This study addresses chivalric writing and court culture during the reign of Juan II of Castile and aims to examine the changing chivalric ideal in Castile during this turbulent period of Castilian history. My thesis argues that political crisis in Castile led to a corresponding crisis in Castilian chivalry as commentators at the royal court tried to correct the failings of the Castilian nobility. The study is based around the work of Alonso de Cartagena, an esteemed diplomat, translator and the Bishop of Burgos in the latter years of Juan II’s reign. Like many of his contemporaries, Cartagena lamented Castile’s descent into civil war and felt compelled to take up his pen in response to the drawn swords of the Castilian nobility. His Doctrinal de los caualleros, produced in 1444 at the height of the civil war, was a highly critical look at chivalry and nobility in the Kingdom of Castile. Cartagena’s view of the chivalric ideal was one which was fundamentally shaped by the civil war. This study seeks to set his ideas in their broader context and argues that they should be seen as part of a wider Castilian debate on chivalry and nobility. This debate involved a number of Cartagena’s contemporaries including, Diego de Valera, Juan Rodríguez del Padrón, Rodrigo Sánchez de Arévalo and the Marquis of Santillana Íñigo López de Mendoza. Cartagena, along with a number of these authors, challenged traditional views on chivalry and nobility and instead argued for a view of knighthood grounded in individual good conduct and personal worth, in place of lineage and inherited status. This study argues that the civil war in Castile paved the way for the development of a rich literature of chivalric reform and facilitated the development of the sort of knightly criticism seen elsewhere in Europe in the later Middle Ages. However, rather than simply being a theoretical discussion, the civil war and unique social pressures on the Iberian Peninsula made the debate highly relevant. Chivalry became a vehicle for political criticism and reform. For Cartagena and his contemporaries, chivalric writing offered a means of ending the civil war by addressing what they saw as endemic issues with the rebellious Castilian nobility. My work has thus argued for a view of chivalry as a changing and developing body of thought shaped by the intellectual and political context in which it developed. Chivalry was, in essence, a code of military ethics governing conduct on and off the battlefield. However, whilst its basic tenants of virtue, honour, prowess at arms and piety were broadly similar across Europe, how they were understood differed greatly. Rather than seeking an all-encompassing definition, I have argued that the focus should fall on the differences and complexities within chivalric thought.

Para isso utilizamos as categorias da dialética elaboradas por Georg Lukács. Rivera criou toda uma iconografia dentro do muralismo mexicano para expressar o passado, o presente e o que haveria de ser o futuro para o México. De forma original sintetizou a situação particular do México, dentro dos fundamentos no conceito marxista de luta de classes. Realizamos uma pesquisa bibliográfica e fizemos análise de imagens das obras de Diego Rivera. Compreende-se com esse estudo que tanto o reflexo estético quanto o reflexo científico são formas de análise e compreensão da realidade objetiva. Por fim, entendemos que os murais de Rivera tratam-se de uma grande obra, dentro do conceito lukasciano, ou seja, ela possibilita aos homens a elevação da sua condição em-si, cotidiana, a uma relação para-si, genérica. / This work aims to analyze the particularity of aesthetic reflection of Diego Rivera murals. For that we use the categories of dialetics developed by Georg Lukács. Rivera created a whole iconography within the Mexican mural painting to express the past, the present and what would be the future for Mexico. In a original way Rivera synthesized the particular situation of Mexico, within the grounds in the Marxist concept of class struggle. We performed a literature search and we analysis pictures of Diego Rivera's works. It is understood with this study that both the aesthetic reflection as scientific reflection are forms of analysis and understanding of objective reality. Finally, we understand that the Rivera murals deal is a high art within the Lukascian concept, that is, it enables men to increase their condition in-itself, everyday life, to a relationship for-itself, generic.

La presente investigación tiene por objetivo diagramar una cartografía discursiva para «mapear-localizar» el sistema cultural de la década de los ochenta en Chile, desarrollar un análisis retórico sobre las principales estrategias de composición en el poema La Tirana (1983) de Diego Maquieira y proponer una lectura alegórica sobre la identidad nacional en El Gallinero, la segunda sección de la obra.

Informe de Seminario para optar al grado de Licenciado en Lengua y Literatura Hispánica. / Si se plantea, arbitrariamente, que la poesía en/de la modernidad (desde Baudelaire en adelante) es una poesía en crisis, entonces también se podrá plantear que esta crisis se agudiza más en ciertos momentos de la historia. Una de esas instancias puede ser perfectamente una dictadura política en un país tercermundista. Pero ¿cuál puede ser uno o los resultados de esa agudización de la crisis? La poesía como una escritura vigilada, el silencio en la producción, publicaciones autoeditadas, el silencio en la recepción (un circuito silencioso; una crítica insuficiente), una escritura desviada, etc. Todos estos fenómenos (y otros que se verán más adelante) se encuentran simultáneamente en un período de la historia de Chile, que para efectos de contextualización de este trabajo, situaremos en el decenio que va entre 1973 y 1983.
