Scenes of Cervantes in Chile: the Case of «Memorias de un perro escritas por su propia pata» by Juan Rafael Allende
J. Rivas

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2015). Vol. 3, (2), 1

Abstract
It is possible to recognize the influence of Cervantes in Spanish America from the moment its works arrived to our continent in the XVII century. The Chilean literature is not out of that process: in the literary field one of the highlights is the writer Juan Rafael Allende, from mid XIX Century, who’s novel Memorias de un perro escritas por su propia pata (1893) shows a clear inspiration on one of the Exemplary novels titled Coloquio de los perros. Rafael Allende’s work, narrated according to the XVII century picaresque novel principles, tells about the life’s ups and downs of a dog named Rompecadenas, who constantly changes owners and get a good number of experiences that allow it to make its performance as a pícaro even better and, by the way, to display a series of pictures of Chilean social reality.

Santa Teresa de Jesús in Romania. Interview with Christian Tămaș, the Translator into Romanian of St.Teresa’s Works
A. Sandu-Andries

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2015). Vol. 3, (1), 1

Abstract
Saint Theresa of Ávila lived in Spain, during the complicated XVIth century. A life of obedience, dedicated to writing and to the foundation of Carmelite monasteries. The present interview (a modest homage upon the celebration of 500 years since the birth of the saint) allows us to approach the life and works of a top rank personality of the Occidental religious literature from the perspective of a translator, more precisely from the perspective of the man who transposed her words into Romanian. A specialist in Arabic language and literature, a novelist and translator from Italian, Catalan, French, Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese, Irish and English, Christian Tămaș published, between 1994 and 1998, four of the main works of the Spanish writer, being the first to present her thoughts and ideas to the Romanian reader at that time. A lucid witness of times when openness and intelectual curiosity were highly valued, the translator evokes certain aspects regarding the way in which she has been perceived in Romania, pinpointing the difficulty of the Theresian text and speaking of the role of religious translation, the present state of the act of reading, the lights and shadows of a society —the modern day, Romanian one.

The Duchess and Altisidora: Two Enemies of Dulcinea
A. Iriarte

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2015). Vol. 3, (2), 1

Abstract
Don Quixote creates Dulcinea of El Toboso, the beloved of the knight-errant, out of his recollections of Aldonza Lorenzo. The character of Dulcinea is very different from the peasant woman who inspired her creation, to the point that the latter is entirely effaced, while the imaginary Dulcinea, as she has taken possession of don Quixote’s inner world, becomes stronger and plays an increasingly important role in the novel, exerting influence on the development of events. This will be more evident in the second part of the novel, where two women at the duke’s court, the duchess herself and Altisidora, take on the task of unmasking the nonexistence of Dulcinea, and induce don Quixote to fall in love with a real woman, a role assumed by Altisidora. In this essay, I argue that the more these real women question Dulcinea, the stronger will be don Quixote’s feelings for his imaginary beloved. This process takes place within one of the central conflicts of Cervantes’ novel: the struggle between the creatures of the imagination and those we accept as real.

Ricote, a Spaniard outside of Spain: Identity and Spaces for Freedom in Cervantes
F. Parga

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2015). Vol. 3, (2), 1

Abstract
This paper offers a reading of the Morisco character Ricote (Quijote, II, 54) from the perspective of the experience of emigration and exile of a Spaniard outside of Spain. The paper offers also a reflection on the related issues of Ricote’s identity as a «Spaniard», as well as that of the spaces created by Cervantes within the novel to present, with a certain degree of freedom, both a moving portrait of the character, and a defense of his expulsion from Spain.

Poetry in Fiction: an approximation to the structure of «El curioso impertinente»
S. Aguilar

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2015). Vol. 3, (2), 1

Abstract
The present work analyzes how poetry breaks into the structure of El curioso impertinente. Firstly, it should be highlighted that El curioso impertinente is a novel considered as fiction within the don Quixote’s frame of reference (fictional plane), and in which characters are constantly acting fake situations, that ends up becoming true, which leads them to a renewed need to feign or to lie. From this perspective, the work focuses on the paradox that, given this plane fixed so far from the reality of the reader, the three poems recited by the characters come from a world outside fiction since they have actual authors in Cervantes’s time. Furthermore, the two sonnets ‘written’ by Lotario belong to the more serious Cervantine poetry, and thus belong to Spanish Golden Age lyrical tradition. Another paradox is also present: the five poems, which are rated as literature by the characters of the novel, foreshadow the events that will take place in the novel’s reality; unveiling a structure in which reality is constantly imitating fiction.

Fame and Infamy of Duke of Braganza in the Spanish Golden Age Theatre
F. Matito

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2015). Vol. 3, (2), 1

Abstract
«Portuguese matter» is a subject that inspired a large amount of plays of the Spanish Golden Age. This is especially the case in the period of the dual monarchy, in which the outstanding episodes in the history of Portugal and their main protagonists are dealt, in general, from a Castilian-centered perspective. This article specifically focuses on the events involving the dukes of Braganza. These events were of great importance not only for the history of Portugal but for the Austrian monarchy. They also served as the source of a number of comedies of the theatre in the Golden Age. Several of Lope de Vega’s plays are analyzed including El duque de Viseo, El más galán portugués, with the intention of contrasting them with the Granada playwright Cubillo de Aragón’s La tragedia del duque de Berganza. The analysis of the dramatizations evidences the different attitudes of both playwrights towards the house of Braganza. It also evidences the different assessment of Portuguese nobility in relation to the historical circumstances that they experienced during the reign of John II of Portugal. In the case of Lope de Vega, during the same time period as the dual monarchy, the plays are written in order to ennoble his image and, in the case of Cubillo, to validate his reputation as a traitor, following the uprise against the monarchy of Phillip IV, which lead to the secession of Portugal.

The Mario Vargas Llosa’s «niña mala»: Literary Descendant from the Picaresque?
G. Pollarolo

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2015). Vol. 3, (1), 1

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship, from an intertextual perspective, between Las travesuras de la niña mala by Mario Vargas Llosa (2006), and the picaresque genre developed in Spain during the 16th and 17th century. In order to achieve this aim, I will take into account the filiation discourse and the appearance of the picaresque canon, as well as the female picaresque works ignored by the critics. Vargas Llosa draws the character of the «niña mala» gathering charateristics which belong both to male and female picaro.

Using a close reading of text and a detailed analysis of the text’s sources, we discover that it is more than just a complaint from one of Lope’s female admirers, finding that the letter by Amarilis, in the tradition of El Inca Garcilaso, is the Peruvian mestizo’s cry (Amarilis) for «another» homeland —«Spain», as symbolized by Lope.

On the Meanings of Bilingualism in Jorge de Montemayor’s «Diana»: the Symbolic Dimension of the Mondego Fields
M. Anacleto

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2015). Vol. 3, (2), 1

Abstract
This article discusses the meanings of bilingualism in Jorge de Montemayor’s Diana. This microanalysis aims to demonstrate the centrality of this novel within the aesthetic framework of Iberian baroque. In a close reading analysis, the fleeting love story between the two Portuguese shepherds, Duarda and Danteo, located in the last book of the Siete Libros de la Diana, is viewed as a strategic mise en abyme for the construction of a ‘modern’ perspective on the baroque universe of the «libros de pastores», and the consequent transition from bucolic lyricism to bucolic narrative. This will be the central argument for this reflection, anchored on a plural vision of the interconnections between Portugal and Spanish literature in the «Siglo de Oro».

Mechanisms of Secrets and Secrecy in «El secretario confuso» by Jacinto Cordeiro
M. Cereceda

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2015). Vol. 3, (2), 1

Abstract
This article studies the mechanism of secrets and secrecy in El secretario confuso (1634), comedy by Jacinto Cordeiro; he is a playwright that belongs to the group of lusitan authors that write in Spanish during the Dual Monarchy period (1580-1640). This work, that can be included in the secretario subtype of comedia palatina genre —based on the infatuation between a noble lady and her secretary— shows thematic and structural coincidences with the main comedies of this modality —El perro del hortelano by Lope de Vega and El vergonzoso en palacio by Tirso de Molina—, but providing new variations to this corpus focussed on the communicational dynamics of remaining silent, concealing and declaring love between the different characters.

Tirso de Molina's comedy «Las Quinas de Portugal» and Salazar's censorship

Abstract
In March 1968, Portuguese censors stopped the broadcast on public television —which was the only television network at the time— of Tirso de Molina’s comedy Las quinas de Portugal. This play stages the most important creation myth for the Portuguese nation: on the eve of the battle of Ourique, a crucified Christ appeared and offered Count Afonso Henriques his five holy wounds as a symbol for the Portuguese coat of arms. In this article, I intend to understand the ethical and political reasoning of the censors who read this play, written by one of the most important playwrights of the Spanish Golden Age

Abstract
Francisco Botelho de Morais e Vasconcelos (1670-1747), a Portuguese poet of Castilian language, lived and bonded with remarkable Spanish intellectuals of his time; he reached fame while still alive, he was raised to the status of Honorary Member of the Spanish Royal Academy, and he left us a legacy which includes a prolific and ground-breaking poetic and literary work. He set up a literary academy in his own hometown, an episode we will further explore, by including an unpublished manuscript authored by some of its members. He is, notwithstanding, an insufficiently celebrated author within the ambit of Iberian Studies.

Portugal in the Works of Bartolomé Jiménez Patón (1569-1640)
J. Garau

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2015). Vol. 3, (2), 1

Abstract
Throughout his works, Bartolomé Jiménez Patón mentions Portugal and some of its writers on a number of occasions. In the books that have been recovered of his Comentarios de erudición (1621), he cites authors such as Fernando López de Castañeda or Joao de Barros, who are associated with the popular vogue of the period for portentous works, of which the Spanish Humanist was so fond of. A large number of his commentaries concerning Portugal center on justifying dynastic unity, based on his interpretation of the history of Gregorio López Madera, who he admired so much, which has as its background the image of Hispania. To a certain extent, the new government of Olivares would try to carry out this policy. Of no less interest is his description of the city of Lisbon in which he presents the idea of ‘exemplariness’, a notion he has in common with other descriptions by Mateo Alemán, Cervantes or Tirso, although in Patón’s, such exemplariness appears in contrast with the picturesque depiction of the rogues of the Rua Nova.

Christ as a Gambler in «Auto Sacramental del Juego del Hombre» by Luis Mejía de la Cerda

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2015). Vol. 3, (1), 1

Abstract
This article contains a deep analysis of the sacramental play Auto Sacramental del Juego del Hombre written by Luis Mejía de la Cerda in 1625. The piece is composed taking a card game as the core topic and representing Christ as a player betting amongst the Death, Devil and World. One of the most remarkable characteristics is the absolute presence of the play in a devote text, because of the combination of such mundane and religious features. But it is necessary to say, that this way of leisure was very popular during the Golden Age period, where people of every social class were willing to enjoy.

Erudition, Dialogue and Instruction in «Noches claras» by Manuel de Faria e Sousa
P. Pereira

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2015). Vol. 3, (2), 1

Abstract
In Noches claras by Manuel de Faria e Sousa, among discourses and chapters which serve different purposes, an intense programme of cultural divulgation starts to take form, which offers the readers themes of social and religious nature as well as of moral philosophy, stimulating their intellectual curiosity. By combining the strong didactic aesthetics of the miscellanea, as it was cultivated in the Iberian Peninsula in the 16th and 17th centuries, with the specific features of dialogue, the project gained density and gave way to a more pleasant use than the mere occasional search for information. The variety in themes and sense of erudition, resulting from a wide range of ancient and modern cultural and religious sources, are now seen as part of a more coherent composition, thus overcoming the risks of fragmented reading. On the other hand, the autobiographical drive which can be found across a significant part of Faria e Sousa’s literary production, allows him to come closer to the essay genre, as the author is regarded as the one who is responsible for carefully choosing the material, organizing and exposing it based on his knowledge and life experience which were the marks of the discrete man.

Abstract
This work takes as its starting point Eugenio Asensio’s affirmation that the greatest admirer of Jorge Ferreira de Vasconcelos and his comedies would have been Lope de Vega. He attempts to prove this thesis by pointing out the similarities between the Eufrosina (1555) and Lope’s La Dorotea (1632) and, to a certain extent, even the Aulegrafia (1619). Other points of contact between the lives and works of these two great figures of the Iberian theater are also considered, in order to understand how Lope de Vega processed his reception of the works of the Portuguese comedy writer of the sixteenth century

Kings, Saints and Husbands: Portuguese Characters in the Golden Age Theatre
M. Sellers

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2015). Vol. 3, (2), 1

Abstract
The Portuguese reality is part of the thematic heritage of the Spanish Golden Age theatre which highlights from the Lusitanian their courage at war and their excess in passion. Literary interactions took place in two senses: the Lusitanian tradition was treated in Spanish pieces, and Portuguese playwrights wrote in Castilian following Lope de Vega in his Arte nuevo de hacer comedias en este tiempo (1609). Although history and hagiography will be the most exploited aspects due to the impact of their protagonists, on other occasions Portugal will be used as a setting to universal conflicts. Kings such as D. Afonso Henriques, D. João II and D. Sebastião star in works of Tirso de Molina, Lope de Vega or Cubillo de Aragón; and El príncipe constante by Calderón and Caer para levantar by Moreto, Matos Fragoso and Cáncer relate, respectively, the lives of two Portuguese saints, S. Fernando and S. Gil. We will analyse El príncipe constante and A secreto agravio, secreta venganza by Calderón and Las quinas de Portugal by Tirso de Molina, with the aim of discovering the degree of involvement between the dramaturgical approaches and historical context that includes or propitiates them, in order to try to reveal the elements that motivated the rise and the decline of Portuguese topics in the seventeenth century Spanish theatre.

Portugal y los portugueses en el teatro cómico breve del siglo XVII: de los entremeses a los villancicos
E. Gutiérrez

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2015). Vol. 3, (2), 1

Abstract
La figura del portugués en el teatro cómico breve del siglo XVII, y su posterior paso a los villancicos, no ha sido aún estudiada a fondo ni sistematizada, salvo alusiones en estudios de conjunto, junto a otras figuras geográficas y étnicas. En este artículo se procede a un recorrido cronológico por la obra de un nutrido número de entremesistas de la época y del análisis de un corpus de 142 pliegos de villancicos (en su gran mayoría anónimos) para determinar la presencia del personaje, no solo cuantitativamente, sino desde el punto de vista de sus rasgos definitorios. En el entremés es una figura cuya presencia es secundaria pero constante y perfectamente tipificada: sus rasgos más típicos —ya presentes en las farsas del siglo XVI— son su carácter enamoradizo, su arrogancia y su condición de músico, que se ve reforzada en los villancicos, pues el portugués es protagonista en numerosas ocasiones de piezas monologadas, de mayor componente lírico. Sin embargo, en los villancicos de tipo dialógico mantienen los demás rasgos del personaje, incidiendo en la fanfarronería, en el enamoramiento fácil y en la rivalidad con Castilla, aunque se alude especialmente a la vanidad genealógica del portugués, rasgo apenas perceptible en los entremeses.

Abstract
In the manuscript of Yerros de Naturaleza y aciertos de la Fortuna preserved in the Biblioteca Nacional, the folios attributed to Antonio Coello are not autograph, as has always been assumed. This fact imposes the need to reinterpret the textual interventions made by whoever it was who copied these parts of the text, undoubtedly someone linked to a theatre company. There are clear signs that, without consulting the poets, the company introduced important changes in their text, even reordering segments of the third act.

Secrets in Calderón. Analyses of Some Secrecy Aspects in Calderón’s Comedies
S. Kroll

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2015). Vol. 3, (1), 1

Abstract
Spanish Golden Age Culture is an age of secrets and secrecy. Among its playwrights, Pedro Calderón de la Barca shows the most complex comprehension of this subject. During the entirety of his career he refers to it in numerous comedies, creates metaphors concerning different aspects of secrecy and employs it for the construction of his comedias de enredo/comedies of intrigue. In summary: Calderón has an ongoing interest in this anthropological phenomenon. The article analyses the motive of secrecy in selected plays, tragic and comic, starting with the San Secreto figure present in different plays, for example in La vida es sueño. After tracing the temporal aspect of secrecy the article ends with some thoughts about the relation between the public and the secret spheres.

«Cuidadoso descuido»: rogues, lying, and theater in the picaresque narrative
F. Mansilla

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2015). Vol. 3, (1), 1

Abstract
This article analyzes the use of the phrase «cuidadoso descuido» in seduction scenes of some picaresque narratives. The origin of this phrase is dual: «descuido» is the Spanish translation of sprezzatura, a key concept in Renaissance courtly manuals; and «cuidadoso descuido» is a concept that expresses the naturalness of a performance in theater. The picaresque narratives subvert that courtly and theatrical origin and employ «cuidadoso descuido» as a problematic euphemism to talk about a crime that includes lying and dissimulation.

Episodes in «Persiles and Sigismunda» shaped by ‘Byzantine tales’ from the «Gesta Romanorum»
C. Colahan

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2015). Vol. 3, (1), 1

Abstract
Only recently has there been a recognition of the literary influence in Spain of the ‘examples’ found in the Gesta Romanorum, a collection of tales widely spread and fertile in adaptations throughout Medieval and Renaissance northern Europe. Just as other Hispanic writers did who were contemporaries of Cervantes, he would have been able to read them without difficulty in the original Latin, which is highly simplified for the use of preachers. The plot and images of two of the gesta written in the style of a Byzantine novel shape corresponding episodes in the Persiles, which is well known for Cervantes’ statement that in it he sought to compete with the Byzantine novel set in Ethiopia by Heliodorus. A whale swallowing Auristela’s ship in one of the tales, like her rescue and subsequent forced choice between suitors, provide situations and phrases used by Cervantes to portray the intense love between Persiles and his sweetheart/pretended sister, Sigismunda, as was done also in other Hispanic adaptations of the legend.

Loving Economy and New Value of the Body and its Clothing in Two Miguel de Cervantes’ «Exemplary Novels»
C. Valle

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2015). Vol. 3, (1), 1

Abstract
This paper studies two Exemplary Novels written by Miguel de Cervantes, The English Spaniard and The Liberal Lover, focusing on the economic anxiety that existed at the time. The «abstraction» of money due to the emerging use of credit is part of a series of irreversible and significant changes that Europe experiences as a result of the gold extracted from the New World. This anxiety reveals itself, at the same time, a clear inestability in the economic and affective discourse of the period, expressed in the semantic moving that the narrative of the body and clothing expresses.

«Mujeres esquivas» and the Paternal Function
E. Cowling

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2015). Vol. 3, (1), 1

Abstract
Using the psychoanalytical concept of the paternal function, this article will explore the ways in which two similar plays, Lo que son mujeres by Francisco Rojas Zorilla and El desdén con el desdén by Agustín Moreto diverge in their endings, hinging on the function, or lack thereof, of the father figure.

Spanish Mystic Women of the Golden Century within the Ottoman Empire: Seven Arabic Manuscripts Found in Aleppo (Syria)
F. Sánchez

Revista Test Hipogrifo (2015). Vol. 3, (1), 1

Abstract
This work reports on the existence of seven manuscripts conserved in three different collections of Aleppo (Syria): the Greek-Catholic/Melkite, the Georges and Mathilde Salem Foundation and the Maronite libraries. These seven copies contain the Arabic translations of some mystical works written by two mystic women of the Spanish Golden Century, Teresa de Ávila and María de Ágreda. The history of these Arabic versions, translated right in the heart of the Ottoman Arabic provinces, constitutes an interesting object of study that is directly linked with the manner in which many European Western works passed to the Mediterranean Levant during the 16th and 17th centuries.

El pensamiento vestido de loco. Escritura e inspiración en la obra de Calderón
W. Aichinger

Revista Hipogrifo (2015). 1

Abstract
Cuando un personaje drámatico de Calderón se pone a escribir en el escenario, a menudo la razón queda desvinculada de lo que las pasiones dictan a la mano. El resultado por tanto es imprevisible, la escritura se convierte en «escritura automática». Calderón no manejó la terminología de la psicología moderna para conceptualizar las pulsiones inconscientes del ser humano. Sin embargo, da fe de un profundo conocimiento del alma que en el acto de escribir intenta liberarse de fuertes afectos e incluso puede revelar sus secretos. Confirman estas tesis los pasajes que tratan del deseo expresivo del artista. Asimismo, resultan de gran interés los dramas de visionarios y soñadores. En estas obras, se expresan tres ideas esenciales: la visión enfrenta al protagonista con un doble que lo horroriza. La visión organiza el tiempo de modo no linear. El paso por las visiones puede tener valor terapéutico. In Calderón’s plays, the act of writing is often viewed as a battle between reason and passion, the result left on the paper therefore being unforeseeable. Calderón’s ideas about the creative process, the transformation of nocturnal visions into works of art, the power of dreams and visions which confront the dreamer with his double, take him into another sphere of time and can heal him from evil powers are of astounding modernity and can be found in passages of all dramatic genres that he worked in.PALABRAS CLAVES / KEYWORDS: Calderón, escritura automática, alma,transmisión textual / Calderón, automatic writing, soul, textual transmission.

A minimum weight formulation with stress constraints in topology optimization of structures
J. París, S. Martínez, X. Nogueira, I. Colominas, F. Navarrina, M. Casteleiro

Revista Internacional de Métodos Numéricos para Cálculo y Diseño en Ingeniería (2015). Vol. 31, (1)

Abstract
Optimum design of structures has been traditionally focused on the analysis of shape and dimensions optimization problems. However, more recently a new discipline has emerged: the topology optimization of the structures. This discipline states innovative models that allow to obtain optimal solutions without a previous definition of the type of structure being considered. These formulations obtain the optimal topology and the optimal shape and size of the resulting elements. The most usual formulations of the topology optimization problem try to obtain the structure of maximum stiffness. These approaches maximize the stiffness for a given amount of material to be used. These formulations have been widely analyzed and applied in engineering but they present considerable drawbacks from a numerical and from a practical point of view. In this paper the author propose a different formulation, as an alternative to maximum stiffness approaches, that minimizes the weight and includes stress constraints. The advantages of this kind of formulations are crucial since the cost of the structure is minimized, which is the most frequent objective in engineering, and they guarantee the structural feasibility since stresses are constrained. In addition, this approach allows to avoid some of the drawbacks and numerical instabilities related to maximum stiffness approaches. Finally, some practical examples have been solved in order to verify the validity of the results obtained and the advantages of the proposed formulation.
