Abstract

The article presents the text of the papal bull "Inter caetera" of May 4, 1493, which defined the line of demarcation of future Spanish and Portuguese explorations. The message is authored by a bishop of the Catholic Church, addressed to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain. The document emphasizes that the exploration of uncharted territory is a means by which the spread of Catholicism might be accomplished. Acknowledgments of the contributions of New World explorer Christopher Columbus are included. Guidelines are provided for determining the authority and jurisdiction over newly discovered lands. A rule is given against entering newly discovered territories for the purpose of trade without a permit. The author asserts that the Catholic Church maintains authority in the conduct of existing and future exploration of undiscovered territories.

Abstract

Este es un ensayo cuya lectura sólo es posible con la sonrisa en los labios y la inteligencia despierta. La propuesta es, además, sencilla y propicia al entusiasmo: acompañar al autor en un trayecto único, el de la memoria vinculada al humor que se encuentra en la ficción, en el cine, la literatura, el teatro o la televisión. En este recorrido, la experiencia intelectual y personal de Juan Antonio Ríos nos lleva a reflexionar sobre la naturaleza del humor y sus relaciones con el mundo y el modo como condiciona nuestra mirada sobre la realidad. Un viaje, en definitiva, al centro de la sonrisa. Juan Antonio Ríos es catedrático de Literatura Española en la Universidad de Alicante y especialista en teatro y cine, temas sobre los que ha publicado diversas obras.

Abstract

Die Didaktik hat bis heute ein schwieriges Verhältnis zu Humor und Komik. Das Buch legt historisch dar, wie Schüler*innen einerseits immer vermittelt werden sollte, bestimmte Weisen zu urteilen und handeln "ernst zu nehmen", womit andererseits aber auch immer die Ausgrenzung anderer Formen von Subjektivität als "unernst" einherging. Während die Didaktik des Deutschunterrichts ein Interesse an der Kultivierung bestimmter Formen des Humors hatte, wurden andere Formen als zynisch oder frech verworfen. In der Untersuchung wird rekonstruiert, auf welchen Grundlagen solche Grenzziehungen vorgenommen wurden. Dabei werden die Umrisse einer Ideen- und Programmgeschichte des Deutschunterrichts sichtbar, die mit systematischen Überlegungen zur Didaktik des Komischen verbunden wird.
