El objetivo de este artículo es el estudio de la poesía de María Sánchez desde una perspectiva ecofeminista. En particular, se interpreta su libro Cuaderno de – con el apoyo de su última obra, el ensayo Tierra de mujeres – como un intento de creación de una nueva voz femenina a través de la transgresión de esquemas discursivos aceptados. Específicamente, se prestará particular atención a cómo la poesía puede ‘sabotear’ el discurso científico con el objetivo de construir una nueva narrativa que supere el establecimiento de relaciones basadas en la dominación y la explotación del mundo natural. De hecho, desde su cercanía a la naturaleza, esta voz reclama una nueva identidad que, a partir de la ética del cuidado, desvele el mundo como una red en la que cada ser viviente depende de los demás.

This article proposes a new theoretical approach to the study of literary symbolism, using Relevance Theory, Lexical Pragmatics, and second-generation cognitive sciences. It argues that the meaning of a literary symbol consists of the tension between a "literal" meaning and an unparaphrasable abstract meaning. Furthermore, it maintains that the literary symbol requires a specific communicative context, called "symbolic reading". This theoretical framework is applied to the analysis of the works of Juan Eduardo Cirlot, with special attention to his permutation poetry. [Extracted from the article]

The main goal of this paper is the analysis of the language ideologies that Arturo Pérez Reverte supports in the opinion pieces that he publishes weekly in XL Semanal. From his position of discursive privilege, the writer and academician endorses a panhispanic perspective that is ambiguously linked to Spanish Nationalism. From this point of view, Spanish is at the same time a meeting point for a large group of people in a postnational context and a dominant lengua común among the languages spoken in Spain. Regarding linguistic change, Pérez Reverte supports with violence the authority of the Real Academia Española and denies legitimacy to other possibilities of change, which are presented as linked with ephemeral political interests.

Lorenzo üliván understands poetry as a pursuit of knowledge through a lucid gaze on everyday world. With this starting point, this paper aims to study the role of the body in his latest works. We will pay special attention to the relations between body and identity and to the meaning of pain in his poetry. Last, we will focus on his understanding of the skin as an palimpsest of life experiences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
