Videncia Y Evidencia En La Literatura Española Contemporánea. El Pensamiento De La Fotografía Según Isabel Cadenas Cañón Y Miguel Ángel Hernández., Johan V. Orellana
Videncia Y Evidencia En La Literatura Española Contemporánea. El Pensamiento De La Fotografía Según Isabel Cadenas Cañón Y Miguel Ángel Hernández., Johan V. Orellana
Senior Projects Spring 2021
In this work, Orellana analyses the usage of photography and its effects within Spanish contemporary works of literature such as the novel El instante de peligro by Miguel Ángel Hernández and También eso era el verano by Isabel Cadenas Cañón. He infers that the photography used in literature has taken the medium to the point of creating its own literary costumes that lie, particularly, in the novelistic and autobiographical poetry fields with an emphasis on rethinking the family album and epistolary narrative.
Dissident Poetry In Post-Crisis Spain: A Challenge To Fluidity, Olga Bezhanova
Dissident Poetry In Post-Crisis Spain: A Challenge To Fluidity, Olga Bezhanova
Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature
The global economic crisis of 2008-9 had an especially severe impact on Spain and resulted in the publication of many works of literature that address the effects and the causes of the crisis. Daniel Macías Díaz and Antonio Rómar, two contemporary Spanish poets, belong to different artistic generations, yet their response to the devastation caused by the economic collapse centers on a rejection of the neoliberal worldview that inspired the creation of the current economic system. The poets question the rhetoric of fluidity and mobility that accompanies the implantation of the neoliberal world order and call for the creation of …

This dissertation explores the autobiographical literature and cinema produced in the context of a Spain in Crisis (between 2008 and 2019), using recent theories on affect (Brian Massumi, Sarah Ahmed ...) and vulnerability (Judith Butler, Adriana Cavarero…). Through comprehensive close reading, it examines three novels (Clavícula by Marta Sanz, Ordesaby Manuel Vilas and El amor del revés by Luisgé Martín) and three films (Mapa by Elías León Siminiani, True Love by Ion de Sosa, both representative of the Other Spanish Cinema, and Dolor y gloria by Pedro Almodóvar) in order to identify the “inclinations of the …

Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics - All Scholarship

Special Focus Introduction. Set Up And Shut Out: Immigration And Criminality In Contemporary Spanish Fiction, Diana Aramburu, Jeffrey K. Coleman
Special Focus Introduction. Set Up And Shut Out: Immigration And Criminality In Contemporary Spanish Fiction, Diana Aramburu, Jeffrey K. Coleman
Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature
The beginning of the twenty-first century has seen mass immigration from the Global South to the Global North. Unfortunately, the geopolitical and racial dynamics of this migration flow often lead to a purported nexus between immigration and criminality. In immigrant-receiving nations, this is especially the case, where sometimes the government, the media, and even the population support a xenophobic perspective based on the interconnection between immigration and criminality. Spain serves as an interesting case study for understanding how cultural productions reflect and/or critique that tendency because between 2000 and 2010 it had the world's second largest net immigration rate. The …

El Teatro Antimodernista Español: Máter Dolorosa (1904) De Leopoldo Cano Y El Tenorio Modernista (1906) De Pablo Parellada, Enrique Torner
World Languages & Cultures Department Publications
This article analyzes and compares two plays that have received little attention by scholars: Máter dolorosa (1904), by Leopoldo Cano, and El Tenorio modernista (1906,) by Pablo Parellada. These plays are a parody of the modernist style that dominated Spanish and Spanish American literature from 1888 -when it was started by the publication of Azul, a compilation of poems and stories written by Rubén Darío- to 1920 or so. This study shows how each author ridiculed and satirized modernism, the way in which their plays are a model of a parody, how they achieve a unique sense of humor, and …
Women On Top: Power And Transgression In The Libro Del Conde Partinuplés, Martha Daas
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 …

The novels are Amado amo by Rosa Montero, Los aires difíciles by Almudena Grandes and La conquista del aire by Belén Gopegui. The question this dissertation asks is if by introducing male characters that lack power, control and success the works promote practices of feminist resistance. The answer is that they do but, as …

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

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 …
Sacrificio, Violencia Y Nación En Lituma En Los Andes De Mario Vargas Llosa, Cesar Valverde
Sacrificio, Violencia Y Nación En Lituma En Los Andes De Mario Vargas Llosa, Cesar Valverde
Cesar Valverde
This paper addresses gender, nation and sacrifice as central elements in Lituma en los Andes (1993), a novel published by Mario Vargas Llosa after he ran unsuccessfully for the Peruvian presidency. The book presents a number of masculine models that are either inadequate, romanticized or brutal and sets them against a backdrop of a Peru deep in the economic and physical violence of war against the Maoist guerrillas of Sendero Luminoso, a Peru forced to live in a “superstitious and obscurantist cultural fog” because of its indigenous past. My study shows how the narrow worldview of the protagonist is challenged …

Cautiverio Y Convivencia En La Edad De Cervantes, Natalio Ohanna
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
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
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.
