Mi morena, mi morena, My dark woman, my dark woman, Y vuelvo a decir morena and I say again dark woman. El amor de una mujer Love for a woman me estaba volviendo loco was driving me crazy; Me dijo una sin querer, Another told me, déjala que salga un poco “Let her go a bit, Porque tiene que caer Because she has to fall como de la palma el coco like a coconut from a palm tree.” El amor de una morena Love for a dark woman loco me quería poner was driving me crazy; Se me sentaba en las piernas She would sit on my lap y me empezaba a morder, and start to bite me.

No seas ingrata conmigo, Don’t be ungrateful toward me; déjame la puerta abierta leave your door open for me. Me dijo a mí una mujer A woman once told me que por feo no me quería, that she did not love me because I was ugly, Al momento le hice ver But soon I showed her que esa era una tontería how that was foolish; Me hubiera mandado a hacer For she had made me to order, and I’d be y a su gusto me tendría exactly how she wanted me to be. Adios te dice quien te ama, Goodbye says the one who loves you, mira lo lejos que va see how far he is going.

Ése sí era santulario He really was saintly, no pícaro como yo not mischievous like me. Cogollo de lima, Harvest of limes, rama de laurel branch of laurel Cómo quieres china How do you want me que te vaya a ver to come see you Si salgo de guardia, If I have to go on guard, voy para el cuartel I’m going to the barracks Mis zapatos blancos With my white shoes, los voy a vender which I’m going to sell Porque ya no tengo Because I don’t have enough money, ni para comer not even for food Si son los de encima If they’re the bargain ones, son de cuero viejo they’re made of old leather, Yo por donde quiera Every way you look at me se me ve el pellejo you see old skin Si salgo a bailar If I go dancing hago mucho ruido I make a lot of noise, Ya parezco río I am noisy de esos muy crecidos.

    ENSAYOS / ESSAYS POESIA / POETRY InVerso Home A Critical Analysis of Bernal Diaz del Castillo’s La Conquista de Nueva España: Problems in Historiography. By Daniel Santana-Hernandez Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer y la influencia de Heinrich Heine, por Linda Ojeda Back to Issue 16 InVerso Home A Critical Analysis of Bernal Diaz del Castillo’s La Conquista de Nueva España: Problems in Historiography Daniel Santana-Hernandez Department of History, California State University, Northridge Abstract Of all the Spaniard accounts of the conquest of Mexico, Bernal Diaz Del Castillo’s are one of many that nurture the violent imaginations of historians citing pre-Cuauhtemoc Mesoamerican civilization. Castillo is well known for his first-hand experience in the conquest. He is especially known for his repeated accounts of supposed mass human sacrifice. He also paints us a picture of how great a captain he saw Hernan Cortes to be and how he felt they were on a mission to bring Christianity to the nation. Often historians may overlook the possibility that the conquistador’s accounts may have been grossly exaggerated. Here, I briefly explore Castillo’s La conquista de Nueva España (The Conquest of New Spain) and examine the fallacies that surround his written accounts such as the questionable intent of the Spaniards, his flawed portrayals of Mesoamerican civilization, and his supposed accounts of mass human sacrifice. Moreover, I relate this to contemporary problems in the field of historiography where historians may rely too heavily on the mistranslations and misinterpretations of amateur historians. Introduction Some historians rarely take into account the possibility of inaccuracies in Díaz’s writings.

  • Derlas Vol. 11 No. 1 J P Rivera
    DeRLAS Vol. 11 No. 1 J P Rivera Delaware Review of Latin American Studies Vol. 11 No. 1 June 30, 2010 Cabeza colosal: la raza y la guerra de escrituras en Colibrí de Severo Sarduy Juan Pablo Rivera Department of World Languages Westfield State College [email protected] Abstract La figura del luchador en Colibrí encarna el cuestionamiento de los orígenes que recorre la obra entera de Sarduy. Lo hace al ser emblema de un origen dudoso y múltiple: (1) el del "luchador" representado en uno de los artefactos mejor logrados del repertorio cultural olmeca y (2) el de los famosos luchadores que discute Roland Barthes en su conocida Mythologies. El proceso de blanqueamiento que atraviesa Colibrí a través del relato no es sino la encarnación o manifestación física de una tensión entre dos tradiciones de escritura: las dudosas raíces de los olmecas en Mesoamérica (la arqueología mesoamericana) y el rastro de la escritura bartheana. ******************************** The virtue of all-in wrestling is that it is the spectacle of excess.1 Roland Barthes, Mythologies El título del primer capítulo de la novela Colibrí, del autor cubano Severo Sarduy, nos pone frente a una representación monumental que cae sobre la página con el peso originario de los ancestros: una cabeza colosal olmeca2. La imagen colosal regresa en varios momentos del relato para marcar el lugar primigenio de la jungla, las profundidades selváticas. Este adjetivo, “colosal,” retrata de entrada la transposición de un vocabulario Occidental al terreno latinoamericano, pues sugiere continuidades falsas entre los colosos de la antigüedad clásica y las representaciones amerindias.

  • Las Mujeres Del Otro Lado: a Critique of the Representations of Mexican Women at the U.S.-Mexico Border
    LAS MUJERES DEL OTRO LADO: A CRITIQUE OF THE REPRESENTATIONS OF MEXICAN WOMEN AT THE U.S.-MEXICO BORDER By Adriana Martinez-Fernandez A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Hispanic Cultural Studies 2011 ABSTRACT LAS MUJERES DEL OTRO LADO: A CRITIQUE OF THE REPRESENTATIONS OF MEXICAN WOMEN AT THE U.S.-MEXICO BORDER By Adriana Martinez-Fernandez This dissertation analyzes cultural representations of Mexican border women and their interactions with their political and social environment. Short stories, novels, documentaries, plays, testimonial literature and films on the Mexican women at the U.S.-Mexico border are crucial to the understanding of gendered constructions at la frontera, as they formulate a metacommentary to a variety of complex issues ‘on the ground.’ That is to say, the portrayals of border women unquestionably attest to often-clashing perspectives on culture, nation, sexuality and class. This dissertation focuses on the following texts: Chapter 1 centers on Ciudad Juárez, examining Alicia Gaspar de Alba’s novel Desert Blood: The Juárez Murders (2005) and the documentary film La Batalla de las Cruces (2005), directed by Rafael Bonilla. These texts have been chosen because their portrayals of juarense women address the discourse of victimization from different perspectives within the context of the hundreds of murders of women that have afflicted this city with impunity since 1993. These texts reflect the paradoxes that emerge either from underlining the helpless condition of the victims or from creating a public persona for the activists campaigning against the murders.

    (De)humanizing Narratives of Terrorism in Spain and Peru Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Melissa Doran, M.A. Graduate Program in Spanish and Portuguese The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Ulises Juan Zevallos-Aguilar, Advisor Ignacio Corona Aurélie Vialette Copyright by Melissa Doran 2014 2 Abstract Both Spain and Peru experienced protracted violent conflicts between insurgent groups and State forces during the second half of the twentieth century. In Spain, this involved Euskadi Ta Askatasuna (ETA), a radical Basque nationalist organization which sought Basque autonomy via armed struggle in a conflict which lasted from 1959 until 2011. In Peru, the insurgent threat was represented by Sendero Luminoso, a Maoist guerrilla insurgency based in the Peruvian highlands that sought drastic sociopolitical change within Peru. Sendero Luminoso launched what they deemed a people’s war in 1980, and the bloody conflict that ensued continued until 1992. The damage caused by each of these conflicts was monumental, both in terms of the loss of human life and damage to infrastructure in both countries. In this dissertation I examine the depiction of these conflicts in a selection of Peruvian and Spanish novels and films. I argue that each work promotes a certain version of the conflict it describes, and that this can be revealed through an analysis of the humanizing and dehumanizing discourses at play in the representation of the actors in both of these conflicts. From Peru, I will examine Santiago Roncagliolo’s novel Abril rojo (2006) and Fabrizio Aguilar’s film Paloma de papel (2003).
