    Com’uom che sogna: la pseudosimilitudine nella Commedia dantesca tra fallimento e riscatto del narratore e del personaggio.
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones., 2026) Di Liberto, Maria Antonella Piera; Sin departamento asociado
    This paper aims to contribute to an in-depth study of the pseudosimilitudes used in Dante’s Commedia. These are formally comparative structures that differ from true similes in that they express an attitude or behaviour proper to human beings through a relationship of equality - which does not mean identity - between vehicle and tenor. They are placed at moments of stasis when the pilgrim feels fragile and fears failure. These feelings are conveyed in a particular way through the theme of sleep and the dream dimension connected with it. In the context of these peculiar comparative forms, they - but more particularly the dream - represent a moment of despondency and even delirium in which truth and falsehood are confused and vision is opaque and uncertain. Tied to the topos of ineffability, they first involve narrator and pilgrim, eventually the narrator alone.

    El cuerpo en el arte como metáfora de la violencia
    (Universidad de Murcia. Servicio de Publicaciones, 2016) Capriles Sandner, Claudia
    El cuerpo del hombre contemporáneo se expresa por medio de un discurso en constante transformación y las expresiones escénicas son manifestaciones para su análisis e interpretación. El cuerpo sintetiza en sus procesos de creación elementos substanciales de la violencia y deja al descubierto a un sujeto fragilizado que arrastra heridas como producto de sus vivencias. La violencia ha dado paso a la culpa y la vergüenza, emociones morales que han marcado profundamente al ser contemporáneo.
