This article offers a detailed description of the Colonial Texts Corpus, one of eleven subcorpora of the Digital Library of Old Spanish Texts published by the Hispanic Seminary of Medieval Studies.

On Angels’ Wings: Idolatry In Viktoria Tokareva’S “Five Figures On A Pedestal” And Lyudmila Ulitskaya’S “Angel”, Courtney E. Bentz

Undergraduate Theses, Professional Papers, and Capstone Artifacts

In his essays on Greek deities, Ralph Waldo Emerson declared: “Every man is a divinity in disguise, a god playing the fool.” While the idea of gods taking a corporeal form or angels walking among humans is a common literary trope, seldom do mortal characters find themselves compared to the divine without negative repercussions. Select post-Soviet women writers, however, flip this trope to explore the opposite. They instead embrace the human as holy, restrained by little consequence, as a means to highlight its destructive qualities in the context of an intimate relationship. These contemporary authors, Viktoria Tokareva and Lyudmila Ulitskaya, …

- Abstract

While there is no precise count, some experts believe New York is home to as many as 800 languages. New York City is definitely the capital of language density in the world, says Daniel Kaufman, an adjunct professor of linguistics at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. However, he predicts that half of those 800 languages will be extinct in the near future. “We’re sitting in an endangerment hot spot where we are surrounded by languages that are not going to be around …


José Emilio Pacheco En El Imaginario De La Poesía Mexicana Reciente: Ética De Escritura Y Política De Lectura, Ignacio Ruiz-Perez Jan 2018

José Emilio Pacheco En El Imaginario De La Poesía Mexicana Reciente: Ética De Escritura Y Política De Lectura, Ignacio Ruiz-Perez

Modern Languages Faculty Publications - Archive

El objetivo de este artículo es demostrar que parte del legado de José Emilio Pacheco en la poesía mexicana reciente consiste en diversas estrategias discursivas (dicción espuria, cuestionamiento de la autoridad textual, subjetividad descentrada, entre otros) en concordancia con un país continuamente en crisis. Es decir, en la poesía de Pacheco se puede ya ubicar un código de lectura y una política de escritura que convierte el texto en un espacio de reflexión y de resistencia. Mi propuesta en este ensayo, en definitiva, es que el sistema poético de la última lírica mexicana responde a los retos políticos y sociales …

El Eros Y Sus Representaciones: Del Modernismo Al Posmodernismo, Alicia Rueda Acedo Dec 2014

El Eros Y Sus Representaciones: Del Modernismo Al Posmodernismo, Alicia Rueda Acedo

Modern Languages Faculty Publications - Archive

In this paper I explore eroticism as a key element in the evolution from modernismo to posmodernismo. If eroticism is a crucial component to understand the binary concept of the world and the universe present in modernist poetry, postmodernist poets distance themselves from this outlook towards a “critic system”. In order to explore this shift, I analyze the works of postmodernist poets such as Baldomero Fernández Moreno, Ramón López Velarde and Regino E. Boti, and vanguardist poet Nicanor Parra, comparing their writing to Rubén Darío’s. I emphasize the evolution from Darío’s conception of the universe where women play an integral …


Los Papeles Del Infierno, Enrique Buenaventura, Carlos Gardeazábal Bravo Jan 2014

Los Papeles Del Infierno, Enrique Buenaventura, Carlos Gardeazábal Bravo

Global Languages and Cultures Faculty Publications and Presentations

Enrique Buenaventura (1925-2003) hizo parte de la generación de artistas que conectó al país con la modernidad estética mediante un lenguaje propio, vinculando su trabajo con el de los grandes creadores de las vanguardias teatrales. Buenaventura impulsó la renovación del teatro colombiano junto a otros dramaturgos como Santiago García y Carlos José Reyes. Una de las mejores muestras de la producción de ese periodo es Los papeles del infierno, un ciclo de piezas en un acto compuesto originalmente por La maestra, La tortura, La autopsia, La audiencia, La requisa, El menú y El entierro -junto a La orgía, la cual …

Duality And The Problem Of Moral Self-Awareness In Dostoevsky's Dvoinik (The Double), Lonny Harrison Jan 2008

Duality And The Problem Of Moral Self-Awareness In Dostoevsky's Dvoinik (The Double), Lonny Harrison

Modern Languages Faculty Publications - Archive

This dissertation investigates the problem of duality as it relates to the moral situation of the protagonist of F. M. Dostoevsky's novella Dvoinik (The Double, 1846). Bearing the cultural and literary heritage as well as contemporary social realities of mid-nineteenth century Russia steadily in mind, I analyse the duality motif in Dvoinik in terms of the protagonist's self-consciousness [samosoznanie] and moral perceptions. In particular, the moral ideas that underpin his self-definitions are products of what I refer to as moral selfawareness. In the course of my analysis, I interrogate the modulations of moral reasoning in the mind of the protagonist …
