En su literatura —normalmente vinculada a lo fantástico y lo gótico—, Pilar Pedraza pone énfasis en individuos al margen, a menudo monstruosos. Entre todas estas figuras, destaca la de la bruja. El artículo estudia cómo la concibe la autora. A partir de las ideas expuestas en Brujas, sapos y aquelarres (2014) y el repaso de las obras más representativas, busca dirimir en qué medida el tratamiento de Pedraza afecta a su poética como creadora de una narrativa insólita y hasta qué punto se puede hablar de un enfoque específicamente femenino —o feminista— de este tipo de ficción, sobre todo en su vertiente gótica.  Abstract: In her literature —commonly linked to the fantastic and the gothic—, Pilar Pedraza focuses on individuals on the margins, often monstrous. Among all these figures, the witch stands out. The article studies the way the author conceives it. Based on the ideas exposed in Brujas, sapos y aquelarres (2014) and the analysis of the most representative works, it aims to determine to what extent Pedraza’s treatment affects her poetics as a producer of unusual fiction and to what extent we can consider it a specifically feminine —or feminist— approach to this type of fiction, especially on the gothic side.

This article examines Rangda and her role as a chthonic and mythological figure in Bali, particularly the way in which Rangda’s identity has intertwined with that of the Hindu goddess Durga— slayer of buffalo demons and other creatures that cannot be bested by Shiva or other male Hindu gods. Images and stories about Durga in Bali are significantly different from those found in Hindu contexts in India. Although she retains the strong-willed independence and decision-making capabilities prominently associated with Durga in India, in Bali the goddess Durga is primarily associated with violent and negative attributes as well as looks and behaviours that are more usually associated with Kali in India. The reconstruction of Durga in Bali, in particular the integration of Durga with the figure of the witch Rangda, reflects the local importance of the dynamic relationship between good and bad, positive and negative forces in Bali. I suggest that Balinese representations of Rangda and Durga reveal a flux and transformation between good and evil, not simply one side of a balanced binary opposition. Transformation—here defined as the persistent movement between ritual purity and impurity—is a key element in the localization of the goddess Durga in Bali.

Los cambios que se están produciendo en la sociedad actual también manifiestan nuevas necesidades en la manera de despedirnos y recordarnos, lo que afecta directamente a la arquitectura funeraria de tanatorios y sobre todo de cementerios. A través de la «arquitectura emocional» se puede intervenir en los cementerios existentes para mejorar la percepción que transmiten a los usuarios y naturalizar los procesos de pérdida. En las futuras ampliaciones o construcción de nuevas instalaciones y/o cementerios deben tenerse en cuenta todas estas cuestiones de la arquitectura que conecta con las personas. The changes that are taking place in today's society also show new needs in the way we remind ourselves, which directly affects funerary architecture of funeral parloursand especially in cemeteries. Through the «emotional architecture» we can intervene in existing cemeteries to improve the perception which they transmit to users and thus naturalize loss processes. All these issues of the architecture that connects with the people must be taken into account in the future enlargements or construction of new facilities and/or cemeteries.

Chapter 4 conceptualizes the device of ‘manifestation,’ the term identifying the causal power of desires, thoughts, and words to call forth objects and even characters in Shakespeare’s comic world. In the spirit of critic Elena Zupančič, the device shows, among other things, the way that comedy can surface the amusing monstrousness and presumptuousness of human wishes. The concept of manifestation entails various literary and dramatic values that characterize Shakespearean comedy. Historically, it reflects interests and theories found in Renaissance treatises on magic, and it even parallels certain modern-day linguistic patters. The chapter formalizes and theorizes the device, drawing examples from a range of comedies. The Comedy of Errors (Dr. Pinch), A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Helana and the love potion), and The Merry Wives of Windsor (the Witch of Brainford) come in for special discussion. The chapter ends by situation manifestation in relation to entrance effects in medieval and Tudor drama and to allegorical effects in Spenser’s The Faerie Queene.

The process of identifying the witch brought questions about emotions, gender, and selfhood to the fore. As witchcraft was a crime largely without evidence, legal and religious authorities had to employ their expertise in their attempts to uncover the truth about a person. The trial process reveals the overlapping and at times contradictory individual, communal, legal, and religious understandings of not only witchcraft, but more fundamental categories of sin, morality, free will, guilt, and innocence. The trial process further reveals how individual and communal narratives took on, and themselves shaped, understandings of witchcraft, gender, and emotions in popular media, visual culture, and intellectual treatises. The way in which people attempted to make sense of themselves and each other, how the body and emotions were ‘read’, and how this was gendered, was thus at the very heart of the struggle to identify the witch.

The episodes from the novel «Chevengur» are considered in the context of this discussion.

El arquitecto Leonardo Rucabado (1875-1918) adquirió en su formación modernista en Barcelona la idea de obra de arte total. En Bilbao se sirve de las industrias artísticas de la construcción impulsadas por la Escuela de Artes y Oficios. En sus primeras obras, de villas y chalets, adopta interiores de carácter inglés frente al exterior de inspiración alemana, mostrando una clara discordancia. A ello se añadió, por un breve periodo de tiempo, el diseño de mobiliario inspirado en la Sezession vienesa. Pero sobre todo en sus casas regionalistas busca la coherencia completa entre el exterior y el interior de los edificios. En sus textos vemos el empeño personal en introducir en el diseño de interiores y el mobiliario el espíritu poético que anima todas sus obras.

The article reveals the functional peculiarities of the image of a witch in the folklore text and in the text created by an author. In the focus of the analysis is the story “Konotopska Witch” by G. F. Kvitka-Osnovianenko. For the first time in the national literature the writer has traced the way and the means of how popular beliefs or prejudices form the social consciousness. The witch's “might” of the main character gives the author an oportunity to deduce the way to the archetypal content of the image. This demonological character embodies the dark side of the female nature and exposes the attitude of a man to a woman, his fear of her power. The irrational power of the witch frightens and determines the incomprehensibility of the Otherness.

The article examines several episodes of the poem “Vladimir” by M. M. Kheraskov, highlights and analyzes two allegorical journeys of the main character. By means of allegories, the work implements the author's didactic tasks – to instruct readers on the path of virtue on the example of the character's adventures. Vladimir's wanderings take place in a fantastic space and are aimed at spiritual rebirth and salvation of the soul. The vices and temptations of the Kievan Prince appear personified before him and try to turn the hero away from receiving baptism, discredit or distort the Christian faith. The first allegorical journey corresponds to the initial stage of the inner transformation of the character, the second coincides with the final one. Going to the abode of the righteous, Vladimir finds himself in darkness and fog, symbolizing his spiritual blindness, doubts and delusions, faces monstersvices under beautiful disguises, but with the help of a magic object – the flame of faith, presented by the wise mentor Idolem – fights with them and wins. On the way to the temple in the last song of the poem, Vladimir is again stopped and confused by pagans and embodied temptations, but the hero independently distinguishes between good and evil, truth and lies. As a result, the Kievan Prince makes the right choice, overthrows opponents and reaches the goal – the true temple where he receives baptism. Vladimir's twice-completed journey reflects the metamorphosis taking place with the hero. At the same time, allegorical journeys create the fantastic background necessary for the epic, replacing the mythological component. The magical adventures of Vladimir make the plot of the poem more fascinating, illustrate the moral quest of the Kievan Prince, thus allowing you to unobtrusively educate readers without boring teachings.
