En esta obra magna, desplegó toda la potencia de la buena filología para recuperar lo que cantaba el pueblo en los siglos XV-XVII, desde cantos de amor a canciones de trabajo. Casi 3000 canciones populares antes prácticamente invisibles. Toda una tradición lírica

Un impulso similar gobernaba esta otra obra fundamental. Margit no descubrió las jarchas pero fue de las primeras en escribir sobre ellas. Su tesis sería consistente con el resto de su trayectoria: el origen de la lírica románica no está en los trovadores sino en el canto popular de mujeres amantes

El viernes pasado falleció a sus 100 años Margit Frenk, maestra absoluta de literatura del Siglo de Oro y de cultura popular. No sé por dónde empezar, pero quiero hablar de ella. Pocas obras de investigación humanística tienen la trascendencia de su legado

I miss translating literature so much. last week I read a chapter from henry berlin’s “alone together” for @albertlloret.bsky.social’s class and couldn’t resist trying to translate the ausiàs march excerpts into portuguese.
here’s one example (lines 9-12) from poem XIII.

flipped classrooms & the unquestioned shift toward “student-led learning” were also part of the deprofessionalization->adjunctification->mechanization program whose ultimate goal was a fully administrative university
The over-reliance on standardization as the mechanism for writing instruction really was a pretty unbeatable context to produce de-professionalized teachers okay with using AI to grade
