Reaching Out: The Basque Transnational Body In The Poetry Of Kirmen Uribe, Enrique Álvarez, Ester Hernández-Esteban
Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature
In this paper we explore the contribution of Kirmen Uribe, a Basque writer, artist and cultural activist, to the process of political reconciliation in the Basque country, a socially transforming compromise brought about by the dissolution of the Basque terrorist organization ETA in October 20th, 2011. Uribe achieved literary recognition and public notoriety within the Iberian cultural landscape with the publication of his novel Bilbao-New York-Bilbao in 2008, for which he received the Spanish National Literature Prize for Narrative in the following year.

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
This dissertation analyzes the portrayals of the female protagonists of three Spanish American biographical novels in an exploration of identity formation within feminist literary expressions. Amidst the resurgence of auto/biographical genres, there has been an effort to revive the stories of the historically maligned, and biographical novels about women have become increasingly prevalent.

Theses and Dissertations
El hambre es un sentimiento que puede controlar de manera considerable el cuerpo humano y cuando se encuentra exacerbada por circunstancias de supervivencia, el hambre se convierte en la motivación principal que circunscribe todas sus acciones. Esta consecuencia causada por el hambre extrema es el foco principal de dos obras canónicas del siglo XVI escritas en lados opuestos del océano atlántico: Lazarillo de Tormes (1554) y Naufragios (1555). Las dos obras requieren especial atención no tan solo en lo que dicen los narradores, sino también en lo que hacen y las razones detrás de sus acciones. De este modo, si …
