Readers and Compilators of Ausiàs March’s Poetry in Barcelona (BNE, MS 2985)

It lays out the material characteristics of the codex, and sets them in contrast with a matrix of relevant features from other witnesses of March’s poetry. As a result, this study uncovers several stages in the compilatory process of the manuscript, and argues for it having been originally owned by Ferrando de Cardona, Admiral of Naples and Duke of Somma (Naples, 1521- Sant Cugat del Vallès, 1571).

Actitudes frente a los ideales éticos corteses en la lírica castellana y catalanovalenciana de los siglos XIV y XV

Catalan-Valencian love poetry of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries and cancionero Castilian poetry are not only... more Catalan-Valencian love poetry of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries and cancionero Castilian poetry are not only linked by geographical and temporal bonds, but also share the same origins: both are heirs, each one in its own way, to the poetic tradition of Provençal troubadours. However, some of the characteristic features of fourteenth and fifteenth centuries’ Catalan-Valencian poetry involve a revision and a discussion of some of the fundamental ideas in the courtly love code. In some cases, poets even strip courtly ideals of their original ennobling power. The starting point of this paper is the acknowledgement of such attitudes among Catalan and Valencian poets. The aim of this essay is to identify the possible concurrence of such topics in Castilian poetry, in order to draw an outline of similarities and differences between the Catalan-Valencian and the Castilian poetic traditions in the treatment of conventional courtly love motifs. To this end, text analysis is carried out around three main topics: the lover’s attitude towards contemporary courtly love habits, the image of the courtly lover, and the presence of other men –potential rivals for the lover– within poetic fiction. Finally, the results of this comparative exercise are assessed in connection with the political and social context of the time.

Proponiamo qui alcuni spunti di riflessione per una nuova interpretazione della figura di Matelda. Le chiavi di lettura sono consegnate l’una alla nozione di "delectatio" – coerentemente con quanto la donna stessa compendia in merito al suo status ontologico «luce rende il salmo Delectasti» –, l’altra alla memoria testuale di Dante-auctor. È, infatti, proprio nella memoria testuale dantesca antecedente alla Commedia che è forse possibile far emergere alcune tracce di quelle altre donne che sembrerebbero collassare, per un superamento narrativo e poetologico, dapprima in Matelda, quindi, definitivamente, in Beatrice.

A poem prompted by a turn into re-visiting and digitally editing images from the past. In scanning negatives and slides and altering the resultant images to make them more austere and to produce an "atlas" (in Gerhard Richter's sense), the nature of memory and its relation to the present and the future becomes productive of another sense that eludes time proper.

Perhaps the same is at play in Chris Marker's re-working of his own photographic archive, insofar as his concept of immemory suggests that the actual circumstances of an image are somewhat irrelevant when the conscious mind returns to the origin of all images -- arguably "the impersonal world" as such.
