La Búsqueda De Identidad Y Toma De Conciencia De Los Cuatro Personajes Principales En Las Obras Demasiados Héroes Y La Multitud Errante De Laura Restrepo, Mauricio Garcia Vargas 2011 Minnesota State University - Mankato

La Búsqueda De Identidad Y Toma De Conciencia De Los Cuatro Personajes Principales En Las Obras Demasiados Héroes Y La Multitud Errante De Laura Restrepo, Mauricio Garcia Vargas

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

In the following thesis I analyze the search for identity and the development of an awareness of self in two novels by Colombian writer Laura Restrepo - La multitud errante (2001) and Demasiados héroes (2009). The four major characters in these two novels suffer "displacement" and have to construct a new sense of self through reflection. Viktor Frankl and others provide the theoretical background for my investigation of how each of these main characters finds a path to self. The importance of the study is that the analysis demonstrates how physical, social, and emotional displacement leads to suffering. As Frankl …


Lo Barroco Lezamesco En Paradiso, Leonardo Venta 2011 University of South Florida

Lo Barroco Lezamesco En Paradiso, Leonardo Venta

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

In this thesis I argue that José Lezama Lima's Paradiso is unique among Latin-American novels of the 1960s because it is a hybrid of literary genres - narrative and essay, as well as a "poetic system." Through an open literary framework, the author explores the essence of "cubanía" though language that is both colloquial and elaborate, both devoted to traditions and aiming for transgressions: a novel that reaches for the pinnacle of neobaroque prose. To sustain my argument, I have performed an exhaustive exegesis of my primary text, as well as extensive external research in secondary texts of the highest …


El Género Detectivesco Y Su Representación En La Novela Mexicana Del Sigloxxi, Maribel Colorado-García 2011 Western Michigan University

El Género Detectivesco Y Su Representación En La Novela Mexicana Del Sigloxxi, Maribel Colorado-García

Dissertations

This dissertation analyzes the resurgence of detective fiction in Mexican novéis of the twenty-first century and focuses on the writers' artistic intentions in creating complex texts that contrast the less experimental literature of the Post-Boom. The revival in the popularity of the crime novel in México has emerged, in part, because of the deep societal problems the country faces (such as political corruption, drug cartels, and economic crises), and the sense of powerlessness often experienced by its citizens when confronting such problems. From an aesthetic standpoint, a renewed approach to this genre springs from the novelists' constant quest to represent …


Alvar Nuñez Cabeza De Vaca Y Sus Narrativas Sobre La Exploracion Del Rio De La Plata (1540-1545), Maria del Pilar Lopez-Castilla 2011 Western Michigan University

Alvar Nuñez Cabeza De Vaca Y Sus Narrativas Sobre La Exploracion Del Rio De La Plata (1540-1545), Maria Del Pilar Lopez-Castilla

Dissertations

Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca remains one of the most enigmatic and audiences on both sides of the Atlantic, from the ruling elite to the wider public, are given the tools to understand and shape the new spheres of public life. Writing becomes a powerful tool in the shaping of a new reality, and as such, it must be studied with extreme care, so that a modern reader is able to discern where history ends and fiction or manipulation of history begin. The contact and constant negotiations for power between the two worlds cause a restructuring of the old discursive …


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.
