Reading From The Periphery: Ricardo Piglia And The Liberal Arts, Roy Ketchum
Reading From The Periphery: Ricardo Piglia And The Liberal Arts, Roy Ketchum
Hispanic Studies Faculty Publications
"At colleges and universities in the United States, the liberal arts are seen as a worthy complement to focused learning in a discipline. A discipline is expected to offer specialization in preparation for further study, for careers and for professions. The liberal arts are charged with providing a broad intellectual background. The liberal arts can also serve as an entry point, a first exposure, to the range of disciplines. This is a special relationship promising balance between depth and breadth. Many of the arguments put forth in favor of a strong liberal arts education also emphasize the practical value of …
Mi Casa Es Su Casa: La Construcción De La Identidad Chicana Y El Desarrollo De La Doméstica En La Narrativa Chicana, Verónica Calvillo
Mi Casa Es Su Casa: La Construcción De La Identidad Chicana Y El Desarrollo De La Doméstica En La Narrativa Chicana, Verónica Calvillo
Spanish and Portuguese ETDs
The development of the Chicano/a identity has prevailed as a main theme in a vast variety of Chicano/a Literature. This study analyses the construction of identity in female protagonists as they develop a domestic profession in the private and public sectors. The novels Face of An Angel written by Denise Chávez and Trini written by Estela Portillo-Trambley as well as selected poems written by Pat Mora set the stage for a dialogue between domestic workers and their employers as both parties negotiate their own identity and subsistence in a society where their presence involves a give and take for economic …
Tambien Por Los Que Se Quedaron: Tres Acercamiento Al Tema Del Preso Politico En Primavera Con Una Esquina Rota De Mario Benedetti, Carmen Julia Holguin Chaparro
Tambien Por Los Que Se Quedaron: Tres Acercamiento Al Tema Del Preso Politico En Primavera Con Una Esquina Rota De Mario Benedetti, Carmen Julia Holguin Chaparro
Spanish and Portuguese ETDs
This dissertation analyzes Mario Benedetti's novel Primavera con una esquina rota (A Spring with a Broken Corner) with special attention to the subject of the political prisoner and the representation of the crisis that unfolded in Uruguay after the 1973 coup d'état. Up until now, criticism on Primavera has focused, almost exclusively, on the topic of exile, limiting with this the text's multidimensional quality. This dissertation postulates that the subject of the political prisoner is as central to the novel as that of exile. As a consequence, if we try to interpret the work paying attention only to one of …

Nps In Conversation And Narratives: The Effects Of Genre, Information Flow And Interaction, Jenny Dumont
Spanish and Portuguese ETDs
This dissertation investigates the grammar of noun phrases as produced in two genres (spontaneous conversations and Pear Film narratives) of spoken Ecuadorian Spanish. As speakers converse and narrate, they make choices about what form (full NP, pronoun, unexpressed) to use for a noun in a particular context, how to best modify that noun (choice of article and other determiners) and what syntactic role to use; this is a study of the different factors that motivate those decisions. The patterns of use described here show that noun phrase grammar is shaped by the need to track referents and also by a …
Tragicidade- Representação Do Espaço Urbano E Negação De Cidadania Na Ficção Urbana Brasileira Contemporânea, Daniela Meireles
Tragicidade- Representação Do Espaço Urbano E Negação De Cidadania Na Ficção Urbana Brasileira Contemporânea, Daniela Meireles
Spanish and Portuguese ETDs
This thesis focuses on the fictional writings of three contemporary Brazilian authors: Ana Paula Maia, Luiz Ruffato and Marcelino Freire. In selected works of the three above-mentioned writers, I examine the intertwined representation of social violence and denial of citizenship. The thesis inquires into the way literature depicts and critiques socio-economic difference and proposes — within the fictional realm — modes of reclaiming agency through written expression. Specifically, I examine how violence is broached in contemporary Brazilian literature - what are the aesthetic tools employed to portray violence, why they are used and what is the ideology and the discursive …

Epigrafía Del Apócrifo. Revisión Del Juicio Colonial, Carlos M. López
Modern Languages Faculty Research
The location of Latin-American pre-colonial era texts in a World-taxonomy of art is very problematic from the perspective of Western axiology. The concept of ‘literature’ was defined at the end of the 18th century by thinkers of the Enlightenment, particularly by Herder, Lessing, Kant and Hegel. They invented the paradigm that established the standard that written printed text, especially those on phonetic systems, are the highest expression of human spirit. According to this paradigm Europe, and particularly Prussia, were the ones to have reached the summit of History; ergo, European written-printed texts were defined as the true ‘literature’. On the …
Is Us Military Intervention Effective In Promoting Democratic Practices In Latin American Governments?, Mindi Jones
Is Us Military Intervention Effective In Promoting Democratic Practices In Latin American Governments?, Mindi Jones
All Graduate Plan B and other Reports, Spring 1920 to Spring 2023
The United States is an influential superpower with military, political and economic prominence throughout the world. Since the Spanish American War of 1898, the US has been the hegemonic power in the western hemisphere. Because of its strong influence, US military involvement in other countries is highly scrutinized both internationally and domestically.
El Militarismo En La Granada De Rodolfo Walsh, Eleonora Bertranou
El Militarismo En La Granada De Rodolfo Walsh, Eleonora Bertranou
Hispanic Studies Faculty Publications
"Rodolfo Walsh escribió sus dos únicas obras de teatro, La granada y La batalla, en 1965, cuando ya se reconocía como un intelectual de izquierda, bajo la influencia de su experiencia cubana, pero aún reticente a creer que para los países latinoamericanos era posible dar comienzo a un proyecto evolucionario liderado por grupos armados. En la tematización de las Fuerzas Armadas, Walsh llama la atención sobre el militarismo de los países latinoamericanos y usa la sátira para agudizar su crítica a tal fenómeno. En La granada, reconoce el rol de la institución militar bajo un nuevo orden mundial y ridiculiza …
La Máscara Afro-Puertorriqueña: Una Auto-Re-Presentación A Través De La Búsqueda De La Identidad Racial, Étnica Y Nacional En Down These Mean Streets, Forrest Blackbourn
La Máscara Afro-Puertorriqueña: Una Auto-Re-Presentación A Través De La Búsqueda De La Identidad Racial, Étnica Y Nacional En Down These Mean Streets, Forrest Blackbourn
The Coastal Review
This article analyzes the textual elements of Piri Thomas’s Down These Mean Streets that demonstrate, in addition to the continual problematization of closed racial categories, the problems that are associated with static categorizations of ethnicity and nationality. This article calls into question traditional definitions of race, yet it also challenges definitions of Puerto Rican and Nuyorican identities. Race, nationality, and ethnicity are all vital elements to the human experience, and we will discover who is/are responsible for the protagonist Piri’s lack of racial recognition in the United States.
Chaos As Ecological And Autochthonous Expression: An Ecocritical Study Of La Vorágine, Danion L. Doman
Chaos As Ecological And Autochthonous Expression: An Ecocritical Study Of La Vorágine, Danion L. Doman
The Coastal Review
This article utilizes principles of ecological criticism to provide new readings of both the role and presentation of nature in José Eustasio Rivera’s novel La vorágine. Whereas critics have heretofore focused on Rivera’s memorable subjective descriptions of the Amazon jungle, the present study foregrounds the rich diversity of the real organisms represented in these depictions. In addition, this essay explores the connections between the text’s core trope, chaos, and the current ecological and social scientific understanding of the ecology and the human history of the Amazon Basin.
Charamicos: Bildungsroman Femenino O Aprendizaje Político A Través De La Memoria Histórica, Lucia M. Montas
Charamicos: Bildungsroman Femenino O Aprendizaje Político A Través De La Memoria Histórica, Lucia M. Montas
The Coastal Review
In Latin America, the combination of history and fiction, especially during the last decades has allowed marginalized groups, specifically women, to contribute to the rewriting and reevaluation of their national history. Women writers in contemporary Dominican literature have been able to actively participate in this process after a long period of silence. Dominican author Angela Hernandez exemplifies this idea within contemporary Dominican narrative. In her novel Charamicos (2003), Hernandez reinterprets the Post Trujillo era from a feminist point of view. Thus, the purpose of this article is to analyze this novel as a depository of historical memory and construction of …
De ‘La Civilización Y La Barbarie’ A ‘Lo Visible Y Lo Invisible’: Etapas En El Desarrollo De Un Centro Argentino, L. Nannette Mosley
De ‘La Civilización Y La Barbarie’ A ‘Lo Visible Y Lo Invisible’: Etapas En El Desarrollo De Un Centro Argentino, L. Nannette Mosley
The Coastal Review
Argentinean essayists Domingo Faustino Sarmiento and Eduardo Mallea both applied antithetical terms in their explorations of Argentinean identity. Sarmiento juxtaposed “la civilización” and “la barbarie,” while Mallea applied “lo visible” and “’lo invisible.” In response to a somewhat superficial comparison of the terms found within current criticism, and in light of their importance within the writings of both essayists, an in-depth exploration of the terms is undertaken here, addressing the differing objectives and contexts of the writers and revealing a significant evolution in Argentinean thought. From Sarmiento to Mallea, progress is being …
Persistent Revolutions In Colombia And Peru: A Comparative Analysis, Brandon Huson
Persistent Revolutions In Colombia And Peru: A Comparative Analysis, Brandon Huson
All-Inclusive List of Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This thesis performs a comparative analysis of rural-based revolutionary movements in Latin America. The movements that are compared are the FARC, originating in Colombia, and the Shining Path, which emerged from the highlands of Peru. The comparison is meant to serve as a test for what variables are predictive of revolutionary success. Since these movements differ in their success in establishing permanent political, social and military movements in their countries over time, their dichotomous outcome can be used to point toward variables that warrant further consideration. Comparison of revolutionary movement makes sense in this case due to the similarities between …
"God Must Have Been A Feminist To Make Me": Writings From The Girls Of El Hogar La Buena Esperanza, Anna Lapera
"God Must Have Been A Feminist To Make Me": Writings From The Girls Of El Hogar La Buena Esperanza, Anna Lapera
Latin American Studies ETDs
My thesis, 'God Must Have Been a Feminist to Make Me': Writings From the Girls of El Hogar la Buena Esperanza is a feminist ethnography of a poetry workshop I conducted over three months in el Hogar la Buena Esperanza, a home for under-privileged indigenous girls located within a cloistered Carmelite Convent in the northeastern Peruvian Amazon. Based on seventeen girls and over fourteen different creative writing activities, I explore how their writings reveal particular life histories in Latin America. From reimagining and re-writing stories and memories of their long departed hometowns, re-writing small-town histories; from exploring the cultural borders …
Strange Angels, Bridgette Werner
Strange Angels, Bridgette Werner
Renée Crown University Honors Thesis Projects - All
Strange Angels is a documentary photography project exploring the formation of family in the context of Stansberry Children’s Home in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. It is a creative project presented as a book of photos and text that together discuss life in the children’s home and how children with fractured families construct family systems in an institutional context. The photography was produced during two trips that I took to Santa Cruz in 2009 and 2010. On both trips I lived on the Stansberry grounds and interacted with the children and their caretakers, becoming acquainted with them and the operations of the …
