UNCERTAINTY VISUALIZATION APPROACHES FOR 3D MODELS OF CASTLES RESTITUTED FROM ARCHEOLOGICAL KNOWLEDGE
Authors: Landes T. , Heissler M. , Koehl M. , Benazzi T. , Nivola T.
Published: January 2019

Abstract. In the cultural heritage field, several specialists like archaeologists, architects, geomaticians, historians, etc. are used to work together. With the upcoming technologies allowing to capture efficiently data in the field, to digitize historical documents, to collect worldwide information related to the monuments under study, the wish to summarize all the sources of data (including the knowledge of the specialists) into one 3D model is a big challenge. In order to guarantee the reliability of the proposed reconstructed 3D model, it is of crucial importance to integrate the level of uncertainty assigned to it. From a geometric point of view, uncertainty is often defined, quantified and expressed with the help of statistical measures. However, for objects reconstructed based on archaeological assumptions, statistical measures are not appropriate. This paper focuses on the decomposition of 3D models into levels of uncertainties (LoUs) and on the best way to visualize them through two case studies: the castle of Kagenfels and the Horbourg-Wihr Castellum, both located in Alsace, France. The first one is well documented through still ongoing excavations around its remains, whereas the second one disappeared under the urbanization of the city. An approach enabling, on the 3D models, not only to quantify but also to visualize uncertainties coming from archaeological assumptions is addressed. Finally, the efficiency of the approach for qualifying the proposed 3D model of the reconstructed castle regarding its reliability is demonstrated.

Published: January 2019

Abstract. This study presents an integrated approach for reading coastal sites. A process aimed at protecting and enhancing these sites must be developed alongside a targeted interdisciplinary strategy, closely linked to the fields of archaeology, survey, landscape reading, morphology of the territory and geology. These must no longer be managed as individual cognitive elements, but within a single comprehensive analytical interpretation model.The experiment activity carried out along the rocky area of Aci Castello, on the eastern coast of Sicily, was developed using a methodological approach based on the integration of 3D data coming from various survey technologies – 3D laser scanning, mobile mapping and echo sounder systems. The aim of the experiment was to create a complete three-dimensional model of the studied area, focused on obtaining a dynamic understanding, that is punctual and comprehensive, of the site’s value and fragility.
AUTOMATING THE VERIFICATION OF HERITAGE BUILDING INFORMATION MODELS CREATED FROM POINT CLOUD DATA
Authors: Macher H. , Chow L. , Fai S.
Published: January 2019

Abstract. The use of remote sensors to acquire metric information for building information modelling (BIM) of heritage buildings is now common. Problematically, the creation of models from that information is still largely a manual and non-quantifiable process. As a result, a key aspect of the scan-to-BIM process is verification of the accuracy of the model in relation to the metric information. The most common method to check a model element constructed from a point cloud seems to be the analysis of deviations between this element and the corresponding point cloud (Anil et al., 2013; Tang et al., 2011). It is comprised of three main steps: the computation, the visualisation and the analysis of deviations. The verification process is particularly onerous for large-scale buildings where it is necessary to ensure that all elements of a model are consistent with metric data that may come from diverse sources (Chow and Fai, 2017). In this paper, we discuss the development of a plug-in for Autodesk Revit that automates this verification process.
HBIM AND THE 20TH CENTURY STEEL BUILDING HERITAGE – A PROCEDURE SUITABLE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION HISTORY IN ITALY
Authors: Morganti R. , Tosone A. , Di Donato D. , Abita M.
Published: January 2019

Abstract. The use of steel technologies in Italian architecture still represents an unexplored field of research, characterised by limited and fragmented episodes that reveal important design experimentations and relevant architectural results of the 20th century. For this reason, the aim of the research consists of defining a HBIM methodological approach addressed to the study of modern steel architectures, considering their specific features and their hybrid constructive nature. Indeed these buildings are often characterized by a high level of industrial production of building components merged with the recovery of a craftsmanship tradition, particularly appearing at the scale of structure and envelope details. The balance between standardization and traditional techniques in production processes, leads to the definition of a HBIM method composed of three steps: an operational tools for existing buildings of 20th century made of steel that could support the construction of building digital archives, the organisation of maintenance programs and possible transformative actions, avoiding the loss of this heritage sometimes caused by bad interventions that deeply change original and valuable features of these architectures.
INTEGRATION AND COMPARISON OF CLOSE-RANGE SFM METHODOLOGIES FOR THE ANALYSIS AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE HISTORICAL CITY CENTER OF BETHLEHEM
Authors: Parrinello S. , Picchio F.
Published: January 2019

Abstract. The present paper illustrates a part of the methodological process of image-based acquisition developed for the documentation of the historical city center of Bethlehem, in the Middle East territory. The first mission of research activities, developed inside the international cooperation project “Management and control of urban growth for the development of heritage and improvement of life in the city of Bethlehem” (2018–2021), coordinated by University of Pavia in collaboration with the Municipality of Pavia and financed with the contribution of AICS (Italian Agency for Cooperation and Development), has been carried on through combined application of digital instruments, TLS and UAV, with the aim of developing “smart”, low-cost and rapid execution procedures for the production of a reliable three-dimensional model of the historic city center. The paper shows the application of different photogrammetric survey campaigns in a portion of the historical town, acquisition problems and tests of morphometrical reliability of each output, in order to develop a general SfM database consisting of different definition levels of the photogrammetric models of historical city center.
GENERATION OF GIGAPIXEL ORTHOPHOTO FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF
COMPLEX BUILDINGS. CHALLENGES AND LESSON LEARNT
Authors: Perfetti L. , Fassi F. , Gulsan H.
Published: January 2019

Abstract. This study is part of the “Milan Cathedral Survey project”. It is a three years long research project with the aim of surveying the entire cathedral in 3D with different techniques (mainly photogrammetry and laser scanning). The goal is to renew the architectonic drawings (sections elevations and plans) to obtain new updated and certificated measurements of the cathedral, as requested by Veneranda Fabbrica del Duomo, and to produce the basis on which to build a future 3D BIM (Building Information Model) system implementation. In this paper, we would like to examine in depth the survey process of the exterior elevations of the cathedral carried out using photogrammetry as the main survey technique for orthophotos production. The case studies here presented have the goal of underlying challenges, discussing decisions and approaches, describing the followed pipeline and of defining a standard method that can be followed to produce gigapixel orthophotos of complex cultural heritages.
3D CAMERAS ACQUISITIONS FOR THE DOCUMENTATION OF CULTURAL HERITAGE
Authors: Pulcrano M. , Scandurra S. , Minin G. , di Luggo A.
Published: January 2019

Abstract. Photography has always been considered as a valid tool to acquire information about reality. Nowadays, its versatility, together with the development of new techniques and technologies, allows to use it in different fields of application. Particularly, in the digitization of built heritage, photography not only enables to understand and document historical and architectural artifacts but also to acquire morphological and geometrical data about them with automated digital photogrammetry. Nowadays, photogrammetry enables many tools to give virtual casts of reality by showing it in the way of point cloud. Although they can have metric reliability and visual quality, traditional instruments – such as monoscopic cameras – involve a careful planning of the campaign phase and a long acquisition and processing time. On the contrary, the most recent ones, based on the integration of different sensors and cameras, try to reduce the gap between time and results. The latter include some systems of indoor mapping who, thanks to 360° acquisitions and SLAM technology, reconstruct the original scene in real time in great detail and with a photorealistic rendering. This study is aimed at reporting a research evaluating metric reliability and the level of survey detail with a Matterport Pro2 3D motorized rotating camera, equipped with SLAM technology, whose results have been compared with point clouds obtained by image-based and range-based processes.
Discovering sounds in Patagonia: characterizing sei whale (Balaenoptera borealis) downsweeps in the south-eastern Pacific Ocean
Authors: Español-Jiménez Sonia , Bahamonde Paulina A. , Chiang Gustavo , Häussermann Verena
Published: January 2019

Abstract. The sei whale (Balaenoptera borealis) is one of the least known
whale species. Information on sei whale distributions and its regional
variability in the south-eastern Pacific Ocean are even more scarce than that
from other areas. Vocalizations of sei whales from this region are not
described yet. This research presents the first characterization of sei whale
sounds recorded in Chile during the austral autumn of 2016 and 2017.
Recordings were done opportunistically. A total of 41 calls were identified
to be sei whale downsweeps. In 2016, calls ranged from an average maximum
frequency of 105.3 Hz down to an average minimum of 35.6 Hz over 1.6 s
with a peak frequency of 65.4 Hz. During 2017, calls ranged from an average
maximum frequency of 93.3 down to 42.2 Hz (over 1.6 s) with a peak
frequency of 68.3 Hz. The absolute minimum frequency recorded was 30 Hz and
the absolute maximum frequency was 129.4 Hz. Calls generally occurred in
pairs, but triplets or singles were also registered. These low-frequency
sounds share characteristics with recordings of sei whales near the Hawai'ian
Islands but with differences in the maximum frequencies and duration. These
calls distinctly differ from sounds previously described for sei whales in
the Southern Ocean and are the first documented sei whale calls in the
south-eastern Pacific.

Julio Cortázar y Gilbert Keith Chesterton. Revisión del concepto cortazariano de “sentimiento de lo fantástico” a la luz del concepto chestertoniano de “asombro agradecido”
Authors: Castany Prado Bernat
Published: January 2019

Este trabajo busca repensar el concepto de “sentimiento de lo fantástico”, central en la narrativa de Julio Cortázar, a la luz del concepto de “asombro agradecido”, que ocupa, a su vez, un lugar fundamental en la obra de Gilbert Keith Chesterton. En la primera parte se muestra de qué modo Julio Cortázar no sólo pudo asimilar directamente la obra del escritor inglés, algunas de cuyas novelas y poemas tradujo, sino también, indirectamente, a través de la obra de Jorge Luis Borges, uno de sus principales comentaristas y divulgadores. En la segunda parte se muestra de qué modo el concepto cortazariano de “sentimiento de lo fantástico” está directamente relacionado con el concepto de “asombro agradecido”, que Chesterton teorizó en su célebre ensayo Ortodoxia, y se reflexiona acerca de los diferentes modos que ambos autores tienen de traducirlo en un particular universo literario.
‘Poetisa’: ideología de un vocablo; el caso de México
Authors: Del Ángel Diana
Published: January 2019

A partir de un examen filológico del binomio ‘poeta/poetisa’ en diccionarios y artículos lexicográficos se muestran sus connotaciones ideológicas en el habla castellana, posteriormente se revisa el caso en el México contemporáneo. Para entender la carga negativa que el término tuvo para escritoras como Rosario Castellanos o Margarita Michelena fue preciso remontarnos al siglo XIX, cuando se vinculó el vocablo a rasgos como el  diletantismo y la cursilería. Con un breve recuento de notas y artículos literarios publicados la segunda mitad del siglo XX damos cuenta de la transición del empleo de ‘poetisa’ con fines neutros o peyorativos al uso de ‘poeta’ como marca de valor asignada a mujeres que escriben y publican poesía.

Authors: Arruti Arantza , Paños Castro Jessica
Published: January 2019

El objetivo principal de esta investigación es seguir profundizando en la formación inicial del profesor/a emprendedor/a (teacherpreneur) del grado en Educación Primaria, a través del análisis de las menciones ofertadas en el grado en Educación Primaria en España. Tras una introducción sobre el perfil del teacherpreneur y la necesidad de la Educación Emprendedora, y unas consideraciones generales sobre la situación actual del grado en Educación Primaria, finalmente se realiza un análisis de los itinerarios de especialización o menciones cualificadoras ofertadas en dicho título en las distintas universidades españolas, haciendo especial hincapié en aquellas estrechamente relacionadas con la formación del teacherpreneur. El análisis de datos realizado nos indica que de las 414 menciones ofertadas actualmente en las universidades españolas, solamente 20 relacionadas con las TIC y una con la Educación socio-emocional contribuyen parcialmente al perfil del teacherpreneur. En definitiva, las ideas expuestas a lo largo del artículo, defendidas a su vez por organismos europeos e instituciones nacionales, justifican la necesidad de diseñar una mención en emprendimiento que contribuya a desarrollar las competencias básicas del teacherpreneur. Esto contribuirá al desarrollo de una formación inicial de calidad para los futuros maestros de Educación Primaria, de manera que estos puedan hacer frente a las demandas del mercado actual, a las nuevas formas de enseñar y aprender, y a la educación integral de sus alumnos, en la que el desarrollo de la competencia emprendedora juega un papel fundamental.

On the Importance of Combining the Theoretical Teaching and Practical Teaching of College Sailing Club Courses-Taking Qingdao University of Science and Technology as an Example
Authors: Jin Yong-quan
Published: January 2019

The 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward the maritime power strategy. College students shoulder the heavy responsibility of building a maritime power, and they can get close to the ocean and appreciate the charm of the sea through participating in sailing. In recent years, with the rapid development of sailing in China, more and more colleges and universities have begun to participate in the sailing. For example, Xiamen University on behalf of China to participate in the World University Sailing Championships, and Qingdao University of Science and Technology on behalf of China to participate in the Russian St. Petersburg University Regatta. More and more sailing teams of universities went abroad to the world. In 2017, the China University Student Sailing Championship attracted more than 30 colleges and universities from all over the country. There are sailing courses in the universities that performance well in sailing races, such as Xiamen University, Qingdao University of Science and Technology, Dalian Maritime University. These courses are loved by many students, and the sport is especially appealing to students who like challenges, brainstorm and enjoy good physical constitution. Sailing is a combination of intelligence and physical strength. Theory and practical teaching are both very important in teaching. If the teacher combines theory and practical teaching in the teaching process, then the students will have a more solid grasp of the learning content in the sailing course, and their learning process will be more secure.

Authors: Okoro Ike O.
Published: January 2019

This paper substantiates the nexus of social sustainability with hierarchical modification and agency viability among commissioned military intelligence operatives of Defense Intelligence Agency. A descriptive study subsequent with a correlation configuration was utilized to determine the objective of this study. The statistical population was mostly commissioned military intelligence operatives of Nigerian Defense Intelligence Agency and a sample size of 300 commissioned military intelligence operatives; two hundred and forty two (242) men and fifty eight (58) women were arbitrarily picked utilizing the stratified random sampling methods. The data accumulation instruments were Social Sustainability Questionnaire, Standard Military Hierarchical Improvement Scale and Agency viability survey using Parsons’ Adaptation, Goal Attainment, Integration, Latency module (AGIL). Accordingly, the one-sample t-test data, Pearson correlation coefficient, linear regression analysis, F-test and independent t-test were applied to assess the data. The outcome of this study suggested that the contingency of social sustainability, hierarchical modification and Agency viability among commissioned military Intelligence operatives were highly significant and in demand. Additionally, social sustainability and hierarchical modification were altogether and emphatically related and social sustainability was essentially associated with subscales of Agency viability. Furthermore, social sustainability could predict 1.6% of the conflict in hierarchical modification and 2.9% of contradictions in Agency viability.
Motivations and Factors that Contribute to Successful Drumline Groups in Malaysia
Authors: Rosli Helmi
Published: January 2019

Drumline has gained more popularity as an independent percussion group with its new music arrangement and attractive drum groove. It is seen that a quite number of drumline groups have been established in Malaysia as part of music activities such as secondary school and university drumline and community group. However, the insufficient emphasis or highlights has likely created diverse perceptions on the development of drumline groups as they have the tendency to have different reasons for joining a drumline group. Therefore, to further investigate this matter, the study focuses on four subscales of intrinsic motivation of Intrinsic Motivation Inventory (IMI), which are (a) Interest-enjoyment dimension, (b) Effort-importance dimension, (c) Value-usefulness dimension, and (d) Pressure-tension dimension. The data is collected using questionnaire, with the consideration of the members’ demographic profile, motivation and factors that contribute to the success of drumline groups, specifically in Malaysia. Based on the findings, majority of the members perceived their interest-enjoyment as a reason to join in the drumline ensemble group. They have an agreement on the fact that drumline is a great activity to participate as it is enjoyable and exciting. Also, it is identified that teamwork, enjoyment, and dedication were among the factors that contribute to successful drumline groups. In general, the members are motivated, despite the lack of sponsorship for drumline event or competition.

Authors: Zakaria Johannes N. , Panggabean Hana
Published: January 2019

The role of Global Mindset for individual’s qualities which enable leaders to influence people and organizations from different cultures is evidently important for leadership effectiveness in diversity contexts. While leadership is considered as one of the key competences to predict organizational excellence, its developmental process can start from a young age. Therefore, it is important to develop Global Mindset for young people. However, studies on global mindset in educational context are rare to find in comparison to that in organizational context. Indonesian educational system has been enriched with schools which are characterized by globally oriented education system known as SPK (Collaborative Education Unit) since the last decade. The objective of this study is to compare global mindset level of high school students from international school (SPK) and national school (SPN-National Education Unit) in Greater Jakarta area. A global mindset scale was delivered to 132 students (N SPK = 59; SPN= 73). The independent sample t-test statistic was used and a significant difference of Global Mindset level between SPK and SPN students was found. The score of SPK Students is consistently higher than SPN students, both in general and dimensional levels. While presenting the Global Mindset profiles of both educational contexts, predetermining factors are discussed; in addition, recommendations about school curriculum and atmosphere to develop students’ Global Mindset are provided.
Assessing Aquifer Stress Index (ASI) Using Rating Method and Analytic Hierarchy Process for a Coastal Unconfined Aquifer
Authors: Somaratne Nara
Published: January 2019

Small groundwater basins are highly vulnerable to over draft and susceptible to droughts as they are locally recharged. The sustainable development and management of groundwater basins therefore benefits from quantitative assessment of the basin status in terms of the current stress level. This paper introduces the Aquifer Stress Index (ASI) using a rating method and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), a widely used multi-criteria decision support technique. Six evaluation criteria were used to determine the ASI; water levels, water quality, groundwater pumping, saline water intrusion, recharge and land use threat. For each criterion, a rating score and weight are used to evaluate the stress level. Rating scores for criteria were assigned based on multiple datasets obtained from the field investigations. Weightings for criteria were determined by pairwise comparison of AHP process. Based on the ASI, five characteristic stress regimes of the aquifers are defined: no stress, low stress, moderate stress, high stress and extreme stress. The stress level indicates the extent of groundwater availability and current development impact on the aquifer integrity. The method was applied in detail to Uley South coastal aquifer, and results indicate that the overall stress level of the aquifer is moderate. This research indicates that declining water levels are the major cause of Uley South basin’s aquifer stress, due to ongoing extractions and reduced long-term recharge. Depending on the aquifer stress level, management plans can be developed for sustainable use of the aquifer to help ensure current and future water security.
“Against All Odds”. Female Small Scale Mine Owners in Gwanda, Zimbabwe
Authors: Ndlovu Vezumuzi , Ndhlovu Valentine , Mpofu Moreblessing
Published: January 2019

Historically, the mining sector has been a preserve of males, making it a highly male dominated environment which had very few women. Even in contemporary periods, the mining sector is still largely viewed as a gender “blind” sector to a larger extent. The study sought to explore the challenges faced by female small scale mine owners and how they have managed to survive in the harsh mining environment in which they operate. Study results indicate female mine owners face daunting challenges such as lack of financial capital and high costs associated with mining activities, lack of equipment, lack of technical knowledge of mining, as well as legal and policy constraints. Regardless of these challenges these mining start-ups by women have managed to survive and even grow in the harsh economic and political environment in Zimbabwe. The study concluded that challenges faced by female mine owners can be traced to gender disparity whose genesis is the patriarchal nature of Zimbabwean society and the untenable economic and political climate that has been in existence in Zimbabwe since the year 2000. Given a conducive socio-political and economic environment as well as a permitting legal and policy framework, women entrepreneurs can play a significant role in the economic transformation of the country.
A SAFE MONETARY CENTRAL BANKING POLICY AS A SIGNIFICANT INSTRUMENT FOR LIQUIDITY MAINTENANCE IN THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM
Authors: Prokopowicz Dariusz
Published: January 2019

Currently, it is assumed that the global financial crisis of 2008 was effectively mastered and averted several years ago, but its sources have not been fully eliminated. The anti-crisis model of state intervention that was applied during the global financial crisis of 2008 was a modified Keynsian formula known from the 1930s, adapted to the realities of contemporary national economies. The main instrument of anti-crisis policy was the significant development of a mild monetary policy and interventionist measures aimed at reducing the risk of bankruptcy of enterprises and banking entities and stopping the decline in lending in banking systems. In developed countries, anti-crisis interventionist assistance programs for the financial system and pro-active interventionist measures were activated in order to stimulate significantly weakened economic growth. As part of pro-development state intervention activities, the Federal Reserve Bank applied a low monetary policy of low interest rates and a program for activating lending and maintaining liquidity in the financial system by financing the purchase from commercial banks of the most endangered assets. A few years later, the European Central Bank applied the same activities of activation monetary policy.

Published: January 2019

The subject of the article is the analysis of multicultural issues as a challenge for contemporary pedagogics. This analysis concerns the practical, philosophical and social aspects as well as educational and preventive aspects of multiculturalism. The inspiration to take up the topic was the growing problems related to it, and above all, still registered by sociologists, act of treating "other" as "foreign" by a large percentage of students. In this context, an important pedagogical task is to reject the ideological understanding of multiculturalism and to encourage respecting Polish tradition and culture, and on the other hand to counteract the aggression caused by unhealthy reactions to multiculturalism.
EDUCATION AS AN EXPORT GOOD BASED ON THE EXAMPLE OF AUSTRALIA
Authors: Korczak Jarosław
Published: January 2019

Australia is known for exporting the wide range of goods to almost every place of the world. These goods, among others, are iron, aluminum, gold, coal, natural gas and beef. However, apart from material things, services are also an important segment of exports. The main ones are those related to education and travel. Educational ser-vices themselves are the third largest asset exported by Australia. They are not limited to the science itself but constitute a wide range of services accompanying the education process of foreign students. These include travel services, rental of real estate, agencies etc. This specificity and conditions conducive to such a large amount of educational services in a country that has no immediate neighbors is the subject of this description. It covers the characteristics of exported educational services, including data on the scale of its exports, major recipients, types of educational institutions, directions that are most popular among students. In addition, Australia's export educa-tional activity will also be discussed with the Polish example.
THE IMPORTANCE OF TEACHERS’ CONTINUING EDUCATIONWITH USE OF MULTIMEDIA EDUCATION
Authors: Gołębieska-Wesołowska Agnieszka
Published: January 2019

The aim of the article is to describe the impact and significance of not only self-education of teachers, but also continuous training on teacher’s comprehensive development in the entire digital space (including multimedia) which he deals with not only in his professional work. Participation in continuous training in the era of infor-mation society is the only way to successfully adapt man to the changes resulting from the progress of civilization. The wealth of organizational forms of teacher education makes education a good accessible to all, regardless of age, level of education or material status. Adults strive to improve their skills and knowledge. Motivation is one of the most important factors determining the effectiveness of adult learning. It should be remembered that the teach-er's role is crucial in the process of teaching and up bringing children and youth. The profession of a teacher is characterized above all by the fact that his area of activity is contact with people, especially children and youth, and the primary purpose of his actions is to educate. Working as a teacher sets requirements, which are not lim-ited only to the transfer of knowledge. These tasks are also the transfer of experiences, stimulation to being crea-tive, active and motivated, which contributes to the shaping of the value system of a young person. Implementation of these tasks may result with the teacher's feeling overloaded with work. It is important whether the beliefs about the teaching profession are reasonable and the skills are adapted to the position. The profession of teacher and educator is combined with the fulfilment of a social role, which includes, among other things: contact with another person, emotional involvement, and possession of appropriate competences, continuous improvement, functioning in difficult situations, strong social exposure and effective working under the stress. We must remember that not all teachers are equally susceptible to stress and not everyone is equally affected by its effects, so the degree of risk of burnout syndrome differs between individual teachers.
ASPECTOS MÉTRICOS Y FORMALES DE LA TRADICIÓN POÉTICA ÁRABE EN EL DIVÁN DEL TAMARIT, DE FEDERICO GARCÍA LORCA
Authors: Molina Prieto Begoña
Published: January 2019

En este trabajo se abordan las relaciones métricas entre el Diván del Tamarit y la poesía arábigo-andaluza. Además del análisis métrico, el objetivo también es comprobar qué uso hace Lorca de las denominaciones literarias árabes: diwan, qasida y gacela. La importancia de este estudio radica en comprobar el acercamiento palpable que se observa en el Diván del poeta granadino hacia la tradición poética árabe, pero siempre manteniendo una poética lorquiana. Para llevarlo a cabo se han utilizado fundamentalmente tres obras árabes: los Poemas arábigoandaluces del arabista Emilio García Gómez, a través de quien Lorca conoció los poemas de Ibn Hazm, Ibn Suhayd, Ibn Zamrak o Ibn Zaydun, entre otros; El mejor Ben Quzmán en 40 zéjeles, también editada y traducida por el mismo autor, y las Casidas selectas de Ibn Zaydun, traducidas y editadas por Mahmud Sobh.

El uso de zeuxis y azeuxis como términos métricos, para indicar la agrupación o la separación silábica de dos o más vocales contiguas –en la palabra aislada o entre palabras distintas–, está justifi cado por razones que no obedecen meramente a criterios de simplifi cación terminológica. Si bien esto sería ya de por sí sufi ciente motivo para su empleo, en este trabajo se pone de manifi esto su directa conexión con las exigencias de objetividad y rigor científi co en el terreno de la prosodia y de la métrica como disciplinas académicas.

FORMAS DE ESTRIBILLO EN LA POESÍA DE EMILIO PRADOS
Authors: García-Page Mario
Published: January 2019

Un rasgo de la creación poética de Emilio Prados es el empleo del estribillo, un recurso característico de la poesía popular tradicional, en especial de la poesía de tipo paralelístico. El estribillo es no sólo un artifi cio de versifi cación, sino también un fenómeno de repetición de orden textual. El estribillo se manifi esta en Prados muy diversamente: repetición exacta / repetición inexacta o variable, estribillo exento o tipográfi camente aislado / estribillo integrado (es decir, embutido en la estrofa), etc. Una de las principales formas de expresión del estribillo en Emilio Prados es la ruptura consciente en la última ocurrencia del estribillo en el cierre del poema (por ejemplo, mediante una variación léxica, gramatical o gráfi ca, o por la adición de un verso extraño).
EL ENDECASÍLABO CON ACENTOS EN 4a Y 5a SÍLABAS
Authors: Pardo Arcadio
Published: January 2019

Este trabajo propone una manera distinta de considerar los endecasílabos con acentos en las sílabas contiguas 4a y 5a así como el desarrollo rítmico del verso. La contigüidad de las sílabas 4a y 5a se ha interpretado como un «confl icto» que se trata de resolver aquí. La sílaba 4a, aislada de su entorno rítmico, ofrece un comportamiento distinto.

LA PERVIVENCIA DE ESQUEMAS MÉTRICOS TRADICIONALES EN LAS CANCIONES POP ESPAÑOLAS
Authors: Martínez Cantón Clara Isabel
Published: January 2019

Las letras de canciones pop actuales en español no se ciñen normalmente a una estructura métrica clásica, ya que siguen un ritmo predeterminado por la música que hace que esto sea innecesario. Sin embargo, el prestigio de la poesía, unido a la fuerza de la tradición hace que todavía podamos rastrear algunos casos de letras de canciones que parecen compuestas bajo el prisma de la poesía, utilizando metros como endecasílabos, heptasílabos, etc.; y estrofas como cuartetos, serventesios, seguidillas, redondillas, etc. La utilización de estos moldes puede ser interpretada de muy diversas maneras: justifi cación artística, reivindicación de la inclusión de estas letras dentro del ámbito de la cultura con mayúsculas, o simple diálogo con la tradición.

LA MÉTRICA DE MINTURNO
Authors: Torre Esteban
Published: January 2019

En este trabajo se hace un análisis completo de la teoría métrica de Minturno, sobre la base de dos obras fundamentales del Renacimiento italiano: De poeta (1559) y L’arte poetica (1564). En la métrica de Minturno, es esencial la concepción del verso –verso intero– como un todo, y no meramente como un compuesto de partes menores, o pies métricos. Algunos autores españoles, como Rengifo y Cascales, siguen en sus tratados una doctrina similar.
MÉTRICA Y POESÍA EN EDUARDO BENOT
Authors: García Tejera M.ª Carmen
Published: January 2019

Este artículo plantea la relación complementaria de dos facetas de Eduardo Benot (Cádiz, 1822-Madrid, 1907): su innovación en métrica (expuesta en su obra Prosodia castellana y versifi cación, 1892) y su creación poética (que encontramos en esta obra y, sobre todo, en su libro de poemas España, 1905). Aunque la poesía de Benot tiene escasa calidad, resulta muy útil para conocer, en la práctica, sus propuestas métricas
¿QUÉ ES EL VERSO? / ¿CUÁNDO UNA LÍNEA ES VERSO?
Authors: Torre Esteban
Published: January 2019

La objetividad y los sólidos fundamentos de la Métrica nos permiten formular la pregunta “¿qué es el verso?”, y dar respuesta a la misma con criterios científi cos, describiendo coherentemente cómo funciona el verso, unidad rítmica, en el conjunto poemático. En ningún caso implica esto una posición esencialista. Pero sí se someten aquí a crítica la teoría institucional de George Dickie y otras formas del relativismo artístico, tales como los análisis circunstancialistas de Nelson Goodman y Arthur Danto.
EL ENDECASÍLABO DACTÍLICO EN POESÍA POPULAR
Authors: Domínguez Caparrós José
Published: January 2019

Esta breve nota se centra en el uso que del romance popular asturiano ¡Ay Juana, cuerpo garrido! se hace en las discusiones sobre el endecasílabo dactílico. Se estudian especialmente las cuestiones de tio métrico y textual que se manifi estan por las distintas actitudes de los teóricos que han utilizado este texto (Manuel Milá y Fontanals, Eduardo de la Barra, Marcelino Menéndez y Pelayo, y Julio Vicuña Cifuentes).
LA RETÓRICA DEL VERSO: APROXIMACIONES A LA MÉTRICA DESDE LA RETÓRICA
Authors: Aradra Sánchez Rosa María
Published: January 2019

Métrica y poética son disciplinas tradicionalmente emparentadas. En el panorama general de los estudios literarios, la retórica ofrece también un interesante campo de análisis en relación con el verso, no siempre considerado. Este trabajo es un primer recorrido introductorio por algunas de las incursiones teóricas de la retórica en el ámbito del verso, y su refl ejo concreto en las distintas fases de elaboración del discurso persuasivo, especialmente en las fi guras de la elocución.
INCIERTAS ESTANCIAS. VERSO LIBRE, REGULAR E IRREGULAR EN EL PRIMER NERUDA
Authors: Luján Atienza Ángel Luis
Published: January 2019

Este artículo se plantea, a partir del estudio de la métrica del primer libro de Pablo Neruda, Crepusculario, y el exhaustivo repertorio de formas métricas empleadas en él un doble objetivo. Por una parte, se constata, como aportación a la historia de la literatura del Post-modernismo hispanoamericano, la tendencia del primer Neruda a experimentar sobre patrones métricos pertenecientes al Modernismo sin avanzar hacia las formas renovadoras de la vanguardia ya en vigencia en su tiempo. En el plano de teoría métrica, este estudio pretende aportar algunas consideraciones sobre el controvertido deslinde entre verso libre y versifi cación regular e irregular. A este respecto, y partiendo del ejemplo de Crepusculario, se hace una clara distinción entre verso libre, formas estrófi cas sancionadas por la tradición, formas regulares inventadas por el poeta y formas irregulares que no pueden considerarse verso libre.

OSCURO OBOE DE BRUMA... MÉTRICA, RITMO E INTERPRETACIÓN
Authors: Martínez Fernández José Enrique , Martínez Cantón Clara Isabel
Published: January 2019

“Oscuro oboe de bruma” es el comienzo del primer canto de Noche más allá de la noche, de Antonio Colinas, cuya primera edición es de 1982. Es el comienzo también del “Post-scriptum” o poema fi nal del mismo libro, si bien nuestro análisis se refi ere sólo al canto primero. En un artículo anterior (Martínez Fernández, 2004) habíamos dado cuenta de las correcciones y ajustes métricos a que había procedido Antonio Colinas en las tres ediciones del poemario en 2004, como exento (Colinas, 2004), dentro de En la luz respirada (Colinas, 2004a) y en la sexta edición de la obra poética completa hasta el momento (Colinas, 2004b); tales correcciones fueron numerosas y afectaron a la mayoría de los cantos, y entre ellos, aunque mínimamente, también al primero, como veremos.
UNA INCURSIÓN MÉTRICA EN LA POESÍA DE NICANOR PARRA
Authors: Mármol Carlos
Published: January 2019

El objeto de este artículo es hacer una incursión métrica en el código lírico sobre el que se sustenta la denominada antipoesía de Nicanor Parra a partir de la comparación crítica de dos de sus antipoemas con referentes procedentes de la tradición de la mejor poesía escrita en español del siglo XX (Machado y Borges). De dicho contraste se desprende que el discurso poético presente en la obra del poeta chileno cuestiona una serie de convenciones del discurso lírico tradicional con el afán de superarlas. Dicha renovación lírica, sin embargo, no se reduce a la mera oposición con respecto a la tradición, sino que busca reorientar la enunciación lírica hacia una sensibilidad más acorde con el hombre de nuestro tiempo.
¿ACENTOS CONTIGUOS EN EL VERSO ESPAÑOL?
Authors: Torre Esteban
Published: January 2019

Un exhaustivo análisis de los versos endecasílabos del libro de poemas Ancia de Blas de Otero, así como el estudio métrico de algunos otros textos poéticos, pone de manifi esto el papel de los acentos principales o rítmicos, y los secundarios o metarrítmicos. En un eventual choque de sílabas tónicas, pertenecientes a palabras adyacentes, la prominencia del acento rítmico o metarrítmico anula o debilita el acento de la sílaba contigua. Podemos llamar pararrítmico este acento.
