Cine E Inmigración: Espacios De Inclusión Y Exclusión, Ana M. López-Aguilera
Department of Modern Languages and Literatures: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
El tema de la inmigración representa una novedad para la sociedad española. Aunque habituada a las visitas de turistas extranjeros, la llegada de personas cuya estancia responde a motivos económicos y laborales (no ociosos) y que se prevé más prolongada, ha creado una nueva situación social. El cine ha respondido a este cambio incluyendo personajes inmigrantes en las obras y planteando en las mismas cuestiones relacionadas con el tema. Este tipo de cine se denomina “de inmigración” o “de inmigrantes” y muestra una preocupación de los directores por tratar contenidos sociales en sus obras. No obstante, existe una tendencia a …

Using Ning For Conversation Partner Networks, Krista Bittenbender Royal
INTO Faculty and Staff Publications
Providing opportunities for conversation practice is one way that an IEP can help students improve their English as well as enhance their engagement in the language learning process. However, matching individual language learners to fluent English speakers can be difficult and time consuming. This workshop will introduce participants involved in setting up such interactions to Ning, a free online social networking platform which can facilitate the creation of individualized networks. Participants will gain insights into how one IEP used Ning to connect ELLs to university students interested in having conversation partners.

Masculinities In Conflict: Representations Of The Other In Narrative During The Spanish Civil War, Iker González-Allende
Spanish Language and Literature Papers
In this article, I analyze the representation of the Other in three texts that were published during the Spanish Civil War: El infierno azul (1938?), by Republican Isidro R. Mendieta, and two closely related works by Falangist Jacinto Miquelarena: Cómo fui ejecutado en Madrid (1937) and El otro mundo: La vida en las embajadas de Madrid (1938). Although these texts adhere to different political ideologies and are stylistically very divergent, they are similar in their constant criticisms of the enemy. Furthermore, both Republicans and rebels tend to depict the enemy as possessing an inadequate masculinity. He is described, on one …

The presidency of Jose Luis Zapatero Rodriguez has seen significant legisla tion in Spain that includes the legalization of same-sex marriage in 2005 and La ley de la memoria historica in 2007.1 Upon consideration of the changes in Spain during the first decade of the twenty-first century, we as critics must pause to consider how literature and film respond to the topics of homosexuality and history. Since the death of Franco in 1975, writers and directors have created a significant body of films and literature that uncovers previously prohibited topics in order to make, "the once hidden visible" (Creekmur …

Abundan en la comedia española del Siglo de Oro las mujeres protagonistas que no se contentan con las restricciones y limitaciones impuestas sobre ellas por la sociedad patriarcal. De Rosaura en La vida es sueño de Calderón a La monja alférez de Juan Pérez de Montalbán, es frecuentemente la mujer la que promueve la acción y determina los perfiles del drama.

U.S. Latinos’ Use Of Written Spanish: Realities And Aspirations, Laura Callahan

This paper reports on an investigation of writing in Spanish in the lives of U.S. Latinos. Twenty-two semi-structured interviews were conducted with informants recruited from among students and former students of high school and college Spanish courses. The interviews were transcribed and coded for concepts and emergent themes (Rubin & Rubin, 2005; Bogdan & Biklen, 1992). Some themes that emerged relate to what U.S. Latinos do with written Spanish and what they would like to be able to do; other themes include classroom experiences, extra-academic avenues of acquisition, the social position of varieties of Spanish, language maintenance, and intergenerational loss. …
