“Y vino a consentir, aunque no por su voluntad que tuviese sus ayuntamientos libidinosos con ella” : sobre los raptos femeninos ejecutados por animales en la literatura española

Resumen: Son numerosas las fuentes literarias que dan cuenta de los raptos de doncellas llevados a cabo por animales, de cuya unión se desprenden a su vez los nacimientos monstruosos de niños que reciben cualidades de su padre-animal, tanto físicamente como en su carácter, aunque en ocasiones lleguen a conservar en gran parte su apariencia antropomórfica. Historias de este tipo se propagan durante los siglos xv y xvi en libros de misceláneas y casos extraños, pero continúan aún vivos en los siglos posteriores, cuando adquieren nuevas formas y variantes a través del folklore, la narrativa y la lírica popular. Analizaremos particularmente los raptos ejecutados por el oso y el simio, dos animales en los que el hombre del Medioevo vio especialmente la lujuria.

Antonio Candido, leitor de poesia fin-de-siècle

Este artigo objetiva, a partir de estudos de Antonio Candido voltados para a poesia lírica fin-de-siècle, brasileira e francesa, rastrear o modo pelo qual o autor articula Simbolismo e Modernismo. Tal veio do pensamento estético e crítico-teórico de Candido (com a respectiva prática analítica de textos poéticos) não foi tão valorizado quanto os eixos “árcade/romântico” e “modernista” que fundamentam sua vasta obra. No entanto, revela-se da maior importância na medida em que confi gura um “eixo intermediário” propício a uma nova apreciação do Simbolismo no Brasil.

Patterns of Transcendence : Classical Myth in Marina Tsvetaeva's Poetry of the 1920s

This study examines the position and meaning of Classical mythological plots, themes and characters in the oeuvre of the Russian Modernist poet Marina Tsvetaeva (1892-1941). The material consists of lyric poems from the collection Posle Rossii (1928) and two longer lyrical tragedies, Ariadna (1924) and Fedra (1927). These works are examined in the context of Russian Modernism and Tsvetaeva s own poetic development, also taking into account the author s biography, namely, her correspondence with Boris Pasternak. Tsvetaeva s appropriations of the myths enter into a dialogue with the Classical tradition and with the earlier Russian and Western literary manifestations of the source material. Her Classical texts are inextricably linked with her own authorial myth, they are used to project both her ideas about poetry as well as the authored self of her poems. An important context for Tsvetaeva s application of the Classical myths is the concept of the Platonic ladder of Eros. This plot evokes the process of transcendence of the mortal subject into the immaterial realm and is applied by the author as an extended metaphor of the poet s birth. Emphasizing the dialectical movement between the earthly and the divine, Tsvetaeva s Classical personae foreground various positions of the individual between these two realms. By means of kaleidoscopic reformulations of similar metaphors and concepts, Tsvetaeva s mythological poems illustrate the poet s position between the material and the immaterial and the various consequences of this dichotomy on the creative mission. At the heart of Tsvetaeva s appropriation of the Sibyl, Phaedra, Eurydice and Ariadne is the tension between the body and disembodiment. The two lyrical tragedies develop the dichotomous worldview further, nevertheless emphasizing the dual perspective of the divine and the earthly realms: immaterial existence is often evaluated from a material perspective and vice versa. The Platonic subtext is central for Ariadna, focussing on Theseus development from an earthly hero to a spiritual one. Fedra concentrates on Phaedra s divinely induced physical passion, which is nevertheless evoked in a creative light.

THE GALICIAN-PORTUGUESE LYRIC AND THE 17TH-CENTURY LOVE POETRY: ARTS OF LOVE, SONGS AND WRITTEN SONGS

In this paper, we discuss important echoes of Galician-Portuguese lyric that remain in the 17th-century love lyric poetry produced in Portugal. In order to achieve this main objective, we highlight some specificities of the troubadours’ lyric and of the 17th-century poetry, particularly the fundamentally musical character of the troubadours’ songs as opposed to the fundamentally written character of the 17th-century poems. This contrast indicates that they are compositions from different times (predominantly the 13th and the 17th centuries) and produced according to distinct poetic conceptions. However, they are compositions which are also similar in many ways, and whose similarities, especially regarding the lyrical genre, point to similar quests for perfect practice of love, outlining “arts of love” understood as unsystematic precepts of loving which are practiced in poetry. In this article, we intend to show that these poetic loves are technically conceived and, as historical constructs, they differ from each other, since they are characterized by their peculiar moments of achievement. However, they are not isolated in the time. As mentioned above, the troubadours’ songs are essentially musical while the 17th-century poems, as indicated by the prevalent poetic preceptive in their time, are essentially written. Nevertheless, those trobar songs reverberate in these poems (“written songs”) and in both kinds we read and listen to similar precepts of love, as though we were in labyrinths of love echoes with no way out.
