Air pollution exposure and its effects on idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
Introduction Major urban pollutants have a considerable influence on the natural history of lung disease. However, this effect is not well known in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Aim This study aimed to investigate the effects of air pollution on clinical worsening, lung function, and radiological deterioration in patients with IPF. Methods This exploratory retrospective cohort study included 69 patients with IPF, monitored from 2011 to 202…
“A las riberas de mis ojos”
This article reflects on recent work (predominantly on Anglophone and Francophone contexts) that blends Relevance Theory with an embodied account of language that is particularly sensitive to the kinesic features of the poetic text. Early-modern Spanish poetry is generally sidelined from these discussions. Representative poems by the Conde de Salinas and Gabriel Bocángel will be taken, therefore, as a testing ground in which to explore how insigh…
Relationship between air pollution exposure and the progression of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis in Madrid
Introduction Air pollution has a significant impact on the morbidity and mortality of various respiratory diseases. However, this has not been widely studied in diffuse interstitial lung diseases, specifically in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Objective In this study we aimed to assess the relationship between four major air pollutants individually [carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ), ozone (O 3 ), and nitrogen oxides (NO x )] and the…
Trevor J. Dadson (1947–2020)
For Trevor J. Dadson, the renowned philologist and historian, “ser hispanista” was the driving and defining force of his existence. When prompted to reflect on his career in an interview carried out in Madrid in 2018, he communicated the passion that had shaped his engagement with Spanish culture, and marked out the trajectory of his life:These words, never intended to serve as an epitaph, seem now to have acquired a special weight in Trevor’s st…

Poetry ‘Bodied Forth’ in Time
In 1981 Andrés Amorós welcomed modern criticism’s re-evaluation of Cervantes’ poetry as indicative of a new attitude that recognized Cervantine irony in the writer’s assessment of his own poetic performance. This article will suggest that having belatedly identified the ironic weight of Cervantes’ poetic self-fashioning, we must now attempt to understand it. Cervantes’ final poetic journey, the Viaje del Parnaso (1614), a parodic policing of the …
Introduction Realizing la fuerça de imaginar

Garcilaso de la Vega and the material culture of Renaissance Europe
Metaphor and Matter(s) Arising
This article focuses on the concept of metaphor as metaphorai, as varied means of transfer and transport, specifically on Góngora's innovative development of the metaphor as a vehicle for experiential transformation and epistemological exploration; ultimately emphasizing a hitherto neglected valorization of affect in the liberation of the imagination. Although Góngora's use of metaphor became a major source of controversy in the debate unleashed …
Pues tanto se esconde’
El conde Partinuplés (first published 1653) is one of only two extant plays written by the Sevillan poet/dramatist Ana Caro Mallén de Soto (‘la décima musa sevillana’). Despite McKendrick's dismissal of the play as ‘extremely bad’, it has been the object of substantial critical scrutiny since the 1970s, impelled in great part by the production of modern editions (Luna and Delgado) and by Kaminsky's bio-biographical study (1973). Two responses hav…
Population Dynamics and Sustainable Management of Mescal Agaves in Central Mexico
TEK, local perceptions of risk, and diversity of management practices of Agave inaequidens in Michoacán, Mexico
Interchange of knowledge and management experiences developed by handlers is crucial for the regional conservation, recovering, and sustainable management of A. inaequidens populations
Vulnerability and risk management of Agave species in the Tehuacán Valley, México
BACKGROUND: Our study analysed the vulnerability of the useful Agave species of the Tehuacán Valley, Mexico, considering ecological, cultural and economic aspects, and management types. We hypothesized that management intensity is proportional to the degree of risk of a species in order to decrease its vulnerability. METHODS: Distribution of Agave species was monitored in 36 types of plant associations. Ethnobotanical studies were conducted in 13…
Broaching the Void
Góngora's indeterminate poetics fuelled a controversy of extravagant antithetical positions. This article argues that (a) we do the original participants, and Góngora's poetry, little justice, if we fail to take account of the epistemic and politico-ideological factors which informed these interferential acts of reading and writing; (b) the diachronic imperatives of Góngora's poetics, its strategies of aemulatio, gain sense only when perceived in…
Influence of traditional markets on plant management in the Tehuacán Valley
BackgroundThe Tehuacán Valley, Mexico is a region with exceptionally high biocultural richness. Traditional knowledge in this region comprises information on nearly 1,600 plant species used by local peoples to satisfy their subsistence needs. Plant resources with higher cultural value are interchanged in traditional markets. We inventoried the edible plant species interchanged in regional markets documenting economic, cultural and ecological data…

Pues no entiendo tus palabras, / y tus bofetones siento
In recent years substantial critical attention has been devoted to an exploration of the darker voices at work in Lope de Vega's drama. Within this reassessment of Lope's work, the subversive role of language has been highlighted, most significantly from the perspective of speech act theory. This study of Lope's play El perro del hortelano, operating within a similar theoretical perspective, analyses the way in which the constantly shifting rheto…
