Crayencour, Hadrianus : Construcciones de la figura del imperator caesar en el imaginario homoerótico femenino en la obra de Marguerite Yourcenar

Esta tesis aborda algunos aspectos de la ficción yourcenariana, tomando como centro Memoires d'Hadrien. Dada la polisemia de toda producción ficcional en tanto signo artístico, y a la luz de las múltiples lecturas desde los planos textual y contextual que la teoría literaria contemporánea habilita, he optado fundamentalmente por una perspectiva analítica, critica y transversal como son los estudios de género. Memoires d'Hadrien, es la obra que mas puntualmente representa la construcción de una figura imperial, viril, estoica, que se articula con un cierto modelo en el imaginario femenino, particularmente el de la identidad sexual que prefigura la autora en su construcción autobiográfica. ¿Qué es Yourcenar como signo? La construcción lenta y esforzada de un mito de escritora así como su propio apellido anagramático, como su enunciada internalización o mediación de la figura de Hadrien. Relacionando ficción con construcción de figura de autor, las interrelaciones entre ficción y realidad se transvasan, realizando Yourcenar un manifiesto empaste entre ambos campos: "le discours sur la fiction s'empare du moi ecrivain qui est à son tour fictionalisé". Una construcción de vida en conciencia de la artificiosidad desde la asunción de un rol: escritor, emperador, con las consabidas particulares relaciones con el poder demiúrgico. Los objetivos se centraron en demostrar el transvasamiento de lo factual a lo ficcional en la obra Mémoires d'Hadrien, colocando el centro de la investigación en la "escritura viril" y la construcción del varón estoico como figuras del mito de la autora y del héroe de la novela. Lo novedoso y original de la tesis consiste en iluminar el territorio simbólico de la autora desde el punto de vista de su identidad de genero, atendiendo las claves de su intención escritural, vinculando el plano vital y el plano ficcional como construcciones que deben a una imagen de identificación lesbiana

Researching in ancient engineering physical and chemical analysis in hidraulic roman mortars

Around ten years ago investigation of technical and material construction in Ancient Roma has advanced in favour to obtain positive results. This process has been directed to obtaining some dates based in chemical composition, also action and reaction of materials against meteorological assaults or post depositional displacements. Plenty of these dates should be interpreted as a result of deterioration and damage in concrete material made in one landscape with some kind of meteorological characteristics. Concrete mixture like calcium and gypsum mortars should be analysed in laboratory test programs, and not only with descriptions based in reference books of Strabo, Pliny the Elder or Vitruvius. Roman manufacture was determined by weather condition, landscape, natural resources and of course, economic situation of the owner. In any case we must research the work in every facts of construction. On the one hand, thanks to chemical techniques like X-ray diffraction and Optical microscopy, we could know the granular disposition of mixture. On the other hand if we develop physical and mechanical techniques like compressive strength, capillary absorption on contact or water behaviour, we could know the reactions in binder and aggregates against weather effects. However we must be capable of interpret these results. Last year many analyses developed in archaeological sites in Spain has contributed to obtain different point of view, so has provide new dates to manage one method to continue the investigation of roman mortars. If we developed chemical and physical analysis in roman mortars at the same time, and we are capable to interpret the construction and the resources used, we achieve to understand the process of construction, the date and also the way of restoration in future.

Effects of conservation interventions on the archaeological Roman site of Merida (Spain). Advance of research.

Research on the assessment of the effects of conservation/restoration treatments on stone material has been significant in recent years, with focus on the early observation of decay caused by the application of these treatments. However, in the case of archaeological sites, research is still scarce and few studies on the subject have been published. Restoration, as everything else, has changed according to trends, mainly guided by the release of new products and technologies, an experimental field where scientific assessment of suitability, efficacy and durability pre-evaluations of treatments are not always conducted. Some efforts have been made to solve this problem in the architectural field, where functional needs and technical requirements force to set clear standards. Unfortunately, archaeological sites, unlike historic buildings, have specific features that preclude the extrapolation of these results. A critical review of the methodologies, products and restoration materials is necessary, coupled with deeper research on degradation mechanisms caused by these treatments in the mid- and long-term. The aim of this paper is to introduce the research on the above issues using Merida as a case study.

First steps of Roman Cement in Spain

Natural cement was patented in 1796 but it didn’t arrive in Spain until 1835. No one knows exactly where the production started in Spain, because it emerged independently at the same time in many places. Most of these outbreaks are concentrated in the north and northwest of Spain: Basque Country (Zumaya and Rezola) and Catalonia (San Celoní and San Juan de las Abadesas).Natural cement was extensively used to decorate historical buildings during the nineteenth and beginning of twentieth century in Madrid. It was the building material which realised the architects and builders dreams of mass-produced cast elements in a wide variety of styles. Its arrival replaced traditional materials that were used previously (lime, gypsum and hydraulic limes). However, its use was not extended in time, and soon it was replaced by the use of artificial Portland cements. During 20th century this building material disappeared from use. What remains is it’s memory, in thousands and thousands of “stone witnesses” in our cities. Final properties of the cement largely depend on raw materials used and its combustion temperature. However, it was characterised by an easily implementation on facade masonry, fast-setting (about 15 minutes), good resistance , an agreeable structural consistency and colour.This article aims to show first steps, evolution and decay of Natural Cement Industry in Spain and its application in Madrid.

Comparative analysis for the assessment of restoration treatments on stone material from the roman theater of Merida (Spain)

The overall goal of the project is the study of effects of conservation treatments applied on stone material from archaeological sites, i n terms of superficial changes, effectiveness and durability. In this sense, one of the first premises is characterize the surface of the treated and untreated material in order to determine changes in physical and chemical properties.
