Una biografía novelada de María Teresa León: «Cervantes, el soldado que nos enseñó a hablar»
C. Perugini

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2013). Vol. 1, (2), 1

Abstract
En la biografía novelada se juntan, aparentemente contradictorios, el aspecto documental y científico de la historia con el subjetivismo y lo imaginativo de la ficción.Las cinco biografías noveladas de María Teresa León son, en el orden: El gran amor de Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer (Buenos Aires 1946); Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar el Cid Campeador (Buenos Aires 1954); Doña Jimena Díaz del Vivar. Gran señora de todos los deberes (Buenos Aires 1960); Menesteos, marinero de abril (México 1965); Cervantes, el soldado que nos enseñó a hablar (Madrid 1978). Llaman la atención inmediatamente dos elementos comunes: el haber sido escritas todas en el exilio, incluso la de Cervantes, última obra de la autora todavía exiliada en Roma, y su dedicación a figuras marcadas por un destino malhadado y heróico, y, cada una a su manera, ejemplares.La atención hacia los clásicos, y hacia Cervantes en particular, fue una constante en la generación de intelectuales que salieron de España después de la derrota. En la biografía de María Teresa se nota una fuerte compenetración entre escritores, la moderna y el antiguo, que llegará hasta la invención de detalles existenciales del biografiado, al que la autora ofrece su voz, su manera de pensar, sus ideales.Palabras clave: María Teresa León, biografía novelada, Cervantes

The Viceroyalty of Naples in Cervantes’ Novelas ejemplares
F. Armas

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2013). Vol. 1, (2), 1

Abstract
In many of his literary works Cervantes exhibits a desire for Italy, which can be encountered in his dedications and his many references to the art, literature and culture of the peninsula. Cervantes recalls in particular his lengthy stay in Naples, capital of the most important Spanish viceroyalties of the time. This essay studies Cervantes’ desire for Italy through the lenses of the Novelas ejemplares. Here, this impetus seems somewhat ambiguous in that the dedicatory to the Count of Lemos is far from laudatory and the references to the viceroyalty in the Novelas ejemplares themselves are brief and almost sinister. Instead of affirming the desire for Italy, these allusions to Naples create an almost insoluble mystery.

San Tirso de Toledo, Lope de Vega’s Lost Tragedy
A. Durán

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2013). Vol. 1, (2), 1

Abstract
This paper studies the series of fictional circumstances surrounding Lope’s lost tragedy, San Tirso de Toledo (1597), which was specifically commissioned by the town hall of Toledo to show that the city had a new patron saint, as the Jesuit Jerónimo Román de la Higuera wanted. It recounts the clash of opinions that the issue provoked between the town hall and the primate cathedral, as well as how Lope took sides in the matter. The study also provides the likely source of the tragedy and its exact date.

The fire in snow prisons: concerning the secret of love in Calderonian comedia
A. López

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2013). Vol. 1, (2), 1

Abstract
The main objective of this article is to find a pattern that explains the extraordinary profitability of the allusions to the decir sin decir, related to the hiding and revelation of the secret of love, one of the most recurrent themes in the Calderonian universe. For this, we will analyze fragments extracted from nine comedias of various genres and stages, which therefore can be considered a representative sample of the Calderonian modus scribendi.

Linguistic Norms at the Crossover: The Verbal Tenses and Modes, and the Structure of the Predicate in «Libro decimosexto» from Comentarios de erudición by Bartolomé Jiménez Patón
J. Prieto

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2013). Vol. 1, (2), 1

Abstract
This study examines verb modes and tenses as well as the predicate structure in «Libro decimosexto» of Bartolomé Jiménez Patón’s Comentarios de erudición in an effort to demonstrate how the text straddles the line between Medieval and Golden Age norms. Jiménez Patón, thus, combines traits already considered archaic at the time, due perhaps to his solid training in grammar and his linguistic awareness, with those modern solutions which, towards the end of the 1500’s, were forging the new Spanish language (that of the «plain style», which he championed), one that was gradually being refined in order to take its place as the language of culture.

A María Teresa León’s Fictional Biography: Cervantes, el soldado que nos enseñó a hablar
M. Vinatea

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2013). Vol. 1, (2), 1

Abstract
Our purpose is to study the limits between reality and fiction in the central chapters of the story of the foundation of the Convento de la Encarnación of Lima by Father Antonio de la Calancha. The convent was founded in 1556 by Leonor de Portocarrero and her daughter Doña Mencía de Sosa, widow of the crown’s traitor Francisco Hernández Girón. Despite the chronicles are consider a «hybrid genre» between literature and history by contemporary critics, Father Calancha’s story is basically historic as it follows the model of humanist histography of the XVI century. We argue that in this model aesthetic values are functional to the interpretation.

The Evil Trinity: a Real Devil in Three Different Speeches
R. Martínez

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2013). Vol. 1, (2), 1

Abstract
This article provides an analysis of the Devil as a character in three genres of discourse. The Devil appears in different guises, according to the specific persuasive purpose of each genre. Thus it is possible to infer the existence of at least three different devils brought to New Spain. A malevolent devil, the son of European Manichaeism, is useful in judicial discourses, as a character to be identified with pre-Hispanic gods, justifying the persecution of idolatry. A poetic devil appears in panegyric discourses, such as the chronicles of religious orders, where he introduces the supernatural into the writing of history. Finally, a devil who collaborates with God is present in deliberative discourses, such as some Jesuit sermons. His fate is active participation in evangelization and the reforma de costumbres.

Animal World and Rhetorical Devices in Jornadas náuticas by Fray Jacinto de Carvajal
J. Navascués

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2013). Vol. 1, (2), 1

Abstract
Jornadas náuticas (1647). Carvajal was a dominic friar and he was integrated in the expedition leaded by captain Ochagavía with the objective of discovering the union between Apure and Orinoco rivers. His chronicle brings a very rich information about animals, flora and customs of the natives. Animal world is described with rethorical strategies which are habitually learned at universities and seminars of Spain and America. Besides, I suggest that Carvajal writes for an implied reader living in America.

Laud and Satire of the Authority during Peruvian Viceroyalty: the Loa al corregidor Valdivieso, an Unknown Piece from the City of Piura (1775)
M. Guardiola

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2013). Vol. 1, (2), 1

Abstract
The present work states the existence of a short theatrical piece represented in 1775 during the celebrations for the coming to power of Matías de Valdivieso as corregidor (crown official) of Piura. Prior to the transcription of the text, it summarizes and comments its contents, and identifies its features as typical of the post-Calderon courtier loa (introductory piece) gender, conceived not as a laudatory discourse but as a «miniature comedy». Also, it conducts an approximation to the circumstances in which the loa was represented and which explain its conservation in records of a judicial process because of insults against in Piura’s authorities.

About the Inconstancy of Fortune: the Presence of the Grotesque in Constante Florinda by Gaspar Pires de Rebelo

Abstract
Reading the Infortúnios Trágicos da Constante Florinda of Gaspar Pires de Rebelo (divided in two parts published respectively in 1625 and 1633, in Lisbon), causes a remarkable impression on the reader, even on the most prudent one. This work aims to show how this impression results from the application of the grotesque to the universe of the Portugueses exemplary novels, and it also tries to explain the contours and the results of this situation within the context of Baroque literature.

Alternative Stages: The Language of Puppets in Cervantes’ Fiction
E. Rodríguez

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2013). Vol. 1, (2), 1

Abstract
Don Quixote’s fascination with Master Peter’s puppet show has spurred artists and stage directors from the 19th century to the present, creating and recreating a definitive repertoire of adaptations for puppets based on Cervantes’ works. As might be expected, in terms of sheer numbers the Don Quixote itself leads off the list of marionette performances on national and international stages. This article, however, focuses on the staging of Manuel de Falla’s opera Master Peter’s Puppet Show (1923) and the Eduardo Vasco’s sole dramatic adaptation of the epic poem Journey to Parnassus (2005). Moreover, this study investigates the aesthetics of puppetry through a close reading of these two creations, broadening the cultural and artistic legacy of Cervantes during the 20th and 21st centuries.

El pastor Quijótiz by Camón Aznar and Unamuno
E. Rivera

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2013). Vol. 1, (2), 1

Abstract
In El pastor Quijótiz (1969), Camón Aznar resorted to the antagonism ideal vs. reality, characteristic of many recreations of Cervantes’ masterpiece, to explore the problem he had in combining the ideas of his freethinking youth with his later role as an active intellectual under Franco. El pastor Quijótiz is an attempt at saving the liberal intellectuals’ utopianism of the early 20th century by transforming it into a form of private spirituality that serves as a comforter in the face of the surrounding social injustice. Camón Aznar builds upon the figure of the rebellious Don Quixote created by Unamuno, who he had admired in his youth. However, he changes the figure by adding a resigned victimization of Stoic- Christian origin.

From Politics to Dogma during Colonial Mexico Festivities: Notes on Coloquios Esperituales by Fernán González de Eslava
B. Hay

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2013). Vol. 1, (2), 1

Abstract
An important part of the dramatic representations that took place during the Colonial period in Mexico (New Spain) was meant to explain religious dogmas. In this paper, I address the relationship between the representation of dogma and politics in two of Fernán González de Eslava’s Coloquios Espirituales: the Coloquio Quinto, De los Siete Fuertes que el Virrey don Martin Enríquez mandó hacer… and the Coloquio Doce, De la Batalla Naval que el Serenísimo príncipe don Juan de Austria tuvo con el Turco.

Calderón faces himself: The Devotion of the Cross and The Purgatory of Saint Patrick
A. Sáez

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2013). Vol. 1, (1), 1

Abstract
The Devotion of the Cross and The Purgatory of Saint Patrick are a good example of the continuous exercise of the interest that Calderón shows for auto-rewriting and use of own materials. Certainly, these two religious comedies share the turn to repentance from a sinner, the central presence of the symbol of the cross, the miracle of the soul that does not abandon the body and allows the salvation and the design of the comic agent. In short, it is a case that reveals some of the dramatic keys of the poet and his effort of perfection between different works.

Metrical forms, spaces and structures in ¿De cuándo acá nos vino? of Lope de Vega
M. Vitse

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2013). Vol. 1, (1), 1

Abstract
The article examines the role of the metric in the structural design of the comedy ¿De cuando acá nos vino? by Lope de Vega, highlighting its importance, related, but not subordinated to the spatial changes and other criteria. The careful analysis of the metrical organization allows to note the elaborate technique of Lope, which maintains a remarkable consistency in the scenic, geographic, chronological, theatrical and metric criteria, in the step from one to another macrosequences established in the analysis.

The Art of Conversation: A Virtuous or Inmoral Delight?
C. Strosetzki

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2013). Vol. 1, (1), 1

Abstract
Recent linguistic pragmatics has emphasized that talking is acting. Action, however, belongs to the field of ethics. Hence, of what nature is the relationship that exists between the norms of ethics and the rules of conversation? The question is easy to answer on particular cases, for example, when asking about the permissibility of lying and deception. The matter, however, becomes more complex, when comparing the field of ethics to the rules of conversation, so it will be studied first. Then, the forms of regulated existence in society and conversation are correlated with those in politics and state. This raises the question of the extent to which the society that comes together in sociable conversation is to be seen in analogy to the society of state, so that parallels between the political theory and the theory of sociability can be found. Due to the special significance of Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas in the Late Scholasticism of the Spanish Golden Age, we take the Aristotelian ethics and politics as the starting point for this investigation.

Marmosets, Raree shows and Pulcinelle: an Analysis and Edition of a Hitherto-Unpublished Carnival Play by Antonio de Zamora
F. Plata

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2013). Vol. 1, (1), 1

Abstract
This paper is an analyisis, annotation and edition of the Mojiganga del mundinovo (‘The raree show, a carnival play’) by Antonio de Zamora. The play was performed in 1698 Madrid by the troupe of Carlos Vallejo, along with the sacramental one-act play El templo vivo de Dios (‘The living temple of God’). The hitherto unpublished text is based on the only two extant manuscripts, located in archives in Madrid. Despite the play’s title, my analysis argues that the novelty in this play is not so much the raree show, a contraption popularized four decades earlier in Golden Age theater, as the marmosets. The death of two marmosets and the ensuing desolation of their owner, Ms. Estupenda, both trigger the play and provide it with a plot. The marmosets, too, point to a changing mentality in late 17th-century society, regarding the possession among ladies of marmosets and other monkeys as pets.

Burlesque Authority and Modernity in Baroque Short Theater

Comicality and devotion: festive laugh in Lope de Vega’s hagiographical comedia

The Deified Courtier: Pagan Spectacles in El burlador de Sevilla
F. Armas

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2013). Vol. 1, (1), 1

Abstract
This essay looks at pagan disguises utilized in plays and courtly entertainments of the Golden Age, focusing on El burlador de Sevilla. Don Juan and all those who surround him, turn to mythology, pretending to be deities and thus reflecting the theatrical culture of the court where the nobility often assumed such pagan guises. When he metamorphoses himself into Jupiter, don Juan reminds us that this particular guise was common in most European courts of the times were courtiers and kings imagined themselves as abiding in a new Olympus. Don Juan, then, defies society, utilizing the same symbols of power that served to exalt the Habsburgs. Don Juan’s power of metamorphosis is seen most clearly in Tisbea and Isabela who both play the part of Europa to the god/bull.

Power relationships and conflicts between families and individuals: Lope de Vega’s Los enemigos en casa

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2013). Vol. 1, (1), 1

Abstract
Los enemigos en casa is a comedy written by Lope de Vega that has been scarcely studied. The plot focuses on the enmity among two sevillian families and the serious problems it causes to a couple of lovers belonging to the rival families. The article examines how Lope dramatizes intergenerational discord, showing paternal authoritarism’s excess, and most of all, the way it states the improper idea of familiar honor that’s displayed by paternal uncles, along the same lines of the arcaical role of patruus.

El niño caballero’s interlude and the burlesque rewriting of Romances of Chivalry
M. Perdomo

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2013). Vol. 1, (1), 1

Abstract
In the second half of the XVII century, Spanish romances of chivalry continued providing the theater and courtly festivities with characters, topic and motifs. Antonio de Solís y Ribadeneira’s interlude, El niño caballero, picks up a number of motifs from the heroic archetype that characterizes the knight, and he rewrites them in a burlesque tone. Also, the theatrical interlude stages a play of dances that the actors, among them, the famous «Juan Rana» present to the public. The article is accompanied by the critical edition of the text.

Towards the burlesque novella: Salas Barbadillo, Castillo Solórzano, and Tirso’s Los tres maridos burlados
F. Mansilla

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2013). Vol. 1, (1), 1

Abstract
This article draws attention to a type of XVIIth century novella that has been neglected or simply studied as a derivation of other literary manifestations. My objective is to define the main characteristics of a short narrative that we can name «burlesque novella». I define it as a short story (the regular extension of the baroque novella) containing in the heart of its plot an elaborate trick with an exemplary purpose. From this perspective, the burlesque novella is a show organized by noblemen for noblemen, composed by educated writers, that incorporated ridiculous characters on stage. The burlesque novella —founded by Salas Barbadillo, and continued by Castillo Solórzano and Tirso de Molina— is a narrative genre still misunderstood and in need of further exploration. Tirso’s Los tres maridos burlados is a paradigmatic literary piece from this genre.

The academies as a social celebration of the Baroque: Their reflection in Antonio Enriquez Gomez
M. Cáceres

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2013). Vol. 1, (1), 1

Abstract
Academias morales de las musas (1642) by Antonio Enríquez Gómez is one of those miscellaneous works that make use of academia’s narrative artifice in order to compile poems, plays and other loose works. They are articulated upon the concurrence of several interlocutors who expound their ideas and feelings through compositions with different degrees of elaboration. In those verses, Antonio Enríquez Gómez pours his concerns about a life shaken by the persecution he suffered at the hands of the Inquisition because of his crypto-Judaism. Although he covers diverse themes, he is mainly concerned with providing moral reflections, and with the pessimist recreation of neo-stoic topics.

«Being absent Carlos, / what difference do the festive voices applauding him make if he hears nothing?»: Sor Juana’s loas for King Carlos the Second’s birthday
R. Rice

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2013). Vol. 1, (1), 1

Abstract
Starting in 1650, Calderón de la Barca assigned a new role to the ‘loa’, elevating it artistically to the level of the ‘auto’. In America, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz followed the Spaniard’s example by aggrandizing the panegyric loa and including the essential elements: allegorical characters, hermetic fragments, emblematic reminiscences and a sensorial setting. These loas are pieces that adhere to certain templates to glorify power and exalt authority. These templates are constituted of compositional paradigms that structure the design, in part or as a whole, of the stylistic and argumentative architecture, as Arellano correctly asserts about the Auto Sacramental but also applicable to Sor Juana’s last half of the 17th century panegyric loas. I propose an analysis of the five loas that the nun composed for Carlos the Second’s birthday that consists in identifying and comparing the compositional paradigms, to be able to formulate a three act structure based on the functional identification of the paradigms.

Sacred Celebration and Political Power: Iconography of the Austrians as Advocates of the Eucharist and the Immaculate Conception in Latin America
Á. Chenel

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2013). Vol. 1, (1), 1

Abstract
In a Catholic monarchy, it is to be expected that religion played a transcendentally important role. Not just from a spiritual standpoint, however, but far beyond that, it came to be one of the basic premises of the political and dynastic identity of the Habsburgs. Based upon this, a complex theological conception of politics was constructed, and all the available means of rhetoric and persuasion in Baroque society were mobilized for propagandistic dissemination. In particular, art at the service of faith became a useful instrument as the «broadcaster» of all visually transmitted ideology. In this respect, the two pillars that supported the Pietas hispanica —distinctive signs and mystic unifying agents— carried special importance: Eucharistic and Immaculist devotion professed by the monarchs of the House of Austria. By this means, the political-confessional and propagandistic complex discourse that irradiated from the heart of the Monarchs to American territory was articulated. This article will look at some of the most significant images in relation to this theme, integrating them into the political-religious discourse of the time.

Aspects of authority and power illustrated by the Portuguese canonization celebrations of Ignatius of Loyola and of Francis Javier Cristina Osswald Universidade Nova de Lisboa
C. Osswald

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2013). Vol. 1, (1), 1

Abstract
The canonization of the founder of a Catholic religious order constitutes a milestone in the affirmation of authority by that order. As concerns to the Society of Jesus, it was a double canonization. Such an uncommon fact as this, clearly both demonstrates the power the Society had at the time at the Curia, and explains its intention of celebrating the auto-glorification. Its scenography, thus, aimed more to praise the triumph of the Society of Jesus through the use of allegorical figures such as Religion, Fame, Honour or Pomp, than anything else. The iconography of such festivities framed the first Jesuits saints within the history of the Society. Thus, the Portuguese jesuits paid homage, by means of the staging, to the beatified ones, the first jesuits and the martyrs. Moreover, the set pointed out its main devotions, characteristics and activities such as missionary work and teaching activities. Often canonizations of a certain figure were intimately related to political power in Early Modern Time. Therefore, Portuguese Jesuit festivities exalted, with a great vigour, feelings of nationalism during the Iberian Union’s time. In order to transmit the various aims, the organizers did not hesitate to use all Baroque celebrative resources (poetry, theatre, dance, music and visual arts). In other words, particularly luxurious and grandiose celebrations, including light, sound, colour, and odour spectacles or events (reference be made to the vases with perfume inside the churches) took place by that time.
Abstract
The canonization of the founder of a Catholic religious order constitutes a milestone in the affirmation of authority by that order. As concerns to the Society of Jesus, it [...]

Cuevas ludens. Rhetorical and graphic games in Homage to Quevedo (1969)
E. Marigno

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2013). Vol. 1, (1), 1

Abstract
From Homage to Quevedo (1969) of the Mexican artist Jose Luis Cuevas, I present the question of the game in Francisco de Quevedo, and, especially, in the illustrations that have inspired J. L. Cuevas. I put special attention in the rewritings of Quevedo’s universe in the drawings of J. L. Cuevas. I use critical and methodological references inspired in structuralism, formalism and constructivism, to that I add the contributions of Hans Belting, George Didi-Hubermann, W. J. T. Mitchell, and of the philosophers of postmodernism like G. Deleuze or J. Derrida.

Sonnets, Litanies and Praise in three Festivities in honor of the Virgin of Guadalupe (1601-1602)
B. Mariscal

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2013). Vol. 1, (1), 1

Abstract
When relating his journey, Friar Diego de Ocaña describes two festivities celebrated in Villa de Potosí, both dedicated to the enthronement of images of the Virgin painted by himself. The festivities included processions as well as literary pieces to honor the Virgin. Ocaña notes that among the poetic texts composed in veneration and praise of the Virgin, there were also prayer-like compositions that were sung during the processions, at the end of the Eucharistic celebration, during the Salve Regina, or during those moments when the image was placed upon the altar. In the present article particular attention is given to various texts, specifically to those which accompanied the festivities that took place with the same pomp and circumstance as those ceremonies celebrated for the feast of Corpus Christ.

Berganza and Pedro de Urdemalas, Two Cervantin Characters Walk on the Stage
A. Puche

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2013). Vol. 1, (2), 1

Abstract
The author as a theatre director, compares Pedro de Urdemalas, the principal hero of Cervante’s comedy, with Berganza, from the Converstaion of the Dogs. In the parallel of these two meta-theatrical works, he establishes some differences between the dramatic and the phililogical analysis.

Men’s Studies and the Siglo de Oro: An Exemplary Reading of The Two Damsels
C. Grünnagel

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2013). Vol. 1, (2), 1

Abstract
This article offers an interpretation of Miguel de Cervantes’ exemplary novella The Two Damsels (1613). Its theoretical and methodical basis is informed by the achievements of recent approaches from men’s studies and one of its most important representatives, R. W. Connell’s foundational work on Masculinities (2005). My reading elucidates what pre-modern readers identified as «masculine» in a literary text, particularly in cases where women dressed as men, a literary artifice and social practice which, following Judith Halberstam, I read as an example of pre-modern «female masculinity». I thus show how theories stemming from postmodernity can open up new approaches to interpreting and understanding pre-modern cultural phenomena while insisting on the distance that separates us from these pre-modern conceptions of what «being a man» signified in a long-gone culture and society. Given these twin aims, this article explains historical alterity via a current theoretical model but does so without translating that alterity immediately into concepts that may sound familiar —perhaps deceptively so.

Secrets and Secrecy in Calderón's Comedies and in Spanish Golden Age Culture. Outline of a New Research Focus in Calderonian Studies
W. Aichinger, S. Kroll

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2013). Vol. 1, (1), 1

Abstract
The public enactment of secrecy is part of the Spanish Golden Age culture. This article presents a research project, which pursues three objectives:  A study of secrecy as a core characteristic of Spanish Golden Age culture, on the basis of historiographical studies, sources and cultural theories of secrecy.  A study of Calderonian comedies of secrecy in the context of Golden Age theatre.  A case study of the comedy El secreto a voces, including a critical edition that also explores the aesthetics of secrecy and the history of early staging in Madrid and Vienna.  With this threefold approach we aim at a deeper understanding of both Calderón’s originality and of the secret patterns of Baroque culture.

A predictive evolution model of rocky coasts
C. Paredes, R. Castedo, M. Llorente, L. Laín

Revista Internacional de Métodos Numéricos para Cálculo y Diseño en Ingeniería (2013). Vol. 29, (1)

Abstract
The recession of coastal cliffs is a widespread phenomenon on the rocky shores that are exposed to the combined incidence of marine and meteorological processes that occur in the shoreline. This phenomenon is revealed violently and occasionally as gravitational movements of the ground and can cause material or human losses. Their prediction is difficult, however it is basic for the proper coastal management and the clear understanding of erosion risks. There are several models of the coastal cliff recession processes. From the stochastic type models based on historical erosion events, to the theoretical models as described by Eikonal or Boussinesq equations. In this work an intermediate solution is adopted (process-response model), such as models based on simplified balance of forces as trigger mechanisms involved in the erosion of the rocks. This model fits the marine dynamics: sea level changes, tidal range and wave transformation, along with the evolution of the land: the slope of the surf zone, erosion and rock falls. So far these models have been limited to small slope cliffs, since its numerical stability and the propagation of errors are unknowns. For these reasons, the development of a generic model that reproduces the spatial and temporal evolution of a cliff-2D profile (platform, beach and slope) consisting on semi-consolidated heterogeneous materials, is presented. In addition, the computational implementation, the study of different numerical resolution techniques and the produced errors, are also exposed and analysed.
