Deconstruyendo Narrativas Coloniales En Relatos Cortos Latinoamericanos, Olivia Gabrielle Bradley
Deconstruyendo Narrativas Coloniales En Relatos Cortos Latinoamericanos, Olivia Gabrielle Bradley
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
Este artículo investiga cómo los autores de América Latina deconstruyen las narrativas coloniales en sus cuentos. Los cuatro relatos analizados son "Chac mool" por Carlos Fuentes, "Coatlicue" por Elena Poniatowska, "La noche boca arriba" por Julio Cortázar y "La culpa es de los Tlaxcaltecas" por Elena Garro. Mediante un estudio del uso del realismo mágico para promover críticas coloniales junto con una aplicación de la teoría de la descolonialidad, este artículo describe cómo los autores abordan los conceptos de la conquista española de México, la naturaleza dualista de la identidad mexicana y las estructuras de poder y opresión que persisten …
Tabaquismo: ¿Negocio Y Forma De Identidad Cultural?, Caroline Zuhone
Tabaquismo: ¿Negocio Y Forma De Identidad Cultural?, Caroline Zuhone
Modern Language, Literature, and Culture Honors Theses
España es un país con un nivel de desarrollo similar a los Estados Unidos, no obstante, a pesar de su inserción dentro de los países del primer mundo tiene un índice que no se corresponde con esta categoría, una gran parte de su población usa tabaco frecuentemente. Con la actualización de muchos trabajos científicos que explican los efectos negativos del tabaco y su difusión pública, en los Estados Unidos se ha logrado que muchas personas dejen de fumar. No ha sucedido lo mismo en España, allí muchos españoles siguen consumiendo tabaco desestimando la difusión de los mismos estudios científicos. El …
Tango: A Spanish-Based Programming Language, Ashley Zegiestowsky
Tango: A Spanish-Based Programming Language, Ashley Zegiestowsky
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
The purpose of this thesis is a two-part project. The first part of the project deals with the creation of my own Spanish-based programming language, Tango, using Spanish key words (instead of English key words). The second part of the project relates to the design and implementation of a compiler that follows the grammar rules outlined in the Tango language in order to successfully lexically analyze, parse, semantically analyze, and generate code for Tango. The structure of this thesis begins with a description of the specific goals achieved in the Tango language, an explanation and brief examples of the Tango …
The Cartography Of The New World: Hernán Cortés’S Literary Mapping Of America, Sarah Tietz
The Cartography Of The New World: Hernán Cortés’S Literary Mapping Of America, Sarah Tietz
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
The Age of Discovery travel narratives from the fifteenth and sixteenth century, written by European explorers to the Americas, can be understood not only as narratives, but also as literary maps of the New World. Specifically, Hernán Cortés’s Second Letter in Cartas de Relación exemplifies the ways in which literary cartography helped write the Americas into existence in Europe. Cortés’s map does not reproduce the land he encounters, it creates the space known as America. His letters become a map in three ways. First, Cortés deliberately included descriptions of features of the land and natives that would impress the Christian …
Liberation Theology: Why Should The Nations Be Glad?, Marianne Burris Richardson
Liberation Theology: Why Should The Nations Be Glad?, Marianne Burris Richardson
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
The role a just God ought to have in the struggle for sociopolitical liberation has frustrated theologians for centuries; in the twentieth century, Latin American theologians proposed that while God loves all people, God unequivocally sides with the poor in the fight for social justice, and so should the church. The relative success of this teaching in Latin American churches led to increased participation of the laity in the fight for democracy. This project will analyze liberation theology's efficacy as the motivation for social justice in Latin America, focusing on the writing of Leonardo Boff (a Brazilian theologian) and the …

The Making And Breaking Of A Language: The French And Spanish Effect Upon The Catalan Regional Language, Margaret Emilyn Cychosz
The Making And Breaking Of A Language: The French And Spanish Effect Upon The Catalan Regional Language, Margaret Emilyn Cychosz
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
Almost four hundred years ago, the French and Spanish governments divided the Catalan border regions located between their respective countries. The subsequent centuries have seen the expansion and development of the Catalan language in Spain and the demise of the Catalan language in France, where it has nearly deteriorated to disuse. Is this a reflection upon the French and Spanish culture or was it simply governmental policy? If so, what did the central governments of Madrid and Paris do in the centuries following the division that resulted in this contrasting development of Catalan? What effect did the usage of Catalan …
Aplicación De La Teoría De La Imagen A Pinturas Surrealistas Españolas Durante La Guerra Civil Española, Jordan Kirkegaard
Aplicación De La Teoría De La Imagen A Pinturas Surrealistas Españolas Durante La Guerra Civil Española, Jordan Kirkegaard
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
El autor W.J.H.B. Sandberg mencionó que: "Great artists by sorne hidden direction assemble where life is most intense, where a new world is about to be born. They come together to shape a new world." Entre 1936 y 1939, las circunstancias de la vida intensa, difícil, y trágica eran frecuentes en España. Antes de 1936, España había experimentado diferentes sistemas gubernamentales y líderes políticos, de la Primera República, para el restablecimiento de Alfonso XII como rey, a la Segunda República, que comenzó en 1931. Esta Segunda República fue un gobierno más liberal que la monarquía anterior, y los gobernantes establecieron …

Shakespeare And Cervantes Are Dead: The Construction Of Fiction And Reality In Hamlet And Don Quixote, Joanna Parypinski
Shakespeare And Cervantes Are Dead: The Construction Of Fiction And Reality In Hamlet And Don Quixote, Joanna Parypinski
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
The reason that Hamlet and Don Quixote can be studied so thoroughly on the poststructuralist notion of a false or constructed reality is because they were both works far ahead of their time, often reflecting extremely postmodernist ideas. Don Quixote is generally considered the first modern novel, and Hamlet is also identified with the beginning of the modern age (Oort 319). Yet beyond this, these authors play games with the reader and with the structure of the fiction itself, which would fit sensibly in a 20th or 21st century novel rather than an early 17th century work. These new methods …
Romanticism In The Novels And Legends Of Gertudis Gomez De Avellaneda, Jean W. Mander
Romanticism In The Novels And Legends Of Gertudis Gomez De Avellaneda, Jean W. Mander
Graduate Thesis Collection
Not withstainding the adverse criticism given the prose works of Gertudis Gomez de Avellaneda by such men as Fitzmaurice-Kelly as less notable, I have found her novels and tales to be worthy of consideration. They are extremely romantic, some being full of the fantastic and grotesque, while others are historical similar to those of Sir Walter Scott. These romantic novels have a genuine and natural charm which makes them very pleasing to read. Most of them have been called sentimental tras , but still they contain numerous qualities of romanticism at its best. It will be my duty and pleasure …
