Spanish Language and Literature
Este libro analiza la representación de la violencia contra los republicanos durante la dictadura franquista—especialmente durante la posguerra, en la década de 1940—en diversas obras narrativas y fílmicas de autores españoles desde finales del siglo XX hasta la actualidad. La represión que ejerció la dictadura de Franco contra los españoles a los que consideraba enemigos de la llamada “Nueva España” fue múltiple y polivalente, tanto a nivel físico como psicológico, incluyendo métodos como torturas, encarcelamientos, ejecuciones, enterramientos en fosas comunes, robos de niños de padres republicanos, marginación social, depuraciones de trabajadores e imposición del silencio en torno a los crímenes …

Improving Diagnostic Outcomes For Individuals With Autism Spectrum Disorders Within The Hispanic Community In Bowling Green, Kentucky, Bethany Waddey
Mahurin Honors College Capstone Experience/Thesis Projects
Despite the importance of early identification and intervention of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), Hispanic children are significantly under-diagnosed with ASD in comparison to non-Hispanic, white children due to barriers to ASD identification in this population. The purpose of this research is to determine the levels of ASD knowledge in the Hispanic community in Bowling Green, the barriers that may contribute to why ASD is underdiagnosed in Hispanic children, and how to mitigate these barriers. This research analyzes the results of a survey, called the “Autism Spectrum Knowledge Scale- General Population Version”, administered to 51 participants from the Hispanic population of …

Literatura y legitimación en América Latina. Polémicas, operaciones, representaciones es el resultado de un proyecto de investigación colectivo. El libro explora la relación entre la literatura y el concepto de legitimidad en un conjunto de escenas situadas en el ámbito de la modernidad latinoamericana entre fines del siglo XIX y comienzos del XXI. Se pregunta por el rol que jugó el discurso literario en la legitimación de prácticas, ideas, grupos y posiciones, y a la vez analiza los mecanismos a partir de los cuales la propia literatura fue elaborando su legitimidad en tanto institución social del presente. La literatura moderna …
A Cinematographic Comparison Of The Representation Of Las Cholitas In Two Bolivian Films: Los Andes No Creen En Dios Directed By Antonio Eguino (2007) And Zona Sur By Juan Carlos Valdivia (2010), 2023 Rollins College
A Cinematographic Comparison Of The Representation Of Las Cholitas In Two Bolivian Films: Los Andes No Creen En Dios Directed By Antonio Eguino (2007) And Zona Sur By Juan Carlos Valdivia (2010), Mackenzie Scheer
Honors Program Theses
From its founding on a colonial system to the current socioeconomic class structure in Bolivia, indigenous rights have been improving in the state. Las cholitas are an Aymaran, indigenous group within Bolivia. This essay looks at the portrayal of cholitas in two different Bolivian films: Los Andes no creen en Dios directed by Antonio Eguino (2007) and Zona sur by Juan Carlos Valdivia (2010). The former is set in the 1920s and the latter in 2010, thus showing the change in status of indigenous people over a 90-year gap. This cinematographic analysis focused on the indicators of the separation of …

Forum On “Conquest”: Past-Present Politics Of Coloniality In Cinema On Latin America, Stephen Jakob Turner
Theses and Dissertations--Hispanic Studies
My dissertation analyzes the representation of Spanish “Conquest” in film as a critical commentary on the cultural present. Chapter 1, “Directorial Discord: The Cultural Politics of Representation in Apocalypto (USA/Mexico/UK, 2006) and Retorno a Aztlán (Return to Aztlán, Mexico, 1991)” focuses on the representation of the (im)possibility of Indigenous heroic protagonism and futurity in the origins of “Conquest.” Chapter 2, “‘The World is Thus’: Resistance and the Power of Ambivalent Conversion in Gabriel Retes’s Nuevo Mundo (The New World; Mexico, 1976) and Roland Joffé’s The Mission (USA/Paraguay, 1986)” posits that the “Conquest” problematizes the myth of …
The Beauty And The Beast: Beauty And Misfortune In Maria De Zayas’S Novellas, 2023 The University Of Montana
The Beauty And The Beast: Beauty And Misfortune In Maria De Zayas’S Novellas, Clarise Ann Sviatko
Undergraduate Theses, Professional Papers, and Capstone Artifacts
The age-old question of what beauty is has been a common discussion among artists and philosophers for centuries. Maria de Zayas, a 17th century Spanish novelist mostly known for her novella collections Amorous and Exemplary Novels (1637) and The Disenchantments of Love (1647), describes violence and deception of beautiful women at the hands of men. In this paper, I will explore Zayas’s motives for all the female heroines being beautiful and how this all relates to the connection between beauty and misfortune that is seen throughout her works as well as many other pieces of literature. By comparing Zayas’s novellas …
“Thinking Across Bodies”: Percepción Woolfiana Y Giro Material En La Cuentística De Rodoreda, Roig, Alós Y Riera, 2023 University of Kentucky
“Thinking Across Bodies”: Percepción Woolfiana Y Giro Material En La Cuentística De Rodoreda, Roig, Alós Y Riera, Ana Álvarez Guillén
Theses and Dissertations--Hispanic Studies
Conventional understandings of perception have long undergirded traditional readings of Modernist texts in adopting a predominantly subject-centered perspective that separates subject from object in a vertical and hierarchical relationship. I argue that a consideration of Virginia Woolf’s short stories in dialogue with four generations of twentieth-century Catalan women writers who followed her work closely suggests an entirely different epistemological framework of perception in which subject and object are fluidly and horizontally organized. Mercè Rodoreda, Concha Alós, Montserrat Roig and Carme Riera establish a horizontal fictional dialogue that constitutes a return to matter that decenters the subject, resulting in an alternative …
Pachuquismo E Identidad Nacional Imaginada En Los Estados Unidos Y México En La Década De 1940, 2023 Macalester College
Pachuquismo E Identidad Nacional Imaginada En Los Estados Unidos Y México En La Década De 1940, Isabel Saavedra-Weis
Hispanic Studies Honors Projects
Pachuquismo was a counterculture born in the barrios of East L.A. in the 1940s. Mexican-American youth created their own social group defined by specific clothing (zoot suits), music fusions (mambo and swing), and linguistic dialects (caló). However, on both sides of the U.S. and Mexican border, pachucos had a poor reputation. In the U.S., mainstream media portrayed pachucos as juvenile delinquents and domestic threats. In Mexico, pachucos were mimicked and heavily criticized for their Americanization. In this essay, I identify how U.S. and Mexican mainstream media reacted to pachucos, and what those portrayals can tell us about the imagined national …

Review Of: Martínez Expósito, Alfredo. Disidencia E Hipernormalización: Ensayos Sobre Sexualidad Y Masculinidades. Icaria, 2021, Iker Gonzalez-Allende
Spanish Language and Literature
Este libro incluye diez ensayos que analizan la representación de masculinidades disidentes—LGBTQ, periféricas o heterodoxas—en el cine y la narrativa española y latinoamericana desde mediados de 1970 hasta la segunda década del presente siglo. Partiendo de que las masculinidades disidentes consisten en masculinidades alternativas a la hegemónica—en una jerarquía de masculinidades apuntada por R.W. Connell—, Alfredo Martínez Expósito revela cómo, a pesar de ello, están siendo rápidamente normalizadas en los discursos sociales dominantes, reproduciendo de forma deliberada o accidental valores heteronormativos como el binarismo de género y la monogamia (230). A este proceso de acelerada normalización de la diversidad sexual …

The Creation Of The Home: A Sociological And Literary Analysis Of Dominicanidad In Public Spaces Of Washington Heights And Within Dominican Literature, 2023 Bard College
The Creation Of The Home: A Sociological And Literary Analysis Of Dominicanidad In Public Spaces Of Washington Heights And Within Dominican Literature, Mádoris Isabel Santana Figuereo
Senior Projects Spring 2023
“The Creation of the Home” is a study that puts in conversation theories within sociology of immigration, culture, nationality, urban studies, gentrification, and literature. These realms of study allow us to capture the trajectories of meaning making by Dominican Immigrants in New York City who lived in the homeland for the majority of their childhood. It shows that even when the physical home is endangered by larger structural forces such as economic precarity, gentrification, and displacement, Dominican immigrants continue to center their identity and cultural markers through symbolic recreations of the home. Dominican literature of the Diaspora shows us that …
