Humanism and the crisis of memory in early modern Spain
A Cognitive Poetics of Wonder
This article argues that Fernando de Herrera, Renaissance Spain’s foremost poetic theorist, blended classical poetics and rhetoric with facultative psychology to craft a revolutionary framework of poetic thought in his most important work, the Anotaciones (1580). Drawing on James J. Murphy’s concept of metarhetoric, the analysis foregrounds how in the Anotaciones Herrera intertwined semantics, cognitive processes involving perception, imagination…
‘Que la beldad es vuestra, la voz mía’
‘Oro no rayó así flamante grana’ (1623), the last love sonnet by Luis de Góngora, has eluded the full comprehension of its critics since the seventeenth century due to its thematic ambiguity and formal obscurity. This article examines its critical reception with the tools afforded by François Recanati’s cognitive pragmatics to analyse how each critic has pragmatically responded to the sonnet’s interpretive cruxes. From this vantage point, it is h…
A la sombra de Salustio y Lucrecio
This article examines the influence of Sallust and Lucretius on the ideological postulates of Herrera’s Anotaciones, set out in the prologue to the reader written by Francisco de Medina. The article highlights the rhetorical and intertextual strategies deployed by the Sevillian humanist to prop up the role of Herrera at the top of a Republic of Letters of global reach at the end of the sixteenth century, while shedding light on how his canonizati…
Ecos globales
Según el filósofo alemán Peter Sloterdijk, la revolución magallánica auspiciada por Carlos V fue el gran hecho diferencial que definió los avatares de la temprana Edad Moderna europea. Habitante de un exterior sin finis terrae, el ser humano quedará desde entonces condenado a girar alrededor de la tierra, allá por donde circule su capital y le destine su deber (54). Con él también llevará su poesía. La llamada república soldadesca de las letras, …
The Loss of Spain
This article offers a comparative study of the emplotment of the Loss of Spain in the Poema de Fernán González and in Alfonso X’s Estoria de Espanna. A study on their sources and genres is followed by an examination of their ideological premises in order to foreground the reasons behind their manifest divergences in the treatment of the Loss, focused on the conceptualization of treason and the role of Count Don Julián. The results provide fresh i…
Reading Garcilaso’s Love Sonnets in the Anotaciones
This article applies the insights of Relevance Theory to examine how Fernando de Herrera’s commentarial strategies shape the readerly engagement with Garcilaso’s love sonnets in the Anotaciones by exploiting specific instances of relevance proper to the dynamics of the commentary genre. The analysis concludes that Herrera’s instrumentalization of inferential protraction across the commentary to ‘Soneto III’, ‘Soneto V’ and ‘Soneto VIII’ results i…
Energeia as Defamiliarization
In their work on Aristotle’s Rhetoric, Monica Westin and George Kennedy resort to defamiliarization, a device coined by one of the leading figures of Russian Formalism, Viktor Shklovsky, to comment on rhetorical energeia. This connection is examined taking into account the recent trends in the scholarship on energeia to determine whether it is methodologically and metatheoretically productive. Drawing on the insights afforded by cognitive approac…
Identidad, negación y emancipación
Este artículo propone un análisis de la emancipación del yo narrativo de Reivindicación del Conde don Julián (1970) de Juan Goytisolo desde la dialéctica hegeliana. Para desarrollar nuestra hipótesis, ofrecemos una breve exposición de los principios de la dialéctica hegeliana como paso previo al análisis propiamente dicho, donde se propone una nueva manera de entender la novela que permite matizar las opiniones de aquellos críticos que consideran…
