Signed: ______________________________ Eoin Barrett 5 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to sincerely thank my parents, Eve and Jimmy, for the love and support they have given so generously throughout what has been an arduous, lengthy and complicated journey. The belief they showed in me was far greater than that which I had in myself. I am very much relieved that their faith has been justified. I would like to thank my brothers, Michael and Rory, and Michael’s wife Susie, who have been a fantastic source of support and friendship, my aunts Ursula and Deirdre, my uncle John and aunt Kate and my cousins Bek, Katherine and Jo and their families, who have also been steadfast in their interest and encouragement. Ralph Waldo Emerson once said that a friend may well be reckoned the masterpiece of nature. In this regard I am surrounded by so many works of art that I am considering opening my own gallery. The catalogue for this exhibition would include Colin, Donal, Edmund, Edwin, Eoin, Eric, Fergus, Gonz, Kieran, Killian, Luke, Mick, Owen, Peter, Paddy, Rubén, Shane, Xan and Zalo. Thanks to Tony McCarthy, Paul Collins, Joyce and John Kerins, and Kieran and Mairead O’Shea. Special thanks also to Gail, Gawain, Peter, Grace and Auntie Kitty. And to Helen Keane for the coffee-maker! The support I have received from the staff of the Department of Hispanic Studies at UCC has been overwhelming. I am unequal to the task of expressing my gratitude for their help, guidance, friendship and good humour, and their limitless reserves of tolerance and understanding over the years. This spirit is exemplified and embodied by my inspirational supervisor, Professor Nuala Finnegan, who has taught me so much, not only through the supervision of my dissertation, but also by her example as a scholar and as a person. Nuala, you have my eternal gratitude and admiration. I could not have done this without you. Thank you so much. Thanks to Professor David Mackenzie for encouraging me to pursue doctoral studies in the department, and also Professor Terry O’Reilly and Dr Anne Walsh, who were always ready with a kind word. I am extremely grateful for the help I received from Dr Martín Veiga and Mr Stephen Boyd, who provided invaluable and timely assistance in orienting my project at a time when I had the gravest doubts as to its viability and direction. I would like to express my gratitude to Dr Helena Buffery for her understanding and encouragement since her arrival to UCC, and also to Kay Doyle and Sinead Watkins, who have always been so kind and helpful. I have enjoyed the friendship of many of my fellow scholars in Hispanic Studies at some extremely auspicious moments. I had the good fortune to make the acquaintance of Sarah Roger during my stay in Buenos Aires. At the Borges Postgraduate Colloquium in Oxford in 2009, I had the opportunity to share the company and the ideas of fellow Borgesians Mariana Casale O’Ryan, Eamon McCarthy, Ricki O’Rawe and Sarah Puello Alfonso, an experience that provided a vital stimulus to my research. I am extremely grateful for the friendship of Lorraine Kelly over so many years. Thank you especially for your constant encouragement, and for introducing me to a certain raven-haired Galwegian beauty. Elaine, I love and admire you completely. Thank you for believing in me and for all your help since we met. You are the measure of my dreams. 6 This thesis is dedicated to the memory of Seamus Coughlan, a great Corkman, a soldier, a gentleman and a gentle man, who gave regular tutorials on the themes of friendship, love and humour for the duration of our acquaintance. Seamus, boy, I give you ‘The Book of Kells’. 7 El género policial, como todos los géneros, vive de la continua y delicada infracción de sus leyes. Jorge Luis Borges1 1Jorge Luis Borges, Obras completas Vol. IV (Buenos Aires: Emecé, 2007. 5th edn.), p. 440. 8 Introduction Introduction There are three sections in this, my introductory chapter. Firstly, the objectives of my project are set out, and its scope is examined. The second section locates the project. Section three describes the reading method employed in this study, which effectively involves the creation of a conceptual reader of the Argentine detective story. Finally, in the concluding section, an overview of the dissertation is provided. Objectives and Scope of Project The crime genre has enjoyed a long and notable history in Argentina, dating from the publication of Luis V. Varela’s novel La huella del crimen in 1877 and continuing to the present day. In the words of Amelia Simpson, ‘The River Plate is the source of the earliest as well as the most detective fiction in Latin America. Nowhere else does the genre receive so much attention, nor do native works achieve such distinction’.2 The crime genre occupies a central place in the country’s literary tradition, and numbers among its enthusiasts and adherents some of the most illustrious and accomplished figures in Argentine letters. The pervasive, perhaps even oppressive, presence of the detective genre in this national context has been such that, according to Jorge Lafforgue, ‘Ningún otro género, como el policial, ha estructurado

  • BORGES's MEDIEVAL IBERIA by Maria Ruhlmann a Dissertation
    BORGES’S MEDIEVAL IBERIA by Maria Ruhlmann A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor in Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland March 1, 2017 © Maria Ruhlmann All Rights Reserved Abstract This dissertation examines how and why famed Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges conjures up images of Medieval Iberia in the vast majority of his anthologies of essays, poems and stories. Following an introduction to Borges’s attitude to the multiple and often contradictory appropriations of Medieval Iberia in the Spanish-speaking world of his day, it considers the philological and postcolonial implications of Borges’s references to al-Andalus and Sepharad. Relying on New Philology as defined by Karla Mallette and on postcolonial approaches to medievalisms of the postcolonial world, Borges’s Medieval Iberia offers a contribution to the mostly unchartered territory of critical approaches to the uses of medievalisms in twentieth- century Argentina.

    1 THE PARROT AND THE CANNON. JOURNALISM, LITERATURE AND POLITICS IN THE FORMATION OF LATIN AMERICAN IDENTITIES By Pablo L. Calvi Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Columbia University 2011 2 © 2011 Pablo Calvi All rights reserved 3 Abstract THE PARROT AND THE CANNON. JOURNALISM, LITERATURE AND POLITICS IN THE FORMATION OF LATIN AMERICAN IDENTITIES Pablo Calvi The Parrot and the Cannon. Journalism, Literature and Politics in the Formation of Latin American Identities explores the emergence of literary journalism in Latin America as a central aspect in the formation of national identities. Focusing on five periods in Latin American history from the post-colonial times until the 1960s, it follows the evolution of this narrative genre in parallel with the consolidation of professional journalism, the modern Latin American mass media and the formation of nation states. In the process, this dissertation also studies literary journalism as a genre, as a professional practice, and most importantly as a political instrument. By exploring the connections between journalism, literature and politics, this dissertation also illustrates the difference between the notions of factuality, reality and journalistic truth as conceived in Latin America and the United States, while describing the origins of Latin American militant journalism as a social-historical formation. i Table of Contents Introduction.

  • Crime, Media, and Politics in Neoliberal Times
    Asian Journal of Latin American Studies (2016) Vol. 29 No. 4: 25-53 Insecurity and Fear of Crime in Argentina: Crime, Media, and Politics in Neoliberal Times Pedro Cerruti*1 University of Buenos Aires, Argentina Cerruti, Pedro (2016), “Insecurity and Fear of Crime in Argentina: Crime, Media, and Politics in Neoliberal Times” ABSTRACT The emergence of a punitive approach to social insecurity as a response to the new social question produced by neoliberalism has been described as a global trend. Furthermore, it is a trend that characterizes the increasingly polarized and exclusionist post-industrial societies. In this article, I present a study of the development of these transformations in Argentina, in particular the cultural processes involved in the social construction of “insecurity” as a public problem. Two moments in recent Argentine history are considered: first, the hyperinflationary crisis period of 1989-1990 in which insecurity first emerged as a form of representation of the social consequences of the economic crisis; and, second, Carlos Menem’s second presidency between 1995 and 1999, during which the terminal crisis of neoliberalism occurred and insecurity first appeared as one of the main concerns of the public and as a key issue in political disputes, becoming a priority on the government agenda. Focusing specifically on the political and mass media discourses through which crime and violence were thematized as social problems in the public sphere, this paper analyses the articulation of a discursive formation within which social conflicts caused by the crises of the neoliberal reform were formed as criminal problems that required policing and repressive approaches in order to control them.

What are the main regulatory provisions and legislation relevant to corporate fraud? Criminal provisions The main law governing and punishing perpetrators of crimes related to corporate fraud is the Criminal Code of Argentina (Criminal Code), which applies to the entire country. The Criminal Code sets out the various crimes that carry considerable penalties for those who violate its provisions. Over the past three decades, various additional laws have also been enacted due to the emergence of "white collar" crimes and commitments assumed by Argentina under several international treaties. Civil liability Corporate or business fraud can also give rise to civil liability. Civil liability (unlike criminal liability) requires damage to a certain person to occur, and only that person (or their agent or successor) can bring a claim.

Hannah C. Franzki Abstract In the past thirty years, International Criminal Law (ICL) has established itself as an influential framework through which claims for justice in relation to the past can be mediated. This thesis offers a critique of the particular way in which ICL links history, law and justice. To this end, it contrasts a transitional justice perspective on trials in response to state crime, with one that looks at such trials as sites of competing politics of time. While the former focuses on the stabilisation of political authority, the later privileges its destabilisation.

  • Title Argentine Community Project Dates 1997-2001 Extent 18
    Title Argentine Community Project Dates 1997-2001 Extent 18 interviews (7 in Spanish) Repository Center for Oral and Public History California State University, Fullerton Project Abstract This study, conducted as part of a master's thesis, addresses the historical setting and cultural parameters of the Argentine community in the Los Angeles Basin, the San Fernando Valley, and Orange County. While every immigrant group to come to the United States has left its impact in one form or another as it adapted to the new country, the Argentine immigrant has generally blended unobtrusively into mainstream American society. These interviews explore the current social position of the Argentine immigrant in the greater Los Angeles area, the social contributions and difficulties encountered in an area that traditionally both encourages and hinders its Hispanic population, and the manner in which this group maintains its cultural integrity. The significance of the research is found in understanding not only how Argentines are perceived within the framework of the United States but also gives voice to individual histories.
