The exhibition of the naked and near-naked bodies of enslaved people is a notable feature in cinematic representation of Rome. This article analyses the way in which these bodies are framed erotically and what an examination of this feature can tell us about the cinematic reception of ancient Rome. In this article, particular attention is paid to t...
This paper aims to contribute to the study of the first stages of the development of European politeness, through the analysis of the metalanguage of politeness used in two Latin poems with the title Facetus ( Facetus: cum nihil utilius and Facetus: moribus et vita ), both dating from the twelfth century. These two texts established a fertile genre...
The study of ancient heroes in film provides an eminent contribution to our understanding of the present by identifying the upheavals, conflicts, crises and resolution strategies that manifest themselves in heroic figures. This volume approaches heroizations by examining political leadership in heroic narratives and the influence of ancient heroes...
Este trabajo propone un análisis de la novela gráfica La cólera (2020) de Javier Olivares y Santiago García, en el que, desde la perspectiva de la Recepción Clásica, se atiende a las novedades que propone esta reescritura de la Ilíada. Esas novedades son especialmente llamativas en dos ámbitos: la identidad de género y sexual, y las desigualdades s...

The concept of “Discernment politeness” stems from research undertaken in the 1980s on the Japanese phenomenon of wakimae. Since the earliest work on the phenomenon by Hill et al. (1986) and Ide (1989, 1992), many scholars have looked to further explore Discernment across cultures (i.e. Kádár and Mills, 2013; Kádár and Paternoster, 2015; Ridealgh a...
This chapter aims at contributing to the study of linguistic politeness in the comedies of Plautus and Terence, through offering an overview of the expressions of happiness that are found in small talk, greetings and welcomes, congratulations and other speech acts. All these emotional expressions function as face-enhancing devices and convey positi...
This paper presents an analysis of conceptions of linguistic politeness in ancient Rome. Using lexical analysis, it scrutinizes first-order data recoverable from the Latin sources at our disposal, in order to determine the notions and dimensions of politeness that Romans were sensitive to. This kind of approach is helpful, primarily, when developin...
In the last years, the burgeoning research field of linguistic im/politeness in Classical languages, specially in Latin, has received a great deal of attention and has become an important research area, with promising and enriching results for our knowledge of ancient languages. The aim of this paper is to present an overview of the state of the ar...
Este trabajo, el tercero de una serie, presenta un análisis comparativo de los principales valores que desarrollan las interjecciones en los corpus teatrales de las comedias de Terencio y las tragedias de Séneca, agrupándolas según los distintos contenidos que expresan. Se re-flexiona además sobre la función de la interjección en el género analizad...
El presente trabajo constituye la segunda parte de un estudio amplio sobre la presencia de la figura del emperador Augusto en la cultura popular, con especial atención a las recreaciones en el cómic y en el cine. Se estudian aquí las imágenes que de la figura de Augusto han proyectado algunas producciones cinematográficas y televisivas, como Cleopa...
Este trabajo aborda el empleo del elemento clásico en la obra poética de tres autores líricos del siglo XVIII español poco conocidos: el conde de Noroña, José de Vargas y Ponce y José María Vaca de Guzmán y Manrique. Todos ellos comparten un amplio conocimiento de la Antigüedad grecorromana y, además, todos ellos, de acuerdo con la actitud de su ép...
This paper aims to be a contribution to the analysis of the expression of linguistic politeness in Latin. As a continuation of a previous study (Unceta Gómez, 2010), I examine the responses given to gratitude expressions, an intrinsically polite speech act, in the comedies of Plautus and Terence, which form an optimal corpus for this kind of analys...
Este trabajo ofrece un análisis comparativo de las características propias de la comedia palliata de Plauto (comediógrafo romano del siglo II a.C.) y de los elementos definitorios de la sitcom, género televisivo de gran aceptación popular. A través de este planteamiento, los autores pretenden poner de manifiesto la existencia de una tradición cómic...
This paper contributes to the study of linguistic politeness in the Latin language, through the analysis of the speech act of congratulation. Taking the comedies of Plautus (ca. 254-184 B.C.) and Terence (ca. 185-159 B.C.) as the corpus, the present study analyses both the possibilities that the speaker has at his/her disposal to express this commu...
This paper analyzes the treatment given to the figure of Helen of Troy in the play Juicio a una zorra (2011), which provides us with a human and postmodern model of a woman who takes her own decisions and faces the consequences. The author, Miguel del Arco (Madrid, 1965), takes advantage of the rich and complex mythical tradition developed around H...
This paper presents a pragmatic analysis of the notion of “apology” in the synchronic stage reflected in the comedies written by Plautus and Terence. This allows to deepen the understanding of the expression of linguistic politeness in Latin. The linguistic act of apology is defined as the attempt of repairing an offence committed against the addre...
El objetivo del presente trabajo es el análisis de las claves interpretativas de Los bosques de Nyx, pieza teatral del narrador aragonés Javier Tomeo Estallo, para lo que el planteamiento de la obra se pone en relación con la fantasía bangsiana, subgénero de la ciencia ficción, y en última instancia con los Diálogos de los Muertos de Luciano de Sam...
Rewriting the Homeric poems as science fiction may be considered an outrage against some of the most important literary works of Western civilization. Even more so should this task be carried out by someone with a profound literary knowledge that permits a complex network of intertextual references. The present article aims to analyse the mechanism...
The mythological tale about the origin of the universe has played an exceptionally significant role in ancient cultures, to the point of being considered a literary genre in its own right. However, the continuous changes in epistemological paradigms have gradually pushed it aside, and it won't be until the contemporary age that the cosmological tal...
La profunda influencia de la mitología clásica en todos los ámbitos de creación artística tradicional es algo fuera de toda duda. Sin embargo, su presencia en otras manifestaciones contemporáneas de la llamada «cultura popular» no resulta tan evidente, quizá por haber recibido una menor atención. El presente trabajo propone una aproximación a la pe...
El presente trabajo ofrece el tratamiento conjunto de un grupo de verbos (deuouere, deprecari, detestari, deuocare, etc.), pertenecientes en mayor o menor medida al léxico técnico de la religión y la magia, con la intención de dar explicación a los valores connotativos adicionales que desarrolla el preverbio de- en dicha parcela de vocabulario lati...
RESUMEN Se realiza en este trabajo una interpretación del contenido semántico originario del verbo latino petere, desligado por completo del sentido de su étimo indoeuropeo (*pet-: 'volar'), con el objetivo de penetrar en las posibles causas de la diversifica-ción significativa de este lexema. Para ello se propone la evolución semasiológica de esa...
