Spatiality And Psychology In Miguel Delibes' La Sombra Del Cipres Es Alargada, Mark J. Mascia
Languages Faculty Publications
This article aims to examine how spatiality structures the psyche and ideology of the protagonist, Pedro, of Miguel Delibes' novel La sombra del cipres es alargada, as seen in his internal monologues and his relationships with others. Spatial references become pivotal not only in the development of the action but also in Pedro's personal development and in the articulation of existential concepts.
The Living World, Politics, And Nation: Nature And Discourse In The Poetry Of Nicolás Guillén, Mark J. Mascia
The Living World, Politics, And Nation: Nature And Discourse In The Poetry Of Nicolás Guillén, Mark J. Mascia
Languages Faculty Publications
Through an analysis of key examples of Guillén's use of nature throughout his poetry, this article presents the argument that they all are fundamentally rooted in a configuration of nature as a living being and in an understanding of humanity's place as part of nature. For Guillén, nature is not simply something that he merely appreciates as a theme; rather, it is a vital element central to his view of the worid and to his development as a writer. The collections examined here are West Indies, Ltd., El son entero, and La paloma de vuelo popula.
