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.


Dorotea’S Displacement: Performing The Possible In Early Modern Spain, Christine Garst-Santos 2011 South Dakota State University

Dorotea’S Displacement: Performing The Possible In Early Modern Spain, Christine Garst-Santos

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

Este ensayo combina la teoría de performativity de Judith Butler con los acercamientos materialistas a la subjetividad masculina de la temprana modernidad española (Maravall, Mariscal, Rodríguez) para analizar las innovadoras representaciones de clase y género hechas por Dorotea en Don Quijote. Aunque Dorotea entra en la novela como una desplazada labradora engañada, dentro de sus representaciones en la Sierra Morena y la venta de Juan Palomeque, Dorotea no solamente se redime a sí misma sino que también redime a don Fernando, el noble desocupado responsable por su desplazamiento social. En el presente ensayo, demuestro que Dorotea usa los discursos que …


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).

Recuerda Que Yo Estoy Aqui Tambien : A Bilingual Picture Book, Liliana Ivette Funes 2011 Bank Street College of Education

Recuerda Que Yo Estoy Aqui Tambien : A Bilingual Picture Book, Liliana Ivette Funes

Graduate Student Independent Studies

My independent study for my Integrative Masters consists of a bilingual (Spanish/English) picture book that is based on personal experience, and endeavors to describe the emotional distress and anxiety children can experience as second language learners entering a monolingual classroom for the first time. The book addresses not only the emotional and academic struggles of the child, but also the ways in which peers and teachers can intervene to ease the child's transition into English. Thus the book can serve as a resource to support monolingual classrooms. The study also includes a personal reflection of the process and journey, I …

El Mundo Plural De La Posmodernidad Y Las Nuevas Narrativas En España: Espacios Para La Subjetividad Femenina En Veo Veo, De Gabriela Bustelo, Morella Ortiz 2011 University of Central Florida

El Mundo Plural De La Posmodernidad Y Las Nuevas Narrativas En España: Espacios Para La Subjetividad Femenina En Veo Veo, De Gabriela Bustelo, Morella Ortiz

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

One of the most salient features of contemporary Spanish fiction is the solid participation of women in literary creation, particularly that of novels. While in the 1970s there were isolated figures, in the 80s and with the consolidation of democracy, the number grew sharply; in the 90s, they multiplied their presence and their quality continues to be outstanding. In spite of the prejudices of sexist power, a good segment of the critics accepts that today a wider and more valuable group of female novelists has been capable of constructing themes, techniques and discourses differing from the predominant one. It is …

Transatlantic Fuentes: Between ‘The Two Shores’ Of Pluriculturality And Glossocentrism, Alberto Ribas-Casasayas 2011 Santa Clara University

Transatlantic Fuentes: Between ‘The Two Shores’ Of Pluriculturality And Glossocentrism, Alberto Ribas-Casasayas

Modern Languages & Literature

The cultural program that Jerónimo de Aguilar pronounces at the end of Carlos Fuentes's short story “The Two Shores” appears to be inconsistent with the fundamentals of democratic liberalism and multiculturalism upon which they are ostensibly based. Furthermore, cultural visions like those in “The Two Shores” lend signifying imagery and empower cultural institutions, the media, and political authorities to exert symbolic violence upon minorities, thereby negating the multiculturalism that such visions claim to be promoting. El programa cultural que Jerónimo de Aguilar pronuncia al final del cuento “Las dos orillas” de Carlos Fuentes parece inconsistente con los fundamentos del liberalismo …

El Derecho Para Decir “Sí, Quiero”: El Movimiento Lgbtq En Los Ee.Uu., España, Y La Argentina, Jamila A. Humphrie

Hispanic Studies Honors Projects

This Honors Project reflects my four years of experiences as a student of the Hispanic Studies Department. The project incorporates my experience and research conducted during my study abroad experience in Argentina, Spanish, and critical study and theory. Throughout the project, I examine the dichotomy between assimilation and liberation as a framework for the LGBTQ movement, and the commonalities in the histories of the three countries. My thesis states that: as a result of globalization and what I call the transatlantic trade of ideas, the LGBTQ movements in Spain, Argentina and the U.S. have all adapted a limited and ultimately …

We Have Something To Say: Ideas And Mobilization In The Migrant Solidarity Movement, Leif Johnson 2011 Macalester College

We Have Something To Say: Ideas And Mobilization In The Migrant Solidarity Movement, Leif Johnson

Latin American Studies Honors Projects

Despite the existence of strong anti-immigrant sentiments across the United States, a movement in solidarity with undocumented migrants has emerged in southern Arizona and other heavily traveled border regions. Based on participatory research with the organization No More Deaths / No Mas Muertes, this thesis works towards an understanding of the ways in which this migrant solidarity movement reframes migration within a highly oppositional ideational space. My research suggests that, when examining movements that strongly reject accepted viewpoints, it is important to understand framing not only through analysis that examines a movement or organization as a whole, but also to …


La Parte Censurada De La Historia De La Provincia De Francisco De Florencia, Jason Dyck 2011 Western University

La Parte Censurada De La Historia De La Provincia De Francisco De Florencia, Jason Dyck

FIMS Publications

Before the Jesuit Francisco de Florencia was able to publish the History of the Province (1694) he was forced to remove several chapters from the second book of the first volume. The section that was cut out of his manuscript reviews the errors of ancient theories on the environment of the New World, the greatness of Mexico City before the Spanish conquest, and the natural abundance of New Spain. This document is extremely valuable because it demonstrates how colonial historians were restricted by state censorship in what they were able to publish on America. The transcription of this censored section …


“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 …
