Beyond "Viuda De": Practical Approaches To Promoting Mexican Books Printed At Women-Owned Businesses, Taylor Leigh, Colleen Barrett
Beyond "Viuda De": Practical Approaches To Promoting Mexican Books Printed At Women-Owned Businesses, Taylor Leigh, Colleen Barrett
Library Presentations
Women print shop owners have existed for much longer than most people realize; the first examples in Mexico date to the seventeenth century. Unfortunately, these texts are not always clearly described in a way that is findable beyond searching “viuda de.” Though many title-pages describe their businesses in terms of being a widow of their husband, these business owners deserve credit for their entrepreneurial efforts and should be findable in their own right. This poster would highlight the strategies and steps taken by a Hispanic Studies Librarian and a Rare Books Librarian to better promote these types of works held …

Modernización Y Espacio Urbano: El Protagonismo De La Ciudad En La Literatura Latinoamericana De Fin De Siglo (1880-1920), Gabriela Carolina Escobar Rodríguez
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Urban space has played a prominent role in late nineteenth century and early twentieth century Latin American literature and culture due to the historical and political importance that cities have had and to the relevant role they played in the passage of Latin-American to modernity at the end of the nineteenth century. In spite of this, the fin de siècle´s city novels have not received the attention they deserve. They have often been misclassified (the Latin American urban novel has been studied almost exclusively as a phenomenon of the second half of the 20th century) and/or ignored even though they …

Correspondencias Sumergidas: Latinoamericanismo, Performance Y Archivo En Manuel Ugarte, Fernando Degiovanni
Publications and Research
A partir de la gira de conferencias emprendida por el escritor argentino Manuel Ugarte entre 1911 y 1913, este artículo explora la reconversión del latinoamericanismo de discurso espiritualista y literario a práctica performática y espectacular, articulada por un intelectual militante para una multitud que ve y oye. En particular, estudia el rol que Ugarte otorga al telegrama, producto de las tecnologías de comunicación por cable submarino, en la organización de colectivos estudiantiles y obreros, destinados a reconstituir desde el activismo la idea misma de América Latina. El destino de un continente (1923), libro en el que Ugarte narra la gira, …

FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The disrupting visual and literary languages of the turn of the 19th century to the 1930’s constitute an area of research as a moment of crystallization of the Cuban national consciousness or identity. Writers and artists in Hispanic Caribbean region had to face the challenge of finding ways to include highly racialized elements (such as religion and popular culture) within the rhetorical space of the elites, in other words, what Angel Rama has labeled the "Republic of letters". The result of these efforts not only opened a new kind of negotiation of the idea of nation, but also meant …

The article explore how Brazilian thinker Euclides Da Cunha's 1902 Sertões critically rewrites Argentine writer and statesman Domingo Faustino Sarmiento's 1845 Facundo, o civilización y barbarie. It mentions that in 1889 Brazil had overthrown the Hemisphere's last monarchy and embraced republican government under a president, and reports the region's uneven process of political, social, and economic modernization during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Relatos, Memoria Y Contrahistorias De La Guerra Civil Peruana (1895) A Través De La Prensa Político-Satírica En Lima (1892-1895), Genesis H. Portillo
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation is a multidisciplinary study that brings together the fields of literature, history, visual arts, cultural studies and journalism in order to understand how satire, a discourse mode that subverts any kind of written format, was used in the political-satirical press to question and diminish power figures in the context of the fall of the Segundo Militarismo (Second Militarism) government of Andres Caceres in late l9th century Peru. The Pacific War (1879-1883) resulted in the birth of Segundo Militarismo along with the rise to power of Peruvian war hero Andres Avelino Caceres, whom many in Peru saw as a …
Ecuador Is Black: Afro-Ecuadorian Literary Resistance In Drums Under My Skin, Gabriella Davis
Ecuador Is Black: Afro-Ecuadorian Literary Resistance In Drums Under My Skin, Gabriella Davis
Student Scholars Day Oral Presentations
The transcendence of Black Ecuadorian literature has the power to rewrite narratives that have constructed them as hypersexual or invisible. By telling their own stories, Black Ecuadorian writers not only place Blackness into the Ecuadorian national narrative. They make their existence the center of everything. In Drums Under My Skin, Luz Argentina Chiriboga writes of Rebeca, a mulata teenager struggling to accept her Blackness while spilt between the ideological spaces of Quito and Esmeraldas. Chiriboga confronts racism in Ecuador based around mestizaje by making Blackness the sole narrative voice and rejects ideas that Blackness doesn’t belong in Ecuador. Concurrently, she …
Juana Dib Y El Mahyar Árabe-Americano, Marcus S. Palmer
Juana Dib Y El Mahyar Árabe-Americano, Marcus S. Palmer
Spanish Faculty Publications
This paper investigates the thematic and aesthetic links between Juana Dib’s poetry with that of emigrant Mahjar writers. It evidences adaptations of perennial themes in Arabic poetry (nationalism, nostalgia, and memory) in Dib’s verses, and argues that the emigrant writers’ break with their poetic past was more selective than it was arbitrary. This contribution then situates Juana Dib’s poetry within the Mahjar literary tradition, and introduces the author as an Arab American poet, in dialogue with her cultural and linguistic heritage.
El presente artículo indaga sobre los vínculos temáticos y estéticos entre la poesía de Juana Dib y la de …

Publications and Research
The overall purpose of this analysis was to exemplify the parallels between the governmental responses to the Tlatelolco Massacre of 1968 and the COVID-19 Pandemic of 2020. “Memorial de Tlatelolco” is a poem that was written by Mexican poet and activist, Rosario Castellanos in 1968 following the Tlatelolco Massacre. The findings of this research note the familiarity instilled in those suffering through the COVID-19 Pandemic by Castellanos' poem.
El Cuerpo En La Poesía De Mujeres Ecuatorianas, Chloe Hood
El Cuerpo En La Poesía De Mujeres Ecuatorianas, Chloe Hood
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
Este proyecto examina la presencia del cuerpo humano en la poesía de tres mujeres ecuatorianas: Aleyda Quevedo Rojas, Aurora Estrada y Ayala, y Sophia Yánez. Enfoco en como las imágenes del cuerpo en su poesía están relatados con algunos temas del poder y el genero. Específicamente, exploro los temas del patriarcado, el colonialismo, y la creación. En relación con el patriarcado, encontré que la poesía de Aleyda Quevedo Rojas aborda mucho con la expectativa social para la perfección del cuerpo femenino. Ella rechaza esta expectativa y abraza las imperfecciones de su cuerpo, incluyendo la fracasa del cuerpo a través de …

Berta Vive": Solidaridades Transnacionales Y Luchas Interseccionales En Honduras, Irune Del Río Gabiola
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
Desde la destitución de Manuel Zelaya en 2009 por un golpe de estado y los subsiguientes gobiernos, Honduras ha experimentado altos niveles de violencia e impunidad gubernamental intensificados por la persecución y aniquilación de periodistas, profesores, abogados, feministas y activistas medioambientales como Berta Cáceres. Sin embargo, a partir de este momento, la resistencia se ha fortalecido mediante la transnacionalización e interseccionalidad de luchas solidarias en busca de la justicia social y de alternativas vitales a las políticas de muerte instauradas por los gobiernos conservadores. En este sentido, me propongo analizar la importancia de la solidaridad como herramienta de descolonización y …

Reclaiming The Narrative Of A Generation: The Representation Of Argentina’S Last Dictatorship Through Cinema, Hana Kristensen
Reclaiming The Narrative Of A Generation: The Representation Of Argentina’S Last Dictatorship Through Cinema, Hana Kristensen
Hispanic Studies Honors Papers
Over 453 films have been made focusing on the topic of the last dictatorship in Argentina (1976-1983), otherwise known worldwide as the Dirty War. This time period is characterized by the vile human rights abuses committed by the military junta against those who opposed the government, leading to the disappearances of 30.000 people, many of whom left children behind. These children were often forced to grow up, giving up their childhood, due to their parents' militancy. In the national story of the dictatorship, these children's stories and experiences have often been forgotten. This thesis will investigate the portrayal of the …

José Martí: The World's Most Popular Poetry, And A Vision For The Americas, Anne Fountain
Faculty Publications
This chapter begins with a capsule biographical sketch that situates José Martí as an agent of decolonization. It discusses Martí's place in literature, especially Spanish American letters, his transcultural importance, his work in translation, his role in the history of Cuban–US relations, and his vision for US relations with Latin America. It demonstrates the extraordinary international reach of his most popular writing by giving close attention to how two works, a book of poetry, Simple Verses (Versos Sencillos) and an essay, “Our America” (“Nuestra América”) have come to represent him to an increasingly broad audience.
O Sucesso Do Inacabado: Clarice Lispector E Sua “Children’S Corner” Na Revista Senhor, Mariela Méndez
O Sucesso Do Inacabado: Clarice Lispector E Sua “Children’S Corner” Na Revista Senhor, Mariela Méndez
Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications
In 1959, when the sophisticated magazine Senhor was launched in Rio de Janeiro, the renowned writer Clarice Lispector was invited to join this new publishing venture targeted at educated upper-class men. As a separated woman in need of an income to support herself and her two children, Lispector accepted the offer, regularly contributing with chronicles/stories, and starting at the end of 1961 a column that she named “Children's Corner” in the section “Sr. & Cía.” These contributions are fragmentary, exploratory, somewhat hinting at failure. This article reads Lispector’s texts for Senhor as interventions that enact a rupture in a narrative …

También, incorporo las perspectivas de personas involucradas en el estudio y la promoción de la literatura de este tema a través de entrevistas personales que examinan el …

In this article, I will focus on two influential writers from the south of Brazil, Cristiane Sobral who currently lives in Brasília, from Rio de Janeiro, and Conceição Evaristo who currently lives in Rio de Janeiro state, from Minas Gerais. I got to know them in São Paulo in 2015 at a public event: the “Afroétnica Flink!

Dark Networks And Pathogens Undermining Democracies: Guillermo Del Toro And Chuck Hogan’S The Strain, Carmen A. Serrano
Languages, Literatures and Cultures Faculty Scholarship
As economies and cultures morph due to technoscience, vampire entities also mutate so as to still provoke fear ‒their bodies change, their populations grow and their networks expand; yet the way to annihilate them becomes less obvious. Responding to these modern day changes, Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan’s television series The Strain (2014-2017) uncannily echoes, or perhaps foreshadows, the social realities under an informational, networked, and epidemiological paradigm. The filmmakers here present viewers with hybrid monsters and environments that are highly interconnected and pathogenic, reflecting contemporary social fears regarding failing democracies and global pandemics. Drawing from Guillermo del Toro’s …

“Um ‘Isto’ Que Não Chega A Ser Crônica”: Nuevos Materialismos En La Prosa De Clarice Lispector, Mariela Méndez
Latin American, Latino and Iberian Studies Faculty Publications
Este ensayo examina un corpus de escritos producidos por Clarice Lispector en la década del sesenta escasamente estudiados. Se trata de textos muchas veces publicados bajo la rúbrica de “crónicas” que fracasan en cumplir con lo que tradicionalmente se espera del género. Recurriendo a las teorías de los nuevos materialismos feministas articuladas por Stacy Alaimo, Karen Barad y Nancy Tuana, el análisis se centra en estos textos “fracasados”, a la par que en las “columnas/páginas femeninas” diseñadas por Lispector, para postular este fracaso como intervención cultural y política que redefine la categoría de lo humano.

Masculinidad Y Nación: Modelos Alternativos De Masculinidad En Las Obras De Juan Goytisolo Y Mario Vargas Llosa, Jose M. Morcillo Gomez
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation focuses on the construction of national discourse from a gender perspective and examines how the concepts of nation and masculinity intersect each other in the works of Spanish writer Juan Goytisolo (1931-2017) and Peruvian Nobel laureate Mario Vargas Llosa (1936). This study sheds light on how fiction and real life events are interconnected in some of the novels and autobiographical works of both authors. The works analysed include: Señas de identidad (1966), Reivindicación del conde don Julián (1970), Juan sin tierra (1975), Coto vedado (1985), and Carajicomedia (2000) by Goytisolo, as well as La ciudad y los perros …

Memoria, Identidad Y Literatura Del Yo: Narrativas De La Segunda Generación De Escritores Exiliados Por La Guerra Civil Española, Juan Antonio Godoy
FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The victory of the dictator Francisco Franco, after the Spanish Civil War (1936- 1939), resulted in the political repression of thousands of citizens who had been loyal to the Republican government, and the exile of more than 200,000 civilians. The studies of Spanish Civil war exile literature have paid more attention to the first generation of exiled writers. However, the purpose of this dissertation is to study the construction of the self in the autobiographical and auto-fictional works written by the second generation. These authors -- born between 1920 and 1938-- left Spain as children and reached adulthood in different …

Para alguns críticos especializados em ficção cientifica brasileira, as transformações produzidas na sociedade, em razão das políticas de industrialização e de desenvolvimento econômico implementadas pela última ditadura militar (1964-85), constituem uma base (Ginway 2004), a partir da qual é possível identificar momentos estéticos especificos no gênero, marcados pelo seu posicionamento frente à tecnologia: imediatamente antes (década de 1960), durante (1970) e depois da aplicação de medidas políticas (1980) que significaram uma crescente modernização tecnológica da sociedade brasileira.

Seropositivo: Queer Solidarity & Survival In Severo Sarduy’S Fiction, Huber Jaramillo Gil

With the onset of the HIV epidemic, to prevent transmission, the Cuban government aggressively tested its sexually active population, sending infected people to live in quarantined sanitariums. It is in these establishments, in which an HIV-ridden Sarduy sets his last novel, entitled Pájaros de la playa (1993). Even as the reader witnesses the degradation and disintegration of sickened bodies, which the Nation rejected and discarded, Sarduy provides gender and sexual dissidents with a vision of themselves that does not compromise their queerness when confronting institutions of power. Instead, through subversion, appropriation and solidarity, he enacts a creative exploration of existence …
