1% Left Of 100: Taino History And Puerto Rican Identity, Alanis Gonzalez Torres
1% Left Of 100: Taino History And Puerto Rican Identity, Alanis Gonzalez Torres
Undergraduate Research Symposium
1% left of 100 is a documentary poetics research project exploring the confluence of identity, family, and language. Crafted in a hybrid format that mixes Spanish and English according to my personal idiolect, which is itself a product of my heritage as a Puerto Rican, Africa, native Taino American, this poem engages with exciting new approaches to thinking about race which liberate us from talking about physical features and takes us instead toward race as a social fact, a product of culture, history, and family. I seek to intervene in a narrative of American history that, though it teaches about …
How To Attract African American College Students To Study Spanish: A Model For Virginia State University, Erika M. Neal
How To Attract African American College Students To Study Spanish: A Model For Virginia State University, Erika M. Neal
Virginias Collegiate Honors Council Conference
Being culturally aware and able to communicate with people from different regions of the world is one of the most critical skills a student of color can obtain during their educational career. Not only will a student’s perspective of the world be altered, but their market value will skyrocket by 5-10% on average according to Forbes. Being bilingual or multilingual is a skill that can be applied to any career field in today’s society. Unfortunately, many African American students have had little to no exposure to foreign languages and cultures specifically Spanish. Even for those who have had some exposure …
Women On Top: Power And Transgression In The Libro Del Conde Partinuplés, Martha Daas
Women On Top: Power And Transgression In The Libro Del Conde Partinuplés, Martha Daas
World Languages and Cultures Faculty Publications
English
In the romance tradition, women are relegated to “ideal love” or distracting presence, either Virgin (Christian presence) or Witch/Whore (pagan presence). The women in the Spanish Conde Partinuplés, however, transgress their typical roles. Throughout the tale, Partinuplés is aided by a succession of women who do not follow the rules of Romance. Through the transgression of gender and racial norms, the female-dominated spaces become spaces of transformative power. In direct opposition are the male-dominated Christian-identified spaces of the Church and Court. During the romance these spaces hold only treachery and falsehood for the young Count. The ambiguity of the …
Carlos Saura Y La Relativización De La Historia Y La Memoria Antes De La Transición, Luis Guadaño
Carlos Saura Y La Relativización De La Historia Y La Memoria Antes De La Transición, Luis Guadaño
World Languages and Cultures Faculty Publications
(First paragraph) La idea principal del presente trabajo es la de intentar darle una nueva perspectiva a tres películas de Saura- El jardín de las delicias (1970), La prima Angélica (1973) y Cría cuervos (1975)- que las pondría en relación con el espíritu de la transición y no solamente con la oposición política al regimen de Franco. La crítica ha analizado estas películas principalmente desde una perspectiva que hace referencia al context histórico-político específico de su aparición dentro de la dictadura de Franco. Así, por ejemplo, se han interpretado como los últimos coletazos críticos al Régimen poco antes de su …
Re-Inventing Alexander: From Christian Warrior To Pagan Saint, Martha Mary Daas
Re-Inventing Alexander: From Christian Warrior To Pagan Saint, Martha Mary Daas
World Languages and Cultures Faculty Publications
In this essay I examine the appropriation of the Alexander legend by the Spanish author of the Libro de Alexandre to determine to what degree the poet's creation of a new mythic hero successfully fulfills the ideal of the Christian medieval warrior. By examining the poet's attempt at Christianizing the great warrior, I prove that Alexander retains his standing as a mythic figure: one who cannot be contained within a single ideological interpretation.
