Despite the year in which O contentamento dos pretos was published – 1787 – it is likely that the anonymous author wrote the play and set its action more than a decade earlier, and attempted to guide the views of readers of that previous period regarding ongoing debates over slavery in Portugal. More specifically, the author argues that O Contentamento dos pretos makes the case for a substantially qualified version of abolition to circa-1770 readers. This play additionally gives us insight into the hearts and minds of the population at the time, and helps us to understand how eighteenth-century Portuguese chapbook theatre sometimes functioned as a vehicle through which to promote positions on contentious social issues.","PeriodicalId":368702,"journal":{"name":"The Bulletin of Hispanic Studies","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130064181","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}

Further, it also analyses the socio-historic implications of this citation/incorporation or problematic 'shadow', the dialectic and ambiguities of sacrifice and transcendence in the double context of the film's post-Civil War setting, and its construction and release in the 1970s during the Franco regime.","PeriodicalId":368702,"journal":{"name":"The Bulletin of Hispanic Studies","volume":"15 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114051581","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}

El texto fue reimpreso en varias ocasiones y fue recibido con mucha admiración y, a su vez, con cierto rechazo. Sus detractores lo acusaron de haber utilizado el Evangelio y la vida de Cristo para llevar a cabo una sátira oculta contra la monarquía española. Ello resulta muy probable, y los ataques a Felipe IV y el Conde-Duque de Olivares se hicieron aún más consistentes en la segunda parte de la Política, que se compuso probablemente tras 1636. El texto fue posteriormente revisado y ampliado, pero se publicó sólo en 1655, años después de la muerte de Quevedo (1645).

The editorial success the Galateo español (c. 1582) enjoyed can be attributed to Gracián Dantisco's keen sensitivity to the social, cultural and consumer demands of his age. Those needs and demands are best evidenced by analysing three interrelated topics: the influence of the court, the significance of a consumer audience and the rise in popularity of prose fiction. In transforming the Galateo into the Galateo español Gracián Dantisco put into practice the basic strategy of pragmatic accommodation to the wishes and tastes of others that Della Casa's treatise aimed to teach. The accommodation to consumer audience needs ensures and explains the success of the Galateo español in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Spain.","PeriodicalId":368702,"journal":{"name":"The Bulletin of Hispanic Studies","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121723852","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}

I contend that the presentation of space – this understudied 'other' with regard to time in criticism of Borges – is a major aspect of the self-referential questioning at stake in his work. The descriptions of changeable places, or the blurring of binary oppositions such as the distinction of a stage versus an audience, highlight this questioning of habitual practices of writing and reading space in the literary medium. Similarly, Bertolucci, in his movie inspired by Borges' short story, presents a plurality of puzzling stages, distortions of spatial differentiations and metafilmic commentaries on the medium's techniques and effects of staging and, therefore, draws attention to the challenges of cinematographic (re)presentation.","PeriodicalId":368702,"journal":{"name":"The Bulletin of Hispanic Studies","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123720309","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}

Working from the premise that in a patriarchal society typically women do not see but are seen, this study analyses the 'dislocation' of the visionary women in these novels as women who see within a male-dominated society and challenge received social boundaries and values. Through close readings of the texts, the article argues that both Blimunda in Memorial do Convento and Lillias Fraser in Hélia Correia's novel defy the dominant patriarchal mode of seeing and create for themselves an autonomous subject-position. Thus, both novels present an imaginative re-vision of history, foregrounding the experience of extraordinary visionary women.","PeriodicalId":368702,"journal":{"name":"The Bulletin of Hispanic Studies","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115855295","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}

Si el Lope de la primera época, a través de las máscaras que le representan, exhibe con orgullo su existencia literaturizada - hasta en su faceta burlesca - poniéndola al servicio de sus ambiciones palaciegas, el Lope maduro multiplica sus dobles, mostrándose hasta dispuesto a renegar de su mito lírico.

In that first section comparisons are also made with other Restoration novelists - notably Emilia Pardo Bazán - and their attitudes to illustrated editions. The second section conducts a detailed analysis of how the illustrations might be read alongside the text. That analysis serves to show what an attentive reader of the text Llimona, in particular, was and how much the illustrations reinforce and heighten moments of pathos, irony or humour in the novel.","PeriodicalId":368702,"journal":{"name":"The Bulletin of Hispanic Studies","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-10-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126328269","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}
