Tabaquismo: ¿Negocio Y Forma De Identidad Cultural?, Caroline Zuhone
Tabaquismo: ¿Negocio Y Forma De Identidad Cultural?, Caroline Zuhone
Modern Language, Literature, and Culture Honors Theses
España es un país con un nivel de desarrollo similar a los Estados Unidos, no obstante, a pesar de su inserción dentro de los países del primer mundo tiene un índice que no se corresponde con esta categoría, una gran parte de su población usa tabaco frecuentemente. Con la actualización de muchos trabajos científicos que explican los efectos negativos del tabaco y su difusión pública, en los Estados Unidos se ha logrado que muchas personas dejen de fumar. No ha sucedido lo mismo en España, allí muchos españoles siguen consumiendo tabaco desestimando la difusión de los mismos estudios científicos. El …
The Cartography Of The New World: Hernán Cortés’S Literary Mapping Of America, Sarah Tietz
The Cartography Of The New World: Hernán Cortés’S Literary Mapping Of America, Sarah Tietz
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
The Age of Discovery travel narratives from the fifteenth and sixteenth century, written by European explorers to the Americas, can be understood not only as narratives, but also as literary maps of the New World. Specifically, Hernán Cortés’s Second Letter in Cartas de Relación exemplifies the ways in which literary cartography helped write the Americas into existence in Europe. Cortés’s map does not reproduce the land he encounters, it creates the space known as America. His letters become a map in three ways. First, Cortés deliberately included descriptions of features of the land and natives that would impress the Christian …
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
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 …
Shakespeare And Cervantes Are Dead: The Construction Of Fiction And Reality In Hamlet And Don Quixote, Joanna Parypinski
Shakespeare And Cervantes Are Dead: The Construction Of Fiction And Reality In Hamlet And Don Quixote, Joanna Parypinski
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
The reason that Hamlet and Don Quixote can be studied so thoroughly on the poststructuralist notion of a false or constructed reality is because they were both works far ahead of their time, often reflecting extremely postmodernist ideas. Don Quixote is generally considered the first modern novel, and Hamlet is also identified with the beginning of the modern age (Oort 319). Yet beyond this, these authors play games with the reader and with the structure of the fiction itself, which would fit sensibly in a 20th or 21st century novel rather than an early 17th century work. These new methods …
La Construcción Del Espacio Urbano En La Poesía Social De Gabriel Aresti: Bilbao Ante La Modernidad, Irune Del Rio Gabiola
La Construcción Del Espacio Urbano En La Poesía Social De Gabriel Aresti: Bilbao Ante La Modernidad, Irune Del Rio Gabiola
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
This essay focuses on the construction of urban space through Gabriel Aresti's poetry during Franco's dictatorship. On the one hand, Aresti emphasizes the social injustices in the city between the new Basque bourgeoisie and the Castilian and rural Basque immigrants. On the other hand, the poet wants to retrieve Basque language and tradition as a reaction to a progressive cultural loss due to the presence of 'españolidad' and to urban changes. Therefore, this conflict generates the subjective and specific experience of a space that needs to negotiate cultural and social heterogeneity while articulating 'Basquism' and integrating the 'other'.
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 …
Good Intentions Aren't Enough: Intellectuals And Violence In Luis Goytisolo's Mzungo, Terri Carney
Good Intentions Aren't Enough: Intellectuals And Violence In Luis Goytisolo's Mzungo, Terri Carney
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
In the 1990s Luis Goytisolo explores the possibilities of popular fiction, adapting various genres (travel, mystery, erotic, historical) to accomodate his long-term project of unpacking Western Values. Indeed, Goytisolo’s flirtation with the best-selling genre fiction constitutes a postmodern gesture of “complicitous critique.”For example, in Escalera hacia el cielo (1999) Goytisolo exploits the erotic genre to challenge the traditional paradigm of the dominant male gaze and the objectified female body and to offer instead expressions of mutuality. In Mzungo (1996), Goytisolo engages the travel novel to undermine the culturally dominant position of the white European male who “discovers” an unknown culture/geography …
Luis Goytisolo’S La Paradoja Del Ave Migratoria As Postmodern Allegory: A Critique Of Absolutism, Terri Carney
Luis Goytisolo’S La Paradoja Del Ave Migratoria As Postmodern Allegory: A Critique Of Absolutism, Terri Carney
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
Luis Goytisolo’s short work of fiction, La paradoja del ave migratoria, was published in 1987 in a Post-Franco Spain and a Postmodern world. I will investigate this unusual novel as a postmodern allegory, relying on Brian McHale’s assertion that postmodern allegory challenges the “unequivocalness of traditional allegories” by problematizing the naive assumption that abstract concepts can be communicated transparently through language (1987, 141). Luis Goytisolo populates his allegory with mythical, and historical characters that hail from a dizzying array of time periods, creating a heterotopic universe in which no one context of references serves as the key to interpretation. …
Galdós's Segunda Manera: Rhetorical Strategies And Affective Response, Linda M. Willem
Galdós's Segunda Manera: Rhetorical Strategies And Affective Response, Linda M. Willem
Butler University Books
This book explores the change that occurred in the writings of Spanish novelist Benito Pérez Galdós when he entered his segunda manera in 1881 with the publication of La desberedada, his first contemporary novel. By studying his novels in light of how their stories are told, Linda Willem shows that La desberedada marks the beginning of a more sophisticated and varied mode of narrative presentation in Galdós's work. Through close readings of his first seven contemporary novels, Willem shows how the affective response associated with various narrative devices plays a role in the rhetorical strategies of each text.
Narrative Voice, Point Of View, And Characterization In Graciliano Ramos's Vidas Sêcas, Linda M. Willem
Narrative Voice, Point Of View, And Characterization In Graciliano Ramos's Vidas Sêcas, Linda M. Willem
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
Virtually all criticism concerning Vidas Sêcas includes a discussion of its multiple point of view format and its use of free indirect style. It is generally agreed that the shifting points of view provide a multifaceted view of reality, and that the free indirect style technique is a verisimilar method of presenting the thoughts of the inarticulate protagonists, as well as being a means of combining third person objectivity with first person subjectivity. These observations, however, show a tendency to treat narrative voice and point of view as a single phenomenon, thereby blurring the distinction between the two. Yet the …
Folkloric Structure And Narrative Voice In Bècquer's Leyendas, Linda M. Willem
Folkloric Structure And Narrative Voice In Bècquer's Leyendas, Linda M. Willem
Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS
The bulk of the critical study of Gustavo Bècquer's leyendas has dealt with the thematics, stylistics, or the folkloric motifs and origins of the individual works. Surprisingly little attention has been given to the structure or the narrative techniques used in the leyendas as a whole. The purpose of this study is to examine these structural and narrative aspects from a folkloric perspective in order to better appreciate Bècquer's blending of popular and literary art forms.
