“The Dampness Of Her Mother’S Womb, The Only Place To Be:” Ó Cómo Recuperar El Habla Después De La Tragedia. Rasgado, De Lila Zemborain, Mariela Méndez 2010 University of Richmond

“The Dampness Of Her Mother’S Womb, The Only Place To Be:” Ó Cómo Recuperar El Habla Después De La Tragedia. Rasgado, De Lila Zemborain, Mariela Méndez

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications

Como sugiere Gregory Orr en su libro Poetry as Survival, existe una larga tradición lírica en poesía que da testimonio del poder transformador y hasta “terapéutico” del género en momentos de extrema angustia, dolor, y desesperación causados por alguna tragedia o catástrofe. Orr habla, entre otras cosas, de la necesidad de revivir la tragedia en el lenguaje del poema, re-creándola en otros términos que permitan así la distancia física, espacial, emocional, y abran el camino hacia la superación del trauma (101). Rasgado (2006), de Lila Zemborain, es un libro que bien podría agregarse a la larga lista de poemas …


De Sedentários E Nómadas: A Representação Do Outro Na Moderna Literatura De Viagens Portuguesa / Of Sedentaries And Nomads: The Representation Of The Other In Modern Portuguese Travel Narratives, Francisco Cota Fagundes 2010 University of Massachusetts - Amherst

De Sedentários E Nómadas: A Representação Do Outro Na Moderna Literatura De Viagens Portuguesa / Of Sedentaries And Nomads: The Representation Of The Other In Modern Portuguese Travel Narratives, Francisco Cota Fagundes

Francisco Cota Fagundes

Este ensaio foca a representação dos Estados Unidos da América em dois relatos de viagem contemporâneos: Descobri que era europeia: impressões duma viagem à América (1951), de Natália Correia e Ida e volta – à procura de Babbitt (1960), de Ilse Losa. Interessar-nos-á sobretudo a representação ética do outro – incluindo a sua aparência física, os seus hábitos, as suas instituições sociais – nos dois relatos de viagem estudados. Utilizar-se-ão dois conceitos de longo alcance extraídos dum trabalho teórico enquadrável na órbita do pós-colonialismo, The Ethics of Travel: From Marco Polo to Kafka (1996), de Syed Mansurul Islam: o modo …


Un Pie Aquí Y Otro Allá: Translation, Globalization, And Hybridization In The New World (B)Order, Jorge Jimenez-bellver 2010 University of Massachusetts Amherst

Un Pie Aquí Y Otro Allá: Translation, Globalization, And Hybridization In The New World (B)Order, Jorge Jimenez-Bellver

Masters Theses 1911 - February 2014

This thesis explores the role of translation in the production and manipulation of identities in the contemporary Americas as exemplified in the work of Guillermo Gómez-Peña. Underscoring the instrumentality of borders vis-à-vis dominant constructions of identity and in connection with questions of language, race, and citizenship, I argue that translation not only functions as an agent of hegemonic superiority and oppression, but also as a locus of plurivocity and hybridization. Drawing from the concepts “continuous variation” (Deleuze and Guattari [1987] 2004), “coloniality of power” (Mignolo 2000), and “hybridization” (García-Canclini 1995), I discuss the connection of translation with three main topics: …


La Charca (1894) Y La Consagración Del Subalterno Puertorriqueño: Una Mirada Desde El Siglo Xxi Al Naturalismo De Manuel Zeno Gandía, Tania Carrasquillo Hernández 2010 Linfield College

La Charca (1894) Y La Consagración Del Subalterno Puertorriqueño: Una Mirada Desde El Siglo Xxi Al Naturalismo De Manuel Zeno Gandía, Tania Carrasquillo Hernández

Faculty Publications

This article analyzes the representation of coffee plantation societies in the novel La Charca (1894) by Manuel Zeno Gandía (1855-1930). This literary text is a Puerto Rican classic and is one of the four novels included in Las Crónicas de un Mundo Enfermo (Chronicles of a Sick World). The author examines the political and economic structures developed in Puerto Rico during the nineteenth century, as portrayed in the novel. Carrasquillo Hernández pays close attention to the relations between social classes, the coffee oligarchy’s struggle, and the subjugation of workers by the hacendados (landowners) in order to promote and …


The Transformation Of La Prueba De Los Ingenios Into Labyrinth Of Desire: Adapting Lope De Vega For A Contemporary American Audience, DeLys Ostlund 2010 Portland State University

The Transformation Of La Prueba De Los Ingenios Into Labyrinth Of Desire: Adapting Lope De Vega For A Contemporary American Audience, Delys Ostlund

World Languages and Literatures Faculty Publications and Presentations

Women’s equality, cross dressing, homoerotic desire—all the makings of a twenty-firstcentury comedy—were the focus of a seventeenth century play by Lope de Vega, La prueba de los ingenios (1612?-1613?). In the last two decades, interest in this work has increased considerably. Evidence of the rising popularity of the play is an English-language adaptation by Caridad Svich, which she titled The Labyrinth of Desire. The professional production at Miracle Theatre is the focus of this study. After a brief discussion of the homoerotic theme of the work and general issues of the translation and/or adaptation of the Comedia, I will then …


The Subtle Arbitrios Of Cervantes: Don Quijote As A Cautionary Tale For Leaders, Jonathan Edwin Olson 2010 Minnesota State University - Mankato

The Subtle Arbitrios Of Cervantes: Don Quijote As A Cautionary Tale For Leaders, Jonathan Edwin Olson

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

Miguel de Cervantes was clearly a man who had an interest in leadership. He sought leadership positions for himself during his life, and his works often include treatments of leadership issues. However, there are only three studies of leadership in his most important work, Don Quijote, and all are seriously flawed due to their failure to interpret passages from the novel in their context. This study uses a historical-grammatical hermeneutic to correct this error. Through a close reading of the text, this study demonstrates that Cervantes has encoded warnings for leaders in Don Quixote.

Gloria E. Anzaldúa’S Decolonizing Ritual De Conocimiento, Sarah S. Ohmer 2010 CUNY Lehman College

Gloria E. Anzaldúa’S Decolonizing Ritual De Conocimiento, Sarah S. Ohmer

Publications and Research

Gloria E. Anzaldúa’s work makes up one of the many Chican@ works that contribute another history, a history repressed by the national discourses on both sides of the border. Influenced by antecedents of U.S. Hispanic Literature who superposed “official” history with another history, Chicano activists had already enacted a retrieval of pre-conquest histories to revive their people’s historical consciousness. As Saldívar-Hull states in “Mestiza Consciousness and Politics: Gloria Anzaldúa’s Borderlands/ La frontera,” the publication of Borderlands/ La Frontera distinguished itself from the Chicano movement’s as it unveiled the curtain that hid the Aztec goddesses and kept aspects of pre-conquest history …

La presente investigación fue presentada en 2006 en la Universidad de Salamanca, como memoria final del Máster en Enseñanza de Español como Lengua Extranjera. Este estudio se realizó en la Universidad de Filipinas y en el Instituto Cervantes de Manila, para el que se encuestó a un total de 258 informantes. La tesis principal de la investigación partía de la hipótesis de que los errores ortográficos cometidos por los estudiantes filipinos de español eran fruto de unas dificultades específicas que no coincidían con las causas de los errores ortográficos que generan este tipo de error en los estudiantes nativos, especialmente …

The Relationship Among Motivation, Interaction, And The Development Of Second Language Oral Proficiency In A Study-Abroad Context, Todd A. Hernández 2010 Marquette University

The Relationship Among Motivation, Interaction, And The Development Of Second Language Oral Proficiency In A Study-Abroad Context, Todd A. Hernández

Spanish Languages and Literatures Research and Publications

The purpose of this investigation was to examine the role of integrative motivation, instrumental motivation, and interaction with a second language (L2) culture in shaping students’ speaking performance before and after participation in a 1-semester study-abroad program in Spain. A 2-part questionnaire (Student Background Information and Motivation Index), a language contact profile, and a pretest and posttest simulated oral proficiency interview were administered to 20 study-abroad participants. The results highlight 3 major points. First, students can indeed improve their L2 speaking proficiency during a 1-semester study-abroad program. Second, there is a positive relationship between students’ integrative motivation and their interaction …


Promoting Speaking Proficiency Through Motivation And Interaction: The Study Abroad And Classroom Learning Contexts, Todd A. Hernández 2010 Marquette University

Promoting Speaking Proficiency Through Motivation And Interaction: The Study Abroad And Classroom Learning Contexts, Todd A. Hernández

Spanish Languages and Literatures Research and Publications

This study investigates how motivation and interaction shape the speaking proficiency of study abroad (SA) and classroom or at home (AH) language learners. The author administered a motivation questionnaire, language contact profile, and pretest and posttest simulated oral proficiency interview. The data reveal that SA and AH students had similar motivational profiles. As expected, SA participants used the target language outside of class more than their AH counterparts. Furthermore, SA students improved their speaking proficiency more than the AH group. Student motivation and interaction were identified as important factors in the development of speaking proficiency in both learning contexts. Results …
