Un reto importante, pero desde luego no abordable en un tomo. En este ultimo cap ıtulo, Park explora algunas concepciones de la identidad pac ıfica como la de Carlos P. R omulo, Diosdado Macapagal, ambos oficiales del gobierno filipino, de la d ecada de los sesenta, cuyas declaraciones solo tienen finalidad diplom atica. Tambi en explora con detenimiento las concepciones del ya mencionado novelista Abad, subrayando la lamentable anulaci on mutua de los filipinos y de los hispanoamericanos en la imaginaci on de identidad, una noci on claramente influida por las Imagined Communities de Benedict Anderson (London: Verso, 1983), de cada uno de estos dos pueblos (124). Abad propone una clave para subsanar esta laguna: Jos e Rizal (129). A tenor de ello, Park prosigue sus reflexiones partiendo del hecho hist orico de la publicaci on en 1976 de la novela rizaliana Noli me tangere por Biblioteca Ayacucho (Caracas). El resultado es una exploraci on muy prometedora de Leopoldo Zea, que con su lectura de Heidegger y de la noci on del ser como proceso captado por el “ser” como infinitivo en lugar de ser un sustantivo (superando la traducci on cl asica de Sein und Zeit del fil osofo espa~ nol Jos e Gaos (131), hace una relectura o un redescubrimiento de la figura rizaliana y las ramificaciones de tales planteamientos que van m as all a de los descubrimientos de placas y monumentos, en tiempos de la presidencia de Diosdado Macapagal (141), y que se acercan a la noci on de tornaviaje, que no es un hecho o un mero sustantivo (142) sino que, de acuerdo con una lectura renovada del Dasein heideggerriano, es un proceso constante, un reto continuo que solo puede llevarse a cabo en “atreverse a ser transpac ıfico” (143). Aqu ı todo lo anecd otico, espor adico y narrativo confluye.

However, such contextualization often comes at the expense of detailed textual analysis. (In Chapter 2, the imbalance is striking.)

After looking at the photographs by Garcia and Caturla, still limited by the cultural structures of the period, the chapter analyses the more ambitious and innovative work produced by Colita, a member of Barcelona’s Gauche Divine. What I find fascinating in Colita’s work is her use of irony, scrutinized by Sendra through a photograph of two secretaries acting as slaves of the male character of publisher Jorge Herralde (173). Without the complicity of the viewer in activating its irony, this photograph would be complicit with, rather than critical of, patriarchy. Sendra resorts to Donna Haraway’s concept of irony to make sense of this (173), but I would suggest that another way of looking at it would be through Judith Butler’s vindication and re-appropriation of the term “queer,” which has been a tool for discrimination in the dominant culture. A similar re-appropriation can be observed in a 1976 photograph of a demonstration against the criminalization of female adultery with Montserrat Roig and Maruja Torres wearing placards stating “Jo tamb e s oc ad ultera” [I’m an adulterer too]. This photograph is not discussed in the book, but it fits Sendra’s view of Colita’s clever visual irony. Sendra concludes by stressing that the works she studies are “founded on heterogeneity and multi-sensoriality, [and speak] to us about literature and photography not as representations, but as material objects and social agents” (191). She notes that the promising Barcelona of the neighbourhood associations, social movements, and the defiant texts of her corpus does not bear fruit until the twenty-first century, when exhibitions and other collective efforts related to the recovery of popular memory have made the history of the city’s margins less “elusive” (194). It could be argued that Catalan culture expressed in Catalan could have been more visible in Sendra’s monograph as, even under the restrictions imposed by the dictatorship, it voiced its resistance through its different, forbidden, clandestine language. Nevertheless, this a good, perceptive, and insightful book that successfully achieves its goal by seeking and discussing dissent in visual and literary texts of a challenging period.","PeriodicalId":42561,"journal":{"name":"Hispanic Research Journal-Iberian and Latin American Studies","volume":"23 1","pages":"364 - 365"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43989270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the plot summaries and analyses of Part 1 are necessary, since many readers will be unfamiliar with the subject matter, the structure has some disadvantages: most readers will need to refer back to Part 1 from Part 2 to remind themselves of what is going on in the text under discussion; and some repetition is inevitable. The comparative approach adopted in Part 2 is anticipated to some extent in Part 1, where there is a clear effort to forge links both among the texts treated (39, 90), and with those of other writers such as Ira Levin (88) and Melville (99). There are some efforts, too, to link the events recounted with the contemporary world: that Erzsebet B athory’s wealth allows her to perpetuate her crimes is linked to the prosecution of celebrities on historical sex-related charges (107). The style is occasionally marred by errors (“subsequently discovering his infidelity to her, her jealousy leads her to destroy him,” 55), and inelegance: (“where the vampires have moved on to, to try to rid the world of them,” 144).

Such comparisons demonstrate how the anthology of the poetic texts discussed in this study can unlock many new investigations into the arts and culture of medieval Iberia. For instance, art history students could build on Twomey’s analysis of fountain imagery in verses to Our Lady of Guadalupe in an investigation of the medieval fountain at the monastery that housed this statue. Similarly, the author’s extensive analysis of garden imagery would provide exciting material for further studies of the influence of Islamic garden design in this region of the medieval Mediterranean. Twomey begins her book by discussing Marian miracles featured in the works of Gonzalo de Berceo and Alfonso X, the earliest vernacular poets of the period she is interested in. In the chapters that follow, her identification of numerous texts as containing the “earliest” examples of certain types of images must thus be understood as referring to the thirteenth century. Not included in her analysis is Marian imagery in Visigothic liturgy from the Peninsula, recently studied by Kati Ihnat (2016, 2017, and 2019). Twomey’s meaning of “earliest” as referring to the thirteenth century is sometimes obscured by the author’s use of much earlier biblical commentary and by the limited inclusion of dates throughout the book; although Twomey does provide dates for key authors in her introduction, which helps to orient the reader. Of particular value in this book is the author’s thorough references to numerous late medieval liturgical manuscripts from across Iberia’s kingdoms. These are sources that are significantly underutilized in cultural studies of medieval Iberia and so their inclusion here helps to make this book indispensable. Also of great value, especially to students, is the inclusion of English translations for the majority of the book’s numerous quotations, though a full appreciation of these texts rests on Twomey’s sensitive analysis of the secondary or tertiary meanings or contextual significance of the words. The inclusion of yet longer passages from these medieval poems would have only augmented this helpful aspect of the book. Separate indexes for the different images she studies—figures, objects, containers, plants, medicinal substances, and perfumes—will also prove extremely useful to future studies of all forms of Marian art from medieval Iberia. Indeed, students and researchers will be much better able to navigate the, at times, labyrinthine field of Iberian art and devotion thanks to Twomey’s book.","PeriodicalId":42561,"journal":{"name":"Hispanic Research Journal-Iberian and Latin American Studies","volume":"23 1","pages":"265 - 267"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43432318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
