Imagery of Early Christian Rituals in the Greek Physiologus

The paper focuses on the imagery of early Christian rituals (esp. of the eucharist and baptism) as they are found in allegorical interpretations of beasts in the Greek Physiologus and trace the way of selected motifs from the New Testament to this first Christian interpretation of nature in context of early Christian literature and theology. A special attention is given to the pelican, which is one of the most famous symbols of the eucharist, and to impressive baptismal imageries in the chapter on the eagle, on the snake and in some other chapters. The aim of the analysis is to explore the theological roots of the ritual imagery of Physiologus and to show that this work of early Egyptian Christianity is anything but 'unsakramental' as argued by E. Peterson (1959).

El Banquete de Platón como un agón de géneros discursivos

En el presente trabajo me interesa sostener que en el Banquete Platón procura reflejar el carácter agonal propio de la mentalidad griega, a través de la intertextualidad entre géneros discursivos que recorre el diálogo. Desde esta perspectiva, para examinar la naturaleza del éros, se torna necesario confrontar las distintas representaciones intelectuales que sobre él existen, las cuales aparecen plasmadas en los diferentes géneros discursivos de la época (retórica, medicina, comedia, tragedia, filosofía, entre otros)
