{"title":"From Garcilaso to Argensola: The Cosmos Reordered","authors":"Howard B. Wescott","doi":"10.5325/CALIOPE.10.1.0055","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5325/CALIOPE.10.1.0055","url":null,"abstract":"Few exercises illustrate the shattering of imperial aristocratic confidence brought on by the scientific revolution of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries so well as a comparison between Garcilaso de la Vega’s eclogues, and the sonnet “A una muger que se afeitaba y estaba hermosa,” attributed to one of the Argensola brothers, usually Lupercio. Taken together these two works reveal clearly the trust in a vision of a well-ordered cosmos that unified Garcilaso’s world, and the extent to which the Baroque aesthetic reflects a cosmic vision founded on ideas of deceit and deception. Two Italians, Castiglione and Galileo, play important roles in this transition and this study seeks also to illuminate their influence on the course of Spanish poetry in the Siglo de Oro. Until the last two decades of the twentieth century many Garcilaso interpreters read his works, especially the eclogues, as poemes a clef, autobiography disguised in pastoral dress. Most recently this problem, which is also one of “sincerity,” has been discussed clearly and thoroughly by Daniel Heiple, who locates the poetic yo in a Petrarchan rhetoric of emotion rather than in the person of the poet (3-27). In spite of dedicating his attention primarily to Garcilaso’s sonnets, Heiple observes of the eclogues, “Garcilaso’s late poems show a self-awareness of style and a conscious distancing of the authorial voice . . . the poet consciously removes the poetic voice from the person who suffers to that of a disinterested narrator” (23).","PeriodicalId":29842,"journal":{"name":"Caliope-Journal of the Society for Renaissance and Baroque Hispanic Poetry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2017-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81862885","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nelson","doi":"10.5325/CALIOPE.11.2.0111","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5325/CALIOPE.11.2.0111","url":null,"abstract":"A s is the case with many undergraduate Spanish programs, the teaching of Golden Age poetry at Concordia University is combined with that of Golden Age theater. Although this arrangement severely limits what one can do with either of these significant and vast cultural phenomena, the traditional rationale for this type of program is solid, as the concentrated study of poetic forms, themes, imagery, and topics in the more manageable texts of sonnets and canciones prepares students for the formal, conceptual, and intertextual complexities that make Renaissance and Baroque drama so endlessly challenging. The purpose of this paper, however, is to describe what can happen when one inverts the terms of this relationship and focuses on the theatricality of Golden Age poetry rather than the lyricism of Golden Age theater. Theatricality, of course, is a very complex concept which has produced a quiet unmanageable theoretical and critical corpus; so for this course I settled on four distinct yet interrelated approaches to theatricality which were introduced throughout the thirteen-week semester.1 My goal was to construct a series of dialogues between Renaissance poesia cancioneril and the theater of Encina, the mystical eroticism of Juan de la Cruz and the marketplace humor of Lope de Rueda, the political wit of Gracian, and the political allegories of Calderon, and so on. I began the course with a consideration of the cancionero movement of the early Renaissance. Not only is this witty and enigmatic theatrical in its ritualistic, competitive, and performative aspects, but the central role played by the Spanish nobility in this courtly movement makes the cancionero a compelling stage on which the social, political, religious, and artistic transformations and conflicts of the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance may be played out for students. What was perceived in the Middle Ages as the nobility’s inalienable moral and social superiority, a superiority based, in turn, on a universalizing, cosmological Chain of Being, in the Renaissance becomes theatrical;","PeriodicalId":29842,"journal":{"name":"Caliope-Journal of the Society for Renaissance and Baroque Hispanic Poetry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2017-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78835721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In his artwork depicting the sacrifice of Iphigenia, Timanthes concealed the face of the victim’s father, Agamemnon, with a hood. Unfortunately, the complex representation of jealousy in the poem and its relation to Renaissance art theory has also remained covered up. However, recent studies by Steven Wagschal and Javier Lorenzo help to foreground and examine these and other significant aspects of “Capitulo,” such as self-representation and ekphrasis. Drawing additionally on Wayne Rebhorn’s study of Il Cortegiano, this study explores how the poem portrays the myth of Iphigenia in a visually oriented way evocative of precepts expressed by the fifteenth-century Italian art theorist Leon Battista Alberti. I contend that this descriptive strategy produces an emotionally compelling and sympathetic portrait of the lyric voice stricken with jealousy that reflects ideas articulated in Castilgione’s famous treatise. Finally, this reading argues that, despite explicit claims otherwise, “Capitulo” does ironically put a face on jealousy by appealing to the rhetorical device of occultatio. Consisting of 385 lines of terza rima, “Capitulo” expresses the laments of a lover who describes to his beloved the suffering caused by unreciprocated attention and affection. Yet when, after describing a variety of emotions in detail, the uniquely painful experience of jealousy arises, the poetic voice claims only to be able to approximate the effects of such an emotion by analogy.

But the importance of the sonnet for Lope, witnessed by its publication on three separate occasions, invites a re-reading of the sonnet and its commentary as more than mere posturing against the vogue of gongorism. A closer analysis of the content of Lope’s commentary points to a personal, pyscho-erotic stake veiled in the language of Neoplatonism and the underlying scholastistic conceptions of amor and eros, relying not only on the Heptaplus of Pico della Mirandola but more significantly on Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite and Ficino’s translations of Plato.","PeriodicalId":29842,"journal":{"name":"Caliope-Journal of the Society for Renaissance and Baroque Hispanic Poetry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2017-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84001702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aunque tal identidad no suponia necesariamente que fuera criptojudio o, en el vocabulario de la Inquisicion, judaizante, el ser judeo-converso influyo profundamente en el curso de su vida y el contenido de sus escritos. Nacido en Cuenca en 1600 o 1601, Enriquez Gomez trabajo como comerciante de telas en una carrera con varios altibajos; se caso con una cristiana vieja, una mujer cuya etnia estaba libre de las manchas de sangre judia o mora; vio la detencion inquisitorial de su padre por herejia judaizante y la confiscacion subsecuente de los bienes familiares; se exilio a Francia por 14 anos, aunque no por motivos religiosos; regreso a Espana, donde vivio en Sevilla bajo varios seudonimos; y en 1660 fue detenido alli por la Inquisicion, en cuya carcel murio en 1663.1 La inestabilidad e inquietud que caracterizaron estas y otras experiencias explican por que sus textos estan poblados, en unos casos, por peregrinos que viajan de lugar a lugar lamentando los vicios de mundos alegoricos y, en otros, por personajes historicos y biblicos que encarnan la virtud y la fidelidad a la conciencia personal contra la intolerancia y la injusticia. Tanto el aspecto autobiografico de los escritos de Enriquez Gomez como su copiosidad y calidad abren una ventana a la cosmovision de alguien que simultaneamente estaba adentro y afuera, luchando por conseguir un espacio en la escena literaria espanola de mediados del siglo XVII.

Pérez","doi":"10.5325/CALIOPE.9.1.0005","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5325/CALIOPE.9.1.0005","url":null,"abstract":"No ha sido el siglo XX el mejor de los tiempos para el estudio de los generos literarios. Primero, las corrientes idealistas y formalistas, con el estudio de la obra en si, prescindieron de las relaciones entre los textos. Despues de la semiotica, las corrientes postestructuralistas volvieron a cuestionar las perspectivas sistematicas, hasta alcanzar el paroxismo de la desconstruccion. En el transito al siglo XXI el debate sobre el canon, al situarse en este horizonte, ha acabado remitiendo a la subjetividad del gusto privilegiado cualquier principio de ordenacion. A la dificultad metodologica se suma en el caso de la aproximacion critica a los generos liricos en el periodo aureo1 la inherente al propio objeto de estudio, toda vez que en el discurso clasicista carece de operatividad (y aun de existencia) la nocion de genero, como evidencian los estruendosos silencios de las preceptivas. De manera radical, la ausencia procede de la inexistencia misma de la “literatura”2, concepto historico moderno y vinculado al romanticismo, frente al que solo hallamos las nociones de poetica y retorica, a las que paulatinamente se suman las reglas de la metrica3. Del conjunto brotan unos elementos de codificacion de caracter externo y aprioristico respecto a la propia escritura, sometida a un persistente principio de imitacion en cuyo dominio se consagran (como canonicos y como elementos de modelizacion) los auctores. Convertidos estos en verdaderos dechados, no podemos, sin embargo, identificarlos estrictamente con moldes genericos, si atendemos a la moderna nocion de genero, con su dinamica y su sentido dialectico, frente a la concepcion clasica de la formalizacion textual o, por mejor decir, discursiva. En ese sentido clasico y clasicista de la fabula y de la oratio no falta, como es sabido, el concepto de genus, pero su operatividad es reducida a un sentido retorico, cruzado ademas con nociones como la de estilo y manera, en lo que pesa tanto la herencia medieval4 como la raiz aristotelica. De la logica del Estagirita procede la distincion entre genero y especie, base de toda la clasificacion y definicion ontologicas, todavia aplicadas por Cascales a la jerarquizacion de las formas5, y, sobre todo, en su fragmentaria Poetica y su silencio al respecto arraiga el","PeriodicalId":29842,"journal":{"name":"Caliope-Journal of the Society for Renaissance and Baroque Hispanic Poetry","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2017-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86645480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
