This investigation is centered on two objectives: one is to determine whether in Tomelloso, which from 1950 onwards was characterised as being a city linked to literature, this activity is still relevant in the distribution of its spare time. The second objective is to verify whether this city is still a place from which new writers regularly emerge. In addition, this paper aims to provide a sociological explanation of this social phenomenon. Methodological triangulation was used, with qualitative exploratory interviews, surveys, and the management of the bibliography and documentary archives. It is confirmed that there is still a major link to literature in Tomelloso and that writers are still continuously emerging. The phenomenon is explained by relating it to the theories of symbolic interactionism and Robert K. Merton's concept of self-fulfilling prophecies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The term taste began to gain prominence in the aesthetic-literary debate in Italy in the last decade of the 17th century and beginning of the 18th century, a time when Italian culture and literature were aware of being in a phase of decadence due to the exhaustion of the Baroque. This study aims to analyse the meaning that the concept or idea of good taste acquires in the treatise Riflessioni sopra il buon gusto nelle scienze e nelle arti (1708 and 1715) by Ludovico Antonio Muratori, undoubtedly the most representative author of aesthetic thought and literary criticism of his time. The treatise is conceived as an ambitious project of reform and renewal of Italian cultural and literary life, in which the idea of good taste should play a fundamental role. But as the study aims to demonstrate, despite the merit of Muratori's work and its influence on later authors, his idea of good taste remained fundamentally associated with that of judgement, that is, with an intellectual and rational faculty, capable of distinguishing between what is and is not beautiful, and not as something proper to sensibility from the point of view of fruition.

The article addresses the Hispanic-Jewish influence on the cultural development of Spain, highlighting the importance of Jews and converts in cultural activity and the development of the Spanish language and literature. It reviews the historiographic and philological research on the Jewish presence in the Iberian Peninsula and their contributions to the cultural and literary development of Spain. It discusses the presence of Jewish communities in the Nasrid kingdom of Granada and their participation in commercial and artisanal activities. It also mentions the expulsion of Jews from Spain in 1492 and their influence on the cultural development of the country. The translation work carried out by Hispanic-Jews in the court of King Alfonso X is highlighted, which boosted the use and prestige of Castilian as a language of high culture. In addition, the influence of Hispanic-Jews on the cultural development of Spain is analyzed from the origin of Spanish literature and the first manifestations of Castilian as a language of culture. The hypothesis is raised that a Jew was the creator of the moaxaja, a literary genre. The influence of Jewish culture in Spain has been decisive for its cultural flourishing, although it has disappeared from the collective consciousness of Spaniards. However, interest in the Jewish presence in Spanish culture is increasing. [Extracted from the article]

This article analyses how normative and legal bodies have dealt with literary instruction in Spain during the first half of the XXth century. Acknowledging the coercive dimension of power, executed through the control of education (Althusser) and especially through the selection of contents (Bourdieu), the objective is to contribute to curriculum studies (Goodson) through the comparison of the specific role assigned to literary education within the different legal frames of these four decades: 1901 Plan, 1926 Plan, 1931 Decreet and 1938 Plan, which emanate from four historically and politically defined periods: Alfonso XIII's reign, Primo de Rivera's dictatorship, IInd Republic and the first Francoist legislation.

Introduction: Universal literature is a source of data to know diseases through history. Aims: Encourage readers to explore diseases and improve their health through literature. Methodology: The selected text is Oliver Twist for being the best known of Charles Dickens in his English and Spanish version. All the texts related to health are analyzed and the most representative ones are chosen, as well as those that are most repeated. A comparison is also made with the situation in Spain in those years. Results: The level of development of Great Britain was much higher than that of Spain. Technology had reached the countryside, the mines and the city. The epidemics, the health system, work accidents did not have many similarities due to the backwardness suffered by Spain. Conclusion: Literature serves to raise public awareness of the importance of health. Literature should be encouraged as an instrument for the prevention of diseases, even writers who describe diseases without knowing it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Since the Middle Ages, displaying a coat of arms meant to have achieved a high rank in the social status, to evoke the prestige of a lineage and to visualize merits in public. With the passage of time, this external sign of honor proved to be very effective in the strategy of lineages to legitimize their ascendancy, increase their prestige, identify their properties, brag about their wealth, justify their actions and perpetuate their memory. In this work we will show its historical evolution, its echo in the treatises and in the Castilian popular proverbs as well as its cultural representation in contemporary literature.

In Franco's totalitarian state, censorship became from the start an efficient mechanism to control artistic production - and by extension, ideas - which was conceived to maintain and enhance the values of Francoist regime. But its violent and ruthless measures did not prevent it from being considered by some as arbitrary and inconsistent. The present article argues that Francoist censorship was a rigid and normalised system with fixed criteria that guided and determined censors' decisions. The study carried out here compares three novels sharing the theme of sexuality, which were originally written in English and French and translated into Spanish under Franco's dictatorship: The last of the wine, by Mary Renault (1961); Safo, by Alphonse Daudet (1964); and The anti-death league, by Kingsley Amis (1967). It aims to identify examples of censorship manipulation and establish translational patterns by analysing - both quantitatively and qualitatively - the strategies or censorship mechanisms detected in the translated texts. The results of the study illustrate the influence that Francoist censorship exerted upon the translation of novels with sexual content, contributing to unveiling the reasons behind their alterations.

The pressure of audiovisual hegemony in transmitting reality has forced the press to give a spectacular character to its content. There has been a notable evolution in design and also in narrative conception. Melodrama, entertainment or impact have acquired a scale that relegates depth and interpretation into the background. Within this change, accident and crime reports, far from being an exception, have become one of the cutting-edge areas. This is confirmed in this article, which analyses the evolution of style and journalistic genres in the Spanish quality newspapers (El País, ABC, El Mundo, Diario 16, La Vanguardia de Barcelona, El Periódico de Catalunya and El Correo Español-El Pueblo Vasco) in their coverage of eleven of the main big accidents, natural disasters and crimes that occurred in Spain between 1977 and 2000.

This article discusses the development of the social sciences in Spain during the latter half of the 19th century. It examines the influence of naturalism and Charles Darwin's evolutionary theory on both the scientific community and Spanish society as a whole. The author analyzes the use of evolutionary theory to explain certain social conditions in Spain, including poverty, crime, and general social inequality. He also studies the role of industrial development in socio-cultural disparity, marginalization, and social degeneration.

At the beginning of the Hispanic colonization in America, the system of identification of the people who belonged to a community conditioned the acquisition of the advantageous status of "neighbour" to a legal process. This allowed all the members of the community - no matter their ancestors - to have access to that status. In the XVII century this system was replaced by one in which the candidate's acceptance depended on his behaviour and social condition. This led to the exclusion of many native born members. The fact that both, the Creole and the American land identity were underestimated, and the fact that the Spanish were chosen for local administration posts over the Americans, led to a fight for the Creole rights which is reflected in the discourse. The literate members of the American communities used their writings to position themselves socially. The use of a series of strategies in the written work of these Creole authors allows the reading of a proof of vicinity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
