The representation of the disability in the recent Spanish narrative raises several questions: by the role and place that the excluded occupy in the fictitious worlds, by the point of view and the tonality in which they are represented, by the reaction of the other participants of fiction. In the recent novel by Cristina Morales titled “Lectura fácil”, four protagonists are presented with intellectual disability. For his condition the metaphor of slavery is used, but it is not an internal oppression, but external and institutional one. The social system is much more oppressive and violent than the experience of the disease itself. They radicalize and oppose the therapeutic and normalizing attempts of society and thus question the dominant culture. The presentation of the disability made by Morales lacks the perspective of superiority, but also cedes from a different emotional perspective compared to the portraits of normative characters.
Artykuł po krótkiej prezentacji historii przybycia grup cygańskich na Półwysep Iberyjski skupia się na ich obrazie wyłaniającym się z wierszy Federica Garcíi Lorki zawartych w jego dwóch znanych tomach poetyckich: Poema de cante jondo (1931) oraz Romancero gitano (1928).W wypadku pierwszego tomu oś analizy koncentruje się na próbie scharakteryzowania cygańskiego charakteru pieśni znanych jako cante jondo w odwołaniu do rozmaitych wypowiedzi publicznych i wykładów autora oraz ich poetyckiego odbicia. Analiza tomu drugiego obejmuje przede wszystkim próbę ukazania konfliktu między społecznością cygańską, charakteryzującą się wyobraźnią i inspiracją, a funkcjonariuszami Gwardii Cywilnej, reprezentującymi porządek i represyjny utylitaryzm. Na plan pierwszy wysuwa się siła wyobraźni cygańskiej, pozwalająca im przetrwać godnie największe prześladowania i represje.
In the studies on poetry by Joan Brossa, his literary inspirations from the French tradition are indicated, but his connection with Spanish-language literature is almost nonexistent. The purpose of this article is to present Brossa’s testimonies about his Federico García Lorca readings and to compare his “Sonet del pur estrèpit” (1949) with Lorca’s “Muerte” (1931). Both poems show textual and conceptual similarities and share the theme of metamorphosis, so we propose their analysis to look for possible inspirations in different philosophical and aesthetic traditions (surrealism, Ovid, Darwin, Zen Buddhism).
