Disrupting The (Post) Neoliberal Order In Latin America Through The Representation Of Fictional Corporate Office Narratives In Argentina And Mexico (2007-2010), Juliana Todescan
Disrupting The (Post) Neoliberal Order In Latin America Through The Representation Of Fictional Corporate Office Narratives In Argentina And Mexico (2007-2010), Juliana Todescan
Spanish and Portuguese ETDs
Due to the expansion of the neoliberal and global order in Latin America in the 1990s, national states and citizens are subjected to the free market interests regulated and managed by for profit corporations and the financial industry. Considering this a critical change in the social organization of Latin America, I compare narratives from Argentina and Mexico that imagine cosmopolitan cities being colonized by the corporate logic of profit. My analysis focuses on the representation of low level office workers in Antonio Ortuño’s novel Recursos humanos (2007), Guillermo Saccomanno’s novel El oficinista (2010), and Aníbal Jarkowski’s El trabajo (2007), and …
La Llorona In Nuevomexicana Poetic Narratives: Reflections On Writing And Memory, Sutherland Jaramillo
La Llorona In Nuevomexicana Poetic Narratives: Reflections On Writing And Memory, Sutherland Jaramillo
Spanish and Portuguese ETDs
This paper focuses on poetic narratives that consider the folklore figure of La Llorona. I argue that contemporary nuevomexicana poets are responding to regional narratives as a way of challenging traditional structures of the lore and female archetypes to reclaim the identity and voice of the figure of La Llorona. Through literature that considers structure and archetype of the lore, Chicana feminist theory, and spectral theory, this essay surveys a selection of poems: “La Llorona Speaks” (2018) by Mercedez Holtry, “Una Carta de Amor de la Llorona” (2011) by Jessica Helen Lopez and “La Llorona” (2018) by Joanna Vidaurre-Trujillo. Through …

An Annotated Critical Edition Of También Tiene El Sol Menguante By Luis Vélez De Guevara And Francisco De Rojas Zorrilla, James Stone Rambo
Foreign Languages & Literatures ETDs
También tiene el sol menguante is a refundición of Mira de Amescua's two-part drama, La próspera y la adversa fortuna de don Bernardo de Cabrera, concerning the famous fourteenth-century favorite of Pedro IV of Aragon. The purpose of this dissertation is to provide a clear text of the play, along with thorough textual notes.
There are four extant versions of the play in question: 1) a handwritten, censored manuscript whose censures are dated 1655, 2) a printed version from a collection published in 1666, 3) a handwritten manuscript of the eighteenth century (probably dating from before 1735), and 4) …

Historic-Critical Description Of Libro De Buen Amor Of Juan Ruiz, Flora Sarinopoulos
Historic-Critical Description Of Libro De Buen Amor Of Juan Ruiz, Flora Sarinopoulos
Spanish and Portuguese ETDs
My purpose has been to give a historical description of the Libro de buen amor . This I have it expedient to do by creating four broad categories: First, a brief introduction to the author and book; second, generalities about Juan Ruiz' attitude toward love; third, illustrations in respect to characterization, human behavior, local color, proverbs, and apologues; and fourth, a classification of the comedy of the work.
The Portuguese Complimentary Infinitive After Nouns And Adjectives, Peter J. Lunardini
The Portuguese Complimentary Infinitive After Nouns And Adjectives, Peter J. Lunardini
Spanish and Portuguese ETDs
The Portuguese usage of the preposition following verbs has been thoroughly studied by Francisco Fernandes in his Dictionàrio de verbos e regimes. However, the preposition required to supplement a noun or an adjective before a complementary infinitive has been virtually excluded from Portuguese dictionaries. It is the purpose of this thesis to present a study, together with examples, of this important phase of Portuguese syntax.
To obtain this information, thirty-one works of nineteen modern Portuguese and Brazilian authors were carefully examined, and the prepositional usage was recorded. The following general conclusions are based upon approximately 4,000 examples collected.
Folklore In The Contemporary Spanish American Novel, Anita M. Noble
Folklore In The Contemporary Spanish American Novel, Anita M. Noble
Spanish and Portuguese ETDs
The novel of Spanish America is especially rich in all types of folklore. This is particularly due to the fusion of the Spanish and the Indian peoples in a common life with different cultural heritages.
"Sometimes one type of folklore, sometimes another, finds great favor among a certain folk." Thus we will notice that witchcraft as a religious rite predominates in the people of Indian culture. Magic and the supernatural stand out in all the classifications of the folklore of this race and is therefore evident in the Latin American novel dealing with the Indian people, or people from a …
