The narrative with little Alice as the main character, created by Lewis Carroll at the end of the 19th century, continues to occupy a prominent place in the collective imagination of people of all age, both for its consolidation as a classic of Children and Young Adults Literature and for the multitude of literary and film rewritings it has given rise to. The aim of this article is to analyse, from a gender perspective, the free literary rewriting and ideological in use, the picture book entitled La esposa del Conejo Blanco, written and illustrated by Gilles Bachelet. The results show the clear intention of the work to denounce and criticise the instance of marriage as a mechanism of subjugation of women, without losing aesthetic and literary quality or originality. In the final conclusion, it is evident that the combination of text and image through different types of interaction and the use of sarcasm, hidden in the words of the protagonist, which gain a new meaning with the accompaniment of the illustration, reinforces the link of the work with the non-child audience, whose problems are exposed and denounced in the album.

O obxectivo deste artigo é relatar as dificultades que a censura franquista puxo ao libro Escolma posible, editado por Galaxia en 1964, antoloxía de textos de Castelao organizada por Marino Dónega. Con carácter preliminar, examínanse os trazos máis relevantes da imaxe do autor que a Ditadura pretendía consolidar, a partir principalmente da lectura dos informes de censura dalgunhas das súas obras. Despois de revisar o expediente de Escolma posible de modo pormenorizado, préstase atención á recepción coetánea dispensada ao volume. A conclusión máis importante que se alcanza é que Escolma posible foi un proxecto condicionado polo contexto represivo do Réxime, e non tanto pola suposta vontade de Galaxia de potenciar a dimensión artística e literaria de Castelao.

The researcher, professor of Galician Literature at USC and literary critic María Xesús Nogueira publishes in 2021 two volumes around the figure of Xela Arias, the poet honoured with the Galician Letters Day 2021. This academic note aims to make a comparison between both works, highlighting the analysis of the points in common and looking for the why of the differences, that will arise due especially to the type of public to which each one is oriented. It will also try to examine the fulfilment or non-fulfilment of some of the most problematic characteristics of the biography genre established by Ricardo Senabre (1998) and Arenas Cruz (1998) in these two specific works.

O frío azul (2007), a novel by the Galician writer Ramón Caride Ogando, is a significant example of the propensity of postmodern historical narrative to reflect on the blurring of boundaries between domains of knowledge such as history and literature. In this context, interdiscursivity is assumed for the author both as a horizon of fictional re-encounter with the available archive and as a scenario of creative subversion of the references found there. In the work of Ramón Caride, this perspective is shown, among other aspects, in the representation of violence, which we will focus on from the study of three intercommunicating dimensions: space, sovereignty and the marvelous.

In 11th century Constantinople the poet Christophoros Mitylenaios composed a metrical calendar in iambics, in which he reproduced in verse all the feasts and conmemorations of saints included in the synaxarion. Later he wrote three more variants, with different metric forms, and established himself as the initiator of a new literary subgenre, which obtained a successful reception in the byzantine society, as well as was quickly included in the liturgy of the Constantinopolitan Church. This article analyzes process of composition of the iambic calendar, understanding it as a product of the confluence of the hagiographical and epigrammatic traditions, of the rhetorical instruction of its time and of the authorial interpretation. for that purpose, a study is carried out into structural schemes and expressive and pragmatical discursive strategies with the aim of identifying the patterns that define the metrical calendar as an original literary genre.

This article aims to analyze the phenomenon of literary transfer during the period of European Romanticism, by the mean of poetic translation. More specifically we have tried to study systematically the manuscript of the History of Modern Greek Literature of Joseph Dunin – Borkowski (1809-1843), by an analysis of the historical and human context as well as a parallel comparison of poetic translations following the text of the Polish poet.

The Πόνημα ἰατρικόν by Michael Psellos is a didactic poem on medicine. The work, as it has been preserved until today, lacks a programmatic prologue, nevertheless, in a brief passage, introduced between verses 531-537, the author states that his intention is not to gather everything about this discipline, but to stir up the appetite for it in his learned friends using the charm of the verses. Taking into account the intentions expressed by the author himself, our aim is to analyze, by comparing and contrasting the poem with its sources (Paul of Aegina, Theophilus Protospatharius and Palladius of Alexandria), what kind of medical contents he selects from these sources and how he adapts and uses them, in order to verify how Psellos’ purpose is fulfilled.
