Language, Literature and Valencian Culture from Golden Age to Renaissance - LLICVALSOR

Reference of the Group:

GIUV2013-062

 
Description of research activity:
The research group is basically articulated around the three axes that appear in the name and which are, from our point of view, inseparable: language, literature - in a broad sense - and the culture that derives from these first two terms. On the other hand, we have a clear territorial objective, which is the Valencian geography, from the medieval centuries to the Renaissance, insofar as the whole period forms a continuum that is sometimes difficult to section, given the relationships established between works, authors, linguistic or aesthetic options, etc. For years, the members of the group have been dedicated to the edition and study of Valencian and Catalan texts in general, especially those written in the country's own language, but also some in Spanish or Latin. On the other hand, we have also prepared different editions of non-literary -documentary- texts, whenever they are of historical-cultural or linguistic interest. Furthermore, our interest in language has led us to study different aspects of Catalan, especially in Valencia: lexicon, toponymy or more general linguistic studies, which are normally based on unpublished documentation, which is often edited.

On the other hand, we have also prepared different editions of non-literary -documentary- texts, whenever they are of historical-cultural or linguistic interest. Furthermore, our interest in language has led us to study different aspects of Catalan, especially in Valencia: lexicon, toponymy or more general linguistic studies, which are normally based on unpublished documentation, which is often edited. In this sense, we can clearly point out that many of the texts published by the Universitat de València are linked to our work as professionals in this discipline. As far as the study of literature is concerned, we have made many contributions, both in specific cases referring to specific works, and also, on other occasions, by tracing the biography and ideology of the authors we are dealing with. One challenge we have not yet achieved is the elaboration of a manual on the history of literature in Valencia during the 16th-19th centuries, which, however, we have set as one of our long-term objectives, given that we still lack many specific studies to be able to produce this work which, in due course, will be a compulsory reference. As for historical and cultural studies, the same work on texts and authors leads us to the need to know the cultural contexts that have been generated in each period, so that many of our editions are also studies of the spheres in which the works studied appeared or circulated. Finally, there are many specific contributions from members of the group, based on specific aspects of works, authors, movements, linguistic or any other type of particularity, which we frequently carry forward. The group's research activity is based, therefore, on access to archival sources or historical libraries, with which we work with first-hand documentation, taking into account, however, the bibliography generated previously, whether it is old or more recent in all cases. In this sense, our research work is directly included in what we could call humanistic research, bearing in mind that new technologies have led us to be in contact with and use the resources that are sometimes found on the net. A symptom of this has been the recent creation - by many of the members of this group - of the journal "Scripta", which is hosted by the OJS of the Universitat de València and which, in the long run, is destined to become a showcase for part of our research activity and to host research along similar lines, thus stimulating the exchange and dissemination of knowledge. Even more so, if we consider the high degree of internationality of the work of many of the members of our group, who are in contact with universities in Europe and America.
