Esas lecturas \"ordinarias\" presentan diferentes facetas. Demostramos, por un lado, la predominancia de las reacciones emocionales, a veces intensas, ya que muchos lectores dan a los personajes un trato familiar. Los atributos estilísticos de las novelas, a pesar de lo que ha podido afirmarse en alguna ocasión, desencadenan igualmente este tipo de respuestas afectivas. Observamos asimismo que, contra todo pronóstico, muchos lectores encuentran en Galdós claves sociales de la España actual. Por último, hacemos notar que las interpretaciones están a menudo influidas mucho menos por la crítica académica que por los paratextos editoriales y por nuevas autoridades hermenéuticas digitales, como Amazon Reviews y Wikipedia.Abstract:This article examines the empirical reception of nine novels written by Benito Pérez Galdós, based on a corpus of 431 reader comments published on the digital social network \"Goodreads.\" These statements by common readers provide insights into diverse reading practices. There is a predominance of emotional reactions, which are sometimes intense, since many readers relate intimately to the characters. Contrary to previous assumptions, the stylistic features of Galdós's novels also trigger this kind of affective responses. It was further unexpected that many readers find in these nineteenth-century novels key social elements of present-day Spain. Finally, the study found that readers' interpretations on \"Goodreads\" are much less influenced by academic criticism than by editorial paratexts and new digital hermeneutic authorities, like Amazon reviews and the Wikipedia.","PeriodicalId":40152,"journal":{"name":"Anales Galdosianos","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/ang.2019.0001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41598415","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}

Encendió polémicas en una sociedad altamente polarizada entre la tradición y el progreso, la Iglesia y la ciencia, el conservadurismo y el liberalismo. Este ensayo difiere de los acercamientos críticos existentes en que aborda Electra como un testimonio de que Galdós estaba al día en los descubrimientos científicos del momento, de los que se sirve para dramatizar esta obra. Así, Galdós construye su Electra en términos de potencial eléctrico o voltaje según la conductividad de los metales que Máximo y Electra ensayan en el Acto III. El resultado de este experimento explica que Galdós deba recurrir a un catalítico para generar un verdadero cambio de energía que regenere la nación.Abstract:Electra's premier (1901) was a resounding success, accompanied by street disturbances. It sparked controversy in an extremely polarized society, torn between tradition and progress, the Catholic Church and science, conservatism and liberalism. This essay differs from other critical approaches in that it addresses Electra as evidence of Galdós's familiarity with the scientific discoveries of his time, which he uses to dramatize this play. Thus, Galdós builds his Electra in terms of the electric potential or voltage according to the conductivity of the metals that Máximo and Electra test in the Act III. The result of this experiment explains why Galdós needs to resort to a catalyst to generate a true change of energy that will regenerate the nation.","PeriodicalId":40152,"journal":{"name":"Anales Galdosianos","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/ang.2019.0003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47001053","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}

The complex representations of stone in Marianela (1878) reflect Edmund Husserl's theory of the \"living-present,\" in which the present is not perceived in isolation but on a continuum from past to future. The ashlar stones used for construction in Fortunata y Jacinta (1887) and Miau (1888) are unidentifiable as \"restos o preparativos,\" reinforcing a multilateral perception of time that encompasses the past and the future. The stone staircase in the Cava Baja, a crucial space in Fortunata's trajectory, gestures the durability of the past into the future while also signifying the temporality of the present.","PeriodicalId":40152,"journal":{"name":"Anales Galdosianos","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2019-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/ang.2019.0002","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43650744","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}
