The book Parias y resistentes. La guerra interminable según Almudena Grandes written by Aránzazu Calderón is an important work that I believe that should be read by both, those interested in Spanish Literature and Spanish History. It is also a text that reflects the great debates in these two disciplines. Both the need for the historical memory of nations and the genesis and reinforcement of what Rosenwein has called emotional communities (2006) appear in this book analyzing Almudena Grandes' novelistic project, which is entitled Episodios de una Guerra interminable.

Sancho Panza

This book posits the Aristotelian-Ciceronian notion of perfect male friendship as an independent poetic force within the development of Spanish literature in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. Through a re-examination of Spanish critic Juan Bautista Avalle-Arce’s notion of the “tale of two friends” tradition, the book shows how the poetics of friendship evolves in relation to other key concepts from the period—most notably exemplarity and imitatio—in a series of carefully selected examples from several important genres including the pastoral novel, the picaresque, and the Spanish comedia. Particular attention is given to the trajectory whereby the highly formalized narrativization of the traditional Aristotelian paradigm for friendship gives way to representations of personal intimacy grounded in a recognition of the idiosyncratic particularity of human experience in the world beyond the text. This alternative modality for representing friendship, which encompasses a variety of relationships beyond the Aristotelian paradigm—between women, erstwhile lovers, and pícaros, to take just three examples—reaches its fullest expression in the depiction of the evolving intimacy that grows up between the two unlikely companions, Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, whose shared experiences provide the main focus for Cervantes’s most important work.

There is no doubt that the most important event of the 20th century was a joint victory of the united front of peoples and states over German fascism. For some that was the victory in the Second World War. For the Russians - the victory in the Great Patriotic War which cost the Soviet Union incredible efforts, enormous sacrifices and material losses. Now when we celebrate the 70thyear since that epoch-making date we turn our attention once more to the lessons of history because the memory of the war has been imprinted deeply on our gene level of Russians and Germans. This is because every family from both sides sustained heavy losses. This memory is alive in literature, in movies and plays, songs, in memorials, biographies and historical dates. The Russian and German descendants of those who fought against each other are doing an important work searching for the killed, looking after the burial places, compensating the damage to the victims of this inhuman massacre, trying to understand critically our common and controversial past. What was the 9th of May for the Germans and the Russians in the perception of Germans and Russians? Was it a victory, a defeat or liberation? This is what the author of the article reflects on, convinced that we are anyway dealing with the greatest event of the 20th century, at least because it prevented the end of civilization.

This article analyses the recovery of the historical memory of the Spanish Civil War in the last decade, after so many years of silence, forgetfulness and oblivion. Four points are developed: first, how this recovery is achieved by the civil society in general and by the Association for the Recovery of Historical Memory in particular. Secondly, there is a brief allusion to the quarrel between historians and philosophers about the place of memory and remembrance for the construction of the history of Spain. Thirdly, a reference to the recent Historical Memory Law is made, and finally there is a point about the important role played by literature in recovering the memory of many painful facts of the Civil War and Franco’s dictatorship from the point of view of the victims.

Resumen: Este monográfico reflexiona sobre la necesidad de reconstruir la historiografía de la literatura española de la Edad de Plata con métodos y técnicas digitales y específicamente las relacionadas con el almacenamiento de datos mediante archivos, repositorios y bibliotecas digitales. A partir de la digitalización masiva de contenidos y su catalogación mediante metadatos estandarizados, surgen nuevos espacios de organización de la memoria histórica para docentes e investigadores. Los trabajos que componen este monográfico asumen dos retos fundamentales: 1) la recopilación y catalogación de recursos, 2) su estructuración mediante metadatos y ediciones digitales que interpretan el legado con novedosas aproximaciones teóricas.Abstract: This monograph reflects on the need to reconstruct the historiography of Spanish literature of the Silver Age through digital methods and techniques and specifically those related to data storage through archives, repositories and digital libraries. From the massive digitalization of content and its cataloging by means of standardized metadata, new challenges of organizing historical memory for teachers and researchers are opened. The works that make up this monograph assume two fundamental challenges: 1) the collection and cataloging of resources, 2) the modelling through metadata and digital editions that interpret the legacy with new theoretical approaches.

When I studied in Spain in 1969 and 1970, I knew about the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939), briefly mentioned in my Spanish history books; General.simo Francisco Franco declared victory. I knew Spain through my graduate studies in Spanish literature and through Michener’s book Iberia (1968). In 2000, I met Jordi Calvera, a Catal.n whose post-war stories conflicted with that idyllic Spain. I returned to Spain in 2013, still with no idea of the impact of the totalitarian dictatorship based on fear and silence through which Franco ruled until his death in 1975, leaving a legacy of fear and silence. In Barcelona, I met a group of adults in their eighties who shared Jordi’s experience. My intrigue with these stories led me to learn more about the war, the dictatorship and the aftermath by interviewing people whose lives had been touched by those years. Through a layered account, I present some of the stories and examine my oblivion.

El objetivo de este trabajo es subrayar las calidades grotescas del Diccionario crítico-burlesco (1811), de Bartolomé José Gallardo: filólogo, erudito, bibliógrafo, poeta, periodista y polemista de muy singular significación en la literatura española del primer tercio del siglo XIX, e injustamente denostado debido a su famoso Diccionario. Una obra especialmente importante, pues inaugura la sátira moderna en el pensamiento y la cultura española en permanente diálogo con la estética grotesca de los grabados y las Pinturas negras de Francisco de Goya, de acuerdo también con la mejor tradición burlesca de la literatura barroca e ilustrada.The purpose of this work is to study the grotesque aesthetics on Bartolomé José Gallardo's Diccionario crítico-burlesco (1811). Gallardo was a philologist, scholar, bibliographer, poet, journalist and debater of very singular significance in the Spanish literature of the first third of the nineteenth century, and was unjustly reviled due to his famous and polemical Diccionario. A crucially important work, in that it opens the modern satire in Spanish culture and thought, the Diccionario was in permanent dialogue with the grotesque aesthetics of Francisco de Goya's Caprichos and Pinturas negras, as well as with the best burlesque tradition of baroque culture and literature of the eighteenth century. A literary work that merits masterpiece status because it represents the vision of a major writer in contact, and often in conflict, with the common beliefs and behavior of his times.

 The article examines linguopragmatic and linguoculturological aspects of the precedent phenomena usage in the Spanish media discourse aiming to define the pragmatic potential of the precedent in it and to partially reconstruct the Spanish picture of the world and linguistic identity by defining the linguoculturological importance of the precedent phenomena. The language is seen as an instrument for coding and translating cultural-semantic information. The definition of the notion ‘precedent’ is given and the basic theories on contemporary precedent studies are analyzed, the intertextuality theory in particular. A precedent phenomenon in the text is seen as a manifestation of a linguistic world-image, world knowledge objectification as well as a powerful tool of peoples’ minds manipulation by its implicit verbal influence on the audience. According to D. Gudkov’s classification, there are the following universal and national precedent phenomena: precedent situations, precedent names and precedent expressions. In the media text a precedent phenomenon is seen as one of the means of the implementation of the following strategies: semantic, pragmatic, conversational and rhetorical. Intertextuality is predominantly manifested in neologisms, allusions and quotations, which refer to the world and Spanish literature, the Bible, mythological sources and historical realia and Spanish internal events. The obtained results have proved the original hypothesis, according to which precedent phenomena in the media discourse reflect the cultural fund and the historical memory of the Spanish linguocultural community thus serving as a culture and language conductor. They also provide an indirect communication between the representatives of different cultures, epochs and generations.

Purpose The purpose of this article was to extend the concepts of systems of oppression in higher education to the clinical setting where communication and swallowing services are delivered to geriatric persons, and to begin a conversation as to how clinicians can disrupt oppression in their workplace. Conclusions As clinical service providers to geriatric persons, it is imperative to understand systems of oppression to affect meaningful change. As trained speech-language pathologists and audiologists, we hold power and privilege in the medical institutions in which we work and are therefore obligated to do the hard work. Suggestions offered in this article are only the start of this important work.
