Ochoa Associate Professor of Spanish and Comparative Literature Dissertation Advisor Chair of Committee Nicolás Fernández-Medina Assistant Professor of Spanish Guadalupe Martí-Peña Assistant Professor of Spanish Stephen Wheeler Associate Professor of Classics Chip Gerfen Professor of Spanish Linguistics Head of the Department of Spanish, Italian and Portuguese *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iv ABSTRACT My dissertation focuses on the second generation of novels of the Mexican Revolution, and on the related debate concerning the death of the revolutionary ideals of freedom, justice, and land reform. Some were pronounced dead after the 1940s. Through the analysis of 4 novels of the “segunda novela de la Revolución;” namely Before the Storm (1947) by Agustín Yáñez, Pedro Páramo (1955) by Juan Rulfo, The Death of Artemio Cruz (1962) by Carlos Fuentes, and Recollections of Things to Come (1963) by Elena Garro, I aim to answer the following question: not whether there was still some life that could be prophesized after the death of the Revolution, but rather if there had actually been life before that apparent death. Theoretically, to address the stagnant death prevalent in Mexico, I start from a detail left unarticulated by Joseph Sommers in After the Storm: Landmarks of the Modern Mexican Novel (1968). In this landmark work, Sommers pointed out that the second novels of the Revolution after Before the Storm of 1947, introduce psychological depth and “themes of love.” In relation to the latter, I argue that they shed light on the secular, rhetorical discourse of the ruling P.R.I. (which, predictably, was not going to acknowledge the death of the Revolution). In 1942, President Manuel Avila Camacho gave a speech defending love as a necessary tool for the national construction. From all the above, I bring up the first and main issue organizing my project, a fundamental dynamic which began in the 1940s: the un-discussable death of the Revolution and its goals could be addressed mostly literarily, and indirectly, as a stagnant death; that is, in terms of past, present, and future frustrations of love. This dynamic is v markedly different from the one of the “first generation” of the novelas de la revolución, and raises the second main issue I explore: how far can this sublimation of the death of the Revolution extend sustainably? Critically informed by Frantz Fanon and Michel Foucault, the “segunda novela de la Revolución,” featuring these “themes of (frustrated) love,” comprises the core of my dissertation to elucidate Mexican neocolonialism and the latest defense of love in 1942 by the declining P.R.I. “before” the death of the Mexican Revolution. This situation ultimately addresses the theme of lifelessness in the cultural discourse beginning not only in the 1940s, but mainly in the overall history of Mexico, marked by the circular return of violence and the triumph of Evil that prevents the materialization of a “new man.” “Al filo del agua (1947) de Agustín Yáñez o las estrategias de supervivencia de la Revolución Mexicana.” This chapter is a good arena to explore all the above: what kind of life or love was there anytime and anywhere in Mexico, traditionally characterized by what the nineteenth-century historian José María Luis Mora Lamadrid called “esprit de corps.” Yáñez’s novel addresses not the defense of love, but rather the danger of its impossibility that ultimately leads to violence and hysteria. Relying on Frantz Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth (1963), I study the desperation of the Ancient Regime to hold on to (neo)colonial power by imposing fears and myths, which ultimately magnifies the irrational libido of the “natives.” The end of the novel portrays the declining “settlers” facing their own fears or myth and, by extension, their own failure of the libido. This type of self-consciousness finally brings some melancholic peace to the main character of the novel: the priest Don Dionisio. vi Curiously enough, Yañez found inspiration for this first novel in Gabriel Faure´s Requiem, which I use as the thematic thread in my dissertation to articulate my thesis on this contradictory calm or death before/overlapping with the lack of Freedom and the death of the Revolution after 1940s. “Pedro Páramo (1955) de Juan Rulfoo más valer no haber nacido.” Rulfo’s novel continues addressing this sublimated death by exploring the cultural memory of Mexico’s “caudillos.” In Pedro Páramo, it is marked by a futile search for love, which in turn is linked to death. Here, I return to Avila Camacho’s defense of love as part of the political sway to the right during his presidency, which was characterized by the rapprochement of left-leaning Mexico towards the United States in the capitalistic sphere, especially in the context of the Second World War. In this chapter, I invoke as a thematic touchstone a Hollywood movie of the 1940s: Frank Capra’s It’s a Wonderful Life (1946). This film, featuring George Bailey’s recovery of the memory of his life and loves thanks to Divine Providence, results in a reaffirmation and love of the community. This stands in diametrical contrast to Juan Preciado in Pedro Páramo, who also engages in a return to memory, but in his case this leads to impossible love, Evil, and death. “La muerte de Artemio Cruz (1962) de Carlos Fuentes o laa memoria del deseo (in)satisfecho.” Here I explore what Fuentes called “the death of life,” which runs parallel to “the life of death” of his novella “Aura,” published the same year. Relying on Foucault’s History of Sexuality I (1976), I approach this novel as a deathbed confession. Via this triple-voiced declaration of guilt, the character of Artemio Cruz finally discovers and begins to admit that his life and his identity (and by extension Mexico’s) were determined by exactly the same oppressive powers that (t)he(y) opposed from an early vii age. To articulate this position, I rely on careful close readings of the dates given in the sections narrated in third person. There is a hidden correspondence, I argue, between the events set in 1903 and those of 1503 during the Spanish Conquest, with overall implications for the history of Mexico. “Los recuerdos del porvenir (1963) de Elena Garro o mírame antes de quedar convertida en piedra.” In the last chapter I also emphasize the second issue of my dissertation, regarding how far the sublimation of the death of the Revolution can extend sustainably. Particularly, I explore the historical reach of this sublimation: how far does it go into the past, marked by identity-building confessional practices? Here I rely on Elena Garro’s novel, set during the “revuelta cristera,” as the final awareness of two warring sides trapped in a historical continuum of violence, repression, alienation, and “otherness.” Ultimately, the characters of Garro’s novel find out that they cannot dispose of the libido or their overall status as colonized subjects in search for self-recognition through love. viii TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS……………………………………………………………..…ix Introduction………………………………………………………………………………..1 Chapter 1 Al filo del agua (1947) de Agustín Yáñez o las estrategias de supervivencia de la Revolucón Mexicana en el “lugar del Arzobispado”….…………………..…..46 Chapter 2 Pedro Páramo (1955) de Juan Rulfo o más vale no haber nacido…....…...….73 Chapter 3 La muerte de Artemio Cruz (1962) de Carlos Fuentes o la memoria del deseo (in)satisfecho…………………………………………………………………....101 Chapter 4 Los recuerdos del porvenir (1963) de Elena Garro o ¡Mírame antes de quedar convertida en piedra!........................................................................................…135 Conclusion……………………………………………………………………………...167 Works Cited…………………………………………………………………………….173 ix ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS En lo que respecta al apartado familiar de mis agradecimientos, la totalidad de este trabajo, y cualquier futuro que le depare, no hubiera sido posible sin el apoyo de mis padres y hermanos, a veces hasta ayudando con el inevitable silencio y la distancia que supone vivir en otro país. Esta tesis doctoral no se hubiera hecho realidad sin la ayuda de todos los que todavía quedan al otro lado del “charco.” A este punto de mi vida regresa no menos el recuerdo de quien ya no está o se quedó en el camino. Rememoro aquí a mi abuela Margarita, una señora que apenas tuvo tiempo de disfrutar de su pensión tras jubilarse, tan merecida después de una vida dura de trabajo, especialmente tras perder a su marido una vez concluida la Guerra Civil Española. Como ella siempre me decía hasta que se murió, cuando yo contaba con 13 años, “a tu abuelo lo mataron las trincheras, y los reumas que dejaban posteriormente a muchos soldados como él.” En éstas nació mi adorada madre, que nunca conoció a su “papá,” o al menos no le dio tiempo en sus primeros 14 meses de vida. De mi abuela Margarita, la mujer que me dedicó horas incansables, recibí una férrea pero no menos útil disciplina. En conjunto, sigo agradeciéndole can días todo lo que depositó en mí, incluso alguna que otra “regañina” a causa de mis incansables travesuras. Mientras el tiempo sigue transcurriendo y recuerdo algunas de aquellas “travesuras,” elegí desde hace ya algún tiempo el camino de la literatura, no menos disciplinario, y quién sabe si hasta peligrosamente “accidental” como le sucede al personaje de "El sur" de Jorge Luis Borges.

  • The Ghosts of Comala: Haunted Meaning in Pedro Páramo an Introduction to Juan Rulfo’S Pedro Paramo by Danny J
    The Ghosts of Comala: Haunted Meaning in Pedro Páramo An introduction to Juan Rulfo’s Pedro Paramo by Danny J. Anderson “How do we reckon with what modern history has rendered ghostly?" —Avery F. Gordon, Ghostly Matters: Haunting and the Sociological lmagination "I don't know. I see things and people where you may not see anything." —The character Juan Preciado in Juan Rulfo's Pedro Páramo During my college years, Pedro Páramo was the first Spanish-language novel that fully captured my attention. It haunted my thinking, a reaction comparable in intensity to my discovery of Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights as an adolescent reader. Only partially grasping the nuances of words and styles in a language I was still learning, I became obsessed with understanding Pedro Páramo. It fascinated me to the extent that I decided to become a scholar of Latin American literature. Decades later, after analyzing it for graduate seminars, discussing it in conference papers, and teaching it to generations of students, the novel still holds that same hallucinatory power for me. The powerful effect of Pedro Páramo has its source in the use of enigmas that involve readers in the process of understanding the complex relationship between past and present in early twentieth-century Mexico. The novel transports readers to a ghost town on the desert plains in Mexico, and there it weaves together tales of passion, loss, and revenge. The village of Comala is populated by the wandering souls of former inhabitants, individuals not yet pure enough to enter heaven. Like the character Juan Preciado, who travels to Comala and suddenly finds himself confused, as readers we are not sure about what we see, hear, or understand.

    Convenit Internacional 17 jan-abr 2015 Cemoroc-Feusp / IJI - Univ. do Porto The Start of the 20th Century: Mexico as Metaphor of Latin America Areli González1 California State University-Fullerton Resumen: Este artículo explora la identidad utópica de México en 1920, por medio de la reproducción de arte, de dos escritores mexicanos, Octavio Paz y Juan Rulfo. Se argumenta en este ensayo que México es el vocero de América Latina en términos políticos, movimientos sociales, y económicos. Lo que sucedería en México durante los años de 1920 es la creación de una nación utópica que más adelante se transformaría en la experiencia de América Latina; y por medio de esta creación ilusoria de un lugar perfecto se refleja en el arte las discrepancias de esta creación. Muestra al lector una visión de México y su utopía. Palabras Clave: México; utopía; arte; Juan Rulfo; Octavio Paz. Abstract: This article explores the utopian identity of Mexico in the 1920s through the reproduction of the arts by Octavio Paz and Juan Rulfo. It is argued that Mexico is the spokesperson of Latin America in terms of politics, social movements, and economy. What happened in Mexico during the 1920s as the creation of a utopic nation was later experienced in other Latin American countries in years to come. Through this creation of a fanciful, perfect place, the artwork reflects the discrepancies of the same, and shows to the viewer that Mexico was and still is a utopia.

Ha hecho de todo: fué mensajero y dibujante, peón en una fábrica de insecticidas, cobrador, taquígrafo, cajero de banco, diagramador, editor y peregrino por los ca- minos de América. En su ciudad natal fué colaborador y posteriormente redactor jefe (1960 - 1964) del semanario «Marcha» y director del diario «Época». En Buenos Aires, Argentina, fundó y dirigió la revista «Crisis». Estuvo exiliado en Argentina y España desde 1973; a principios de 1985 regresó al Uruguay; desde entonces reside en Montevideo. Ha escrito varios libros, entre ellos Las venas abiertas de América Latina (1971), Vagamundo (1973), La canción de nosotros (1975), Días y noches de amor y de guerra (1978) y los tres tomos de Memoria del fuego: Los nacimientos (1982), Las caras y las máscaras (1984) y El siglo del viento (1986). El libro de los abrazos apareció en 1989. En 1993, Las palabras andantes, [1995] El fútbol a sol y som- bra; [1995] Las aventuras de los dioses; [1998] Patas arriba. La escuela del mundo al revés. También publicó recopilaciones de artículos y ensayos: [1989] Nosotros decimos no; [1992] Ser como ellos; [1994] Úselo y tírelo. En dos ocasiones, en 1975 y 1978, Galeano obtuvo el premio Casa de las Américas.
