The allegory of the Wheel of Fortune is a recurring theme in medieval thought, particularly in Philosophy and Literature. This topic, Roman, but inherited above all from Consolation of Philosophy, by Boethius (c.477-524), influenced the Poetry of Ausiàs March (c.1397-1459), a poet who lived in the period of expansion of the Crown of Aragon during the reign of Alfonso the Magnanimous (1396-1458). Our aim is to analyze this image in his Dictats and how the poet dealt in his work with the topic of the instability of the Wheel of Fortune.
154
Analysis of the medieval apocalyptic tradition regarding the figure of the Antichrist, with a study of Ramon Llull’s philosophical arguments to face him. Structured in three Distinctions, The Book against the Antichrist (1276), by the Catalan philosopher, aims to prepare religious people to lead a holy life and rationally combat the fallacies of the Antichrist.
153
The objective of the work is to analyse the concepts of Will and Power according to Ramon Llull (1232-1316) in the Book of Contemplation in God, Chapter 47, in its XI Distinction, as well as to understand the author’s proposal for practical application of such principles in the Christian life.

Very brief consideration about the female condition in the Middle Ages, with some examples of women who stood out in their activities (political, religious, etc.) such as Radegund (c.520-587), Dhuoda (c.803-843), Agnes of Burgundy (†1068), and several others, from Rictrude (c.614-688) to Christine de Pisan (1364-1430).

The Allegory (ἀλληγορία) was a literary, philosophical and aesthetic resource widely used by Western cultural tradition. It enriched the mental and artistic universe to the point of becoming a poetic topos (τόπος). Artistic. The objective of this work is to discuss the importance of allegory for Literature and Art. From the Ancient World to the Baroque.
146
Analysis of the macabre themes exposed in the famous painting The Triumph of Death (c.1562), by Bruegel the Elder (c.1525-1569). My interpretive proposal is to appreciate the images from the musical suggestions that the artist represents, and that the density of the drama of existence in the face of death can be understood more profoundly with the confrontation of the painting’s images with the musicality of the instruments and the sound of scenes.
145
Genre painting, a tradition in History of Art, was very developed by Bruegel the Elder. His scenes of daily peasant life profoundly marked the image of pre-industrial Europe. The purpose of this work is to analyze his image of the peasant: his life, parties, his dances, the remarkable moments of his life.
144
As the Middle Ages acquired new delicate body expressions in Art with Gothic, the artists felt more at ease to experience new gestures of the human body. For that, Christ continued to be the aesthetic reference. The theme of the Descent from the Cross served as the basis for this bodily experimentalism. Our proposal is to ascertain the different nuances of these new expressions between 14th and 15th centuries.

Since Plato, and later, in the Middle Ages, San Isidore of Seville, Guido of Arezzo and Ramon Llull, all had thinkers who did meditations on the importance of the aesthetics of harmonic sounds for human existence.
