Hispanic Literature Tools, Techniques & Resources for Conducting Critical Research Hispanic Literature Tools, Techniques & Resources for Conducting Critical Research Tools for Locating Primary & Secondary Sources Books, Plays, Poetry: BearCat (Baylor Library collections) Teatro Español de Siglo de Oro – contains the full text of the most important dramatic works of sixteenth and seventeenth century Spain. WorldCat (when you need to find everything an author wrote, even if we don’t own a copy of it at Baylor) Periodical Articles/Books Written by and About Your Author (when applicable): MLA International Bibliography – covers all languages and literatures; searchable by author, time period, literary style or genre, title of work, etc. (indexes materials in English and Spanish) Essay and General Literature Index – lists articles published in books (as opposed to periodicals) and other collections of essays (English language materials only) ClasePeriodica – lists articles in Latin American publications in the humanities, social sciences and sciences (Spanish and Portuguese language materials). Fuente Academica – covers articles in scholarly journals from Spanish and Latin American publishers; covers a broad number of disciplines including literature. Latin American Newsstand – indexes and provides full-text copy of Spanish and Portuguese language newspapers from Latin America. Periodicals Index Online – broad subject coverage in the humanities, social sciences, and arts across more than 300 years of published work. Techniques for Successful Searching 1. Remember to distinguish between looking for your author as an author (what he wrote) and as a subject (what is written about her and her works, life, interests, and influences) . If you divide these into two separate searches your work will usually go a bit faster. This is true for searching both BearCat and any of the periodical indices/databases listed above. 2. Search for people using the “Last name, First name” format. 3. Any subject is likely to have an encyclopedia and a dictionary relevant to your work so search in keyword index for the term you want with the word “encyclopedia” (Spanish authors Eileen Bentsen, Baylor University Libraries, Rev. 02/13/2007 encyclopedia). The same is true of the terms “history and criticism,” “bibliography,” and biography (Spanish American literature history and criticism). 4. For poetry you will rarely find an explication or critical article on a single poem; instead find out what collection(s) of poetry the poem appears in and search for criticism on the whole collection. To find the collection of poetry in which an individual poem appears, use the bibliography in a reference source such as Latin American Authors listed below. 5. To limit the number of results you get to a more effective and manageable number, search in the Keyword index using author’s last name and the name of the novel, play, poem, etc. (or a few keywords). A search for articles in the MLA Bibliography on honor in Lorca’s play <<Blood Wedding>> would look like this: Find: Lorca TX All Text in and Blood Wedding TX All Text in and honor TX All Text in in MLA International Bibliography Database List N.B.: all of these terms are in the TX field so that these terms appear anywhere in the article or the article record. 6. MOST IMPORTANTLY: if you keep coming up with either nothing pertinent or too much info, please come speak with me or one of the other Reference Librarians, we can help you reduce your frustration. 7. EVEN MORE IMPORTANT: START YOUR RESEARCH NOW!!!!!!!! General Literature Resources: Dictionary of Literary Biography, Contemporary Literary Criticism, and Contemporary Authors are resources of criticism and biographical information which are available in print and electronically. Electronically, they are grouped under the heading Gale Literary Databases. Contemporary Literary Criticism (CLC) covers only living authors (at the time the volume was published). Twentieth Century Literary Criticism (TCLC) and Nineteenth Century Literary Criticism (NCLC) are more focused collections of excerpts from critical articles in books and journals limited to the periods indicated by their titles. Poetry Criticism (PC) and Short Story Criticism (SSC) also excerpt critical reviews for poetry and short stories in the same manner as CLC, TCLC, and NCLC do. Hawthorn, Jeremy. A Glossary of Contemporary Literary Theory. 4th ed. New York: Arnold, 2000. An essential resource because of its clear writing & comprehensive coverage. Consider using the linked subject headings for any of these books to create your own “essential” resources list. You can use RefWorks to manage your resource list (see the RefWorks Workbook or one of the Reference Librarians or Reference Assistants at the Jones Reference Desk for help in learning or using RefWorks).

  • Essays on Golden Age Spanish Literature for Geoffrey L. Stagg in Honor of His Eighty-Fifth Birthday
    21.2 (2001) Reviews 227 Ingeniosa Invención: Essays on Golden Age Spanish Literature for Geoffrey L. Stagg in Honor of his Eighty-fifth Birthday. Ed. Ellen Anderson and Amy Williamsen. Newark, DE: Juan de la Cuesta, 1999. xx + 258 pp. ISBN: 0-936388-83-8. Geoffrey L. Stagg is duly honored in this latest addition to the handsome “homenajes” series published by Juan de la Cuesta. The collection of essays edited by Ellen M. Anderson an d Amy R. Williamsen contains some truly excellent contributions to Golden Age studies across the board. As most readers of this journal probably know, Stagg’s research focuses on the Cervantine œuvre, and he served as an Associate Editor for Cervantes since the journal’s inception until the date of publication of this Festschrift in celebra- tion of his eighty-fifth birthday. However, the editors’ introduction makes quite clear the fact that Stagg is nothing less than a Renaissance man—trained in both arms and letters—and this diversity is reflected through the fine selection of scholars and articles that make up this academic accolade. In addition to sketching Stagg’s academic career in their introduction to this homage, the editors also bring to light the human touch of this humani- tarian. His diplomatic manner with his students, his very special relationship with his wife, and the couple’s generous dinner parties with colleagues and students all paint an intimate portrait that gives a sense of wholeness to this academic tribute. The volume itself is divided into fou r sections. The first section, titled “Comparative Contexts,” contains three essays that “contribute to the under- standing of Spanish Renaissance and Baroque works in the light of the classi- cal letters and the Elizabethan literature Stagg knows and loves so well” (xvii).

  • Multiperspectivism in the Novels of the Spanish Civil War Hans Lauge Hansen, Aarhus University
    Orbis Litterarum 66:2 148–166, 2011 Printed in Malaysia. All rights reserved Multiperspectivism in the Novels of the Spanish Civil War Hans Lauge Hansen, Aarhus University Since the turn of the millennium, Spanish society has been engaged with an intense public and political debate about the Civil War and the post-war period. The number of publications has exploded within all genres, and narrative fiction clearly participates in the negotiation of the cultural memory of this period. Taking its point of departure in Todorov’s concept of restorative narratives, this article investigates whether contemporary Spanish novels continue a Manichaean division between ‘us’ and ‘them’, and whether it is possible to detect a difference in narrative patterns before and after the turn of the millennium. Keywords: cultural memory, Spanish Civil War, restorative narrative, multi- perspectivism, Spain. Since the turn of the millennium, Spain has witnessed a renewed public and political debate about Spain’s history in the twentieth century which has focused particularly on the memory of the Civil War of 1936–1939 and the immediate post-war period. The number of publications dedicated to this issue has exploded, not only in historiographic discourse, but within all genres, including novels, biography and autobiography.1 Through dialogue with other social discourses, narrative fiction clearly participates in the construction of the cultural memory of a given society. But what is the nature of this involvement? This article engages this question by examining the change in narrative perspective in the contemporary Spanish novel and by discussing the possible cultural and social impact of this change.

  • The Gospel, According to Lazarillo: Parodia Sacra & Picaresque
    To Hell with Christ!—the Gospel, According to Lazarillo: Parodia Sacra & Picaresque Signifying on the Novel as Genre Andrew R. Belton A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of English & Comparative Literature. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Dr. Jessica Wolfe Dr. James Thompson Dr. Beverly Taylor ©2009 Andrew R. Belton ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Andrew R. Belton: To Hell with Christ!—the Gospel, According to Lazarillo: Parodia Sacra & Picaresque Signifying on the Novel as Genre (Under the direction of Jessica Lynn Wolfe) This thesis looks at an anonymously-authored work of early modern Spanish prose fiction, namely La vida de Lazarillo de Tormes, y de sus fortunas y adversidades (The Life of Lazarillo de Tormes: his Fortunes and Misfortunes). It makes the argument that Lazarillo, as a progenitor-text for the picaresque and novelistic traditions, initiates the use of intertextual signifying and the play of the parodic as an imaginative practice that will come to define twentieth century notions of the novel as a generic form with identifiable techniques. Major portions of this essay read parody as it functions within the text, both thematically and structurally; applying Bakhtinian notions of parodia sacra to discuss methodology, form and the construction of meaning within the work. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Throughout my work on this thesis, a number of people have been dedicated to providing support for its completion. I wish to thank several of these persons for their availability, feedback, and confidence in seeing this project to its close.

  • Sufis, Kabbalists and Christian Philosophers in Medieval Spain
    New York Open Center and Lapis Magazine Online Present Sufis, Kabbalists and Christian Philosophers In Medieval Spain Granada, September 15th to 20th, 2007 Co-sponsored with The Ibn ‘Arabi Society, Centro Abierto Tomillo, The Lumen Foundation www.EsotericQuest.org Joinndalusia, orus Al-Andalus on, developed a an extraordinary Quest … culture of religious tolerance in medieval Spain that produced works of enduring spiritual and artistic genius. Today, when the world seems to teeter on the edge of major religious conflict, this enlightened period when Muslims, Jews and Christians lived in relative Aamity serves as a powerful reminder of the achievements of co-existence or ‘conviviencia’. This was the time when the Zohar, the seminal kabbalistic work, was compiled by Moses de Leon. It was also the period of Ibn ‘Arabi, the Sheik Al-Akbar, the greatest of Sufi teachers, while further north in Majorca the Christian philosopher, Ramon Llull, developed a form of wisdom that drew from the deepest esoteric teachings of all three cultures. Join us on a quest for the beauty and spiritual philosophy of this largely forgotten age, a time when the magical city of Cordoba contained a library of scores of thousands of books while the largest collection elsewhere in Europe had no more than 400. The Islamic culture that conquered Spain went on to translate the works of the ancient Greek philosophers and was familiar with the secrets of alchemy. In this vibrant world, Kabbalists intermingled with Sufis, and streams of wisdom flowed into Spain from both the far East and the North. This sixth in the Open Center’s series of conferences on the Western Esoteric Tradition will take place in Granada, the evocative and beautiful city lying below the snowy Sierra Nevada that, alone on the Iberian Peninsula, remained under Muslim control until the fateful year of 1492.

  • Transatlantic Study Abroad Program in Europe Alcalá De Henares (Madrid), Spain
    Transatlantic Study Abroad Program in Europe Alcalá de Henares (Madrid), Spain The Consortium for Transatlantic Studies and Scholarships The mission of the Consortium for Transatlantic Studies and Scholarship (CTSS) seeks to encourage and promote a transatlantic perspective by providing faculty and students with a unique multicultural environment in order to aid their personal, professional, and academic development. Furthermore, we encourage collaboration within the consortium and among the member institutions in the area of academics, research, sharing of resources, and development of new programs, at all levels of the college/university: student, faculty, and administration. To that end, the CTSS has established a Study Abroad Program in Alcalá, Spain, which is held during the Fall and Spring Semesters. An annual Conference--open to faculty and students alike--is held every two years as a way to promote research, dialogue, and discussion among "scholars from across the world and from across the arts, humanities, and social sciences, [on] the nature and changing traits of Global Challenges through the lens of the transatlantic perspective. Program objectives To promote the knowledge and understanding of the historical, cultural, political, economic and social relations of both sides of the Atlantic Ocean by offering a diversity of courses suited for students with different interests, which will contribute to develop ideas, discussion and debate on subjects important to the transatlantic community. Block courses are taught in English. Develop students´ intercultural skills through different activities outside the classroom and cultural visits, in order to build up their attitudes, beliefs, communication styles and cultural competencies. Allow students to participate in other activities: volunteering, sports, service learning, internships, field trips.

  • TRANSLATION and LITERATURES in SPAIN, 20032012 Mario
    TRANSLATION AND LITERATURES IN SPAIN, 2003­2012 Mario Santana The University of Chicago Recibido: 24 julio 2015 Aceptado: 19 septiembre 2015 2015 Over the course of the last two decades, the rise of Iberian Studies within the US academy has forced a reconceptualization of monolithic (and monolingual) understandings of national literatures that were (and still are) one of the hallmarks of Hispanism and other institutionalized disciplinary fields of cultural scholarship. One of the most obvious effects of this shift has been the vindication of previously marginalized languages and cultures as objects of inquiry, and the need to articulate epistemological models and practices that bring to light both their particular trajectories and the complexities of their coexistence and interaction. In this context, the success of Iberian Studies as a productive epistemological model will depend on the the formulation and implementation of theoretically­informed practices that would open new venues for the expansion of the material and disciplinary archives, which in turn may facilitate the discovery and articulation of new critical problems that the previous paradigm did not identify as such.(1) In this essay, I would like to focus on one of the areas in need of further exploration —the role of translation in the constitution of national literatures and, in particular, in the dynamics of interliterary relations within the Iberian Peninsula. It is fair to say that the study of translation has remained in large part disassociated from the historical

When the Bubble Bursts: A Spatial Interrogation of Spanish Crisis in José Ángel Mañas’ Sospecha Abstract José Ángel Mañas’s detective novel Sospecha investigates the consequences of the 2008 economic crisis by focusing on the unsustainable development of the Madrid urban area. I argue that the novel’s depiction of the Spanish capital serves as a case study for coming to terms with the identity and effects of crisis. By employing elements of the police procedural, Sospecha creates multiple trajectories through these suburban communities, allowing the novel to trace the impacts of a globalized economic model that presents these spaces as products of consumption.

  • The Lost Genre of Medieval Spanish Literature
    THE LOST GENRE OF MEDIEVAL SPANISH LITERATURE Hispanists have frequent occasion to refer to the loss of much medieval literatura, and to recognize that the extant texts are not necessarily typical. There is no Hispanic equivalent of R. M. Wilson's The Lost Literatura of Medieval England1, but a similar, though less extensive, work could undoubtedly be compiled for Spanish, and Ramón Menéndez Pidal showed us how evidence for the contení, and sometimes the actual words, of lost epics could be discovered by cióse attention to chronicles and ballads. The study of literature which no longer survives has obvious dangers, and the concentration of Hispanists on lost epic and lost drama has oc- casionally gone further than the evidence justifies, leading to detailed accounts of poems or traditions, which, in all probability, never existed: for example, the supposed epic on King Rodrigo and the fall of Spain to the Moors, and the allegedly flourishing tradition of Castilian drama between the Auto de los reyes magos and Gómez Manrique. Nevertheless, many lost works can be clearly identified and set within the pattern of literary history. The study of lost literature can produce important modifications in that pattern, but changes of equal importance may result from a reassessment of extant works. There is a growing realization that medieval literature has been very unevenly studied, and the contrast between widespread interest in a few works and almost universal neglect of many others is especially acute in Spanish2. I propose to deal here with a particularly striking example of that neglect, which has been carried to the point where the existence of an important genre is overlooked.
