'Civilizar' Africa: La herencia de Livingstone en A Burnt-Out Case, de Graham Greene y El sueño del celta, de Mario Vargas Llosa
(2015) Beatriz Valverde
En este artículo usamos el concepto de „semiosfera‟ desarrollado por el estudioso ruso-estonio Juri Lotman para examinar las relaciones entre las comunidades nativas y las europeas en el Congo belga creadas por Graham Greene en A Burnt-Out Case y por Mario Vargas Llosa en El sueño del celta. Con este análisis tratamos de probar que aunque ambos autores denuncian con sus obras las terribles consecuencias de la colonización europea para los africanos, las comunidades nativas son descritas desde un punto de vista occidental y paternalista.
Dos travesías, dos formas de relatar la vuelta al mundo: Antonio Pigafetta, Richard Hakluyt y The World Encompassed
(2019) Iñaki Cachón; Beatriz Valverde
Introducción. El propósito de este trabajo es analizar los mecanismos argumentativos y apelativos de los tres textos principales que narran las primeras cicunnavegaciones al mundo. Por un lado, la española de Magallanes-Elcano (1519-1521), descrita por Antonio Pigafetta en la Relación del primer viaje alrededor del mundo y, por otro, la inglesa de Francis Drake (1577-1580), descrita en “The Famous Voyage of Sir Francis Drake” y The World Encompassed by Sir Francis Drake. Metodología y resultados. El análisis comparativo de los textos anteriores revela que en pleno siglo de los descubrimientos ambos países buscaron similares formas discursivas a la hora de dar cuenta a la Corona y comunicar al mundo los nuevos lugares descubiertos.

(Intellect, 2017) Francisco Cuadrado; Isabel López Cobo; Beatriz Valverde; David Varona
Abstract Musicalizatech was a project that promoted music creation and production among students of Secondary and High Schools, fostering at the same time creativity, the use of technology, and collaborative and informal learning. A total of 46 participants from Secondary Education and High Schools in Seville and Cordoba, grouped in fifteen pre-formed bands, joined the project. This study used mixed methods; the main instruments were individual questionnaires and a focus group. The study also included the analysis of the different versions of the songs and their evolution, the participants’ individual contributions to an online private diary and their interactions within a customized designed online platform. Results showed a clear impact on participants in different areas: development of social and emotional skills, ability to problem solving and work in teams, development of technological skills and clear improvements in the process of musical creation.
Ways of Witnessing: Journalism vs. Fiction in The Quiet American and El pintor de batallas
(De Gruyter, 2018) Beatriz Valverde; Juan Francisco Sánchez
Abstract Since the profession of war correspondent came into existence in the middle of the nineteenth century, war reporters have attracted the attention of novelists. The literary representation of journalism in war times is a fundamental tool when analyzing the evolution of this profession, since, as Barbara Korte has argued (2007: 432), it provides an opportunity to illustrate the problems when reporting conflicts and the consequences such reporting has on journalists. Graham Greene in The Quiet American and Arturo Pérez-Reverte in El pintor de batallas ( The Painter of Battles ) dramatize the practice of journalism when reporting wars in different eras of the profession in the last century, namely the Indochina war (in the early fifties) and the Balkans conflict (in the early nineties) respectively. Both authors, after being war correspondents, resort to fiction to reflect on the implications of experiencing and narrating wars. Through the experience of the protagonists of their novels, Fowler in The Quiet American and Faulques in El pintor de batallas , Greene and Reverte question the principles of objectivity in journalism. In their literary work, they critique the practice of this profession based on neutrality and non-involvement, revealing the contradictions inherent in the claims of objectivism in reportage.
