Food Matters: Alonso Quijano’S Diet And The Discourse Of Early Modern Food In Spain, Carolyn Nadeau Feb 2016

Food Matters: Alonso Quijano’S Diet And The Discourse Of Early Modern Food In Spain, Carolyn Nadeau

Carolyn A Nadeau

In the second sentence of Don Quixote, Cervantes describes the diet of the protagonist, Alonso Quijano: “A stew made of more beef than mutton, cold salad on most nights, abstinence eggs on Saturdays, lentils on Fridays, and an additional squab on Sundays.” Through an inventive and original engagement with this text, Carolyn A. Nadeau explores the shifts in Spain’s cultural and gastronomic history. Using cooking manuals, novels, poems, dietary treatises, and other texts, she brings to light the figurative significance of foodstuffs and culinary practices in early modern Spain. Drawing on the work of Pierre Bourdieu and Stephen Mennell, Food …


Revolutionizing La Regenta: Parodic Transformation And Cinematic Innovation In Oviedo Express, Linda Willem Mar 2015

Revolutionizing La Regenta: Parodic Transformation And Cinematic Innovation In Oviedo Express, Linda Willem

Linda M. Willem

Applying Linda Hutcheon’s concept of parody as “an integrated structural modeling process of revising, replaying, inventing, and ‘trans-contextualizing’ previous works of art,” this article explores how film director Gonzalo Suárez incorporates the following source material into his 2007 comedy Oviedo Express: Leopoldo Alas’s La Regenta as well as Suárez’s own 1974 film adaptation of the novel and Fernando Méndez-Leite’s 1995 made-for-television adaptation of it; Stefan Zweig’s story “Angst” and Roberto Rossellini’s film Non credo più all’amore (La paura) based on it; and J. B. Priestley’s play Music at Night. After announcing his parodic enterprise with a quote from Priestley, Suárez …


The Story Not Told: Sex And Marriage In Pardo Bazán's "Los Cirineos" And "La Argolla", Linda Willem Aug 2014

The Story Not Told: Sex And Marriage In Pardo Bazán's "Los Cirineos" And "La Argolla", Linda Willem

Linda M. Willem

This article examines how narrative strategies of indirection employed in “Los cirineos” and “La argolla” engage the reader’s ethical participation in examining and questioning societal norms concerning sex and marriage. In “Los cirineos,” the opposition between the moral and the immoral is broken down by the presence of what Shlomith Rimmon Kenan has called “doubly-directed clues,” resulting in mutually exclusive readings of the text that exemplify C. Namwali Serpell’s concept of oscillating narration. In “La argolla,” the sexual content of a proposition is suggested rather than stated due to what Robyn Warhol has defined as its “antinarratable” nature, but it …

Moscatel Morisco: The Role Of Wine In The Formation Of Morisco Identity, Carolyn Nadeau Jan 2013

Moscatel Morisco: The Role Of Wine In The Formation Of Morisco Identity, Carolyn Nadeau

Carolyn A Nadeau

This article explores how Moriscos adapted to changing political pressures through the food and drink they consumed, specifically through their relationship to wine. To contextualize Morisco wine production and consumption, I first examine the religious, legal and poetic contexts within Muslim-Mudejar history and how wine informed their identity. Using Bourdieu's theory of distinction and the fact that practices as banal as eating and drinking reflect social identity, I then turn to specific case studies. Records of vineyards and wine production, regulatory laws, and an artistic expression of Morisco wine consumption reflect economic, social and cultural realities for Moriscos and contribute …

Exile And Identity In Autobiographies Of Twentieth-Century Spanish Women, Karla Zepeda Dec 2011

Exile And Identity In Autobiographies Of Twentieth-Century Spanish Women, Karla Zepeda

Karla P Zepeda

In Exile and Identity in Autobiographies of Twentieth-Century Spanish Women, Karla P. Zepeda studies the experience of exile and its effects on identity in three autobiographies: In Place of Splendor by Constancia de la Mora, Memoria de la melancolía by María Teresa León, and Seis años de mi vida by Federica Montseny. These three prominent Spanish women of the Second Republic became exiles at the conclusion of the Spanish Civil War due to the onset of the Francisco Franco regime. The political expatriation caused their relocation into various countries: the United States, France, Argentina, and Italy. The repositioning initiated a …

The Inner Life Of Women In Medieval Romance Literature: Grief, Guilt And Hypocrisy, Jeff Rider, Jamie Friedman Dec 2010

The Inner Life Of Women In Medieval Romance Literature: Grief, Guilt And Hypocrisy, Jeff Rider, Jamie Friedman

Jeff Rider

Recent research suggests that emotions are largely constructed and performed and that narrative is one of the most important practices through which people become emotionally aware. Narrative literature thus offers a privileged means of exploring the emotional standards and styles of the past. The essays collected here explore medieval, romance emotional communities through both fictional and non-fictional narratives in French, Spanish, and Italian texts ranging from the twelfth through fifteenth centuries. By following these women characters in their considerations, we can hope both to learn something about the times the women were writing in, while to enriching and enlarging our …


Ensaladas Calientes Y Carnero Verde: Imágenes De La Vianda En La Poesía Satírico-Burlesca De Francisco De Quevedo, Carolyn Nadeau Dec 2008

Ensaladas Calientes Y Carnero Verde: Imágenes De La Vianda En La Poesía Satírico-Burlesca De Francisco De Quevedo, Carolyn Nadeau

Carolyn A Nadeau

Este artículo analiza la identidad social y la historia culinaria a través de las imágenes de la vianda en la poesía satírico-burlesca de Francisco de Quevedo. Específicamente, los poemas de Quevedo, «Matraca de las flores y la hortaliza», «Boda y acompañamiento del campo» y «Los sopones de Salamanca», junto con los recetarios contemporáneos de Granado, Hernández de Maceras y Martínez Montiño muestran que la carne se privilegia por encima de la hortaliza; el carnero, por encima de la vaca; y que las ensaladas no se consumían en el círculo social más alto. Basándonos en la noción de la capital cultural …

Menudencias, Marianella Machado Dec 2008

Menudencias, Marianella Machado

Marianella P. Machado

Menudencias es una colecci¿n de poemas breves inspirados en los Haikus de poetas japoneses, tales como: Bash¿, S¿gui, Kiorai, Riota, Taigui, Kit¿, entre otros. En Menudencias, Marianella Machado no intenta imitar fielmente a dichos poetas. M¿s bien, la poeta busca exceder los par¿metros de ese g¿nero mediante el uso constante de la variaci¿n de im¿genes.

Queer Transitions In Contemporary Spanish Culture: From Franco To La Movida, Gema Pérez-Sánchez Dec 2006

Queer Transitions In Contemporary Spanish Culture: From Franco To La Movida, Gema Pérez-Sánchez

Gema Pérez-Sánchez

Gema Pérez-Sánchez argues that the process of political and cultural transition from dictatorship to democracy in Spain can be read allegorically as a shift from a dictatorship that followed a self-loathing “homosexual” model to a democracy that identified as a pluralized “queer” body. Focusing on the urban cultural phenomenon of la movida, she offers a sustained analysis of high queer culture, as represented by novels, along with an examination of low queer culture, as represented by comic books and films. Pérez-Sánchez shows that urban queer culture played a defining role in the cultural and political processes that helped to move …

Authorizing The Wife/Mother In Sixteenth-Century Advice Manuals, Carolyn Nadeau Mar 2003

Authorizing The Wife/Mother In Sixteenth-Century Advice Manuals, Carolyn Nadeau

Carolyn A Nadeau

From Amazon.com: Women in the Discourse of Early Modern Spain addresses the important methodological and conceptual issues surrounding the lives, works, and representations of women in the literature of Early Modern Spain. It offers a cross-disciplinary approach to the study of feminine identity and discourse both in the writings of both women and men. The essays move beyond the theme of women and literature in Early Modern Spain to reassess the economic, legal, political, and religious systems that articulate the parameters of women's access to power and self-determination in the past as well as in the present. Written by internationally …

Women Of The Prologue: Imitation, Myth, And Magic In Don Quixote, Carolyn Nadeau May 2002

Women Of The Prologue: Imitation, Myth, And Magic In Don Quixote, Carolyn Nadeau

Carolyn A Nadeau

From Google Books: Women of the Prologue: Imitation, Myth, and Magic in Don Quixote I examines the significance of the sources cited for female characterization in the prologue and their relationship to Cervantes's writing style. When the anonymous friend suggests that Cervantes include Guevara's Lamia, Laida, and Flora; Ovid's Medea; Homer's Calypso; and Virgil's Circe as models for specific types of women, he not only foregrounds the significance of these classical women for the female characters in the text, but also partakes in the controversial debate of the value of imitatio at the historic juncture of Humanist and Modernist perspectives …
