Noticias De Cosmópolis: La Ciudad De Santo Domingo Entre Las Ruinas Y La Modernidad, Medar Serrata
Noticias De Cosmópolis: La Ciudad De Santo Domingo Entre Las Ruinas Y La Modernidad, Medar Serrata
Medar Serrata
Este trabajo estudia el tratamiento del espacio público en las novelas Guanuma (1914), de Federico García Godoy, y La sangre: Una vida bajo la tiranía (1913), de Tulio Manuel Cestero. El ensayo sugiere que en las imágenes captadas por los personajes de ambas novelas durante sus recorridos por las calles de la ciudad las formas generadas por la irrupción de la modernidad se superpone a las de las ruinas del pasado colonial. El resultado es una interpretación ambivalente de la realidad nacional, a través de la cual se puede percibir la ansiedad que despertaba en los intelectuales dominicanos la creciente …
Naturalism, Murder, And Identity In Three Short Stories Of Ramon Ferreira, Haley Lee Osborn
Naturalism, Murder, And Identity In Three Short Stories Of Ramon Ferreira, Haley Lee Osborn
Master's Theses
En sus varios cuentos premiados el autor cubano Ramón Ferreira le enseña a su lector el lado más oscuro y violento de la sociedad cubana de manera crudamente verosímil. Durante la época en que escribió, entre 1950 y 1960, mientras que el país sufría turbulencia política y social, Ferreira creaba historias sensacionalistas que mostraban escenas de asesinatos, ladrones, prejuicios, obsesiones, vicios, y cuestiones relacionadas con la falta de justicia en Cuba. Desde Cuba, Ferreira se inspiró en la evolución y el gran viaje del naturalismo que comenzó en Francia con Zola, pasando por España con Pardo Bazán, Sudamérica con varios …

Poética De La Dictadura: El Poder De Las Palabras En La Era De Trujillo, Medar Serrata
Poética De La Dictadura: El Poder De Las Palabras En La Era De Trujillo, Medar Serrata
Medar Serrata
In the year 1930, Rafael Leónidas Trujillo, a military officer of humble origin trained by the United States Marines, took the presidency of the Dominican Republic to begin one of the longest and most brutal dictatorships in the history of Latin America. His rise to power meant the beginning of a massive and continuous effort spanning thirty years to depict General Trujillo as a messianic figure predestined to rescue his nation from a long history of political disarray and economic backwardness. To lead this effort, Trujillo secured the collaboration of the country’s most prominent intellectuals, a group made up of …

Beyond The Nation: Issues Of Identity In The Contemporary Narrative Of Cuban Women Writing (In) The Diaspora, Yvette Fuentes
CAHSS Faculty Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation traces the narrative of contemporary Cuban women writers from their early work published in Cuba through their Diaspora narratives. It explores the discursive and narrative techniques that contemporary Cuban women deploy in their narratives to challenge Cuba's dominant cultural constructions of national and gendered identity. I posit that contemporary Cuban women's narratives produced on and off the island display aislamiento (isolation) that serves as a means of "talking back" to Cuba's patriarchal discourses. The introduction presents an overview of recent debates on nation, gender and identity within the context of contemporary Cuban literary history and feminist theory. Chapter …
