  • LOS DUENDES EN LA LITERATURA ESPAÑOLA Manuel
    REVISTA GAROZA Nº 10. SEPTIEMBRE 2010. ISSN: 1577-8932 LOS DUENDES EN LA LITERATURA ESPAÑOLA Manuel COUSILLAS RODRÍGUEZ I.E.S. Salvador de Madariaga. A Coruña RESUMEN Como seres mitológicos elementales de la naturaleza, guardianes de los bosques y de todos los seres vivos que habitan en ellos, los duendes forman parte de la raza elemental feérica, y junto con elfos, trols y hadas, son los seres más populares de las mitologías celta y nórdica. Según la mitología celta, el rey de los duendes y elfos responde al nombre de Oberón, mencionado en obras como Macbeth o Sueño de una noche de San Juan de William Shakespeare. Posteriormente, estas leyendas son igualmente mencionadas en el Fausto de Goethe, donde un coro de silfos invocado por Mefistófeles trata de seducir al doctor Fausto, o en cuentos tradicionales infantiles como los escritos por los hermanos Grimm, donde la figura del duende suele asociarse a pequeños seres bonachones. Herederos de esa tradición literaria son muchos de los cuentos contemporáneos del peninsular español. Palabras clave: duende, céltica, península ibérica, literatura comparada. ABSTRACT As a basic mythological element in our nature, guardians of forests and all living things that inhabit them, fairies are part of the elemental fairy race, and along with elves, and trolls, are the most popular creatures in Celtic and Norse mythologies. According to Celtic mythology, the king of fairies and elves is named Oberon, mentioned in works such as Macbeth or Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare. These legends are also mentioned in Goethe's 61 MANUEL COUSILLAS RODRÍGUEZ REVISTA GAROZA Nº 10.

  • Philippine Folklore: Engkanto Beliefs
    PHILIPPINE FOLKLORE: ENGKANTO BELIEFS HISTORICAL BACKGROUND: Philippine mythology is derived from Philippine folk literature, which is the traditional oral literature of the Filipino people. This refers to a wide range of material due to the ethnic mix of the Philippines. Each unique ethnic group has its own stories and myths to tell. While the oral and thus changeable aspect of folk literature is an important defining characteristic, much of this oral tradition had been written into a print format. University of the Philippines professor, Damiana Eugenio, classified Philippines Folk Literature into three major groups: folk narratives, folk speech, and folk songs. Folk narratives can either be in prose: the myth, the alamat (legend), and the kuwentong bayan (folktale), or in verse, as in the case of the folk epic. Folk speech includes the bugtong (riddle) and the salawikain (proverbs). Folk songs that can be sub-classified into those that tell a story (folk ballads) are a relative rarity in Philippine folk literature.1[1] Before the coming of Christianity, the people of these lands had some kind of religion. For no people however primitive is ever devoid of religion. This religion might have been animism. Like any other religion, this one was a complex of religious phenomena. It consisted of myths, legends, rituals and sacrifices, beliefs in the high gods as well as low; noble concepts and practices as well as degenerate ones; worship and adoration as well as magic and control. But these religious phenomena supplied the early peoples of this land what religion has always meant to supply: satisfaction of their existential needs.

  • Echoes of the Gothic in Early Twentieth- Century Spanish Music
    Echoes of the Gothic in Early Twentieth- Century Spanish Music Jennifer Lillian Hanna ORCID: 0000-0002-2788-9888 Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the Master of Music (Musicology/Ethnomusicology) November 2020 Melbourne Conservatorium of Music Faculty of Fine Arts and Music University of Melbourne ii Abstract This thesis explores traces of the Gothic in music and related artforms concerning Spain in the early twentieth century, drawing together a number of case studies with varied proximity to Manuel de Falla and his artistic milieu. A range of Gothic perspectives are applied to a series of musical works, repertories, constructions of race, modes of performance and stage personae, and this examination is preceded by an overview of Gothic elements in their nineteenth-century precursors. The connection between Granada’s Alhambra and the Gothic is based not only on architectural style, but also nocturnal and supernatural themes that can be traced back to the writings of Washington Irving. The idea of Alhambrism and Romantic impressions of the Spanish Gypsy, both of which are associated with the magical, primitive, mystic and nocturnal elements of the Gothic, are also related to constructions of flamenco and cante jondo. The Romantic idea of the Spanish gypsy evolved into primitivism, and attitudes that considered their culture archaic can be placed in a Gothic frame. Flamenco and the notion of duende can also be placed in this frame, and this idea is explored through the poetry and writings of Federico García Lorca and in his interaction with Falla in conceiving the Cante jondo competition of 1922.

  • Spring 2020 ISSN: 2472-0860 Searching for El Duende
    PARtake: The Journal of Performance as Research Volume 3, Issue 1 – Spring 2020 ISSN: 2472-0860 Searching for El Duende: An Auto-ethnography of the Phenomenon of Flowing in-and-within Dance Sarahi Lay Trigo, PhD—University of California, Santa Cruz Postdoctoral fellow of the National Council on Science and Technology (CONACYT-México) 228822 Opening. The Power of Auto-Ethnography in the Dance Field “Can I be my own informant?” is an interrogation that resounds deeply in subjects who work with self-ethnography in an academic field. Such is the case of this work, in which I reflect on the phenomenon of Flamenco Art1, el duende (the pixie), using as data my own experience as a dancer (what can also be called performative autoethnography as highlighted by Allison Upshaw).2 Being both an ethnographic observer (passive-self) and an informant actor (active-self) is not an easy task, since the boundaries between these two activities can become blurry and deceptive. Stacy Holman Jones says that “auto- ethnography is not simply a way of knowing about the world; it has become a way of being in the world, one that requires living consciously, emotionally, and reflexively.”3 Hence, I seek to keep an attitude of self-awareness throughout this reflection. I exercise a self- reflexivity act (epistemological surveillance)4 that helps me to maintain a balance between what is necessary to tell and what is not, avoiding the temptation of developing a narcissistic, or a self-indulgence5 voice. In being a self-informant, it is important to be aware of my personal positionality— where I am socially situated.

  • Brownies and Bogles
    Brownies and Bogles By Louise Imogen Guiney BROWNIES AND BOGLES. CHAPTER I. WHAT FAIRIES WERE AND WHAT THEY DID. A FAIRY is a humorous person sadly out of fashion at present, who has had, nevertheless, in the actors' phrase, a long and prosperous run on this planet. When we speak of fairies nowadays, we think only of small sprites who live in a kingdom of their own, with manners, laws, and privileges very different from ours. But there was a time when "fairy" suggested also the knights and ladies of romance, about whom fine spirited tales were told when the world was younger. Spenser's Faery Queen, for instance, deals with dream-people, beautiful and brave, as do the old stories of Arthur and Roland; people who either never lived, or who, having lived, were glorified and magnified by tradition out of all kinship with common men. Our fairies are fairies in the modern sense. We will make it a rule, from the beginning, that they must be small, and we will put out any who are above the regulation height. Such as the charming famous Melusina, who wails upon her tower at the death of a Lusignan, we may as well skip; for she is a tall young lady, with a serpent's tail, to boot, and thus, alas! half-monster; for if we should accept any like her in our plan, there is no reason why we should not get confused among mermaids and dryads, and perhaps end by scoring down great Juno herself as a fairy! Many a dwarf and goblin, whom we shall meet anon, is as big as a child.
