This article explores the representation of wrath in relation to the topic of shipwreck in literary texts from 17th-century Spain. As seen in the emblematic genre of the time, as well as in novellas and theatre plays, wrath is represented as the shipwreck of reason. Lack of control and the destruction of the mind as consequences of anger are associated with the capsizing of ships in marine storms. From the Renaissance and well into the late 17th-century, a sound mind is figuratively equivalent to the tranquil voyage in which the ship is in control of the maritime space. By contrast, the reckless and uncontrollable mind is comparable to the ship tossed and destroyed by the tempest, unable to return from the abyss of the ocean depths. As demonstrated in the literary texts of the time, to let the mind be taken over by the passions, particularly wrath and love, was frequently correlated with madness and, thus, with moral decline, as under contemporaneous thought, insanity was connected to ethical degeneration and conversely, sanity with Christian virtues. Moreover, the symbolic implication of the shipwreck motif in Early Modern Spanish literature also reflected the medical notions of the time—namely those related to the bodily humors. Within these sociocultural coordinates, wrath and unrequited love are correlated to choleric and melancholic natures that can lead to madness and social unrest. In sum, the connection of wrath to nautical devastation is an effective means to convey social and political commentary and transmit didactic messages. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Este artículo aborda el estudio de la colección de objetos metálicos de una colección que resulta del hallazgo de un naufragio de la Edad Moderna. A través del inventario de los objetos objeto de estudio se desarrolló un análisis formal, funcional y social. Se pretende poner de relieve el escaso estudio dedicado a los objetos de latón y, con especial énfasis, de estaño en Portugal, además de diseccionar las metodologías utilizadas internacionalmente y documentar la discrepancia de información entre los diferentes contextos científicos que se han dedicado al tema.

Prior to the building of a new bridge over the Storstrømmen sound, the Viking Ship Museum performed an archaeological survey of the affected area. During the survey, medieval ship timbers were encountered, leading to the excavation of the aft port section of the bottom of a clinker-built vessel with external caulking laths and sintels. The building of the vessel is dendrochronologically dated to ca. AD 1250-55. The find was documented in situ using 3D photogrammetry and subsequently salvaged and acquired for further 3D laser scan documentation and conservation. This process is presented here in great detail, enabling the reader to build upon our experience, and thus contributing to the rapidly evolving best practise for underwater 3D recording. Additionally, a comprehensive programme of scientific analyses was initiated leading to elaboration on the interesting insights into the vessel's working life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

El movimiento rebelde encabezado por Tupac Amaru II entre 1780 y 1781 no se circunscribió a unas coordenadas espacio-temporales demarcadas por su repercusión en el escenario peruano y altoperuano. En este trabajo analizamos el tortuoso itinerario seguido por los prisioneros tupamaristas tanto en su paso por Chile como en su destino final en España. En el caso chileno se incidirá en el temor que entre las autoridades provocó la presencia temporal de estos reos sobre todo como posible contagio social. En lo que se refiere a los escasos reos tupamaristas que sobrevivieron a los naufragios de los navíos San Pedro de Alcántara y El Peruano y llegaron a España, se centrará la atención en sus trayectorias hasta que fueron confinados en los presidios norteafricanos.

Mediante el análisis de las embarcaciones que integraban la flota y armada del general Diego de Córdoba Lasso de la Vega, marqués del Vado del Maestre, se vislumbra el complejo entramado de la marina que se dirigía a Tierra Firme a finales del siglo XVII, la calidad de las naves que transportaban los caudales a la península Ibérica y la existencia de un sistema protocolario en caso de producirse un siniestro. La pérdida de alguno de los navíos que transportaban los metales preciosos agravaría aún más los problemas de la resentida Hacienda castellana, por lo que la Corona debía ejecutar un plan de búsqueda y rescate con la mayor celeridad posible para tratar de obtener los valiosos cargamentos.

Este artículo estudia la relación entre el motivo del naufragio y el proceso de adquisición del lenguaje en El Criticón de Baltasar Gracián y Robinson Crusoe de Daniel Defoe. El argumento es que el naufragio se configura como un núcleo del relato propicio para desarrollar la aventura intelectual. El análisis de paralelismos entre estos textos, centrado en cuatro elementos —la intención edificante de las obras, el tratamiento del naufragio, el encuentro de los personajes y el proceso de adquisición del lenguaje—, revela una concepción peculiar de la aventura, en la cual el componente intelectual es importante para desarrollar el enfrentamiento de los personajes con sus realidades. El objetivo del estudio consiste en plantear una reflexión en torno a las inquietudes de estos autores sobre el conocimiento como parte de la aventura literaria.

Desejosos de escaparem ao ambiente opressivo da Graeca urbs, que domina a parte inicial do Satyricon de Petrónio, os jovens Encólpio e Gíton decidem aceitar o convite de Eumolpo para embarcar num navio que se preparava para zarpar, sendo apenas a bordo que compreenderam que a navio pertencia a Licas, pessoa de quem andavam precisamente a fugir. Desta forma, o microcosmos de laços e relações que se organiza à volta desta personagem e do seu poder em alto mar faz com que o barco de Licas funcione como um universo autocrático, com regras e lógicas próprias, as quais se verão revertidas pela experiência do naufrágio, que causará a morte ao poderoso Licas e abrirá — ao velho poeta Eumolpo e em especial aos jovens aventureiros que o acompanham — uma via nova de salvação, ao abrigo da existência fictícia que recriarão na cidade de Crotona. Com este estudo, pretende-se analisar a forma como a experiência de quase-morte do naufrágio vai inspirar uma reconfiguração da natureza dos anti-heróis, que é também uma oportunidade de redenção e de reinvenção pessoais, mas que acabará por precipitar nova catástrofe e talvez de novo a busca de uma saída salvadora.

En la primera década de este siglo y en el contexto de las excavaciones del sitio arqueológico de Parreitas (freguesía de Bárrio) se encontraron dos fragmentos de una inscripción latina, el único testimonio escrito del yacimiento. El léxico inusual que presentaba llevó a su primer y único editor, A. Guerra, a deducir sagazmente que se trataba de los restos de un carmen Latinum epigraphicum (CLE). El presente trabajo propone una nueva visión de la pieza a partir de una metodología que combina criterios epigráficos y filológicos; se proporcionan observaciones adicionales sobre su soporte físico y una profunda revisión de la edición del texto, fruto del estudio métrico y de sus posibles paralelos epigráficos y literarios. Estas nuevas apreciaciones conducen a proponer una nueva interpretación, donde todos los indicios apuntan al epitafio de un náufrago.

This article focuses on the shipwreck of the brigantine Nuestra Señora del Carmen and San José at the end of 1705 and the irregular actions carried out by the governor of Tabasco in the management of the cargo recovered after the sinking. The ship, which was heading from the port of San Cristóbal de La Habana to the port of Veracruz, sank on Tabasco´s coast, in a place called Quebrada Grande, after having diverted to the port of San Francisco de Campeche to repair the serious damage that it had suffered due to bad weather conditions. The controversial action of the governor and his subordinates in the rescue of the cargo carried by the brigantine and the subsequent fraudulent deviation of part of that merchandise for private lucrative purposes provoked the complaints of a part of the Tabasco population. In the residence of the mayor, Alonso Felipe Andrade, a thorough investigation was carried out for the management of said rescue, an aspect that we will analyze carefully in the following article.

O presente artigo pretende demonstrar, a partir da navegação e do naufrágio como metáforas para a existência humana e para o estado atual da civilização ocidental, como o pensamento de Vilém Flusser contribui para uma conduta ética na época da imaginação digital e das imagens técnicas. Flusser é um dos poucos teóricos da mídia e das tecnologias digitais que oferece, através de conceitos basilares, uma resposta digna à desventura destrutiva em que se encontra a humanidade não somente nas realidades e espaços virtuais.

Every one of us is followed by a shadow. This world, which is both under and behind the mask of the persona and social action, which Jung had called it, with an expression that Dostoevsky renames, the "basements of the soul". The dualism between the ego and the shadow leads us to experience inner conflicts and "limit situations". The "shipwreck" is the philosophical figure with which Jaspers defines the ultimate meaning of human existence: the "limit situations" seem to be labyrinths with no way out, nevertheless at the same time contain the possibility of being overcome. These are crucial moments in which, despite difficulty and uncertainty, we can see more clearly the horizon and the meaning of our life: all that gives meaning and significance to our existence. As Viktor Frankl observed, it is surprising and encouraging to see how people, even wounded, can flourish after experiencing limitless experiences: they discover their abilities, the deepest potential previously hidden in the shadows. It is as if, after the great shock of life, they find the purest and most distinctive potential that lives in them. And after having found it, they decide to live on the basis of this, without losing it along the way, showing and sharing with the rest of human beings the most profound and authentic is potentially inherent in their being.

O trabalho trata do naufrágio do vapor Bahia, pertencente à Companhia de Navegação Brasileira por Vapor, localizada no município de Goiana - PE, no mar adjacente à praia de Ponta de Pedras, a cerca de 6 milhas da costa, em uma profundidade de 25 m. O vapor Bahia foi a pique após abalroar-se com o vapor Pirapama, pertencente à Companhia Pernambucana de Navegação por Vapor. Na época do acidente, não foi possível averiguar quem foi o responsável, visto que apenas as avarias do vapor Pirapama foram examinadas, porque a Marinha do Brasil não possuía em seus quadros técnicos mergulhadores que inspecionassem o vapor naufragado, permanecendo a incógnita até os dias atuais. ABSTRACT The paper deals with the Bahia steam wreck, belonging to Brazilian Navigation Company for Steam, located in the municipality of Goiana - PE, in the adjacent sea to the beach of Ponta de Pedras, about 6 miles from the coast, at a depth of 25 m. The Bahia steam went down after ramming it with the Pirapama steam belonging to Pernambuco Navigation Company for Steam. At the time of the accident was not possible to ascertain who was responsible, since only steam breakdowns Pirapama were examined, due to the Brazilian Navy did not have in their technical staff divers inspect the wrecked steam, remaining the unknown to the present day.

Considered superficially, the women in theTorquemadanovels conform to the negative gender stereotypes imposed upon them by their male counterparts. On further examination, however, we discover that the male viewpoints are both undermined and questioned, and a number of female characters are used to pose questions that are even more ambitious than those raised in Galdosian novels where the eponymous characters are women. Aiming to enhance our understanding of the significance of the female characters in Galdós’s novels, as well as unearthing their complexity, this article highlights the presence of ambiguity in theTorquemadanovels and argues that these works question traditional perceptions of women. Boundaries are revealed to be hazy and the male characters (who sometimes have effeminate qualities) are essentially puppets or “fronts” in what is effectively a domain controlled by the women. Displaying a level of resourcefulness, creativity, and resilience that surpasses that of their male counterparts, the female characters (particularly Cruz) are sometimes influential catalysts for change. Hence, rather than being misconstrued as “a problem” or “al borde de un naufragio,” they could be regarded as potential redeemers in a Spain that was in need of regeneration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is focused in one single text: the fragment D. 47.9.4.1 of Justinian's Digest. This passage contains a rescript that addresses the rapina committed with the occasion of a shipwreck, and establishes different penalties according to the status of the offenders. The object of this brief paper is to indicate that the authorship of the rescript contained in the fragment corresponds to the emperor Caracalla. To this aim, we will discuss the different penalties imposed in the text, what will highlight some distinctive elements of the Severan age in terms of criminal punishment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Ignazio Cannas, psychoanalyst, has a dialogue with Sandra Teroni on the occasion of the publication of her book Da una modernità all’altra. Tra Baudelaire e Sartre (From one Modernity to another. Between Baudelaire and Sartre - Marsilio 2017). The issues addressed are: an unresolved oscillation of the artist and the human being between the research of a style to give voice to emotions and the active presence in the history; the sense of those that the author calls “the figures of disillusionment” – the escape, the wandering, the foreigner, the shipwreck and the swamp – that can be considered metaphors through which, in the modernity, man tries to represent the problems of his being in relation with the other and his living in the world.

Las Humanidades se ocupan del ser humano inmerso en un entorno social que le exige preguntarse por sí mismo (Antropología) y por los demás (Sociología). En este sentido, su misión en el contexto universitario es complementar la labor de la familia y la academia en cuanto tiene que ver con la construcción de un mejor conocimiento sobre el ser humano y el mundo que le rodea. En otros términos, las Humanidades deben propiciar en el sujeto el desarrollo de la capacidad hermenéutica de sí mismo y de los demás, como una forma de enriquecer su formación científica o disciplinar. Lo contrario, es decir, la apuesta por una “humanidad sin humanidades” (Savater), supondría el fracaso de los esfuerzos por comprender realmente el sentido y el valor de lo que nos hace humanos. En la Universidad la enseñanza y el aprendizaje de las Humanidades se enmarcan en el campo de las Ciencias Humanas. Sin embargo, actualmente se presta tanta atención y se invierten tantos esfuerzos en el desarrollo de competencias ligadas al saber-aprender y el saber-hacer, que el saber-ser y el saber-convivir han terminado en un segundo plano, como si no fueran aspectos fundamentales para el desarrollo de seres integrales. Es a partir de esta realidad, que el presente artículo aborda lo que podría considerarse como el “naufragio de las humanidades” en una época obnubilada por los milagros de la tecnología y los avances científicos.

La nota riconstruisce la tradizione della confessione fatta ad amici o conoscenti laici, tradizione che ha le prime testimonianze in Beda il Venerabile e che cadde in disuso nel periodo del Concilio di Trento. Questo riconstruzione spiega un episodio del Tirant lo Blanch (cap. 296 e cap. 299) e dimostra che la fonte non è solo di natura folklorica ma anche di natura teologica.

The effect of the Orion shipwreck on fish assemblage distribution near the reef was studied to the northeast of Rio de Janeiro with six different fishing gears: gillnets, mid-water longlines, circular traps, rectangular traps, vertical longlines, and bottom trawling. The study consisted of a pre-monitoring survey four months before the shipwreck in the area (A) and in two control areas (B and C). After 36 months, a total of 56 species were caught in the Orion reef area, 49 in control area B and 59 in control area C. The similarity analysis, considering the number of fish caught during the nine surveys in the three study areas, clustered the pre-monitoring and first post-settlement surveys of the three sites. This occurred due to the low number of fish captured and the dominance of Trichiurus lepturus and Lagocephalus laevigatus. These results differed from all the other studies in the three areas due to the co-dominance of Ctenosciaena gracilicirrhus and Stephanolepis hispidus. Such spatial similarity shows the low influence of the Orion reef in the area after three years. Biomass values were 15% higher in the Orion reef area than in the control areas, representing an increase of up to 1.2 times in wet weight. The increment of fish communities is still insufficient for proposing sustainable fishery activity in the shipwreck area. The monitoring time (32 months) after the sinking of the Orion may be considered too short to assure that the wreckage had reached its maturity as an artificial reef, either as a fish attractor or producer.El efecto del buque sumergido Orion sobre la distribución de las comunidades de peces próximas al arrecife fue estudiado en el noreste de Rio de Janeiro utilizándose seis artes de pesca: red de enmalle, palangre pelágico, trampas circulares, trampas rectangulares, palangres y red de arrastre de fondo. El estudio consistió en una investigación premonitoreo, cuatro meses antes del naufragio en el area (A) y en dos areas control (B y C). Después de 36 meses, 56 especies fueron capturadas en el arrecife Orion, 49 en el area control B y 59 en el control C. Los análisis de similitud considerando el número de peces capturados durante las nueve campañas en las tres areas de estudio, agruparon las campañas de premonitoreo y la primera de posasentamiento, en las tres localidades, debido a la baja captura de individuos y a la dominancia de Trichiurus lepturus y Lagocephalus laevigatus. Estos resultados fueron distintos en todas las otras investigaciones en las tres localidades, debido a la codominancia de Ctenosciaena gracilicirrhus y Stephanolepis hispidus. Esta similitud espacial muestra la baja influencia del arrecife Orion en el area después de tres años. Los valores de biomasa fueron 15% mayores en la area del arrecife Orion que en las areas control, representando un aumento de hasta 1,2 veces en peso húmedo. El aumento de las comunidades de peces en el area es todavía insuficiente para proponer la actividad pesquera sustentable en la region del naufragio. El periodo de monitoreo (32 meses), después del asentamiento del Orion, puede ser considerado corto para asegurar que el naufragio, tenga legado a su madurez como arrecife artificial, como atractivo o productor de peces.

En este trabajo presentamos una sinopsis de las investigaciones realizadas en nuestro país en arqueología subacuática, junto con una reseña de los antecedentes de esta especialidad y el afianzamiento de la misma dentro del ámbito científico. Abordaremos los proyectos de investigación desarrollados, fundamentalmente en sitios de momentos históricos, por parte del Programa de Arqueología Subacuática del Instituto Nacional de Antropología y Pensamiento Latinoamericano y del Área de Arqueología Subacuática de la Universidad Nacional de Rosario. Finalmente, repasaremos algunas cuestiones teóricas y metodológicas de las investigaciones, y diversos aspectos relacionados con la protección del patrimonio cultural sumergido

En el presente informe realizamos una aproximación a los procesos de deterioro de artefactos arqueológicos de hierro en ambientes marinos y fluviomarinos. Su estudio nos permitirá entender los procesos de formación del registro subacuático y estimar el potencial arqueológico del sitio de acuerdo con sus características particulares, así como la metodología que debería utilizarse en cada caso durante la planificación de la conservación preventiva de las piezas y su posterior tratamiento y estudio en el laboratorio. Durante el curso del trabajo analizamos un conjunto de concreciones formadas alrededor de artefactos de hierro pertenecientes a un naufragio holandés del siglo XVII en Puerto Deseado, provincia de Santa Cruz. Presentamos los resultados de la metodología aplicada en el sitio y durante el tratamiento de las piezas, sometidas a un proceso de replicado con resinas para su posterior estudio.

In Valdés peninsula, 22 km north of the Punta Delgada lighthouse, lie the remains of the steamship Presidente Roca. Since 1904, this vessel was used for transport along Patagonian courses. The ship was lost in 1909 because of a fire (Kludas, 1976). The boat remains woefully inadequate in relation to material that survived the catastrophe this paper seeks to address this problem. Metal-hulled and steam-powered shipwrecks have been studied within maritime archeology. This paper intends to address the formation processes that affected the steamship from before its sinking until present time. The main focus will be human action on the wreck. With this in mind, we apply the theoretical model of M. Gibbs (2006), which systematically organizes events concerning the loss of the ship and any further events that may affect a shipwreck.

In this article, we discuss that one of the most important aspects of Naufragios (1542) by Cabeza de Vaca is the cultural clash between Europeans and Native Americans, and the consequent identity transformations. Upon reflection on the difference and the identity transformation of those colonized and conquered, we analyze the narrative composition of this account, as well as the historical data presented. However, it will be observed that instead of thinking about the differences that potentially composed the traveler being and the one conquered, there are a strong critical tendency that only mythologizing those subjects, representing the Iberian travelers like someone completely believer in their material wishes and imaginations. Thus, our aim is to evaluate Cabeza de Vaca as an example of a thirsty traveler for riches who is able to experience the new moving between cultures without the dominance of the marvelous imaginary.
