As a student of art history and literature, and a creative writer, I am interested in fusing my interests by writing about art and studying the relationships between text and image. I have written a collection of ekphrastic poems, poems which are based on works of art. After reading extensively in this genre of poetry and researching its origins and evolution throughout literary history, I have come to a greater appreciation for those who write ekphrasis and what it can accomplish in the craft of writing.
Empirically Identify and Analyze Trained and Untrained Observers

EDRS PRICE EDRS Price MF-$0.65 HC-$6.58 DESCRIPTORS *Affective Behavior, *Art Expression, *Color Presentation, *Data Analysis, Factor Analysis, *Measurement Instruments, Rating Scales ABSTRACT The objectives of this study were twofold: (1) to empirically identify and analyze trained and untrained observers affective responses to a representative collection of paintings for the purpose et constructing art differential instruments, and (2) to use these instruments to objectively identify and evaluate the major affective factors and components associated with selected paintings by trained and untrained observers. The first objective was accomplished by having 120 trained and 120 untrained observers elicit a universe of 12,450 adjective qualifiers to a collection of 209 color slides of paintings. Data analyses yielded subsets of adjective qualifiers most characteristic of trained and untrained observers' affective decoding of the 209 slides. These subsets served as a basis for constructing separate art differential instruments for trained and untrained observers' use in subsequent analyses. The second objective was achieved by having 48 trained and 48 untrained observers rate 24 color slides of paintings on 50 scale art differential instruments. Trained and untrained observers' art differential ratings of the 24 paintings were factor analyzed in order to identify the major affective factors associated with the paintings.

Is There a Hidden Jewish Meaning in Don Quixote?

From: Cervantes: Bulletin of the Cervantes Society of America , 24.1 (2004): 173-88. Copyright © 2004, The Cervantes Society of America. Is There a Hidden Jewish Meaning in Don Quixote? MICHAEL MCGAHA t will probably never be possible to prove that Cervantes was a cristiano nuevo, but the circumstantial evidence seems compelling. The Instrucción written by Fernán Díaz de Toledo in the mid-fifteenth century lists the Cervantes family as among the many noble clans in Spain that were of converso origin (Roth 95). The involvement of Miguel’s an- cestors in the cloth business, and his own father Rodrigo’s profes- sion of barber-surgeon—both businesses that in Spain were al- most exclusively in the hand of Jews and conversos—are highly suggestive; his grandfather’s itinerant career as licenciado is so as well (Eisenberg and Sliwa). As Américo Castro often pointed out, if Cervantes were not a cristiano nuevo, it is hard to explain the marginalization he suffered throughout his life (34). He was not rewarded for his courageous service to the Spanish crown as a soldier or for his exemplary behavior during his captivity in Al- giers. Two applications for jobs in the New World—in 1582 and in 1590—were denied. Even his patron the Count of Lemos turn- 173 174 MICHAEL MCGAHA Cervantes ed down his request for a secretarial appointment in the Viceroy- alty of Naples.1 For me, however, the most convincing evidence of Cervantes’ converso background is the attitudes he displays in his work. I find it unbelievable that anyone other than a cristiano nuevo could have written the “Entremés del retablo de las maravi- llas,” for example.
He Dreams of Giants

From the makers of Lost In La Mancha comes A Tale of Obsession… He Dreams of Giants A film by Keith Fulton and Lou Pepe RUNNING TIME: 84 minutes United Kingdom, 2019, DCP, 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround, Aspect Ratio16:9 PRESS CONTACT: Cinetic Media Ryan Werner and Charlie Olsky 1 SYNOPSIS “Why does anyone create? It’s hard. Life is hard. Art is hard. Doing anything worthwhile is hard.” – Terry Gilliam From the team behind Lost in La Mancha and The Hamster Factor, HE DREAMS OF GIANTS is the culmination of a trilogy of documentaries that have followed film director Terry Gilliam over a twenty-five-year period. Charting Gilliam’s final, beleaguered quest to adapt Don Quixote, this documentary is a potent study of creative obsession. For over thirty years, Terry Gilliam has dreamed of creating a screen adaptation of Cervantes’ masterpiece. When he first attempted the production in 2000, Gilliam already had the reputation of being a bit of a Quixote himself: a filmmaker whose stories of visionary dreamers raging against gigantic forces mirrored his own artistic battles with the Hollywood machine. The collapse of that infamous and ill-fated production – as documented in Lost in La Mancha – only further cemented Gilliam’s reputation as an idealist chasing an impossible dream. HE DREAMS OF GIANTS picks up Gilliam’s story seventeen years later as he finally mounts the production once again and struggles to finish it. Facing him are a host of new obstacles: budget constraints, a history of compromise and heightened expectations, all compounded by self-doubt, the toll of aging, and the nagging existential question: What is left for an artist when he completes the quest that has defined a large part of his career? 2 Combining immersive verité footage of Gilliam’s production with intimate interviews and archival footage from the director’s entire career, HE DREAMS OF GIANTS is a revealing character study of a late-career artist, and a meditation on the value of creativity in the face of mortality.
The Universal Quixote: Appropriations of a Literary Icon

THE UNIVERSAL QUIXOTE: APPROPRIATIONS OF A LITERARY ICON A Dissertation by MARK DAVID MCGRAW Submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Eduardo Urbina Committee Members, Paul Christensen Juan Carlos Galdo Janet McCann Stephen Miller Head of Department, Steven Oberhelman August 2013 Major Subject: Hispanic Studies Copyright 2013 Mark David McGraw ABSTRACT First functioning as image based text and then as a widely illustrated book, the impact of the literary figure Don Quixote outgrew his textual limits to gain near- universal recognition as a cultural icon. Compared to the relatively small number of readers who have actually read both extensive volumes of Cervantes´ novel, an overwhelming percentage of people worldwide can identify an image of Don Quixote, especially if he is paired with his squire, Sancho Panza, and know something about the basic premise of the story. The problem that drives this paper is to determine how this Spanish 17th century literary character was able to gain near-univeral iconic recognizability. The methods used to research this phenomenon were to examine the character´s literary beginnings and iconization through translation and adaptation, film, textual and popular iconography, as well commercial, nationalist, revolutionary and institutional appropriations and determine what factors made him so useful for appropriation. The research concludes that the literary figure of Don Quixote has proven to be exceptionally receptive to readers´ appropriative requirements due to his paradoxical nature. The Quixote’s “cuerdo loco” or “wise fool” inherits paradoxy from Erasmus of Rotterdam’s In Praise of Folly.
Under the Influence of Cervantes: Trapiello's Al Morir Don Quijote

Under the Influence of Cervantes: Trapiello’s Al morir don Quijote Dr. Isidoro Arén Janeiro Independent Scholar Yor the last four hundred years, Cervantes’ masterpiece, Don Quixote (1605- 1615), has influenced literary creation, and it has conditioned the authors who dared to distinguish themselves from one of the monsters of literature. It has been argued that there is a before and an after the first publication of the Primera parte del Ingenioso Hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha (1605). In essence, giving it the status of being the first “original”: the first modern novel that set the tone for the process of narrative production in Spain. Afterwards, all writers owed Cervantes, and are obliged into a conscious effort to swerve from the “original,” so as to differentiate their work by taking their narrative one step away; thus, positioning their work next to the “original” as a unique creation on its own. The aim of this article is to study these aspects, and to present an overview of the influence upon Andrés Trapiello’s Al morir Don Quijote (2005) by its predecessor: Cervantes’ Don Quijote (1605-1615). It will also analyse the complexity of the Cervantes’ masterpiece and the relationship established between the Primera parte del Ingenioso Hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha (1605), the “original,” and the Segunda Parte del Ingenioso Caballero Don Quijote de la Mancha (1615). Additionally, it will present a study of Trapiello’s Al morir don Quijote, where the betrayal of Alonso Quijano is the central aspect that defines this novel. Finally, it will take into account Harold Bloom’s work The Anxiety of Influence: A Theory of Poetry, and it will analyse the intricate relationship between Trapiello and his text, as it is overshadowed by its predecessor.

This show was notable for acquainting the New York School with the medium as its artists would go on to embrace collage, creating objects that ranged from small compositions of handmade paper to mural-sized works of torn and reassembled canvas. Despite the significance of this development, art historians consistently overlook collage during the era of Abstract Expressionism. This project examines four artists who based significant portions of their oeuvre on papier collé during this period (i.e. the late 1940s and early 1950s): Lee Krasner, Robert Motherwell, Anne Ryan, and Esteban Vicente. Working primarily with fine art materials in an abstract manner, these artists challenged many of the characteristics that supposedly typified collage: its appropriative tactics, disjointed aesthetics, and abandonment of ―high‖ culture.
Fiction Excerpt 2: from the Adventures of Don Quixote

Fiction Excerpt 2: From The Adventures of Don Quixote (retold with excerpts from the novel by Miguel de Cervantes) Once upon a time, in a village in La Mancha, there lived a lean, thin-faced old gentleman whose favorite pastime was to read books about knights in armor. He loved to read about their daring exploits, strange adventures, bold rescues of damsels in distress, and intense devotion to their ladies. In fact, he became so caught up in the subject of chivalry that he neglected every other interest and even sold many acres of good farmland so that he might buy all the books he could get on the subject. He would lie awake at night, absorbed in every detail of these fantastic adventures. He would often engage in arguments with the village priest or the barber over who was the greatest knight of all time. Was it Amadis of Gaul or Palmerin of England? Or was it perhaps the Knight of the Sun? As time went on, the old gentleman crammed his head so full of these stories and lost so much sleep from reading through the night that he lost his wits completely. He began to believe that all the fantastic and romantic tales he read about enchantments, challenges, battles, wounds, and wooings were true histories. At last he fell into the strangest fancy that any madman has ever had: he resolved to become himself a knight errant, to travel through the world with horse and armor in search of adventures. First he got out some rust-eaten armor that had belonged to his ancestors, then cleaned and repaired it as best he could.
Masterpiece: Don Quixote, 1955 by Pablo Picasso

Masterpiece: Don Quixote, 1955 By Pablo Picasso Keywords: line, shape, pen & ink Grade: 5th Month: May Activity: The Mighty Pen (and Ink) Meet the Artist: Picasso was born in Spain in 1881. His father was an artist who taught at a local university and he encouraged Pablo at an early age to pursue his artistic talents. At the age of 11, Pablo and was sent to art. Picasso’s artworks changed significantly through his career and he created hundreds of paintings and sculptures. He married and had 4 children. When they were younger, he was a fantastically fun dad. He would draw on tablecloths, did magic tricks and would prepare birthday dinner celebrations made up entirely of chocolate. He became most well known for his Cubist paintings. Cubism emphasized line, shape and color. It was a modern art style that is not realistic in nature, but based geometric shapes. It started out with neutral colors, but eventually became a very colorful style. Picasso was very outspoken, opinionated and eccentric. He never threw anything out, hated the telephone, and refused to dust his studio. He loved keeping an odd assortment of pets, including goats, reptiles, a monkey and always some Afghan Hounds. He loved any publicity and made sure he was always reading something about himself. He was a prolific painter, and even in his 90th year, he painted 200 paintings. He was still working on the day he died, at 92, of heart failure. Don Quixote is a 1955 sketch by Pablo Picasso of the Spanish literary hero and his sidekick, Sancho Panza.

Christman Associate Professor of Philosophy and Political Science Nicolás Fernández-Medina Assistant Professor of Spanish Literature, Department of Spanish, Italian and Portuguese *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii ABSTRACT My dissertation explores the philosophical kinship between the existentialist thinkers Søren Kierkegaard (1813-1855) and Miguel de Unamuno (1864-1936) in an attempt to resurrect an ethically religious way of life. In Kierkegaard’s writings one can find a description of a passionately committed way of life that is distinguishable from both his conception of ethics and his version of Christianity. He calls this form of ethical religion or religious ethics “Religiousness A,” but he fails to give a vivid illustration of it that definitively distinguishes it from ethics and Christianity. As a result, the scholarship on Religiousness A is impoverished, and what would otherwise amount to a promising new way of being religious in a secular world has been largely regarded as unimportant or simply a watered-down version of Christianity.

Los nombres de los personajes de la novela de Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quijote de la Mancha DOMINIQUE REYRE* l propio Miguel de Cervantes nos brindó el tema del presente curso in- E vitándonos a investigar el significado de los nombres de personajes de su genial novela Don Quijote de la Mancha, al decir en la última frase de su pri- mer capítulo, a propósito de la dama del héroe: Don Quijote vino a llamarla Dulcinea del Toboso, porque era natu- ral del Toboso; nombre a su parecer, músico y peregrino, y significativo, como a todos los demás que a él y a sus cosas había puesto1. Esta frase nos autoriza a preguntarnos lo que Cervantes entendía por “sig- nificativo” y, una vez aclarado este concepto clave, nos convida a emprender el desciframiento de los nombres de sus personajes. Dicho concepto tan só- lo puede aprehenderse resituándolo en el marco general de la teoría del len- guaje que seguía vigente entre los hombres de principios del Seiscientos. De esta teoría nos da una idea Sebastián de Covarrubias, quien en el prólogo de su Tesoro de la lengua castellana (1611) afirmó que: El lenguaje no [era] adquirido ni inventado por ellos, sino infundido del Señor, y con tanta propiedad que los nombres que Adán puso a los animales terrestres y a las aves fueron los propios que les competían; por- * LEMSO, Universidad de Toulouse-Le Mirail. 1 Citamos por la edición de Diego Clemencín, El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de la Mancha, Edi- ción IV Centenario, Madrid, Ediciones Castilla, 1967.
