A project that began with its roots firmly planted in Spain’s illustrious Siglo de Oro has found a home in its dynamic Generación del ’98. Without Professor Navajas’s extensive help and excellent advice, I could have never made that journey. Mil gracias. I would like to thank my committee members, Professor Juan Villegas and Assistant Professor Santiago Morales-Rivera, whose generous encouragement, support, and conversations helped move this project along. I cannot thank Professor Villegas enough for the opportunity he offered me to work alongside him with Gestos and am indebted to Professor Morales-Rivera for his encouragement and careful guidance. In addition, a heartfelt thank you to Professors Dale Pratt and Valerie Hegstrom,

  • Refashioning the Sociopolitical in Spanish Modernist Literature (1902-1914)
    Refashioning the Sociopolitical in Spanish Modernist Literature (1902-1914) By Ricardo Lopez A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Romance Languages and Literatures and the Designated Emphasis in Critical Theory in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Dru Dougherty, Chair Professor Ivonne del Valle Professor Robert Kaufman Fall 2015 Abstract Refashioning the Sociopolitical in Spanish Modernist Literature (1902-1914) by Ricardo Lopez Doctor of Philosophy in Romance Languages and Literatures with a Designated Emphasis in Critical Theory University of California, Berkeley Professor Dru Dougherty, Chair In this dissertation I argue that the modernist breakthroughs achieved by José Martínez Ruiz’s La voluntad (1902), Ramón del Valle-Inclán’s Sonata de otoño (1902), and Miguel de Unamuno’s Niebla (1914) emerged as a response to the shortsightedness of the revolutionary politics that had taken root in Restoration Spain. I examine how these writers take the historical materials of their sociopolitical world—its tropes and uses of language—and reconstellate them as artworks in which the familiar becomes estranged and reveals truths that have been obscured by the ideological myopia of Spain’s radicalized intellectuals. Accordingly, I demonstrate that the tropes, language, and images that constitute La voluntad, Niebla, and Sonata de otoño have within them a historical sediment that turns these seemingly apolitical works into an “afterimage” of Spain’s sociopolitical reality. Thus I show how sociopolitical critiques materialize out of the dialectic between historical materials and their artistic handling. Although La voluntad, Sonata de otoño, and Niebla seem to eschew political themes, I contend that they are the product of their authors’ keen understanding of the politics of their moment.

  • THE FUNCTION of the CHILD in NOVELS by GALDÓS by Michael
    REALIST STRATEGIES: THE FUNCTION OF THE CHILD IN NOVELS BY GALDÓS by Michael Adam Carroll BA, College of the Holy Cross, 2007 MA, University of Colorado at Boulder, 2010 A thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Colorado in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Spanish and Portuguese 2014 This thesis entitled: Realist Strategies: The Function of the Child in Novels by Galdós written by Michael Adam Carroll has been approved for the Department of Spanish and Portuguese ____________________________ Dr. Ricardo Landeira ____________________________ Dr. Javier Krauel Date______________ The final copy of this thesis has been examined by the signatories, and we Find that both the content and the form meet acceptable presentation standards Of scholarly work in the above mentioned discipline. iii Carroll, Michael Adam (Ph.D., Spanish Literature, Department of Spanish and Portuguese) Realist Strategies: The Function of the Child in Novels by Galdós Thesis directed by Professor Ricardo Landeira This dissertation explores the function of the child in the Novelas españolas contemporáneas (1881-97) by Benito Pérez Galdós, Spain’s foremost nineteenth-century author. Children play a central role in the genre of realism, from Charles Dickens, to Emily Brönte, and Henry James. Galdós follows in this tradition, but sets his work apart by placing the child at the margin of the stories he tells, rather than as protagonists. While critics have tended to view these marginalized children as either verifications of social issues contemporary to the novelist or as symbols that underscore themes, this dissertation analyzes children by considering how they socially affect adults and how characters perceive them.

  • Helena Araújo, El Devenir Afuera: De La Colonia Al Exilio, De La Confesión a La Auto-Ficción
    Sánchez 1 Helena Araújo, el devenir afuera: de la Colonia al exilio, de la confesión a la auto-ficción A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School Of the University of Cincinnati In partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy In the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures Of the McMicken College of Arts and Sciences By María Clemencia Sánchez B.A., Education and Languages Universidad de Antioquia, Colombia, 1995 M.A., Hispanic Literature University of Cincinnati, 2008 Committee Chair: Dr. Armando Romero Sánchez 2 Abstract Divided into three chapters, my Ph.D. Dissertation, entitled “Helena Araújo, el devenir afuera: de la Colonia al exilio, de la confesión a la auto-ficción,” examines how Araújo’s work is organized around the spatial-temporal discontinuity provoked by the exile of the feminine character. Using Gilles Deleuze’s concept of ‘rhizome’, this dissertation seeks to demonstrate how the feminine character could become-other on the condition that she changes territory by moving from the Colony to the exile. The first chapter is a revision of the symbolic formation of the Colony drawn as a territory of control in a corpus of literary women’s works in Colombia from 18th to 20th centuries. The goal of this revision is to illustrate the symmetry between the confessional narrative modes and the controlling structure of the Colony. The second chapter defines and analyzes the first movement of Araújo’s work: from the Colony to the exile. In this chapter I seek to demonstrate how the exile’s distance changes the representation of a same place.

    THE ROLE OF LITERARY TRADITION IN THE NOVELISTIG TRAJECTORY OF EMILIA PARDO BAZAN DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By ARTHUR ALAN CHANDLER, B.

Her position in the world of belles lettres has always been partially obscured by the question of Naturalism in Spain. Yet anyone who has read three or four repre­ sentative novels from her entire literary output realizes that Naturalism is not a dominating feature throughout.

In such films, work represents an important site of tension, not only in the wider struggle in Spain between tradition and modernity, but also in the context of the nation’s changing economic landscape in the late- Francoist period, which saw capitalist reforms, the development of the tourism industry, and the rise of consumer culture. In the context of late Francoism, particularly, with the advent of capitalist reforms, film directors and screenwriters of the 1970s utilized formulaic plots with work-related narrative conflicts as a convenient means to explore the consequences and effects of Spain’s timid economic and social liberalization.

  • ISHR Program with Abstracts
    LOBBY LEVEL MEZZANINE I MEZZANINE II Table of Contents WELCOME 1 WELCOME 2 BOARD OF DIRECTORS 6 CONFERENCE PROGRAM Welcome, ISHR members, to New Orleans, one of America’s premier vacation desti- 25 ABSTRACTS nations and site of our 22nd biennial conference. Over the next three days you will have the opportunity to hear first-class papers on all aspects of the history of rhetoric, meet old friends and colleagues, greet exciting new scholars, and, of course, sample the pleasures of New Orleans, a city like no other in the United States. New Orleans was founded as a French colonial military outpost and became a city in 1718. There are almost no existing structures that were built before the 1790s, unfortuna- tely, because the town kept burning down. Louisiana was ceded to Spain in 1762, although it remained French-speaking outside of the royal and church officials. Napoleon regained Louisiana but quickly sold it to the United States in 1803. It then became a state in 1812. New Orleans grew into one of the great port cities of the world in the nineteenth century, with large influxes of immigrants from Haiti, Italy, Germany, Hungary, and especially Ireland. The French language was replaced in New Orleans by English during the first half of the nineteenth century, although “Cajun” French is still spoken in some of the rural and coas- tal parishes, to the south of New Orleans. Slavery was also part of Louisiana’s history almost from the beginning. The struggle of people of African descent to achieve equality has had many set-backs after the end of slavery, but African-Americans have contributed dispropor- tionately to New Orleans’ unique character, especially with the development of jazz.
