Indagación edípica e ironía trágica: el modelo sofocleo en Cat on a Hot Tin Roof de Tennessee Williams

Dado que el referente clásico "Edipo en busca de su identidad" ha sido siempre reconocido para Suddenly Last Summer , el autor de este artículo, mediante un análisis minucioso del texto del dramaturgo americano, propone leer en este caso Cat on a Hot Tin Roof desde el modelo Edipo Rey de Sófocles y descubrir en él igualmente la tradicional ironía clásica tanto desde el punto de vista del espectador como de los mismos personajes principales, Brick y su padre, ambos en busca de su verdad, una verdad, claro está, contraria a la esperada.

Albert Lewin. Pandora and the Flying Dutchman: the Semiologic Potential of a Greek Myth

Albert Lewin, a well-known Hollywood cinema director who is significantly influenced by the surrealistic movement, brings together the myth f Pandora and the legend of the flying Dutchman in order to create an exemplary love story, a crazy love story which goes beyond the limits of human reason. Bearing in mind, then, that if one wants to believe in this sort of love story must not be guided by human reason stricto sensu, he builds a world of signs, a semiologic world which this article aims at helping to interpret.

Greek misogynist tradition in Andreas Capellanus's De amore

The title of this brief article quite clearly illustrates its aims and evident limitations. In principle, a search for a Greek basis of the misogynist content of Andreas Capellanus's De amore is likely to lead researchers to focus on analysis of the sources -Greek sources, of course. However, there is no doubt that Ovid, the most frequently quoted ancient author, in this case the structural source, above all his Ars Amatoria, Remedia Amoris and Heroides, which is quite logical in light of the remarkable presence and influence of Ovid's works throughout that time. There was also a good knowledge of the works of Cicero, Virgil, Horace and Juvenal. However, other classical authors, even the Greeks -those who were known then-, were undoubtedly read in the schools, but the knowledge of their works was certainly superficial. Furthermore, given the scholastic method followed in De amore, it would be absurd not to consider the use of many quotations that appeared in the Compendia and in handbooks of religious instruction.

Indagació edípica i ironia tràgica: el model sofocleu a Cat on a Hot Tin Roof de Tennessee Williams

Atès que el referent clàssic "Èdip en cerca de la seva identitat" ha estat sempre reconegut per a Suddenly Last Summer, l'autor d'aquest article, mitjançant una anàlisi acurada del text del dramaturg americà, proposa de llegir en aquest cas Can on a Hot tin Roof des del model Èdip Rei de Sòfocles i descobrir-hi igualment la tradicional ironia clàssica tant des del punt de vista de l'espectador com dels mateixos personatges principals, Brick i el seu pare, ambdós en cerca de la seva veritat, una veritat, és clar, contrària a la que esperaven.

John Addington Symonds. A Problem in Greek Ethics. Plutarch's Eroticus quoted only in some footnotes? Why?

It is certainly astonishing that an innovating study about the Greek pederasty in England like the one by John Addington Symonds does not quote Plutarch's Eroticus -in fact, it is only cited in some footnotes-, if one bears in mind that this dialogue is an accurate philosophical reflection on Greek eros, in which very often significant ethical themes are approached. The aim of this article is just to reveal the different reasons for such an omission.

John Addington Symonds. A Problem in Greek Ethics. ¿El Erótico de Plutarco reducido a algunas notas a pie de página? ¿Por qué?

Resulta sorprendente que un estudio pionero en Inglaterra sobre la pederastia griega como el de John Addington Symonds no cite el Erótico de Plutarco, excepción hecha de en algunas notas a pie de página, siendo como es este dialogo una seria reflexión filosófica sobre el eros griego, en que a menudo se abordan cuestiones éticas. El objetivo de este artículo es revelar justamente las razones de índole diversa para una tal omisión.

John Addington Symonds. A Problem in Greek Ethics. ¿L'Eròtic de Plutarc reduït a algunes notes a peu de pàgina? Per què?

Resulta sorprenent que un estudi pioner a Anglaterra sobre la pederàstia grega como el de John Addington Symonds no citi l'Eròtic de Plutarc, llevat de en algunes notes a peu de pàgina, essent com és aquest diàleg una seriosa reflexió filosòfica sobre l'eros grec, en què sovint s'aborden qüestions ètiques. L'objectiu d'aquest article és revelar justament les raons d'índole diversa per a una tal omissió.

El démon: la inteligencia en el mundo

From Hesiod on, Gctiywv denotes a passionate figure, useful to ffee divinity from the charge of evil. Plutarch conceives Gaiywv as an active and changeable entity between God and rnatter; he must complete a catharsis that makes him better (more akin to God; Being in a higher degree). The task of Gaiyov is to take care of oracles and to guide human lives. If this task has been done correctly, Gaipov ascends to the sun; if not, he falls down to the earth.

Mitotic figure counts are overrated in resection specimen of invasive breast carcinoma

In order for some patients to benefit from aggressive chemotherapy for invasive breast carcinoma, many patients are currently being treated without little or no benefit. Enormous effort is hence being directed towards the identification of those patients who will need chemotherapy and those who will not. Since chemotherapy targets proliferating cells pathologists focus on the proliferative activity of tumors, as assessed by mitotic figure counts or by cell cycle specific immunohistochemical markers, such as Ki-67 and H3 histone. As far as the tumor grade is concerned, many of these studies have reported a tendency to up-grade carcinomas in resection specimen when compared to the initial diagnosis on the biopsy material, and most studies have noted that the upgrade in resection specimen is due solely or to a large extent to an increase in the mitotic figure count. In the present study, we propose a different explanation for the divergence in mitotic figure counts between biopsy and resection material. We assessed the proliferative activity of 52 invasive ductal carcinomas and confirm that the number of mitotic figures significantly increased by a factor of more than 3 in resection specimen over the biopsy material, while at the same time the pan-cell cycle specific marker MIB-1 yieldes comparable results. we propose that the delayed formalin fixation of resection specimen allows cell cycle activities to continue for a long time, up to many hours, and that this leads to an arrest of mitoses in metaphase where they are readily identified by the pathologist. We propose that the mitotic figure count in the rapidly fixed biopsy cores better represent the tumor biology and should be used as a basis for chemotherapy therapeutic decisions.
