These past decades have seen an emergence of studies on speech acts. Condolences, however, are among the least addressed out of them. Bibliography on this subject is scarce if compared to that of petitions, promises, offers, and so on, more so in Spanish, where papers on this subject are few and far between. This gap is especially notable in diachronic studies. This paper aims to offer a first approach to strategies for delivering condolences in 18th and 19th century letters written in the Canary Islands, Spain. Its goal is to describe which are the most common semantic formulas used to give condolences, and how much they resemble those described by different authors regarding this speech act in modern languages.

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar las cartas que las escritoras Concha Méndez (1898–1986), Marina Romero (1908–2001) y Julia Uceda (1925–) sostuvieron con Concha Lagos, cuando esta dirigía desde Madrid la revista Cuadernos de Ágora (1956–1964) y la colección de libros Ágora (1955–1973). Las cartas estudiadas pertenecen al "Archivo Personal Concha Lagos" alojado en la Biblioteca Nacional de España. El estudio de estas cartas persigue, por un lado, reflexionar acerca de las similitudes y diferencias de tres formas de diáspora causadas por la guerra civil española: (1) el exilio republicano; (2) la permanencia en el extranjero de españoles que vivían fuera de España de forma temporal antes de la guerra; (3) el exilio voluntario de la generación de los niños de la guerra provocado por las restricciones ideológicas de la dictadura franquista. Por otro lado, esta correspondencia permite el análisis del impacto de la guerra en la trayectoria literaria y en la identidad como mujeres autoras de estas escritoras. Finalmente, este grupo de cartas posibilita profundizar en el puente que las escritoras en el exilio sostienen con Concha Lagos y la función que esta última desempeña como mediadora cultural posibilitando la publicación, difusión y promoción de las escritoras en el exilio en la España franquista. Junto a la correspondencia, esta investigación utilizará otros materiales como memorias o textos literarios de índole autobiográfica que sirvan para reconstruir el puente que las escritoras en el exilio forjaron con la editora Lagos durante los años de la Dictadura.

The article studies the correspondence between Rafael Gutiérrez Girardot and Rafael Humberto Moreno-Durán from 1977 to 2004. The purpose is to reveal how, in this intellectual relationship, common projects are sought in which some specific roles are defined within the literary field. As a literary critic, Gutiérrez Girardot develops the function of judging and locating Moreno-Durán's novelistic work within the scene of Hispanic American literature. The latter, through his writing, seeks to position himselfin the international literary scene and mediates for the other to disseminate his critical work in Colombia and Spain.

This article examines the activities of Bernard Renau d'Éliçagaray a French naval officer and engineer, taking them as a model for all those who, whilst in an intermediate administrative role, carried out fieldwork to rapidly and securely enthrone the Bourbons in Spain. His mission was to ensure that the new dynasty was established peacefully, but failing that, his extensive knowledge of the main ports' and fortifications' defences would help to resist the onslaught by those who questioned Philip V's legitimacy.

The spreading of letter-writing and its social implication during the Modern Age resulted in the appearance of books in vernacular languages to learn how to write a letter correctly from the mid-Sixteenth century in Spain, as well as the rest of Europe. Among the varied examples offered to the readers to adapt their correspondence to the customs and conventions of this time, it's possible to find some letters directed to the Pope, who certainly had to be one of the most demanding addressees. In these treatises the Pontiff not only appears as the absent to whom the missives are written, but he also sometimes takes the quill. This collection of model letters makes up a imaginary correspondence that must be studied from the perspective of the epistolary theory, analyzing the typologies of letters proposed, the epistolary topics and themes allowed - the matters that could be discussed directly with the Pope, and those other ones that required intermediaries -, the authorized senders and their self-representative strategies on the paper.
