Women On Top: Power And Transgression In The Libro Del Conde Partinuplés, Martha Daas

World Languages and Cultures Faculty Publications

English

In the romance tradition, women are relegated to “ideal love” or distracting presence, either Virgin (Christian presence) or Witch/Whore (pagan presence). The women in the Spanish Conde Partinuplés, however, transgress their typical roles. Throughout the tale, Partinuplés is aided by a succession of women who do not follow the rules of Romance. Through the transgression of gender and racial norms, the female-dominated spaces become spaces of transformative power. In direct opposition are the male-dominated Christian-identified spaces of the Church and Court. During the romance these spaces hold only treachery and falsehood for the young Count. The ambiguity of the …

Comunicación No Verbal: La Banda Sonora De Arroz Y Tartana, Linda M. Willem

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

Arroz y tartana, escrita en 1894, ejemplifica las consecuencias graves de abandonar los valores burgueses de trabajo y economía para guardar apariencias con excesos de gasto y consumo. El director José Antonio Escrivá llevó la obra a la pantalla en el año 2003, y Enric Murillo compuso la música original. Los temas, coordinados con las imágenes y el diálogo, constituyen un lenguaje no verbal para comunicarle información al espectador. Funcionando en conjunto dentro del sistema de leitmotifs, los temas establecen una red de asociaciones que informa y expresa la filosofía moral de la narración.

An Interlinguistic Theory Of Jazz, Barthes And 20th Century Spanish Literature, Jeff Gabbitas, Dr. Dale Pratt

Journal of Undergraduate Research

Through this grant I have been given the opportunity to explore a common thread that ties jazz and 20th century Spanish literature together. I put a large amount of time and thought into this interlinguistic theory by studying different Spanish literary works and comparing the content and processes to some of the jazz pieces I performed while participating in the vocal jazz ensemble at Brigham Young University, and by studying other jazz works.

Género, Nación Y Literatura: Emilia Pardo Bazán En La Literatura Gallega Y Española, Carmen Pereira-Muro

Purdue Studies in Romance Literatures

Lugar de Emilia Pardo Bazán en la literatura española y gallega se ha ganado duro, y ella todavía no ha recibido el reconocimiento que se merece. En Género, nación y literatura: Emilia Pardo Bazán en la literatura gallega y Española, Carmen Pereira-Muro estudia la obra y personalidad de este fascinante autor en el contexto de los nacionalismos que compiten español y gallego. Ella vuelve a leer las historias literarias y cánones nacionales de España y Galicia como narrativas patriarcales que luchan para asimilar o silenciar proyecto nacional alternativo de Pardo Bazán.

Pereira-Muro sostiene que Pardo Bazán postuló la inclusión …

Aplicación De La Teoría De La Imagen A Pinturas Surrealistas Españolas Durante La Guerra Civil Española, Jordan Kirkegaard

Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection

El autor W.J.H.B. Sandberg mencionó que: "Great artists by sorne hidden direction assemble where life is most intense, where a new world is about to be born. They come together to shape a new world." Entre 1936 y 1939, las circunstancias de la vida intensa, difícil, y trágica eran frecuentes en España. Antes de 1936, España había experimentado diferentes sistemas gubernamentales y líderes políticos, de la Primera República, para el restablecimiento de Alfonso XII como rey, a la Segunda República, que comenzó en 1931. Esta Segunda República fue un gobierno más liberal que la monarquía anterior, y los gobernantes establecieron …

Cautiverio Y Convivencia En La Edad De Cervantes, Natalio Ohanna

All Books and Monographs by WMU Authors

Cautiverio y convivencia en la edad de Cervantes [Captivity and Coexistence in the Age of Cervantes] explores Spanish narratives of coexistence in Muslim and Native American lands, through the lens of captivity in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Far from engaging with the violence or trauma of confinement, the author studies the cognitive experience that results from abrupt immersion in a foreign culture, which leads to a revision of homogeneous and stereotypical perceptions of cultural, religious and ethnic differences, and ultimately undermines the perception of one’s own society as a stable world. In the Early Modern use of captivity narratives …

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 Celestina O La Normatividad Fallida, Irune Del Rio Gabiola

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

El mundo caótico establecido a través de las relaciones personales entre los personajes de La Celestina revela la debilidad de un sistema normativo tradicional que finalmente triunfa gracias a la tragedia —al drama derivado de la trasgresión del sistema bajo el cual los diversos personajes se construyen más bien por impulsos placenteros e instintos que por la moral y la ética ordenada. En este sentido podemos estudiar la obra como un «exemplum»; «Sin duda, el honor, el deber, la fama, el puesto social, etcétera, son principios vigentes para la sociedad española de fines del xv. (...) Pero, puesto que se …

De Ausencias, Recuerdos Y Redescubrimiento: El Teatro De Agustín Gómez-Arcos, Sharon G. Feldman

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications

“El caso de este escritor español es en gran medida irreparable". Esta sombría afirmación, escrita por el eminente crítico de teatro español Moisés Peréz Coterillo, figuraba en su introducción a la edición de 1991 de la farsa en un acto Interview de Mrs. Muerta Smith por sus fantasmas de Agustín Gómez-Arcos. En efecto, el caso de Gómez-Arcos (Almería, 1933 - París, 1998) representa una paradoja extraordinaria para los observadores del flujo y reflujo de la historia literaria europea. En Francia, donde vivió un exilio voluntario desde 1968, llegó a ser una figura prominente como escritor prolífico y premiado. Fue autor …

El Espacio Fantástico En Tres Cuentos De Emilia Pardo Bazán O La Reafirmación De La Sociedad Patriarcal, Beatriz Trigo

Spanish Faculty Publications

En la prosa de Emilia Pardo Bazán se puede observar una clara dicotomía en relación con el papel de la mujer en la sociedad española del siglo XIX. Por un lado, los ensayos, cartas y diversas colaboraciones con la prensa denotan una escritora abiertamente feminista, preocupada por las distintas facetas del momento" histórico en el cual escribe —ya sean estas literarias o sociales— y en especial con los límites impuestos por la sociedad a la mujer. Por el otro, en sus cuentos y novelas, la abierta denuncia de la situación en la que se encuentra la mujer se convierte en …

[Introduction To] Alegorías De La Disidencia: El Teatro De Agustín Gómez-Arcos, Sharon G. Feldman

Bookshelf

This book is a case study of the relationship between art and oppression. It is the first book devoted to Gomez-Arcos, a member of a "lost" generation of Spanish dramatists who were silenced during the Franco era. It addresses three crucial issues that define both his literature and his life: censorship, exile, and bilingualism.

Sanctifying The Scatological And Debasing The Divine: Postmordernist Allegory And Gómez-Arcos's Interview De Mrs. Muerta Smith Por Sus Fantasmas, Sharon G. Feldman

Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications

In February 1991, when Agustin Gómez-Arcos's Interview de Mrs. Muerta Smith por sus fantasmas premiered at Madrid's Sala Olimpia, the voice of one of Europe's most distinguished living writers triumphantly returned to the Spanish stage after an absence that had endured nearly twenty-six years. Born in Almería at the outset of the Spanish Civil War, Gómez-Arcos began his career in Madrid as an award-winning playwright. Eventually his ongoing struggle against Francoist censorship prompted his voluntary exile from Spain in 1966, and following a two-year sojourn in London, he arrived in Paris amid the clamor of 1968. Since that time he …
