Flamenco, Gender Roles, And Female Empowerment In Granada, Spain, Dana F. Giordano
Senior Honors Projects
During the 2023-2024 academic year, my academic pursuits led me to Granada, Spain. This city is nestled within the culturally rich region of Andalucia, renowned as the birthplace of flamenco. Immersed in the study of Spanish language and culture, but also cognizant of prevalent issues of sexism deeply rooted within its societal fabric, I decided to explore gender expression and dynamics in flamenco. For this project, I researched Laura Mulvey's notion of the “male gaze,” a feminist theory that argues that the depiction of women in art and media supports a patriarchal society. Women are often portrayed as objects for …

"And Then There Were None:" The Silencing And Censorship Of Translated Works Under Francisco Franco, Avery Austin
Student Scholar Symposium Abstracts and Posters
We tend to live under the assumption that translations will always attempt to be faithful to their original texts, blindly believing in the infallibility of the translator. However, in doing so, we ignore how translation can be used to take advantage of the reader – how can one know that a change has occurred in a translated work if they have no knowledge of the text’s original language? This paper studies the power dynamics of translation, and how it can be used as a tool to aid censorship. By focusing on translated literary works under the Franco regime, this work …

Artistic Resistance Under Dictatorships In Spain And Argentina Through The Lens Of Communication Theory, Adrian Self
Student Scholar Symposium Abstracts and Posters
Under dictatorships in Spain and Argentina, artists used their mediums to criticize the actions of the Catholic church and oppressive conditions enforced by the government, using allegories, metaphors, and symbolism in their art. While many artists tried to create works that fell within authoritarian guidelines, others intentionally created cinema and literature criticizing the Argentine and Spanish governments, values, and practices, knowing the works would be banned. This investigation uses examples of cinema and literature created and published deliberately to be prohibited or censored under the regimen of Francisco Franco from 1939-1975 in Spain or the last civil-military dictatorship from 1976-1983 …

Vidas Perdidas, German Barrera Toro
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
Vidas perdidas es una novela coral que, como muchas otras novelas del género, puede ser leída como un libro de cuentos. La idea central de este proyecto no es otra que desarrollar una tesis muy sencilla pero que, en sí misma, constituye una gran alegoría sobre la existencia humana: La mayoría de nosotros pasaremos por el mundo sin la menor trascendencia histórica —artística, científica, política, espiritual… entre muchos otros campos— y, sin embargo, dichas experiencias vitales no serán vidas perdidas si en esas ventanas de posibilidades que vivimos —Heidegger definía la vida por oposición a la muerte como la posibilidad …

“I think in spanish, i write in english” [sic] es un extracto de “graduation speech”, escrito por Tato Laviera en su colección de poemas “La carreta made a U-turn” (Laviera 1979), el cual refleja la vibrante identidad de la diáspora puertorriqueña en los Estados Unidos, capaz de mantener conectados dos lugares con herencias muy diferentes. Este estudio analiza la situación de Puerto Rico, colonia española por más de 400 años y, a partir de 1898, convertida en posesión de los Estados Unidos a raíz de la Guerra Hispanoamericana. Con su invasión, los Estados Unidos prometieron “libertad, prosperidad y ventajas” a …

The Second Rebellion Of Satan: The Beautiful Raw Power Of The She-Other. An Interview With Violet Castro (Mario Morera, Pp. 16-19), Mario Morera
Intersecciones Hispánicas: Revista de Cultura, Literatura y Lingüística
The idea of this interview was, in fact, born from the participation of Violet Castro in the anthology Inferno (The Infernal Clock, 2020.) Such text presents a series of short stories representing each of the nine circles of hell in Dante’s Divine Comedy. Her short story At the bottom of my lake of blood, inspired by circle number six, suggests to accompany its reading with the 1990’s song Seasons in the abyss, by the californian trash metal band Slayer. A particular daring trait in this short story is the fact that Satan is portrayed as woman. This interview took place …

Having a conversation with Santiago Vaquera-Vásquez, professor and Chair of the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of New Mexico, is like sitting down at your family table and sharing a deep conversation about the best tacos in town, experiences about crossing the U.S.-Mexico border, traveling across the globe, and everything in between. This interview was born out of our long-time relationship as students of his and out of personal and shared connections, reflections, and conversations regarding the U.S.-Mexico borderlands, la frontera, and northern Mexico. In this interview, he talks about his upbringing, influences within his creative and …

“So, Like… Tú Sabes”: An Approach To Bilingual Discourse Markers In Puerto Rican Spanish Oral Interaction (Piero Visconte, Pp. 21-45), Piero Visconte
Intersecciones Hispánicas: Revista de Cultura, Literatura y Lingüística
This paper examines discourse markers (DMs) (i.e., pues, entonces, you know, so, I mean, etc.) and their linguistic variations in contexts of English-Spanish interaction in Puerto Rico. This linguistic category represents an aspect of discourse analysis that has captivated great interest in recent years, since its “main function is to connect utterances to each other and to the larger context” (Crible and Blackwell 2020: 24). As shown in several sociolinguistic research articles conducted in the Puerto Rican diaspora of New York City in the last twenty years (Torres 1997, 2002; Lipski 2005), the profound and protracted contact between Spanish and …

La Alternancia De Códigos En El Habla De Los Beisbolistas Hispano- Hablantes: Un Análisis Lingüístico (Sarah Walker, Pp. 68-81), Sarah Walker
Intersecciones Hispánicas: Revista de Cultura, Literatura y Lingüística
El fenómeno de la alternancia de códigos resulta del contacto entre lenguas y, de esta manera, se puede afectar a millones de personas y llevar una variedad casi infinita. Según Myers-Scotton (2017), la alternancia de códigos es la producción de discursos que contienen morfemas de múltiples variedades o lenguas. Puede tomar la forma interoracional o intraoracional, y sigue su propio conjunto de reglas (Myers-Scotton, 2017). El presente trabajo intenta explorar y describir el fenómeno de la alternancia de códigos en relación con el deporte del béisbol desde una perspectiva semántica, sintáctica y sociolingüística. Dado que la literatura ya incluye información …

Narratives Of Exile: Themes Of Displacement In Seghers, Duras, And Elio, Erin Consla
Foreign Languages & Literatures ETDs
This thesis examines identity, memory, and displacement in the exile narratives of Anna Seghers, Marguerite Duras, and María Luisa Elío. I argue that identity post-exile can be conceptualized as a continuous process of becoming, marked by a kaleidoscope of past, present, and future. Several aesthetic maneuvers such as the use of elements of form, memories of childhood, and palimpsest are shared by the chosen narratives, resulting in similar negotiations with identity. Through analysis of the authors' aesthetic focalizations, it becomes clear that their binary subject positions are modulated by the liminality and contradictions inherent in identity creation after exile. The …

A New Nature Is Coming. We Will Be Repossessed, And The Spectres Of The Post-Natural Will Take The World. Predictions Of A New Symbiotic Earth In "Fafner" (2018) By Daniel Perez Navarro, Miguel Angel Albújar-Escuredo
Alambique. Revista académica de ciencia ficción y fantasía / Jornal acadêmico de ficção científica e fantasía
This paper engages in the debates about decentralizing the role of men in the world we live in. Byproducts of this new mindset are concepts such as the “Posthuman” (Braidotti 2012); the status of “Holobiont” (Haraway 2016), and the experiencing of a new “Coexistence” with the non-human (Morton 2018). I suggest the novel Fafner (2018) as a perfect sample of this intellectual debate from an artistic and fictional view. Using concepts from diverse fields of thinking and applying them to literary analysis, this paper will review the in-depth transformation of nature portrayed by Fafner’s narration. Additionally, it will accomplish …
