Las nuevas tendencias en el teatro español a finales del siglo XX

New Trends of Spanish Theater at End of Twentieth Century The current research starts with explaining importance of topic being addressed, as well as a discussion of problems that will result from handling this topic while studying and analyzing new trends of Spanish theatre in twentieth century. Thus, present research illustrates aim of this study at beginning. Then, it attempts to explore of scientific approach of induction or projection on new trends. Hence, research clarifies features of new trends. However, this study focuses mainly on a new presentation of this topic that deals with a systematic sequential analysis of new trends of contemporary Spanish theatre in recent times. In order to achieve aim of this study, it was necessary to apply a methodological criterion which differs from traditional descriptive methods and it is built on visions consistent with the theory of social mediation and motives for authorship. In this context, it was also essential to address two problems inherent in issue of trends: The first problem lies in classification of trends while second one is related to assigning selected works chosen for this study. Though at end, we find that we have developed a brief model that combines between two main topics namely; periods of time and theatrical movements as follows: The first topic analyzed tends of theatre in post-war period or final years of Franco's rule, where innovative and invisible, opposing or reactionary, real or imaginative theatrical patterns appeared that paved way for emergence of new theatrical trends or modern dramatic techniques in last third of twentieth century. The second topic highlighted theatrical trends that developed experimental theatrical work by using modern realistic themes that attracted attention of Spanish society beginning in eighties and early nineties where a positive shift took place towards search for new theatrical patterns that led to emergence of period of the post-transitional stage in Spain- new theatrical trends that are called postmodernism or so-called post-merging text with theatrical performance, which were characterized in their entirety by pluralism. These works were presented by incorporating new modern methods such as audiovisual methods that did not stop their constant search for providing theatre with new theatrical alternatives, whether they are themes or other alternatives, which in turn contributed to facing new challenges that faced and are still facing Spanish society. The present study resulted in several conclusions that are not only limited to results that were reached through applying mechanisms of analysis to new trends according to plan of study that outlined two main issues, but study also provided some recommendations for further studies that will be conducted on same topic in future. Finally, study illustrated specialized sources and references that are related to subject of study.

CULTURAL RESILIENCE THEORY AS AN INSTRUMENT OF MODELING HUMAN RESPONSE TO GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE. A CASE STUDY IN THE NORTH-WESTERN BLACK SEA REGION ON THE PLEISTOCENE-HOLOCENE BOUNDARY.

Resilience theory was first introduced in natural sciences during the last third of twentieth century and soon gains transdiciplinary significance having demonstrated its high cognitive potential in frames of ecology, psychology, cultural studies and many other neighboring sciences dealing with studies of human response do the external challenge. Concept of cultural resilience was introduces for studies of past human response to the global climate change only during the last decade and, in spite of relatively restricted number of case studies for its verification allows to highlight many important aspect of human behavior which traditionally were underestimated in frames of other theories (as theory of adaptation, environmental stress and others). Subject of current contribution is to demonstrate of cultural resilience concept application in the context of studies of human response to the global climate change in the Northwestern Black Sea region on the Pleistocene-Holocene boundary.

El mito del zombi en la actualidad: desmembramiento sacrificial colectivo

For several decades the zombie myth maintained the same symbolic structure as literature and cinematography regarding the perverse use of animal magnetism and hypnosis, the genealogy from which it descends. In the last third of twentieth century the myth underwent a profound transformation, which nevertheless represented a continuation of its previous unconscious meaning. The analysis of the new archetypal elements that it included, closely related to a nuclear aspect of the spirit of twentieth century art, enables us to develop an interpretive approach to a mythical framework and its underlying psychological process currently running through the collective psyche: respectively, the initiation death and the solvent and disintegrative dynamic of the soul. It will be based in the analytical psychology theoretical framework and we will use the historical-comparative method.
