416 p., La aplicación de la Constitución de Cádiz en Cuba durante los períodos de 1812-1814 y 1820-1823 supuso la implementación de una nueva organización político-administrativa y la celebración de elecciones democráticas. Al mismo tiempo, la libertad de prensa concitó un amplio debate en la opinión pública, especialmente en La Habana. Estos procesos afloraron una serie de tensiones: de carácter territorial entre el centro político de la isla y las periferias, entre sectores sociales, grupos de interés económico, etc. Desde el punto de vista territorial las élites locales del interior del país se resistieron al nuevo centralismo liberal y a la hegemonía de La Habana como capital de facto. Al interior de la ciudad, un grupo de descontentos con el ¿pacto colonial¿ aprovechó el contexto constitucional para atacar a las élites agroexportadoras y acceder a las nuevas instituciones de gobierno. En los distritos del interior, las elecciones constitucionales revelan antiguas y nuevas diferencias en el seno de las elites locales, hasta ahora casi desconocidas por la historiografía. El análisis de conjunto de estos procesos revelan una realidad socio-política de la Cuba de las primeras décadas del XIX mucho más compleja de lo que refleja la historiografía a propósito de la ¿siempre fiel¿ o la excepcionalidad cubana.El trabajo se fundamenta en un amplio acopio de documentación de archivo (Archivo Histórico Nacional, Archivo General de Indias, Archivo Nacional de Cuba, entre otros), prensa del periodo y otros fuentes primarias editadas, así como en una abundante bibliografía. Se han manejado las herramientas teóricas y metodológicas de la ¿nueva historia política¿, prosopografía, historia de redes y de la historia conceptual. El trabajo viene a concluir, entre otras coas, que la aplicación de la Constitución gaditana en Cuba provocó una movilización sin precedentes que abrió la sociedad de la Antilla a la modernidad política

343 p., The linguistic expression of conceptual representations can pose considerable difficulties for foreign language learners. Such lack of conceptual fluency can be explained by the interaction of many factors, and amongst the most prevalent ones are those caused by processes of crosslinguistic influence, i.e., the effect that a previously learned language exerts on the use of another one. This research project aims to explore meaning related aspects of the influence, specifically L1 tendencies at the conceptual level. The thesis thus contributes to a better understanding of the phenomenon known as conceptual transfer. Additionally, the project aims to provide new insights to researchers, instructors, and learners of English and Spanish as foreign languages in England, Spain, and Norway, where both languages are widely learned within formal education settings. To carry out this investigation, several corpora of written narratives were elicited and compiled. The elicitation instrument was a picture story that participants in the project had to use as a prompt in a retelling task. The participants were students of English or Spanish in upper-secondary schools of the three countries where the data was collected, and their average age was 16.43 years. Following a balanced protocol, they were asked to produce narratives in all their languages, which allowed for crosslinguistic comparisons within and across groups. The thesis relied on theoretical frameworks from Cognitive Linguistics such as Leonard Talmy¿s Cognitive Semantics and Charles Fillmore's Frame Semantics, as well as on the framework for the investigation of conceptual transfer proposed by Scott Jarvis and Aneta Pavlenko.Many of the participants' conceptualization patterns were found to be L1 specific, and they often influenced the production of their foreign language narratives in various regards. These included the selection of what to explicitly mention, the conceptual framing of the selected content, and the se

Se presenta la memoria de las excavaciones desarrolladas durante 2023 en las Termas Orientales de La Alcudia (Elche, Alicante).

This paper offers an analysis of a group of glazed ceramics that comes from El Tolmo de Minateda site and have been dated in the second half of the ninth century and beginning of the tenth century, before the proclamation of the Umayyad Caliphate by Abderraman III (929 CE). Three technological groups have been distinguished: transparent glazes of one or two colours, transparent polychrome glazes (represented by two pieces) and opaque polychrome glazes (represented by two ceramics) studied by SEM-EDS analysis. After the study, different al-Andalus glaze workshops have been identified as providers of glazed ware to El Tolmo de Minateda site. The initial hypothesis was that the ware consumed in El Tolmo was manufactured in Pechina, the closest early production centre. However, after the archaeometric analysis, it has been discarded, and all the indications of this study seem to point to Córdoba as a significant supplier. The data of this study provides a new perspective on how the internal regional distribution and marketing of goods took place in Al-Andalus during the late Emiral period (c. 875–929 CE), a subject that has yet to be explored.

Around 120 years ago, a burial was discovered in the Argaric settlement of San Antón, 60 km southeast of Alicante (Spain). Although it was similar to many others recorded during more than a century of research, some gold objects found made this burial exceptional in the Iberian Bronze Age funerary record. Based on the most recent archaeological data, this article reviews both the context and the whole set of grave goods. It also explores the intersocial relationships that these gold ornaments suggest, which directly or indirectly seem to point towards both eastern Mediterranean Europe as well as to the Carpathian Basin.

Una modesta intervención arqueológica, vinculada a la conocida como arqueología preventiva, ha proporcionado el hallazgo de un lote de cerámicas antiguas de indudable interés y cierta trascendencia, en el cerro de Santa Ana de Caudete. Gracias a ello, conocemos con datos empíricos la naturaleza de un asentamiento hasta ahora no excavado. Y también se demuestra la necesidad de establecer protocolos de control de actuaciones urbanas sobre cualquier tipo de evidencia del Patrimonio Histórico. La excavación arqueológica permite asegurar que, con un muy alto grado de probabilidad, parte del antiguo asentamiento todavía subsiste por la umbría del cerro y puede ser ampliamente excavado, por lo que en un futuro podría convertirse en un referente patrimonial de valor social de primer orden. Si próximos planes de actuación en la zona siguen los pasos ahora dados, podremos contar con un bien arqueológico relevante para conocer el fin del mundo ibérico ante la llegada de Roma. El registro cerámico supone para la arqueología un documento de un valor incuestionable cuando pretendemos acercarnos al conocimiento de las sociedades protohistóricas. Esto queda de relieve en estas líneas para las que la exhumación de un modesto pero elocuente conjunto cerámico nos ha permitido releer y ampliar el conocimiento sobre el yacimiento de Santa Ana. De este modo, partiendo de este registro y de las variables aportadas por el estudio de su territorio circundante, hemos podido profundizar en la lectura del poblamiento ibérico situado en este sector de la cabecera del río Vinalopó y su conexión con otros nichos geográficos cercanos., A small archaeological survey performed within a preventive archaeology intervention has led to the discovery of a batch of ancient ceramics of undoubted interest and of some significance on the Santa Ana hill in Caudete. Therefore, we now have empirical data on the nature of an unexcavated settlement. Also, this research demonstrates the need to establish protocols for the control of urban interventions on any type of Historical Heritage evidence. From the archaeological excavation it is possible to confirm with a very high degree of probability that part of the ancient settlement still survives on the shaded side of the hill and can be extensively excavated becoming a first-rate heritage reference of high social value in the future. If future urban planning in the area follows the steps that are now being taken, we will have a relevant archaeological asset to learn about the end of the Iberian world with the arrival of Rome. The ceramic record is a document of unquestionable value for archaeology when we try to approach the knowledge of protohistoric societies. This is specially highlighted in this paper by the exhumation of a modest but eloquent ceramic ensemble has allowed us to reread and contribute to the knowledge of the Santa Ana site. Hence, starting from this record and the variables provided by the study of its surrounding territory, we have been able to deep in the understanding of this Iberian settlement located at the head of the Vinalopó river and its connection with other nearby geographic units.

Aneuploidies, and in particular, trisomies represent the most common genetic aberrations observed in human genetics today. To explore the presence of trisomies in historic and prehistoric populations we screen nearly 10,000 ancient human individuals for the presence of three copies of any of the target autosomes. We find clear genetic evidence for six cases of trisomy 21 (Down syndrome) and one case of trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome), and all cases are present in infant or perinatal burials. We perform comparative osteological examinations of the skeletal remains and find overlapping skeletal markers, many of which are consistent with these syndromes. Interestingly, three cases of trisomy 21, and the case of trisomy 18 were detected in two contemporaneous sites in early Iron Age Spain (800-400 BCE), potentially suggesting a higher frequency of burials of trisomy carriers in those societies. Notably, the care with which the burials were conducted, and the items found with these individuals indicate that ancient societies likely acknowledged these individuals with trisomy 18 and 21 as members of their communities, from the perspective of burial practice.

In this paper, we present the long-term occupation of the Perputxent Valley with the purpose of exploring the factors that could explain the long-lasting and trans-cultural occupation of resilient sites and landscapes for nearly two millennia. The first part describes the archaeological research carried out based on remote sensing and intensive coverage survey methods and geoarchaeological analysis. The characterisation of the intensive agricultural uses has been studied from the geochemical analysis of the soil and sedimentary record. The objective is to reconstruct the palaeoenvironmental processes and the possible evidence of the agricultural practices. This research has identified the residential spaces, the sites and the agrarian land-uses, especially intensive farmlands. The second part analyses the evidence of this long-term settlements in the context of the archaeological, ethnographic and historical record of the region. Understanding these practices of agriculture and land-use can contribute to understandings of what makes societies sustainable.

Research on ancient warfare, weaponry, and the warrior condition in the Mediterranean region necessarily involves the study of the Greek world. This field should be a subject to an analysis of archaeological, iconographic, and historical data, and should even have the ability to consider other aspects, hitherto little dealt with, such as technological, ergonomic or symbolic ones. Although this seems obvious, it is far from the usual practice. This paper focusses on the example of ancient warfare studies, in order to draw attention to the frequent failure by literature-based historians to give proper weight to the rapidly increasing evidence provided by archaeological discoveries and studies, though the failures are not entirely one-sided. By proposing this reflection, we aim to stimulate discussion on this topic and, much more importantly, to motivate scholars to join forces and seek the necessary means of collaboration.

Se puede definir la arqueozoología como el estudio de los restos animales en su relación con el ser humano en contextos pasados. De esta forma, contempla el estudio de la fauna que, asociada a contextos arqueológicos, se puede conocer a través de sus restos, no solo óseos, sino también cualquier otra evidencia que tenga relación con los depósitos animales. La arqueozoología se puede diferenciar claramente de la paleontología en tanto la primera se ocupa del estudio de las relaciones entre los animales y los humanos, mientras que en la segunda el objeto de estudio trata de una disciplina plenamente descriptiva en cuanto a la evolución de las especies animales a partir del registro geológico. Durante el desarrollo de este trabajo fin de máster (TFM) emplearemos la metodología y las técnicas arqueozoológicas para analizar un caso de estudio específico: Cabezo Redondo (Villena, Alicante). Este yacimiento aporta un amplio conjunto de ventajas para el análisis arqueozoológico. En primer lugar, los restos óseos aparecen bien conservados, especialmente en los numerosos depósitos interpretados como 'basureros'. Por otra parte, al ser un sitio multiestratificado, permite observar la evolución diacrónica de la gestión ganadera y las prácticas cinegéticas. Para el desarrollo del TFM se ha seleccionado uno de estos contextos de basurero, procedente del relleno inferior de una de las construcciones del yacimiento, donde se acopiaron una gran cantidad de restos óseos. Al tratarse de basura, es decir, un depósito secundario, se puede determinar el carácter aleatorio de esta deposición, por lo que puede ser resultado de la mezcla de muchas acciones, no reflejando ningún tipo de intencionalidad por parte de la comunidad humana que vivió en Cabezo Redondo. Debemos tener en cuenta que las deposiciones secundarias también nos aportan, si cabe, más información.

Malaria-causing protozoa of the genus Plasmodium have exerted one of the strongest selective pressures on the human genome, and resistance alleles provide biomolecular footprints that outline the historical reach of these species1. Nevertheless, debate persists over when and how malaria parasites emerged as human pathogens and spread around the globe1,2. To address these questions, we generated high-coverage ancient mitochondrial and nuclear genome-wide data from P. falciparum, P. vivax and P. malariae from 16 countries spanning around 5,500 years of human history. We identified P. vivax and P. falciparum across geographically disparate regions of Eurasia from as early as the fourth and first millennia bce, respectively; for P. vivax, this evidence pre-dates textual references by several millennia3. Genomic analysis supports distinct disease histories for P. falciparum and P. vivax in the Americas: similarities between now-eliminated European and peri-contact South American strains indicate that European colonizers were the source of American P. vivax, whereas the trans-Atlantic slave trade probably introduced P. falciparum into the Americas. Our data underscore the role of cross-cultural contacts in the dissemination of malaria, laying the biomolecular foundation for future palaeo-epidemiological research into the impact of Plasmodium parasites on human history. Finally, our unexpected discovery of P. falciparum in the high-altitude Himalayas provides a rare case study in which individual mobility can be inferred from infection status, adding to our knowledge of cross-cultural connectivity in the region nearly three millennia ago.

The Roman villa of Rufio, built on the Augustan period, was occupied until the end of the 1st-beginning of 2nd century AD. This paper addresses one of the most fundamental, yet frequently almost invisible, part of the architectural forms of this complex, its structures erected with earth. Their study allows to interpret that they would have been rammed earth walls. This building technique can be difficult to identify in archaeological contexts and is not among the most highlighted in Roman architecture. Even though, it is known to have been applied throughout the Empire and also in different sites of the Italian Peninsula. The characteristics shown by the architectural remains of this villa during its excavation can be linked with seismic activity, being in a territory of high seismic risk where earthen architecture, together with other building elements, could have played a role in this during Roman times. The use of massive earth walls, the adoption of other building techniques and elements and a series of damages, displacements and deformations can be interpreted in a sequence of building phases, possibly motivated by different seismic events., La villa romaine de Rufio, construite à l’époque augustéenne, a été occupée jusqu’à la fin du Ier siècle-début du IIe siècle de notre ère. Cet article aborde l’une des parties les plus fondamentales, mais souvent presque invisibles, des formes architecturales de ce complexe, à savoir ses structures érigées en terre. Leur étude laisse supposer qu’il s’agissait de murs en terre battue. Cette technique de construction peut être difficile à identifier dans les contextes archéologiques, et ne figure pas parmi les plus mises en valeur dans l’architecture romaine. Pourtant, on sait qu’elle a été utilisée dans tout l’Empire et dans différents sites de la péninsule italienne. Les caractéristiques montrées par les vestiges architecturaux de cette villa lors de sa fouille peuvent être liées à l’activité sismique, étant donné qu’elle se trouve dans un territoire à haut risque sismique où l’architecture en terre, ainsi que d’autres éléments de construction, pourraient avoir joué un rôle dans ce sens au cours de l’époque romaine. L’utilisation de murs de terre massifs, l’adoption d’autres techniques et éléments de construction et une série de dommages, de déplacements et de déformations peuvent être interprétées comme une séquence de phases de construction, peut-être motivées par différents événements sismiques.

El trabajo presenta el estudio de un sillar de esquina decorado con volutas que forma parte de la actual colección del Museo Íbero de Jaén. La pieza, hallada fuera de contexto en la ladera oriental del oppidum de Giribaile (Vilches, Jaén) fue publicada de forma preliminar en 1998. Ahora, gracias a su escaneo en 3D y digitalización, se presenta un estudio más completo que incluye un ensayo de restitución de la pieza, su análisis arqueológico y una propuesta de datación coincidente con la última fase de vida del yacimiento., In this paper, the study of a corner ashlar decorated with volutes is presented. The piece is currently part of the collection of the Museo Íbero of Jaén. This architectural element, found out of context on the eastern face of the oppidum of Giribaile (Vilches, Jaén) was published in a succinct form in 1998. Now, thanks to the 3D scanning and digitalisation, a more complete study is presented. This includes a trial restitution of the piece, its archaeological analysis and a proposed dating. This date coincides with the last phase of the archaeological site.

En el presente artículo se analiza el poblamiento de la Edad del Bronce (2150-1500 cal BC) en las cordilleras prebéticas, empleando como caso de estudio el corredor Yecla-Caudete. A partir de variables espaciales como el análisis del lugar de emplazamiento, área de captación, visibilidad, tamaño superficial y la distribución territorial de un conjunto de 33 yacimientos, se determina un patrón uniforme de ocupación del territorio entre los asentamientos de mayor tamaño y agrupado de los de menor tamaño en torno a los anteriores. Con estas características se puede inferir que las comunidades del Prebético efectuaron una ocupación plenamente organizada del territorio, asegurándose la autosostenibilidad económica y la transmisión generacional de las propiedades., This article analyzes the Bronze Age settlement (2150-1500 cal BC) in the pre-Baetic mountain ranges, based on a case study such as the Yecla-Caudete corridor and the set of studies carried out in this geographical area. The analysis of the location, catchment area, visibility, surface size and territorial distribution of a set of 33 sites, a uniform pattern of occupation of the territory is determined among the larger settlements and grouped, but random, of the smaller ones around the previous ones. These characteristics it can be inferred that the Prebético communities carried out a fully organized occupation of the territory, ensuring economic self-sustainability and the generational transmission of properties.

Resolving the timescale of human activity in the Palaeolithic Age is one of the most challenging problems in prehistoric archaeology. The duration and frequency of hunter-gatherer camps reflect key aspects of social life and human–environment interactions. However, the time dimension of Palaeolithic contexts is generally inaccurately reconstructed because of the limitations of dating techniques1, the impact of disturbing agents on sedimentary deposits2 and the palimpsest effect3,4. Here we report high-resolution time differences between six Middle Palaeolithic hearths from El Salt Unit X (Spain) obtained through archaeomagnetic and archaeostratigraphic analyses. The set of hearths covers at least around 200–240 years with 99% probability, having decade- and century-long intervals between the different hearths. Our results provide a quantitative estimate of the time framework for the human occupation events included in the studied sequence. This is a step forward in Palaeolithic archaeology, a discipline in which human behaviour is usually approached from a temporal scale typical of geological processes, whereas significant change may happen at the smaller scales of human generations. Here we reach a timescale close to a human lifespan.

La villa de El Pla de Nadal, ubicada en Riba-roja de Túria (Valencia) constituye un ejemplo singular de conjunto arquitectónico residencial, paradigmático del estamento aristocrático de la Antigüedad tardía. Su cronología de época visigoda, su singular morfología y su riqueza ornamental, con más de 800 piezas decoradas (con trifolios, veneras, roleos e incluso un anagrama), lo hacen prácticamente único. Esta aportación analiza el conjunto y sus eventuales interpretaciones como residencia rural privilegiada, villa o villula, villa áulica o palacio, pero sobre todo, a la luz de los datos arqueológicos realmente contrastados en sus excavaciones, cuestiona el relato construido en torno a su atribución y las implicaciones históricas, arqueológicas y sociológicas provocadas por su mistificación. Se reflexiona sobre el rigor en la construcción del dato arqueológico y en la transferencia científica., The Villa of El Pla de Nadal, located in Riba-roja de Túria (Valencia), is a unique example of a residential architectural complex, paradigmatic of the aristocratic class of Late Antiquity. Its Visigoth chronology, its unique morphology and its rich ornamentation, with more than 800 decorated pieces (with trifolias, veneras, scrolls and even an anagram) make it practically unique. This article analyses the complex and its possible interpretations as a privileged rural residence, a villa or villula, an aulic villa or a palace, but above all, in the light of the archaeological data actually verified during its excavation, it questions the story constructed around its attribution and the historical, archaeological and sociological implications caused by its mystification. It reflects on the rigour in the construction of archaeological data and in scientific transfer.

Recycling was an activity carried out by ancient hunter-gatherer populations. It has been demonstrated by many studies on this matter. However, there are main issues in relation to it that are still under debate: what we call recycling, how we identify it, and what implications it has for the technoeconomic dynamics of these groups. In order to contribute to this topic, we present here the Neandertal flint materials from the stratigraphic unit viii of the El Salt rockshelter (Alcoi, Alacant, eastern Iberia). We have selected a series of artifacts exhibiting time-dependent postgenetic alterations (i.e. white patinas and thermal alteration) that affect previous technical intervention and, additionally, display subsequent anthropogenic actions that reveal an intermediate stage between the initial and the second use. The data obtained point to a principal relationship of recycling with mobility dynamics, and entail implications for Neandertal lithic technology and provisioning.

El presente estudio tiene como objetivo examinar los episodios de matronas romanas actuando en colectivo en el espacio público. Estos se encuentran presentes en la literatura grecolatina y se persigue descubrir si están respaldados por la realidad epigráfica. A diferencia de investigaciones previas, se busca establecer un diálogo entre ambas fuentes para comprender el origen, funcionalidad y finalidad de estos grupos. Pretendemos determinar si realmente podemos hablar de un colectivo matronal que estaba organizado y estructurado y si, en algún momento, actuó de manera institucional, aunque fuese al margen de la oficialidad estatal. De esta manera, se espera contribuir al conocimiento de la vida y las oportunidades de las mujeres, especialmente las de la élite romana, en el espacio cívico, así como a sus relaciones con los hombres de su mismo rango social. A través de este análisis intentamos proporcionar conclusiones novedosas sobre la organización del ordo matronarum., The present study aims to examine episodes of Roman matrons acting collectively in public spaces. These episodes are found in Greco-Roman literature, and the goal is to determine if they are supported by epigraphic evidence. In contrast to previous research, this study seeks to establish a dialogue between both sources to comprehend the origin, functionality, and purpose of these groups. We intend to ascertain whether we can truly speak of an organized and structured matronal collective that may have acted institutionally, albeit outside the scope of official state recognition. In this manner, we aim to contribute to the understanding of the lives and opportunities of women, particularly those of the Roman elite, within the civic sphere, as well as their relationships with men of the same social rank. Through this analysis, we endeavour to provide novel insights into the organization of the ordo matronarum.

Se expone de manera sintética el proceso de estudio de objetos sin contexto tomando como ejemplo el caso de los cascos celtibéricos dispersos en el mercado anticuario internacional. Partiendo de la experiencia personal se presenta el concepto de “descontextualizado” y los distintos grados de descontextualización y se analizan los riesgos o la problemática del estudio de este tipo de piezas. Para ello atenderemos a los principios y reticencias de aquellos planteamientos que rechazan completamente cualquier tipo de contacto con piezas del mercado anticuario, pero también las de aquellos que de manera completamente opuesta han decidido ponerlos en valor y valoraremos los beneficios del estudio puntual de piezas descontextualizadas tanto para el conocimiento específico de esos objetos como para el estudio de la cultura antigua a la que pertenecen y su relevancia en el contexto contemporáneo particular en el que se han comercializado y coleccionado., This paper summarises the process of studying objects without context, taking as an example the case of Celtiberian helmets scattered on the international antiquities market. On the basis of personal experience, we explain what is meant by “decontextualised” and the different degrees of decontextualisation, and what it means to undertake the study of this type of piece. Recent scholarship has approached to this problem with different attitudes: some reject the study of objects from the antiquities market, others have chosen to value them in a completely opposite way; The discourse discusses the benefits of the occasional study of decontextualised pieces. Both for the specific knowledge of these specific objects, for the study of the ancient culture to which they belong and, and necessarily, for the contemporary context that has removed, traded and collected them.

Se presenta en este trabajo un conjunto inédito de elementos arquitectónicos, en concreto cornisas de gola, procedentes del área denominada ‘Inquisición Grande’ (Rojales, Alicante), documentadas en unas recientes prospecciones desarrolladas en la comarca natural del Bajo Segura. Estos nuevos datos posibilitan un conocimiento más completo de la arquitectura monumental ibérica, así como de su polisemia y usos en el territorio de implantación, que exceden a los exclusivamente funerarios. El lugar de su aparición, además, permite ponerlos en relación con un conjunto de escultura ibérica aparecido durante la guerra civil y estudiado en 1941 por el arqueólogo Augusto Fernández de Avilés., This paper presents an unpublished set of architectural elements, specifically Egyptian gorge cornices. The findings come from the site known as ‘Inquisición Grande’ (Rojales, Alicante) and have been documented in surveys carried out at the Segura River mouth. These new data provide a more complete knowledge of Iberian monumental architecture and its uses, not only funerary, in this territory. The place where they were found, allows us to relate them to a group of Iberian sculptures appeared during the Spanish Civil War and studied in 1941 by the archaeologist Augusto Fernández de Avilés.

This article examines the relationship between Wyndham Lewis’s Vorticism movement and Shakespeare, focusing on Lewis’s appropriation of Shakespeare’s play Timon of Athens and its impact on Vorticism’s visual aesthetics. In analysing Wyndham Lewis’s avant-garde approach, this article contrasts it with other artistic movements of the time —namely, Futurism and Cubism— and explores Lewis’s interest in the “automaton” and the “machine”, and how this fascination is linked to his reading of Shakespeare and his views on World War I. Overall, the paper demonstrates how Shakespeare’s work played a significant role in the development of Vorticism’s unique aesthetic vision during a time of great social and political upheaval., El presente artículo explora la relación entre el Vorticismo de Wyndham Lewis y la obra de Shakespeare, a través, principalmente, del impacto que Timón de Atenas tuvo en la estética visual de dicho movimiento de vanguardia. El análisis del enfoque vanguardista de Wyndham Lewis incluye la comparación con otros movimientos artísticos de la época, como el Futurismo y el Cubismo, y analiza el interés de Lewis por el “autómata” y la “máquina”, con el fin de revelar las formas en las que esta fascinación se entrecruza con su lectura de Shakespeare y su visión de la Primera Guerra Mundial. El objetivo principal de este artículo es mostrar cómo la obra de Shakespeare desempeñó un papel significativo en el desarrollo de la visión estética única del Vorticismo durante un periodo de gran agitación social y política., Este artigo examina a relação entre o movimento Vorticism de Wyndham Lewis e Shakespeare, com foco na apropriação de Lewis da peça Timon de Atenas de Shakespeare e seu impacto na estética visual do Vorticism. Ao analisar a abordagem vanguardista de Wyndham Lewis, este artigo a contrasta com outros movimentos artísticos da época, nomeadamente o Futurismo e o Cubismo, e explora o interesse de Lewis pelo “autômato” e pela “máquina” e como essa fascinação está relacionada com sua leitura de Shakespeare e suas opiniões sobre a Primeira Guerra Mundial. No geral, o artigo demonstra como a obra de Shakespeare desempenhou um papel significativo no desenvolvimento da visão estética única do Vorticism durante um período de grande agitação social e política.

The death of a baby in the perinatal period is considered a disenfranchized grief that can be a source of significant symptoms of guilt, shame, and stigma. There is a lack of validated instruments for assessing the stigma associated with perinatal grief. The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties (factor structure, reliability, and validity) of the Spanish version of the Stillbirth Stigma Scale (SSS) in parents who have experienced a perinatal loss. A total of 291 participants (mostly mothers) completed an online questionnaire that included the SSS and other measures. The best-fitting factor structure was a second-order model with four dimensions and adequate reliability values. In terms of validity, we found statistically significant relationships between the SSS scores and the variables of self-esteem, complicated grief, event centrality, depression, and anxiety. In conclusion, the Spanish adaptation of the SSS is deemed to have adequate psychometric properties.

Los pueblos indígenas de Australia han transmitido sus conocimientos y creencias de manera oral de generación en generación durante milenios haciendo uso de lenguas que hasta hace apenas dos siglos no contaban con sistema alguno de escritura. Algunas de esas historias de tradición oral han sido transcritas, recogidas en recopilaciones de cuentos tradicionales y traducidas a otros idiomas, pero no mucho de ese material está disponible en nuestra lengua. El objetivo de este trabajo es averiguar a través de qué idiomas han llegado estos relatos al español y analizar los retos de traducción de dichos relatos, dada la distancia cultural entre las lenguas indígenas australianas y el castellano, con especial atención a la traducción de los marcadores culturales.

Aims/Background: Assessing the intensity of perinatal grief is very important for identifying the more complex cases in mothers and fathers. Despite this, there are few assessment tools available. The aim of this study was to analyse the psychometric properties (factorial structure, reliability, and validity) of the Spanish version of the Perinatal Grief Intensity Scale (PGIS). Design/Methods: An online survey was completed by 291 mothers and fathers who had suffered perinatal loss in the previous six years. Results: The results showed adequate fit indexes for the three-factor model of the PGIS: reality, confront others, and congruence. Reliability values for the overall scale and subscales were adequate. Finally, with regard to validity, significant (p < .05) and positive relationships were found with levels of complicated grief, event centrality, guilt, anxiety, and depression. There were also differences depending on whether participants exhibited high or low levels of complicated grief, and on the number of weeks of pregnancy at the time of the loss. Conclusion: In conclusion, the Spanish adaptation of the PGIS has adequate reliability and validity scores and a factorial structure consistent with the original version.

Brian Dutton’s catalog established the poetic corpus of Juan Tallante based on two testimonies from the 16th century (the Cancionero de Rennert and the Cancionero General). This work expands upon those with two additional sources: the Cancionero de Vindel and a Valencian poetic incunabulum, both from the 15th century. Three poems that critical tradition had suggested be attributed to Juan Tallante are studied, to end up expanding his corpus with two of them. And, with the expansion of sources, the textual tradition of the only poem that is no longer a unique testimony is analyzed, to end up offering its critical edition., El catálogo de Brian Dutton establecía el corpus poético de Juan Tallante a partir de dos testimonios del siglo XVI (el Cancionero de Rennert y el Cancionero General), que se amplían en este trabajo a otras dos fuentes: el Cancionero de Vindel y un incunable poético valenciano, ambas del siglo XV. Se estudian tres poemas que la tradición crítica había sugerido que se atribuyesen a Juan Tallante, para acabar enriqueciendo su corpus con otros dos. Y, con la ampliación de fuentes, se analiza la tradición textual del único poema que deja de ser testimonio único, para acabar ofreciendo su edición crítica.

Mock impoliteness is defined as a specific form of politeness, one in which participants in a conversation perceive acts such as jocular mockery, insults and banter as non-impolite (Haugh, Michael & Derek Bousfield. 2012. Mock impoliteness in interactions amongst Australian and British speakers of English. Journal of Pragmatics 44. 1099–1114). Following the model of the third wave of politeness and Sinkeviciute, Valeria (2019. Conversational humour and (im) politeness: A pragmatic analysis of social interaction. Amsterdam: John Benjamins), the aim of this paper is twofold. First, it seeks to contribute to a better understanding of the phenomenon in colloquial conversation. Second, it illustrates this in a language other than English, specifically Peninsular Spanish, using data on informal interactions. The database is composed of 148 humorous sequences from the VALESCO.HUMOR corpus (http://www.observahumor.com/corpus_valesco). 25.67 % of these were identified and analyzed as mock impoliteness, using a tentative procedure for exploring humor negotiation in mock impoliteness through the assessment of a number of elements. These included the issue of which linguistic and paralinguistic elements are used by participants, and the interpretation of the initial aggressive style focused on the target, be it the recipient in a conversation or an absent third party (Béal, Christine & Kerry Mullan. 2017. The pragmatics of conversational humour in social visits: French and Australian English. Language & Communication 55. 24–40). Finally, we considered the question of whether or not the humor introduced by mock impoliteness was sustained throughout a sequence. When a target is oriented to a recipient in the exchange, the data shows a trend towards strengthening social bonds with the group and sustaining humor across the sequence.

This study aimed to explore the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools and digital storytelling in the context of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) education among pre-service teachers. Conducted with third-year college students enrolled in a teacher training program, the study focuses on three main objectives: assessing the participants' prior knowledge of AI tools for EFL material creation, examining their attitudes towards the use of AI in language education, and evaluating the impact of collaborative digital storytelling projects on their perspectives towards integrating AI tools in educational settings. Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study engaged a convenience sample of 115 pre-service teachers, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative research instruments such as a pre-post-test based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and class discussion. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS, while qualitative insights were derived through QDA Miner to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the participants' experiences and viewpoints. The findings reveal a notable gap in the preservice teachers' prior knowledge of AI tools designed for educational purposes, indicating a limited exposure to or engagement with such technologies in their training. Despite this low level of familiarity, the study uncovers a predominantly positive attitude towards the adoption and integration of AI tools in language education. This positive disposition suggests an openness among future educators to explore and incorporate innovative technologies that can enhance teaching and learning experiences in EFL contexts. The research highlights how the practical experience of creating collaborative digital storytelling narratives using AI tools can positively influence pre-service teachers' attitudes towards technology integration. This shift in perspective underscores the potential of hands-on, project-based learning experiences to enrich teacher training programs
