'A Hundred Times A Man': Chastity, Martial Culture And Manhood In Franco's Spain, Ava M. Golde
'A Hundred Times A Man': Chastity, Martial Culture And Manhood In Franco's Spain, Ava M. Golde
Swarthmore Undergraduate History Journal
Using the military as a case study, this essay seeks to understand how chastity became a symbol of complete regeneration for Spanish society, both in terms of a physical revival of a soldier’s health but also a moral and spiritual reawakening of the Catholic soul. In analyzing military magazines, instructional pamphlets, and the memoirs of soldiers, this paper unpacks the relationship between enforced male chastity and Francoist military masculinity, demonstrating how ideas of manhood were deliberately altered to fit a nationalist project of regeneration. Finally, I place this conception of the “New Spanish Man” within the broader context of militarized …
Writing In The Aftermath Of War: Literature And Disenchantment In Postwar Central America, Nanci Buiza
Writing In The Aftermath Of War: Literature And Disenchantment In Postwar Central America, Nanci Buiza
Spanish Faculty Works
This article examines the challenges faced by Central American writers during a period of profound cultural, political, and economic change, as Central America transitioned from an era of civil war and revolutionary struggle to one of peace, democracy, and neoliberal state-building, spanning from the 1990s to the 2010s. At the core of this change was a pervasive sense of disenchantment, understood not merely as disillusionment with the failures of the peacebuilding process but as a hollowing out of society’s capacity to envision Central American reality on a broader and more meaningful scale. This deeper, more intractable aspect of disenchantment and …

Argentina: Crisis, Conurbano Y Literatura. Cuatro Novelas Del Primer Decenio Del Siglo Veintiuno Y Su Relación Con La Crisis Y El Espacio Bonaerense, Luciano Martínez
Spanish Faculty Works
Este artículo analiza cuatro novelas argentinas contemporáneas: Turdera ( 2003) de Ángela Pradelli, Barrefondo (2010) de Félix Bruzzone, La virgen cabeza (2009) de Gabriela Cabezón Cámara y Las viudas de los jueves (2005) de Claudia Piñeiro. El enfoque se centra en utilizar la noción de ‘crisis’ como referente y marco interpretativo para comprender la complejidad de representar literariamente la realidad argentina contemporánea y sus procesos de exclusión social. Desde la perspectiva del conurbano bonaerense, estos textos ofrecen una visión matizada de las crisis recurrentes en Argentina, explorando cómo afectan identidades y espacios. Las narrativas de estos autores no solo traducen …

Digital Exhibit Of Human Monstrosity, Eli Cohen
Digital Humanities Curricular Development
The final project for SPAN/LITRS 058 is a digital exhibit of human monstrosity. Each student will identify a topic or theme related to human monstrosity in any form and choose representative examples. This project will be presented using an online tool (Scalar) that enables the creation of multimedia exhibits. Students will search for and collect text, images, video and sound recordings of their topic/theme and examples and curate an online exhibit that explores some facet (historical, biological, psychological, social, etc.) of the limits between the human and the monstrous.
Human Monsters: Representations Of The Limits Of Humanity In The Early Modern Period (Span/Litrs 058) Syllabus, Eli Cohen
Digital Humanities Curricular Development
What does it mean to be human? What does it mean to be a monster? Under what conditions and at what point does one exceed or not meet the standards of humanity and become a monster? Focusing on the so-called ‘Age of Exploration,’ this course examines the ways in which authors, artists, politicians and philosophers imagined the limits between the human and the monstrous during the early modern period, identifying their sources and pursuing their lines of influence. Ranging from classical mythology and the medieval worldview to Renaissance drama and the chronicles of the discovery and conquest of the New …

Safeguarding El Salvador’S Transition To Peace And Democracy: A View From The Cultural And Political Magazine Tendencias (1991–2000), Nanci Buiza
Spanish Faculty Works
This article examines the role that the cultural and political magazine Tendencias (1991-2000) played in El Salvador’s transition to peace. Specifically, it studies how Tendencias’s contributors tackled some of the key issues of the transition—the failure to reform the economy, the undermining of the peace process by economic and political elites, and the inability of the FMLN to respond to the new political situation—and argues that the magazine served as a counter to El Salvador’s culture of ideological entrenchment. By fostering democratic and rational-critical discussion, Tendencias opened up a new “public sphere” for El Salvador and gave voice to a …

By critically analyzing works from a range of genres and cultural expressions including poetry, fiction, …

La Música Popular Argentina Entre El Campo Y La Ciudad: Música Campera, Criolla, Nativa, Folklórica, Canción Federal Y Tango, Julia Chindemi Vila, P. Vila
Spanish Faculty Works
In the early twentieth century tango functioned as an important cultural artifact in defense of the integration of the newly arrived European immigrants into the nation. Until it achieved its hegemony in the late 1930s, tango shared popularity with the so-called “canción criolla” (creole song), which commercially competed with great success until the mid-1930s. This type of music was the traditional music of the gaucho, who while physically disappearing from the countryside, was symbolically reinstated as the core of Argentine nationality by the “criollista” movement, promoted by the Argentine elite. At that time tango continuously mix, in a very complex …

In addition to more traditional methods of critical analysis, students will be asked to engage with and develop complementary modes of thinking about and presenting the history of Spanish literature through practices associated with ‘distant reading’ and the development of a digital exhibition consisting of a visual and textual chronology of Spanish literature from its origins through the twenty-first century.

Rodrigo Rey Rosa’S El Material Humano And The Labyrinth Of Postwar Guatemala: On Ethics, Truth, And Justice, Nanci Buiza
Rodrigo Rey Rosa’S El Material Humano And The Labyrinth Of Postwar Guatemala: On Ethics, Truth, And Justice, Nanci Buiza
Spanish Faculty Works
Rodrigo Rey Rosa’s El material humano (2009) grapples with the consequences of Guatemala’s violent past by probing into a once-secret police archive that brings into the present the sufferings of the past. This article demonstrates how the novel unsettles our easy assumptions regarding the relation between documentary truth and the notions of justice and reconciliation. By charting the protagonist’s intellectual and emotional conflicts, I argue that his crisis ultimately serves a homeopathic function that makes possible a special mode of ethical engagement, one which brings into fruitful tension two distinct modes of cognition—thought and affect—and is thus able to register …
