La Novelística De Ciencia Ficción En Costa Rica (1899-2024) Con Un Anexo De Las Obras Publicadas, Ivan Molina Jimenez
La Novelística De Ciencia Ficción En Costa Rica (1899-2024) Con Un Anexo De Las Obras Publicadas, Ivan Molina Jimenez
Alambique. Revista académica de ciencia ficción y fantasía / Jornal acadêmico de ficção científica e fantasía
La novelística de ciencia ficción en Costa Rica fue una producción esporádica, dominada por escritores extranjeros y sin participación femenina en el período 1899-1979. A partir de la década de 1980, este género literario empezó a crecer y a diversificarse, incorporó a algunas mujeres, se nacionalizó y se consolidó como una narrativa dirigida al público adulto que prioriza perspectivas distópicas y muestra un particular interés por la política. Dominada por personas de más de 30 años, con estudios universitarios y dedicadas a diversas ocupaciones profesionales, esta expansión ha dependido fuertemente de la autopublicación. Al no permitir vivir de los derechos …

For decades, epic fantasy has been predominantly associated with the Anglo-American tradition, exemplified by authors like J.R.R. Tolkien and Robert E. Howard. However, this perspective neglects the contributions of lesser-known but equally rich traditions, such as Spanish literature. Mariano Martín Rodríguez's Fantasía épica española (1842–1903) seeks to fill this historiographical gap by exploring the Spanish roots of epic fantasy through a theoretical analysis and an anthology of representative texts. This volume not only rescues forgotten works but also redefines critical paradigms to include non-Anglophone perspectives, offering a foundational resource for rethinking the global history of epic fantasy.

Abstract: Over the past few decades, Latin American science fiction has garnered growing academic interest in both Latin America and the United States. This increase in attention is driven not only by the proliferation of new publications in the region but also by the persistent archival, collecting, and cataloging efforts of scholars and collectors who work to uncover, preserve, and define the genre’s historical and cultural significance. Accessing these texts, which often circulate outside canonical literary and institutional frameworks, presents significant challenges. Specialized collections dedicated to Latin American science fiction reflect a response to these obstacles and attempt to bridge …

The Italian Colony Of São Paulo: Race, Class, And Cultural Capital In Brazil, Giulia Riccò
Race & Ethnic Studies
WINNER, 2024 ALDO AND JEANNE SCAGLIONE PUBLICATION AWARD FOR A MANUSCRIPT IN ITALIAN LITERARY STUDIES, MODERN LANGUAGES ASSOCIATION
Introduces a way to study migration that privileges literary analysis over and against sociological data and insists on the importance of culture in the production of political identities
This book argues that Italians first became racialized as white in São Paulo, Brazil, at the turn of the twentieth century. Whereas Italians in the United States struggled with xenophobia and were often not fully acknowledged as white, in São Paulo, due to a series of social, economic, and cultural factors, Italians became closely …
Interspecies Responsivity In Early Modern Drama And Animal Performances, Taylor C. Culbert
Interspecies Responsivity In Early Modern Drama And Animal Performances, Taylor C. Culbert
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
This dissertation proposes an expansive, interspecies definition of performance that uses behavior rather than cognition as the decisive feature and illustrates how such a definition can reshape our approach to theatre and performance history. Using the concept of responsivity, which refers to the embodied and affective ways that humans and non-human animals acknowledge and react to one another, I trace human–animal interactions across a variety of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century performance genres, from the aristocratic stag hunt and entertainments involving trained animals to the plays of Molière and Shakespeare. Drawing on my experience training animals, I offer a new perspective on …

Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
My doctoral dissertation examines novels published between the decades of 1870 and 1900 by women writers of Peru, Mexico, and Argentina, and analyzes the portrayals of money and economic behavior through their female characters. I investigate how some economic aspects of nineteenth-century capitalism are mobilized to challenge the figure of the angel of the house. By studying novels written by Carolina Freyre de Jaimes (1844-1916) and Mercedes Cabello de Carbonera (1845-1909) from Peru; Juana Manuela Gorriti (1818-1892) and Emma de la Barra (1861-1947) from Argentina; and Laura Méndez de Cuenca (1853-1928) and Refugio Barragán de Toscano (1843-1916) from Mexico, I …

Since William Labov outlined the methodology for the sociolinguistic interview in 1972, sociolinguistic corpora have been used widely in the field of sociolinguistics to study diverse speech communities and linguistic features. However, most of these invaluable sociolinguistic collections have been available only to the individual researcher or research group, and these data sets usually disappear from use with that individual scholar. More recently, there has been a push towards data sharing in sociolinguistics, reflective of data sharing and the open science movement in other fields. Still, accessible online sociolinguistic corpora are few and far between, in part due to the …
La Emboscada Postpoética De Agustín Fernández Mallo: Física, Cognición, Contemporaneidad, Entropía, Candelas Gala
La Emboscada Postpoética De Agustín Fernández Mallo: Física, Cognición, Contemporaneidad, Entropía, Candelas Gala
Purdue Studies in Romance Literatures
La emboscada postpoética de Agustín Fernández Mallo: física, cognición, contemporaneidad, entropía analyzes the poet’s proposal to rescue, with his Postpoetry, official poetry from its sclerotic stagnation due to its fidelity to worn-out premises, to recover a language connected with matter, and to renew its cognitive value. By means of byways (or drifting) through different disciplines, Postpoetry shares space with television, pop music, videos, the Internet, cinema, the arts, publicity, and the sciences, physics in particular. Postpoetry illuminates the intersection between the tranquility that tradition provides and the disquiet that comes with novelty. There is an ambush because, like Odysseus with …
“Vasallos De Su Magestad”: Colocaciones, Cortesía Y Contacto En Documentos Coloniales En Español Del Siglo 18 En Bolivia, Joaquin Tapia Guerra
“Vasallos De Su Magestad”: Colocaciones, Cortesía Y Contacto En Documentos Coloniales En Español Del Siglo 18 En Bolivia, Joaquin Tapia Guerra
LSU Master's Theses
The present study analyzes Spanish collocations and keywords used in politeness strategies found in colonial documents from the late 18th century in the provinces of Moxos and Chiquitos, in eastern Bolivia. The focus of attention is a portion of the archival material used where a denunciation translated from Movima to Spanish by interpreters and sent between Spanish officers on mission is found. Through the analysis of the corpus, sociopragmatic patterns were identified that could constitute evidence of the translinguistic contact and the situation of social asymmetry that presumably took place between Spanish officers and members of the Movima community. In …
"El Corregidor" At The Crossroads: Desire, Law, And Coloniality In Martel's Zama, Leisa Kauffmann
"El Corregidor" At The Crossroads: Desire, Law, And Coloniality In Martel's Zama, Leisa Kauffmann
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture
In "'El Corregidor at the Crossroads: Desire, Law and Coloniality in Martel's Zama" Leisa Kauffmann discusses Lucrecia Martel's filmic adaptation of Antonio DiBenedetto's 1952 novel, Zama. Highlighting the director's emphasis on the psychoanalytic (as opposed to the existentialist) dimensions of the novel, the essay follows the titular characater's unravelling and shows how Martel's film allegorizes colonial(ist) subjectivity. In Kauffmann's essay, various psychoanalytic theories (such as the work of Bhabha, Fanon, and Žižek), and critiques centering the notion of race in the Lacanian tradition are applied. In addition, differences between the novel and film, particularly regarding Zama's mutilation and …

The Call Of Cucurrucucú, Rachel Olivia Blair
Dissertations and Theses
This is a site of geologic excavation; where charged voices like porous monoliths and forked-tongue shapeshifters call out in fragmented polyphony. What lies broken or misshapen, what can be pieced back together.
What is purity when the body that is being inherited is drowning in murky waters.

The Extraction Unconscious: Solar-Powered Utopias In Catching The Sun (2015) And In The Name Of Lithium (2021), Isidora Cortés-Monroy
Critical Humanities
By comparing the depictions of future energy regimes in the two ecodocumentaries, Catching the Sun (2015) and In the Name of Lithium (2021), this article explores representations of post-carbon futures from the US and Argentina. Read closely alongside Frederic Jameson’s notions of utopias, the article delineates the extent to which a solar powered future challenges and reiterates current neocolonial extractivist structures. Basing myself on Patricia Yaeger’s concept of an “energy unconscious,” I argue that these solar utopias maintain an “extraction unconscious” that continues to produce sacrifice zones where primary commodities needed for the energy transition can be found. By analysing …
On The Edge Of The Abyss: Cultural Responses To Extractivism In The Andes, Jack Martinez Arias
On The Edge Of The Abyss: Cultural Responses To Extractivism In The Andes, Jack Martinez Arias
Critical Humanities
This work examines the contemporary cultural productions of Cerro de Pasco, a city in constant destruction due to an ever-expanding open pit mine that has grown to over a mile wide since the 1950s. Drawing on Latin American environmental humanities and discursive analysis, I conduct a close reading of poems, stories, performances, and audiovisual works by local artists responding to this largely overlooked apocalyptic scenario. By analyzing narrative strategies such as repetition and irony, I identify recurring themes and establish common concerns related to extractivism, urban extinction, illness, and death. This study seeks to understand how these cultural productions envision …

De Vente A Alemania, Pepe A ¿Te Has Venido A Alemania, Pepe?: Aspectos Económicos Y Culturales De La Emigración En Dos Generaciones Distintas, Daniel López Fernández
Homage to Alexander von Humboldt: Travels to and from Spain Throughout the Centuries / Homenaje a Alexander von Humboldt: Viajes hacia y desde España de todos los siglos
En Vente a Alemania, Pepe, el epónimo protagonista decide seguir el camino de muchos de sus compatriotas y abandonar temporalmente España con la intención de ganar más dinero en el extranjero, una esperanza que se ve pronto frustrada. Décadas más tarde, la crisis económica que comenzó en 2008 parece haber dado lugar a una repetición de este capítulo tragicómico de la historia española. No obstante, existen diferencias notables entre ambas generaciones. La migración actual atañe a una generación muy distinta de la que se marchó en los años sesenta y setenta. Se trata, en muchos casos, de inmigrantes con una …

Los Primeros Viajes Decisivos De Fernando Arrabal Entre España Y Francia, Viveca Tallgren
Homage to Alexander von Humboldt: Travels to and from Spain Throughout the Centuries / Homenaje a Alexander von Humboldt: Viajes hacia y desde España de todos los siglos
The first journeys of the writer and dramatist Fernando Arrabal between his home country Spain and France were decisive for both his life and his extensive literary production. Arrabal grew up in Franco’s Spain. His father was a Republican lieutenant and was sentenced to imprisonment for life because of his denying to participate in Franco’s rebellion against the democratic Republic. Arrabal’s mother was, however, a supporter of Franco. This political clash between Arrabal’s parents affected him strongly. During his adolescence it became difficult for him to endure the cultural climate in Franco’s Spain. At the age of 22 he hitchhiked …

La Representación Del Exilio En “Como Greenwich” De Mario Benedetti, María Elizabeth Nuño Plascencia
Homage to Alexander von Humboldt: Travels to and from Spain Throughout the Centuries / Homenaje a Alexander von Humboldt: Viajes hacia y desde España de todos los siglos
El proyecto estético del escritor Mario Benedetti se construyó en torno al exilio. El presente artículo analiza la representación del exilio en el cuento “Como Greenwich”, estableciendo un diálogo con postulados de Joseph Brodsky, Edward Said y María Zambrano. El relato de Benedetti explora la sensación de no pertenencia a una geografía específica, la dificultad de integrarse en una sociedad diferente y la alienación respecto a la identidad. La protagonista sufre la confusión ideológica derivada de conflictos políticos familiares, impactando en su visión del mundo y por los desafíos que conlleva el exilio. en sí mismo. Benedetti construye el relato …

Alexander Von Humboldt: Rescate Patrimonial Y Escritos Para Una Memoria De Justicia Social Latinoamericana, Gladys Ilarregui
Homage to Alexander von Humboldt: Travels to and from Spain Throughout the Centuries / Homenaje a Alexander von Humboldt: Viajes hacia y desde España de todos los siglos
Un códice, una estatuilla en piedra, un dibujo estelar en un papel plegado, el ocre y el rojo ladrillo decorando figuras extrañas. Un grupo familiar en una ceremonia, mujeres con glosas que salen de la boca, rostros con orejeras, el humo de los tiempos. Estas cosas agujereadas, maltratadas por la humedad y muchas veces rotas han soportado ya varios siglos, pero el coleccionismo europeo de la Ilustración las revisa, selecciona e interpreta. Desde la modernidad que Byung- Chul-Han describe como el momento de las “no-cosas”, cuando las cosas que estabilizaban la vida humana y le daban continuidad pierden su efecto …
Paisaje De Cataluña Y Valencia. Polimatía Y Epistemología En El Sello Epistolar De Alexander Von Humboldt En Concordancia Con Las Observaciones De Antonio José Cavanilles, Martha Garcia
Homage to Alexander von Humboldt: Travels to and from Spain Throughout the Centuries / Homenaje a Alexander von Humboldt: Viajes hacia y desde España de todos los siglos
Epistolary activity dates to Ancient Greece in affinity with the Roman tradition in which the missive was the most efficient means of communication at a distance. An erudite knowledge of the subject was required since the content would be recorded in posterity. Polymathy and epistemology were therefore required in daily practice of writing encyclicals from the society of Medieval era up to the pinnacle of the epistolary genre during Humanism. The letter, therefore, implied the fact that the writer was out from the territory of the point of departure and the recipient of the correspondence was distant. This exegesis focuses …

El Encuentro De Alexander Von Humboldt Y Enrique Gil En Berlín, Valentín Carrera
Homage to Alexander von Humboldt: Travels to and from Spain Throughout the Centuries / Homenaje a Alexander von Humboldt: Viajes hacia y desde España de todos los siglos
La celebración del X Congreso Internacional e Interdisciplinario Alexander Von Humboldt en la ciudad de León propició la mejor ocasión para hilvanar ante distinguidos colegas especialistas en la materia uno de los hilos más desconocidos de Humboldt: su relación con el poeta y diplomático Enrique Gil, Padre de las Letras Leonesas. Esta contribución hilvana, pues, sobre el telar del Romanticismo, los cabos sueltos del encuentro en Berlín de dos inteligencias deslumbrantes, dos personalidades de alto voltaje literario y humano, que compartían su homosexualidad y sus vínculos con logias masónicas. La relación, descrita como amistad íntima, se extendió desde septiembre de …

Homage to Alexander von Humboldt: Travels to and from Spain Throughout the Centuries / Homenaje a Alexander von Humboldt: Viajes hacia y desde España de todos los siglos
Benjamín Vicuña MacKenna y Alexander von Humboldt. El intenso deseo del joven chileno de 24 años, Benjamín Vicuña Mackenna (1831-1886), escritor, periodista, historiador, político y viajero, de encontrarse con el famoso científico prusiano Alexander von Humboldt en Berlín en 1855, lo lleva a describir con singular detalle este encuentro breve y cruzado. La superioridad del científico europeo es expresada en un tono de sólida admiración. Admiración que no era mutua, porque von Humboldt no podía admirar a quien aún no había ni estudiado ni escrito, y el científico prusiano ya había viajado y realizado su tarea en el Continente Americano. …
*Inclusive Language Reform In Catalonia And Valencia (*Some Exclusions May Apply), Farah Ali
*Inclusive Language Reform In Catalonia And Valencia (*Some Exclusions May Apply), Farah Ali
Global Language Studies Faculty publications
Romance languages have traditionally represented gender through binary markers (Papadopoulos, 2019; Rainer, 2020). More recently, they are shifting toward inclusive innovations, with some degree of popular support (Slemp, 2021), as well as resistance (Kosnick, 2021; Niklison, 2020). Following the recent linguistic innovation to move beyond binary markers in Spain, gender-inclusive discourse usually focuses on the Spanish language, with little research available on other languages in the country, such as Aranese, Basque, Catalan, Galician, and Valencian. This study examines Catalan and Valencian, spoken primarily in Catalonia and Valencia, respectively. Using twelve institutional documents published between 2005-2021, this analysis examines how public …
Between Word And World: Textual Space In Modern Sephardic Literature, Inci Cetin
Between Word And World: Textual Space In Modern Sephardic Literature, Inci Cetin
Comparative Literature M.A. Essays
In the context of modern Sephardic literature, this paper defines “textual space” as the narrative’s self-conscious arrangement of its own textual elements such as time, space, and language to negotiate a position vis-à-vis the nation-state that is neither fully subsumed within nor completely outside of it. Textual spaces neither conform to the nation state’s borders even though they write from it, nor to nationalist temporalities as they continue a narrative thread that reaches back to 15th-century Spain. Through Myriam Moscona’s Tela de sevoya (2012) and Mario Levi’s Istanbul Was a Fairytale (1999), this paper investigates how textual spaces are deliberately …
Acquisition Of The Tap-Trill-Lateral Contrast By Speakers Of L1 Cantonese-L2 Spanish, José Esteban Hernández
Acquisition Of The Tap-Trill-Lateral Contrast By Speakers Of L1 Cantonese-L2 Spanish, José Esteban Hernández
Spanish Faculty Publications
In the present study an assessment of the on-target and off-target production of liquids (laterals and rhotics) is undertaken in a corpus of second language (L2) Spanish. The Chinese-origin participants have immigrated to Mexicali, Mexico where they have acquired L2 Spanish in a natural setting. As a major aim, a quantitative analysis of the data is performed to determine the production of on-target and off-target articulations in lateral, tap, thrill, and syllable-coda rhotic. Internal and external factors are considered in the analysis; for example, liquid production in syllable onset, coda and consonant clusters was considered. The data were subjected to …
Imágenes De Silencio, Compromiso, Persecución Y Tortura: La Teología De La Liberación Y Su Encrucijada Con Las Dictaduras Del Cono Sur Desde Una Representación Cinematográfica, Marcial Martínez
Spanish and Portuguese ETDs
This dissertation examines the interaction between liberation theology and the
dictatorships of the Southern Cone from the 1960s to the 1980s through cinematic
representation. Filmmakers from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay
depict the political upheavals of the time, including the rise of leftist movements,
military regimes, and the influence of liberation theology, a progressive religious
ideology advocating for the oppressed. The study focuses on what is defined here
as the "cinematic canon of liberation theology," a body of films and documentaries
that legitimize, contest, or obscure ideologies tied to this movement vis-à-vis the
dictatorships. These films contest the silence …
Voices In The Borderlands: Reimagining Identity, Cultural Belonging, And Dystopian Spaces In Anzaldúa’S Borderlands And Viramontes’S “The Cariboo Café”, Oralia G. Ramos
Voices In The Borderlands: Reimagining Identity, Cultural Belonging, And Dystopian Spaces In Anzaldúa’S Borderlands And Viramontes’S “The Cariboo Café”, Oralia G. Ramos
Theses and Dissertations
This thesis explores how Gloria Anzaldúa’s Borderlands/La Frontera (1987) and Helena María Viramontes’ short story “The Cariboo Café” (1985) portray marginalized individuals navigating liminal spaces of identity, oppression, and survival. Borderlands/La Frontera and “The Cariboo Café” show how systematic violence and displacement shatter the self, pushing characters to navigate trauma in a dystopian space. Sonya, Macky, the café owner, and the grieving mother represent Anzaldúa’s concepts of borderland subjectivity, betrayal, and spectral haunting.
Sonya and Macky, two undocumented children, represent Anzaldúa’s borderlands subjects and reside in a state of nepantla, an in-between space of cultural dislocation. The café owner …
Trans-Pacific Connections: Chinese Porcelain And Aztec Motifs In Colonial Mexico, Natalia Ramirez
Trans-Pacific Connections: Chinese Porcelain And Aztec Motifs In Colonial Mexico, Natalia Ramirez
Departmental Honors & Graduate Capstone Projects
This research explores artworks within the Global Baroque as visual and ideological evidence through which colonial power, trade, and cross-cultural influence shaped the material culture of the early modern world. Centering on blue and white ceramics as a key medium of transcultural and trans-local exchange, the study analyzes how global motifs, particularly those drawn from Aztec and Chinese traditions, were reinterpreted, aestheticized, and circulated in Aztec and Novohispanic artistic practices.
Through a close observational comparison of Aztec and Chinese decorative systems, the study recognizes contrasting systems of cultural documentation embedded within similar visual forms. Aztec motifs, rooted in ritual, calendrical, …
