It focuses on the method of “thick description” as formulated by the American anthropologist Clifford Geertz and as criticized by German literary scholar and ethnologist Thomas Fechner-Smarsly. In connection with the so-called anthropological turn, it consists in the application of ethnology in literary criticism. According to Geertz a semantic density arises from the complexity of described, but Geertz fails to formulate a general theory. Fechner sees a greatpotential for literary studies in the method of “thick description”, but he criticizes the lack of system in Geertz’, when he is reluctant to formulate a generally applicable model of this method. Fechner therefore calls for contextualization, organization and instantiation methods of “thick description” in literary studies and, moreover, emphasizes the interdisciplinary overlap. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11956/97115 Carlos de Sigüenza y Góngora - el paraíso terrenal en la Nueva España; CARLOS DE SIGÜENZA Y GÓNGORA - THE IDEA OF THE EARTHLY PARADISE IN NEW SPAIN ; ; This paper deals with different possible ways to approach the idea of the “Earthly Paradise” in a religious chronicle, written by Carlos de Sigüenza y Góngora. His work connects the mythological and utopian understanding of the “Paradise”, placed in the West, with its religious and allegorical dimension. His possible aim is to display the patriotic pride through the hagiographical depiction of virtuous nuns. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11956/97112 El Inca Garcilaso y sus proyecciones; INCA GARCILASO AND HIS PROJECTIONS ; ; The reading of Inca Garcilaso de la Vega faces the multiplicity of perspectives which emerge from his texts, and a number of discursive functions which create bridges between his cultural production and ours. His culture is defined by two coasts with his discourse moving between them; he adopts the position of a mediator in his cultural, creative, and translation practice. Inca Garcilaso emerges as an early model of a transplanted (transterrado) intellectual. His works unite the oral and the written, the indigenous lore, the memory of his ancestors alongside the narrations of the chroniclers and that of the conquistadors, all for the sake of an identity which he reclaimed with urgency. It is this plurality of cultures and lores which makes him enormously topical today. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11956/97114 Rubén Darío y la pintura. Principio ekfrástico y sinestesia; RUBÉN DARÍO AND PAINTING. EKPHRASTIC PRINCIPLE AND SYNESTHESIA ; ; The article examines the relationships between literature and painting in the works of Rubén Darío. The issue is seen in the context of modernis synesthesia, which was strongly present in the literary ideology of the modernist discourse, and it is analyzed with the help of the theories of ekphrasis of Murray Krieger. In Darío’s canonical works painting plays an important role, both in the form of literary references, and the so called “transpositions of art”, in its intent to create a total art. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z
