  • New Approaches Toward Recent Gay Chicano Authors and Their Audience
    Selling a Feeling: New Approaches Toward Recent Gay Chicano Authors and Their Audience Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Douglas Paul William Bush, M.A. Graduate Program in Spanish and Portuguese The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Ignacio Corona, Advisor Frederick Luis Aldama Fernando Unzueta Copyright by Douglas Paul William Bush 2013 Abstract Gay Chicano authors have been criticized for not forming the same type of strong literary identity and community as their Chicana feminist counterparts, a counterpublic that has given voice not only to themselves as authors, but also to countless readers who see themselves reflected in their texts. One of the strengths of the Chicana feminist movement is that they have not only produced their own works, but have made sense of them as well, creating a female-to-female tradition that was previously lacking. Instead of merely reiterating that gay Chicano authors have not formed this community and common identity, this dissertation instead turns the conversation toward the reader. Specifically, I move from how authors make sense of their texts and form community, to how readers may make sense of texts, and finally, to how readers form community. I limit this conversation to three authors in particular—Alex Espinoza, Rigoberto González, and Manuel Muñoz— whom I label the second generation of gay Chicano writers. In González, I combine the cognitive study of empathy and sympathy to examine how he constructs affective planes that pull the reader into feeling for and with the characters that he draws.

  • Transnational Female Identity and Literary Narratives Between Italy and Eastern Europe
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Cartographies of Estrangement: Transnational Female Identity and Literary Narratives between Italy and Eastern Europe A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Italian by Renata Redford 2016 © Copyright by Renata Redford 2016 ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Cartographies of Estrangement: Transnational Female Identity and Literary Narratives between Italy and Eastern Europe by Renata Redford Doctor of Philosophy in Italian University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Lucia Re, Chair This dissertation investigates a vital body of women’s writing in Italian about the estranging effects of migration in order to emphasize the articulation of a literary discourse that undermines conventional depictions of the Eastern European female migrant. I provide evidence of the emergence in their work of a distinctly transnational approach to literary writing (narrative in particular), founded on a creative way of addressing questions of estrangement, the body, and memory. I consider the work of three authors, who have yet to be fully acknowledged in the Italian literary landscape: the Italophone writers Jarmila Očkayová (1955-present; Italo- Slovakian) and Ingrid Beatrice Coman (1971-present; Italo-Romanian living in Malta), and Marisa Madieri (1938-1996; Italo-Hungarian from Istria), whose native language was Italian. My analysis focuses on the stylistic, thematic, and structural elements that Očkayová, Coman and Madieri employ to engage with and

  • Icelandair Media Kit Welcome Aboard Icelandair!
    ICELANDAIR MEDIA KIT WELCOME ABOARD ICELANDAIR! Icelandair is a transatlantic airline with decades of experience under its belt. Iceland’s unique position in the middle of the Atlantic makes it the ideal hub for an extensive flight network linking Europe and North America, and passengers can enjoy a stopover in Iceland at no additional airfare. Since the 1960s, Icelandair has encouraged passengers to enjoy a stopover and now there’s more choice and variety than ever before, with the service available on all transatlantic routes from 24 European destinations to 22 North American gateways (including latest additions San Francisco, Kansas City, Cleveland, Dallas and Baltimore). The airline, which celebrated its 80-year anniversary in 2017, continues to grow by expanding and renewing its fleet, highlighted in April 2018 when the airline received the first of 16 new Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. ENJOY ICELAND BEFORE YOU STEP OFF THE PLANE Flying with Icelandair provides passengers with an introduction to the country, plus Icelandic culture and food. Our goal is that you enjoy the journey as much as the destination. n Hours of entertainment on board: from the latest movie releases to multichannel stereo music, including a strong Icelandic offering. n A taste of Iceland: local delicacies on board. n All of Icelandair’s planes are named after Icelandic volcanoes and spots of natural beauty. Three of the airline’s fleet have specially painted liveries. ‘Þingvellir’ is named after one of Iceland’s national parks and was introduced in June 2018 to celebrate 100 years of Icelandic sovereignty. ‘Hekla Aurora’ and ‘Vatnajökull’ were introduced in 2015 and 2017 respectively; their liveries are inspired by the northern lights and Europe’s second largest glacier.
