The Penetration Of European Ideology In The Atlantic World: “Othering” And “Deforming” The Image Of The African Queen Njinga Of Matamba In The Narrative Of Capuchin Monk Fra. Cavazzi Da Montecúccolo, Celina Cavalcanti-Bennett
The Penetration Of European Ideology In The Atlantic World: “Othering” And “Deforming” The Image Of The African Queen Njinga Of Matamba In The Narrative Of Capuchin Monk Fra. Cavazzi Da Montecúccolo, Celina Cavalcanti-Bennett
Spanish and Portuguese ETDs
This thesis examines how language deforms the image of the 'pagan and barbarous' inhabitants of the African continent, and specifically that of Queen Njinga of Matamba, through the process of 'Othering,' realized by the racist imperialist ideology embedded in European writings. I argue that the representation of Africans and African subjects in Fra. Cavazzi da Montecúccolo's writings deform their image. Cavazzi's writings draw from a stockpile of images that circulated in European ideology to represent the 'Other' and make inferior all non-Europeans and non-Catholics in order to justify the slave trade and colonization. I employ Walter Mignolo's argument that the …
La Ausencia De Lo Afro En La Identidad Nacional De México: Raza Y Los Mecanismos De La Invisibilización De Los Afrodescendientes En La Historia, La Cultura Popular, Y La Literatura Mexicana, Dora Careaga-Coleman
La Ausencia De Lo Afro En La Identidad Nacional De México: Raza Y Los Mecanismos De La Invisibilización De Los Afrodescendientes En La Historia, La Cultura Popular, Y La Literatura Mexicana, Dora Careaga-Coleman
Spanish and Portuguese ETDs
Recognizing the dire need for foundational texts in the burgeoning field of Afro-Mexican Studies, this dissertation illuminates transhistorical social, political, and cultural processes that led to the marginalization (invisibilization) of the African presence in Mexico. The project begins with an examination of the complementary relationship between hierarchy, integration, and 'blanquiamento' in the construction of Mexican national identity during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and concludes with a discussion of Afromexicanos in popular culture from the golden age of Mexican cinema to the present. Chapter One demonstrates how from its implementation in the eighteenth century until its abolition by Jose Morelos …
La Historia De Los Nobles Caualleros Oliveros De Castilla Y Artus Dalgarbe: Una Introduccion Con Analisis Literario Dos Ediciones: Normalizada Y Diplomatica, Ruben Salido
Spanish and Portuguese ETDs
The story of Oliveros is today considered by scholars to be an avant garde, integral and salient example of a genre created by printers in the fifteenth century now termed género editorial caballeresco' (Lucía Mejías 8). In his book, 'Orígenes de la novela', Mareclino Menéndez y Pelayo lists Oliveros as a work with religious and moral tendencies in which heroism, virtue and the efficacy of repentement are emphasized (243). Yet, while the story does hold many of the traditional elements of a typical errant Knight's story, it deviates enough to cast it out of the traditional genre. Its peculiarities caused …
The Word And The Flesh: The Transformation Of Female Slave Subject To Mystic Agent Through Performance In The Texts Of Úrsula De Jesus, Theresa (Chicaba) De Santo Domingo And Rosa Maria Egipcíaca, Rachel Spaulding
Spanish and Portuguese ETDs
Previous research about the African slave experience in the Ibero-Atlantic world has understood slave agency, or more polemically, slave autonomy, through the binary of accommodation versus resistance. However, current African Diaspora scholarship (Schwartz, Thornton, etc.) situates the slave experience within a spectrum of lived experiences. These lived experiences range from accommodation to resistance but often overlap: lived experiences expressed overtly as accommodation reveal covert resistance. My dissertation explores the words of three Afro-women: \xdarsula de Jesus (1604-1666), an Afro-Peruvian Mystic, Sister Teresa de Santo Domingo (1676-1748), also known as Sor Chicaba, who lived as a Dominican tertiary in Salamanca, Spain, …
Gregório De Matos Guerra’S Poetic Corpus As An Analogy For The Duality Of Colonial Brazil, Viviane Ferreira De Faria
Gregório De Matos Guerra’S Poetic Corpus As An Analogy For The Duality Of Colonial Brazil, Viviane Ferreira De Faria
Spanish and Portuguese ETDs
In this thesis I propose a model of analysis for Gregório de Matos Guerras poetry based on the scholarly understanding of his Satirical poetry as a representation of Colonial Brazil as a body in decay. The comparison between the Colony and Matos Guerra's poetry allows for the dramatization of the tension in the Colony's life: on one hand, the new land is seen as a virtuous paradise; and, on the other, as a place where its people and resources are exploited and corrupted. The first view of the Colony is depicted by Matos Guerra Lyrical poetry, thus, in the first …
The Chola Loca In Landscapes Of Struggle: Breaking Silence In The Works Of Helena María Viramontes And Yxta Maya Murray, Lorena Galván
The Chola Loca In Landscapes Of Struggle: Breaking Silence In The Works Of Helena María Viramontes And Yxta Maya Murray, Lorena Galván
Spanish and Portuguese ETDs
The struggle of reimagining and resituating once ignored or vilified female icons is an example of how Chicanas turn to the past to instill a new meaning to female archetypes. In breaking silence, Helena María Viramontes and Yxta Maya Murray found a way to make the Chola visible, and a voice from which she could speak about the concerns of women living la vida loca in urban landscapes. The analysis of Chicana representations, of the Chola and la vida loca thus offers a counter-narrative to the dominant narratives offered by Chicano texts but also to the rise of representations about …
