Du fer et du sang. Le genre des Grandes invasions (ive-vie siècle)
L’article analyse la représentation et la perception des Grandes invasions à la fin du xixe siècle et au début du xxe siècle : des mouvements de groupes ethniques cohérents, conduits par des héros masculins. Ce modèle a été suggéré à partir d’un type spécifique de sagas mythiques du haut Moyen Âge, les Origines gentium qui, s’appuyant sur différentes sources anciennes, présentaient l’échiquier complexe des déplacements, des guerres et des alliances entre les barbares et l’Empire comme des exodes linéaires de tribus cohérentes vers une terre promise. Les archéologues et les ostéologues ont appliqué littéralement ce modèle : les biens funéraires et les types de squelettes permettaient à leurs yeux d’identifier les membres des différentes tribus et de suivre leurs routes migratoires. Ils ont privilégié les tombes avec des armes et les squelettes masculins et souligné ainsi l’agentivité des hommes. Cependant, les découvertes archéologiques examinées de plus près nous racontent une histoire complètement différente : dans les cimetières du haut Moyen Âge, les femmes avaient une plus grande visibilité que les hommes.This article explores the ways in which the great migrations of the early Middle Ages were represented and perceived in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. They were habitually interpreted as movements of coherent ethnic groups, led by male heroes. This model took its inspiration from a specific type of early medieval mythical saga, the Origines gentium which drew on different topoi from ancient sources to present the complex chessboard of displacements, wars and alliances between barbarians and the Empire as linear exoduses of coherent tribes towards a promised land. Archaeologists and osteologists applied this model literally: in their view, grave goods and types of skeleton made it possible to identify the members of different tribes and to follow their migration routes. They paid special attention to tombs containing weapons and to male skeletons, thus emphasizing male agency. However, closer scrutiny of the archaeological findings tells a completely different story: in fact, in cemeteries of the early medieval period, women are more present and visible than men
,Anders als alle anderen Egils sagas‘. Zum Konnex von Einzelverfasserschaft und anderer Ästhetik im spätvormodernen Island
In the long-lasting Icelandic manuscript culture, the production and reception of sagas was situated in a narrative tradition characterised by the absence of notions of an author genius and a high degree of mouvance and variance: from the 13th to the 19th century Icelandic saga literature was transmitted anonymously and in handwritten form in ever new retextualisations, accompanied by reiterating changes of medium (oral / written) and genre (prose / verse). It is therefore less the absence than the more or less sudden appearance of attributions of authorship for these kinds of texts in the course of the 18th century that is remarkable in the Icelandic case
Semiótica y adaptación. La representación de los superhéroes de DC en cómics y cine: el caso de Superman y Batman
En la actualidad, existen diferentes investigaciones, basadas en los procesos de adaptaciones de unos medios a otros, como, por ejemplo, las adaptaciones de obras literarias al cine o al teatro. No obstante, debido a la popularidad de este tipo de adaptaciones de la literatura al cine, pocos estudios se han centrado en la adaptación del cómic de superhéroes a la gran pantalla. Por esta razón, consideramos que existe una serie de aspectos fundamentales que, prácticamente, no han sido analizados y que requieren de una investigación, tales como un análisis eminentemente semiótico del proceso de adaptación de los cómics de superhéroes al cine a lo largo de su recorrido o cómo dichas adaptaciones toman forma según el período cronológico en el que se producen. La presente tesis doctoral pretende analizar, a través de la lectura de un elevado número de sus cómics y del visionado de todas sus respectivas adaptaciones al cine, cómo las figuras de los superhéroes Batman y Superman, los dos de la editorial DC, han sido representadas en ambos medios (cómic y cine), basando siempre este análisis en ciertos conceptos semióticos propuestos por Charles Sanders Peirce
El discurso higiénico en la prensa conquense de comienzos del Siglo XX
[ES] La Salud Pública de principios del siglo XX se caracterizó por la intervención sobre las enfermedades sociales, aquéllas ligadas a las lamentables condiciones de vida y trabajo. Analizamos el contenido periodístico para conocer la higiene pública de este periodo, para valorar cómo la prensa es capaz de alejarse de los centros médicos y gubernamentales y de crear un particular estado de opinión en la sociedad respecto a las enfermedades que responde a los propios intereses de los medios de comunicación. Tomamos como referencia las noticias publicadas en Cuenca relacionadas con las condiciones higiénicas de la ciudad y con el alzamiento del precio de las subsistencias.[EN] Public Health in the early twentieth century was marked by the intervention on the social diseases linked to those deplorable living and working social conditions. We analyze the discursive journalistic contents of this period related to public health, in order to demonstrate how the press is able to get away from medical centers and government and create a particular state of opinion in society about different diseases that respond to the own interests of social mass media. The pieces of news selected were published in Cuenca, and were related to the hygienic conditions of the city and the rise of the subsistence’s price
Henry David Thoreau e as Linguagens da Natureza
This dissertation aims to present a hermeneutic reading of some of the religious symbols
brought to light by the literature of the poet and naturalist Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862).
The background of our argument is the romantic motto of the symbolic correspondence between
Nature and spirit, inherited by the author from his contact with the movement that became
known as “Transcendentalism,” a religious, literary, philosophical, and political circle gestated
in the Nineteenth-century United States. From this panorama, we draw a poetic appreciation of
the thinker’s interpretation of the linguistic correlation between Nature and spirit that points to
the unity between the immanence of natural kingdoms (the earth) and the transcendence of the
spiritual spheres (the sky). Emphasizing the sacred character of the symbols hinted by
Thoreau’s texts, those emblems we call “mythopoetic hieroglyphs” and “musical hieroglyphs.”
Beyond the tonalities of romanticism, the work proposed here, evoking distinct religious paths,
seeks to highlight the multiple reflective possibilities that the North American thinker offers to
comparative studies of religions, given the mark of dialogicity between different wisdom
traditions in his composition. Highlighting seeing and hearing (i.e., reading and listening to the
“book” and the “orchestra” of Nature), our exposition aims to unravel the intimate relationship
between spirituality and bodily sensibility in the intellectual’s approach to those we call
“Languages of Nature.”A presente dissertação tem por objetivo apresentar uma leitura hermenêutica de alguns
dos símbolos religiosos trazidos à baila pela literatura do poeta e naturalista Henry David
Thoreau (1817–1862). O pano de fundo de nossa argumentação é o mote romântico da
correspondência simbólica entre Natureza e espírito, herdado pelo autor a partir de seu contato
com o movimento que se tornou conhecido como “Transcendentalismo”, círculo religioso,
literário, filosófico e político gestado nos Estados Unidos do século XIX. A partir desse
panorama, traçamos uma apreciação poética da interpretação de Thoreau acerca da correlação
linguística entre Natureza e espírito que aponta para a unidade entre a imanência dos reinos
naturais (a terra) e a transcendência das esferas espirituais (o céu). Ressaltando o caráter sagrado
dos símbolos aventados pelos textos thoreauvianos, tais emblemas são aqui denominados
“hieróglifos mitopoéticos” e “hieróglifos musicais”. Para além das tonalidades do romantismo,
o trabalho aqui proposto, evocando distintos sendeiros religiosos, busca realçar as múltiplas
possibilidades reflexivas que o pensador norte-americano oferece aos estudos comparativos das
religiões, haja vista a marca da dialogicidade entre diversas tradições sapienciais em sua obra.
Destacando o ver e o ouvir (i.e., a leitura e a audição do “livro” e da “orquestra” da Natureza),
nossa exposição tem por intuito deslindar a íntima relação entre espiritualidade e sensibilidade
corpórea na abordagem do intelectual daquelas que intitulamos “Linguagens da Natureza”.CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superio
Cystic echinococcosis in Iceland: a brief history and genetic analysis of a 46-year-old Echinococcus isolate collected prior to the eradication of this zoonotic disease
Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is considered the most severe parasitic disease that ever affected the human population in Iceland. Before the start of eradication campaign in the 1860s, Iceland was a country with very high prevalence of human CE, with approximately every fifth person infected. Eradication of CE from Iceland by 1979 was a huge success story and served as a leading example for other countries on how to combat such a severe One Health problem. However, there is no genetic information on Echinococcus parasites before eradication. Here, we reveal the genetic identity for one of the last Echinococcus isolates in Iceland, obtained from a sheep 46 years ago (1977). We sequenced a large portion of the mitochondrial genome (8141 bp) and identified the isolate as Echinococcus granulosus sensu stricto genotype G1. As G1 is known to be highly infective genotype to humans, it may partly explain why such a large proportion of human population in Iceland was infected at a time . The study demonstrates that decades-old samples hold significant potential to uncover genetic identities of parasites in the past
"El fondo húmedo del abismo": las primicias del período azul de Picasso a través de "La vida" de Tyto Alba
The life and work of the celebrated painter Pablo Ruiz Picasso are closely linked, as has been demonstrated by critics who have approached his production from different points of view. The suicide of his friend Carles Casagemas was the trigger for the so-called “blue period”, the first major stage in the Malaga-born painter's artistic career, which the cartoonist Tyto Alba deals within the graphic novel La Vida, published in 2016. In this study, I will analyse how the graphic novel sheds light not only on the history of a friendship through a rich documentation about Picasso and Casagemas, but also, through the intermediality, the comic becomes the vehicle of Picasso's painting and a graphic testimony of the Franco-Spanish fin-de-siècle bohemia experienced by the two artists.La vida y la obra del celebérrimo pintor Pablo Ruiz Picasso están estrechamente vinculadas, como ha demostrado la crítica tras haber abordado su producción desde diferentes puntos de vista. El suicidio de su amigo Carles Casagemas fue el detonante del llamado “período azul”, primera gran etapa dentro del recorrido artístico del malagueño en la que se enfrenta el dibujante Tyto Alba en la novela gráfica La Vida, de 2016. En este estudio, analizaré de qué manera la novela gráfica permite arrojar luz, no solo sobre la historia de una amistad a través de una documentación nutrida acerca de Picasso y Casagemas, sino que, además, por medio de la intermedialidad, el cómic se convierte el vehículo de la pintura picassiana y testimonio gráfico de la bohemia finisecular francoespañola vivida por los dos artistas
