Decolonizing French: Afrophonics In Ken Bugul’S Aller Et Retour (2013), Hapsatou Wane
The Coastal Review: An Online Peer-reviewed Journal
This article explores the innovative language strategies employed by Senegalese writer Ken Bugul in her novel Aller et retour to construct a dynamic and interconnected linguistic landscape that challenges fixed language boundaries. Ken Bugul's "langue fabriquée" combines elements of French, Wolof, and English, reflecting a transglocal dimension that embodies the essence of afrophonics—a poetics of resistance that empowers local cultures in a globalized context. Through a detailed analysis of Ken Bugul's linguistic choices, including the use of quotation marks, footnotes, and arbitrary transcription, the study reveals how she creates a language that defies categorization and decolonizes French without resorting to …

Understanding How Women Navigated The Fight For Equality During The Second Republic And Transition-Era Spain Through Feminist Literature, Amanda Jeanette Pagoaga
Honors Theses
This paper explores how women navigated the fight for equality during the Second Republic and Transition-era Spain through the lens of feminist literature. Specifically, comparing and analyzing two books, Doble esplendor by Constancia de la Mora (1939) and Crónica del desamor by Rosa Montero (1979). Both books feature women in their thirties who work and explore themes of marriage and romantic love, friendship as a space of freedom, motherhood, working women, and politics against the backdrop of the ever-changing sociopolitical situation in Spain. Through close analysis of these works, the author examines how these women navigate gender roles and societal …

Llevando Lo Público A Lo Privado: El Papel De Las Mujeres En Las Tertulias En La España Dieciochesca, Julia May
Student Research Submissions
In the Age of the Enlightenment, women of nobility in Spain began to gain some authority to contribute to society. The tertulia provided women with a path into the political and social climate of Spain. This research examines the role of women in tertulias, specifically exploring primary documents from the Academia del Buen Gusto and analyzing them for their depiction of Enlightenment ideals and women. This research also examines the life and work of the Marquesa de Fuerte- Híjar, a woman who played many roles throughout her life, from an orphan and wife to a tertulia owner and president of …

An Endless Cycle: Borges And The Reciprocal Nature Of Artistic Inspiration And Expression, Alessandro Tomasi
WWU Honors College Senior Projects
This project will focus on an analysis of Jorge Luis Borges' ideas regarding artistic creation, expression, inspiration and thought through several of his writings- specifically 'Pierre Menard, autor del Quijote', 'Kafka y sus precursores' and 'Las ruinas circulares'. Using a framework constructed by this analysis, the paper will then delve into works that have heavily influenced Borges himself and then close with works that in turn were inspired by Borges. Among his inspirations are the works of Dante Alighieri and Franz Kafka, and some that were inspired by him include those of Umberto Eco and Julio Cortázar. Thus, the paper …

Hoy día hay un gran debate entre la comunidad autista y el grupo de profesionales que tratan el autismo, sobre el lenguaje y la terminología que se debe usar cuando se describen los individuos con el trastorno del espectro autista (TEA). Muchas personas que son autistas prefieren el lenguaje de identidad primero. Eso significa que prefieren decir “personas autistas” en vez de “personas con autismo.” Mientras tanto, muchos profesionales en el campo de la psicología prefieren el lenguaje de persona primero, significando que ellos prefieren describir esta población como “personas con autismo” en vez de “personas autistas.” Hay algunos estudios …

Deconstructing Biopolitical And Performative Modes Of Gender In Spanish Science Fiction, Emma Navarro
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
This thesis investigates the distinctly Spanish works of science fiction created by Pedro Almodóvar and Elia Barceló through biopolitical and feminist frameworks. Utilizing the theories of feminist philosopher Judith Butler and sociologist Jemima Repo, we uncover associations between the fictional and theoretical that have seldom been studied in conjunction. The paper aims to demonstrate Almodóvar and Barceló’s unique narratives free from the confines of an unwavering gender stratum while simultaneously revealing the deteriorative effects of gender as a control apparatus. Deeply influenced by the post-Franco Madrid Movida movement, these creators exemplify the feminist ideals emerging from that progressive time, rejecting …

Goats Die, Butterflies Fly: Portrayals Of Dominican Dictator Rafael Trujillo (1891–1961) In Historical Fiction And Non-Fiction, Jocelyn R. Brown
Ramifications
The dictator novel has become a staple of Latin American literature in the 20th century. As the intersection of art, culture, and politics, these novels are interested in painting intimate pictures of their dictator to examine the psychology of power and the lure of authoritarianism. This project focuses on analyzing the the rise and fall of Dominican dictator Rafael Leónidas Trujillo Molina (1891–1961) through literary lenses. This project compares the ways in which Trujillo and his regime (El Trujillato) are portrayed in both non-fiction and historical fiction. Trujillo was an excellent storyteller, known for his cult of personality …

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 …

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 …

Chile, en particular o “gritar en chileno como [lo hacen] los piñones, el mote, los pájaros y las empanadas, tal vez como murmuraban el huemul y la razón”, de Lilianet Brintrup Hertling, es un libro que sorprenderá al lector. Sus referencias geográficas, históricas, culturales, culinarias y biográficas comienzan con la manducación: se mastican, se tragan, se degluten formando un bolo alimenticio inmediatamente descriptivo, valorativo y etopéyico.

La Radical Imperfección Del Mundo: El Crimen Perfecto De Jean Baudrillard Y El Crimen Ferpecto De Alex De La Iglesia, Maria A. Gomez
The Coastal Review: An Online Peer-reviewed Journal
Le parfait crime (1995) by Jean Baudrillard and Crimen ferpecto (2004) by the Basque director Alex de la Iglesia are two works that not only have in common almost identical titles. They both reflect on how in consumer societies, an imperfect real world is substituted for an illusory hyperreality in which the distinction between subject and object has disappeared. While Baudrillard explains how the denial of a transcendent reality in contemporary society is “a perfect crime” that destroys the real, Alex de la Iglesia uses black humor and a mix of genres (mainly grotesque comedy and thriller) to show the …

De Médée À La Sorcière : Reconstruction D’Un Mythe Par Michelet, Caroline Strobbe
The Coastal Review: An Online Peer-reviewed Journal
In La Sorcière, Jules Michelet uses the strength and the myth of the Medea character, which had already fascinated Corneille. In the second part of his work, Michelet creates nominative witches after authentic texts. In the first part, he creates an allegoric witch on the Medea model: the Woman, a victim of arbitrariness, injustice and repression, rises up against her oppressors, figuring the march of Humanity towards Enlightenment and Liberty. The analogies between the Witch and Medea are therefore numerous and necessary, since they help to render the defense of the oppressed against the oppressor. Would the somber Medea, …

Cercas’ protagonist, Gafitas, narrates his memories of being a member of "el Zarco's" youth gang in the barrio chino of Girona during the summer of 1978, from the vantage point of the early 2000s. The novel is simultaneously viewed through the intertextual lens of José Antonio de la Loma’s cycle of quinqui films based on the life of the famous Catalan delinquent, El Vaquilla, Juan José Moreno Cuenca. There is renewed interest in these films from the Transition period of the late 1970s and early 1980s, with the success of this novel and director Daniel Monzón's film based on Cercas’ …
