The Poem of Fernán González

Sinopsis del Libro

Libro The Poem of Fernán González

Fernan Gonzalez lived from about AD 910 to 970. The popular image of him is of a fearsome warrior who gave his people protection from their enemies (both Muslim and Christian), and a wise and respected lord who enabled them to live in security and harmony. He was generally accepted to have played a strategic role in achieving independence for Castile and freeing it from dominance by the kingdom of Leon. The Poema de Fernan Gonzalez was composed (by an unknown author) in the mid-thirteenth century as an enduring celebration of his triumphs and account of his life and deeds. Fact and legend have become intertwined and there is much within its stanzas that is certainly not closely based on historic facts! This new translation is set against a detailed study of the historic context of the Castillian conflicts and a factual account of the life and achievements of Fernan Gonzalez. The political situation of the time in which the poem was composed is also considered, as is the manner in which the 'history' it espouses came to be handed down over three centuries, the possibility of a pre-existing rich oral tradition surrounding this iconic figure, and the possible sources employed by the poet in constructing the poem.

Myths in Crisis

Libro Myths in Crisis

This trilingual volume examines the extent to which myths are affected by the crises of the 20th and 21st centuries. It brings together four theoretical studies which analyse both the crisis of structure – implying the distortion or disappearance of myth – and the crisis of concepts and terminology that currently threaten the study of mythology. The largest section of the volume focuses on the crises that have affected ancient, medieval and modern literary myths from a global perspective, taking into account psychology, ethics, politics and contemporary meta-literature. The final section...

El intersticio como fundamento poético en la obra de Julio Cortázar

Libro El intersticio como fundamento poético en la obra de Julio Cortázar

En el presente trabajo se plantea la pregunta por la presencia de lo poético en la obra del escritor argentino Julio Cortázar. Se intenta fundamentar el carácter poético de la prosa cortazariana más allá de una mera clasificación genérica. Para ello introducimos el concepto de intersticio o de lo intersticial. El intersticio es una instancia posibilitadora de sentido en la medida en que implica una suspensión o cuestionamiento de la realidad dada. Lo intersticial, precisamente por escabullirse a un sentido fijo, se manifiesta textualmente a través de diversas estructuras o...
