Translation And Transcription Of A Passage From The Baduem Manuscript: An Eighteenth-Century Portuguese Embassy To China, Annalyn Beus
Theses and Dissertations
This project is a diplomatic transcription and English translation of a passage from an 18-century manuscript that chronicles a remarkable Portuguese embassy to China (Macau). The embassy embarked from Lisbon in February 1752, sailing in a luxuriously outfitted ship (Nossa Senhora da Conceição e Lusitânia Grande), in convoy with a warship (Nossa Senhora das Brotas). The English translation is important because it makes the account accessible to scholars who lack familiarity with Portuguese.This voyage to China is remarkable in light of the long history of maritime loss by the Portuguese. Although the normal projected loss of life on this route …

Appropriating Juan Rulfo: The Film Score Of Los Confines As Adaptation, Catherine Mary Day
Theses and Dissertations
Mitl Valdez's film Los confines (1987) is an adaptation of several works of fiction by the Mexican author Juan Rulfo. The director chose to adapt two short stories ("Talpa" and "¡Diles que no me maten!") and an episode from the author's first novel, Pedro Páramo. Valdez's intent was to "capturar el sentido" of the Jaliscan author or, in other words, to remain faithful to certain elements of his writing while adjusting them to the filmic medium. The musical score of Los confines is the method of appropriation that this study endeavors to investigate, since it shares common themes, metaphors, and …

Nísia Floresta: Setting A Foundation For Feminist Literature In Brazil, Rachel Davidson Skinner

Peruvian Political Theatre And Its Connections To Human Rights Movements,

University of Minnesota
Peruvian Political Theatre And Its Connections To Human Rights Movements, Luis Ramos-Garcia
Journal of Global Initiatives: Policy, Pedagogy, Perspective
This essay describes and theorizes the work of contemporary Peruvian theatre as defined by the political atmosphere that reigned from 1970s to the early 21st century. From the beginning, this type of political theatre served different masters and was produced for different consumers. For example, Shining Path Guerrilla used theatre (1978-1983) in order to recruit soldiers for its war against the government; on the other hand Peruvian groups used theatre to protest against human rights abuses by the government and communist guerrillas alike; and even the government itself used performance to convince the public that it was defeating leftist guerrillas. …

An Understanding Of Deep Rivers Through An Analysis Of Three Of Its Main Symbols, Vincent Spina
Journal of Global Initiatives: Policy, Pedagogy, Perspective
The aim of"An Understanding of Deep Rivers" is to analyze some of the iconographic uses in the novel from the point of view of the Andean Cosmovision. Though many inroads have already been made in this direction, when the novel first appeared much of this cosmovision was not understood at all or considered part of Andean " folklore". In the present work, the use of the Quechua term " ilia" and and that of the Southern Cross (the Chakana in Quechua) are analyzed with respect to the symbolic role they play in the novel.

The Effects Of Frequency On Dual-Route Versus Single-Route Processing Of Morphologically Complex Terms: A Usage-Based Experiment, Guinevere J. Deaver
Theses and Dissertations
With the availability of frequency dictionaries, such as Alameda and Cuetos (1995) or the Corpus del Español (2002), it is now possible to explore the effects of frequency on linguistic items. The following is a study exploring the effects of frequency on Spanish affixed words. While the debate of dual-route versus single-route processing continues, the results of this study suggest that L2 Spanish speakers use a dual-route model and decompose morphologically complex words when the base frequency is higher than the surface frequency. L2 Spanish speakers perceive derived words with a higher base frequency as more complex than derived words …

Anglicisms In Buenos Aires Spanish, C. Cecilia Tocaimaza-Hatch, Dr. Robert Smead
Journal of Undergraduate Research
Buenos Aires, the capital city of Argentina, has distinguished itself from the rest of the Argentine cities by being the site of foreign influences throughout its history as an immigrants’ city. In particular, the presence of an English influence in Buenos Aires is well established, but has been historically a strictly British English influence due to immigration from Great Britain and subsequent economic and political involvement taking place in the 19th century. For that reason, anglicisms in Argentine Spanish have in the past been mostly remnants of British influence.

The Sacred Life Of Don Quixote, Jonathan William Wade, Dr. Dale Pratt
Journal of Undergraduate Research
Nearly four hundred years after the publication of the first part, I assumed the daunting task of writing about Don Quixote de la Mancha. With literally thousands of publications related to Cervantes’s masterpiece, I knew that writing an honors thesis about Don Quixote would be challenging. However, I felt that I had something valuable to contribute to this eternal literary discussion. When I first read the novel the quixotic spirit fascinated me. There was something about Don Quixote’s commitment to knight errantry that resonated with my own commitments in life. Beyond the obvious madness of our knight, there was an …

Beginners Welsh Language Program, Emily Stout, Dr. Ronald Dennis
Journal of Undergraduate Research
The purpose of my project was to help create a website which could aid people in learning the Welsh language. Language resources for Welsh are difficult to find in most places, and generally restricted to a book and tape set. These sets have some positive effect, but learning the language would be facilitated by the use of videos. My initial role in the project was to videotape fluent Welsh speakers, mostly native speakers, speaking in Welsh. In order to do this, I traveled to Wales and enrolled in an eight-week intensive Welsh course in Lampeter, in South Wales. This was …

Paraguayan Bilingualism: A Case Study Of Phonological Adaptation, Curtis W. Snyder, Dr. Willis Fails
Journal of Undergraduate Research
With the Paraguayan constitution of 1992, Guaraní gained a particularly interesting status as it became recognized by the government as the “national” language of Paraguay with Spanish being the “official” language. Although not all people in Paraguay speak Guaraní, the overwhelming majority do. Figure one illustrates the percentages of people that belong to the different linguistic communities of Paraguay. If we add the Bilingual Spanish and the Monolingual Guaraní sections we see that 92% of Paraguayans can speak Guaraní, either as a native or second language. The percentage of the total population included in this group is astonishing and definitely …

A Translation Of El Muerto Dissimulado By Angela De Azevedo, Jessie L. Christensen, Dr. Valerie Hegstrom
Journal of Undergraduate Research
The sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in Spain have come to be known as the “Golden Age”, due to the incredible flowering of art and literature that took place during that time. Among the greatest accomplishments of the era was prolific growth in both the writing and performance of plays. The works of such playwrights as Calderón de la Barca, Tirso de Molina, and Lope de Vega are already well-known and have been translated into English numerous times. However, many other authors have been forgotten during the last three hundred years. One such author is Angela de Azevedo, a woman whose …
