer pour prolonger la pensée de Panikkar

Ecosofía: hacia una comprensión de la sabiduría de la tierra desde la noción de "ritmo del ser" de Raimon Pannikar
No full textEl presente artículo expone algunas ideas relevantes de la noción de ecosofía de Raimon Panikkar y con ello profundiza en la sabiduría del oikos. Se pretende destacar la originalidad del planteamiento ecosófico de Panikkar, cuyo pensamiento es fruto de un fecundo diálogo interculturalinterreligioso (hinduismo, cristianismo y budismo). Si bien el autor no desarrolló de forma sistemática la noción ecosofía, su ontología de madurez, expresada en la noción del ritmo del ser, nos puede aproximar a comprender de manera novedosa esta sabiduría que se manifiesta en un llegar a ser donde participan lo divino, lo humano y lo cósmico. Se expondrá que la noción de ecosofía nos asienta en la vida contemplativa y la sabiduría de la inter-in-dependenciaThis article presents important ideas in Raimon Panikkar's notion of ecosophy, thus entering more deeply into the wisdom of the oikos. The aim is to highlight the originality of our author's ecosophical proposal, fruit of a fertile intercultural and inter-religious dialogue (Hinduism, Christianity and Buddhism). Although the author did not develop systematically the notion of ecosophy, the ontology of his mature years, expressed in the notion of the rhythm of being, can bring us closer to a new understanding of this wisdom, manifested in a becoming in which the divine, the human and the cosmic each have a part. The article will show that Panikkar's notion of ecosophy sets us in the contemplative life and the wisdom of interindependenc

El lèxic tècnic a la traducció catalana de l?Opus agriculturae de Pal·ladi : una aproximació als llibres de 'grammàtica' i 'medicina'
No full textIn 1385 Ferrer Saiol, protonotary of Queen Eleanor of Sicily, translated into Catalan Palladius?s Opus Agriculturae (?The Work on Farming?). This Latin work was widely known throughout the whole of the Middle Ages, and therefore a translation of Opus Agriculturae was wanted in the fourteenth-century's Kingdom of Aragon. A difficult aspect of Opus Agriculturae is its technical vocabulary. Being aware of it, Ferrer Saiol referred in his translation to his use of numerous reference books to undertake the best possible version. These medieval glossaries and vocabularies belong in his translation, explicitly as well as implicitly. We identify here books that Ferrer Saiol used for this version, like Papias?s Vocabularium, Johannes Balbus?s Catholicon, Simon of Genoa?s Clavis Sanationis and Ibn Wafid?s De Simplicibus Medicinis. These books are analysed here in order to understand its translating process. In addition, we aim to understand through medieval glossaries those passages whose scientific terms Saiol doesn?t correctly translate
Ferrer Saiol, traductor de Pal•ladi
No full textAquesta tesi té per objectiu analitzar i comprendre la capacitat de Ferrer Saiol com a traductor de l’Opus agriculturae de Pal•ladi. D’aquesta traducció, redactada pels volts del 1385, en conservem dos exemplars posteriors, un en català (València, Biblioteca Municipal Serrano Morales, 6437) i un en castellà (Madrid, Biblioteca Nacional de España, 10211), que ens ajuden a entendre fins a quin punt Saiol comprèn l’obra llatina i de quines fonts disposava per al seu treball. Dividim aquest estudi en tres seccions. La primera versa sobre la difusió de l’Opus agriculturae durant l’Edat Mitjana i el Primer Renaixement. Incloem la pervivència de l’obra pal•ladiana a la Corona d’Aragó i la traducció del protonotari Ferrer Saiol. En la segona secció analitzem els dos testimonis conservats i la seva filiació; examinem les fonts llatines emprades per Ferrer; i realitzem una anàlisi del tresor lexicogràfic, morfològic i sintàctic, nucli del nostre estudi. La tercera és una edició del llibre primer de l’Opus agriculturae en què incloem el text llatí canònic i les dues versions iberorromàniques.The aim of this thesis is to analyse and to understand Ferrer Saiol's skills as a translator of Palladius' Opus agriculturae. Only two manuscripts of this translation written around 1385 have reached us: one of them, in Catalan, (from Biblioteca Municipal Serrano Morales in Valencia, 6437) and the other one, in Spanish, (from Biblioteca Nacional de España in Madrid, 10211). Both texts help us to discern which Ferrer Saiol’s comprehension of the Latin work was and which sources were followed to make his translation. Our thesis is divided into three parts. The first one deals with Opus agriculturae’s dissemination during the Middle Ages and the First Renaissance. It also includes the presence to the Palladian work in the Kingdom of Aragon as well as Saiol’s translation. The second section analyses both preserved testimonies and their filiation by examining the Latin sources used by Ferrer and it studies their lexicographical, morphological and syntactic treasure, which is the core of our thesis. The third part consists of an edition of the Opus agriculturae first book, that includes the canonical Latin text and both Ibero-Romance versions
