Light And Darkness For Aesthetic Pleasure: An Exploration Of J.M.G. Le Clézio’S Early Writings And Jun’Ichiro Tanizaki’S In Praise Of Shadows, Kenichiro Otani
The Coastal Review
Building upon comparative principles, this semantic reading of Jun’ichirō Tanizaki’s essay In Praise of Shadows and J.M.G. Le Clézio’s early writings illustrates how both the Franco-Mauritian author and the Japanese writer problematize modern Western perception laden with concepts stifling flexible imagination through the mysterious worldview of light/darkness. They also simultaneously express the hope that another way of life leading to liberation is possible. Delving into the spiritual confinement of the subject, they demonstrate how keeping rich creativity within one’s heart can be an escape from a stagnant society. Albeit in very different mediums, Tanizaki and Le Clézio assert that the …

A Story Of Oppression A Psychological And Creative Approach, Juan R. Morillo
Honors Undergraduate Theses
The aim of this project is to survey the manner in which oppression is expressed in selected works of literature. It is a topic that not only am I familiar with through my studies of literature and psychology, but one that I, as well as every Venezuelan expatriate has witnessed and felt for their country.

Teaching Cuba In Georgia Today, Eric Kartchner
The Coastal Review
This essay details a college professor's approach to teaching a course on Cuban history and culture. The professor's pedagogical choices were influenced by Ada Ferrer's book, Cuba: An American History, and José Antonio Bowen's work on fostering independent thinking. The syllabus covered pre-Columbian Cuba, Spanish rule, the wars of independence, the Castro era, and significant cultural aspects like music and religion. The course emphasized multiple perspectives and encouraged student-led research, challenging preconceived notions about Cuba's complex relationship with the United States. The professor aimed to promote critical thinking and understanding through student-driven inquiry.

Luis Cernuda En El Exilio Y Análisis De Dos Poemas Cernudianos Tardíos, Mary S. Vásquez
The Coastal Review
The Spanish poet Luis Cernuda was viewed by most of his contemporaries in the brilliant generation of poets of 1927 as closed, cold, removed from them and from the explosive issues of that period. Once the tragic Spanish Civil War began in 1936, however, Cernuda was of very few Spanish intellectuals to to fight in the trenches in defense of the Republic. He also worked alongside Lorca and others in the Misiones Pedagógicas, which brought culture to the humble people to whom it belonged. María Teresa León wrote a passionate defense of the solidarity of Cernuda. The poet left Spain …

Testigos, Pero No Protagonistas: Bioficciones, Postmemoria Y Trauma Transgeneracional En Las Narrativas De Nona Fernández Y Rita Indiana, Fiordaliza Ippolito
Electronic Theses & Dissertations (2024 - present)
This dissertation examines how the concepts of biopolitics and postmemory are addressed in the narratives of Chilean author Nona Fernández (1971—) and Dominican author Rita Indiana (1977—) when portraying the dynamics of control and power in the totalitarian regimes of Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship (1973-1990) and Joaquín Balaguer Twelve Years (1966-1978). Methodologically, the study explores biopolitics, which regulates the lives and bodies of citizens, and necropolitics, which dictates who can live and who must die, to understand state repression in both narrative contexts. Through the concept of postmemory, the research observes how the trauma of dictatorships is transmitted generationally and manifests …

Electronic Theses & Dissertations (2024 - present)
En el auge de la vanguardia histórica, desde Europa hasta Hispanoamérica, intelectuales de ambos lados del atlántico coincidieron en renovar los géneros literarios. El objetivo de la vanguardia consistía en promover diferentes formas de expresión escrita para manifestar su inconformidad sobre los acontecimientos sociales, estos provocaron cambios a la estética del momento. Es decir que se buscaba deconstruir a través de diferentes Ismos como el futurismo, el ultraísmo, el creacionismo, el estridentismo entre otros para innovar la escritura dentro de la literatura del siglo XX. Las estrategias del vanguardismo consistían en las múltiples imágenes insólitas fragmentadas, lo arbitrario de la …

Theses and Dissertations
This thesis analyzes the works of two Colombian authors, Diana López Zuleta and Sara Jaramillo Klinkert, who, as indirect victims of their father's murder, address impunity and its psychological effects through two genres: the chronicle and memoir. López Zuleta describes the process of mourning through the search for justice, while Jaramillo Klinkert explores mourning and the symbolic process of "killing the father" in a context of impunity. Both authors use their work to address the violence in Colombia, the memory, and the search for the truth, emphasizing the importance of literature as an aesthetic expression and a therapeutic and ethical …

Noches Lúgubres De Cadalso: De Lúgubre A Salubre, José Sarzi Amade
Vernacular: New Connections in Language, Literature, & Culture
Noches lúgubres (1789), de José Cadalso, es, a primera vista, un modelo inaugural del Romanticismo español por los arquetipos del género que presenta. Lo atestiguan en el texto el despecho amoroso, el acceso de sensibilidad, el culto a la muerte y la locura del protagonista, Tediato, en su demencial empeño por desenterrar el cadáver putrefacto de quien perdió. Sin embargo, aunque todos los ingredientes de lo lúgubre están aquí presentes, la obra posee también una dimensión más sutil. El personaje de Tediato evoluciona desde la más profunda desesperación hasta la madurez y la aceptación del sufrimiento como algo universal. Esta …

"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 …

“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 …
