Un nuevo camino hacia las humanidades digitales: El laboratorio de innovación en humanidades digitales de la uned (linhd)

Digital humanities are experiencing a growing interest in Spain, with important results especially in the last five years. This paper makes a brief analysis of the current situation to present LINHD, the Digital Innovation Lab at UNED, a pioneer Digital Humanities center in Spanish language, which is structured on four pillars: research, training, dissemination and technological services. In this work, we gather the activities carried out since its foundation and the possibilities that are opening in a near future for this research field in the Spanish-speaking world.

De los technopaegnia carolingios a la clerecía rabínica medieval. Nuevos horizontes en la literatura medieval a la luz de la poesía comparada

The concept of «mester de clerecia» is exposed here as a broad phenomenon whose origins are in Medieval non-quantitative latin poetry, in which, after the lost of the vowels quantity, the number of syllables is determining. This work will analyze two texts from a comparative point of view: a latin poem composed in tetrastichs of pentadecasyllables during the carolingian period, attributed to Paulin of aquilea, which reflects the initial status of medieval narrative poetry «a silabas contadas»; and a castilian poem composed in the 13th century in «cuaderna via» written by a Jewish author: the Coplas de Yosef. Both have a common source: the story of Joseph narrated in the book of Genesis. However, the literary procedures used by both authors, as well as the final results are very different. The contrastive analysis of the two texts make us determine the ideology present in each of them and also make us pose key questions related to the concept of «mester de clerecia», its definition, limits and evolution.
