The Life Of Spanish Noblewomen In The Secular World And Their One Alternative: The Role Of The Convent In María De Zayas' Desengaños Amorosos, Maria Middleton 2011 Minnesota State University - Mankato

The Life Of Spanish Noblewomen In The Secular World And Their One Alternative: The Role Of The Convent In María De Zayas' Desengaños Amorosos, Maria Middleton

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

This thesis examines the literary works of María de Zayas y Sotomayor called the Desengaños amorosos (1647) and the message these works suggest about life choices for women in sixteenth and seventeenth century Spain. In these novellas, María de Zayas makes a connection to the actual life of noblewomen both in the convent and outside of it. Her writing suggests through virtual and narrated experience that life in the convent allows for greater self actualization than life as a married woman. For the female characters in Desengaños amorosos, María de Zayas often utilized the convent as the superior alternative to …


Esther Tusquets' El Mismo Mar De Todos Los Veranos And "Carta A La Madre": The Healing Transformation Of The Mother-Daughter Relationship, Julie Marie Petersen 2011 Minnesota State University - Mankato

Esther Tusquets' El Mismo Mar De Todos Los Veranos And "Carta A La Madre": The Healing Transformation Of The Mother-Daughter Relationship, Julie Marie Petersen

All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects

The aim of this thesis is to explore how Esther Tusquets' "Carta a la madre" can be viewed as an evolution of Elia's emotional struggles in her search for forgiveness and closure with her mother in El mismo mar de todos los veranos, and explain why Tusquets would chose to reintroduce these characters (or slight variations of them) to readers close to twenty years later. There are differences that exist between the works and some characters are altered, but my analysis illustrates that "Carta a la madre" is not a continuation of Elia's story, but rather an evolution of the …


Cautiverio Y Convivencia En La Edad De Cervantes, Natalio Ohanna 2011 Western Michigan University

Cautiverio Y Convivencia En La Edad De Cervantes, Natalio Ohanna

All Books and Monographs by WMU Authors

Cautiverio y convivencia en la edad de Cervantes [Captivity and Coexistence in the Age of Cervantes] explores Spanish narratives of coexistence in Muslim and Native American lands, through the lens of captivity in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Far from engaging with the violence or trauma of confinement, the author studies the cognitive experience that results from abrupt immersion in a foreign culture, which leads to a revision of homogeneous and stereotypical perceptions of cultural, religious and ethnic differences, and ultimately undermines the perception of one’s own society as a stable world. In the Early Modern use of captivity narratives …


La Mujer Española Escritora De Su Propia Experiencia Carcelaria, Berta Carrasco de Miguel 2011 Western Michigan University

La Mujer Española Escritora De Su Propia Experiencia Carcelaria, Berta Carrasco De Miguel

Dissertations

This dissertation examines the role of women prisoners during the Spanish Civil war (1936-1939) and the Francoist regime (1939-1975) as represented in different literary genres such as the testimonio (testimonial narrative), autobiography and the fiction novel. In the first chapter, I analyze the concept of womanhood created by Francisco Franco 's regime through the person of Pilar Primo de Rivera. In the second chapter I study three texts written right after the dictatorship: Desde la noche y la niebla by Juana Doña, Las cárceles de Soledad Real compiled by Consuelo García and En el infierno: ser mujer en las cárceles …


The Inner Life Of Women In Medieval Romance Literature: Grief, Guilt And Hypocrisy, Jeff Rider, Jamie Friedman 2010 Wesleyan University

The Inner Life Of Women In Medieval Romance Literature: Grief, Guilt And Hypocrisy, Jeff Rider, Jamie Friedman

Jeff Rider

Recent research suggests that emotions are largely constructed and performed and that narrative is one of the most important practices through which people become emotionally aware. Narrative literature thus offers a privileged means of exploring the emotional standards and styles of the past. The essays collected here explore medieval, romance emotional communities through both fictional and non-fictional narratives in French, Spanish, and Italian texts ranging from the twelfth through fifteenth centuries. By following these women characters in their considerations, we can hope both to learn something about the times the women were writing in, while to enriching and enlarging our …

La Buscadora: Una Novelita, Brynne Marie Gilbert 2010 California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo

La Buscadora: Una Novelita, Brynne Marie Gilbert

World Languages and Cultures

This project is a fictional novella which manipulates the boundaries of identity and time in order to explore the ways in which and to what extent one depends upon the other. Because society converts time into a fixed entity of measurement for practicality’s sake, one of the attempts of this novella is to foreground the ambiguity of time so as to illustrate that the confinements that society has placed upon it are not characteristics of time itself. Upon establishing the indefinite nature of time, the text then ponders what becomes of our notion of identity if we are not permitted …
