  • Dangerously Free: Outlaws and Nation-Making in Literature of the Indian Territory
    DANGEROUSLY FREE: OUTLAWS AND NATION-MAKING IN LITERATURE OF THE INDIAN TERRITORY by Jenna Hunnef A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of English University of Toronto © Copyright by Jenna Hunnef 2016 Dangerously Free: Outlaws and Nation-Making in Literature of the Indian Territory Jenna Hunnef Doctor of Philosophy Department of English University of Toronto 2016 Abstract In this dissertation, I examine how literary representations of outlaws and outlawry have contributed to the shaping of national identity in the United States. I analyze a series of texts set in the former Indian Territory (now part of the state of Oklahoma) for traces of what I call “outlaw rhetorics,” that is, the political expression in literature of marginalized realities and competing visions of nationhood. Outlaw rhetorics elicit new ways to think the nation differently—to imagine the nation otherwise; as such, I demonstrate that outlaw narratives are as capable of challenging the nation’s claims to territorial or imaginative title as they are of asserting them. Borrowing from Abenaki scholar Lisa Brooks’s definition of “nation” as “the multifaceted, lived experience of families who gather in particular places,” this dissertation draws an analogous relationship between outlaws and domestic spaces wherein they are both considered simultaneously exempt from and constitutive of civic life. In the same way that the outlaw’s alternately celebrated and marginal status endows him or her with the power to support and eschew the stories a nation tells about itself, so the liminality and centrality of domestic life have proven effective as a means of consolidating and dissenting from the status quo of the nation-state.

The routes from the old Kingdom of Asturias were the first to take the pilgrims to Santiago. The coastal route was as busy as the other, older pilgrims’ ways long before the Spanish monarchs proclaimed the French Way to be the ideal route, and provided a link for the Christian kingdoms in the North of the Iberian Peninsula. This endorsement of the French Way did not, however, bring about the decline of the Asturian and Galician pilgrimage routes, as the stretch of the route from León to Oviedo enjoyed even greater popularity from the late 11th century onwards. The Northern Route is not a local coastal road for the sole use of the Asturians living along the Alfonso II the Chaste. shoreline. This medieval route gave rise to an Liber Testamenctorum (s. XII). internationally renowned current, directing Oviedo Cathedral archives pilgrims towards the sanctuaries of Oviedo and Santiago de Compostela, perhaps not as well- travelled as the the French Way, but certainly bustling with activity until the 18th century.

  • San Martiño De Mondoñedo / 1235 San Martiño De Mondoñedo
    SAN MARTIÑO DE MONDOÑEDO / 1235 SAN MARTIÑO DE MONDOÑEDO La iglesia de San Martiño de Mondoñedo se encuentra en medio de un pintoresco paisaje de la brumosa y lluviosa Galicia cantábrica. Está situada en la comarca de la Mariña Lucense, a tan solo 5 km de Foz, municipio al que pertenece la parroquia de San Martín. La mejor ruta para llegar es a través de la A-8 o autovía del Cantábrico, ya sea procedentes de Baamonde y Vilalba, o de Riba- deo y Luarca, donde tomaremos el desvío señalizado de Foz (N-642) y, antes de entrar en la villa, nos desviaremos por una carretera local (LU-152) que nos conducirá hasta el ábside de la iglesia. Se trata de uno de los conjuntos más singulares del arte medieval gallego, en el que se mezcla de manera indisociable la realidad con la leyenda. Aunque la iglesia se la conoce popularmente co- mo “la catedral más antigua de España”, este resulta un término exagerado, ya que el edificio actual no es anterior a finales del siglo XI, si bien reaprovecha muchos elementos de la fábrica del siglo X. Como es bien sabido, sus orígenes están ligados a la traslación, por parte de Alfonso III, en el año 866, de la antigua sede de Dumio (Portugal) a este lugar, conocido como Mondoñedo de Foz (Mendunieto, Mondumeto o Monte Dumetum). Allí se instaló su primer obispo, Sabarico I (866-877), hui- do de Portugal, que dedicó a San Martín de Dumio la nueva iglesia y la dotó supuestamente con una reliquia traída desde la antigua sede (FLÓREZ, H., 1974, XVII, pp.

  • Hispanic Heritage Month by Jane Runyon
    Name Date Hispanic Heritage Month By Jane Runyon What does it mean to be Hispanic? Does it have to do with the color of a person's skin? Does it have to do with the place where they live? Just who are Hispanic people? The answers to these questions are varied. The word Hispanic has to do with the culture of a people. Hispanic culture takes in more than 20 countries and nationalities. It started with the Spanish who came from Europe in the 1500's. It now includes people of Aztec, Mayan, and Mexican ancestry. Every ten years the United States counts its citizens. This count is called a census. Not only does this census count the people, it also places them into different groups according to their ethnic background. There are white/Caucasians, African-Americans, and Hispanics to name a few. Hispanics are divided into groups by ancestry. There are Indo-Hispanics, Afro-Hispanics, Cuban-Americans, and Mexican-Americans. Those ethnic groups can also be broken down into other groups. Hispanic is a term used by Cubans, Puerto Ricans, and people from other Caribbean islands. They are descended from the Spanish. Latinos trace their families to Central America and South America. Chicanos are people of Mexican ancestry. Today, many of them call themselves Mexican-Americans. Hispanos are descended from the conquistadors who traveled to the southwest part of the United States. It doesn't matter the color of the skin. It doesn't matter where they live. If part of their heritage came from the Spanish, they are Hispanic.

Today, more than 55 million people—almost one-fifth of the U.S. population—are Hispanic, two-thirds of whom are of Mexican origin.1 Latinos in the United States are reaching new heights in educational attain- ment, making significant economic gains, and dramatically changing the political landscape. Within the next two decades, these developments will have profound implications for the United States, Mexico, and the rest of the Americas. As the nature of the Latino diaspora populations has changed, so have the per- spectives in their countries of origin.

  • Analyzing the Use and Function of Mock Spanish in the Picturebook Collection Skippyjon Jones
    MASTER IN ENGLISH LINGUISTICS FACULTY OF ENGLISH PHILOLOGY UNIVERSIDAD COMPLUTENSE DE MADRID, SPAIN Analyzing the Use and Function of Mock Spanish in the Picturebook Collection Skippyjon Jones MASTER DISSERTATION Presented by: Alicia Juncos Zori Supervisor: Dr. María Ángeles Martínez Martínez Date: September 2013 i Resumen en Español Las lenguas en contacto entre poblaciones hispanas y americanas han sido notables desde la segunda mitad del siglo dieciocho. La lengua española se convirtió en la más significativa después del inglés, debido al tratado de Guadalupe Hidalgo (1848), en el que Méjico cedería más de la mitad de su territorio, que comprende la totalidad de lo que hoy son los estados de California, Nevada, Utah, Nuevo México y Texas, y parte de los estados de Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas y Oklahoma. Hoy en día la cultura y lengua hispana sigue teniendo una gran influencia sobre los Estados Unidos, principalmente debido a la inmigración y al número elevado de comunidades hispanas que residen en los Estado Unidos. Estos factores también se han reflejado en la lengua inglesa con la incorporación de préstamos provenientes del español. En la segunda mitad del siglo veinte, hubo una expansión de términos españoles jocosos asociados con la vagancia, la falta de seriedad y la vulgaridad. Desde 1980 hasta los 90 esta forma de uso del español era muy habitual en todo tipo de medios de comunicación con el fin de construir un ambiente cómico y humorístico. Pero en muchos de los casos este uso del español estaba asignando estereotipos negativos a las comunidades hispanas. Esta nueva tipología del español ha sido denominado por Jane Hill (1993a, 1995, 2008) como Mock Spanish o “Español Jocoso”.

  • Genealogía De Los Andrade (1100-1300)
    andrade_catedra25 19/12/2018 11:39 Página 221 GENEALOGÍA DE LOS ANDRADE (1100-1300) José Luis Lamigueiro Desde los últimos años se ha producido en España, el fenómeno de la digitaliza- ción de los fondos de los principales, y distintos archivos públicos y privados, lo que ha facilitado enormemente el acceso a la información, antiguamente dispersa en multitud de archivos de carácter local, provincial, y autonómico; la mayoría de las veces en el pasado cerrados a cal y canto a la curiosidad del investigador. Este nuevo panorama actual, se podría definir para nuestra historia local como revolucionario, ya que el fácil acceso a tra- vés de Internet a los cartularios medievales de los antiguos monasterios de estas tierras: Caaveiro, Monfero, Xuvia, Sobrado, y Montefaro; a los fondos de la Real Audiencia y Chancillería de Valladolid, a su sección de pergaminos, al Archivo de Indias, y un largo etc.; ha permitido multiplicar tanto la gestión del tiempo, como el acceso y lectura, de la información histórica conservada y custodiada en los miles, sino millones de documentos ahora de sencilla y cómoda consulta; experiencia que se suma como no, a la inevitable y necesaria visita presencial. En Galicia, la plausible aparición de proyectos como: Gali- ciana–Arquivo Dixital de Galicia, se ha sumado a esta nueva corriente de conocimiento global, de forma que el investigador puede consultar documentos hasta ahora solo cono- cidos a través de regestos, en nuestros archivos públicos: Reino de Galicia, Real Acade- mia Galega, o de fundaciones que custodian extraordinarios fondos medievales como la Penzol; contrastando y poniendo al día, todo lo hasta ahora averiguado y sabido.
