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 …

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 …
