Tirant Lo Blanc

By: Joanot Martorell,Martí Joan de Galba

First published in the Catalan language in Valencia in 1490, Tirant lo Blanc ("The White Tyrant") is a sweeping epic of chivalry and high adventure. With great precision and verve, Martorell narrates land and sea battles, duels, hunts, banquets, political maneuverings, and romantic conquests. Reviewing the first modern Spanish translation in 1969 (Franco had ruthlessly suppressed the Catalan language and literature), Mario Vargas Llosa hailed the epic's author as "the first of that lineage of God-supplanters—Fielding, Balzac, Dickens, Flaubert, Tolstoy, Joyce, Faulkner—who try to create in their novels an all-encompassing reality.

Ramon Llull as a Vernacular Writer

Communicating a New Kind of Knowledge

By: Lola Badia,Joan Santanach i Suñol,Albert Soler i Llopart

The authors maintain that Llull was an atypical 'scholar' because he enjoyed a form of access to knowledge that differed from the norm and because he organized the production and dissemination of his writings in a creative and unconventional fashion. Ramon Llull (1232-1316), mystic, missionary, philosopher and author of narrative and poetry, wrote both in Latin and in the vernacular claiming he had been given a new science to unveil the Truth. This book shows why his Latin andvernacular books cannot be read as if they had been written in isolation from one another. Llull was an atypical 'scholar' because he enjoyed a form of access to knowledge that differed from the norm and because he organized theproduction and dissemination of his writings in a creative and unconventional fashion. At a time when learned texts and university culture were conveyed for the most part using the vehicle of Latin, he wrote a substantial proportion of his theological and scientific works in his maternal Catalan while, at the same time, he was deeply involved in the circulation of such works in other Romance languages. These circumstances do not preclude the fact that a considerable number of the titles comprising his extensive output of more than 260 works were written directly in Latin, or that he had various books which were originally conceived in Catalan subsequently translated or adapted intoLatin. Lola Badia is a professor in the Catalan Philology Departament at the University of Barcelona. Joan Santanach is Lecturer of Catalan Philology at the University of Barcelona. Albert Soler (1963) is Lecturer of Catalan Philology at the University of Barcelona.

Salvador Tarragó : miscel·lània

By: Joan Tort i Donada, 1958,Montserrat Julià i Torné

L’origen d’aquesta Miscel·lània és sens dubte motiu d’alegria. La iniciativa sorgeix d’un grup d’amics, a finals de l’any 2010. El llibre vol ser un sentit homenatge a Salvador Tarragó, arquitecte, historiador i professor d’història de l’Enginyeria Civil a l’Escola d’Enginyers de Camins de la UPC, amb motiu de la seva jubilació. Ens referim a la trajectòria de tots aquests anys, com a investigador i professor, però, també, home d’acció, amb la iniciativa i el coratge que ha demostrat en diversos àmbits culturals i socials de Catalunya, Galícia, Andalusia, Madrid i de manera indirecta d’Amèrica Llatina. El llibre es divideix en tres apartats: Biogràfics, on es recullen els diversos reconeixements d’amics, estudiants i persones properes a Salvador al llarg de la seva trajectòria; Aportacions, articles de treballs de recerca o reflexió més personals, i finalment, Antologia de textos de Salvador Tarragó ordenats cronològicament.

Gods in Euripides

By: Joan Josep Mussarra Roca

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Gods in Euripides

By: Joan Josep Mussarra Roca

This is a book about the representation of gods (both as characters and as a subject for discourse) in two tragedies by Euripides: Heracles and Hippolytus. Its goal is to establish a (necessarily partial) framework for the reading of Greek tragedy and for the analysis of the various ways in which the gods of the Greek religion appear in tragic drama, and to apply it to the aforementioned plays. In this work we contend that such a framework should transcend the usual dichotomy made between a "religious" and a "non-religious" reading of Greek tragedy, and more specifically of Euripidean tragedy. This dichotomy contains in itself a cultural assumption, that is, the possibility of establishing a clear-cut distinction between a domain of religious discourse and an autonomous, profane sphere in which the representations of gods would assume a different value and meaning. There is nothing in the discursive structures, or even in the archeological record of Classical Greece, that allows us to posit something of the kind. The elements that appear to us as questioning the traditional representations of gods in Greek tragedy can be seen from this perspective.

The Ghost in the Constitution

Historical Memory and Denial in Spanish Society

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Ghost in the Constitution

Historical Memory and Denial in Spanish Society

By: Joan Ramon Resina

The Ghost in the Constitution offers a reflection on the political use of the concept of historical memory foregrounding the case of Spain. The book analyses the philosophical implications of the transference of the notion of memory from the individual consciousness to the collective subject and considers the conflation of epistemology with ethics. A subtheme is the origins and transmission of political violence, and its endurance in the form of symbolic violence and negationism in the post-Franco era. Some chapters treat of specific traumatic phenomena such as the bombing of Guernica and the Holocaust.

The Biblical Book of Daniel

The Catalan Translation by the French Hebraist Maties Delcor

By: Joan Ferrer Costa,Francesc Feliu,Olga Fullana

Delcor (1919-1992) is responsible for a translation of the Book of Daniel, which is the only Catalan version of a book of the Bible produced by a North Catalan author to be included in Fundació Bíblica Catalana’s 1968 Bible. This unique circumstance was the inspiration to recover this translation and publish it in a scientific edition collated with the original texts from which Delcor worked. The introduction situates this singular work in the context of the long history of biblical translations in Catalan and offers an exegetical approach to this work that tradition has transmitted in three languages of the ancient world: Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek. English equivalents of all of the texts have been added as a further point of comparison.

Tauira

Maori Methods of Learning and Teaching

By: Joan Metge

What it was like growing up in Maori rural communities in the mid-twentieth century? Voices from the past answer this question in the pages of this book. In te reo Maori, 'tauira' means both student and teacher. In the book Tauira, acclaimed educator and anthropologist Joan Metge introduces readers to Maori methods of teaching and learning that are rich in lessons for us all. Based on extensive interviews, this book offers a window on a mid-twentieth-century rural Maori world as described by those who grew up there. Metge's work tackles important questions about Maori teaching and learning of this period: What was the role of whanau and hapu, household and marae, kaumatua and siblings, work and play? How much learning was practical and how much by teaching? Metge shows that Maori ways of learning flourished alongside the school system - especially in rural Northland, the Bay of Plenty and on the East Cape - and that those educational practices had a particular form and philosophy. Maori focused on learning by doing, teaching in context, learning in a group, memorising, and advancement when ready. Parents, grandparents and community leaders imparted cultural knowledge as well as practical skills to the younger generation through daily life and storytelling, in whanau and community activities. In preserving this evidence and these voices from the past, this important book also offers much inspiration for the future.
