In the itineraries of Pedro Polo in Tormento and Ramón de Villaamil in Miau, as well as the social milieu described by Rizal, Peninsular Spaniards who voyage to the Philippines are represented as the undesirable elements of the post-Gloriosa Spanish state. But by transporting problems to one of the farthest flung outposts of the Spanish Empire, Galdós and Rizal demonstrate that the remedy Spain has chosen for its social ills (like clerical obscurantism and patriarchal domination) allows it to avoid the necessary internal reform that would prevent these problems from developing in the first place. Though from very different positions within the nineteenth-century Spanish Empire, the two authors both diagnosed late colonialism as a malady that kept Spanish society moribund even as it offered the illusion of a continual first contact that would reinvigorate the sick nation.Resumen:Este artículo se centra en las Novelas españolas contemporáneas de Benito Pérez Galdós, así como las dos novelas completas de José Rizal y su retrato de Filipinas, como escape para el comportamiento antisocial que atentaba contra la modernización de la España peninsular. En los itinerarios de Pedro Polo en Tormento y Ramón de Villaamil en Miau, los peninsulares que viajan a Filipinas representan los elementos indeseables para el estado español después de la Gloriosa. Al desplazar los problemas hasta uno de los lugares más recónditos del imperio español, Galdós y Rizal demuestran que el remedio que España ha elegido para sus males sociales (como el oscurantismo clerical y la dominación patriarcal) le permite esquivar la reforma interna necesaria que evitaría que estos problemas se desarrollasen en primer lugar. Ambos autores, aunque desde posiciones muy distintas en el imperio español decimonónico, diagnosticaron el colonialismo tardío como una enfermedad que mantenía moribunda a la sociedad española, incluso cuando ofrecía la ilusión de un primer contacto iterable que revitalizaría a la nación enferma.","PeriodicalId":40152,"journal":{"name":"Anales Galdosianos","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41855980","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}

Vicente Suárez Casañ's El amor lesbio (1892), seemingly the lengthiest account on the topic of the time, insists on tying masculine lesbians, or marimachos, as he refers to them, to hermaphroditism. He also underscores the distinction between masculine and feminine lesbians, while revealing the persistent belief in spontaneous sex change and connections between lesbians and witches. While Eduardo López Bago's La Pálida (1884) and La monja (1886) reproduce long-standing beliefs that tie lesbianism to prostitution, hysteria, convents, and sorcery, the radical naturalist conspicuously shies away from the figure of the butch lesbian or \"female hermaphrodite.\" In contrast, Emilia Pardo Bazán features a masculine lesbian associated with witchcraft as the eponymous protagonist of her short story \"Afra\" (1894). And in 1901 she publishes the column, \"Sobre ascuas,\" about the first gay marriage in Spain between two women in A Coruña. Although most of these medical, literary, and journalistic discourses appear, in some way, to endorse heteronormativity and patriarchy by pathologizing female same-sex desire, they all simultaneously deconstruct arguments about the naturalness of universal heterosexuality.Resumen:Discusiones acerca de \"tribadas,\" \"viragines,\" \"marimachos,\" \"hermafroditas,\" \"mujeres hombrunas,\" y \"lesbias\" aparecen en las obras de destacados sexólogos decimonónicos. El amor lesbio (1892) de Vicente Suárez Casañ, que parece ser el escrito más largo acerca del tema en la época, insiste en conectar las lesbianas masculinas, o marimachos, como él las denomina, al hermafroditismo. También subraya la distinción entre las lesbianas masculinas y femeninas, al mismo tiempo que revela la creencia persistente en el cambio de sexo espontáneo y la conexión entre lesbianas y brujas. Aunque La Pálida (1884) y La monja (1886) de Eduardo López Bago reproducen creencias antiguas que vinculan el lesbianismo a la prostitución, la histeria, los conventos y la hechicería, el naturalista radical ignora de forma ostensible la figura de la lesbiana butch o de la \"hermafrodita femenina.\" En cambio, Emilia Pardo Bazán presenta a una lesbiana masculina asociada con la brujería como la protagonista homónima de su cuento \"Afra\" (1894). Y en 1901 escribe la columna, \"Sobre ascuas,\" sobre el primer matrimonio gay en España entre dos mujeres en A Coruña. Aunque la mayoría de estos discursos médicos, literarios y periodísticos parecen, de alguna manera, apoyar la heteronormatividad y el patriarcado al patologizar el deseo homoerótico femenino, simultáneamente desconstruyen argumentos acerca de la naturalidad de la heterosexualidad universal.","PeriodicalId":40152,"journal":{"name":"Anales Galdosianos","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47758857","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}

Published in the midst of the escalating conflict with the United States, Galdós's novel revisits the foundational crisis of the liberal nation state: the First Carlist War. Galdós embeds the reader in the Carlist army through the point of view of José Fago, a military chaplain who abandons ecclesiastical life to become a soldier in an attempt to imitate his hero, the famed General Zumalacárregui. The tension between Fago's vocation and his frustrated desire for military glory provokes a crisis of identity and masculinity, which reveals Fago's emotionality. Dierdra Reber has proposed that the dominant episteme of the modern age is based on feelings, rather than logic; the thinking head of the Cartesian episteme has been replaced by the body that \"thinks\" by feeling. This essay analyzes how Galdós critiques Carlism through Fago's affective understanding of the war and the Cause. Galdós portrays Fago as a subject suffering from the \"effects\" of Carlism, a system that causes \"malestar,\" both emotionally and physically, for its followers.Resumen:En 1898, Galdós inauguró la Tercera Serie de los Episodios Nacionales con la publicación de Zumalacárregui. Publicada durante la intensificación del conflicto con los Estados Unidos, la novela vuelve a la crisis fundacional del estado nacional liberal: la Primera Guerra Carlista. Galdós enclava al lector en el ejército carlista desde la perspectiva de José Fago, un capellán militar que abandona la vida eclesiástica para hacerse soldado en un intento de imitar a su héroe, el insigne General Zumalacárregui. La tensión entre la vocación y el deseo por la gloria militar le provoca una crisis de identidad y masculinidad y revela la sensibilidad de Fago. Dierdra Reber ha propuesto que la episteme dominante de la época moderna se basa no en la lógica, sino en las emociones; la cabeza pensadora del sistema cartesiano ha sido reemplazado por un cuerpo que \"piensa\" con los sentimientos. El presente ensayo analiza cómo Galdós critica el carlismo a través del entendimiento afectivo de Fago sobre la guerra y la Causa. Galdós retrata a Fago como un sujeto que sufre de los \"efectos\" del carlismo, un sistema que produce malestar, tanto emocional como físico, en sus seguidores.","PeriodicalId":40152,"journal":{"name":"Anales Galdosianos","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/ang.2020.0004","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46928885","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}

Labanyi","doi":"10.1353/ang.2020.0005","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/ang.2020.0005","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract:The nineteenth-century novel is generally seen as depicting the friction between the characters' inner desires and the demands of society. This supposes that nineteenth-century realism retains the view of emotions as the expression of the inner self that developed in the Romantic period. Taking Galdós's 1884 novel Tormento as a case study, I propose that the realist novel anticipates contemporary emotion theory in its understanding of the emotions as relational, while, in the case of Tormento, also looking back to earlier emotional regimes. This view of Tormento as an emotional palimpsest is argued by reference to the theorization of the emotions by Monique Scheer, Eva Illouz and Sara Ahmed.Resumen:La novela realista decimonónica suele ser interpretada como la representación del conflicto entre los deseos íntimos de los personajes y las exigencias de la sociedad, lo cual significaría que el realismo decimonónico se atiene a la idea, desarrollada en la época romántica, de que las emociones son la expresión del yo interior. Mediante la consideración de la novela galdosiana Tormento, de 1884, propongo que la novela realista anticipa la visión relacional de las emociones que ha sido elaborada por la teoría de las emociones en la actualidad. Al mismo tiempo, veremos cómo Tormento se hace eco de regímenes emocionales anteriores. El análisis del resultante palimpsesto emocional se basará en la teorización de las emociones de Monique Scheer, Eva Illouz y Sara Ahmed.","PeriodicalId":40152,"journal":{"name":"Anales Galdosianos","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/ang.2020.0005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"66190529","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 order to confront the imminent catastrophic conditions of a destabilized natural environment, it has become paramount to examine the development of behavioral stages in what is called the Anthropocene, to understand how Westernized cultures have envisioned humanity as disconnected or removed from the natural world. Fictional depictions expose the problematic interactions between a teleological view of human progress and the repercussions of such attitudes on the non-human natural world. In three of Benito Pérez Galdós's novels, Doña Perfecta, Marianela and La vuelta al mundo en la \"Numancia,\" Galdós portrays his characters' encounters with the earth's slow tempo with different outcomes that underscore his own developing understanding of human entanglement with the natural world.Resumen:Las humanidades ambientales exploran comportamientos y actitudes que han facilitado la crisis climatológica planetaria. La divergencia creciente entre la percepción humana del tiempo y los procesos temporales del planeta informa la crisis ambiental que amenaza a toda la humanidad. Para enfrentarse a las condiciones catastróficas de la desestabilización del medio ambiente es imprescindible examinar las etapas de lo que se denomina el Antropoceno, que nos ha llevado a considerar a la especie humana como desconectada de los procesos naturales.

As a middle-aged woman in El doctor Centeno, Marcelina experiences her acute ugliness as a social disability that severely limits her agency and autonomy. While her transition to fanatical beata in Tormento is strongly censured by the novel's bourgeois narrator, Marcelina's beatería represents a perhaps unconscious revolt against the abnegated solterona role society has assigned her. Where nineteenth-century Spanish social and medical discourses framed feminine aging in apocalyptic terms of deterioration, Marcelina somewhat paradoxically experiences old age as liberating precisely because, as an elderly woman, her appearance and behavior are no longer subjected to mainstream expectations of (youthful) femininity.Resumen:Este ensayo se aproxima a dos novelas de Benito Pérez Galdós por los marcos teóricos de los estudios etarios y los estudios sobre discapacidad, centrándose en el personaje de Marcelina Polo. De edad mediana en El doctor Centeno, Marcelina experimenta su fealdad como una discapacidad social que restringe su agencia y autonomía. Aunque la transformación de Marcelina en beata que aparece en Tormento es censurada de manera considerable por el narrador, se puede leer su práctica de beatería como una rebelión contra las limitadas expectativas sociales de la mujer solterona en esta época. Aunque los discursos contemporáneos sociales y médicos convienen en describir el envejecimiento femenino como una decadencia patológica, Marcelina experimenta su propia vejez como liberadora precisamente porque nadie la juzga ya según las expectativas sociales dominantes de feminidad juvenil.","PeriodicalId":40152,"journal":{"name":"Anales Galdosianos","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/ang.2020.0000","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49520111","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}
