Blood In The Water: Salvadoran Rivers Of Testimony And Resistance, Adrian Taylor Kane

World Languages Faculty Publications and Presentations

From the 1970s to the early 1990s the dominant forms of literary production in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Nicaragua were testimonial literature and literature of resistance. During this time period, all three of these Central American countries were embroiled in bloody civil wars, and the written word was employed on the cultural front as a means of denouncing and resisting various forms of oppression. For both historical and artistic reasons, rivers frequently play an important role in cultural production from and about this era and have thus become embedded in the complex web of ideological signifiers that comprises the discursive ...

La Representación De La “Chola” Limeña En La Narrativa (¿Light?) De Jaime Bayly, Francisca Aguiló Mora

Entrehojas: Revista de Estudios Hispánicos

En este ensayo se analizará la representación de las identidades femeninas andinas en la narrativa de Jaime Bayly y se argumentará que dicha representación sigue relegada a posiciones inferiores e inferiorizadas, además de estereotipadas. En el ámbito doméstico, son las empleadas del hogar; en la calle, las prostitutas; y en la sierra, siguen siendo las salvajes, sucias, borrachas e inmorales. Se cuestionará la justicia que esta representación hace de la mujer andina y se recalcará la importancia y trascendencia que conlleva el hecho de que esta imagen sea ofrecida en obras literarias de carácter “popular” e internacional como las de ...

Espacios Geográficos E Ideológicos En La Novela Cubana De La Postrevolución: La Zona Intermedia De Prisionero Del Agua De Alexis Díaz Pimienta, Lizandro Arbolay Alfonso

Entrehojas: Revista de Estudios Hispánicos

Partiendo de un breve repaso espacial de la producción novelística cubana posterior a 1959, este ensayo analiza el tratamiento dicotómico de las grandes urbes como marcos de creación y recreación literaria enfatizando las representaciones de La Habana y Miami como ciudades-símbolos, y el auge de una corriente novelística intermedia tipificada en la novela Prisionero del agua de Alexis Díaz Pimienta.

After reviewing the treatment of space in the Cuban novels written after 1959, this paper examines the dichotomous representation of two cities, Havana and Miami, as ideological symbols and the rise of a transitional novelistic movement with Prisionero del agua ...

Ams Radiocarbon Dates From Prehispanic Fortifications In The Huaura Valley, Central Coast Of Peru, Margaret Brown Vega, Nathan Craig, Brendan Culleton, Douglas Kennett, Gerbert Asencios Lindo

Margaret Brown Vega

In this paper, we report 11 AMS radiocarbon dates from 8 Prehispanic fortifications located in the Huaura Valley, central coast of Perú. Small fragments of organic material embedded in preserved mud mortar in architecture, and samples from construction layers exposed by looter’s holes were used to date architectural features without undertaking extensive excavations. These dates contribute toward refining the chronology of fort building in the valley, and provide a test for assumptions about temporal change and architectural style. The results indicate that fortifications date to at least 3 periods. These data provide a starting point for exploring the occurrence ...

This study assesses the origins of Arizona’s state-sponsored immigration policy. It attempts to identify the social dynamics within Arizona that contributed to the overwhelming public support for SB 1070. Since it has been two years after the law was passed, this analysis determines what impact the law has had thus far within the state. Finally, it postulates the future of Arizona’s immigration policy.
