scholarly journals “LABIOS MÍOS TEMBLANDO, DEL PRECIOSO REGALO DE TU MANO, TIÑÉNDOSE”: LA HUELLA DE PABLO GARCÍA BAENA EN EL DEVOCIONARIO DE ANA ROSSETTI

Este ensayo pretende evidenciar el magisterio que Pablo García Baena (Córdoba, 1921 – Córdoba, 2018), miembro fundador del grupo Cántico de Córdoba, ejerció en la obra poética de la escritora Ana Rossetti (San Fernando, 1950), particularmente en su poemario Devocionario (1986). Con este fin se lleva a cabo un análisis minucioso de la obra lírica de ambos que demuestra el gran número de rasgos estéticos que comparten. Entre los que sobresalen el uso de un lenguaje estetizante, rico en matices y detalles preciosistas, la exaltación de los sentidos y, principalmente, el empleo del imaginario católico al que los dos recurren con un propósito, más que religioso, decorativo. En última instancia, este estudio comparativo trata de iluminar algunas de las claves de Devocionario que la crítica, debido a una falta de comprensión, ha tendido a malinterpretar. Concretamente, se ha sobredimensionado el componente erótico del libro de la gaditana. Abstract: This essay will address the influence of Pablo García Baena (Córdoba, 1921-2018), a founding member of the literary group Cántico (Córdoba), in the poetry of Ana Rossetti (San Fernando, 1950), particularly her book Devocionario (1986). To achieve this, attention is paid to the poetic work of both writers, showing common aspects in their aesthetics, such as the outstanding use of language —rich in nuances and details—, the exaltation of the senses, and, mostly, the use of Catholic imagery, to which both resort with a decorative rather than a religious purpose. This comparative study will also approach some of the keys of Devocionario, which has been misunderstood by the critics. Particularly, scholars have exaggerated the erotic component of this book.

This essay aims to analyze the poetics of the soundscape in Albert Camus’ work, based in the notions of happiness and unhappiness. Our purpose will be to define the characteristics of the symbolism of auditory perception, which are elaborated on the double configuration between happiness and unhappiness. The fact that the symbolic universe of Camus outlines a total sensory experience does no longer need to be demonstrated. Starting from his first lyrical writings to the Notebooks, his writing appeals arouses all the senses. Through a comparative study of examples relating to happiness and unhappiness and while underlining the predominant place of silence in Camus’ aesthetics, we will come off to the conclusion that Camus’s work constitutes a real kind of field recording.

Conceptualisation is “the process of meaning construction to which language contributes. It does so by providing access to rich encyclopaedic knowledge and by prompting for complex processes of conceptual integration” (Evans 2007: 38). Concrete, non-abstract entities are easy to grasp and to conceptualise with the use of the senses. A problem occurs when the mind has to form an idea about abstract concepts that cannot be seen, heard, smelled, or tasted. Linguists (Evans & Green 2006; Gibbs 1999; Kövecses 2010; Lakoff 1986; Lakoff & Johnson 2003) proved that people share a tendency to create conceptual analogies between abstract concepts and concrete entities by mapping the properties of the latter upon the former. It has been proved (Trojszczak 2016, 2017) that people share conceptualisations between languages. The primary goal of this comparative study was to examine the conceptualisation of success in two languages, English and Polish, in order to identify differences and similarities. The results of the study proved that people share the conceptualisation of the analysed target domain in both languages, which means they understand success in the same terms. There is a difference in the intensity, however; some metaphors are more widely used in one language and some in the other. There is also a difference in the linguistic expressions that constitute the conceptualisations.

Abstract This paper reviews recent research using participant ratings to measure the iconicity (form-meaning resemblance) of words and signs. This method, by enabling wide coverage of lexical items and cross-linguistic comparison, has revealed systematic patterns in how iconicity is distributed across the vocabularies of different languages. These findings are consistent with established linguistic and psychological theory on iconicity, and they connect iconicity to factors like learning and acquisition, semantics, pragmatic aspects of language like playfulness, and to the semantic neighborhood density of words and signs. After taking stock of this research, we look critically at the construct validity of iconicity ratings, considering an alternative account of iconicity ratings recently put forward by Thompson, Arthur Lewis, Kimi Akita & Youngah Do. 2020a. Iconicity ratings across the Japanese lexicon: A comparative study with English. Linguistics Vanguard 6. 20190088. They propose that, for most vocabulary, participants might rate the iconicity of different words based on their meaning alone – specifically the degree to which it relates to the senses – independently of actual form-meaning resemblance. We argue that their hypothesis cannot account for many of the various, theory-driven results from this line of research, which strongly support the conclusion that the ratings really do measure iconicity.

This article aims to explore, through a literature review, what may be termed ‘the aesthetic space’ and to draw comparison with dialogical theories. The word ‘aesthetic’ literally means to take in the world through the senses. The study is based on theories and related principles from the fields of education, philosophy and psychology and from those of the world of the creative arts in determining what is meant by ‘the aesthetic space’.  Simultaneously, comparison is drawn towards an aesthetic approach to communication and dialogical theory. To enter the ‘aesthetic space’ is to engage creatively with the senses and the process of meaning making. Besides a literature description,  the study examines, through focus groups, questionnaires and video-analysis tasks, the I-positions of two groups of professionals  (support and art workers) in analysing communicative agency in a deafblind/non-deafblind dyad engaging in an ‘aesthetic space encounter’. Creative approaches are recommended for people with deafblindness and their social partners to develop agency within communication in the deafblind field.  https://doi.org/10.21827/jdbsc.5.32573
