Mesa Para Dos. La Gastronomía En La Poesía Y El Cine Españoles, Dolores Juan Moreno
Mesa Para Dos. La Gastronomía En La Poesía Y El Cine Españoles, Dolores Juan Moreno
Doctoral Dissertations
This doctoral dissertation examines the alliances between Gastronomy, Film and Poetry in Peninsular Spanish Culture between 2000 and 2015. The thesis that I defend in this project argues that poetry and cinema employ the same tools in their display of culinary elements. These techniques are rooted in a concept promoted by the Catalonian chef Ferran Adrià: the “extrañamiento” that comes from a process of culinary deconstruction. Because of their need to enhance multiple meanings in a limited space, poets and filmmakers turn to “extrañamiento” as a means to capture the attention of the public who, unexpectedly, is able to shed …
Carmen(Es) Y Lola. El Continuo Generacional De La Educación De La Mujer Desde La Novela Y El Monólogo Teatral De Cinco Horas Con Mario Hasta La Película Función De Noche, Elisabet Pallàs
Masters Theses
Taking as a point of reference the voice and figure of Carmen Sotillo, the present study analyzes Miguel Delibes’ Cinco horas con Mario (1966), the theatrical adaptation with the same name directed by Josefina Molina, and the film Función de noche (1981), directed also by Molina. The study addresses, on the one hand, the analysis of the mentioned works, establishing a cause-consequence relationship between Carmen’s speech and the educational paradigms of the Francoist regime in regard to women. On the other hand, the study is interested, from a general perspective, in the ideological state apparatuses and the mechanisms destined to …
“The Hour Of The Furnaces: Collaborative Cinema’S Fragmentary Form”, Eunha Choi
“The Hour Of The Furnaces: Collaborative Cinema’S Fragmentary Form”, Eunha Choi
Dissidences
Cinematic structure remains constitutively collaborative. While critics like André Bazin have described cinema as mixed or impure, this article advances the concept of cinema as collaborative aesthetics. The conventional understanding of collaboration is that it represents aggregation, namely the gradual growth toward a total and completed whole. After all, collaborative practice generally works toward identifiable goals. Conversely, I argue here that The Hour of the Furnaces shows us how cinematic collaboration also operates by subtractions, unresolved dissonances, unfinished instances, and contradictions rather than syntheses or cohesive totality. Despite the filmmakers’ express intentions, I contend that their political documentary film lacks …
Masculinidades En Crisis Y Prácticas De Resistencia Feminista En La Literatura Y El Cine Españoles De Autoría Femenina, Carmen Sanchis-Sinisterra
Masculinidades En Crisis Y Prácticas De Resistencia Feminista En La Literatura Y El Cine Españoles De Autoría Femenina, Carmen Sanchis-Sinisterra
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
This dissertation examines the representation of masculinity in crisis in films and novels by contemporary female authors of Spain. The films are El último viaje de Robert Rylands by Gracia Querejeta, Te doy mis ojos by Iciar Bollaín and La vida sin mí by Isabel Coixet. The novels are Amado amo by Rosa Montero, Los aires difíciles by Almudena Grandes and La conquista del aire by Belén Gopegui. The question this dissertation asks is if by introducing male characters that lack power, control and success the works promote practices of feminist resistance. The answer is that they do but, as …
Intenciones Enmascaradas En La Pantalla Plateada. El Santo Y El Mimetismo Imperial, David S. Dalton
Intenciones Enmascaradas En La Pantalla Plateada. El Santo Y El Mimetismo Imperial, David S. Dalton
Alambique. Revista académica de ciencia ficción y fantasía / Jornal acadêmico de ficção científica e fantasía
El cine Mexploitation de los 1960 y 1970 ha recibido poca atención académica debido a las supuestas fallas estéticas que emergieron cuando los directores de este movimiento yuxtaponían los tropos de la ciencia ficción y el horror hollywoodenses a películas protagonizadas por luchadores enmascarados. No obstante, este cine elucida los discursos imperialistas que abundaban en México a mediados del siglo veinte. En este ensayo analizamos el personaje del Santo —el luchador más exitoso del cine Mexploitation— a través de varias películas. Luego afirmamos que su cine postula una colonialidad liminal mexicana. El Santo interpretaba una versión ficticia de sí mismo …
Televisual Subjectivities In Pepe Rojo’S Speculative Fiction From Mexico: 1996-2003, Stephen C. Tobin
Televisual Subjectivities In Pepe Rojo’S Speculative Fiction From Mexico: 1996-2003, Stephen C. Tobin
Alambique. Revista académica de ciencia ficción y fantasía / Jornal acadêmico de ficção científica e fantasía
Pepe Rojo, a key author often tied to the Mexican cyberpunk movement of the 1990s, has been most effective in articulating a kind of visual dystopia in the country that focuses upon television as a key site for constructing dislocated subjectivities. His writing reacts to larger shifts occurring in the country’s field of vision that have been catalyzed by the neoliberal political-economic policy changes and have altered the way in which the mass media culture industry in Mexico functioned in the 1990s. This brought a multitude of changes in how the media industry functioned both internally and externally, ultimately becoming …
Broadcasting The Crisis: Spanish Television As Critique, Eva Velasco Pena
Broadcasting The Crisis: Spanish Television As Critique, Eva Velasco Pena
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
Television is often thought of as monolithic and totalizing, controlling viewers and upholding the status quo. This project will propose different understandings of the mass-medium. In order to historically contextualize my study, I will begin with a brief discussion of the role of television in democratic Spain (from c.1978-present). The thesis will primarily consist of an analysis of two sides of contemporary Spanish TV: fiction and politics; and will explore the way that certain programs, alternately catalyze critical thought and actions or enable spectators to, following John Ellis, “work through” traumatic events. I furthermore propose that imaging a concept might …

Found In Translation: An Analysis Of Popular American Film In Spain, Emily Dushek
Found In Translation: An Analysis Of Popular American Film In Spain, Emily Dushek
Honors Projects
This research examines American popular film in Spain with the aim of understanding if and how removing a popular text (such as a film) from its original language and socio-cultural context and translating it for consumption in a different language and culture affects the interpretation of the film. The study delves into the very successful 2012 films The Avengers (Joss Whedon) and Django Unchained (Quentin Tarantino) and uses textual analyses and comparisons of the original English and the translated Castellano Spanish versions of the films, specifically focusing on the translations, as well as analyses of film reviews and critiques written …

¿Pero Tú Qué Te Has Creído, Que La Guerra Es Una Broma? La Seriedad Del Humor En Diferentes Representaciones Culturales De La Guerra Civil Española, Maria Jesus Lopez Soriano
¿Pero Tú Qué Te Has Creído, Que La Guerra Es Una Broma? La Seriedad Del Humor En Diferentes Representaciones Culturales De La Guerra Civil Española, Maria Jesus Lopez Soriano
Theses and Dissertations--Hispanic Studies
This dissertation analyzes selected pieces of work related to the Spanish Civil War (1936-39) produced during the twenty-first-century as cultural artifacts to be considered in their historical and socio-political context. Specifically, my dissertation focuses on the relationship between the way the conflict is depicted and the message it conveys. Parting from the premise that there has been an overproduction of lieu de mémoire that has transformed the Spanish war into a cultural trend, the civil war-esque, I study a number of humor works. Precisely, these humorous works deconstruct such trend by considering its most common characteristics: the use of metafiction …
Blancura Situacional E Imperio Español En Su Historia, Cine Y Literatura (S.Xix-Xx), Jose Maria Perez Sanchez
Blancura Situacional E Imperio Español En Su Historia, Cine Y Literatura (S.Xix-Xx), Jose Maria Perez Sanchez
Theses and Dissertations--Hispanic Studies
This dissertation studies identity formation and race informed by the discipline Whiteness Studies. As such this dissertation conceptualizes Spanish Whiteness historically and analyzes its representation in Spanish narrative in prose and film. This research responds to two questions: 1) How has Spanish culture historically instrumentalized Blackness thus contributing to the creation of the Western’s conceptualization of Whiteness? 2) What does Spanish representation of Empire say about its Whiteness? In an effort to answer these questions, this study is divided into two parts that correspond to the conceptualization and representation of what are termed ‘Situational Whiteness’ and ‘Imperial Spanish Orientalism.’ I …
Reseña: El Aura De Fabián Bielinsky, Miguel A. Albújar Escuredo
Reseña: El Aura De Fabián Bielinsky, Miguel A. Albújar Escuredo
Department of Modern Languages and Literatures: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Bielinsky narra una historia amparada en dos esferas contrapuestas: el mundo mental y el entorno físico de Esteban. En el primero tal que una consagración platónica al ideal del pensamiento humano, todos los planes encajan, tienen su sentido y tempo correcto, llegando a una resolución armónica, sensata y racional; el segundo mundo es caótico, responde a las coordenadas ajenas de un entorno que Esteban no puede controlar.
Reseña: La Ciudad Sin Límites De Antonio Hernández, Miguel A. Albújar Escuredo
Reseña: La Ciudad Sin Límites De Antonio Hernández, Miguel A. Albújar Escuredo
Department of Modern Languages and Literatures: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
La película ofrece el retrato de una familia de clase alta disfuncional. Sin embargo, lo que en un principio se anticipaba como melodrama familiar con tintes cómicos, cambia sutilmente en una exploración dramática sobre el amor, la culpa y el rencor. Este triple ejercicio se fundamenta en una nefasta herencia tardo-franquista que hasta el final parece estar latente por invisible, pero que por último se revela esencial para entender la psique torturada del padre. El personaje de Leonardo Sbaraglia es el conductor a través de un entramado de mentiras presentes y pasadas, que permiten cubrir la fealdad de una familia …
Reseña: Que Se Mueran Los Feos De Nacho G. Velilla, Miguel A. Albújar Escuredo
Reseña: Que Se Mueran Los Feos De Nacho G. Velilla, Miguel A. Albújar Escuredo
Department of Modern Languages and Literatures: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
La película recurre al recurso del locus amoenus, un lugar paradisíaco donde por su especial enclave metafórico el universo es cerrado y todos los personajes adquieren significado en el interior de la comunidad. El personaje protagonista, Eliseo, es una figura insatisfecha que se muestra inconforme con su posición social, soltero y desgraciado por ello. El hecho de que tenga muchos amigos y todos en el pueblo le tengan cariño y lo valoren, choca con la certeza de que nadie del mismo lo acepta debido a su aspecto físico.
