This assertion is based on her capacity to construct a narrative imaginary that produces performance effects, derived from the confluence and evocation of other languages that can be found in the literary reception of 17 simples cuentos (2006) and of El cura y la sucia (2012). The traditional boundaries that tend to restrict literature to a specific field of critical action seem, in consequence, to become fuzzy. Thus, performance ―as a “methodological lense”, according to Diana Taylor― is made into a certain possibility that widens perspectives to approach this Spanish American writing proposal.","PeriodicalId":53723,"journal":{"name":"Philologica Canariensia","volume":"1 1","pages":"27-47"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41539568","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}

This collection articulates a dramatic inquiry into the tragedy of unrequited love in a long cycle of lyrics whose third piece most effectively encapsulates the kernel of what the Fields reconstruct as Sappho’s ambivalent eroticism. The outcome of this reconstruction, as analysed in light of lyric III, is a consistent Hegelian view of desire that subsumes a complex system of tropes, myths, paradoxes and imaginative strategies under an overarching ideology of desire as a radical experience of appropriation, violence and self-destruction.","PeriodicalId":53723,"journal":{"name":"Philologica Canariensia","volume":"1 1","pages":"49-63"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42596541","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}

Both the novel and the movie are about finding answers to fundamental questions as to one’s nature of existence motivated by a human curiosity and desire for immortality leading to a conflict with one’s creator. The main concern here is to lay bare the blurriness of the lines allegedly separating the monsters from their creators, elucidating the monstrosity of the creators themselves as a product of hubris which eventually leads to a transgression of the boundaries between God/man, man/monster, good/evil and so forth.","PeriodicalId":53723,"journal":{"name":"Philologica Canariensia","volume":"1 1","pages":"115-129"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46491585","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}

However, based on an extensive corpus-based analysis of occurrences with the verbs forget, know, remember, understand and believe, this article shows that the get-passive with stative verbs of cognition, although infrequent, does occur in English. The so-called cognitive get-passive is then examined in relation to the formal, semantic and pragmatic properties commonly claimed to define central get-passives with dynamic verbs. The analysis reveals, on the one hand, that these features are not equally relevant in the characterisation of these sentences and, on the other, that there exist strong interconnections between them and the lexical properties of the verbs analysed.","PeriodicalId":53723,"journal":{"name":"Philologica Canariensia","volume":"1 1","pages":"65-94"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43399666","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}

From a set of progressive prototypes drawn from the family of corpora York-Toronto-Helsinki-Penn, we exemplify how the lexical and grammatical configuration of the construction which is characteristic of Present-Day English appears since Old English. Furthermore, we explain how the syntactic evolution of English enables the establishment of the obligatory grammatical nature of the verbal periphrastic construction. Finally, we explain how the grammatical patterns and the semantic and pragmatic features that describe the English progressive construction in the course of its evolution are manifested apparently through a functional-morphosyntactic and grammatical change gradient.","PeriodicalId":53723,"journal":{"name":"Philologica Canariensia","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-25"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2021-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47292748","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}
