Carmen De Burgos : La Educación De La Mujer Y La Literatura De Viajes Como Género Narrativo, Esther A. Daganzo-Cantens Nov 2006

Carmen De Burgos : La Educación De La Mujer Y La Literatura De Viajes Como Género Narrativo, Esther A. Daganzo-Cantens

FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This study analyzes Carmen de Burgos’ European travel literature, and focuses on two themes: education and travel literature as a literary genre. An examination of her travel literature reveals two essential elements related to her view of education. The first is the influence that the European educational system had on her way of thinking, particularly with respect to the idea of tolerance, the practice of hygiene, and the important role of nature in education. The second is the development of her view of education as the foundation for the emancipation of women in Spain. Carmen de Burgos espoused the view …

Maria Teresa Leon's poetic depiction of the anguish of exile has earned her recognition as a vibrant voice of twentieth century Spanish literature. She was a writer at the forefront of political and intellectual activity during her beloved Spain's civil war (1936-1939). Compelled by the struggle for justice, she portrayed the suffering of the oppressed and disempowered, specifically women, children and workers.

Mariano Jose de Lana was one of Spain's finest journalist of the early nineteenth century. I teach a entire half semester on Lana in a course on reform in Spain. Today's students are still interested in the subject of reform and they do, predictably, compare Larra 's recommendations with what they see on their own trips to Spain as well as with similar issues in 21st century United States culture. As a framework for the course, four basic approaches were designed, which were also the topics for a take--home, mid-term exam.

In La Perfecta Casada ( 1.583) Fray Luis de Leon exhorted wives to redeem their fallen husbands through their exemplary behavior. While he does not directly address the problem of spousal abuse, he does suggest that even infidelity must be endured as part of the perfect wife's duty to exert her good, Christian influence on her husband.

La Construcción Del Espacio Urbano En La Poesía Social De Gabriel Aresti: Bilbao Ante La Modernidad, Irune Del Rio Gabiola Jan 2006

La Construcción Del Espacio Urbano En La Poesía Social De Gabriel Aresti: Bilbao Ante La Modernidad, Irune Del Rio Gabiola

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

This essay focuses on the construction of urban space through Gabriel Aresti's poetry during Franco's dictatorship. On the one hand, Aresti emphasizes the social injustices in the city between the new Basque bourgeoisie and the Castilian and rural Basque immigrants. On the other hand, the poet wants to retrieve Basque language and tradition as a reaction to a progressive cultural loss due to the presence of 'españolidad' and to urban changes. Therefore, this conflict generates the subjective and specific experience of a space that needs to negotiate cultural and social heterogeneity while articulating 'Basquism' and integrating the 'other'.

World Languages and Cultures Faculty Articles and Research

"En el presente estudio nos interesa considerar la conexión entre la literatura y el teatro y, en especial, en relación a la obra La balada de la cárcel de Circe, dirigida por Elena Cánovas. Una de las preguntas que motiva esta investigación es: ¿Cuál es el papel de la literatura, de la intertexttialidad literaria, en el universo teatral? Se postula que el intertexto literario se comunica con la representación teatral de una manera metafórica, dando lugar a la expresión de una metáfora que tiene la capacidad de revelar comentarios importantes sobre la esfera cultural de la obra. Respecto de La …

Latin American, Caribbean, and Latino Studies Faculty Publications

En junio de 1810, Mariano Moreno aseguró que la Gaceta de Buenos Aires nacía para apoyar la exactitud, sinceridad, franqueza y continuidad del orden creado por la Revolución de Mayo y garantizar “que el Pueblo no resfríe en su confianza” (Gaceta 1-2). El periódico enfrentaría el engaño intencional e interesado, el uso malicioso de los errores del gobierno y la ignorancia sobre los asuntos públicos. Buscaría cohesionar a sus lectores y ordenar una sociedad en transición, ayudando a evitar “al fin una disolución, que envuelve a toda la comunidad en males irreparables” (Gaceta 1). Se planteaba, además, asegurarle a Pueblos …
