The Exaltation And Musicality Of The Gypsy Cante Jondo As Exemplified By The Poetry Of Federico García Lorca, Auristela Rodriguez Merlano Lung Dec 2001

The Exaltation And Musicality Of The Gypsy Cante Jondo As Exemplified By The Poetry Of Federico García Lorca, Auristela Rodriguez Merlano Lung

Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA

Federico García Lorca is considered as one of Spain's most important twentieth century poets. He was born near Granada to a well off landowner who loved the country and Gypsy cante jondo music. Growing up in this environment nurtured Federico's desire to appreciate his surroundings, music and the Gypsy culture. He took piano and flamenco guitar lessons. That is why many of his works are saturated with nuances and direct references to both nature and music. In his Poema del Cante Jondo one travels across Andalusia and penetrates into its folklore. In this set of poems, this thesis analyses how …


From Baggins To Beowful And Back Again: Teaching (Via) Tolkien, Jeff Massey Ph.D. Aug 2001

From Baggins To Beowful And Back Again: Teaching (Via) Tolkien, Jeff Massey Ph.D.

Faculty Works: ENG (1995-2016)

Beowulf, is traditionally at least, a difficult text for incoming freshmen. The Hobbit is arguably less so. In part this has much to do with their respective languages: one is so archaic as to seem foreign, the other is as comfortable as an old English shoe. One is a tale told to children around a quiet fire, the other an elegy shouted above raucous barbarians at beer. Beowulf is peppered with digressions, and shot through with violent revenge cycles. The Hobbit is a relatively straightfoward quest, adventures along the way notwithstanding. They are, on the surface at least, as …

Secreta Palinodia: La 'Contrautopía' De José Antonio Maravall Como Descargo De Conciencia, Aurora Hermida-Ruiz

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications

En un reciente ensayo panorámico sobre la historiografía española del Renacimiento, Ottavio Di Camillo afirma que no existió ninguna interpretación del Renacimiento español digna de mención en el período intermedio entre Marcelino Menéndez Pelayo y José Antonio Maravall, o sea, desde finales del siglo XIX hasta mediados de la década de los 50: ‘For over a half a century no new interpretations of the Renaissance were advanced, even though there was a slight increase in the number of studies on particular humanists and Renaissance authors’.1 En la segunda entrega de este ensayo, Ottavio Di Camillo vuelve a insistir en …

Illustrated Topical Dictionary Of The Western Desert Language : Based On The Ngaanyatjarra Dialect, Wilf Douglas Jan 2001

Illustrated Topical Dictionary Of The Western Desert Language : Based On The Ngaanyatjarra Dialect, Wilf Douglas

Research outputs pre 2011

The dictionary is based on the Ngaanyatjarra dialect of the Western Desert Language. It was designed originally to bridge the gap between my description of the grammar of the Western Desert Language (Oceanic Linguistic Monographs, No 4 Revised 1964) and the anticipated comprehensive dictionary which has been submitted by Misses A Glass and D Hackett for publication in Alice Springs this year. Some spelling alterations have been made in this edition to be consistent with those in the Glass and Hackett work.

Syntax Before Semantics, Structure Before Content (Book Review Of Carstairs-Mccarthy On Language-Origins), Daniel Hutto Jan 2001

Syntax Before Semantics, Structure Before Content (Book Review Of Carstairs-Mccarthy On Language-Origins), Daniel Hutto

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

Carstairs-McCarthy's book sets out a bold proposal that constitutes an exciting challenge to the idea that the development of modern syntax was driven by the contentful divisions of language. Instead he posits a physiological cause in order to explain why the core aspects of modern syntax are as they are. It is a great virtue of the book that it carefully reviews a vast interdisciplinary literature encompassing biology, anthropology, neuroscience and the study of apes to support this startling hypothesis. Moreover, the author does a good job of raising doubts about the handful of views that would otherwise contradict it. …


Hybridity And The Space Of The Border In The Writing Of Norma Elia Cantú, Ellen Mccracken Jan 2001

Hybridity And The Space Of The Border In The Writing Of Norma Elia Cantú, Ellen Mccracken

Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature

The creative and scholarly writing of Norma Elia Cantú focuses centrally on the tensions of borders that are eroding yet firmly in place. Cantú's border pivots on the geographic space in which Mexico and the United States physically intersect, yet she probes at the same time several of the other tenuous cultural borders that postmodernity has brought into focus. Transcending distinctions between genres, languages, and cultures, Cantú undertakes innovative genre hybridity, visual-verbal hybridity, and the recombination of distinct cultural codes. Whether writing cultural criticism, autobioethnography, creative fiction, or poetry, Cantú locates herself at the intersection of the geographical and epistemological …
