From Borderlands To Border Islands: Intersections Between Anzaldúa's Chicana Feminist Theory And U.S. Latina Literature From The Hispanic Caribbean, Cristina Gonzalez Martin
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis studies three texts by three U.S. Latina authors from the Hispanic Caribbean through the lens of Chicana feminist border theory. The works analyzed are How the García Girls Lost Their Accents (1991) by Dominican author Julia Alvarez, Dreaming in Cuban (1992) by Cuban-American novelist Cristina García, and the memoir Almost a Woman (1998) by Puerto Rican author Esmeralda Santiago.

Theses and Dissertations
El objetivo de la presente Tesis es determinar cuál es la función que cumple la belleza en la obra Ariel, de José Enrique Rodó. Para ello elaboraremos una teoría integradora del significado de la belleza rodoniana basada en el análisis de sus distintas dimensiones: metafísica, espiritual, moral, de integridad y heroica. Las teorías estéticas de Platón y Schiller, junto con la teoría del héroe de Thomas Carlyle constituyen el marco teórico de este estudio. Finalmente, la aplicación de esta teoría nos permite concluir que la belleza cumple una doble función en esta obra: en el plano individual, actúa como valor …
