Las mujeres mueven montañas (2019), by Pepita Sandwich (Josefina Guarracino, Argentina), traces the accomplishments of fourteen exceptional women throughout recent history. The second narrative, Estamos todas bien (2017), by Ana Penyas (Spain), describes the lives of two women, Penyas’s grandmothers, who lived in Spain under the Franco dictatorship. By drawing upon theories of memory studies and the comic as a form of documentary and testimony, this essay demonstrates how these graphic narratives provide a platform that creates a unified genealogy of women across the globe through the retelling of the past.","PeriodicalId":44702,"journal":{"name":"BULLETIN OF HISPANIC STUDIES","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89693978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, the text offers a subtle representation of enforced disappearance (‘desaparición forzada’) to be interpreted in line with Agamben’s readings on the homo sacer (the sacred man). Consequently, carnival and the state of siege - namely, martial law - are equivalent as a temporary stop on rights or on the law.","PeriodicalId":44702,"journal":{"name":"BULLETIN OF HISPANIC STUDIES","volume":"255 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75763052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Firstly, I interpret Ode I as a statement of his poetic programme. Next, I argue that in Ode XXII Fray Luis navigates lyric’s apparent rejection of epic themes by modelling his portrayal of Pedro Portocarrero on Horace’s relationship with Maecenas. I then discuss how other elevated poems are compatible with the lyric persona through their affiliation with the hymn form and particularly with Pindar’s lyric. Critics often comment that Fray Luis avoids amatory themes; while this is true in his original poetry, I argue that in his translations of Horace and in his use of Classical allusion in the Latin commentary In Canticum Canticorum, the lyric persona gives him both the licence to treat amatory themes and the ability to distance himself from them through Horatian humour.","PeriodicalId":44702,"journal":{"name":"BULLETIN OF HISPANIC STUDIES","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73621759","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite Cortázar’s later public statements about the importance of an author’s engagement with politics, it is the analytical acumen in the realist aspects of these often fantastical novels, rather than a commitment to a stance, or a political message, that ensures the continued potency of his works as political fictions. Furthermore, recent critical investigations of race and racism in Argentina deepen our understanding of the author’s politics through reference to these questions. Cortázar admitted later in life that his former self shared many of the prejudices of his narrators and characters. We aim to nuance Beckman’s recent assertion that Cortázar displays ‘racist […] assumptions embedded within his vision of universality’ (2018) by setting these works against the background of race and politics in Argentina.","PeriodicalId":44702,"journal":{"name":"BULLETIN OF HISPANIC STUDIES","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72711930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These auction catalogues present the content of the library while also providing insights into how the collection was arranged and used in Macklin’s home. By considering Macklin’s bibliophilia and the social use of his books, the chapter argues that, alongside his work as an actor and playwright, Macklin had a noteworthy role in the intellectual culture of his time, albeit that he was not accepted by all of his peers and that few material traces of this engagement with Enlightenment thought were left behind.","PeriodicalId":44702,"journal":{"name":"BULLETIN OF HISPANIC STUDIES","volume":"1 1","pages":"55-72"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147915804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
