Gaze Of The Outsider/Insider: Us Latino Authors Writing Of Latin America, Amrita Das 2011 University of North Carolina Wilmington

Gaze Of The Outsider/Insider: Us Latino Authors Writing Of Latin America, Amrita Das

Hipertexto

A growing number of US Latino authors—born or raised primarily in the United States— are finding new locales for their narratives, which draw attention to serious socio-political problems of these countries. These countries happen to be either their birth country or their parents’ native homeland. This article is a preliminary observation of an exciting new area of literature based on the texts of three US Latino authors, namely Julia Alvarez, Achy Obejas, and Daniel Alarcón. Furthermore, it is a study of the possible ramifications of such a body of literature—both its problems and positive effects.


“Knaller-Sex Für Alle”: Popfeminist Body Politics In Lady Bitch Ray, Charlotte Roche, And Sarah Kuttner, Carrie Smith-Prei 2011 University of Alberta

“Knaller-Sex Für Alle”: Popfeminist Body Politics In Lady Bitch Ray, Charlotte Roche, And Sarah Kuttner, Carrie Smith-Prei

Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature

Germany has seen a recent upsurge in publications proclaiming that feminism is again an urgent matter for a new generation of women. Faced with the reactionary demography debate and the hegemony of second-wave feminism, young writers, musicians, journalists, and critics call for new models of feminism relevant to women today. As one of these viable models, popfeminism draws on dominant trends in mass culture, on pop’s forty-year history as a cultural prefix in Germany, and on traditional feminism in order to create a new, ostensibly apolitical, feminist subculture based in self-stylization and individual autonomy. Shared by many popfeminist sources is …


“Viajera Con El Vaso Vacío.” La Experiencia Parisina De Alejandra Pizarnik, Ilka Kressner 2011 University at Albany, State University of New York

“Viajera Con El Vaso Vacío.” La Experiencia Parisina De Alejandra Pizarnik, Ilka Kressner

Languages, Literatures and Cultures Faculty Scholarship

La autora porteña Alejandra Pizarnik (1936-72), como muchos otros artistas latinoamericanos sintió la atracción de París. Y como muchos otros, pasó unos años en la ciudad letrada par excellence, del 1960-64. ¿Cómo la percibió? ¿Qué marca dejó el ambiente vivido en su obra literaria? El propósito de este ensayo consiste en trazar y analizar las descripciones de París en las cartas, poesías y notas de diarios que escribe Pizarnik durante sus años parisinos. Llama la atención que la presentación de la ciudad varía considerablemente según el género literario que utiliza la autora. En sus cartas, describe París como un …

The Codex Of Tlaxcala: Indigenous Petitions And The Discourse Of Heterarchy., Jeanne Gillespie

JEANNE GILLESPIE

As the colony of Nueva España emerged, the indigenous Tlaxcalans, who had supported Cortés in the defeat of the Mexica-Tenochca and their allies, developed detailed narratives to document their participation in the colonial endeavor. These newest and most fervent Spanish colonial subjects accompanied explorations and eventually were pressed into relocation to establish colonial settlements in areas where the indigenous population was not as supportive of the European settlements. Tlaxcalans accompanied expeditions to Central America, the Pacific coast, northward along the Gulf Coast and to the northwest into what is today the US Southwest, including the ill-fated and extremely controversial trip …

Variationist Approaches: External Factors Conditioning Variation In Spanish Phonology, Antonio Medina-Rivera 2011 Cleveland State University

Variationist Approaches: External Factors Conditioning Variation In Spanish Phonology, Antonio Medina-Rivera

World Languages, Literatures, and Cultures Faculty Publications

This chapter will focus on the external factors conditioning phonological variation. I will introduce the traditional factors to analyze social variation (e.g. sex, age, social class) and stylistic variation (careful vs. casual speech), as well as other possible factors not fully explored in Spanish. These other factors are mostly inspired by Allan Bell's model of language style as audience design (1984), and Rickford and McNair-Knox's incorporation of addressee and topic of conversation as two important factors to analyze variation (1994).

Argentine Novel After The Recovery Of Democracy: 1983-2006, Karina Elizabeth Vázquez

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications

Argentine fiction written after the last military dictatorship (1976-1983) can be classified into two major strands: one which started during the 1960s and continues to this day, and another that began in the mid-1990s and has strengthened in recent years.

Monstruosa Belleza’: El Mestizaje Metamórfico En Terra Nostra De Carlos Fuentes., Antonio Barrenechea

English, Linguistics, and Communication (Legacy)

Irónicamente, fue en el coloquio estructuralista “Los lenguajes críticos y las ciencias del hombre” que tuvo lugar en la Universidad de Johns Hopkins en 1966, donde Jacques Derrida inició a los Estados Unidos por primera vez en el posestructuralismo. Al final de su ponencia “La estructura, el signo y el juego en el discurso de las ciencias humanas”, la cual ya exigía en el posestructuralismo como una rectificación de las teorías estructuralistas, esbozó su teoría de desconstrucción como la gestación de un monstruo a punto de saltar al mundo desprevenido.


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 …
