REVISTA QUIMERA ESPECIAL SANTAYANA


REVISTA QUIMERA nº 435 (marzo 2020)

NÚMERO ESPECIAL DEDICADO A SANTAYANA

Hay autores a los que citamos sin conocerlos; por ejemplo, cuando decimos «aquellos que no recuerdan el pasado están condenados a repetirlo» no sabemos que esa cita es de La vida de la razón, de George Santayana (Madrid, 1863 – Roma, 1952). Poco sabe el lector español de este filósofo, novelista y profesor de Harvard que fue portada de la revista Time y nominado al premio Pulitzer (que no pudo ganar por conservar la nacionalidad española, aunque escribió su obra en inglés). Considerado junto con Ralph Waldo Emerson uno de los mejores estilistas de la tradición clásica estadounidense, su obra filosófica se enmarca entre el pragmatismo y el naturalismo, y su obra literaria pone en relación la literatura con el pensamiento, la religión y el arte. En Quimera hemos tratado de paliar el injusto olvido de su eminente figura con un dossier coordinado por Andreu Navarra (UOC) y Joan Cuscó (UB) que muestra algunas perspectivas de su ingente obra.

Angus Kerr-Lawson Prize

Dear members and friends of The George Santayana Society,


The George Santayana Society offers the Angus Kerr-Lawson Prize in tribute to the late Professor Kerr-Lawson's outstanding contributions to Santayana scholarship both as longtime editor of Overheard in Seville: The Bulletin of the George Santayana Society and as the author of many articles that appeared in the Bulletin and in other publications. Kerr-Lawson was a co-founder of the George Santayana Society.

There have been three winners of the Angus Kerr-Lawson Prize since its inauguration: Diana Heney, Veronica Mueller, and Brita Stoneman.  We have also decided to increase the amount of the award for next year from $300 to $400. We encourage all recent graduates and graduate students to submit an essay. We have also moved the deadline from May 21 to May 4.

The prize is available to a scholar not more than five years out of graduate school for an essay engaging or rooted in the thought of George Santayana. Authors may address any aspect of Santayana's life and thought. We welcome essays that relate his thinking to other figures in the American tradition and beyond and to contemporary social, cultural, and philosophic concerns. Relevant themes include materialism and naturalism, realism and Platonism, metaphysics and morals, and issues connected to American culture and intellectual history. The winner will receive $400 and be invited to present the winning paper at the Society's annual Eastern APA meeting in early January. The winning essay will be published, following the usual editorial review, in the edition of Overheard in Seville that follows that meeting. This coming year the winner will be notified in September 2020. Authors should prepare their submission for blind review (no exposing references to the author within the composition) and send it electronically in Word, ODT, or PDF format to:bulletin@georgesantayanasociety.org. The subject line of the email should read: "Kerr- Lawson Prize Submission, [author's name]". The deadline for submissions is May 4, 2020.
