In the years following the Spanish Civil War, Carmen Laforet, Ana María Matute, Mercè Rodoreda, Esther Tusquets and others, published novels of female development that enriched the canon of the Spanish literature. The recent decades have witnessed the publication of a growing number of female formation novels by Lucía Etxebarría, Almudena Grandes, Rosa Montero, as well as many other leading female writers in Spain. This dissertation examines the silenced voice in women’s narrative fiction characterized by modules of the Bildungsroman and aided through cinematic representations. It provides an investigation of patterns in women’s narrative trajectory revolving around configurations of the novel of self-formation and theoretical perspectives on love and eroticism as seen in the novels Nada, El mismo mar de todos los veranos, Julia, Las edades de Lulú, Beatriz y los cuerpos celestes, Primera memoria and the film Elegy. Additionally, I question the interchangeability and reversibility of masculine and feminine traits as demonstrated in the novel Te trataré como a vi una reina and the films Carmen and Lucía y el sexo, proposing that these notions manifest a discord that subverts the hierarchy of hegemonic discourses. I also focus on exploring connections between women’s marginal standing and the overall sense of displacement and uneasiness that trickled into the Spanish Transition period as seen in the novels Cielo nocturno, La plaza del diamante and the film Las trece rosas. Ultimately, the texts and films I have chosen formulate evocations of this relationship in order to explore factual/fiction dividends of the novel of self-discovery. All works have a common divergent interest in the interplay between the attainment of the self that is aided through political or social conflict, while the others deal tangentially with relationships involving gender based perspectives in conjunction with desire and intimacy. vii Introduction It is in the nature of literature to bear witness to the passing of time and events, weaving memories to reveal intricate patterns of those recollections previously hidden among its strands. If it is our intention to give life to those memoirs, then we must call for an active reading in the present; allowing formative processes within a specific present to complete this progression in hopes of finding connections between a generation or time period. Raymond Williams, in Marxism and Literature declares: At different moments in history, and in significantly different ways, the reality and even the primacy of such presences and such processes, such diverse and yet specific actualities, have been powerfully asserted and reclaimed, as in practice of course they are all the time lived. But they are then often asserted as forms themselves, in contention with other known forms: the subjective as distinct from the objective; experience from belief; feeling from thought; the immediate from the general; the personal from the social. (129) The central contention of this study is to expose the silenced voice in women’s narrative fiction characterized by modules of the Bildungsroman and aided through cinematic representations. I have chosen interdisciplinary approaches that engage with and establish the context for the novels and films proper of this module. My study provides an investigation of women’s narrative trajectory revolving around configurations of the novel of formation. My intention is to examine the manifestation of this notion under a contemporary context linked with history of postwar Spain and fiction to adumbrate the parameters of this genre. I am inspired by women’s narrative voice in fiction in conjunction with socio-historical factors of the twentieth century with the hopes of encouraging a revalorization of it. 1 There is no question that the essence of life involves growth, which means change. The crystallization of the Bildungsroman and its trajectory have been widely acknowledged and accepted as an experience that is at its peak during adolescence. The Bildungsroman describes a genre of novels depicting the process of coming of age of a male protagonist in German literature of the eighteenth centuries; one that Leasa Lutes describes as being present: En la infancia y la niñez el ser concibe del mundo completamente como una extensión de su propia existencia, ésta siendo informada de un conjunto de ideas nacidas de lo real tanto como de lo ilusorio. El adolescente toma conciencia de las diferencias entre sí mismo y el Otro, entre la realidad y la ilusión,

  • ABSTRACT Male Characters in Nada (1945) and Entre Visillos (1958) Stephanie Alexandra Nix Vaughan, M.A. Mentor: Frieda H. Black
    ABSTRACT Male Characters in Nada (1945) and Entre visillos (1958) Stephanie Alexandra Nix Vaughan, M.A. Mentor: Frieda H. Blackwell, Ph.D. This study demonstrates how male characters in Nada (1945) and Entre visillos (1958), two twentieth-century novels written under Francisco Franco’s dictatorship, play a pivotal role in the development of two impressionable adolescent protagonists. While these protagonists have received the majority of scholarly attention, the male characters that function in a variety of roles such as mentor, close friend, father or other relative merit closer scrutiny. These men are more than subordinate characters. They function as foils for the protagonists by either helping or hindering in her efforts to mature by either limiting her agency through treating her from a patriarchal stance or encouraging her development through a more liberal, progressive treatment. Copyright © 2013 by Stephanie Alexandra Nix Vaughan All rights reserved TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter One: Introduction 1 A Brief Overview of Franco’s Spain and Two Novels that Survived the Censors Chapter Two: Men Represent More Than Nada 19 Chapter Three: Men entre Women in Entre visillos 36 Chapter Four: Conclusion 52 Then there were Three: the Traditional, the Bohemian and the Liberal Bibliography 64 iv ACKNOWLEDGMENTS My passion for Spanish language and culture was ignited in high school, and thus the first person I must acknowledge is Señora Croft, as without her enthusiasm and passion I would not have felt as inspired to study Spanish.

For as the botanist plucks one single flower from the endless abundance of the plant world and then analyses it so as to demonstrate to us the nature of the plant in general, so the poet selects a single scene, indeed sometimes no more than a single mood or sensation, from the endless confusion of ceaselessly active human life, in order to show us what the life and nature of man is.1 Pathology has always done us the service of making discernible by isolation and exaggeration conditions which would remain concealed in a normal state.2 Both Schopenhauer and Freud’s observations arise from their knowledge and experience of the phenomenon of singularity: the poet’s capacity to pursue a general truth through the particularity of language, and the therapist’s recognition of how the individual traits of a human psyche perpetually illuminate our understanding of human existence.

  • ABSTRACT Literary Critique of Female Identity Under Spain's
    ABSTRACT Literary Critique of Female Identity under Spain’s Francoist Dictatorship in Nada and Entre visillos Julia Castillo Director: Frieda Blackwell, Ph. D. Two works by female authors during the Francoist dictatorship in Spain––Nada, published in 1945, and Entre visillos, published in 1957––use double discourse to critique society through their expression of female identity. Carmen Laforet and Carmen Martín Gaite worked past censorship to articulate an alternate vision of female identity formation to the policies of the Francoist dictatorship which articulated a limited role for women. The framework offered by these books’ historical and literary contexts allows for a detailed analysis of each work individually. Andrea, the main character of Nada, discovers her identity during a tumultuous year with her family in Barcelona, its description shaped by the tremendismo literary movement. Entre visillos, published in the next decade, uses the technique of neorealismo to portray the lives of various young women and men in a provincial capital, with the character Natalia playing a critical role. As each book is an example of the bildüngsroman, identity formation is paramount. Nada and Entre visillos, through their different time periods and literary styles, present their female characters’ struggles to develop their own identities in a repressive society.

  • Thesis Submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
    WRITING IN FRANCO’S SPAIN: CENSORSHIP, GENDER AND SOCIAL CRITICISM IN THE POSTWAR NOVEL BY JULIA VAN LUIJK A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2014 Abstract Following the Nationalist victory in the Spanish Civil War (1936–39), General Francisco Franco’s authoritarian regime ruled Spain in a dictatorship that lasted almost forty years. In order to preserve the dominance of the regime and its ideology in Spain, all cultural activity was strictly censored, with censorship being particularly severe in the immediate postwar years. The regime’s censorship board, often with the involvement of Catholic clergy, had to approve all types of public communication, from poetry to television, before it could be published or broadcast. The censor was to ensure that the material in question was not critical of the regime or its ideology and that it did not challenge Catholic morals and traditional Spanish family values. Despite the regime’s efforts, however, writers who wished to convey their opposition to the dictatorship turned to a realist, objective narrative style that would allow them to denounce Francoist society without causing concern for the censors. In this thesis, I examine five Spanish postwar novels, published between 1945 and 1961, that provide a critique of Francoism and its associated values: Carmen Laforet’s Nada (1945), Luis Romero’s La noria (1952), Ignacio Aldecoa’s El fulgor y la sangre (1954), Juan García Hortelano’s Nuevas amistades (1959) and Dolores Medio’s Diario de una maestra (1961).

Marr Graduate Program Director Associate Professor of Spanish Dissertation Adviser Chair of Committee William R. Blue Professor of Spanish Maria Truglio Associate Professor of Italian Guadalupe Martí-Peña Senior Lecturer in Spanish Charlotte Houghton Associate Professor of Art History *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT Since the Early Modern period, artists have drawn, painted, and sculpted their way through the pages of Spanish literature. Seventeenth-century Spanish theater reveals both practical and aesthetic value for such characters; while authors, particularly playwrights, utilized artist characters for literary ends, they concurrently allied themselves with real artists fighting for greater social recognition for their work and allowed their artists characters to express those concerns on the page as well as on the stage. The development of the artist novel and the Künstlerroman (the novel of artistic development) in the nineteenth century reflected not only the achievement of social recognition sought by artists of prior generations, but also the development of the Romantic “charismatic myth of the artist,” which would go on to characterize general societal perception of artists (and their literary representations) for the next century. While the artist figure never disappears from Spanish literary production, the scholarly study of such figures wanes in current contemporary investigation.
