La publicidad, herramienta promocional del centro de anuncios Roldós y Compañía (1872-1900)

El nacimiento de los primeros centros de anuncios en España data de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX. Uno de ellos es Roldós y Compañía. En un período en el que la publicidad es una actividad incipiente, los primeros profesionales recurren a lo que mejor saben hacer para darse a conocer: anuncios. A través del estudio de la autopublicidad de esta agencia realizada durante las últimas décadas del siglo XIX no solo veremos el progresivo desarrollo de este tipo de piezas (formal y de contenidos) sino también la evolución de todos los agentes que participan en la actividad: agencia, anunciantes y medios de comunicación. En este contexto, el centro de anuncios hace las veces de anunciante y de agencia. Es decir, ejerce una triple función: es el emisor del mensaje y es, a la vez, quien lo confecciona y quien gestiona su inserción en los medios. La historia de la publicidad se escribe junto a la agencia Roldós y Compañía. Por tanto su autopublicidad es un fiel reflejo de todo cuanto ha ocurrido en España desde el nacimiento de la profesión hasta finales del siglo XIX, un período caracterizado por la frecuente presencia de este tipo de anuncios en la prensa escrita del momento.

Daughter of Eve, "Femme Fatale", and Persecuted Artist: The Mythic Transgressive Woman in Oscar Wilde's and Richard Strauss's "Salome"

Historically, Salome was an unexceptional figure who never catalyzed John the Baptist's death. However, in Christian Scripture, she becomes the dancing seductress as fallen daughter of Eve.  Her stepfather Herod promises Salome his kingdom if she dances for him, but she follows her mother’s wish to have John beheaded. In Strauss’s opera, after Wilde's Symbolist-Decadent play, Salome becomes independent of Herodias’ will, and the mythic avatar of the femme fatale and persecuted artist who Herod has killed after she kisses John's severed head.  Her signature key of C# major, resolving to the C major sung by Herod and Jokanaan at her death, represent her tragic fate musically.
