“La Culpa Es De Los Tlaxcaltecas”: Gender, The Burden Of Blame, And A Re-Examination Of The Myth Of La Malinche, Erin M. Lanza
“La Culpa Es De Los Tlaxcaltecas”: Gender, The Burden Of Blame, And A Re-Examination Of The Myth Of La Malinche, Erin M. Lanza
Student Publications
This paper explores Elena Garro’s short story “La culpa es de los tlaxcaltecas.” Supplementing close readings with analyses drawn from relevant authors and theorists, I highlight the key ideas regarding gender, identity, memory, and history that Garro weaves into her text, and I consider Garro’s emphasis on patriarchal control, the internalization of female culpability for the Spanish Conquest of Mexico, and women’s role in constructing and reconstructing historical discourses. By travelling into her own and Mexico’s past, Laura Aldama, one of the main female protagonists in the story, not only challenges gendered histories but also reveals how patriarchal thought continues …
La Teología Poética De Los Real Visceralistas, Angela G. Pegarella
La Teología Poética De Los Real Visceralistas, Angela G. Pegarella
Student Publications
Voy a analizar el rol que juegan la poesía y la religión en la novela Los detectives salvajes. Mi pregunta se trata de una conversación que tuvimos en clase cuando estábamos leyendo el texto. ¿Hay un tema de religión en la novela Los detectives salvajes por Roberto Bolaño aún si es sutil? Yo creo fuertemente que sí. Durante toda la novela, noté una alegoría cristiana que se manifiesta en los personajes principales (Cesárea Tinajero, Ulises Lima, y Arturo Belano en particular), la estructura (las dos partes de la Biblia y las tres partes de la novela), y la semejanza del …
The Patriarchy’S Role In Gender Inequality In The Caribbean, Erin C. O'Connor
The Patriarchy’S Role In Gender Inequality In The Caribbean, Erin C. O'Connor
Student Publications
While gender equality in the Caribbean is improving, with women’s growing social, economic, and political participation, literacy rates comparable to those in Europe, and greater female participation in higher education, deeply rooted inequalities are still present and are demonstrated in the types of jobs women are in and the limited number of women in decision-making positions. Sexism, racism, and classism are systemic inequalities being perpetuated in schools, through the types of education offered for individuals and the content in textbooks. Ironically, the patriarchy is coexisting within a system of matrifocal and matrilocal families, with a long tradition of female economic …

“To Say Nothing”: Variations On The Theme Of Silence In Selected Works By Sor Juana Inés De La Cruz, Sandra Cisneros, And María Luisa Bombal, Hannah M. Frantz
“To Say Nothing”: Variations On The Theme Of Silence In Selected Works By Sor Juana Inés De La Cruz, Sandra Cisneros, And María Luisa Bombal, Hannah M. Frantz
Student Publications
This paper explores the various ways in which Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz’s La Respuesta, Sandra Cisneros’s “Woman Hollering Creek,” and María Luisa Bombal’s “The Tree” address the theme of silence. It interrogates how the female characters in each of these works are silenced as well as their responses to that oppression. Meaning is subjective, so writing is a safe outlet for the oppressed. These works each identify an oppressor, either a husband or the male dominated church, as well as an oppressed individual, who is the female lead. In La Respuesta, the Catholic church, and specifically …
Periodismo, Orden Y Cotidianeidad: Presentación De La Gaceta De Buenos Aires De Mariano Moreno (1810) Y Prospecto De La Aurora De Chile (1812) De Camilo Henríquez, Alvaro Kaempfer
Latin American, Caribbean, and Latino Studies Faculty Publications
En junio de 1810, Mariano Moreno aseguró que la Gaceta de Buenos Aires nacía para apoyar la exactitud, sinceridad, franqueza y continuidad del orden creado por la Revolución de Mayo y garantizar “que el Pueblo no resfríe en su confianza” (Gaceta 1-2). El periódico enfrentaría el engaño intencional e interesado, el uso malicioso de los errores del gobierno y la ignorancia sobre los asuntos públicos. Buscaría cohesionar a sus lectores y ordenar una sociedad en transición, ayudando a evitar “al fin una disolución, que envuelve a toda la comunidad en males irreparables” (Gaceta 1). Se planteaba, además, asegurarle a Pueblos …
Las Cartas Marcadas: Política Y Convivencia Textual En "Los Vigilantes" De Diamela Eltit, Alvaro Kaempfer
Las Cartas Marcadas: Política Y Convivencia Textual En "Los Vigilantes" De Diamela Eltit, Alvaro Kaempfer
Latin American, Caribbean, and Latino Studies Faculty Publications
La narrativa de Diamela Eltit (1949) irrumpió en Chile, durante los años '80s, como una escritura experimental y crítica del orden cultural, social y político ligado entonces a la dictadura militar implantada en el país desde 1973. Sus textos proponían una reflexión en torno a experiencias de subordinación, vigilancia y cohabitación con los demás en espacios cotidianamente violentados por un orden hostil. A la vez, era una escritura asociada a una práctica cultural que escenificaba en el espacio urbano un proyecto de redención social tras el encuentro con el otro y la común reocupación de la ciudad desde sus márgenes …
