Toward A Discourse Of Mestizaje: The Role Of The Patagonian Frontier In The Construction Of Argentine National Identity, Daniela V. L. Senderowicz

Dissertations and Theses

This essay will explore the notion of mestizaje in the Republic of Argentina. Specifically, it will use the Argentine Patagonia as a point of departure for this analysis, an area in which conquest resulted in a community of mixed-race and mixed culture individuals. The juxtaposition of the struggle between white settlers and Mapuche-Tehuelche Indians of the region demonstrates a continuity in discrimination in the nation's history. For this very reason, the area represents a general pattern present throughout the country, and, hence, I use it as a prototype to draw conclusions about race relations in the nation as a whole. …

Nostalgias Postcoloniales: La Revolución Es Un Sueño Eteimo De Andrés Rivera Y La Campaña De Carlos Fuentes, Alvaro Kaempfer

Latin American, Caribbean, and Latino Studies Faculty Publications

La nación como un deseo dibujado sobre los escombros de su utopía, en el tramo final del ciclo independentista latinoamericano, ordena mi acercamiento a La revolución es un sueño eterno (1987) de Andrés Rivera y La campaña (1990) de Carlos Fuentes. Más aUá de su diversidad y complejidad, ambas novelas abordan el ciclo independentista a partir de una incursión a la escritura de la historia en el contexto de la narrativa del Post-Boom. Mi hipótesis es que ambas novelas redefinen la relación entre narrativa e historia enfatizando la singularidad de la experiencia histórica, y apoyando en esa percepción individual una …

Where Africa Meets Europe: Afro-Colonial Influences As Seen In The Tradition Of The Mirrored Devils Of Panama, Elizabeth Rhodes

Textual Resources

The Republic of Panama is rich with folklore traditions which include as many different kinds of devils as there are provinces. Diablos sucios (dirty devils) and grandiablos (grand devils) can be seen in festivals across the country. Less visible are the diablos de espejo, or devils of the mirrors, which dance each year in the village of Escobal for the celebration of Corpus Christi. The dance movement performed throughout the day and the culminating drama which occurs in the local Catholic church at the end of day demonstrate a clear melding of African and Spanish colonial influences.

Spanish Women And The SeccióN Femenina: Rhetoric, Imagery, And Ideology, Julia Hudson-Richards

Theses, Dissertations and Capstones

Women never discover anything; they lack, of course, the creative talent; reserved by God for male intelligence. We can do nothing more but perform for better or worse, the tasks which men give us.

Pilar Primo de Rivera, 1942.

Though at the time of its founding in 1934 the women’s section of the Spanish fascist party may have been insignificant to many, the Sección Femenina in a few short years was installed as the premier government agency with regard to the political status of Spain’s women. With the consolidation of the Franco regime, the Sección Femenina was placed in charge …
