Mireia FERRANDO SIMON
Original title: Aproximació a l’espai urbà en l’obra d’un poeta: Marc Granell i València
Published in
Keywords: Catalan poetry, Marc Granell, Urban spaces, València.
Marc Granell (València, 1953) is one of the most relevant Catalan poets of the last third of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century. He has described himself as a “urbanita”, because he has practically never lived outside his native València. The aim of this paper is to analyze how urban spaces are conceived in his poetry and to explore his vision about València, the city that has accompanied him throughout his 40 years of literary career.

Burgundy and German Empire in Curial. The centre of Europe seen from the periphery
Abel SOLER
Original title: Borgonya i l’Imperi Alemany en el Curial. El centre d’Europa vist des de la perifèria
Published in
Keywords: Alfonso the Magnanimous, Chivalric romance, Curial e Güelfa, Medieval catalan literature.
The chivalric romance Curial e Güelfa (anonymous; datable ca. 1445-1448) is the most emblematic literary artefact of a court in Europe’s periphery, like the Neapolitan one of Alfonso the Magnanimous, where Catalan –also a «periphereal» language– was the most widespread. The king’s favourite painters were Flemish and the author of the romance was fascinated by the Burgundian cavalry-performance, played here by characters like the duke (Philip III the Pious), the lords of Bergues and Saint-Georges, the German duke of Kleve, etc. The Holy Roman Empire, the duchies of Bavaria and Austria, the kingdom of Hungary and other states in central Europe are well depicted in the romance, as the unknown writer had news about the courts, the diplomacy and the aristocratic circles from the heart of the continent.

Guillem CHISMOL
Original title: Estado, nación y sentimiento nacional en la Baja Edad Media
Published in
Keywords: Historiography, Middle Ages, Modern State, Nation, Taxation.
The article analyses the formation of the modern state during the later middle ages (13th-15th centuries) in Western Europe. It links the formation of this to the elites close to the monarch with the deployment of complex strategies of collective identification of the notables with the monarchy, the country and the national community. Attention is also given to the materiality of the State, present through permanent taxation, which in turn generated national feelings.

The tree and the light. Signs and significances in the Llibre d’amic e amat by Ramon Llull
Maria SAIZ RAIMUNDO
Original title: L’arbre i la llum. Signes i significacions al Llibre d’amic e amat de Ramon Llull
Published in
Keywords: Llibre d’amic e amat, Mysticism, Ramon Llull, Sign, Significance.
All the creatures are divided into signs and significates: all signs are things, and, in addition, there are significant. In the Middle Ages, the world is a place of theophanys and, therefore, all creatures and all creation are sign of God. Thus, the signs become a fundamental element of a medieval culture and, obviously, they also play an important role in the literature of the time. In this work, we suggest proposing identifying and analyzing two of the elements that have an important significance in the Llibre d'amic i amat by Ramon Llull: the tree and the light. This element serves the hermit (l’amic) in the cam to the search of God (l’amat), since they are at the service of the first Llull intention: to love, to understand and to serve God.
