This essay was inspired by my various dormitory experiences. I feel it is a rather good guide to living with someone new and to the beginning of the college experience. Avoid the same mistakes I made!

La Competición De Denison, Danielle Torpey

Students at Denison become competitive about the sacrifices they make for their studies. The harder students work, and the less they sleep, the more credit they get in the competition. The irony is that the person who wins ends up being the most exhausted and cannot pass his classes.

“A Él” De Mis Sueños, Catherine Mehta
Collage
This short story is derived from the Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda poem “A él.” It incorporates phrases from the poem and develops them into a concrete plot. It explores the literary and personal interpretations of a poem in the form of prose and imitates the style and narrative emphasis of the original work.

Vigilancia Y Dictadura En Los Vigilantes De Diamela Eltit, Diana Dixon
Collage
The Chilean author, Diamela Eltit, is known as a writer who discusses oppression of women and the historical-cultural conditions that Chile has lived in over the past thirty years. Her literary style creates an opportunity for writers and artists to express and demonstrate political resistance in an obviously defiant manner. In much of her writing, Eltit examines society after the coup d'état in 1973 and the dictatorship of Pinochet in Chile. She evokes a vivid image of life during the dictatorship, or in the case of her novel, Los vigilantes, under the effects of dictatorial oppression.
The novel, Los vigilantes, …

El Padre Mío Y Su Familia Maldita, Ryan Ahlrich
Collage
In this essay, I interpret the experimental film El padre mío (1985) by Diamela Eltit and Loty. The film explores the symbolic father figure of Dictator Augusto Pinochet. Cinematic techniques are used to emphasize his changing role in Chilean society. I focus on the concept of “family”—that is, as a symbol of Chilean national identity—as it transitions through the chronology found within El padre mío. At first, the elimination of individualism within the Pinochet-headed “family” allows for a clear understanding of its nature and the inherent components of uniformity, conformity, structure, and censorship. When Pinochet is removed from this hypothetical …

Lumpérica: La Teatralización Del Estado, Janine Waranowicz
Collage
In the contemporary Chilean novel, Lumpérica, author Diamela Eltit makes a strong statement about the brutality of Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship in Chile and the effects of this rule over the Chilean people and society. Within the text, Eltit cleverly disguises various components of the dictatorship into theatrical symbols in order to create a sense of theatricality about the “production” put on by the dictatorship. The imagery and symbolism show the interrogating nature of the dictatorship, as well as the physical and mental constraints placed upon the country’s citizens throughout this era. In Lumpérica, one is able to feel the tension …
