El Indiano En Tres Comedias De Lope De Vega, Jaime Martínez Tolentino Dec 2001

El Indiano En Tres Comedias De Lope De Vega, Jaime Martínez Tolentino

Teatro: Revista de Estudios Escénicos / A Journal of Theater Studies

Durante los siglos XVI y XVII, muchos españoles regresaron a España desde las Indias, cargados de las riquezas que allí habían adquirído y convencidos de que los rigores que habían sufrido en el Nuevo Mundo los hacían acreedores de ciertos favores normalmente reservados a la nobleza o a los héroes militares. A esos retomados de las Indias se los llamó indianos al regresar a España, donde, para mediados del XVI, ya la mentalidad popular se había formado una imagen de ellos bastante negativa. Lo que hoy sabemos sobre los indianos procede del teatro del XVII, cuando Lope de Vega llevó …

The Isolation Of America: The Ideological And Poetic Purpose Of Misrepresentation, Robert M. Shannon Dec 2001

The Isolation Of America: The Ideological And Poetic Purpose Of Misrepresentation, Robert M. Shannon

Teatro: Revista de Estudios Escénicos / A Journal of Theater Studies

El presente artículo pretende explicar por qué el dramaturgo preeminente del Siglo de Oro, Lope de Vega, se refiere repetidas veces a una colonia imperial americana, el Brasil, como una isla en su comedia. El Brasil restituido. Se aclara que el aparente error geográfico se debe a la intervención del Conde Duque de Olivares en la comedia para señalar la postura política imperial en contra de la incursión extranjera en las colonias americanas y en contra de la mezcla de la sangre española con la de los indígenas de América y con los enemigos tradiciones de la fe católica, protestantes …

Hispanoamérica En El Teatro Del Siglo De Oro: El Nuevo Rey Gallinato Y Ventura Por Desgracia De Andrés De Claramonte, Alfredo Rodríguez López-Vázquez Dec 2001

Hispanoamérica En El Teatro Del Siglo De Oro: El Nuevo Rey Gallinato Y Ventura Por Desgracia De Andrés De Claramonte, Alfredo Rodríguez López-Vázquez

Teatro: Revista de Estudios Escénicos / A Journal of Theater Studies

La comedia heroica El nuevo rey Gallinato y ventura por desgracia, de Andrés de Claramonte es una de las primeras obras (representada ya en abril de 1604) en las que se propone la figura del hombre del Nuevo Mundo. Como obra de una época en la que todavía no se había asentado el modelo lopiano clásico esquematizado en el Arte nuevo, aparecen elementos heterogéneos (como la personificación de figuras morales) y escenas y parlamentos resueltos tal vez de forma apresurada; junto a ello, el plan general de la obra y el tratamiento de la trama con un sólido sentido del …

Visión De América: El Teatro De Santos Indianos Aurisecular, Daisy Rípodas Ardanaz Dec 2001

Visión De América: El Teatro De Santos Indianos Aurisecular, Daisy Rípodas Ardanaz

Teatro: Revista de Estudios Escénicos / A Journal of Theater Studies

En el teatro del Siglo de Oro español abundaron las comedias sobre vidas de santos. El propósito de este artículo es estudiar qué santos fueron elegidos y por qué, en qué grado y de qué modo sus hechos fueron considerados por los autores de esos dramas, los rasgos específicos de esas piezas y la imagen de América que aportaban. La autora analiza El rufián dichoso de Miguel de Cervantes, Vida y muerte del santo fray Luis Bertrán de Gaspar de Aguilar, La batalla de los dos de Francisco de la Torre, Santa Rosa del Perú de Agustín Moreto y Pedro …

Lo Peor De Ambos Mundos: Dos Entremeses Americanos De Luis Quiñones De Benavente Y Vicente Suárez De Deza, Héctor Brioso Santos Dec 2001

Lo Peor De Ambos Mundos: Dos Entremeses Americanos De Luis Quiñones De Benavente Y Vicente Suárez De Deza, Héctor Brioso Santos

Teatro: Revista de Estudios Escénicos / A Journal of Theater Studies

El autor estudia dos ejemplos poco conocidos de entremeses con elementos americanos, la segunda parte de El martinillo, entremés cantado de Luis Quiñones de Benavente, fechado entre 1634 y 1635, y Los casamientos de Vicente Suárez de Deza y Avila, que se supone escrito antes de 1663. En los dos casos se observa la trívialización cómica del mundo americano, en el primero a través de una alegoría que esconde algunas críticas acerca de la colonización, y en el segundo por medio de un tratamiento ridiculo del personaje del indiano fmgido, interesante invención de los dramaturgos de la comedia nueva. …

La Imagen De Las Indias En El Teatro Breve Del Siglo De Oro, Héctor Urzáiz Tortajada Dec 2001

La Imagen De Las Indias En El Teatro Breve Del Siglo De Oro, Héctor Urzáiz Tortajada

Teatro: Revista de Estudios Escénicos / A Journal of Theater Studies

Este artículo pretende aportar nuevos testimonios acerca de la presencia de América en el teatro breve del Siglo de Oro, donde los asuntos relativos al Descubrimiento se tratan desde un punto de vista cómico y satírico. Se analiza, en primer lugar, el caso de Luis Vélez de Guevara, tanto en su faceta puramente entremesil como en su comedia indiana Las palabras a los reyes, donde se encuentra una especie de entremés intercalado. Se analizan, a continuación, otras obras cortas (loas, bailes y mojigangas) en las que hay una presencia notable de asuntos americanos, escritas por dramaturgos como Suárez de …

Andanzas Americanas De Pedro Ordóñez De Ceballos En Dos Comedias Del Siglo De Oro, Miguel Zugasti Dec 2001

Andanzas Americanas De Pedro Ordóñez De Ceballos En Dos Comedias Del Siglo De Oro, Miguel Zugasti

Teatro: Revista de Estudios Escénicos / A Journal of Theater Studies

El catálogo, tantas veces considerado escaso, de comedias "americanas" del Siglo de Oro español se ha ido ampliando sucesivamente en los últimos años. A él deben añadirse las comedias que tratan las andanzas indianas del clérigo Pedro Ordóñez de Ceballos: dos piezas de Alonso Remón y una comedia de fr. Francisco de Guadarrama, con dos continuaciones anónimas sobre cuya autoría se especula hoy. El autor de este artículo traza una semblanza de Ordóñez de Ceballos, inventaría sus obras, establece sus caracteres como modelo dramático a partir de lo que él mismo declara en sus prólogos a esas comedias, localiza estas …

Ezra Pound's Comparative Poetics, Naikan Tao Dec 2001

Ezra Pound's Comparative Poetics, Naikan Tao

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In his paper, "Ezra Pound's Comparative Poetics," Naikan Tao concentrates on Pound's theories regarding comparison and examines the significance of his comparative studies to the formulation of his poetics, an aspect that has not been sufficiently investigated. On the basis of Pound's work, Tao observes that the conception of comparison Pound shaped through his comparative studies is the internal principle that governs the presentation of details and particulars, the method Pound advocated as a reader-oriented approach to truth and as an efficient, self-reliant means to avoid others' generalization and discursive presentation. Pound's view of comparison as an epistemological norm -- …

Adversary Use Of Nbc Weapons: A Neglected Challenge, John F. Reichart Dec 2001

Adversary Use Of Nbc Weapons: A Neglected Challenge, John F. Reichart

Strategic Forums

Understanding has evolved in the last decade about how an adversary might use nuclear, radiological, biological, or chemical weapons against the United States. Increasingly, America is concluding that potential adversaries view these not as “weapons of last resort” but rather as tactically and strategically useful. The United States can expect their use early in a conflict as well as throughout the extended battlefield, including on U.S. territory itself.

Serving The Homeless: Evaluating The Effectiveness Of Homeless Shelter Services, Robert L. Fischer Dec 2001

Serving The Homeless: Evaluating The Effectiveness Of Homeless Shelter Services, Robert L. Fischer

Faculty Scholarship

The effects of homeless assistance services at the local level are tremendously difficult to ascertain. In this study, a four-month sample of homeless persons served by a local homeless shelter and case management program were contacted nine to eleven months after receiving services. The findings suggest that the program had some initial success in assisting the homeless clients to locate housing within the first year after leaving the shelter. However, the housing costs paid by these formerly homeless were quite high, with nearly three-quarters of them spending forty percent or more of their income on housing.

Behavioral Changes In Adult C57bl/6j Mice Following Prenatal Exposure To Ethanol., Kevin Wade Nunley Dec 2001

Behavioral Changes In Adult C57bl/6j Mice Following Prenatal Exposure To Ethanol., Kevin Wade Nunley

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) labels children with physical, mental and behavioral deficits exposed to alcohol in utero. Current research indicates that timing of alcohol exposure of the embryo/fetus is a critical determinant of the behavioral deficits associated with FAS. This study represents a model for binge drinking, in which C57BL mouse embryos were exposed to alcohol during 2 separate critical periods of brain development, gestational day (GD) 7 or 8. As adults, the offspring were tested to determine if loco-motor activity and emotional reaction to a novel environment had been affected. Significant differences due to treatment and sex were …

The National Domestic Workers Union And The War On Poverty, Elizabeth Beck Dec 2001

The National Domestic Workers Union And The War On Poverty, Elizabeth Beck

The Journal of Sociology & Social Welfare

This article explores values, strategies, and tensions found within the War on Poverty and examines a War on Poverty-supported initiative, the National Domestic Workers Union (NDWU). The article makes the argument that the NDWU is illustrative of the War on Poverty in that each held structurally based descriptions of poverty and individually based prescriptions. The article explores the relationship of domestic service to the institutions of racism, classism, and sexism and how the ND WU strategies of training, service, and, advocacy-like those of the War on Poverty-sought to address the needs of individual domestic workers while circumventing larger and more …

Concepts, Measurement And Causes Of Poverty, D. O. Ajakaiye, V. A. Adeyeye Dec 2001

Concepts, Measurement And Causes Of Poverty, D. O. Ajakaiye, V. A. Adeyeye

Economic and Financial Review

Thoughts. on appropriate conceptualization, measurement and accurate characterization of determinants of poverty has a long history. From analytical perspective, thinking about poverty can be traced back at least to the codification of poor laws in medieval England, through to the pioneering empirical studies, at the tum of the century, by Booth in London and by Rowntree in York. Rowntree's study, published in 1901, was the first to develop a poverty standard for individual families, based on estimates of nutritional and other requirements. In the 1960s, the main focus of poverty debate was on the level of income, reflected in macro …

Modified Adaptive Algorithms, Yingkang Hu, Kirill A. Kopotun, Xiang Ming Yu Dec 2001

Modified Adaptive Algorithms, Yingkang Hu, Kirill A. Kopotun, Xiang Ming Yu

College of Natural and Applied Sciences

It is well known that the adaptive algorithm is simple and easy to program but the results are not fully competitive with other nonlinear methods such as free knot spline approximation. We modify the algorithm to take full advantages of nonlinear approximation. The new algorithms have the same approximation order as other nonlinear methods, which is proved by characterizing their approximation spaces. One of our algorithms is implemented on the computer, with numerical results illustrated by figures and tables.

"Black Behind The Ears" — And Up Front Too? Dominicans In The Black Mosaic, Ginetta Candelario Dr Dec 2001

"Black Behind The Ears" — And Up Front Too? Dominicans In The Black Mosaic, Ginetta Candelario Dr

Sociology: Faculty Publications

This article considers the formation and representation of Washington, D.C.'s Dominican community in the Anacostia Museum's 1994 -1995 exhibit, Black Mosaic: Community, Race and Ethnicity Among Black Immigrants in D.C. The exhibit successfully pointed to the extensive historical presence of African Diaspora peoples in Latin America and explored the development of subsequent Diaspora from those communities into Washington, D.C. The case of Dominican immigrants to D.C., however, illustrates the continued privileging of a U.S.- or Anglo-centric ideation of African-American history and identity. I argue that a more accurate and politically useful formulation would call for an understanding that the African …

Venture Capitalists And Closely Held Ipos: Lessons For Family-Controlled Firms, Joseph H. Astrachan, Daniel L. Mcconaughy Dec 2001

Venture Capitalists And Closely Held Ipos: Lessons For Family-Controlled Firms, Joseph H. Astrachan, Daniel L. Mcconaughy

Faculty Articles

This study examines how the presence of venture capitalists (VCs) in closely held IPOs relates to their performance. It also identifies other factors that are related to the performance of closely held IPOs. Closely held firms in this study had an average of 88% insider ownership before the IPO. In general, we find that closely held IPOs benefit from associations with VCs. This finding suggests that VCs' outside expertise and connections are valuable assets. Because it takes time for VCs to effect changes and because beneficial changes generally occur gradually, firms contemplating IPOs must plan well in advance to maximize …

Poverty Reduction In Nigeria: The Way Forward, Mike I. Obadan Dec 2001

Poverty Reduction In Nigeria: The Way Forward, Mike I. Obadan

Economic and Financial Review

The description of Nigeria as a paradox by the World Bank (1996) bas continued to be confirmed by events and official statistics in the country. The paradox is - that the poverty level in Nigeria contradicts the country's immense wealth. Among other things, the country is enormously endowed with human, agricultural, petroleum, gas, and large untapped solid mineral resources. Particularly worrisome is that the country earned over USS300 billion from one resource - petroleum - during the last three decades of the twentieth century. But rather than record remarkable progress in national socio-economic development, Nigeria retrogressed to become one of …
