  • Juan Rulfo Y Comala
    Memoria V Foro Colima y su Región Arqueología, antropología e historia Juan Carlos Reyes G. (ed.) Colima, México; Gobierno del Estado de Colima, Secretaría de Cultura, 2009. Juan Rulfo y Comala C. P. Enrique Ceballos Ramos Introducción El genio de nuestra literatura mexicana, Juan Rulfo, escribió dos libros fundamentales El Llano en Llamas en 1953 y Pedro Páramo en 1955. Rulfo es el autor de las letras mexicanas mas estudiado, traducido y biografiado. Su novela Pedro Páramo la desarrolla en un pueblo fantasma llamado Comala, que así también se llama nuestro Comala, ubicado a unos cuantos kilómetros de nuestra capital. Me entró la inquietud de por qué bautizó así al pueblo fantasma y me propuse tratar de investigar la razón. Siempre escuché la versión de que tenía un tío sacerdote en Comala y que por eso escogió el lugar. Cualquiera que haya sido la razón de escoger a Comala, a los colimenses nos benefició porque puso el nombre de nuestro querido Comala en al ámbito literario mundial. Cronología de Rulfo 1917 Nace Juan Nepomuceno Carlos Pérez Rulfo Vizcaíno el 16 de mayo en Sayula, Jal. 1923 Su padre, Juan Nepomuceno Pérez Rulfo es asesinado en San Pedro Toxin. Queda Rulfo huérfano a los 6 años, vivía entonces en San Gabriel, Jal. 1 1926 Teniendo 9 años de edad estalla la guerra cristera. El cura Irineo Monroy desplaza la biblioteca del curato de San Gabriel a la casa de la familia Vizcaíno. Ahí Rulfo aprendió a leer. 1927 A los 10 años es enviado al orfanatorio Luís Silva en Guadalajara. En noviembre muere su madre María Vizcaíno Arias.

Museo de Zoologia, Facultad de Ciencias, Universidad Nacional Aut6noma de Mexico. Apdo. Postal 70-399, Mexico 04.510 D.F., MEXICO ABSTRACT. A survey of the butte rfli es of Colima, Mexico is presc nted , in which .543 species from 280 genera and 22 subfamilies of Papilionoidea and Hesperioidea are listed. Ove r 100 species are reported from Colima for the first time. This list was c reated by re­ viewing the past Lepidoptera literature, the major collections in the United States and Mexico with Mexican material, as well as by fieldwork at 10 sites carried o ut by the au­ thors. For each species, capture localities, adult Bight dates, and references for the data are provided. An analysis of our knowledge of Colima's butterBy Lmna is presented, and comparisons with equivalent faunal works on Jalisco and Michoacan are made . About 78% of the species known from Colima a re also known from Michoac!in, while about 88% of the species reported from Colima are also known from Jalisco. There are 31 species that have been reported from Colima but not fram Michoacan or Jalisco, and for most of these, we have no explanation for such an exclusive distribution, except the need for more field­ work in all three states. Only o ne species, Zohera alhopunctata, appears to be endemic to Colima.

Title: Slipping Into the Dark: Death as a Means of Discovery in Juan Rulfo’s Pedro Páramo and Marilynne Robinson’s Housekeeping Abstract approved: ______________________________________________________ Marjorie Sandor This thesis compares and contrasts Juan Rulfo’s Pedro Páramo and Marilynne Robinson’s Housekeeping to explore how Mexican and American cultures perceive death. By examining the thoughts and actions of the young protagonists through the lens of the uncanny, it becomes obvious that they are searching for a history that has been repressed by society. In Pedro Páramo, Juan Preciado learns to accept the ghosts who populate his hometown in order to understand his own repressed history. Ruth, the protagonist in Housekeeping, yearns to be closer to her deceased mother and escapes her repressed society by becoming a transient. Though their plots are similar, each book varies in the way that death is repressed and how the characters come to accept death. While culture dictates that these feelings of closeness towards the dead should remain hidden, the characters struggle to bring them into the open to challenge conceptions of a reality constructed by society.
