La Puerta A Europa: Percepciones De La Inmigración En Andalucía, Kristin Glasheen
La Puerta A Europa: Percepciones De La Inmigración En Andalucía, Kristin Glasheen
Honors Theses
A lo largo de los últimos veinte años, España ha experimentado un incremento tremendo de inmigración, lo que ha contribuido a nombrar España “la puerta a Europa.” Esta tesis examinará la inmigración contemporánea, particularmente en la comunidad autónoma de Andalucía, y el impacto de factores como identidad nacional y regional, género y la actual crisis económica en las percepciones que tienen los españoles de la inmigración. El análisis se basa tanto en entrevistas personales con directores de varias organizaciones no gubernamentales en las ciudades de Córdoba, Sevilla y Almería como en obras literarias y cinemáticas.

Feminicidios En Cd. Juárez: Sombras Del Evanescente Olvido; Luces De Lucha, Fuerza Y Resistencia, Amber Ramirez
Honors Theses
Desde principios de los años noventa, mujeres y niñas en Cd. Juárez, Chihuahua, México han sido raptadas de día y de noche mientras se dirigen al trabajo, a sus casas, o a la escuela. Después de días, semanas y a veces hasta años, muchas han sido encontradas brutalmente asesinadas, calcinadas, mutiladas, violadas y torturadas; sus cuerpos han sido abandonados para luego ser localizados completamente desnudos o parcialmente vestidos, en completo estado de descomposición o solamente en huesos en las calles en las zonas desérticas de Cd. Juárez. El paradero de muchas otras mujeres y niñas aún se desconoce y a …
El Uso Del Quechua En El Perú: Una Investigación De Identidad Y Performance Cultural, Theresa A. Renker
El Uso Del Quechua En El Perú: Una Investigación De Identidad Y Performance Cultural, Theresa A. Renker
Honors Theses and Capstones
Utilizando varias fuentes diversas de campos de estudio diferentes, este trabajo investiga temas de autenticidad y autoridad como son relacionados a los “performances” culturales que tantas personas indígenas son forzadas dar para evitar la discriminación cultural y sobrevivir económicamente. Este proyecto se enfoca en el doble siguiente: la sociedad peruana dominante rechaza el quechua por representar atraso, mientras a la vez frecuentemente idealizándolo como reliquia del imperio inca. Generalmente quechua-hablantes del Perú no tienen el espacio ni la autoridad cultural necesarios para establecer sus propias identidades distintas. Concepciones sociales de sus culturas y formas de hablar son construidas por una …

Theoretical Approach In A Case In Diachronic Phonetism: Betacism And Its Repercussions In Modern Spanish (Acercamiento Teórico A Un Caso De Fonetismo Diacrónico: El Betacismo Y Sus Repercursiones), Eva NúÑEz-MéNdez
World Languages and Literatures Faculty Publications and Presentations
This research deals with the loss of distinction between the bilabial and labiodental sounds, /b/and /v/, in Spanish using a theoretical and linguistic diachronical perspective. The phonetic evolution of these sounds and their confusion dates back t0 the roots of the Spanish language in the Peninsula territories, especially in the north, in close geographic contact with the Basque. This confusion was already taking place in Vulgar Latin and, specifically, in the Vulgar Latin spoken in the Peninsula. This lack of distinction evolved slowly until the seventeenth century when both sounds lost their phonemic contrast. Differences between the …
El Wavering Imaginativo Y La Conciencia Imaginante En Los Cuentos De Marvel Moreno Y Angela Carter, Alejandra Olarte
El Wavering Imaginativo Y La Conciencia Imaginante En Los Cuentos De Marvel Moreno Y Angela Carter, Alejandra Olarte
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
In this dissertation, I explore the short stories of Colombian writer Marvel Moreno and English writer Angela Carter. I propose that the authors' works share a dual conceptualization of the notion of imagination -- imaginative wavering and imagining consciousness. These conceptualizations constitute interpretative frameworks to comparatively examine textual strategies and themes within the authors' works of fiction. A fundamental characteristic of both imaginative wavering and imagining consciousness is movement. With the former, movement implies a constant oscillation between intradiegetic reality and rational thinking, as exposed in the stories. With the latter, movement entails the act of grasping the reality that …
Preservation Or Progression : Indo-Trinidadian Cultural Fluidity As Seen Through The Works Of V.S. Naipaul And Shani Mootoo, Mohua Chakraborti
Preservation Or Progression : Indo-Trinidadian Cultural Fluidity As Seen Through The Works Of V.S. Naipaul And Shani Mootoo, Mohua Chakraborti
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
The aim of this thesis is to clarify and analyze the arguments about national and marginal identity made by two Indo-Trinidadian authors, V.S. Naipaul and Shani Mootoo. Naipaul argues that Trinidad as a nation cannot survive because it must be dependent on colonial rule. He argues that Indo-Trinidadian's are neither British nor Indian, and they lack identity and stability. In contrast, Mootoo argues that Trinidad is fully capable of establishing its own identity, and that Indo-Trinidadian culture does not need colonization nor India to define it. She argues that culture is a fluid and constantly changing idea. Mootoo recognizes the …

Los Sistemas De Sa Iud: Una Comparacion Entre Illinois, Ee.Uu. Y Cataluna, Espana (A Comparison Of Healthcare Systems In Illinois, Usa And Catalonia, Spain), Jennifer Boll
Honors Projects
This project focuses on the differences in healthcare systems in Illinois, United States and Catalonia, Spain. The research includes a literature review on the different systems and the fundamental differences in how care is delivered. An investigation of the major differences in the cultural and political approaches to health care and how the systems provide for their patients is part of the study. Another focus is the treatment of Spanish-speaking patients in hospitals in Illinois and also the treatment of patients who speak Castilian (traditional Spanish) in hospitals in Catalan-speaking Barcelona. This comparison displays the importance of language in the …

La Nación En Llamas: Representaciones Femeninas Del Nacionalismo Vasco Durante La Guerra Civil Española, Iker González-Allende
La Nación En Llamas: Representaciones Femeninas Del Nacionalismo Vasco Durante La Guerra Civil Española, Iker González-Allende
Spanish Language and Literature Papers
En los conflictos bélicos, a la mujer se la ha relacionado tradicionalmente con la retaguardia, erigiéndose como modelo de víctima inocente y del sufrimiento de la población civil debido al hambre, las penurias y los bombardeos, así como la soledad y la incertidumbre causadas por la ausencia del esposo y/o los hijos. Ahora bien, la separación entre el frente y la retaguardia y la caracterización de esta última como el único espacio de las mujeres resultan en realidad un mito, puesto que durante las guerras la población civil es víctima de numerosos ataques, y los pueblos y las ciudades terminan …
El Ex-Hombre: Masculinidad Y Exilio En La Poesía De Juan José Domenchina, Iker González-Allende
El Ex-Hombre: Masculinidad Y Exilio En La Poesía De Juan José Domenchina, Iker González-Allende
Spanish Language and Literature Papers
This article analyzes the representation of masculinity in Juan José Domenchina’s poetry of exile. The article argues that, during his last 20 years of life in exile (1939–1959), Domenchina shows in his poetry a contradictory masculinity. On the one hand, he reaffirms normative masculinity by rejecting pompous demonstrations of suffering, describing himself as stoic, tough, strong-willed and independent, and praising nostalgically Castilian men’s hypermasculine behavior. On the other hand, Domenchina’s poetry also testifies to his feelings of emasculation, since he calls himself an “ex-man”, shows his masculine fragmentation with the figures of the doppelganger or shadow, identifies himself with a …
El Erotismo En La Obra De Rebeca Uribe (1934-1941), Leonor Alejandra Silva Lomelí
El Erotismo En La Obra De Rebeca Uribe (1934-1941), Leonor Alejandra Silva Lomelí
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
La poesía de la escritora Rebeca Uribe (1911-1949) pertenece a un corpus literario que requiere ser atendido por la crítica. La presente investigación tiene como objetivos dar a conocer las composiciones eróticas de esta autora mediante el análisis crítico y metodológico, así como brindar un primer acercamiento que fomente estudios posteriores. En esta investigación se propone que los poemas eróticos de Rebeca Uribe presentan una voz lírica que se entrega totalmente al ser amado con la finalidad de ser correspondida con la misma intensidad, y practica una sexualidad liberada que se manifiesta en la experimentación de relaciones erótico-amorosas de tipo …
Relocating The Cowboy: American Privilege In "All The Pretty Horses", Maia Y. Rodriguez
Relocating The Cowboy: American Privilege In "All The Pretty Horses", Maia Y. Rodriguez
Global Tides
American novelist Cormac McCarthy published the first installment of his Border Trilogy, a novel entitled All The Pretty Horses, only a decade before the turn of the 21st century. Within a few months, essays by Alan Cheuse and Vereen M. Bell would set the tone for scholarship on McCarthy's work for the decade to follow. However, in 2012 Jordan Savage revolutionized the conversation on the concept of "border" within the Border Trilogy, identifying it as an ideological myth. This paper will further Savage’s analysis using Jacques Derrida’s Deconstructionist theory in order to analyze the binaries created by the border …
Acoustic Epistemologies And Aurality In Sor Juana Inés De La Cruz, Sarah E. Finley
Acoustic Epistemologies And Aurality In Sor Juana Inés De La Cruz, Sarah E. Finley
Theses and Dissertations--Hispanic Studies
This dissertation considers the intersection of aurality and visuality in seventeenth-century New Spanish poet Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz’s (1648/1651-95) acoustico-poetic discourse. Prior scholarship has focused either on the author’s engagement with Western music theory and compositional practices or else the role of musical references in her works. This has resulted in the marginalization of Sor Juana’s engagement with sound through disciplines that are not strictly musical or poetic, including: acoustics, cognitive theory and visual art. I address these lacunae by considering such concepts as echo, reflection, Ear, Voice, musica poetica (links between music and rhetoric) and musical pathos …
Decadent Wealth, Degenerate Morality, Dominance, And Devotion: The Discordant Iconicity Of The Rich Mountain Of Potosí, Claudia A. Cornejo Happel
Decadent Wealth, Degenerate Morality, Dominance, And Devotion: The Discordant Iconicity Of The Rich Mountain Of Potosí, Claudia A. Cornejo Happel
Publications
The rich mountain of Potosí, with its famed silver mines, has commanded the attention of Europeans, creoles (Americans of Spanish descent), and indigenous Andeans since the Spanish colonizers of Peru were made aware of its existence in 1545. Soon after its discovery, the rich mountain was represented in a variety of written and visual texts created by writers and artists from the Andes, Spain, and other parts of Europe. Independent of its physical form, in these representations the rich mountain assumed a discursive meaning, functioning as an icon that, depending on the context, represented abstract ideas of wealth, immorality, dominance, …
Egiazko Misterioa Euskararen: La Politique Linguistique, Les Methodes Educatives, Et La Revitalisation De La Langue Basque En France Et En Espagne Du Vingtieme Siecle Jusquau Present, Rose Cooper-Finger
Scripps Senior Theses
The Basque people and their language have been politically oppressed for centuries. I examine the history of the Basque language and how its oppression and revitalization have been shaped by the language policies of France and Spain, the two countries spanned by the Basque country. I focus my research and predictions on the French Basque Country, which is currently subject to a more oppressive language policy than Spanish Basque Country. The number of Basque-speaking bilinguals in the French Basque Country is decreasing and attitudes regarding instruction of the language have become more apathetic. I explore governmental, community, and combined efforts …
The Strange Loop: Paradoxical Hierarchies In Borges's Fictions, Jessica Erin Beebe
The Strange Loop: Paradoxical Hierarchies In Borges's Fictions, Jessica Erin Beebe
Honors Projects
In Gödel, Escher, and Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid, Douglas Hofstadter studies how three great minds created their own version of what he calls the “Strange Loop.” The Strange Loop is a paradoxical construction, a shift from one level of abstraction to another that somehow gives rise to a closed, eternal cycle. In other words, despite one’s sense of departing ever further from one’s origin, one winds up, to one’s shock, exactly where one had started out. I argue that this paradoxical model is prevalent in Jorge Luis Borges’s short stories and that by applying Hofstadter’s model to Borges’s …

[Introduction To] Escrituras A Ras De Suelo: Crónica Latinoamericana Del Siglo Xx, Marcela Aguilar, Claudia Darrigrandi, Mariela Méndez, Antonia Viu
Bookshelf
El proyecto de publicar una colección de artículos sobre la crónica latinoamericana aparecida en el siglo xx, principalmente entre 1930 y 1970, intenta hacerse cargo de una producción mucho menos estudiada que la crónica modernista o que la crónica de las últimas décadas, problematizando las definiciones y fundamentos que se le han atribuido al género a partir de esas tradiciones. Más que una nueva revisión de tales concepciones de la crónica, lo que el lector encontrará en los escritos agrupados en las distintas secciones de este libro son elementos parciales y problemas concretos que surgen en muy distintos contextos y …
La Influencia De Don Quijote En La Música Clásica Europea 1605-1935, Julia Connor
La Influencia De Don Quijote En La Música Clásica Europea 1605-1935, Julia Connor
Honors Papers
Desde su publicación en 1605 y 1615, El ingenioso hidalgo Don Quijote de la Mancha por Miguel Cervantes ha sido una fuente de inspiración importantísima para la música clásica europea fuera de España. En esta tesis exploraré esta inspiracion usando tres preguntas: ¿Por qué hay tantas obras musicales sobre Don Quijote? ¿Cuál aspecto de la novela le hace bien para poner a música? ¿Qué ha sido la importancia de estas obras en la historia de la música clásica europea? Quisiera explorar estas preguntas desde una perspectiva histórica y social dividida por país.
Aunque hay muchas obras musicales inspiradas por Don …
Crítica Contextural: El Corazón Del Instante De Alberto Blanco: Ensayo De Un Método, Carlos Zamora-Zapata
Crítica Contextural: El Corazón Del Instante De Alberto Blanco: Ensayo De Un Método, Carlos Zamora-Zapata
Theses and Dissertations--Hispanic Studies
The most common approaches to arranged Poetic Collection are the chronological and the bibliographical orders, that is, the ones that privileges a book that normally would be called an anthology: the arrangements of poems following the order of the compositions of the poems (chronological), or the order of previous publications (bibliographical). "El corazón del instante" (The Heart of the Instant, 1998) by the Mexican poet Alberto Blanco (Mexico City, 1951) is a collection of twelve books of poems in one volume. The books in the collection --or the “chapters”, as Alberto Blanco call them in his “Introductory Note” of the …
Staging Theseus: The Mythological Image Of The Prince In The Comedia Of The Spanish Golden Age, Whitaker R. Jordan
Staging Theseus: The Mythological Image Of The Prince In The Comedia Of The Spanish Golden Age, Whitaker R. Jordan
Theses and Dissertations--Hispanic Studies
This dissertation uses the seventeenth-century Spanish plays which employ an array of mythological stories of Theseus to analyze the Early Modern ideology of the Prince. The consideration of the different rulers in these plays highlights different aspects of these sovereigns such as their honor, prudence, valor, and self-control. Many of these princes fall well short of the ideal explained in the comedia and in the writings of the arbitristas. By employing the hylomorphic theory in which everything can exist in either its matter or its form, it is shown that in order to have the form of a prince, …

En Sobre la violencia: seis reflexiones marginales, Slavoj Zizek cuenta la anécdota de un hombre sospechoso de robar en el trabajo. Cada tarde los vigilantes inspeccionan su carretilla, pero nunca encuentran nada. Un día descubren el ardid: lo que el trabajador está robando son las carretillas. He tratado en este libro titulado SISMA de actuar como ese obrero frente al lenguaje y el Poder. El lenguaje que es una manifestación humana debe ser "robado" de los aparatos ideológicos del Estado (Althusser) y del Poder (Foucault). Mi investigación poetica se centra en el terremoto que asoló parte del Perú en el …
Literatura Sobre La Frontera Norte Mexicana: Comparación Y Análisis Del Discurso Pragmático, Emily Celeste Vázquez Enríquez
Literatura Sobre La Frontera Norte Mexicana: Comparación Y Análisis Del Discurso Pragmático, Emily Celeste Vázquez Enríquez
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
En este trabajo se comparan cuatro novelas que incluyen a la frontera del norte de México entre sus páginas. El punto de diferencia del cual la comparación parte es el origen de los autores. Lo anterior se debe a que en la tradición del trabajo crítico que ha intentado entender y definir la literatura de la zona, uno de los principales puntos de debate refiere al cuestionamiento de si importa la pertenencia de los escritores al lugar narrado. Mientras hay críticos y académicos que afirman que las obras de la literatura norfronteriza mexicana son únicamente aquéllas escritas por autores de …
