This thesis aims to rescue the name of Elisabeth Mulder, a Spanish female poet who started to publish her first poetry books around the rise of the Generation of 1927 in Spain. The importance of this work hinges on the recognition of Mulder as a female poet whose work has been marginalized from the literary canon, like that of many other women of her era. This thesis focuses on Mulde''s third poetry collection, Sinfonâia en rojo, which was published in 1929 and stands out for its symbolic...
Show moreThis thesis aims to rescue the name of Elisabeth Mulder, a Spanish female poet who started to publish her first poetry books around the rise of the Generation of 1927 in Spain. The importance of this work hinges on the recognition of Mulder as a female poet whose work has been marginalized from the literary canon, like that of many other women of her era. This thesis focuses on Mulde''s third poetry collection, Sinfonâia en rojo, which was published in 1929 and stands out for its symbolic richness and its romantic and modernist features. Part of this research deals with the symbolism of the color red and the meanings that red acquires within the context of the poems. The main leitmotivs of Sinfonâia en rojo are the images of fire and blood, which are used to make reference to both the emotional and the physical world of the poetic voice. The research also focuses on the connections between Mulder's work and that of her contemporaries, and it suggests that she was in contact with the literary world of her era.

Rafael Leonidas Trujillo (1891-1961), the ruthless Dominican Republic ruler dominated his island’s politics for over thirty years. In his acclaimed 2000 novel, The Feast of the Goat, Peruvian Nobel laureate Mario Vargas Llosa creates Urania Cabral, a 49-year-old émigrée who at 14 left her nation after becoming Trujillo’s sexual victim. The novel, told from many perspectives, focuses on her return, the dictator’s last day, and the story of the four conspirators waiting to ambush him the night...
Show moreRafael Leonidas Trujillo (1891-1961), the ruthless Dominican Republic ruler dominated his island’s politics for over thirty years. In his acclaimed 2000 novel, The Feast of the Goat, Peruvian Nobel laureate Mario Vargas Llosa creates Urania Cabral, a 49-year-old émigrée who at 14 left her nation after becoming Trujillo’s sexual victim. The novel, told from many perspectives, focuses on her return, the dictator’s last day, and the story of the four conspirators waiting to ambush him the night of May 30th 1961. My study analyzes the complex narrative structures of the novel as masterful “rupturing” techniques. Through these the reader pieces together the broken body politic of a traumatized nation as Urania reconstructs in painful detail how the impotent dictator digitally rapes her to ensure her body bears the mark of his brutal anger and frustration.

Silas Weir Mitchell in 1872 defined as "phantom limb" the sensation and feelings of anxiety, confusion and even pain the amputee receives from an absent body part. By extending this concept and applying it to the architectural imagery within literature, it is possible to observe the dynamics between the characters and their structural environment. This thesis explores the relation between spatial structure and identity in two Latin American works: "Walking Around" (1933) by Pablo Neruda and...
Show moreSilas Weir Mitchell in 1872 defined as "phantom limb" the sensation and feelings of anxiety, confusion and even pain the amputee receives from an absent body part. By extending this concept and applying it to the architectural imagery within literature, it is possible to observe the dynamics between the characters and their structural environment. This thesis explores the relation between spatial structure and identity in two Latin American works: "Walking Around" (1933) by Pablo Neruda and Aura (1962) by Carlos Fuentes. Both authors introduce architecture as an intrinsic element in the construction of their narrative; Neruda's poetic voice wanders around a seemingly living city, while Fuentes's characters abandon the city to become part of a house. The architectural imagery of both texts leads the reader to explore the construction of its literary subjects and to see the physical space as their "phantom limbs." This reading will elucidate the importance of architecture within Latin American literature as well as reveal the maneuvering of the structural representations in the construction of the Latin America identity.

Through careful selection of historical events and linguistic transformations, Ana Lydia Vega, born in 1946, tries to capture the essence of a diverse array of Puerto Rican figures. She bases her fiction on historical facts, cultural aspects, and linguistic peculiarities. Her writing blends these three aspects; however, the use of the unique Puerto Rican verbal expression is the foremost tool of her conceptualization.

Show moreThrough careful selection of historical events and linguistic transformations, Ana Lydia Vega, born in 1946, tries to capture the essence of a diverse array of Puerto Rican figures. She bases her fiction on historical facts, cultural aspects, and linguistic peculiarities. Her writing blends these three aspects; however, the use of the unique Puerto Rican verbal expression is the foremost tool of her conceptualization. Because of the attention to detail, her work has become focal in contemporary Puerto Rican studies. Her work is marked by the constant use of humor even though the daily lives of her characters are marked by the tragedy of Puerto Rican historical search for identity. This study examines four of her stories "Letra para salsa y tres soneos por encargo," "Puerto Rican Syndrome o cosas extranas veredes," "Sobre tumbas y heroes (folletin de caballeria boricua)" y "El regreso del heroe." Her transformation of history, with its political connotations, and of culture through the fine articulation of colloquial Puerto Rican Spanish constitute the focus of this study.

- Abstract/Description

The main force that directed the course of Valle-Inclan's literary work was his spiritualism. This spiritualism, the essence of Valle-Inclan's Carlism, led to a desire on his part to transcend the senses and chronological time, and found expression in his art, guiding the evolution of his aesthetics from the Sonatas to the Esperpento, permeating his traditionalism as well as his radicalism, and manifesting itself in the mystical-aesthetic perspective expounded in La lampara maravillosa.

Show moreThe main force that directed the course of Valle-Inclan's literary work was his spiritualism. This spiritualism, the essence of Valle-Inclan's Carlism, led to a desire on his part to transcend the senses and chronological time, and found expression in his art, guiding the evolution of his aesthetics from the Sonatas to the Esperpento, permeating his traditionalism as well as his radicalism, and manifesting itself in the mystical-aesthetic perspective expounded in La lampara maravillosa. Valle-Inclan parallels the process of spiritual life substituting the divine intervention that characterizes the mystical phenomenon with artificial means, namely, the use of marihuana. The perspective that he obtains through this process offers a grotesque, radical vision of Spanish reality; to better reflect this bitter reality, Valle-Inclan created the technique of the Esperpento. This approach seeks to clarify the confusion among critics dealing with this writer's contradictory political postures.

In Mexico, fragmentation is an integral element in social, political, and literary realities expressing an inequality among its citizens. This disparity is reflected in literary and cinematic representations. The Mexican male is the agent that perpetuates the fractured society, and his representation in the arts reflects the impediments to social progress in both the heterosexual and homosexual communities.

Show moreIn Mexico, fragmentation is an integral element in social, political, and literary realities expressing an inequality among its citizens. This disparity is reflected in literary and cinematic representations. The Mexican male is the agent that perpetuates the fractured society, and his representation in the arts reflects the impediments to social progress in both the heterosexual and homosexual communities. The novels Los de abajo, Pedro Paramo , and La muerte de Artemio Cruz, present the traditional Mexican male and images of masculinity in the heterosexual community. El vampiro de la Colonia Roma by Luis Zapata introduces the male homosexual character into Mexican discourse and implies how he is affected by fragmentation. The film Y tu mama tambien (2001) by Alfonso Cuaron proposes that inequality will be perpetuated if Mexican society does not change its views of what is to be considered "masculine."
