Hermandad Femenina En El Exilio: Escritura Terapéutica En Cartas Inéditas De Zenobia Camprubí / Women’S Sorority In Exile: Therapeutic Writing In Zenobia Camprubí’S Unpublished Letters, Iker González-Allende
Spanish Language and Literature Papers
Este artículo analiza las cartas inéditas que desde 1938 hasta 1954 Zenobia Camprubí le envió desde Estados Unidos, Cuba y Puerto Rico a la intelectual Pilar de Zubiaurre en México. El principal argumento es que, a diferencia de lo apuntado por numerosos críticos, Camprubí experimentó un exilio doloroso y nostálgico y utilizó su correspondencia epistolar para contrarrestarlo. Las cartas realizaron tres funciones principales para Camprubí: informativa, auxiliadora y terapéutica. Así, Camprubí y Zubiaurre se comunicaban las vicisitudes de sus numerosos amigos mutuos y las noticias que recibían de España. Además, las cartas le sirvieron a Camprubí para ofrecer ayuda, por …
Entailments, Pragmatic Assertion And Mood In Spanish Complements, Errapel Mejías-Bikandi
Entailments, Pragmatic Assertion And Mood In Spanish Complements, Errapel Mejías-Bikandi
Spanish Language and Literature Papers
This paper examines a frequently overlooked class of expressions in Spanish that license the subjunctive mood in a complement clause. This class contains expressions such as poco/a/s “few”, menos de “less than” and solo “only”. The goal of the paper is to offer an account of the use of mood with these expressions that incorporates the data under discussion into previous pragmatic accounts of mood based on notions of assertion and informative value. The paper first offers a semantic characterization of this class of expressions that is based on their monotonic properties (Ladusaw 1980, Ladusaw 1983). Next, it explores the …

'…Para Venir A Poseerlo Todo…' Ávila-Duruelo-Toledo, Elizabeth Wilhelmsen
Spanish Language and Literature Papers
En el recuento de las vicisitudes de la Regia del Carmen, Honorio III aprueba la de san Alberto en 1226. Posteriormente se modifica para Occidente, adquiriendo conformidad con las incipientes órdenes mendicantes. En 1247 ratifica la revisión Inocencio IV. Casi dos siglos más tarde, en 1432, Eugenio IV otorga bula de mitigación. Al tiempo de Teresa de Ahumada, el Monasterio de la Encarnación de Ávila se regía por formulaciones relajadas de la regla.

Introducción: José Ángel Ascunce Arrieta Y La Pluralidad Del Exilio Vasco, Iker González-Allende
Spanish Language and Literature Papers
Cuando se habla del exilio vasco, resulta indispensable mencionar el nombre de José Ángel Ascunce Arrieta. Además de sus estudios sobre Cervantes y el Siglo de Oro, el otro principal campo de su larga y prolífica trayectoria como investigador han sido las culturas española y vasca del siglo xx, especialmente las que se desarrollan a partir de la Guerra Civil Española (1936-1939), tanto en territorio español como en el exilio. Sus estudios se han enfocado mayormente en autores vascos que escriben en castellano. Sus más de treinta libros entre monografías, obras completas, antologías, ediciones de obras y volúmenes coordinados, junto …
Neutering Neoliberalism: Masculinities And Gore Capitalism In Rubem Fonseca’S Crime Novels, David William Hancock
Neutering Neoliberalism: Masculinities And Gore Capitalism In Rubem Fonseca’S Crime Novels, David William Hancock
Theses and Dissertations
This study presents close readings of Rubem Fonseca’s Agosto (1990), A grande arte (1983), Bufo & Spallanzani (1985), and O seminarista (2009), to suggest they condemn Neoliberalism’s role in creating a global culture of violence, as they problematize its rhetoric of domination and uncover its heteropatriarchal, consumerist ideology, disguised as fact or ‘common-sense.’ The four chapters are divided according to the different theoretical concepts that accompany the four principal texts’ common critique of Neoliberal masculinity, as it functions to uphold the interdependent hierarchies of race, class and gender. Fonseca’s texts also imply the reader's’ complicity in a global culture of …

Actitud De Los Ciudadanos Andaluces En Cuanto Al Empleo Del Dialecto Andaluz En Los Medios De Comunicación Audiovisuales, Victoriano Pimentel Rivas
Actitud De Los Ciudadanos Andaluces En Cuanto Al Empleo Del Dialecto Andaluz En Los Medios De Comunicación Audiovisuales, Victoriano Pimentel Rivas
All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects
This study presents regulations and linguistic awareness respecting the use of Andalusian dialect on television, radio, and cinema among others to provide a full description of the subject. The qualitative method will reveal aspects more fine-grained through data collection of the different habits and reactions of participants with TV, radio, internet or another audiovisual platform. For example, this research concludes, among other factors, that young Andalusians are more in contact with their dialect than older ones. Empirical and statistical data reflects that the young individual is open to different audiovisual platforms apart from TV and radio. Finally, this thesis leads …

Reseña: La Idea De Progreso Como Lastre En Las Filosofías De La Historia Por Juan Robert Muro Abad., Miguel A. Albújar Escuredo
Reseña: La Idea De Progreso Como Lastre En Las Filosofías De La Historia Por Juan Robert Muro Abad., Miguel A. Albújar Escuredo
Department of Modern Languages and Literatures: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
La idea de “progreso” gira en torno a dos conceptos claves: “una dirección general, un concurso global por el que la humanidad se encamina hacia una determinada meta, y una valoración simpática, un juicio positivo hacia esa meta propuesta”. La idea de progreso puede asociarse con la fe, establecida mediante significantes tales como “Destino” o “Providencia”, o bien entenderse como un proceso por alcanzar el “poder”. Otra idea que Muro recoge en su artículo retrae ideas de Le Goff: “—en lo que coincide con Maravall— al establecer un doble paralelismo entre progreso y evolución o continuidad, frente a revolución y …

Department of Modern Languages and Literatures: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Bielinsky narra una historia amparada en dos esferas contrapuestas: el mundo mental y el entorno físico de Esteban. En el primero tal que una consagración platónica al ideal del pensamiento humano, todos los planes encajan, tienen su sentido y tempo correcto, llegando a una resolución armónica, sensata y racional; el segundo mundo es caótico, responde a las coordenadas ajenas de un entorno que Esteban no puede controlar.
Reseña: La Ciudad Sin Límites De Antonio Hernández, Miguel A. Albújar Escuredo
Reseña: La Ciudad Sin Límites De Antonio Hernández, Miguel A. Albújar Escuredo
Department of Modern Languages and Literatures: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
La película ofrece el retrato de una familia de clase alta disfuncional. Sin embargo, lo que en un principio se anticipaba como melodrama familiar con tintes cómicos, cambia sutilmente en una exploración dramática sobre el amor, la culpa y el rencor. Este triple ejercicio se fundamenta en una nefasta herencia tardo-franquista que hasta el final parece estar latente por invisible, pero que por último se revela esencial para entender la psique torturada del padre. El personaje de Leonardo Sbaraglia es el conductor a través de un entramado de mentiras presentes y pasadas, que permiten cubrir la fealdad de una familia …

El Efecto De La Variación Dialectal En El Procesamiento, Kirsten Schanze
El Efecto De La Variación Dialectal En El Procesamiento, Kirsten Schanze
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Lexical variation, or the existence of multiple lexemes that can be used to denote a particular concept, is a phenomenon characteristic of most of the world’s language systems. Often times the source of this variation is difficult to determine, with a variety of inter- and intra-linguistic factors at play. This thesis was conducted with three main goals: 1) to delineate lexical items typical to specific dialects of Spanish and generate country-specific word lists that focus on salient contrasts between the different varieties of the language; 2) to determine whether speakers of particular varieties of Spanish, namely Puerto Rican and Venezuelan …
Indigenista Heroes And Femmes Fatales: Myth-Making In Latin American Literature And Film, Megan O'Neil
Indigenista Heroes And Femmes Fatales: Myth-Making In Latin American Literature And Film, Megan O'Neil
Theses and Dissertations--Hispanic Studies
This dissertation explores myth-making in Latin America by focusing specifically upon four Amerindian and mestizo figures: Doña Bárbara, mestiza protagonist of Rómulo Gallegos’ 1929 novel; Anacaona and Hatuey, Taíno caciques who first appeared in Bartolomé de las Casas’ Brevísima relación de la destrucción de las Indias (1552); and Andrés Chiliquinga, indigenous protagonist of Jorge Icaza’s Huasipungo (1934). The present analysis examines the evolution of these myths from their original appearance to literary and film versions throughout the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries in the Caribbean and Andean regions. The project focuses upon the ways in which artists have interpreted these …
The Burden Of The Past: Spectral History In The Works Of Carlos Fuentes, 1962-80, Lee Elizabeth Kirven
The Burden Of The Past: Spectral History In The Works Of Carlos Fuentes, 1962-80, Lee Elizabeth Kirven
Theses and Dissertations--Hispanic Studies
The works of Carlos Fuentes are well known for their thematics of History, how the past continues to influence the present despite mechanisms of historical omission, oblivion, or repression. This dissertation offers a spectral reading of a selection of Fuentes’ works—La muerte de Artemio Cruz (1962), Aura (1962), Cambio de piel (1967), Terra nostra (1975), and Una familia lejana (1980)—that represents his vision of Mexican, Latin American, and Transatlantic history. A spectral reading refers to the hidden or indirect ways that the past continues to manifest in the present as specters, ghosts—unconscious and unwitting remembrances of repressed or unknown …
¿Pero Tú Qué Te Has Creído, Que La Guerra Es Una Broma? La Seriedad Del Humor En Diferentes Representaciones Culturales De La Guerra Civil Española, Maria Jesus Lopez Soriano
¿Pero Tú Qué Te Has Creído, Que La Guerra Es Una Broma? La Seriedad Del Humor En Diferentes Representaciones Culturales De La Guerra Civil Española, Maria Jesus Lopez Soriano
Theses and Dissertations--Hispanic Studies
This dissertation analyzes selected pieces of work related to the Spanish Civil War (1936-39) produced during the twenty-first-century as cultural artifacts to be considered in their historical and socio-political context. Specifically, my dissertation focuses on the relationship between the way the conflict is depicted and the message it conveys. Parting from the premise that there has been an overproduction of lieu de mémoire that has transformed the Spanish war into a cultural trend, the civil war-esque, I study a number of humor works. Precisely, these humorous works deconstruct such trend by considering its most common characteristics: the use of metafiction …
Blancura Situacional E Imperio Español En Su Historia, Cine Y Literatura (S.Xix-Xx), Jose Maria Perez Sanchez
Blancura Situacional E Imperio Español En Su Historia, Cine Y Literatura (S.Xix-Xx), Jose Maria Perez Sanchez
Theses and Dissertations--Hispanic Studies
This dissertation studies identity formation and race informed by the discipline Whiteness Studies. As such this dissertation conceptualizes Spanish Whiteness historically and analyzes its representation in Spanish narrative in prose and film. This research responds to two questions: 1) How has Spanish culture historically instrumentalized Blackness thus contributing to the creation of the Western’s conceptualization of Whiteness? 2) What does Spanish representation of Empire say about its Whiteness? In an effort to answer these questions, this study is divided into two parts that correspond to the conceptualization and representation of what are termed ‘Situational Whiteness’ and ‘Imperial Spanish Orientalism.’ I …
"A Bastard Jargon”: Language Politics And Identity In The Brief Wondrous Life Of Oscar Wao, Rachel Norman
"A Bastard Jargon”: Language Politics And Identity In The Brief Wondrous Life Of Oscar Wao, Rachel Norman
Faculty Publications
This essay explores Junot Díaz's only full-length novel, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, through the theoretical lens of sociolinguistics and examines the ways in which Díaz has attempted to overcome the publishing industry's complicity in maintaining the nation's ethnocentric expectations in regards to English as the only acceptable language of publication. By introducing the work of several sociolinguists into the discussion, examining the use of African American Vernacular and “nerdish” alongside the Spanish, and reviewing Díaz’s relationship with his editors, I provide a more nuanced reading of the ubiquitous code-switching throughout Oscar Wao and suggest that beyond …

El Silencio Pertenece Al Sonido, Carlota Frisón Fernández
Teatro: Revista de Estudios Escénicos / A Journal of Theater Studies
Este ensayo plantea que el silencio está presente en la imagen cinematográfica a través del sonido. Aquí se presenta un rastreo de cómo el sonido se ha maridado a la imagen cinematográfica y cómo se ha convertido en objeto de estudio de pleno derecho. Dilucidar la senda del sonido en cine contribuye a una primera aproximación de cómo el silencio se construye en imagen movimiento.

Cuernos O Matrimonios De Conveniencia O Cuando La Tragedia Es Risible, Rakhel Villamil-Acera
Cuernos O Matrimonios De Conveniencia O Cuando La Tragedia Es Risible, Rakhel Villamil-Acera
Teatro: Revista de Estudios Escénicos / A Journal of Theater Studies
En este artículo se analizan los posos trágicos presentes en el teatro cómico desde el estreno de La verbena de la Paloma en 1894 hasta el de Una noche de primavera sin sueño en 1927. Debido al éxito de los géneros cómicos durante una treintena histórica trágica llama la atención que fuera “lo cómico” y no “lo trágico” lo que arrastrara masivamente al público al teatro. Sin embargo, no faltan voces que destacan los posos de miseria y tragedia en sainetes, astracanes, esperpentos o tragedias grotescas. ¿Qué tiene de trágico el teatro cómico de estos años?

La Identidad Ecuatoriana A Través Del Humor De Miguel Antonio Chávez, Luis Enrique Yanez
All Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Other Capstone Projects
This thesis project provides a close reading of the literary work of Ecuadorian author Miguel Antonio Chávez. The analysis in this work discuses how the author use humor to criticize the discourses that have been produced in order to represent indigenous and Afro-descendants in the country, as well as the fragility of social and political institutions such as the church, the state, and the country's educational system in the pieces La puta madre patria, La kriptonita del Sinaí, and El electroshock nuestro de cada día. This thesis analyses humor as a narrative tool with its function to reproduce and criticize …
The Case For Using Duolingo As Part Of The Language Classroom Experience (Duolingo Como Parte Del Curriculum De Las Clases De Lengua Extranjera), Pilar Munday
Languages Faculty Publications
This article explores the idea of using an already existing language learning app, Duolingo, to complement traditional college level Spanish as second language courses. These types of apps use adaptive learning technologies, which are able to tailor the tasks to the level of each student. In the case of this study, Duolingo was used as part of the program of studies in two Spanish university courses, one a beginner’s Spanish course (level A1) and the other an advanced intermediate course (B2). The students used the app online, either in its mobile version or in their web browser. I will describe …
Revolution, Redemption, And Romance: Reading Constructions Of Filipino Spanish American Identities And Politics Of Knowledge In Rizal’S Noli Me Tangere And El Filibusterismo Alongside Filipino American Fiction, Steven Beardsley
Departmental Honors Projects
This project analyzes the literary works and the iconic role of Filipino nationalist José Rizal before, during, and after the Spanish American War of 1898. Rizal’s social activism and writing inspired a revolution against the Friarocracy in the Philippines. He also influenced Filipino American writers who reference Rizal’s construction of the Filipino woman in Christianity and Filipinos fighting against colonial oppression. Additionally, Filipino American writers illustrate how being Filipino in the US today is a transcultural experience rather than a simple binary of traditional Philippines and modern America. Recognizing Spain as an earlier colonizing force is critical in understanding the …
