We will also see an unequal treatment of that landscape through the different genres that he cultivates.","PeriodicalId":44625,"journal":{"name":"HISPANIC REVIEW","volume":"90 1","pages":"617 - 635"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47954717","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}

Suspendidos en un estado liminal, los personajes se encuentran con la imposibilidad de hacer una experiencia de lo que han vivido, ya que, como nos recordaba Walter Benjamin, esto requiere una comunidad que cuente historias y las escuche.

Their protagonists arrive in unknown places after events of intense suffering. These places function as false thresholds that separate the characters from their original communities but cannot offer them a new one. Suspended in a liminal state, the characters find it impossible to create experience out of what they have lived through, since, as Walter Benjamin reminds us, this requires a community that tells and listens to stories. The crisis of community, narrative, and experience are the result of modernization, as it enters the geographic and economic periphery of the country. We postulate that these films develop an aesthetics of slowness that allows them to express and respond to this triple crisis.","PeriodicalId":44625,"journal":{"name":"HISPANIC REVIEW","volume":"90 1","pages":"523 - 543"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41799438","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}

Las obras dramáticas demuestran la existencia de procedimientos frecuentes que los dramaturgos utilizaban como lugares comunes y que permiten realizar una clasificación tripartita de motivos escatológicos: los vinculados con la gastronomía, el miedo y la sátira del cortejo. En ellos, el gracioso no es el único blanco de las heces, pero sí la víctima predilecta, pues se enmarca en un sistema que certifica la correspondencia entre la clase inferior, las funciones fisiológicas y las características risibles.Abstract:Scatology constitutes one of the essential humorous resources of Spanish Golden Age theater, despite the fact that literary criticism has tended to ignore that established authors such as Lope de Vega, Cervantes, Tirso de Molina and Calderón de la Barca mixed their fictions with feces. The dramatic works prove the existence of frequent procedures that the playwrights used as commonplace and that allow a tripartite classification of scatological motifs: those related to gastronomy, to fear, and to the satire of courtship. In them, the \"gracioso\" is not the only target of the feces, but the favorite victim, since it is part of a system that certifies the correspondence between the lower class, physiological functions, and laughable characteristics.","PeriodicalId":44625,"journal":{"name":"HISPANIC REVIEW","volume":"90 1","pages":"357 - 380"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42102821","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}

However, some antislavery children's stories circulated without restriction in public and private schools across the island. These stories are little known and have not been studied as part of the abolitionist effort in Cuba. I examine the antislavery stories that appeared in Cirilo Villaverde's El librito de los cuentos (1847) and Francisco Javier Balmaseda's Fábulas morales (1858). These books were approved by Spanish censors and became official reading material in schools at a time when slavery was the foundation of Cuba's economy. I argue that because the children's genre was not perceived as politically dangerous and was, therefore, less scrutinized, Villaverde and Balmaseda used it as a safe platform to promote their anticolonial programs. I consider the two authors' strategies vis-à-vis censorship and draw from postcolonial theory to discuss the use of violence in these stories.","PeriodicalId":44625,"journal":{"name":"HISPANIC REVIEW","volume":"90 1","pages":"423 - 442"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42011709","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}

These works rewrite negative narratives of aging popular in Galician folksongs, which frequently targeted elderly peasant women (vellas) as objects of satire and ridicule. I argue that the positive framing of feminine senescence in these texts reflects the Galician author's desire to incorporate both regional and feminine discourses into her articulation of the Spanish nation. Through her authorial intervention, Pardo Bazán positions herself, not unproblematically, as a privileged arbiter of Galician popular traditions, coopting the vellainto her cosmopolitan self-fashioning as a cultural elite.","PeriodicalId":44625,"journal":{"name":"HISPANIC REVIEW","volume":"90 1","pages":"381 - 404"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44553143","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}

Por su parte, “Crisis y crítica” inicia con la experiencia periodística de Clarín para reflexionar sobre la relación “entre tesela, mosaico y vida”, es decir, entre un texto, cada texto y el proceso de elaboración de cada uno de ellos. En ese sentido, la labor periodística de Clarín demuestra que, en ocasiones, esta no conforma un trabajo final, único y cerrado que ha de brindarse así al lector, sino un proceso fragmentario, metonímico, administrado a retazos para que sea el lector el encargado de juzgar y reconstruir, como si de un puzle se tratara, la fotografía final que se le entrega. Escritores y lectores de un día todos se ocupa de uno de los temas a los que sin duda menos ha prestado atención la crítica: la relación entre literatura y periodismo, y cómo aspectos tales como la inmediatez, la fragmentación y la heterogeneidad afectaban el propio proceso de creación literaria, todo ello en un momento en el que los lindes que separaban la escritura periodística de la creativa eran difusos.
