José, Joe, Zé Carioca: Walt Disney's Good Neighbor Colonial "Monument" In Brazil, Andrew Kelly Nelson

Theses and Dissertations

Although Walt Disney's early animated feature films were successful, a variety of economic, operational, and external forces required him to continually be on the cutting edge of new ideas and technologies in order for his studio to continue operations. Latin America became the studio's source of inspiration in the early 1940s, sprouting from Walt Disney's involvement with the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs. Saludos Amigos and The Three Caballeros were the result. While many critics have decried Disney's involvement in Latin America as being an apparatus of cultural imperialism and economic exploitation, they almost universally give him credit …

Norms Of Valence And Arousal For 14,031 Spanish Words, Hans Stadthagen-Gonzalez, Constance Imbault, Miguel A. Pérez Sánchez, Marc Brysbaert

Faculty Publications

Most current models of research on emotion recognize valence (how pleasant a stimulus is) and arousal (the level of activation or intensity that a stimulus elicits) as important components in the classification of affective experiences (Barrett, 1998; Kuppens, Tuerlinckx, Russell, & Barrett, 2012). Here we present a set of norms for valence and arousal for a very large set of Spanish words, including items from a variety of frequencies, semantic categories, and parts of speech, including a subset of conjugated verbs. In this regard, we found that there were significant but very small differences between the ratings for conjugations of …

El Spill De Jaume Roig. Estudio De Relaciones Semióticas Con La Picaresca, Raul Macias Cotano

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

The Spill is a literary work written in the Catalan dialect of Valencia in 1460 by Jaume Roig, a prestigious doctor whose personal and public life is well known. The book presents numerous parallels with Lazarillo de Tormes, the 1554 novel written in Spanish (or “Castilian”) that has traditionally been considered the start of the picaresque genre in Spain. These similarities are so striking that it makes critics wonder if Spill may be a precedent of Lazarillo de Tormes. This dissertation studies the possible relations between those two books. The similarities are mostly thematic, for which the lens …

Lengua Y Violencias En Colombia: Discursos Sobre Patrimonio Lingüístico (1991-2010), Carolina Chaves-O'Flynn

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

This study explores the forms of invisible violence that inhabit contemporary representations of the Spanish language in Colombia and which, under institutional protection, manage to intervene in its social order. The general hypothesis proposed in this work is that, language representations in Colombia are discursively naturalized and reproduce categories oriented towards the nation’s social, political and cultural order. Once normalized in that sense, these beliefs produce invisible forms of violence that tend to be reproduced through language discourses in which the main ideological power lies in their apparently apolitical nature. These discourses are thus not read critically, but they are …

Culturas Emocionales: Narrativa Escrita Por Mujeres Cubanas Durante El Periodo Especial (1992–2005), Laura Sandez

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects

This dissertation studies the emotional repertories employed in the presentation of the female literary subject in the Cuban special period, a period of rapid ideological shift. It deals with the presentation of the self in a series of fictional autobiographic works whose portraits of history and society allow for the observation of diverse emotional repertories, looking for social and ethical value attributed to emotions such as happiness or nostalgia. The dissertation has two modes, a written one and a visual one I produce using digital media. The written part features a close textual analysis of emotional repertories found in literary …

Culturally And Linguistically Humble: A Preparation For Living Abroad, Diana Gonzalez

Northwestern Review

Presented in 2016 at Baekseok University in Cheonan City, South Korea at the 8^th international conference of the International Association for the Promotion of Christian Higher Education (IAPCHE), this paper lays out the rationale for the approach taken in Northwestern College’s required preparations for students studying abroad. Elements in the preparation include getting students to identify influences on them of their home culture; to talk about their motivations and goals for studying abroad; to engage with Duane Elmer’s Cross-Cultural Connections and David Smith’s Learning from the Stranger; and perhaps most importantly, to engage with E. Hockett, L. Samek, …

Pos-Simulacro E Hipermodernidad En Como La Sombra Que Se Va, De Antonio Muñoz Molina, Sergio Restrepo

Nomenclatura: aproximaciones a los estudios hispánicos

Demostraré que Antonio Muñoz Molina, en su novela Como la sombra que se va (2014) supera el paradigma posmoderno de simulacro. La novela entrecruza geográficamente Lisboa tres relatos: una crónica de la escapada de James Earl Ray después de asesinar al reverendo Martin Luther King y las memorias de la creación tanto de su novela El invierno en Lisboa (1987) como de Como la sombra que se va. Muñoz Molina proyecta la crónica de Ray y la memoria de la creación de El invierno en Lisboa no sobre una Lisboa hiperreal, sino sobre un espacio concreto en el que …

Pijoaparte: El Pícaro Supermoderno En Últimas Tardes Con Teresa, De Juan Marsé, Nélida I. Devesa-Gómez

Nomenclatura: aproximaciones a los estudios hispánicos

En este ensayo propongo una lectura de Manolo “el pijoaparte”, protagonista de Últimas tardes con Teresa de Juan Marsé, como revisión de la figura del pícaro. Para ello, mi análisis se centra, por un lado, en la construcción del personaje, y por otro, en su relación con el espacio urbano. Apoyándome en las teorías de Marc Augé y Michel de Certeau, sugiero que Últimas tardes con Teresa presenta un contraste entre la modernidad representada por Barcelona y la burguesía, y el pijoaparte, que a través de su itinerario por la ciudad, motivado por la aspiración social, muestra una actitud supermoderna.

Sábato: Consagración En La Ficción Y Marginación En La Ensayística, Héctor M. Gutiérrez

Nomenclatura: aproximaciones a los estudios hispánicos

Se propone una periodización de la vida y obra de Sábato en tres etapas bien definidas. Estas tres fases, instauradas en su formación intelectual, se bosquejan progresivamente, siguiendo un orden no estrictamente cronológico, sino equilibradamente estructurado por los siguientes temas o preocupaciones centrales de cada período: la ciencia, (1925-1955) la política (1956-1976) y la espiritualidad (1980-2011). La primera etapa, esbozada en el presente artículo, delimita su profundo rompimiento con el mundo de la razón instrumental y el abandono de su carrera científica, proyectado en su libro de ensayos Uno y el Universo.

Recuperar Cuerpos: Imágenes Olvidadas Bajo Los Escombros De La Historia De La Literatura Ecuatoriana. Ideas Para Una Metodología, Karina S. Marín

Nomenclatura: aproximaciones a los estudios hispánicos

Desde el acercamiento a los cuerpos de la novela fundacional A la Costa (Martínez, 1904), propongo como estrategia de lectura un proceso de remoción de escombros para encontrar restos y cicatrices que nos ayuden a entender y descentrar la idea de modernidad sobre la que se alza la tradición literaria ecuatoriana. Afirmo que una mirada atenta de los detalles usados para describir los cuerpos presentes en los textos más emblemáticos del canon literario ecuatoriano revela la paradoja latente en esa escritura: si por un lado se constituyen en imagen de lo inviable ante la potencia del proyecto nacional, por otro, …

The Feminine Characters In Soledad Acosta’S Una Holandesa En América And The Construction Of A New National Model, Laura Lopez

Nomenclatura: aproximaciones a los estudios hispánicos

In the novel Una holandesa en América (A Dutchwoman in America), Soledad Acosta (1833-1913, Bogota, Colombia) traces the journey of a young woman, Lucía, to America. Acosta uses literary models such as the Bildungsroman and the chronicles of European travelers to explore women’s place in society of her time and the question of European modernity against American “barbarism” in the context of national construction. As most of the speeches around this topic are from men, Acosta offers a different point of view in the debate and puts into question-established ideas.

Evaluative Reactions To Nonnative Spanish, Nyssa Knarvik, Cecily Corbett

Languages, Literatures, and Cultures Other Graduate Student Scholarship

This study investigates whether there is a relationship between the native Spanish “Rater” evaluative reactions of Spanish spoken by second-language learners, called “Talkers,” based on the distance of their first language from Spanish. The Talkers’ first languages are grouped by distance from Spanish: close (Brazilian Portuguese and French), mid (Serbian and Polish), and far (Korean and Chinese). The Raters (n=50) are played recordings of the six Talkers reading the same story in Spanish and they are asked to rate each Talker on a 7-point Likert scale in 15 different categories (e.g. unintelligent/intelligent, easy/difficult to understand, and outgoing/shy). Results show statistically …

Pirandello And Satire. The Imaginary Journey Of Four Authors In Search Of A Character According To Charles Kenneth Scott Moncrieff (1889-1930), Stefano Giannini

Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics - All Scholarship

Drawing on a little-known work by Scott-Moncrieff, this article investigates Luigi Pirandello’s intellectual and literary reach across genres and space, from theater to pamphlets, from Italy to the English-speaking world. A talented writer and translator, Charles K. Scott-Moncrieff published “The Strange & Striking Adventures of Four Authors in Search of a Character” by P. G. Lear & L. O in 1926. The title of the pamphlet, and the acronym of the fictional author are references to Pirandello and to his Six Characters in Search of an Author. Scott-Moncrieff had all the documents in order to write about, or in …

Toasting México In The American West: Brindis Poems And Political Loyalties Of Women's Mexican Patriotic Clubs, Vanessa O. Perez

English Faculty Publications

Brindis poems were popular in the nineteenth century. Accompanied by the raise of a glass, their verses were meant to celebrate a person or event. Only two decades after the Mexican-American War, Latinas/os living in the newly annexed territories of the American West found themselves using the brindis genre to declare their loyalties to Mexico against a new invader, France. Among the most ardent supporters of the Mexican army's fight against French imperialism were lower and middle-class Latinas who formed Mexican patriotic clubs exclusively for women in California and Nevada. This article examines one brindis series recited by women of …

Women In Warfare: Spanish Christian Soldiers As Rapists In Early Modern Romances, Stacey L. Parker Aronson

Spanish Publications

The omnipresence of military conflict brings many hardships and dangers for women in Early Modern Europe. In the socio-historical reality of military skirmishes since time immemorial, the rape of the female (and male) occupants of conquered territory was as ubiquitous and as opportunistic an act as one could imagine by which to brutalize and demean the populace. I will analyze two romances—“Romance cuarto. De cómo don Rodrigo de Vivar mató á dos moros que forzaban una dama mora y la rescató” and “Soldados forzadores”—both of which describe the rape of women by Spanish Christian soldiers. While Spanish Christian soldiers might …
