The Exaltation And Musicality Of The Gypsy Cante Jondo As Exemplified By The Poetry Of Federico García Lorca, Auristela Rodriguez Merlano Lung
The Exaltation And Musicality Of The Gypsy Cante Jondo As Exemplified By The Poetry Of Federico García Lorca, Auristela Rodriguez Merlano Lung
Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA
Federico García Lorca is considered as one of Spain's most important twentieth century poets. He was born near Granada to a well off landowner who loved the country and Gypsy cante jondo music. Growing up in this environment nurtured Federico's desire to appreciate his surroundings, music and the Gypsy culture. He took piano and flamenco guitar lessons. That is why many of his works are saturated with nuances and direct references to both nature and music. In his Poema del Cante Jondo one travels across Andalusia and penetrates into its folklore. In this set of poems, this thesis analyses how …

Review Of: Handbook Of Amazonian Languages, Edward J. Vajda
Review Of: Handbook Of Amazonian Languages, Edward J. Vajda
Modern & Classical Languages
Building upon the best tradition of missionary-inspired descriptive linguistic work fostered in connection with Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL) activities, editors Desmond Derbyshire and Geoffrey Pullum launched HAL during the mid1980s as a means of attracting scholarly attention to one of the world's most persistently ignored linguistic areas. With the appearance of Vol. 4, HAL coverage of the Amazon now increases to three typological studies, four historical-comparative analyses, and ten grammatical descriptions of languages belonging to eight different genetic groupings. Unfortunately, this tally barely begins to approach exhaustive coverage of the region, since the rain forests of South America are …

Botánicas: Absence In Cuba, Proliferation In The United States, José A. Lammoglia
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The Afro-Cuban Religious Complex (ARC), developed in Cuba, where the material used in their rituals was obtained trough different sources. However, the concept of a centralized store of religious goods, called bótanicas, for the ARC did not develop in Cuba alongside the religion. The reasons for the absence of these stores in Cuba until the early 1990s is explored via personal interviews with members of the ARC, participant observation, 200 questionnaires distributed in Cuba and Miami, and anchored in scholarly works about the psychology and economics of migration, as well as in those concerned with religious anthropology and sociology. …

The Sacred And The Mundane: Images Of Deity In Ordinary Objects In The Lower Rio Grande Valley Of Texas, Monica Delgado Van Wagenen
The Sacred And The Mundane: Images Of Deity In Ordinary Objects In The Lower Rio Grande Valley Of Texas, Monica Delgado Van Wagenen
Theses and Dissertations - UTB/UTPA
This thesis focuses on "iconotheophanies" or images of deity in ordinary objects. It further looks at the people who recognize and believe in iconotheophanies, specifically those of Mexican descent. This study hypothesizes that the Virgin of Guadalupe narrative, which emphasizes the appearance of images on objects, sets a pattern for Mexicans and Mexican-Americans to recognize the sacred in their own lives. Juan Diego, as the main character in the story, demonstrates a theoretical profile of five characteristics of individuals most likely to recognize iconotheophanies. These characteristics are: low level of acculturation, low socioeconomic status, male gender, older age, and increased …

Review Of: Handbook Of Amazonian Languages, Edward J. Vajda

This thick book is the first supplement to the Handbook of Amazonian languages (henceforward, HAL) to appear in nearly a decade. Building upon the best tradition of missionary-inspired descriptive linguistic work fostered in connection with Summer Institute of Linguistics (SIL) activities, editors Desmond Derbyshire and Geoffrey Pullum launched HAL during the mid1980s as a means of attracting scholarly attention to one of the world's most persistently ignored linguistic areas.

Nostalgias Postcoloniales: La Revolución Es Un Sueño Eteimo De Andrés Rivera Y La Campaña De Carlos Fuentes, Alvaro Kaempfer
Nostalgias Postcoloniales: La Revolución Es Un Sueño Eteimo De Andrés Rivera Y La Campaña De Carlos Fuentes, Alvaro Kaempfer
Latin American, Caribbean, and Latino Studies Faculty Publications
La nación como un deseo dibujado sobre los escombros de su utopía, en el tramo final del ciclo independentista latinoamericano, ordena mi acercamiento a La revolución es un sueño eterno (1987) de Andrés Rivera y La campaña (1990) de Carlos Fuentes. Más aUá de su diversidad y complejidad, ambas novelas abordan el ciclo independentista a partir de una incursión a la escritura de la historia en el contexto de la narrativa del Post-Boom. Mi hipótesis es que ambas novelas redefinen la relación entre narrativa e historia enfatizando la singularidad de la experiencia histórica, y apoyando en esa percepción individual una …

Where Africa Meets Europe: Afro-Colonial Influences As Seen In The Tradition Of The Mirrored Devils Of Panama, Elizabeth Rhodes
Where Africa Meets Europe: Afro-Colonial Influences As Seen In The Tradition Of The Mirrored Devils Of Panama, Elizabeth Rhodes
Textual Resources
The Republic of Panama is rich with folklore traditions which include as many different kinds of devils as there are provinces. Diablos sucios (dirty devils) and grandiablos (grand devils) can be seen in festivals across the country. Less visible are the diablos de espejo, or devils of the mirrors, which dance each year in the village of Escobal for the celebration of Corpus Christi. The dance movement performed throughout the day and the culminating drama which occurs in the local Catholic church at the end of day demonstrate a clear melding of African and Spanish colonial influences.
