“Ella Pelea En Mí Y Vence En Mí”: Dulcinea, Ideal Amoroso Del Caballero De La Voluntad
“Ella pelea en mí y vence en mí”: Dulcinea, ideal amoroso del Caballero de la Voluntad CARLOS MATA INDURÁIN* ulcinea es un personaje complejo, cuyo análisis puede ser abordado –así D lo ha hecho la crítica– desde muy diversas perspectivas: se puede anali- zar su figura como componente de la materia amorosa, que forma junto con la materia caballeresca y la literaria los tres grandes núcleos temáticos del Quijote; se puede estudiar su función estructural (Dulcinea al servicio de la narración: pienso especialmente en todo lo relacionado con su encantamien- to y su desencantamiento en la Segunda Parte); se puede poner en relación con el estatus de la locura de don Quijote y la evolución de su carácter en las dos Partes, y con la problemática relación que se establece en la novela entre realidad y ficción, o entre apariencia y realidad; en este sentido, Dulcinea es también un factor determinante en la relación entre el caballero y su escude- ro Sancho Panza; la dualidad Dulcinea-Aldonza brinda abundantes momen- tos para la comicidad y la parodia, en pasajes que permiten la conformación de un mundo carnavalesco; se puede abordar el estudio de Dulcinea desde el psicoanálisis y la sexualidad1, etc., etc. Además, debemos partir del hecho fundamental de que Dulcinea es un personaje que no existe, que es la creación de una creación: Dulcinea es una invención de don Quijote de la Mancha, que a su vez es una invención de Alonso Quijano (que, a su vez, es una invención de Cervantes).

From the wide spectrum of possibilities the dissertation privileges multimedia and cybernetic theatrical practices. The study is based on the analysis of twenty-one theatrical productions from Spain, Chile and U.S. Latinos’ within their national as well as international theatrical and historical context. The pieces include staged productions by well-known theatrical groups, new avant-garde groups, street theatre and a religious festival. The aim of this diversity is to demonstrate that multimedia and cybernetic theatrical practices are transnational and transcultural. In this study the main topic of discussion is the use of multimedia and digital techniques as a means of theatrical and performative communication. -

Las Transformaciones De Aldonza Lorenzo
Lemir 14 (2010): 205-215 ISSN: 1579-735X ISSN: Las transformaciones de Aldonza Lorenzo Mario M. González Universidade de São Paulo RESUMEN: Aldonza Lorenzo aparece en el Quijote tan solo como la base real en que se apoya la creación de la dama del caballero andante, Dulcinea del Toboso, a partir del pasado enamoramiento del hidalgo por la labradora. No obstante, permanece en la novela como una referencia tanto para don Quijote como para su escudero. Para el caballero, lo que permite esa aproximación es la hermosura y la honestidad de una y otra, exacta- mente los atributos que Sancho Panza niega radicalmente en Aldonza para crear lo que puede llamarse una «antidulcinea». A la obsesión de don Quijote por desencantar a Dulcinea, parecería subyacer la de salvar la hermosura y honestidad de Aldonza Lorenzo. De hecho, cuando todos los elementos de la realidad son paulatinamente recuperados por el caballero en su vuelta a la cordura, la única excepción es Aldonza Lo- renzo, de quien Alonso Quijano sugestivamente nada dice antes de morir. ABSTRACT: Aldonza Lorenzo appears in Cervantes’s Don Quixote merely as the source that gave birth to the knight- errant’s imagined ladylove Dulcinea del Toboso ever since the Hidalgo fell in love with the farm girl in the past. However, Aldonza Lorenzo remains a reference to Don Quixote and his squire Sancho Panza throughout the novel. For the knight, beauty and honesty aproximate both girls, the real and the imagi- nary, while his squire denies those virtues in Aldonza creating what can be defined as an «anti-dulcinea». -
Is There a Hidden Jewish Meaning in Don Quixote?
From: Cervantes: Bulletin of the Cervantes Society of America , 24.1 (2004): 173-88. Copyright © 2004, The Cervantes Society of America. Is There a Hidden Jewish Meaning in Don Quixote? MICHAEL MCGAHA t will probably never be possible to prove that Cervantes was a cristiano nuevo, but the circumstantial evidence seems compelling. The Instrucción written by Fernán Díaz de Toledo in the mid-fifteenth century lists the Cervantes family as among the many noble clans in Spain that were of converso origin (Roth 95). The involvement of Miguel’s an- cestors in the cloth business, and his own father Rodrigo’s profes- sion of barber-surgeon—both businesses that in Spain were al- most exclusively in the hand of Jews and conversos—are highly suggestive; his grandfather’s itinerant career as licenciado is so as well (Eisenberg and Sliwa). As Américo Castro often pointed out, if Cervantes were not a cristiano nuevo, it is hard to explain the marginalization he suffered throughout his life (34). He was not rewarded for his courageous service to the Spanish crown as a soldier or for his exemplary behavior during his captivity in Al- giers. Two applications for jobs in the New World—in 1582 and in 1590—were denied. Even his patron the Count of Lemos turn- 173 174 MICHAEL MCGAHA Cervantes ed down his request for a secretarial appointment in the Viceroy- alty of Naples.1 For me, however, the most convincing evidence of Cervantes’ converso background is the attitudes he displays in his work. I find it unbelievable that anyone other than a cristiano nuevo could have written the “Entremés del retablo de las maravi- llas,” for example. -
Span-300: Cervantes' Don Quixote
SPAN-300: CERVANTES' DON QUIXOTE Lecture 21 - Don Quixote, Part II: Chapters LIV-LXX [November 17, 2009] Chapter 1. Improvisation, International Dimension and Influence of Art on Reality [00:00:00] Professor Roberto González Echevarría: There are three issues that I want to bring up as I begin today's lecture that will determine my general themes today: improvisation, the international dimension that the fiction of the novel acquires, and the influence of art or of literature on reality; those are the general topics. As we move to the conclusion of the Quixote, the issue of how to bring the novel to a close must have loomed large in Cervantes' mind. The plot of the novel is repetitive, more than sequential, with a vague quest of the protagonist to revive the age of chivalry, concretely, to participate in the jousts in Saragossa as goals, but there is no obvious or impending goal to the characters' wonderings. Although, one could argue, with Williamson, the critic I mentioned in the last lecture, that the disenchantment of Dulcinea is the main purpose of Don Quixote and Sancho set by Merlin's prophecy and involving the three thousand lashes that Sancho must apply to his bottom, and the interplay between the two about accomplishing that goal of disenchanting Dulcinea. Yet, even, this is no clear mission whose accomplishment would bring the novel to an end. What if Dulcinea is disenchanted? How could she be disenchanted? What would that mean? Would she and Don Quixote, then, marry? This is not mentioned by the protagonist, nor is marriage normally a desired end to courtly love. -

The Universal Quixote: Appropriations of a Literary Icon
THE UNIVERSAL QUIXOTE: APPROPRIATIONS OF A LITERARY ICON A Dissertation by MARK DAVID MCGRAW Submitted to the Office of Graduate Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Eduardo Urbina Committee Members, Paul Christensen Juan Carlos Galdo Janet McCann Stephen Miller Head of Department, Steven Oberhelman August 2013 Major Subject: Hispanic Studies Copyright 2013 Mark David McGraw ABSTRACT First functioning as image based text and then as a widely illustrated book, the impact of the literary figure Don Quixote outgrew his textual limits to gain near- universal recognition as a cultural icon. Compared to the relatively small number of readers who have actually read both extensive volumes of Cervantes´ novel, an overwhelming percentage of people worldwide can identify an image of Don Quixote, especially if he is paired with his squire, Sancho Panza, and know something about the basic premise of the story. The problem that drives this paper is to determine how this Spanish 17th century literary character was able to gain near-univeral iconic recognizability. The methods used to research this phenomenon were to examine the character´s literary beginnings and iconization through translation and adaptation, film, textual and popular iconography, as well commercial, nationalist, revolutionary and institutional appropriations and determine what factors made him so useful for appropriation. The research concludes that the literary figure of Don Quixote has proven to be exceptionally receptive to readers´ appropriative requirements due to his paradoxical nature. The Quixote’s “cuerdo loco” or “wise fool” inherits paradoxy from Erasmus of Rotterdam’s In Praise of Folly. -

This paper seeks, like Don Quixote, to convince you to suspend Vyour practiced views of everyday relationships in order to see them in a new light. What seems crazy at first glance may come to look as good, and sometimes better, than the more conventional view. As a law pro- fessor, I usually write about love and contracts by focusing on legal opinions and statutes, and recently I have added real-life stories from books and newspapers, as well as my friends, family, colleagues, and students.1 But if I am right that love and contracts often complement instead of oppose each other, then my argument that contracts shape the beginning, middle, and demise of love relationships ought to hold true in fiction as well, especially for the jump-off-the-page characters and situations in Don Quixote. -
James Mabbe's Translation of the Exemplarie Novells (1640)
Maybe Exemplary? James Mabbe’s Translation of the Exemplarie Novells (1640) Alexander Samson University College London ervantes’s influence on seventeenth-century European prose fiction was unique and exemplary. His writing was a catalyst, perhaps even paradigmatic, in the formation of the republic of letters itself. After publication, his stories were taken up, both within Cand beyond Spain, with unprecedented rapidity for works of vernacular prose fiction. In his homeland, at least twenty adaptations of his works appeared before 1680, including adaptations of two of the stories from the Novelas ejemplares (1613) by his rival Lope de Vega, as plots for his plays La ilustre fregona (Parte XXIV, 1641) and El mayor imposible (Parte XXV, 1647, based on El celoso extremeño). A French translation of the Novelas ejemplares came out within a year of its publication in Spain,1 and there were a further eight editions of this translation before 1700. The popularity of Cervantine material in France can be gauged equally from there being no fewer than twenty-three stage adaptations of his work during the same period.2 In England, the case of John Fletcher typifies how rich a vein writers found in Cervantes’s prose: roughly a quar- ter of Fletcher’s extant output of just over fifty plays was based on Cervantine prose originals, 1 Les nouvelles, trans. François de Rosset and Vital d’Audiguier (Paris: Jean Richer, 1615), with an additional story by Sieur de Bellan. Vital d’Audiguier was also the translator of El peregrino en su patria into French. 2 -
Fiction Excerpt 2: from the Adventures of Don Quixote
Fiction Excerpt 2: From The Adventures of Don Quixote (retold with excerpts from the novel by Miguel de Cervantes) Once upon a time, in a village in La Mancha, there lived a lean, thin-faced old gentleman whose favorite pastime was to read books about knights in armor. He loved to read about their daring exploits, strange adventures, bold rescues of damsels in distress, and intense devotion to their ladies. In fact, he became so caught up in the subject of chivalry that he neglected every other interest and even sold many acres of good farmland so that he might buy all the books he could get on the subject. He would lie awake at night, absorbed in every detail of these fantastic adventures. He would often engage in arguments with the village priest or the barber over who was the greatest knight of all time. Was it Amadis of Gaul or Palmerin of England? Or was it perhaps the Knight of the Sun? As time went on, the old gentleman crammed his head so full of these stories and lost so much sleep from reading through the night that he lost his wits completely. He began to believe that all the fantastic and romantic tales he read about enchantments, challenges, battles, wounds, and wooings were true histories. At last he fell into the strangest fancy that any madman has ever had: he resolved to become himself a knight errant, to travel through the world with horse and armor in search of adventures. First he got out some rust-eaten armor that had belonged to his ancestors, then cleaned and repaired it as best he could.
