Abstract Insolación (1889) is Emilia Pardo Bazán’s version of the Don Juan myth, incarnated in the male protagonist Diego Pacheco. A signifier of masculine desire, Pacheco will become Pardo Bazán’s object of projections of men she loved, such as Benito Pérez Galdós, a womanizer, and José Quiroga, her husband from whom she was separated. He also represents a mother figure in the mind of Asís, the religious protagonist whose sexual repression makes her the typical bourgeoise of the so-called Victorian era that preceded the work of Sigmund Freud. The novel, intended to be a confession to a priest, instead turns into a confession to the readers, who thereby become psychoanalysts, modern confessors of souls, as well as recipients of stories. Doña Emilia’s love letters to Galdós, contemporaneous with the novel, contribute to its understanding: external and internal worlds, in Melanie Klein’s terms, interact creatively. The surprising ending (the marriage of Asís and Pacheco) gives rise to a confrontation between the narrator and Asís. Catholic marriage, which binds the spouses forever, is paradoxically seen as the most natural thing and, at the same time, as irrational, senseless. To the Lacanian demand for impossible love that Asís brings to bear must be added the desire of the desire of the Other, experienced by both Asís and Pacheco.

Abstract In this article, the author analyzes the representation of wandering during a road trip in Asfalto (2006), the novel by the Costa Rican writer Luis Chaves. Throughout the car journey of a couple in crisis, the narrative focuses on fragmentary everyday scenes that refer to a displacement marked by the lack of direction and apparent immobility. Like a road movie, the novel focuses on the experience of the journey over the destination and uses visual language and references to photography to add different temporal layers to the story. In tune with wandering, the use of digression as an anti-narrative strategy blurs and deflects the story toward the intimacy of the everyday, and suggests a latent content beyond the text. In this textual wandering, the novel represents the car trip both as an instance of appropriation and creation of an affective landscape, as well as a process of dissolution of identities.

Abstract In Mon ancêtre Poisson (2019), Christine Montalbetti looks through her family tree in order to find the oldest ancestor whom she can identify, one Jules Poisson (1833–1919), her great-great-grandfather. The book is quite unlike any other that she has written to this point, and it bears the traces of a variety of techniques. A great deal of documentary, archival research certainly went into it, but so did a lot of speculation. Hard fact and objective, even scientific data rub elbows with very personal considerations. Flatly declarative narration gives way to an impassioned intergenerational conversation, and vice versa. Montalbetti’s project is not merely biographical in character. It is a novel, after all, and if its main protagonist often occupies the center of the narrative stage, the book is not solely and uniquely about him. For if Montalbetti is manifestly concerned with understanding who her great-great-grandfather was in his life, she is also concerned with what that very understanding might mean in her own life. In other terms, this is a book about him, but it is also a book about her—and about the vexed notion of contact between one person and another, across a gap measuring several generations.

Abstract Antonio Di Benedetto wrote a novel titled El silenciero, and its topic, he says, is abandonment; the narrator, without a name, suffers from abandonment and wants to write a novel, the topic of which is abandonment, he says, and title it El techo, but he never begins writing. In El silenciero, thus, we are faced with two novels: one written and the other one not; one says and the other one does not. El silenciero, consequently, may be read and understood as a commentary on the limits of language and the role of silence when it comes to communicating ideas. Under this framework, this article proposes that the novel suggests when one attempts to explain and understand the world, even when departing from logic and tautologic relationships, little can be said without becoming nonsensical and, as Wittgenstein suggests, when it is not possible to say something meaningful, silence is what fills the gap.

Abstract Jaime Ferrán was a central, first, and last representative of the Catalan group of poets of the so-called “Generation of 1950,” the “Mid-Century,” or the “Generation of Friendship,” as he christened it. A group of poet-friends bound by profound and extensive interaction—personal as well as literary—connected him to Alfonso Costafreda, and, with him, to Carlos Barral, and later to José Agustín Goytisolo and Jaime Gil de Biedma, among others. Ferrán served as the principal paladin of the group in its beginning, both in a literary capacity (he presented the group in his Antología parcial) and on a personal level. He became the dedicated poetic chronicler of the group, in parallel to the prose chronicler, Carlos Barral. The literary coordinates on which the group is based are the cult of the word and the cult of friendship. The shared, uninterrupted, and recurrent verbal interaction among them became their “collective voice.” And the cult of friendship, which marked all their trajectories, leads Ferrán to re-create and poeticize the group’s history, which becomes one of the thematic axes of his oeuvre throughout his poetry, especially in his book Libro de Alfonso.
摘要Jaime Ferrán是加泰罗尼亚诗人群体的核心、第一位也是最后一位代表，他称之为“1950一代”、“世纪中期”或“友谊一代”，以及后来的JoséAgustín Goytisolo和Jaime Gil de Biedma等人。Ferrán一开始就担任该团体的主要圣骑士，无论是以文学身份（他在他的Antología parcial中介绍了该团体）还是以个人身份。他成为了该团体的专职诗歌编年史家，与散文编年史家卡洛斯·巴拉尔并驾齐驱。该团体所依据的文学坐标是对文字的崇拜和对友谊的崇拜。他们之间共享的、不间断的、反复出现的言语互动成为了他们的“集体声音”。对友谊的崇拜，标志着他们所有的轨迹，导致费兰重新创造和诗意化了这个群体的历史，这成为他整个诗歌作品的主题轴之一，尤其是在他的书《自由的阿方索》中。

Abstract Without a doubt, the figure of Catalan poet Jaime Ferrán has left an indelible mark on Syracuse University, where he was a professor for over 30 years. This article is a small tribute to his personal and professional contributions through the analysis of the recent work of two Spanish poets (Francisco Díaz de Castro and Aurora Luque) who, in the spirit of Ferrán’s legacy, recently visited and presented their work at Syracuse University and Le Moyne College.
毫无疑问，加泰罗尼亚诗人Jaime Ferrán的身影在雪城大学留下了不可磨灭的印记，他在雪城大学担任了30多年的教授。本文通过分析两位西班牙诗人(Francisco Díaz de Castro和Aurora Luque)最近的作品，对他个人和专业上的贡献表示敬意。本着Ferrán的遗产精神，这两位诗人最近访问了锡拉丘兹大学和勒莫恩学院，并展示了他们的作品。
