Summary: This article suggests that Lope's repertoire should include La francesa Laura, a comedia found in an anonymous manuscript of the BNE that has never been associated with the playwright before. The research was initiated based on the results from Transkribus and ETSO platforms, which revealed a close lexical relationship with the authentic plays of Fénix. In addition to these initial findings, the article incorporates various analyses proposed by philology over time for investigating authorship in Golden Age theater, providing valuable clarifications.

Summary: In this study, we aim to determine the authorship of a work associated with "El Fénix de los ingenios" titled "La paciencia en la fortuna." This piece contains various indications suggesting that it could belong to Lope, such as the approval of Gracián Dantisco, allusions to the Duke of Lerma, the thematic similarities to "lujuria del déspota", and praise for the Aragonese lineage of the Moncada. However, there are also external documentary indices that point to Claramonte as the author, which are strongly supported by intratextual elements such as usus scribendi, metrics, and intertextuality.

Summary: During the ideological crisis of the 1950s, the Divine Comedy emerged as a model for authors, existentialists, and politicians, as well as a multilingual model. Auerbach's concept of Mimesis was added in 1957, anticipating the arrival of neo-capitalism in the 1960s, coinciding with the rise of the neoavant-garde and the Gruppo 63. Pier Paolo Pasolini's La Divina Mimesis, an unfinished remake of Dante's poem, depicts the crisis of his mimetic poetics in the encounter between his 1950s self and his 1960s self. The characterization of the three beasts serves as a sociolinguistic framework in which the author-actor identifies the evil within himself and in society.

Dialects differ in their use of explicit pronouns or implicit pronominal categories. While the variant with implicit pronouns is similar to relative clause extraposition in some ways, there are distinguishing factors.

By tracing the construction of these characters in classical and Iberian literature, the author identifies the mythical roots used by Silva in his dramas.

Summary: This article proposes an alternative way to understand the subject through an analysis of Gracian's thought and his reflection on the notion of "genio comun de las naciones". The hypothesis put forth is that an individual's own genius is inherently linked to a communal genius, with the particular genius being a manifestation of this communal basis. Furthermore, the article explores a trans-individual perspective of both subject and culture based on the community foundation, emphasizing the relevance of Baroque thought in modern times.

Summary: Bacurau is considered as an interpretation of Brazilian society under the influence of global capitalism and U.S imperialism, combined with the corruption of the political class, leading to a fantasy of violent uprising. While the film faced criticism from the political right and center, it has received little critique from left perspectives. Furthermore, little has been done to analyze its engagement with horror, despite its incorporation of resources from horror cinema.
