María Bobadilla Pérez Universidade da Coruña, España ORCID: https://orcid.org/ 0000-0002-4972-5980 Transpopular Spaces: Gypsy Imageries in the Work of Van Morrison Resumen La obra del autor norirlandés Van Morrison ha pasado relativamente desapercibida por la crítica a pesar de los numerosos elementos sociales, literarios y artísticos que presenta. Entre ellos se encuentra la representación de la figura del gitano como modelo de actuación para unas generaciones de oyentes a quienes les preocupaba el aspecto cultural a la contra, así como los modelos de vida alternativos a los legitimados por la clase media de la época. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar el componente romantizado que se presenta en la obra de Morrison alrededor de su representación del gitanismo, así como observar cómo esos elementos generan primero una función deontologizante y después una resignificación de los espacios en tránsito ocupados por la(s) imaginación(es) de esta comunidad como pueblo nómada. Para llevar a cabo el análisis se atenderá a varias canciones de la primera época del autor norirlandés, y se explicarán las funciones de representación del gitano en el entorno del espacio y de una epistemología contracultural. Palabras clave: Van Morrison; espacio; gitanos; contracultura; música Abstract The work of Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison has gone relatively unnoticed by critics despite the numerous social, literary and artistic elements included in his songs.

  • Uncle Tom's Cabin
    Revised Pages Excerpted from Tracy C. Davis and Stefka Mihaylova, eds., Journal of Transnational American Studies 11.2 (2020) Uncle Tom’s Cabins: A Transnational History of America’s Most Mutable Book (Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, 2018). Copyright 2018 by Tracy C. Davis and Stefka Mihaylova. Reprinted with permission from University of Michigan Press. Kahlil Chaar- Pérez The Bonds of Translation: A Cuban Encounter with Uncle Tom’s Cabin Trough numerous translations, adaptations, and performances, mid- nineteenth- century sentimental communities across the world embraced Harriet Beecher Stowe’s plea in Uncle Tom’s Cabin to “feel right” in op- posing chattel slavery as “a system which confounds and confuses every principle of Christianity and morality” (452– 53). Although the British and French governments had already abolished it, slavery was still rampant in the United States, Brazil, and the Spanish colonies of Cuba and Puerto Rico during the 1850s, while serfdom subsisted in Russia. Moved by the novel’s afecting depiction of the horrors of enslavement, a transatlantic public coalesced around the universalist moral values through which Stowe ex- pressed her call for abolition: “See, then, to your sympathies in this mat- ter! Are they in harmony with the sympathies of Christ? or [sic] are they swayed and perverted by the sophistries of world policy?” (452). In the Protestant brand of sentimentalism found throughout Uncle Tom’s Cabin, the experience of sympathizing with the enslaved other is circumscribed within a pre- ideological order of feelings. In the pursuit of a “right” feeling determined by the universal spirit of “Christianity,” the ideal sympathetic subject is able to transcend the artifcial divisions fostered by the politi- cal sphere (“world policy”).

The repressed unused natures then tend to return as Images of the Golden Age, or Paradise, or as theories of the Happy Primitive. We can see how great poets, like Homer and Shakespeare, devoted themselves to glorifying the virtues of the previous era, as if it were their chief function to keep people from forgetting what it used to be to be a man.

  • FRANCES (Fannie/Fanny) SOULÉ
    351 After the earthquake in April of 1906 she recreated her studio in Berkeley on Bancroft Way where she briefly shared her space with the “wood carver” Miss Mildred Holden.15 Two of Campbell’s first commissions were to design cover illustrations for The Courier, a weekly magazine in Berkeley, and art work for another journal, Western Tours.16 She was briefly a “staff artist” at the Overland Monthly which later published a very flattering biography of the artist with fine reproductions of her celebrity portraits.17 Of all of Berkeley’s female artists in this period she was by far the most socially dynamic and popular. Campbell was the first to publicize her studio with large conspicuous advertisements.18 She participated in major exhibitions throughout the East Bay, including the Fifth Annual of the Oakland Art Fund at the Starr King Fraternity in 1905.19 Her only portrait miniature to survive the destruction of her San Francisco studio, a “splendid” study of Elsa von Monderscheid, was given a place of honor at Berkeley’s 1906 Studio Building Exhibition.20 In 1906 Campbell contributed to the Inaugural Exhibition of the Carmel Arts and Crafts Club and to the California State Fair.21 At the State Fair in 1908 she won separate medals for the best sketch and the best painted miniature on ivory.22 Several of her miniatures attracted favorable attention at the San Francisco Arts & Crafts Association.23 In 1907 her portraits in miniature were selected for display at San Francisco’s Sketch Club and at the opening of the Del Monte Art Gallery.24 That year she also displayed miniatures at the Alameda County Exposition in Oakland’s Idora Park.25 According to Hanna Larsen of the San Francisco Call, the young Berkeley artist was expanding her artistic horizons, no doubt due to the impact of photography on the demand for miniatures:26 Miss Frances Soule Campbell has branched off into illustrative work and has been very successful.

  • Rachel Carson
    FIRST PUBLISHED 1951 THE SEA AROUND US tells the strange and exciting story of the seas, how they came into being, and how Earth's life emerged from them. Miss Carson writes of the teeming life of the upper levels, of the icy, black, primeval depths, of the immense forces which find their expression in tides and currents, of towering mountains and desolate canyons. She describes the pulsings of spring when salmon migrate and jelly fish spawn, of the mysterious creatures that have so far evaded all man's efforts to catch them. Rachel Carson was a scientist by vocation who happened to possess the poetic, imaginative temperament of a truly great writer “The sense of force and movement in her prose is one of Miss Carson's best qualities . perfectly suited to her subject, to the restless, always moving waters, swarming with life, full of beauty and horror” Jacquetta Hawkes Over two-thirds of the Earth’s surface is covered by the sea. In this unique and fascinating book, Rachel Carson does nothing less than present a history of the sea from the earliest times and draw a panoramic picture in magnificent prose of the fantastic marine world which hides beneath its enigmatic surface. Miss Carson traces the beginnings of the sea in the Chaos of the World’s birth pangs and shows how the Earth’s first crude forms of life emerged from its saline womb. She describes the swarming life of the upper levels, the icy black primeval depths fissured with unimaginably deep canyons and ridged with immense mountain ranges, and the titanic forces of tides and currents.
