Sarmiento's Vida De Horacio Mann: Translation, Importation, And Entanglement, Thomas Genova

Spanish Publications

This article focuses on the broad sociopolitical implications of Sarmiento's translations of Northern Hemispheric texts and ideas into the South American context in Las escuelas and the author's correspondence with Mary Mann. Exploring the relationship between the two reformers—both of whom were interested in using education to prepare nonwhites for the duties of citizenship in a broadly defined "South"—in order to examine the entangled history of Argentina during the War of the Triple Alliance and the early Reconstruction-era United States, this article shows how Sarmiento puts his relationship with Mann to creative use in his effort to incorporate Argentina's popular …

L2 Perception Of Spanish Palatal Variants Across Different Tasks, Christine Shea, Jeffrey Renaud

Spanish: Faculty Scholarship & Creative Works

While considerable dialectal variation exists, almost all varieties of Spanish exhibit some sort of alternation in terms of the palatal obstruent segments. Typically, the palatal affricate [ɟʝ] tends to occur in word onset following a pause and in specific linear phonotactic environments. The palatal fricative [ʝ] tends to occur in syllable onset in other contexts. We show that listeners’ perceptual sensitivity to the palatal alternation depends upon the task and exposure to Spanish input. For native Spanish listeners, the palatal alternation boosts segmentation accuracy on an artificial speech segmentation task and also reduces latencies on a phonotactically-conditioned elision task. L2 …

Intertextos y guiños del cine negro de Hitchcock en Queda la noche

En mi comunicación se analiza la incorporación de elementos de dos clásicos del cine negro, Vértigo y Extraños en un tren, de Alfred Hitchcock, en la novela contemporánea Queda la noche, de Soledad Puértolas. Mediante una serie de guiños al lector, la autora pone a su alcance un código reconocible que le permite ascender al plano de la creación del texto. Consigue de este modo, por un lado, la ruptura con la diferencia jerárquica entre lector y escritor, y por otro, la destrucción de la frontera …

An Overview Of Ladino: The Origins, Survival And Resurgence Of Judeo-Spanish, Rachel S. Goodman

MA TESOL Collection

This paper will examine the historic and linguistic roots of the development of the language of Ladino, also referred to as Judeo-Spanish. The paper explores the early Jewish community in medieval Spain and the development of a dialect of Spanish and Hebrew. The paper will also examine the results of the community’s expulsion from Spain in the 1490s and the consequential Diaspora. The paper analyzes the linguistic components of Ladino and the role of print media, both journalistic and creative, in its survival. The paper also discusses the resurgence in interest in Ladino since the Holocaust and its current uses …

Carlos Saura Y La Relativización De La Historia Y La Memoria Antes De La Transición, Luis Guadaño

World Languages and Cultures Faculty Publications

(First paragraph) La idea principal del presente trabajo es la de intentar darle una nueva perspectiva a tres películas de Saura- El jardín de las delicias (1970), La prima Angélica (1973) y Cría cuervos (1975)- que las pondría en relación con el espíritu de la transición y no solamente con la oposición política al regimen de Franco. La crítica ha analizado estas películas principalmente desde una perspectiva que hace referencia al context histórico-político específico de su aparición dentro de la dictadura de Franco. Así, por ejemplo, se han interpretado como los últimos coletazos críticos al Régimen poco antes de su …

Posthumous Voices In The Antología De La Literatura Fantástica: Santiago Dabove, Horacio Quiroga, And Edgar Allan Poe, Jose J. Alvarez

School of American and Global Studies Faculty Publications with a Focus on Modern Languages and Global Studies

Este artículo reconstruye el concepto de lo fantástico esbozado en el prólogo de Adolfo Bioy Casares a la Antología de la literatura fantástica y examina algunas de las inclusiones y omisiones más representativas de la colección. Debido a que Bioy incurre en imprecisiones y contradicciones al teorizar lo fantástico, este trabajo parte del análisis de un ejemplo concreto, “Ser polvo”, de Santiago Dabove. Aunque Dabove emplea varias de las estrategias que Bioy condena y recurre a fuentes que la Antología no admite, su narración es ejemplar, especialmente cuando se compara con “Más allá”, de Horacio Quiroga. El análisis de las …

Valuing Governance, Beatriz Trigo

Spanish Faculty Publications

Book Summary: As has been abundantly documented in the popular and academic press, the humanities are facing challenging times marked by national debate regarding the importance of the humanities in higher education, program and budget cuts, and an ever-decreasing number of tenure-track jobs. In addition, the humanities face quite literally a quantification of their value as the Academy adopts a more corporate mindset.

This volume provides advice to professionals in the humanities on how to forge a useful, compelling, and productive career. The book’s 13 chapters address professional approaches to developing and maintaining an active research agenda, fomenting the ideals …

Jorge Luis Borges’S Poetic Response To The Arab-Israeli Six Day War, Stephen Silverstein

Hipertexto

At variance with the pro-Arab stance that most Latin American intellectuals assumed during the Arab-Israeli Six-Day War (June 5-10, 1967), Jorge Luis Borges’s life-long connection to “lo hebreo,” as he called it, translated into “an immediate taking of sides” with Israel (“Autobiographical Essay” 257). As war erupted between Israel and its Egyptian, Jordanian, and Syrian neighbors, Borges expressed his felt kinship to the Jewish state in the poem “A ISRAEL.” In the war’s aftermath he penned a second poem, “ISRAEL.” Whereas the Jewish motifs that proliferate in Borges’s prose have been well studied, his poetry has received much less critical …

Somos y Estamos

Welcome to our Somos y Estamos 2014 newsletter edition. The past year was marked by wonderful achievements on the part of our students, alumni, faculty and staff. It was a year of much gain, as we welcomed Dr. Mercedes Tubino Blanco to the department to teach linguistics and coordinate the 2000-2010 levels of basic Spanish (see the bio-sketch below for more information about her.) It was also a year of a significant loss with the passing of Dr. Carolyn Harris, our Somos y Estamos editor, last September. She left a lasting mark among all of us who knew her. In …

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 …
