Pratt Dean of the Graduate School Original approval signatures are on file with the University of Oregon Graduate School. Degree awarded June 2017 ii © 2017 Valeria Del Barco iii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Valeria Del Barco Doctor of Philosophy Department of Romance Languages June 2017 Title: Diálogos Transoceánicos Coloniales: Poética Criolla en Negociación My dissertation focuses on the poetic production of three criollas —the offspring of Spaniards in the Americas— in dialogic relation with prominent male writers across the Atlantic. The works studied, Clarinda’s Discurso en loor de la Poesía (1608); Epístola a Belardo (1621) by Amarilis; and Sor Juana’s Primero sueño (1692) and La Respuesta (1691), span the entirety of the 17th century, in both the Viceroyalty of Perú and New Spain. Important interventions in Latin American colonial culture have noted criollos’ ambivalence towards the culture inherited from Spain as well as the need to assert their cultural agency through writing. The poets at the center of my study participate in this preoccupation with the added complication of being women, whose works are habitually read in isolation, as exceptions. My dissertation defines a feminine criolla poetics dialogically negotiated with western tradition, be it Spanish gongorismo or Italian humanism, while highlighting the tension between inserting themselves in the canon and critiquing it. In place of readings that emphasize the transfer of discourse and knowledge from the center to the periphery, from the metropole to the colonies, I demonstrate that the writings of these women challenge, or even reverse, this logic. iv My study analyzes rhetorical and intertextual strategies by which criollas, twice removed from power due to their birthplace and gender, negotiated a space in the canon. My analysis reveals the acute consciousness of gender that informs each woman’s writing; however, I also participate in recent movements in criticism and theory that interrogate conventional notions of power, space and the directionality of colonial exchange. This dissertation examines the processes of cultural appropriation as it defines a feminine criolla poetics dialogically negotiated with western tradition, one that also opens up a space to critique this tradition through parody, irony and textual transformation. This dissertation is written in Spanish. v CURRICULUM VITAE NAME OF AUTHOR: Valeria Del Barco GRADUATE AND UNDERGRADUATE SCHOOLS ATTENDED: University of Oregon, Eugene Universidad Mayor de San Andrés, La Paz, Bolivia DEGREES AWARDED: Doctor of Philosophy, Romance Languages, 2017, University of Oregon Master of Arts, Romance Languages, 2010, University of Oregon Licenciada en Literatura, 2007, Universidad Mayor de San Andrés AREAS OF SPECIAL INTEREST: Transatlanticism Colonial Literature in Spanish America Golden Age Poetry Gender Studies Latin American Studies Intertextuality PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE: Graduate Teaching Fellow, Romance Languages, University of Oregon, 2008- 2017 Instructor of Record, Universidad Católica Boliviana, Bolivia, 2005-2007 Member of the Editorial Committee, Newspaper La Prensa, Bolivia, 2002-2004.

  • Los Campos Literario Y De Poder En El Virreinato Del Perú: Los Escritos De Juan Del Valle Y Caviedes (1645-1697)
    Los campos literario y de poder en el virreinato del Perú: Los escritos de Juan del Valle y Caviedes (1645-1697) 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 College of Arts and Sciences by Estela R. Roy-Alvarado M.A University of Northern Iowa November 2012 Committee Chair: Carlos M. Gutiérrez, Ph.D. ii Abstract This dissertation brings a new approach to Valle y Caviedes studies by using the theory of professional fields proposed by the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, in conjunction with Norbert Elias’ work on court societies. Caviedes is considered the most significant satiric writer in the viceroyalty of Peru. His literary career is a crucial contribution to the Peruvian literary field of the 17th century and poses a particular interest regarding the relationship between the literary field and the field of power. My research focuses on Caviedes’ position in the colonial literary field as well as on his interaction with the colonial field of power in the viceroyalty of Peru in the 1600s. The origins of the colonial literary field coincided with a moment of cultural splendor in the metropolis and received the influence of the Spanish Golden Age transforming it into a literature that manifests its own concerns and interests. The viceroys, who sponsored poetic communities and academies, brought Spanish court culture to America. Accordingly, my work studies the relations between the writer and the court, as well as the cultural interaction between the viceroyalty and the metropolis.

  • Clarinda's Catalogue Ofworthywomeninher
    CLARINDA'S CATALOGUE OF WORTHY WOMEN IN HER DISCURSO EN LOOR DE LA POESfA (1608) Raquel Chang-Rodriguez The City College-Graduate School City University of New York (CUNY) ne of the most singular literary contributions from colonial Peru is the Discurso en loor de la poesia, by Clarinda, an anony­ mous poet whose identity has evaded literary scholars and his­ O1 torians. Published in the prologue to Primera parte del Parnaso Antdrtico de obras amatorias (Seville, 1608), a translation of Ovid's Heroides by Diego Mexia de Fernangil (?-1618?), a Spanish poet who lived in the viceroyalties of Mexico and Peru for many years,2 the Discurso shows how Peninsular poetic predilections quickly traveled to the Spanish Indies. Taking into account these poetic traditions and particularly the influence of the Ital­ ian school in Spain (Rivers), in this study I will point out how the Discurso en loor de la poesia3 embraces and expands these practices to create a lyri­ cal voice that is both female and American. I further contend that the Discurso dares to propose a Peruvian intellectual space where its femi­ nine voice could interact with others of different origin and gender. The Feminine Lyrical Voice It is worth remembering that the Discurso appears in the prologue of a Spanish translation of Ovid's Heroides, a collection of letters written, in most cases, by famous women to their husbands and lovers. Thus, it should come as no surprise that in the Discurso the lyrical voice is de­ picted as that of a woman in at least two ways: directly, by alluding to its gender, and indirectly, through the inclusion of women in a catalogue of savants and writers from various traditions and historical periods.

  • 2011 Showcase Is on Display in Kray Hall from June 28 to July 30
    The Poets House Showcase is made possible through the generosity of hundreds of publishers and authors who have graciously contributed their books. We are also deeply grateful to Deborah Saltonstall Pease for her ongoing support. Thanks to the National Endowment for the Arts, the New York State Council on the Arts, the NYC Department of Cultural Aairs, The Rockefeller Brothers Fund, The JM Kaplan Fund, Bloomberg Philanthropies, The Concordia Foundation, the Leon Levy Foundation, The Lila Acheson Wallace Theatre Fund of the New York Community Trust, and our many Poets House Members for their support of this project. | Poets House | 10 River Terrace | New York NY 10282 | poetshouse.org | Celebrating the 19th annual Poets House Showcase, with 2,459 poetry titles on display. Welcome to the Showcase, Poets House’s annual, all-inclusive exhibition of more than 2,000 poetry books, chapbooks, broadsides, and multimedia works published in the United States. We welcome you to this comprehensive celebration of U.S. poetry and poetry publishing. Collection Development Approach Poets House invite publishers to participate in the annual Showcase by donating copies of their new poetry titles, which are displayed for a monthlong exhibition. The books are then integrated into our 50,000-volume poetry library, one of the largest collections of poetry open to the public. The Poets House mission has always been to be all-inclusive, to offer a democratic home for the range of poetry books published nationally. Our Showcase reflects this inclusivity. We search for it all: big presses, micropublishers, and artists’ collectives participate annually. Our research is informed by the entire poetry community, by poets and publishers, who continually send us their newest titles; and library visitors looking for a recent poet or publication.

  • Aspects of Female Passion and Love in a Selection of Aphra Behn's Poetry
    Faculty of Arts and Philosophy Dorine Temmerman (Student number: 00603122) English Literature: Aspects of female passion and love in a selection of Aphra Behn's poetry Supervisor: Prof. Dr. J.P. Vander Motten English Department Master dissertation submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of “Master in English” Academic year 2009-2010 Figure 1: Aphra Behn, engraving of portrait attributed to Mary Beale. Acknowledgements It is with some premature relief that I am handing over this dissertation, although I have yet to realize how I managed to complete it before the deadline. One thing is for sure: after the research and the proverbial months of ‘blood, sweat and tears’, it has yet to sink in with me that my Master thesis is finished and that I am soon to be a graduate of Ghent University; that is, if all goes well. I would however not be able to fully enjoy this event before acknowledging the help I received throughout this year. First of all I would like to warmly thank the driving force behind my thesis: Professor Jean-Pierre Vander Motten. His courses on “English Literature II: Historical Survey: Older Period” in the Second Bachelor and “English Renaissance Literature” in the Master program captivated and increased my interest for English literature in the Renaissance period. It was Professor Vander Motten who also provided me with the subject for my bachelor paper and showed me that the world of seventeenth-century literature contains more than those ‘great names’ of Defoe, Richardson and Fielding. My interest was now awakened in a pioneer seventeenth-century woman writer, Aphra Behn.

  • John Donne: Love and Voices in the Elegies and Songs and Sonnets
    1 John Donne: Love and Voices in the Elegies and Songs and Sonnets. Candidate: G. S. Bell Degree: Master of Arts (Research) Submitted: July, 2015 the University of Sydney 2 Contents: Abstract. 4 Chapter One. The reader enters the poem: empty spaces filled. 5‐23 Chapter Two. Ovid extended: beyond sexual conquest. 24‐54 Chapter Three. More is needed. 55‐71 Chapter Four. A different path: mutuality and fear. 72‐97 Chapter Five. Separations sought, and accommodated. 98‐122 Chapter Six. Conclusion: 123‐131 Voices forge a life inside the poem. Works Cited. 132‐150 3 Note: All quotations of John Donne's poetry are from Robin Robbins, ed. The Complete Poems of John Donne (Harlow: Longman, 2010). Text quoted from the original have been left as they are, with the exception of u/v, i/j, and the long s which have been modernised. Acknowledgements I thank Dr Huw Griffiths for his invaluable guidance and astute insights, and Dr Liam Semmler for his reading of the near final manuscript. Above all, this thesis is dedicated to Carolyn, who makes my world complete. 4 Abstract This thesis argues that Donne's Elegies and Songs and Sonnets found a readership trained to appreciate his words. It draws on the work of Wolfgang Iser. Iser particularly looks at the importance of a text providing a space in which the reader can imagine possibilities that extend his or her world. It is through voices that Donne connects with his readers, and creates worlds and spaces that they can explore. As his poetic control matures, Donne increasingly lives inside the poetic worlds he creates.
