Images of Instability in the Literature of Viceregal Lima (1687-1797) IMAGES OF INSTABILITY IN THE LITERATURE OF VICEREGAL LIMA (1687-1797) John Samuel Krieg A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment for the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Romance Studies (Spanish) in the College of Arts and Sciences. Chapel Hill 2020 Approved by: Rosa Perelmuter Oswaldo Estrada Irene Gómez-Castellano Juan Carlos González Espitia Emil Keme © 2020 John Samuel Krieg ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT John Samuel Krieg: Images of Instability in the Literature of Viceregal Lima (1687-1797) (Under the direction of Rosa Perelmuter) Instability is a persistent theme in literary depictions of Lima, Peru, from throughout the long eighteenth century. The city’s geographical instability, marked by earthquakes that took place in 1687 and 1746, also affected social and economic structures of a viceregal society in flux. By focusing on three distinct forms of the theme of instability (seismic, caste hierarchy, and economic), I was able to bring together a literary corpus that spanned from 1687 to 1797 and included both works of poetry and prose, canonical and less-studied texts. This includes poetry by Juan del Valle y Caviedes (1649-1698), Pedro de Peralta Barnuevo (1663-1743), Friar Francisco del Castillo (1716-1770), and Esteban de Terralla y Landa (1750?-1805?); travel chronicles co-authored by Antonio de Ulloa (1716-1795) and Jorge Juan (1713-1773); the prose work El lazarillo de ciegos caminantes (1775), by Alonso Carrió de la Vandera (1716-1783); as well as epistolary correspondence penned by Spanish and Creole noblemen. While some of these works individually have received a fair amount of critical attention, the dissertation brings them together in a unique way that allows us to view how they portray the paradigm of instability (volatility, change, mobility) and compare them within their specific historical and literary context. In the three main chapters of the dissertation, I examine different forms of instability by focusing on how the period’s literature discussed earthquakes (Chapter 1), caste hierarchy iii (Chapter 2), and commerce (Chapter 3). These texts shed light on specific historical events, and also illustrate how repeated fluctuations in different areas of limeño society contributed to a general atmosphere of instability evident to authors throughout the eighteenth century. By examining several types of instability over the course of more than a century, I conclude that focusing on this theme provides a framework for analysis that brings to bear a wide range of topics relevant to eighteenth-century Spanish America: scientific inquiry and religious discourse at the dawn of the Enlightenment, discrimination against and forms of societal participation of men and women of African ancestry, urban development, social stagnation and mobility, as well as commercial activity and the exploitation of natural resources. iv To Chelsea and to the memory of Margaret and John Krieg. v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The number of people who have supported me throughout my years as a doctoral student is too large to be told here, but I will give it my best shot. First, a huge thank you to my dissertation director, Dr. Rosa Perelmuter, who worked with me throughout my entire graduate experience. As an instructor, you inspired my studies and, as a director, you helped guide this project from seed to completed project. Thank you so much for your support and the priority that you have given my work throughout the years. I am also very grateful to the other members of my dissertation committee: Drs. Oswaldo Estrada, Irene Gómez-Castellano, Juan Carlos González Espitia, and Emil Keme. Your teaching and scholarship have opened my eyes to new ideas and inspired my own work as a literary scholar. Thank you very much for your dedication and guidance. My fellow ROMS graduate students have been a constant source of encouragement, inspiration, motivation, and support. I hope that the department’s collegial atmosphere, which has helped me grow so much, will persist for many years. In particular, I would like to recognize some who (at the time of this writing) are currently in the graduate program: Bob, Che, Chloé, Jordan, Katie, Kelly, Maury, Paco, Parker, Sarah Booker, Sarah Blanton, Thomas (and Caleb!), and Toni. I must also recognize those who have preceded me in graduating: Adrienne, Ale, Alex, Angela (and Jason!), Carlos, Elena, Emiliano, Emily, Greg, Holly, Jonathan, Julie (my first friend in Chapel Hill!), Mari Carmen, Paco, Philip, Rhi, and Vinodh. In particular, thank you Maria for your friendship, sage advice, and delicious cooking. vi I must also thank Drs. Liz Bruno, Glynis Cowell, Tacia Kohl, Josefa Lindquist, and Bill Maisch. You all played immensely important roles in my development as a teacher and demonstrated that passion for teaching has no expiration date. Additionally, Dr. Alicia Rivero opened my eyes to new literature and her courses led to two publications. Logan, Nefi, and Shavon: thank you so much for your attention to detail, encouragement, clear communications, and willingness to put up with my endless questions. As with any scholar, I would be nothing without a library. The staff at UNC Libraries, especially Teresa Chapa and Claudia Funke, helped make this project a reality. I would never have applied to a graduate program without incredible teachers and mentors in college. The instructors at the University of Mary Washington helped cultivate my love of literature and the Spanish language. Thank you to Drs. Gardner Campbell and Mara Scanlon, who taught me how to close read poems, as well as Drs. Ana Chichester, Jessica Locke, and Shara Voisard, who opened my eyes to Latin American literature. Dr. Elizabeth Lewis has also been with me at every stage, from undergraduate to doctoral candidate. At Germanna Community College, Dr. Miguel Lechuga was my first Spanish teacher and organized the Spain trip that changed my life. Anne Lyons and Donna Alexander challenged me to grow, offered sage advice, and cheered my successes. This project has also been supported by numerous organizations. Thank you to UNC’s Graduate School, Institute for the Study of the Americas, and Medieval and Early Modern Studies Program, for supporting my participation in conferences and scholarship through the Dissertation Completion Fellowship, Summer Research Fellowship, Mellon Dissertation Completion Fellowship, Graduate Student Transportation Grant, Mellon Conference Travel Award, and MEMS Conference Travel Grant. Thank you also to the Ibero-American Society for vii Eighteenth Century Studies and the Society for Renaissance and Baroque Hispanic Poetry for your inspiration and support. Part of this dissertation is adapted from my article, “‘Parecía Lima errante, terrestre armada’: Earthquakes and Instability in Viceregal Lima (1687 and 1746),” published in Dieciocho 43.1 (2020). I would like to thank the publisher for granting permission to use this article in my dissertation. Thank you to the staffs at Duke Regional Hospital, UNC’s Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center (particularly Mary Dunn, Dr. Juneko Grilley-Olson, and Dr. Michael Woods), and UNC Student Health, without whose expertise and care I would not be here. Thank you to the boys from Fredericksburg who have been there the whole time: Andrew, Ian, Owen, and Tim. Thank you to my parents, Susan and Fred. You were my first teachers and you have modeled love, dedication, faith, humility, hard work, curiosity, and how to have fun throughout my life. Thank you to my brother, Peter, for your friendship and being my concert partner. Thank you to Keith, Denise, and Rachel, for accepting me into your family and always being there when it has mattered the most. Thank you to my daughter, River, whose smile lights up my life and who has helped me see the world in a whole new way. Most of all, thank you to my incredible wife, Chelsea, to whom this dissertation is dedicated. You have been with me since I took the first step on this journey, and your support has never wavered. So much life has happened during my time in this program—you have been there to help me celebrate awards and recover from chemotherapy; we backpacked 500 miles viii together and we saw our child take her first steps. You open my eyes to so many things, help me keep perspective, and bring out the best in me. I truly am the luckiest. ix TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION………………………………………………………….………….………….1 CHAPTER 1: EARTHQUAKES AND INSTABILITY...………………………………………19 I.

  • The Politics of Bulls and Bullfights in Contemporary Spain
    SOCIAL THOUGHT & COMMENTARY Torophies and Torphobes: The Politics of Bulls and Bullfights in Contemporary Spain Stanley Brandes University of California, Berkeley Abstract Although the bullfight as a public spectacle extends throughout southwestern Europe and much of Latin America, it attains greatest political, cultural, and symbolic salience in Spain. Yet within Spain today, the bullfight has come under serious attack, from at least three sources: (1) Catalan nationalists, (2) Spaniards who identify with the new Europe, and (3) increasingly vocal animal rights advocates. This article explores the current debate—cultural, political, and ethical—on bulls and bullfighting within the Spanish state, and explores the sources of recent controversy on this issue. [Keywords: Spain, bullfighting, Catalonia, animal rights, public spectacle, nationalism, European Union] 779 Torophies and Torphobes: The Politics of Bulls and Bullfights in Contemporary Spain s is well known, the bullfight as a public spectacle extends through- A out southwestern Europe (e.g., Campbell 1932, Colomb and Thorel 2005, Saumade 1994), particularly southern France, Portugal, and Spain. It is in Spain alone, however, that this custom has attained notable polit- ical, cultural, and symbolic salience. For many Spaniards, the bull is a quasi-sacred creature (Pérez Álvarez 2004), the bullfight a display of exceptional artistry. Tourists consider bullfights virtually synonymous with Spain and flock to these events as a source of exotic entertainment. My impression, in fact, is that bullfighting is even more closely associated with Spanish national identity than baseball is to that of the United States. Garry Marvin puts the matter well when he writes that the cultur- al significance of the bullfight is “suggested by its general popular image as something quintessentially Spanish, by the considerable attention paid to it within Spain, and because of its status as an elaborate and spectacu- lar ritual drama which is staged as an essential part of many important celebrations” (Marvin 1988:xv).

  • Picasso and Dalí, Double Portrait in the Bullring of Art by PILAR PARCERISAS
    Picasso and Dalí, double portrait in the bullring of art By PILAR PARCERISAS Dalí’s relationship with Picasso is ambivalent and complex. On one hand, it is rooted in the admiration of Dalí towards the master, which starts after his visit to Picasso’s Parisi- an atelier in 1926. From that moment onwards, and up until 1970, when their relation- ship has completely dissolved, Dalí writes him letters and postcards, to which he never replies. However, Picasso did help Dalí pay for the costs of his trip to New York in 1934, for which Dalí always showed his gratitude publicly. But after the Spanish Civil War and the tragic ending of the Second World War with the nuclear bomb in 1945, Dalí wants to take a new artistic course. He starts measuring himself against Picasso: he sets out on an ideological confrontation, as well as an aes- thetical rivalry with him, which is aimed at finally becoming the master’s successor in the History of Art. In his lectures of the time, Dalí delivers diatribes against him, while he asks for a return to Raphael’s classicism in the nuclear age. This opens a new period in Dalí’s work, a sort of ‘nuclear mysticism’, where the atomic age and Spanish Catholi- cism merge into the significant work Mystical Manifesto (1951). The political context has changed. The Cold War determines the relations between Eu- rope, United States and the Soviet Union. The aesthetic of abstraction rules in the US while, in Europe, it’s all about informalism; so, on both sides of the Atlantic, the aesthet- ics are hegemonic.

  • The Competition Law Review
    ISSN 1745-638X (Online) THE COMPETITION LAW REVIEW Volume 11 Issue 1 pp 61-81 July 2015 Entertainment made in Spain: competition in the bullfighting industry Francisco Marcos* Controversial for many reasons, bullfighting is probably one of the most typical entertainment activities in Spain. Bullfights are an idiosyncratic spectacle belonging to the Spanish cultural tradition, but which has also a meaningful economic significance. This article will look at the role of market forces and competition in the bullfighting business, describing the peculiarities of its organization and looking at the many anti-competitive features that characterize it. Spanish local authorities are strongly involved in the organization of bullfights and strict and detailed public rules govern the intervening actors and the performance during the shows. Thus, the institutional framework of bullfighting heavily constrains competition conditions in the industry, setting the scenario for a limited role of market forces. Furthermore, history shows that the collective organization of different players involved (promoters, breeders, bullfighters and subordinates) in order to exert their market power has occasionally led to anti-competitive actions and reactions. Thus, unsurprisingly, the Spanish Competition authorities have dealt with some anti-competitive behaviour by some of the players participating in the bullfighting industry. INTRODUCTION Despite being very contentious for many reasons, related primarily to the respect of animal rights, bullfighting keeps being

A bullfight is an event in which a bullfighter on foot or on horseback challenges a numbers of bulls (one each time) in a enclosed area built for this purpose; it’s Corrida de Toros. La Corrida is performed by a TORERO (bullfighter) called bullring or arena who is on foot. All the bullfighters are TOREROS but not all the toreros are “Matador de Toros” or “Diestro”. Matador is a category acquired in a ceremony Bullfighting may be divided into three different kinds, depending on the Torero’s experience, the size of the bull and the use of horses : called “Alternativa”. From this moment onwards he can fight with the red cape and the sword. Each Matador has his own team called cuadrilla which includes 6 members: 2 lancers, 3 flagmen and 1 sword servant. Not all the bulls can fight in this kind of corrida, they must weigh at least 460 kg and be 4 years old (the bull fight regulation allows bulls between 4 and 6 years old).
