Marina Y Cleopatra En El Escenario Teatral, Jon Paul Lawton
Marina Y Cleopatra En El Escenario Teatral, Jon Paul Lawton
World Languages and Cultures Student Papers and Posters
Cleopatra and Doña Marina come from distinct time periods in world history— respectively, the declining Ptolemaic dynasty of Egypt and the age of the Spanish conquest. Literature has been inspired by these historical figures, creating various interpretations of this Egyptian queen and Aztec translator. Fundamentally, these two personalities share similarities: both women fall in love with foreign invaders and harness influence in the political arena of their times. For this, they must rectify their romantic desires with loyalty for their home countries. The plays Todos los gatos son pardos by Carlos Fuentes and Antony and Cleopatra by William Shakespeare reveal …

Develando La Cuba Profunda: Tradición Mágico-Religiosa En El Teatro Cubano Contemporáneo, Jeniffer Fernández Hernández
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Contemporary Cuban theater has proved to be a fertile platform for the representation, promotion, and dissemination of traditional popular culture, especially that vein derived from the African heritage. From the ritual legacy of Afro-Cuban religious beliefs—santería, palo monte, sociedad secreta abakuá, voodoo, espiritismo cruzado—and the rich mythology on which they are inspired, a cultural production has emerged that uniquely affects Cuban performing arts. It is in this respect that, after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution in 1959, several theater groups and creators throughout the Island have imbued, as an aesthetic motto, dramatic writing and staging with such magico-religious practices. …

Majors: Music and Spanish
Faculty Mentor: Dr. Monica Simal
After the abolition of slavery on the island in 1886, Black Cubans struggled for equality and a place in a White-dominated society. The twentieth century brought about a deeper exploration of Afro-Cuban culture and identity through several forms of art. This project delves into the music, literature, and art of twentieth century Afro-Cuban artists and examines how they used the arts to communicate their identity to a society in political turmoil. It compares the representation of Blacks and Blackness before and during Fidel Castro’s revolution. The project also explores how the …

On this basis, I focus on the first author to examine the implications arising from the act of thinking the interwar crisis, the function of the intellectual, and the cultural processes of the past through the geographical and temporal context in which it is consumed. In light of the narratives of some of the great European thinkers of the time (Hazard, Berdyaev, Benda, Maurois, etc.), Esquerra in his literary criticism projects a concern for the future of …
