Trabajo Y Literatura: El Topos De La Mujer Obrera En La Narrativa Argentina Del Siglo Xx, Karina Elizabeth Vázquez

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications

El papel del peronismo en la historia del movimiento de los trabajadores en Argentina ha sido extensamente investigado. El trabajo de Juan Carlos Portantiero y Miguel Murmis, Estudios sobre los orígenes del peronismo (1971), ocupó un lugar medular en la profusión de estudios sobre los sectores trabajadores y su identidad política. Entre los más importantes se pueden mencionar Historia del movimiento obrero argentino (1987-1991), de Julio Godio; Resistencia e integración: el peronismo y la clase trabajadora argentina (1945-1976) (1990), de Daniel James; Educación, cultura y trabajadores (1991), de Dora Barrancos; Los trabajadores de Buenos Aires. La experiencia del mercado: …

The Effect Of Explicit Instruction And Input Flood On Students' Use Ofspanish Discourse Markers On A Simulated Oral Proficiency Interview, Todd A. Hernandez

Spanish Languages and Literatures Research and Publications

This study investigates the effect of explicit instruction and input flood on students' use of Spanish discourse markers on a simulated oral proficiency interview. Students in the experimental group (n = 10) were provided with explicit instruction on the function and use of discourse markers to narrate an event in the past time frame. This group also received a flood of input that contained an increased incidence of discourse markers. Students were then presented with opportunities for communicative practice and corrective feedback. In contrast, students in the control group (n = 9) did not receive explicit instruction on the use …

La MatemáTica Y La TeoríA Del Conocimiento En La FiccióN De Jorge Luis Borges, Aleksandra Todorovich

Theses, Dissertations and Culminating Projects

For many of us, connecting math and literature seems very bizarre since we think that it is very hard to use numbers to express our literary thoughts. Yet, we forget that first mathematicians were philosophers (or is it the other way around?) who wanted to explain nature and events around them in simple mathematical findings. Somehow throughout human history, as our knowledge was expanding and it became increasingly harder and harder to be well rounded like the Greeks, we became specialized and detached from other sciences. Nevertheless, math stayed in the core of each new science that would branch throughout …

Las Formas De La Realidad En Cien AñOs De Soledad, John Zimmerman

Theses, Dissertations and Culminating Projects

I picked this novel as a thesis not only because it gives an interesting picture of the life of the Buendia family but also because of its political aspects relating to Latin America and especially Colombia. It describes the Civil Wars in Colombia from 1885 to 1902 in which the liberal and conservative parties played an important role. The novel gives a fascinating account of the massacre of the banana strikers as a result o f the strike against the American United Fruit Company and the members of the Buendia family involved in it.

The Buendias’ genealogy begins with incest, …

Representations Of Latin-American Immigration To Spain In The Late Twentieth And Early Twenty-First Century Narrative And Cinema, Alicia Arribas

Dissertations

As migration movements are becoming more common in our global community, Spain, traditionally an emigrant country, has attracted large numbers of immigrants. This dissertation explores the way in which late twentieth and early twenty-first century narrative and cinema construct discursive representations of Latin American immigration in Spain. The works studied include selections from three anthologies of short stories: Lavapiés, Inmenso estrecho and Inmigración, emigración e interculturalidad ; the novels Salsa by Clara Obligado, Madre mía, que estás en los infiernos by Carmen Jiménez, Las obras infames de Pancho Marambio by Alfredo Bryce Echenique and Nunca pasa nada by José Ovejero; …

Integrative Motivation As A Predictor Of Achievement In The Foreign Language Classroom, Todd A. Hernandez

Spanish Languages and Literatures Research and Publications

This study examines the relationship among five independent variables—integrative motivation, instrumental motivation, the need to fulfill a foreign language requirement, grade point average (GPA), and previous years studying Spanish—as predictors of five dependent variables: scores on a simulated oral proficiency interview (SOPI), final exam grades, final grades, the desire to enroll in Spanish courses after completing the language requirement, and intention to major in Spanish. Data from a questionnaire and a SOPI administered to 130 students enrolled in fourth-semester Spanish identified integrative motivation as a significant predictor of SOPI scores and final exam grades. Furthermore, integrative motivation was a significant …

University Studies Faculty Publications and Presentations

A translation of Jorge Debravo's poem Los Amantes, including a brief introduction with biographical details of the author's life.

La Narrativa De Lucía Etxebarría: Desvelando El Estado Actual De La Mujer Española, Lydia Masanet

The Coastal Review

This article underlines the traits that support the narrative of Lucía Etxebarría in her up-front compromise to unveil and denounce the reality of the Spanish women’s position in the new millennium. The literary universe of Etxebarría, full of false gains, preconditioned determinations, and unreachable expectations, redundantly questions a reality in which women of Spain are immersed, all tricks that if seen from the distance, appear to transfer the practicing of equality mandated by new laws without difficulty.

Soldados De Salamina (2001): Cercas En Busca De Un Héroe Con El Instinto De La Virtud, Marie Guiribitey

The Coastal Review

The work analyzes the role of literature in reconstructing historical memory and in serving to attest against the collective amnesia which takes place during the transition to democracy in Spain. The recreating of a historic episode during the Civil War allows the narrator of Soldados de Salamina to remake the past and call for the recovery of historical memory. Also examined is Maurice Halbwachs’ premise-the need to maintain “an affective community” in order to arrive at a reconstruction of memories.

The Gothic Genre Beyond Borders: Mathew Lewis’S Influence On José De Espronceda’S El Estudiante De Salamanca, Francisco Fernández

The Coastal Review

Once the Gothic crossed the Spanish border, a number of writers were influenced by this genre. This is the case of José de Espronceda in his El estudiante de Salamanca (1840). Influenced by Matthew Lewis’sThe Monk, Espronceda not only uses Gothic conventions when he creates a protagonist haunted by a ghost but also subverts them by reversing the villain-victim relationship for the sake of poetic justice. As a result, the development of the plot is more strongly justified, for the hero’s sins are, after all, what lead him to his tragic end.

Unamunian Microcosms: Four Short Stories In A New Translation Into English, Emily A. Davis

Theses and Dissertations

Spanish writer Miguel de Unamuno's short fiction is neglected in both the academic and nonacademic communities, and it is especially underrepresented in English-language translation. This thesis constitutes a comprehensive approach to four short stories: "El que se enterró," "La manchita de la uña," "Mecanópolis," and "Batracófilos y batracófobos." A detailed exploration of thematic resonances among them, and between these and other works by Unamuno, precedes side-by-side translations of all four texts, of which only "Mecanópolis" has been previously published in English translation.

La Mujer Guerrillera En Recuerdo Y Texto: Nicaragua Y El Salvador, Berta Avila

Pitzer Senior Theses

La mujer guerrillera en Latinoamérica es un fenómeno del siglo veinte. Los conflictos armados de Centroamérica crearon condiciones donde la mujer se vio obligada a salir de su rol femenino tradicional para asistir en la lucha armada. Nicaragua y El Salvador son dos países donde los conflictos llegaron a un final, sea por medio de un derrocamiento exitoso del gobierno o por acuerdos de paz. Las mujeres que decidieron participar activamente en la lucha contra el gobierno llegaron a ese punto por vías diferentes y con diferentes metas, pero la experiencia de ser mujer en un ambiente tradicionalmente dominado por …

Ficción E Historia En Gabriel García Márquez : Cien Años De Soledad Y Vivir Para Contarla, Wilfredo VizcaíNo

Theses, Dissertations and Culminating Projects

Los personajes de estas dos obras de García Márquez se comprometen con la realidad social y literaria, en una necesidad vital de reafirmarse como pueblo condenado por la fatalidad de los errores históricos y la búsqueda de una identidad enclavada en un pasado convulsivo.

Éste trabajo se propondrá examinar a través de la intertextualidad de las memorias, la tradición oral, los acontecimientos y los personajes, que estas dos obras, Cien años de soledad, y Vivir para contarla no son solamente el resultado de los artificios literarios, sino una correspondencia literaria de dimensiones mítico-mesiánicas dentro de un marco de una visión …

Translation In Context: Cultural Globalization And Santiago Roncagliolo, Megan K. Moore

Renée Crown University Honors Thesis Projects - All

This is a translation from Spanish to English of the short story “Una influencia criminal” [A Criminal Influence] by Santiago Roncagliolo, part of a collection of short stories titled Crecer es un oficio triste [Growing Up is Sad Business], also by Roncagliolo. A description and analysis of concurrent literary movements and themes accompanies the translation, placing “Una influencia criminal” into a literary context with the multinational movements known as McOndo and Generation X. Globalization can be considered to affect the movement and sharing of culture as an expansion of the economic dispersion of goods across the world, and so modern …

Spain has experienced the powerful force and changing effects of globalization, especially after the death of Francisco Franco's and the demise of his regime. Spanish women especially have embraced the changing social environment in Spain by enrolling in institutions of higher education in greater numbers and entering the work force by developing careers in business and other fields.

Eusebio Chacón’S Statist Narratives Of Nuevo México, Daisy Salazar

NACCS Annual Conference Proceedings

Abstract:

The 1890s in New Mexico were a time of considerable political, cultural, and social upheaval as the question of statehood – which would remain unresolved until 1912 – roiled the population. In 1892 Eusebio Chacón’s two novellas, El Hijo de la Tempestad and Tras la Tormenta la Calma, appeared in “El Boletín Popular,” one of Northern New Mexico’s largest Spanish-language newspapers. “El Boletín Popular’s” positive stance towards statehood offers a political lens through which we might read Chacón’s fiction as a proactive instantiation of nuevomexicano cultural tradition. In his introductions to the novellas Chacón denies any Anglo literary …
