María Gutiérrez Blanchard. Estat de la qüestió

Aquest treball de final de grau, té com objectiu realitzar un estat de la qüestió sobre tots els estudis i treballs realitzats, al voltant de la figura de l’artista María Gutiérrez Blanchard. D’una banda, s’ha buscat tota la bibliografia existent sobre ella, fent un recompte del total de les obres i comentant els anys de publicació. A més, s’ha analitzat totes les que s’han pogut consultar; presentant les aportacions, coincidències i dissidències que hi ha entre elles. Per una altra banda, i a partir de les informacions llegides en la bibliografia sobre l’artista, s’ha buscat la presència que té aquesta en les publicacions sobre els moviments, escoles o artistes ,amb els que va tenir algun vincle o relació (Escola de París, cubisme, Juan Gris i art i gènere), en els diccionaris i enciclopèdies d’història de l’art i en diferents documents electrònics.. Aquesta comparació de diferents treballs, m’ha donat l’oportunitat de veure les aportacions o punts positius de tots ells, per tal de conèixer a María Gutiérrez Blanchard i la seva obra; però també, m’ha permès ser conscient de les mancances o punts negatius, i així adonar-me que encara queda molta feina per a fer, per tal de conèixer a fons la seva figura. Cal destacar, el punt de vista masclista des del que s’ha analitzat l’obra d’aquesta artista, establint un forta connexió entre la seva obra i la vida personal (malformació física). .Aquest punt de vista ha estat fortament criticat, principalment durant els darrers anys, des de la bibliografia d’art i gènere, especialment per Xon de Ros, que aporta reflexions molt interessants.

Acotaciones a la traducción de clásicos grecolatinos y modernos de José María Valverde

Este trabajo es un comentario a un diálogo-entrevista con José María Valverde (Valencia de Alcántara/Cáceres/1926-Barcelona, 1996), en su vertiente estrictamente traductora. La importancia del comentario estriba en el hecho de que muchas traducciones del eximio teórico de la literatura, poeta y traductor extremeño servirán, con el tiempo, de modelo de lengua y cultura. De ahí la importancia de leer en su contexto, reseñar y comentar sus opiniones. Así, pues en el trabajo se reproducen y se comentan hasta seis items: 1. Para traducir bien, hay que oír al autor original. 2. El traductor tiene que vivir de su trabajo. 3. En Italia se traduce bien. 4. Está por escribir una historia del sentido del humor. 5. Cuando no existe una tradición hay que inventarla. 6. Lo primero es hablar; después traducir.

Preface: Extreme events induced by weather and climate change: evaluation, forecasting and proactive planning

This special issue of Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences (NHESS) contains eight papers presented as oral or poster contributions in the Natural Hazards NH-1.2 session on"Extreme events induced by weather and climate change: evaluation, forecasting and proactive planning", held at the European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly in Vienna, Austria, on 13-18 April 2008. The aim of the session was to provide an international forum for presenting new results and for discussing innovative ideas and concepts on extreme hydro-meteorological events, including: (i) the assessment of the risk posed by the extreme events, (ii) the expected changes in the frequency and intensity of the events driven by a changing climate and by multiple human- induced causes, (iii) new modelling approaches and original forecasting methods to predict extreme events and their consequences, and (iv) strategies for hazard mitigation and risk reduction, and for a improved adaptation to extreme hydro-meteorological events ...

Nuclear DNA content variation in life history phases of the Bonnemaisoniaceae (Rhodophyta)

Nuclear DNA content in gametophytes and sporophytes or the prostrate phases of the following species of Bonnemaisoniaceae (Asparagopsis armata, Asparagopsis taxiformis, Bonnemaisonia asparagoides, Bonnemaisonia clavata and Bonnemaisonia hamifera) were estimated by image analysis and static microspectrophotometry using the DNA-localizing fluorochrome DAPI (4′, 6-diamidino-2-phenylindole, dilactate) and the chicken erythrocytes standard. These estimates expand on the Kew database of DNA nuclear content. DNA content values for 1C nuclei in the gametophytes (spermatia and vegetative cells) range from 0.5 pg to 0.8 pg, and for 2C nuclei in the sporophytes or the prostrate phases range from 1.15-1.7 pg. Although only the 2C and 4C values were observed in the sporophyte or the prostrate phase, in the vegetative cells of the gametophyte the values oscillated from 1C to 4C, showing the possible start of endopolyploidy. The results confirm the alternation of nuclear phases in these Bonnemaisoniaceae species, in those that have tetrasporogenesis, as well as those that have somatic meiosis. The availability of a consensus phylogenetic tree for Bonnemaisoniaceae has opened the way to determine evolutionary trends in DNA contents. Both the estimated genome sizes and the published chromosome numbers for Bonnemaisoniaceae suggest a narrow range of values consistent with the conservation of an ancestral genome.

Das Landgut Monrepos in Finnland. 1804

Ludwig von Nicolay (1737-1820) oli Strassburgissa syntynyt oppinut, Venäjän hovin kotiopettaja, sittemmin salaneuvos ja Venäjän tiedeakatemian presidentti, tieteen ja taiteen suosija. Von Nicolay hankki itselleen Viipurin lähellä sijaitsevan Monrepos'n kartanon vuonna 1788. Yhdessä erään ystävänsä kanssa hän kokosi kartanoonsa merkittävän, 1700-luvun valistuskulttuuria kuvastavan kirjaston, jonka von Nicolayn jälkeläiset lahjoittivat ensimmäisen maailmansodan aikana Helsingin yliopistolle. Kartanon puistosta von Nicolay kehitti maineikkaan, englantilaistyylisen maisemapuiston. Hän kirjoitti puistosta runoteoksen Das Landgut Monrepos 1804 (St Petersburg 1806), jonka hänen poikansa Paul julkaisi uudelleen vuonna 1840. Tähän teokseen liitettiin ranskalaisen taiteilijan Jean Louis Jacottet'n puistoa esittäviä litografioita, jotka pohjautuivat tanskalaisen Christian Ferdinand Christensenin akvarelleihin.

Sevillian transport jars in early colonial America: the case of Santa María La Antigua del Darién (Colombia)

Within the scope of the TECNOLONIAL (HAR2008-02834/HIST) project, an archaeologi- cal and archaeometric research is being conduct- ed in order to clarify and systematize transport jars production in the Iberian peninsula and their distribution abroad, especially to the Americas, from the 15th to the 17th century. The production centre of Seville, in the Crown of Castile, produced large glazed and unglazed transport jars, called botijas, which were mainly devoted to the Atlantic trade network. The pres- ent study accounts for the first results obtained from an initial sample of 34 transport jars dated around the 15th-16th centuries from the produc- tion centre of Seville and the reception site of Santa María de la Antigua del Darién (gulf of Urabá, Colombia). This latter site is especially significant since it was the first Spanish founda- tion (1510) in continental America that obtained the title of town, and was the seat for the Governor of the new region called Castilla de Oro, as well as for the first diocese. All individuals were analyzed by means of x-ray fluorescence and diffraction analyses and then compared with the majolica production database from Seville. The results enabled us to define the first refer- ence groups for such modern transport jars, and to get a first insight into the jars coming to the Americas in the early 16th century whose prove- nance can be linked to Seville, but not Triana.
