Ecuador is characterized by its variety of ethnic groups, including mestizos, Indians and African descendents that have formed a rich heritage of multiple cultures. Whereas much attention has been given to indigenous and indigenista literature, there is a large gap in Ecuador's literary criticism on its afro-Ecuadorian literature. This thesis examines two afro-Ecuadorian novels, Juyungo (1942) and El ultimo rio (1966). I explore the social and economic environment in which afro-Ecuadorians...
Show moreEcuador is characterized by its variety of ethnic groups, including mestizos, Indians and African descendents that have formed a rich heritage of multiple cultures. Whereas much attention has been given to indigenous and indigenista literature, there is a large gap in Ecuador's literary criticism on its afro-Ecuadorian literature. This thesis examines two afro-Ecuadorian novels, Juyungo (1942) and El ultimo rio (1966). I explore the social and economic environment in which afro-Ecuadorians had to live during the beginning of the 20 th century. Whereas Ecuador's contemporary racial ideology and the social construction of the individual dates from the colonial times, the authors of these afro-Ecuadorian novels contest that discrimination and racism and propose a radically different conception of the nation, one more inclusive of its diverse cultures.

The realist authors of nineteenth-century France consistently represent the Jewish woman as the epitome of beauty and intelligence. While glorifying her image, this representation betrays a complex system of social and gender bias. By examining selected works of Balzac, the freres Goncourt, and Maupassant, a nuanced transformation can be traced in the representation of the Jewish woman. As a literary figure negotiating a social system that emphasizes her religious identity, she is celebrated,...
Show moreThe realist authors of nineteenth-century France consistently represent the Jewish woman as the epitome of beauty and intelligence. While glorifying her image, this representation betrays a complex system of social and gender bias. By examining selected works of Balzac, the freres Goncourt, and Maupassant, a nuanced transformation can be traced in the representation of the Jewish woman. As a literary figure negotiating a social system that emphasizes her religious identity, she is celebrated, vilified, and ultimately transformed into a heroine by virtue of her courage rather than her physical attributes.

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."

Show moreAt the turn of the twentieth century when French imperialism is on the rise, the writers and naval officers Pierre Loti and Victor Segalen represent otherness in their literary work in different and even antagonistic ways. Loti, who became famous early in his lifetime, depicts exotic lands and his vision of the Other in an impressionist, sentimentalist, and sometimes-ethnocentric way while Segalen proposes to redefine exoticism polluted by colonial discourse. Segalen recognizes the uniqueness of foreign cultures and innovate in giving a voice to the Other. In spite of the differences between the two authors, it has not been emphasized enough their mutual attraction for the past and imaginary civilizations, their opposition to the assimilation of foreign cultures into European culture, and their blindness toward colonial ideology.

The Puerto Rican author Manuel Ramos Otero died on October 7, 1990, leaving a body of work that includes four collections of short stories, two books of poetry, and a novel. At present, his work is not well-known outside of Puerto Rico. His readership is limited to Spanish speakers since he wrote exclusively in Spanish and his works have not been translated. This study introduces the author to the English-speaking reader, locating the work in its literary context, and presents a critical analysis and, to my knowledge, the first English translation of his short story "Vivir del cuento." It includes a discussion of the controversy regarding the appropriateness of English in Puerto Rican literature.

In addition to reading colonial Andean sources on the pre-Inca and Inca weaving traditions, I analyze the symbolic elements of a sample of acsus, women's traditional skirts. I link the symbols still used today to depictions of pre-Inca mythology and the cultural inclusions from Hispanic culture that have created a syncretism from processes of transculturation.

Liberals and Conservatives faced off in a battle to win control over the state, more specifically, to achieve hegemony. Peasants and urban dwellers were in the middle of such confrontation.

Show moreThe period of Colombian history known as La Violencia (The Violence 1948-1963) was characterized by widespread terror and crime. Liberals and Conservatives faced off in a battle to win control over the state, more specifically, to achieve hegemony. Peasants and urban dwellers were in the middle of such confrontation. And eventually, were co-opted by the rhetoric of each fraction, thereby becoming murderers, victims, or both. Colombian writer Gustavo Alvarez Gardeazabal recreated this time in two of his novels, Condores no entierran todos los dias y El ultimo gamonal. His historical narrative accounts the events and succeeds in recreating the languages and practices of La Violencia. This study will address these themes and explain how Gardeazabal portrays the role of the conservative State and its connections with criminal practices.

Show moreThis study questions the representation of the "black subject" in Alejo Carpentier's ¡Ecue Yamba O!

During the time period in which these two works were written, the ideological, economic and political interventionism of the United States inspired various movements or artistic resistence against "yankee" power in the Caribbean. My study shows how Carpentier and Roumain incorporate the "black subject" in their narratives tin order to generate a national identity to be used as an weapon against U.S. influence in their countries. I also analyze how the characterizations of these "black subjects" in ¡Ecue Yamba O! and Gouverneurs de la rosee, function within the Cuban and Haitian nationalist ideologies of the time period.

Show moreThe purpose of this study is to present an interpretation of Gottfried Keller's novella Die drei gerechten Kammacher and to combine it with a detailed analysis of the narrative technique and language of the work. Extensive research of relevant available literature indicates that there has not been a detailed analytical study of this novella, although it has frequently been described as one of the author's most creative and imaginative works . A number of critics have raised interesting questions concerning the fatalistic and hopeless ending of the three combmakers. Others have criticized the language of the narrative, criticism which will be considered in this thesis. This thesis is divided into five sections : 1) Introduction; II) Fundamentals of the novella: Genesis, Frame and Seldwyla; III) Interpretation of the novella; IV) Analysis of the Narrative Technique. These chapters are followed by an analysis of the work in totality and conclusion in which the above mentioned criticisms are given an evaluation.

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.

Lave between man and woman is the basic lave relationship considered in the investigation. Storm shows how love can overcome loneliness in various ways. The memory of a past love relationship is used to combat present loneliness. The idea of a lasting love relationship is embraced as the only possible solace in man's lonely struggle for existence. The love relationship is the faundation of a chain of generations which links the past, present and future, and, therefore, limits the loneliness inherent in human transitoriness. Love can only limit loneliness in Storm's Novellen, never eliminate it.

The relationship is intense, initially joyful but ultimately alienated. It dramatizes the feminine needs of the mother and the filial needs of the child, always in conflict. It weakens, as the mother undergoes personal trials, and, as the child grows older, love turns to hate and despair. This study of the novels reveals a consistent structure: the mother-child relationship in Duras is repeatedly depicted as an enslaving experience, comparable in its passionate development to a foredoomed love affair.

Show moreCritics of Beckett's trilogy (Molloy, Malone Dies, The Unnamable) have long puzzled over the profusion of bilabials in the characters' names: Molloy, Moran, Malone, Macmann. They all share a common initial. "Les Tripedes de la Trilogie" attempts to offer yet another interpretation: with its three bases, the letter M suggests in the context of the trilogy a man and his stick, reminiscent to Beckett of the three-legged "animal" in the riddle of the Sphinx. The omnipresent stick, in both its physical and symbolic functions, is shown to be the crucial instrument keeping the unstable Beckettian creatures briefly upright in their "struggle for life." As an extension of the body, it allows them to fight and to survive. As a cylindrical rod, it acquires metaphysical associations with divine or supernatural power.

Cixous rejects the conclusions reached by Freud in the "Dora case" and rewrites the analysis without changing the sequence of events.

The importance of the play is that it shifts responsibility from Dora to the entire society to which she belongs. Cixous's Dora becomes the symbol of woman who has overcome anguish and shattered the traditional "jougs et censures"...
