The presence of the Aragonese language in the magazine "El Ebro" (1917-1936)

El Ebro (1917-1936) was a magazine published in Barcelona by Aragonese emigrants at the beginning of the 20th century. It was the first experience of coexistence of different dialectal varieties of the Aragonese language in the same media. El Ebro was an experience that has gone virtually unnoticed in the recent history of one of the most minority languages, and with minor media presence, of Western Europe. In its pages El Ebro mixed dialects spoken in different regions of linguistic Aragonese area together with transcripts of medieval documents. At the same time, this newspaper raised debates about the language issue that they were truncated due to disappearance of the publication and the lack of theoretical realization

Adaptation to the Environment: Changes in Initial Projects in Ottoman Shephardic Press

The origins of Sephardic press date back to the mid-20th century, when the influence of the Western world spread across the Sephardim communities of the East. The content of these newspapers was diverse: pieces of general interest, but also scientific, literary and humorous works, with various political orientations. These papers were published in different languages, writing styles and alphabets. Those to be analysed here, however, were published in aljamiado Judeo-Spanish: three papers from Smyrna and one from Salonica. Throughout this work we will focus on the different obstacles and difficulties the editors and publishers of this Ottoman Sephardic press had to face to bring their publications to light.

El artista contemporáneo ante la transformación de su obra. El paso del tiempo y su efecto sobre la significación de la materia

El paso del tiempo tiene una repercusión inevitable sobre las obras de arte. En el caso del arte contemporáneo muchos de los valores estéticos, culturales o sociales presentes en las mismas, están vinculados a la apariencia y al uso premeditado de la materia. La transformación de la materia tiene una repercusión sobre la intención y el discurso estético, por ello, y ante la imposibilidad de impedir el cambio, se hace necesaria una profunda reflexión sobre el concepto de autenticidad de la obra de arte y sobre el concepto de ruina prematura. Por otro lado, gracias a la figura del artista contemporáneo es posible documentar la producción actual para determinar si la mutación de la materia afectará a lo esencial en las obras. En este sentido, el trabajo ha conseguido concretar, para el caso de varios artistas fundamentales del panorama español, qué aspectos deben, por ser esenciales, permanecer inmutables con el paso del tiempo.
