Authors: Idries Fahmy Akbar , Wulandari Novi Diah , Ruscitasari Zulfatun
Published: June 2023

The purpose of this study is to analyze the status of state-owned banks in Indonesia and find out which state-owned bank shares are suitable for investment by the younger generation. In addition, it aims to increase knowledge and information about investment and become one of the considerations for the younger generation in choosing a place to invest in state-owned banks. The research method used is descriptive-quantitative, using secondary data as the main material for statistical analysis. The results showed that all state-owned banks were in good condition, the lowest share price was Bank BTN, the highest share price was Bank Mandiri, and the highest profits were Bank Mandiri and Bank BNI. The bank that pays the highest dividend is Bank BRI. The younger generation who are risk averse, want to try investing, and have small capital, are suitable for investing in Bank BTN. If you dare and want big profits, it's better to invest in Bank Mandiri or Bank BNI. But if you want to focus and get big dividends, Bank BRI is the right choice. It cannot be denied that if you want to get big profits, you must be willing to take big risks (High-Risk High Return).

Keywords: Investments, stocks, dividends, banks, the millennial generation.

Hydrogenation of Nitrobenzene in Trickle Bed Reactor over Ni/Sio2 Catalyst
Authors: Abdulwahab Majid I.
Published: June 2023

Trickle bed reactor was used to study the hydrogenation of nitrobenzene over Ni/SiO2 catalyst. The catalyst was prepared using the Highly Dispersed Catalyst (HDC) technique. Porous silica particles (capped cylinders, 6x5.5 mm) were used as catalyst support. The catalyst was characterized by TPR, BET surface area and pore volume, X-ray diffraction, and Raman Spectra. The trickle bed reactor was packed with catalyst and diluted with fine glass beads in order to decrease the external effects such as mass transfer, heat transfer and wall effect. The catalyst bed dilution was found to double the liquid holdup, which increased the catalyst wetting and hence, the gas-liquid mass transfer rate. The main product of the hydrogenation reaction of nitrobenzene was aniline. Reaction operating conditions, i.e., temperature, liquid flow rate, and initial feed concentration were investigated to find their influences on the conversion and rate of nitrobenzene hydrogenation. Under normal conditions without bed dilution, the system was mass transfer controlled. In the diluted reactor, on the other hand, the resistance of mass transfer was nearly absent and the system became under surface kinetic control. The catalyst showed significant deactivation during the reaction period due to the adsorption of intermediate amine products on the surface of the catalyst. The kinetic study revealed that the reaction is zero order with respect to nitrobenzene concentration for the range of concentration between 0.58 to 1.17 mol/L while it was of positive order for the initial concentration less than 0.58 mol/L
Removal of Cu2+, Pb2+ , And Ni 2+ Ions From Simulated Waste Water By Ion Exchange Method On Zeolite And Purolite C105 Resin
Authors: Mohammed Ahmed Abed , Mahmood Haidar Shukur
Published: June 2023

The removal of heavy metal ions from wastewater by ion exchange resins ( zeolite and purolite C105), was investigated. The adsorption process, which is pH dependent, shows maximum removal of metal ions at pH 6 and 7 for zeolite and purolite C105 for initial metal ion concentrations of 50-250 mg/l, with resin dose of 0.25-3 g. The maximum ion exchange capacity was found to be 9.74, 9.23 and 9.71 mg/g for Cu2+, Pb2+, and Ni2+ on zeolite respectively, while on purolite C105 the maximum ion exchange capacity was found to be 9.64 ,8.73 and 9.39 for Cu2+, Pb2+, and Ni2+ respectively. The maximum removal was 97-98% for Cu2+ and Ni2+ and 92- 93% for Pb2+ on zeolite, while it was 93-94% for Cu2+, 96-97% for Ni2+, and 87-88% for Pb2+ on purolite C105. The obtained sorption affinity sequence was Cu 2+> Ni2+> Pb2+ in both resins. Langmuir isotherm expressions were found to give better fit to the experimental data compared to Freundlich and BET models. Kinetic data correlated well with Lagergren first order kinetic model, indicating the reversible reaction with an equilibrium being established between liquid and solid phase.
Anthropological and Archaeological Approaches to Mortuary Rituals – a Synthesis
Authors:   University of Bucharest, Crețu Ciprian
Published: June 2023

Anthropology and archaeology have a long tradition in shaping a discourse on the phenomenon of death. From the very beginning of the archeological discipline there is to be noticed a special interest regarding the funerary contexts – the funerary inventory, the body of the deceased and the treatment applied to it. This paper is an attempt to review a vast literature concerned with the significance of funerary rituals, from both disciplines – cultural anthropology and archaeology – while seeking to capture the emergence of some research paradigms that marked the history of archaeological thought from the beginning of the 20th century till today. In an attempt to determine what funerary archaeology means for the researcher of the 20th and 21th century, I bring into discussion the two major current of archaeological thought known as processual and post-processual paradigms. What information may be obtained from the analysis of mortuary rituals and what methodologies have been formulated within such research? Which were the purposes of funerary rituals? What is the relevance of funerary archaeology in shaping of a discourse about past societies? These are just some of the questions whose answers I am seeking for.

Abuse or Reuse? Attitude of „Private Owners” Towards Public Space in Late Antiquity
Authors: Tufaru Ilie Marian
Published: June 2023

The Late Antique roman-byzantine society is a constantly changing world. A new political and military background also calls for economic, social and cultural changes. In such an instable world the abuse was inevitable. The existing historical research focused mainly on the abuses of public authorities and even on imperial abuses. This paper is a research on the abuse of private owners against the public property. Using archaeological and historical evidences there had been identified two kinds of abuses: invasion of the public property and the use of spolia. This paper is divided in two parts, analysing those two kinds of abuses. The main primary sources which the author used in this paper were the laws combined in the Theodosian Code and also in the Iustinian Code which showed us the perspective of state regarding the abuse of private owners who affected the integrity of the public domain. Studying them we came to the conclusion that the state failed to stop those abuses and ended up by accepting these behaviours. This new kind of attitude of individuals toward urban landscape may show us a new perspective of how the „city” is understood. The consequence of this new behaviour is dramatic for the image of urban landscape in Late Antiquity.
Bureaucracy as a Necessary Evil: Representations of the Corrupt Bureaucrat in the Caricatures Published in the Romanian Press in the Late 1940s and 50s
Authors: Barbu Cristina
Published: June 2023

The Romanian communist regime used the press and the new centralized and controlled media system as the main propaganda tool, both to manipulate information, and to shape the beliefs, mentalities and behaviours. In this complex and mix of ideological instruments, an interesting place is occupied by the caricature. The drawing was used as an easier form to manipulate and which, through its artistic appearance, touch the emotional sphere, so it was considered as being more effective by having a stronger effect than the written texts. One of the subjects of the caricatures in the 50's, the bureaucrat, occupies a distinct place, being seen as a necessary evil, which must be controlled. Although it is placed next to the other enemies of the regime and considered corrupt, the bureaucrat is acknowledged as part of the administration and there is a constant struggle to control and to adapt it to the requirements of the regime, by constant criticism. The study is centred on a qualitative analysis of caricatures published in the late 1940s and during the 50s in the ”Urzica” magazine and in the newspapers (”România Liberă” and ”Informația Bucureștiului”) used for propaganda.
Marble in the Roman World (II BC - AD II)
Authors: Butiseacă Adriana-Geanina
Published: June 2023

Rocks and minerals always fascinated people who used them as jewelleries, make-up, construction material, to build roads, aqueducts, but above all-they used them to express themselves, to express art. My study is focused both on the economic and the artistic sides and for this paper I chose as a subject the marble due to the extraordinary attention that was given to it inside the Roman Empire during the antiquity. The romans started to excavate and use rocks first at local scale – from and within the Italian Peninsula. The appetite grew with the expansion of the roman dominance and it got more and more diverse while the empire was engulfing new territories. We are speaking here about every possible stone that you can imagine. Everything that could cost something was brought to Rome. It is the case of marble too which had a sort of VIP status due to her physical properties. The goal of this paper is to make the connection between geology, archaeology and art and present history through another perspective, through perspective of marble.

Authors: Hălălău Bianca , Sánchez-Lasheras Fernando , de Cos Juez Francisco Javier
Published: June 2023

Conservation of cultural heritage is directly influenced by domestic and international economic and political pressure. In the last decades, new categories of consumers have emerged on the antiquities markets that put pressure on the antiquities market, felt in the member countries of the European Union. In the present research, the Kruskal-Wallis test is used to determine the impact that illicit events in the field of cultural heritage and antiquities market has on the auction price. The accuracy of this approach is tested in a real background consisting of a database of 8893 objects or series of objects marketed between 1991 and 2015. The results of research show that the great scandals caused by criminal offenses or suspicious practices that we have described and we included in our prediction model shows that these cases have immediate effects in the market.

PLUNGING FROM THE 21ST CENTURY INTO ANCIENT GREECE. A STUDY ON HOW VISUAL THINKING CAN HELP HISTORICAL EDUCATION THROUGH THE GAME ASSASSIN’S CREED ODYSSEY
Authors: Chirilă Ana-Roxana
Published: June 2023

For recent generations, the accumulation of knowledge goes through different procedures from the classical ones, a considerable element being the replacement of traditional readings with other sources of information. But some disciplines require quite a lot of documentation and it is hard to remember all of the information and then be able to share it with others. This article is proposing a different approach to how history is taught to the younger generation, by underlining the importance of having fun while learning. Using the game Assassin’s Creed Odyssey as an example, I will explain why visual thinking is a more effective method through which history can become fun.

Authors:   University of Bucharest, Iliescu Iulia-Alexandra , Stănescu Radu-Octavian ,   ICEM Tulcea, Bottez Valentin-Victor ,   University of Bucharest
Published: June 2023

The Beidaud Archaeological Microzone, located west of the commune of Beidaud (Tulcea County), groups a series of archaeological sites dating from various periods: a Neolithic site, a fortified settlement dated from the First and Second Iron Age/Archaic period until the Late Roman period, a Roman rural settlement, and an Early Roman tumular necropolis. In this paper we will present the results of the surface survey carried out during the 2020 campaign, focusing on the area of the Roman settlement, where a significant quantity of archaeological materials, exclusively pottery, was discovered. After presenting the main ceramic categories, we will discuss these finds’ major importance in determining more clearly the settlement’s habitation period. Moreover, this material represents good evidence for a first picture of the everyday life of the inhabitants.
The Aberration of Gravity of a Black Hole
Authors: Peters Richard A
Published: June 2023

Gravitons are considered the hypothetical quanta or particles associated with thegravitational force, similar to how photons are the quanta of light and theelectromagnetic force. Just as electromagnetic interactions are mediated by theexchange of photons, the gravitational force would be mediated by the exchange ofgravitons. If gravitons are truly the particles that mediate the gravitational force, theirspeed of propagation is expected to be the speed of light in a vacuum. Consider anobject in orbit about a black hole (BH). As the object traverses its orbital path aroundthe BH, it moves with a signiﬁcant velocity. Since gravitons require time to travel fromthe BH to the object, the orbital motion of the object causes a shift in the apparentposition of the BH from the perspective of the object. The aberration of gravity from theBH manifests as this shift in the apparent position of the BH.The eccentric force of gravity that is the aberration of gravity adds to the velocity of anorbital object. In addition, the gradient in orbital velocity with distance from the BH isenhanced by the aberration of gravity. If the BH supports an accretion disk theaberration of gravity enhances the shear forces that heat the accretion disk.
JAKARTA’S CITY BRANDING AS PARA-DIPLOMACY: BEYOND GREENING STADIUM AND RACE
Authors: Luerdi Luerdi
Published: June 2023

Mega-structures and mega-sports events have been attractions in many mega-cities representing their identity to the rest of the world. Such phenomenon has also taken place in Jakarta by the existence of the Jakarta International Stadium and the Formula E and both have gained attention and stimulated conversations in Indonesia. So have both been known as a green stadium and a green race. Integrating sustainability to urban development has been a global trend and Jakarta attempts to take advantage of such trend to create branding. This research aimed to describe the rationale of greening the stadium and race by the Jakarta regional government within its city branding policy under the leadership of Governor Anies Rasyid Baswedan. This research employed the qualitative method and descriptive analysis in addition to the concept of para-diplomacy and city branding. This research found that both green stadium and race were utilized as symbols or promotional value to promote green development in the city. City branding by the Jakarta regional government was a diplomatic practice bringing a message about the city transformation to be a green and global city. This paper provides a perspective that city branding is para-diplomacy itself or one of para-diplomacy practices. This paper argues that through city branding, cities should be able to not only widen their specific needs locally but also pave their global role in addressing the global challenges like climate crisis.

Published: June 2023

The Altered Xperience Project (AXP) is an ongoing research project that takes the form of an open citizen science initiative. Its main goal is to systematically collect and consolidate data on the subjective experiences induced by various consciousness-manipulating techniques (CMTs). These include both psychoactive substances as well as non-pharmacological manoeuvres that induce altered states of consciousness (ASCs); also known as ASC induction methods. AXP aims to build a publicly open repository of psychometric questionnaire data, accompanied by structured open reports. By providing systematically structured and machine-readable data that can be easily accessed by researchers, AXP will complement existing initiatives in this field.This article introduces a proof-of-principle dataset (dataset v1.0) that includes data collected until 05-2022, while the vast majority of the data was collected in the period 03-10-2022 to 13-10-2022. The dataset includes categorised data on low, medium and high doses of alcohol, cannabis, NMDA, and psilocybin. Participation was incentivised by an engaging infographic comparing one's own data with that of other participants. The pilot version of the AXP app was available in English and Spanish, and participants were recruited internationally, mainly through a social media campaign by El gato y la Caja, a citizen science group. The data is made available through the Open Science Framework (OSF): https://osf.io/c3zq5/
Examining missingness at the momentary level in clinical research using ecological momentary assessment: Implications for suicide research
Authors: Jacobucci Ross , Ammerman Brooke A. , McClure Kenneth
Published: June 2023

The use of intensive time sampling methods, such as ecological momentary assessment (EMA), has increased in clinical research during the past decade. While EMA can capture intraindividual processes, repeated assessments increase participant burden, potentially resulting in low compliance. The aim of this study was to shed light on study-level and psychological variables that may predict momentary prompt (i.e., prompt-to-prompt) completion. We combined data from three EMA studies examining mental health difficulties (N = 103; 10,656 prompts; 7,144 completed), using multilevel models and machine learning to determine how well we can predict prompt-to-prompt completion, and which variables are most important. The two most important variables in prompt-to-prompt completion were hours since last prompt and time in study. Psychological variables added little predictive validity. Our study demonstrated how study-level characteristics can be used to explain prompt-to-prompt compliance rates in EMA research, highlighting the potential for developing adaptive assessment schedules to improve compliance.
Framing HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis use as a public or private matter
Authors: Martinez Joel Eduardo , Jonas Kai
Published: June 2023

PrEP campaigns often promote a ‘private’ frame emphasizing personal HIV risk management. We explore how a ‘public’ frame emphasizing community-managed sexual health is relevant among men who have sex with men (MSM) and can advance HIV prevention. We sampled MSM from The United States (N=311 in 2015) and The Netherlands (N=222 in 2020) soon after each country’s official PrEP introduction to study early adoption of PrEP frames. Using regressions and machine learning, we quantified support for different PrEP frames, person-level correlates, and relationships to personal PrEP disclosure—an avenue for community-based prevention. Respondents were generally neutral about PrEP framing (US:44%, Netherlands:48%), yet many held private (US:23%, Netherlands:28%) and public (US:33%, Netherlands:24%) frames. Public and neutral frames were associated with PrEP users and disclosure comfort, non-users held diverse frames. PrEP messaging and uptake could improve by understanding how and when MSM frame their PrEP use as a public or private matter.
Anxiety symptomatology and subjective-cardiac responding to a suspenseful movie clip
Authors: Kirk Peter Alexander , Foret-Bruno Paul , Lowther Millie , Garfinkel Sarah , Skipper Jeremy I , Robinson Oliver Joe
Published: June 2023

There are known associations between the presence of experimentally-presented threats and peripheral physiological responses, such as a heart rate, which holds implications for understanding pathological levels of anxiety. Moving away from traditional task-based paradigms, we investigated whether subjective experience (i.e., continuous state anxiety ratings) and heart rate were associated with individual variations (n=133) in trait anxiety symptomatology (items on the hospital anxiety and depression scale) during an anxiogenic movie clip. In other words, do different trait anxiety-related processes manifest in altered anxiety states vs heart rate during movies? Using intersubject representational similarity analysis, we report a significant association between pairwise similarities in trait anxiety symptom profiles and state anxiety dynamics during suspenseful movie-watching. On the other hand, we failed to detect associations between trait anxiety symptoms and heart rate. We encourage future work to investigate the association between anxiety symptoms and heart rate in more anxiogenic movie stimuli, as well as incorporating multiple physiological recordings.

Published: June 2023

BACKGROUND: Fine motor skills are heritable, comprise important milestones in development, and impairments are associated with neurodevelopmental conditions, psychiatric disorders, and poor educational outcomes.METHODS: In a pre-registered study of 9726 pre-school children from the Twins Early Development Study, fine motor assessments (drawing, block building, folding, and parental questionnaires) were conducted at 2-, 3-, or 4-years, as part of a cognitive-task battery. A cross-age fine motor score was derived using principal component analysis. Multivariate regression was conducted between the fine motor score and neurodevelopmental traits, psychopathology, and educational outcomes at three later ages (7/8-, 12-, 16-years), and a cross-age phenotypic p factor score. Polygenic scores (PGS) were created for ADHD, autism, schizophrenia, anxiety, major-depressive disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and years in education. Single-, and multi-PGS models were run.RESULTS: Fine motor skills were negatively associated with neurodevelopmental traits and psychopathology across childhood and adolescence, and positively associated with educational achievement in adolescence (R2 = 0.001-0.059). Poorer fine motor skills associated with lower PGS for years in education (ß=0.07, p < 0.001., R2 =0.005) and higher ADHD PGS (ß= -0.04, p < 0.05., R2 =0.001) and a negative association with ADHD PGS (ß= -0.04, p < 0.05., R2 =0.001). The multiPGS model retained the PGSs for years in education (ß=0.06), ADHD (ß =-0.03), and anxiety (ß=- 0.02, model R2 =0.005). Although not pre-registered, analyses in an independent preschool sample replicated the association between the ADHD PGS and fine motor skills.CONCLUSIONS: Fine motor skills are linked to later neurodevelopment, psychopathology, and educational outcomes. These associations may be partly due to shared common genetic pathways.
Menopausal rage, erotic power and gaga feminist possibilities
Authors: De Graeve Katrien , De Vuyst Sara
Published: June 2023

This study focusses on discourses on menopause through a critical reading of a selection of nine self-help books on the topic in the context of Dutch-speaking Belgium and the Netherlands. The aim is to explore whether self-help books constrain or facilitate the development of emancipatory discourses on menopause. We combine feminist critiques that identify the experience of menopause as a site of potential for revolt with insights from queer and critical new-materialist theorisation to probe the books’ emancipatory capacity. Our analysis identifies three prominent discursive repertoires: a medical, psycho-therapeutic and spiritual repertoire. Anger and erotic power emerge as important themes, albeit differently framed dependent on the discursive repertoires that the books employ. We conclude that none of the books succeed in disrupting prevailing oppressive discourses that devalue ageing women. There are two important constraints, notably (1) the books’ individualistic and depoliticised stance and (2) their reductionist view on the biological body. As a way out, we propose a gaga feminist reading of menopause that looks at anger and erotic power as sites of ‘biopossibilities’ that may open space for overthrowing oppressive models of gender, sexuality and desire.

An assessment of aggregate quality from crusher plant as construction material used in Kaski district of Nepal
Authors: Banstola Ramesh , GC Santosh
Published: June 2023

Quality refers to the minimum acceptable physical dimensional characteristics as specified in the form of a specification. Quality improvements are essential for any crusher plant or entrepreneur to stay in operation in a competitive business. Aggregates have a significant relation with the strength of the various grades of concrete to optimize the quality and obtain the specific result on the strength of concrete. The aggregate properties play significant role to enhance quality of concrete and its durability. Among various properties of the aggregate, only physical and mechanical properties of coarse and fine aggregates were tested and evaluated. Results showed that coarse and fine aggregates of the crusher plants A, B, and C lie within the specifications defined by standard specifications for road and bridge works - 2073 (with second amendment 2078) of Department of Roads (DoR), Nepal, and the plants of D, E, F, G, H, I, and J does not comply with the standard. The physical and mechanical properties of aggregates complying with the standard help gain strength, durability, and other properties of concrete in concrete mix design.
Grid parameters analysis of 11 kV radial feeder on residential areas based on forecasted emerging load: A case study of Tarkeshwor Municipality, Nepal
Authors: Pokhrel Bidhan , Bhattarai Nawraj , Poudyal Ramhari , Gautam Rupesh , Paudyal Khem N.
Published: June 2023

The study focuses on the technical performance analysis of a radial distribution network in a rapidly urbanising area under the current, future, and optimised scenarios. The control area in this research is Tarkeshwor Municipality, Nepal, which lies in the outer stretch of Kathmandu, representing the urbanising loads. In this paper, the electric cooking load has been added to the long term forecasted load up to ten years from now, representing emerging technology and load that adds to the peak load in the daily load curve of the control area. The placement of reactive power suppliers (i.e. Capacitor placement) in optimal network buses is also proposed as an optimisation tool that exhibits improved power quality and reliability with the forecasted load. The peak load is found to be increased to 21.93 MVA at the tenth year's end including targeted emerging load due to which the voltage profile also goes out of the limits. Optimal placement of capacitor on optimal buses results in improved voltage profile and also reduces active power loss of the distribution network in the control area. The analysis and discussion in this research will be helpful to the policymakers as well as the electric utility for planning the supply and utilisation pattern of electricity in the future.
Analyzing the roughness of the discontinuous surface in Mt. Semeru Eruption rock
Authors: Pradani Diana Irmawati , Sutoyo Heru Dwiriawan , Suhardono Agus
Published: June 2023

From the moment they were formed to the deposition process, the characteristics and properties of rocks that form on the earth's surface vary. The effects of Mount Semeru's eruption will be transported and deposited, eventually solidifying into rock masses. As a result of weak places like joints, fractures, and fissures, where the density, filling, and orientation are not continuous, rock masses in nature have discontinuous or discontinuous qualities. Rock shear strength will be decreased if there are discontinuous planes in the rock bulk. Using Barton's empirical equation and the Joint Roughness Coefficient (JRC) parameter, roughness conditions in discontinuous planes can be measured. Determining the features of the rock mass that are influenced by the shear strength of discontinuous planes in the Mount Semeru eruption rock based on variations in shear roughness in accordance with Barton and Choubey's criterion is therefore crucial. The observation of discontinuous plane roughness conditions in rocks as a result of Mount Semeru's eruption is necessary to get many rock shear strength parameters, which are then used to determine the friction angles, undulation values, and cohesion values in the surface of the discontinuous plane.
Early to Middle Miocene Dissectec Arc of Karangsambung Area: A Case Study of Waturanda and Penosogan Formations Provenance
Authors: Safira Faradhea , Purwasatriya Eko Bayu , Gibran Akhmad Khahlil
Published: June 2023

This study undertakes a comprehensive analysis of the geological conditions within a specific region, with a dual objective. Firstly, it aims to detail the geophysical attributes, structural aspects, and formation processes of the region. Secondly, it strives to establish a connection between the provenance, or origin, of the sedimentary materials in the region and its geological characteristics. The primary subjects of the research are the Waturanda and Penosogan Formations. These formations were selected due to their unique geological properties that offer insights into the geological history of the region. The primary method employed in the study was petrographic analysis. This technique, involving a microscopic examination of rocks, facilitated a detailed investigation into the rock samples from both formations, highlighting their mineralogical constitution and overall textures. The study also involved a thorough examination of the original rock or parent material of the Waturanda and Penosogan Formations. This analysis provided important information about their inherent geological attributes and formation processes. One of the key findings was the identification of the tectonic environment in which these formations were developed. The study revealed that the tectonic setting was a magmatic arc, specifically a dissected arc. This significant insight into the geological conditions has profound implications for understanding the geological evolution and history of the region, thereby enriching our knowledge of Earth's dynamic geological processes.

Ambiguity in El viejo celoso
Authors: Wardropper Bruce W.
Published: June 2023

En los entremeses Cervantes pone en duda las ideas recibidas sin sustituirlas. Consigue este efecto mediante ambigüedades verbales que con el ritmo rápido de la farsa pueden pasar inadvertidas. Si se tiene presente esta técnica, una lectura cuidadosa de El viejo celoso revela que hacia el fin de la obra el marido se da cuenta de que le ha puesto los cuernos su joven esposa. Al solidarse contra la intrusión de la sociedad, los dos casados reconocen la necesidad de la hipocresía, el valor social preeminente. Así se pervierte el final clásico de la comedia: reintegración de los errantes con la sociedad, pero no vivirán felices. Lo mismo que otros entremeses cervantinos, El viejo celoso plantea la cuestión de la indisolubilidad del matrimonio cristiano.
“Old and New Mimesis in Cervantes”
Authors: Henry Patrick
Published: June 2023

Como René Girard ha visto en el Quijote, Cervantes demuestra muchos ejemplos del proceder mimético. La novela en totalidad describe lo contagioso que es este mal que lleva a los actores a transformarse repetidamente en los papeles que juegan, y que hace que el deseo instintivo se ceda al impulso mimético. Como don Quijote mismo exclama: “Sobre el cimiento de la necedad no asienta ningún discreto edificio.” El propósito de Cervantes en el Persiles es mostrarnos la base sobre la cual se puede construir este edificio discreto. Su protagonista masculino practica un nuevo mimesis, la imitatio Dei, y espiritualiza el universo natural ejerciendo la ética del Sermón del Monte. El perdón triunfa sobre la venganza, la bondad sobre el desdén, y la gracia se sobrepone a la justicia. Persiles y Sigismunda viajan por el tiempo y el espacio entre trabajos, trastornos y penas hacia el matrimonio cristiano (un nuevo doblamiento) y por esta experiencia logran una vida llena de felicidad y plenitud.
The ‘Knight of the Broken Lance’ and his ‘Trusty Steed’: On Don Quixote and Rocinante
Authors: Cull John T.
Published: June 2023

La intención explícita de Don Quijote, intención generalmente descartada por la crítica moderna, es la de parodiar los libros de caballería. Como parte de dicha parodia, Cervantes crea un protagonista cómico cuyas fuerzas pueden menos que sus deseos: un ser literal y figuradamente impotente. Este estudio explora algunos de los símbolos repetidos de la impotencia humorística del protagonista, entre ellos el brazo inhábil y la lanza rota. Al mismo tiempo, se analiza la relación cómica entre amo sexualmente incapaz y caballo rijoso. El interés en lo erótico constituye otro rasgo del ideal caballeresco que el protagonista cervantino no logra imitar, y por tanto, es otro aspecto de la novela destinado a provocar la risa a carcajadas en el lector.
Cervantes and the Novelization of Drama: Tradition and Innovation in the Entremeses
Authors: Reed Cory A.
Published: June 2023

Este estudio examina, desde una perspectiva teórica, los entremeses de Cervantes a partir de los elementos novelísticos que les dan su carácter original y único. Debido a la fuerte presencia en estas obras de una profundidad temática, la interiorización de personajes, la sátira, y el comentario social, los entremeses cervantinos pertenecen a lo que Mijail Bajtin ha llamado “drama novelizado,” y rechazan las convenciones teatrales del teatro menor de la época. Uno de los rasgos principales de tal novelización es la irresolución temática y estructural que demanda la colaboración del espectador o lector para resolver un tema principal o una acción abierta. Por lo tanto, la irresolución novelística se puede entender como una de las causas principales del fracaso de estos entremeses como obras teatrales y su éxito como textos literarios.
Diálogo de voces en el prólogo de la Segunda Parte del Quijote
Authors: Strother Darci L.
Published: June 2023

Using the ideas of Mikhail Bakhtin in his The Dialogic Imagination as a point of departure, this study explores the Prologue of the second book of Don Quixote, focusing on the diversity of voices present therein. Despite the absence of external dialogue in this prologue, the dialogic relation between the Reader, the Author, and Avellaneda, all developed as independent characters, is examined. Finally, we analyze how the interaction between the voices of these characters forms the nucleus of this Prologue, and suggest other types of discourse which also find their way into these prefatory pages.
Cervantes on Human Absurdity: The Unifying Theme of La casa de los celos y selvas de Ardenia
Authors: Lewis-Smith Paul
Published: June 2023

En las comedias de Cervantes se manifiesta un gusto marcado por una estructura diversificada en la que se tiende a descartar la clásica; “unidad de argumento.” La unidad estructural de las comedias cervantinas depende en un grado excepcional de la integración temática. Esta, sin embargo, puede ser oscura. Bien lo demuestra La casa de los celos y selvas de Ardenia. En este artículo se vuelve a examinar la obra con el fin de revelar su tema y de iluminar las tendencias que hacen que la coherencia de las comedias de Cervantes sea a veces difícil de captar. La casa de los celos se interpreta como una exploración calidoscópica de la capacidad del hombre de actuar y pensar absurdamente.
Contexto histórico y tratamiento literario de la “hechicería” morisca y judía en el Persiles
Authors: Díez Fernández José-Ignacio , Cárcer Luisa-Fernanda Aguirre de
Published: June 2023

The medical activities of the Moriscos during the Golden Age occupied a shadowy middle ground between their own cultural heritage and the demands of the Christian society in which they lived. That society defended itself against their competition (in a process of increasing corporativism) by legal measures which sought to ban them from officially practicing medicine. For that purpose such distortions as accusations of magic, and hence, of heresy, were used against them. In his Persiles Cervantes distinguishes between sorcery and magic, and develops his ideas, above all, in two case histories: one featuring Moriscos (Cenotia), the other, Jews (the wife of Zabulón). The methods in the two cases differ, although both involve love stories. Cervantes’ treatment of the subject is anecdotal, hackneyed, and almost incoherent.
La mujer vestida de hombre en el teatro de Cervantes
Authors: Inamoto Kenji
Published: June 2023

Women dressed as men first appeared in the Madrid corrales in 1587. Because of its obvious erotic appeal, the practice was banned in the theater regulations promulgated in 1608 and 1615, but playwrights and actors found ways to get around the prohibitions. Cervantes made very little use of the technique, and this can be interpreted as a criticism of Lope de Vega and other contemporary playwrights.
Los prólogos del Quijote: la consagración de un género
Authors: Martín Francisco J.
Published: June 2023

In this article we study the prologues to Don Quijote and examine how, while introducing what is considered the first ‘modern novel,’ Cervantes prefaces the First and Second Parts of his masterpiece with two genuine mini-novels, assuring the birth of yet another literary genre: the ‘novelistic prologue.’ New light is shed on the ontological question of the mysterious “friend” who appears in the Prólogo I, as well as on the significance of, and real drive behind, the seemingly fierce attack on Avellaneda in the Prólogo II.
Dorotea, or The Narrators’ Arts
Authors: Hathaway Robert L.
Published: June 2023

Al ser descubierta en la Sierra Morena, siente Dorotea la necesidad de explicar las razones de haberse huido al despoblado, pues su situación —solitaria y disfrazada de mozo— naturalmente ha de provocar sospechas. Sus oyentes son Cardenio, Maese Nicolás, y el cura Pero Pérez; éste es el que por su oficio parece prometerle compasión y auxilio si no exculpación. Para asegurarse de este apoyo, Dorotea insiste en su propia victimización, pintándose más inocente que no lo era en su trato con don Fernando, pero a pesar de su retórica, deja entrever su verdadera personalidad y su voluntad de elevarse a un nivel social que mejor corresponda a su belleza y aptitudes.
“Cipión” Writes to “Berganza” in the Freudian Academia Española
Authors: Riley E. C.
Published: June 2023

Se investiga la relación con Cervantes en unas cartas de Sigmund Freud, publicadas hace poco por primera vez. El joven Freud las escribió a su íntimo amigo Eduard Silberstein entre 1871 y 1881. Muchas de las comunicaciones están escritas en castellano, firmadas “Cipión” y dirigidas a “Berganza.” Se descubre el deseo apremiante de Freud de entablar una correspondencia recíproca y sistemática que diera un informe íntimo y detallado de la vida cotidiana de cada uno. Estas cartas demuestran ciertas afinidades con el Coloquio de los perros por un lado, y, por otro, con el método del psicoanálisis, todavía por descubrir, como distintas formas de biografía dialogada.
Lunar Pigs Trash Crazed Green Cultists (DQ 2: chs. 58-68)
Authors: Colahan Clark
Published: June 2023

El deshacerse de don Quijote, a partir de la Falsa Arcadia de la Segunda Parte, lleva consigo dos atropellamientos, aparentemente sin trascendencia, primero por toros y luego por cerdos, colocados simétricamente a la misma distancia narrativa anterior y posterior a la derrota a manos del Caballero de la Blanca Luna. Estos dos encuentros con el mundo bestial, sin embargo, son castigos por su entrega a fantasías “verdes,” eróticas, grandiosas, y esencialmente masculinas, tales como suelen aparecer en la literatura caballeresca/pastoril. La Blanca Luna es probablemente una alusión a Diana, quien castiga parecidamente a Acteón por no respetar la autonomía femenina.
La destrucción del personaje en la obra cervantina: Andanzas y desventura del malogrado mozo de campo y plaza
Authors: Martín José Ramón Fernández de Cano y
Published: June 2023

The lad for the field and marketplace, a servant in the household of Alonso Quijano, appears in the novel's first paragraph but immediately disappears without a trace. However, one need only pay careful attention to the hidden erotic dimension of the vocabulary used in his presentation to realize that his fun-filled escapades —though never explicit— contribute to sharpening the characterization of the housekeeper, the niece, and above all, Don Quixote.
