Subjugated Bodies, Normalized Subjects: Representations Of Power In The Panamanian Literature Of Roberto Díaz Herrera, Rose Marie Tapia And Mauro Zúñiga Araúz, Sara Escobar-Wiercinski 2014 Wayne State University

Subjugated Bodies, Normalized Subjects: Representations Of Power In The Panamanian Literature Of Roberto Díaz Herrera, Rose Marie Tapia And Mauro Zúñiga Araúz, Sara Escobar-Wiercinski

Wayne State University Dissertations

This dissertation examines the dissemination of power represented in the works of Panamanian writers Roberto Díaz Herrera, Rose Marie Tapia and Mauro Zúñiga Araúz. My work focuses on two important periods in Panama's history: the repressive dictatorial era of Manuel Noriega and the post-dictatorial era during which subjugation and power operate in subtle ways, through institutions, mechanisms of civil society, and globalization. The primary sources are Díaz Herrera's testimony, and the novels of Tapia and Zúñiga Araúz. In my analysis, I draw upon the notions of power, subjugation and normalization developed by the French philosoher Michel Foucault. I also draw …


El Manuscrito De 'La Casa De Asterion': Mosaico De Un Proceso De Escritura, Maria Laura Bocaz-Leiva 2014 University of Mary Washington

El Manuscrito De 'La Casa De Asterion': Mosaico De Un Proceso De Escritura, Maria Laura Bocaz-Leiva

Modern Languages & Literatures Articles

Los materiales preredaccionales del escritor Jorge Luis Borges son escasos y de dificil acceso. Daniel Balderston, en "Los manuscritos de Borges: imaginar una realidad más compleja", comenta las múltiples dificultades que puede enfrentar el investigador que se decida a estudiar el proceso de escritura de algún texto: dispersos en diferentes depósitos, celosamente guardados por coleccionistas o particulares, ocasionalmente a la venta por sumas extravagantes, a veces sólo disponibles a través de una edición facsimilar; siguen siendo en deñnjtiva una fuente de estudio anhelada y esquiva, una "terra incognita."

El Wavering Imaginativo Y La Conciencia Imaginante En Los Cuentos De Marvel Moreno Y Angela Carter, Alejandra Olarte 2014 University at Albany, State University of New York

El Wavering Imaginativo Y La Conciencia Imaginante En Los Cuentos De Marvel Moreno Y Angela Carter, Alejandra Olarte

Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)

In this dissertation, I explore the short stories of Colombian writer Marvel Moreno and English writer Angela Carter. I propose that the authors' works share a dual conceptualization of the notion of imagination -- imaginative wavering and imagining consciousness. These conceptualizations constitute interpretative frameworks to comparatively examine textual strategies and themes within the authors' works of fiction. A fundamental characteristic of both imaginative wavering and imagining consciousness is movement. With the former, movement implies a constant oscillation between intradiegetic reality and rational thinking, as exposed in the stories. With the latter, movement entails the act of grasping the reality that …


Preservation Or Progression : Indo-Trinidadian Cultural Fluidity As Seen Through The Works Of V.S. Naipaul And Shani Mootoo, Mohua Chakraborti 2014 University at Albany, State University of New York

Preservation Or Progression : Indo-Trinidadian Cultural Fluidity As Seen Through The Works Of V.S. Naipaul And Shani Mootoo, Mohua Chakraborti

Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)

The aim of this thesis is to clarify and analyze the arguments about national and marginal identity made by two Indo-Trinidadian authors, V.S. Naipaul and Shani Mootoo. Naipaul argues that Trinidad as a nation cannot survive because it must be dependent on colonial rule. He argues that Indo-Trinidadian's are neither British nor Indian, and they lack identity and stability. In contrast, Mootoo argues that Trinidad is fully capable of establishing its own identity, and that Indo-Trinidadian culture does not need colonization nor India to define it. She argues that culture is a fluid and constantly changing idea. Mootoo recognizes the …


El Ex-Hombre: Masculinidad Y Exilio En La Poesía De Juan José Domenchina, Iker González-Allende 2014 University of Nebraska-Lincoln

El Ex-Hombre: Masculinidad Y Exilio En La Poesía De Juan José Domenchina, Iker González-Allende

Spanish Language and Literature Papers

This article analyzes the representation of masculinity in Juan José Domenchina’s poetry of exile. The article argues that, during his last 20 years of life in exile (1939–1959), Domenchina shows in his poetry a contradictory masculinity. On the one hand, he reaffirms normative masculinity by rejecting pompous demonstrations of suffering, describing himself as stoic, tough, strong-willed and independent, and praising nostalgically Castilian men’s hypermasculine behavior. On the other hand, Domenchina’s poetry also testifies to his feelings of emasculation, since he calls himself an “ex-man”, shows his masculine fragmentation with the figures of the doppelganger or shadow, identifies himself with a …


El Erotismo En La Obra De Rebeca Uribe (1934-1941), Leonor Alejandra Silva Lomelí 2014 University of Texas at El Paso

El Erotismo En La Obra De Rebeca Uribe (1934-1941), Leonor Alejandra Silva Lomelí

Open Access Theses & Dissertations

La poesía de la escritora Rebeca Uribe (1911-1949) pertenece a un corpus literario que requiere ser atendido por la crítica. La presente investigación tiene como objetivos dar a conocer las composiciones eróticas de esta autora mediante el análisis crítico y metodológico, así como brindar un primer acercamiento que fomente estudios posteriores. En esta investigación se propone que los poemas eróticos de Rebeca Uribe presentan una voz lírica que se entrega totalmente al ser amado con la finalidad de ser correspondida con la misma intensidad, y practica una sexualidad liberada que se manifiesta en la experimentación de relaciones erótico-amorosas de tipo …


Acoustic Epistemologies And Aurality In Sor Juana Inés De La Cruz, Sarah E. Finley 2014 University of Kentucky

Acoustic Epistemologies And Aurality In Sor Juana Inés De La Cruz, Sarah E. Finley

Theses and Dissertations--Hispanic Studies

This dissertation considers the intersection of aurality and visuality in seventeenth-century New Spanish poet Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz’s (1648/1651-95) acoustico-poetic discourse. Prior scholarship has focused either on the author’s engagement with Western music theory and compositional practices or else the role of musical references in her works. This has resulted in the marginalization of Sor Juana’s engagement with sound through disciplines that are not strictly musical or poetic, including: acoustics, cognitive theory and visual art. I address these lacunae by considering such concepts as echo, reflection, Ear, Voice, musica poetica (links between music and rhetoric) and musical pathos …


The Strange Loop: Paradoxical Hierarchies In Borges's Fictions, Jessica Erin Beebe 2014 Seattle Pacific University

The Strange Loop: Paradoxical Hierarchies In Borges's Fictions, Jessica Erin Beebe

Honors Projects

In Gödel, Escher, and Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid, Douglas Hofstadter studies how three great minds created their own version of what he calls the “Strange Loop.” The Strange Loop is a paradoxical construction, a shift from one level of abstraction to another that somehow gives rise to a closed, eternal cycle. In other words, despite one’s sense of departing ever further from one’s origin, one winds up, to one’s shock, exactly where one had started out. I argue that this paradoxical model is prevalent in Jorge Luis Borges’s short stories and that by applying Hofstadter’s model to Borges’s …


[Introduction To] Escrituras A Ras De Suelo: Crónica Latinoamericana Del Siglo Xx, Marcela Aguilar, Claudia Darrigrandi, Mariela Méndez, Antonia Viu 2014 University of Richmond

[Introduction To] Escrituras A Ras De Suelo: Crónica Latinoamericana Del Siglo Xx, Marcela Aguilar, Claudia Darrigrandi, Mariela Méndez, Antonia Viu

Bookshelf

El proyecto de publicar una colección de artículos sobre la crónica latinoamericana aparecida en el siglo xx, principalmente entre 1930 y 1970, intenta hacerse cargo de una producción mucho menos estudiada que la crónica modernista o que la crónica de las últimas décadas, problematizando las definiciones y fundamentos que se le han atribuido al género a partir de esas tradiciones. Más que una nueva revisión de tales concepciones de la crónica, lo que el lector encontrará en los escritos agrupados en las distintas secciones de este libro son elementos parciales y problemas concretos que surgen en muy distintos contextos y …


Crítica Contextural: El Corazón Del Instante De Alberto Blanco: Ensayo De Un Método, Carlos Zamora-Zapata 2014 University of Kentucky

Crítica Contextural: El Corazón Del Instante De Alberto Blanco: Ensayo De Un Método, Carlos Zamora-Zapata

Theses and Dissertations--Hispanic Studies

The most common approaches to arranged Poetic Collection are the chronological and the bibliographical orders, that is, the ones that privileges a book that normally would be called an anthology: the arrangements of poems following the order of the compositions of the poems (chronological), or the order of previous publications (bibliographical). "El corazón del instante" (The Heart of the Instant, 1998) by the Mexican poet Alberto Blanco (Mexico City, 1951) is a collection of twelve books of poems in one volume. The books in the collection --or the “chapters”, as Alberto Blanco call them in his “Introductory Note” of the …


Sisma, Paul Jesus Guillen Delgado 2014 University of Texas at El Paso

Sisma, Paul Jesus Guillen Delgado

Open Access Theses & Dissertations

En Sobre la violencia: seis reflexiones marginales, Slavoj Zizek cuenta la anécdota de un hombre sospechoso de robar en el trabajo. Cada tarde los vigilantes inspeccionan su carretilla, pero nunca encuentran nada. Un día descubren el ardid: lo que el trabajador está robando son las carretillas. He tratado en este libro titulado SISMA de actuar como ese obrero frente al lenguaje y el Poder. El lenguaje que es una manifestación humana debe ser "robado" de los aparatos ideológicos del Estado (Althusser) y del Poder (Foucault). Mi investigación poetica se centra en el terremoto que asoló parte del Perú en el …


Literatura Sobre La Frontera Norte Mexicana: Comparación Y Análisis Del Discurso Pragmático, Emily Celeste Vázquez Enríquez 2014 University of Texas at El Paso

Literatura Sobre La Frontera Norte Mexicana: Comparación Y Análisis Del Discurso Pragmático, Emily Celeste Vázquez Enríquez

Open Access Theses & Dissertations

En este trabajo se comparan cuatro novelas que incluyen a la frontera del norte de México entre sus páginas. El punto de diferencia del cual la comparación parte es el origen de los autores. Lo anterior se debe a que en la tradición del trabajo crítico que ha intentado entender y definir la literatura de la zona, uno de los principales puntos de debate refiere al cuestionamiento de si importa la pertenencia de los escritores al lugar narrado. Mientras hay críticos y académicos que afirman que las obras de la literatura norfronteriza mexicana son únicamente aquéllas escritas por autores de …
