articleOpen access1st authorCorrespondingEl presente trabajo estudia la representación que hace el oidor sevillano Antonio de Morga de dos gustos de los habitantes del archipiélago asiático en los Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas (México, 1609). Analiza cómo se manifiesta la actitud de Morga hacia los filipinos a través de su presentación de las costumbres culinaria e higiénica de aquellos. Se arguye que, a pesar de su reconocida imparcialidad, la imagen filipina de Morga revela un sistema de conceptos destinados a esquematizar cualquier mundo desconocido y no cristiano.

A web of diverse circumstances has led to the outbreak of the Flanders War, which started during the last decade of the sixteenth century and ended with the independence of Holland in 1659. This fight of the Low Countries against the Spanish monarchy in the European continent was closely linked to the presence of the Dutch in the Pacific.

On the figure of Trampagos in El rufian viudo by Cervantes
UNC Libraries · 2021-08-19
articleOpen access1st authorCorrespondingThis paper proposes to examine the figure of rufián in El rufián viudo and Cervantes’ debts to the poems by Rodrigo de Reinosa, Álvaro de Solana, and Juan Hidalgo. The article also intends to show that, in addition to the conventional characteristics of the type of rufián that one finds in Trampago, there are also imprints of numerous literary traditions – most significantly, Garcilaso’s eclogues. The presence of Garcilaso not only introduces a change of sensibility and new themes to Cervantes’ entremés , but it also contributes to the creation of a character that transcends the literary formula.
