Maria De Zayas: Lo Paradojico De Una Escritora Del Siglo De Oro Espanol, Nancy Vinces 2012 University of Central Florida

Maria De Zayas: Lo Paradojico De Una Escritora Del Siglo De Oro Espanol, Nancy Vinces

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

This is a study about María de Zayas y Sotomayor, a seventeenth century Spanish writer who has slowly but surely started to become one of the most read and researched female writers of her time among current scholars. Zayas’s work is that of a baroque writer and as such her critics are notorious for having divergent views about her work. The purpose of this study is to discern the reason behind the controversy that exists about her narrative. The present study is an attempt to elucidate the ambiguity around the feminist views Zayas has been adjudicated. Taking into consideration her …


Garota, Steven Byrd 2012 University of New England

Garota, Steven Byrd

Society, Culture and Languages Faculty Publications

"Garota," a short story, is a fictional account of the composing of the famous Brazilian song "Garota de Ipanema" ("The girl from Ipanema"), which was written by Antonio Carlos Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes in the early 1960s. The story also deals with some of the social and political issues of Brazil of that time.


Sabbatical Leave Proposal And Report, Melissa Leach 2012 Parkland College

Sabbatical Leave Proposal And Report, Melissa Leach

Sabbaticals

I propose a renewed emphasis on my Spanish language skills -reading, writing, speaking and listening- through: 1) speaking with native speakers; 2) immersion in Spanish media -magazines, newspapers, television, movies, etc.; 3) travel to Spanish speaking countries; and 4) a journal project in my target language. These activities will refresh and improve my Spanish and give me newfound connections with the Spanish speaking world and its cultures, making me a better Spanish teacher.


Writing Words, Wearing Wounds: Race And Gender In A Puerto Rican Neo-Slave Narrative, Radost A. Rangelova 2012 Gettysburg College

Writing Words, Wearing Wounds: Race And Gender In A Puerto Rican Neo-Slave Narrative, Radost A. Rangelova

Spanish Faculty Publications

This article analyzes Mayra Santos-Febres's novel "Fe en disfraz" as a modern subversive slave narrative that inverts racial and gender hierarchies and critiques contemporary Caribbean white male privilege. The analysis answers the following questions: How does the novel represent the racialized and sexualized female body? How does the novel's representation of racial and gender relations address the legacy of the Atlantic slave trade in the Caribbean? And ultimately, what does the novel suggest about (re-) writing the personal and the collective history of slavery?


La Trilogia De Jorge Volpi Como Ventana Sitiada En La Posmodernidad, Maria D. Ramos 2012 Wayne State University

La Trilogia De Jorge Volpi Como Ventana Sitiada En La Posmodernidad, Maria D. Ramos

Wayne State University Dissertations

This dissertation examines from the perspective of postmodern theory, the ideological and formal aspects of Jorge Volpi's trilogy of the twentieth century: En busca de Klingsor (In Search of Klingsor), El fin de la locura (The End of Madness), and No será la tierra (Season of Ash). Employing the concept of postmodernism as used by Jean-François Lyotard, I demonstrate how Volpi, through his trilogy, undermines the basis of modernity; that is, the trilogy subverts the metanarratives of science, theory, and progress characteristic of modernity and portrays the previous century as a failed one. As a result of postmodern thought this …

King Alfonso Xi In Lope’S Amor, Pleito Y Desafío: A Practical And Just Model Of Kingship In A Time Of Moral Ambiguity, Terri Carney 2012 Butler University

King Alfonso Xi In Lope’S Amor, Pleito Y Desafío: A Practical And Just Model Of Kingship In A Time Of Moral Ambiguity, Terri Carney

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

It is an axiom that the king is a pillar of Spanish Golden Age drama. Indeed, whether fictional or historic, on the stage or in the audience, the figure of the king is prevalent in the world of the comedia as a site of cultural anxiety surrounding the role of the monarchy in the newly urbanized and litigious seventeenth-century Spanish society. Scholars such as Melveena McKendrick (Playing the King) and Frank Casa (“The Duality of the King in Golden Age Drama”) have explored the personage of the king in a variety of these plays. Neither of these studies …


Luis Goytisolo's Teoría Del Conocimiento As Postmodern Autobiography, Terri Carney 2012 Butler University

Luis Goytisolo's Teoría Del Conocimiento As Postmodern Autobiography, Terri Carney

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

Teoría del conocimiento es la última novela de la famosa tetralogía de Goytisolo, Antagonía. En este estudio trato la obra como autobiografía postmoderna. Repleto de referencias autobiográficas a la vida de Goytisolo y estructurada como bildungsroman, queda como exploración de autoría, subjetividad, y la posibilidad de agencia en una realidad post-totalitaria y postmoderna. Goytisolo cuidadosamente crea la ilusión de una autobiografía convencional solo para luego socavar la premisa de un sujeto plenario y la transparencia del lenguaje, dejando a los lectores con una versión alternative del ser y autor, encarnado en el personaje peculiar de El Viejo.


"Una Conversacion Con Borges": Notas A Una Entrevista De Jose Donoso, Maria Laura Bocaz-Leiva 2012 University of Mary Washington

"Una Conversacion Con Borges": Notas A Una Entrevista De Jose Donoso, Maria Laura Bocaz-Leiva

Modern Languages & Literatures Articles

En dos de los cuadernos de trabajo de Jose Donoso contenidos en el archivo de la Universidad de Iowa se encuentra un conjunto de anotaciones autografas en las que se hace evidente que el escritor no se encontraba trabajando en uno de sus proyectos literarios, sino en una entrevista a Jorge Luis Borges. Tras el hallazgo en el ano 2007 trate por diversos medios de encontrar la version publicada de este texto, ya que la importancia del entrevistado asi como la precaria situacion en la que se encontraba Donoso para entonces --sin trabajo, con poco dinero, apenas en los inicios …
