Centering Community Voices Through Children's Literature: Co-Authoring An #Ownvoices Picture Book For The Maine Migrant Education Program, Melanie Shelton
Centering Community Voices Through Children's Literature: Co-Authoring An #Ownvoices Picture Book For The Maine Migrant Education Program, Melanie Shelton
Master's Theses
Since its inception, the field of migrant education has been characterized by a tension between honoring the subjectivity of migrant families and positioning them as victims. This same tension exists in the analysis of children’s picture books that depict the daily lives of migrant farmworkers. In response to Eve Tuck’s (2009) call for a moratorium on damage-centered research in the field of education, this report describes the collaboration process between a representative of the Maine Migrant Education Program and a migrant
farmworker and her family to write, illustrate, and present an autobiographical picture book. Las aventuras, travesuras, y peligros del …
Tejidos Urbanos: Representaciones Literarias Y Visuales De La Memoria En La Ciudad Imaginada, Marina Marisela Alvarez
Tejidos Urbanos: Representaciones Literarias Y Visuales De La Memoria En La Ciudad Imaginada, Marina Marisela Alvarez
Master's Theses
The urban imaginary is that which bases itself in a real physical and concrete space,
but is a construction created through the lense of a city's inhabitants. This thesis follows
narratives that have reconfigured the cities of México City, San Juan and Caracas from the
novels Hotel DF (2010), Simone (2011) and the film Pelo Malo (2013) respectively. These
contemporary Latin American & Caribbean narratives provide insight into sentiments
about one's country. Néstor GarcÃa Canclini and Henri Lefebvre have argued the city is a
whole, and therefore it is analyzed as a microcosm and epicenter of its nation. With
emphasis …
La Escritura Subversiva De Reinaldo Arenas Por Medio De La Conformación De La Masculinidad Trágica, La Masculinidad Disidente Y La Masculinidad Homosexual, Pablo J. Vega
Master's Theses
Hace poco más de dos años me matriculé en tres cursos con el único fin de escapar del departamento de filosofía, sin ni tan siquiera imaginar que aquella decisión iba a cambiarme por completo. En ese semestre tuve la oportunidad de tomar un curso sobre la novela de la revolución y la dictadura en Latinoamérica y entre los textos que leímos estuvo incluida la autobiografía de Arenas, Antes que anochezca. En dicho texto hubo dos cosas que me llamaron la atención y de las cuales he seguido investigando y pensando a lo largo de la carrera. En primer lugar, me …
Testimony, Remhi And Senselessness In Guatemalan Memory, Melissa Jean Boroughs
Testimony, Remhi And Senselessness In Guatemalan Memory, Melissa Jean Boroughs
Master's Theses
This thesis argues that the fragmented form of the Guatemalan collective memory concerning the genocide can be more clearly understood by analyzing and comparing testimonial literature, documentaries, the Truth Commission report, a novel, and works of performance art. All of these works are considered to be artifacts of memory of the Guatemalan genocide, each one offering a different perspective on the past and present of Guatemala.
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 …

Literary And Visual Representations Of Traumatic Memory Of The Pinochet Dictatorship In Chile, Alison Tange
Master's Theses
This thesis presents an analysis of six narratives that contribute to the collective memory of the Pinochet dictatorship in Chile. In this study, I attempt to pinpoint the commonalities, motivations, and differences in three literary texts - Un día de octubre en Santiago (Carmen Castillo, 1982), Mi verdad (Marcia Alejandra Merino, 1992), La vida doble (Arturo Fontaine, 2010), and three documentary films - La Flaca Alejandra (Carmen Castillo, 1993), Chile, la memoria obstinada (Patricio Guzmán, 1997), and Mi vida con Carlos (Germán Berger, 2008). These literary and visual narratives are deliberate efforts to shape the memories of the dictatorial past …
