Literatura Y Política En La Crónica Modernistas De Manuel Gutiérrez Nájera, Azucena Hernandez-Ramirez 2011 University of Texas at El Paso

Literatura Y Política En La Crónica Modernistas De Manuel Gutiérrez Nájera, Azucena Hernandez-Ramirez

Open Access Theses & Dissertations

En esta tesis propongo abordar algunas crónicas del escritor modernista Manuel Gutiérrez Nájera (1859-1895) como un espacio discursivo altamente ideologizado en el que se articulan literatura y política. Quiero demostrar que la labor periodística de Gutiérrez Nájera, ejemplificada en la crónica modernista, está ligada aún a la función política romántica previa a la autonomización de las letras, en la que el escritor pone su pluma al servicio de la formación de ciudadanos. En su caso, la crónica modernista funge como un dispositivo disciplinario, si bien ya no legitimado en el proceso de construcción de la nación, sí autorizado por el …

Modelos Masculinos Y Violencia En Sanctuary Y Crónica De Una Muerte Anunciada, Cesar Valverde 2011 Illinois Wesleyan University

Modelos Masculinos Y Violencia En Sanctuary Y Crónica De Una Muerte Anunciada, Cesar Valverde

Scholarship

This essay analyzes how two novels, William Faulkner’s Sanctuary and Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s Chronicle of a Death Foretold, present masculine models that juxtapose power and violence during times of social crisis. Both novels present violent masculinities that overcome peaceful masculinities, in conflicts that result in murders and rapes; but rather than acuse the individuals responsible for the violent acts, the texts point out the social mechanisms that inexorably move the authors of the crimes. In both works we also see violence against women and resulting public deaths of men wrongly accused, which happen due to an inability to adapt to …

Cadáveres En El Armario: El Policial Palimpséstico En La Literatura Argentina Contemporánea, Osvaldo Di Paolo 2011 University of Kentucky

Cadáveres En El Armario: El Policial Palimpséstico En La Literatura Argentina Contemporánea, Osvaldo Di Paolo

University of Kentucky Doctoral Dissertations

This dissertation investigates the emergence of detective fiction and film from 1994 to the present. The corpus appears during the government of Carlos Menem and its intent to insert Argentina into a globalized economy. Poverty, insecurity and violence prevail in the Argentine society and ten detective novels, based on real-life murders, appear in 1994. Consequently, I explore each murder case, beginning with the newspaper article, and trace its transformation into short fiction, novel and/or film. The articles about the homicides follow the tendencies of the sensationalist yellow press. The writers and film directors, however, transform those stories, following and also …


Hybrid Latina Chick Lit: The Expression Of Sexuality In The Works Of Alisa Valdes Rodriguez, James C. Yarberry 2010 University of Arkansas Little Rock

Hybrid Latina Chick Lit: The Expression Of Sexuality In The Works Of Alisa Valdes Rodriguez, James C. Yarberry

Theses and Dissertations

An examination of literary background and the expression of sexuality in The Dirty Girls Social Club by Alisa Valdes Rodriguez indicates that not only does the writing of this author further the traditions and evolution of Latina and Latin American women's literature, but it also seeks to break barriers with its forthright treatment of sexuality. In her novel, Valdes Rodriguez shows the female character as subject. Her incorporation of pop culture and chick lit themes has brought about the creation of a new "Hybrid Latina Chick Literature" that advances against sexual repression in discourse, literature and society, and that promotes …


Embedding Latin American Archives Into Library Instruction And Practice, Marisol Ramos 2010 University of Connecticut - Storrs

Embedding Latin American Archives Into Library Instruction And Practice, Marisol Ramos

UConn Library Presentations

Being both a librarian and an archivist/curator, it is one of my jobs to find ways to embed primary sources into my library instruction. This paper discuss the ways that I have found to integrate the Latin American and Caribbean archival holdings that I manage in the Thomas J. Dodd Research Center into my library services. I will discuss briefly some of the strategies, such as digitization projects, LibGuides and Show and Tells events, that I have used to bridge my archival work with my library work to provide better services to my constituents.
