Barnard studies poems “in which objects are endowed with agency to stage interactive performances with readers and viewers for mediating cultural and historical memory” and, more generally, poems that make “reference” to “concrete objects” in the work of four Spanish authors from the early seventeenth century (14, 129). Objects in these poets serve “as vehicles for exploring issues of moment in Philip III’s Spain: the preservation of humanist learning in the age of print; the collapse of empires, specifically of imperial Rome and implicitly of Habsburg Spain; the role of learned academies in the literary and artistic life beyond the court; the formation of subjective identities within distinct social spaces; and the role of religious objects in the tradition of spirituality of CounterReformation Spain” (13). The investment on the part of the court of Philip III (r. 1598–1621)— particularly his valido, the Duke of Lerma—in collecting and displaying lavish works of art warrants Barnard’s focus on poetry from his reign. A Poetry of Things builds upon her previous monograph, Garcilaso de la Vega and the Material Culture of","PeriodicalId":44625,"journal":{"name":"HISPANIC REVIEW","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45610453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article analyzes cultural narratives about abulia in Baroja’s early fiction, demonstrating that they constitute a resonant pathological metaphor during a period in Spain’s history defined by national introspection and regenerationist debates. By tracing metaphorical explanations for social, political, and economic circumstances conveyed through the literary appropriation of medical terminology, this study explores comparisons between abulia and the gendered and class-based associations of neurasthenia at the turn of the twentieth century. Although the assumed causes of each condition are different, this process of transposition between medicine and metaphor anticipates the contemporary social, cultural, and ideological shaping of concepts such as stress and burnout.","PeriodicalId":44625,"journal":{"name":"HISPANIC REVIEW","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45443752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Compiled and annotated by Mario Bojórquez (who will be referred to as “the Editor”), it contains a strange mix of bawdy lyrics, insulting epitaphs, and soul-searching coded poems. The collection presents a challenge to the reader, who is forced to choose between the Narrator’s often simplistic writing and the Editor’s high academic analyses thereof. Using the theory of text ownership, I will analyze this contradictory combination to determine who—if anyone—controls the text of the collection. I will explore the roles of the narrator and the editor, taken up by both the Narrator and the Editor, in order to challenge the apparent parodic nature of the collection.","PeriodicalId":44625,"journal":{"name":"HISPANIC REVIEW","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42474964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

En “Silla del rey” elige como personaje al monarca español Felipe II. La representación del rey no es perfecta, y el autor rompe a veces la máscara de Felipe II para enseñar su propio rostro a través de la introducción de comentarios metapoéticos más propios de un escritor que de un rey. Además, este personaje es un paradójico correlato de Cernuda, puesto que el rey y El Escorial eran reconocidos símbolos de la retórica franquista. En este ensayo, ayudándome de las teorías críticas de Edward Said y Hayden White, analizo “Silla del rey” y la presencia meta-poética e irónica de Cernuda en el poema para desvelar las estrategias retóricas con las que critica el discurso historiográfico franquista.Abstract (Lang: English):Luis Cernuda designs his own version of the dramatic monologue, since he does not create enough distance between his characters and his own voice. In “Silla del rey,” Cernuda chooses as a character King Philip II, who meditates in the poem on the construction of El Escorial. This representation is not perfect, and Cernuda breaks the mask of Felipe II to show his own skin, usually by expressing metapoetic musings more akin to the author than to the king. Furthermore, this character seems a paradoxical correlate to Cernuda, since the king and El Escorial were well-known symbols of an essentialist rhetoric with which Francoist historiography told Spanish history. In this essay, I read “Silla del rey” and analyze the metapoetic presence of Cernuda in Felipe II as a rhetorical strategy to undermine Francoist historiographical discourse.","PeriodicalId":44625,"journal":{"name":"HISPANIC REVIEW","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44490373","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

En esa dirección, exploro los modos en los que esta poética dialoga y reinterpreta la tradición del silencio de la poesía místico-espiritual española del siglo XVI.

{"title":"Inhabiting the In-Between: Childhood and Cinema in Spain’s Long Transition by Sarah Thomas (review)","authors":"Fiona Noble","doi":"10.1353/hir.2023.a903840","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/hir.2023.a903840","url":null,"abstract":"The figure of the child has a long history in Spanish cinema, though it is only relatively recently that scholars of peninsular studies have dedicated their attention to unpacking its importance throughout the history of Spanish film. Early critical focus on this figure can be found in articles by Marsha Kinder and Isolina Ballesteros,1 who pinpoint the cinematic child’s significance as a cipher for the directors who came of age under Franco and as a historical witness, respectively. More recently, in her monograph The Child in Spanish Cinema (2013), Sarah Wright argued for the centrality of the onscreen child to cultural memory and depictions of the past, with par tic u lar reference to the Francoist period. Wright’s work traces the Spanish cinematic child from the 1950s to con temporary demo cratic Spain, charting the evolution of the child from the the allsinging, alldancing child stars of Francoist cinema (such as Marcelino and Marisol), via the child witness of the Transition and, later, within the historical memory boom (Ana Torrent; del Toro films), to the adolescents of con temporary demo cratic Spain still subject to repressive Francoist legacies (El bola; Camino). Erin Hogan’s The Two Cines con Niño: Genre and the Child Protagonist in Over Fifty Years of Spanish Film (1955–2010) (2020) considers childcenterd cinema both under Franco and in demo cratic Spain, unpacking the distinct ways in which the child figure is utilized under diverse political circumstances. With Inhabiting the InBetween: Childhood and Cinema in Spain’s Long Transition, Thomas makes a valuable contribution to the field, examining the multivalent character of the onscreen child through her focalization of this figure in the specific historical moment of the Transition. The value in Thomas’s work therefore lies not only in its sophisticated and insightful theoretical positioning of the cinematic child, but also with its wider implications for Spanish cultural studies and, in par tic u lar, the impulse to reevaluate the Transition and its legacies in the con temporary context. Inhabiting the InBetween commences with the assertion that “ Children haunt the cinema of the Spanish transition to democracy” (3) and a detailed","PeriodicalId":44625,"journal":{"name":"HISPANIC REVIEW","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48746313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The divine, angelic looks of these two young characters come with a high cost. San Luis, from Martín Rivas (1862), and Manríquez, from El ideal de un calavera (1863), are exceedingly handsome but devoid of means, a fact that makes their circumstances especially harsh. They are also deeply in love with privileged, wealthy Santiago women, which causes the heroes to suffer. They challenge Chile’s capitalist social order, resist their outsider status, and follow the Weltanschauung of a pipiolo (liberal). They confront danger and fight the good fight. Yet these two brave men cannot escape past behaviors and decisions. It is their unhappy fate to lose their beautiful ladies to less attractive men, and ultimately to die in battle (San Luis) and by execution (Manríquez).","PeriodicalId":44625,"journal":{"name":"HISPANIC REVIEW","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47004248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There existed a growing belief among these professionals that “Spain was in many ways more alike than dif er ent from its Western Eu ro­ pean neighbors, and that Spain’s future lay in becoming a member of a pros­ perous, Western cap i tal ist, international community” (141) and that advertising had a key role to play in making this vis i ble. Attention is placed, for example, on the publicizing of the introduction of British­ inspired unisex clothing and the profound sociocultural transformations this addresses. A newly professionalized generation of admen (144) was in place and ready to make modernization (at least in cultural terms) real.
