Models of Literary Creation and Reception in the Work of Caterina Albert I Paradís/Víctor Català WRITING METHODS: MODELS OF LITERARY CREATION AND RECEPTION IN THE WORK OF CATERINA ALBERT I PARADÍS/VÍCTOR CATALÀ Kate Good A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Romance Studies in the Graduate School. Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: Samuel Amago Christine Arkinstall Irene Gómez Castellano Juan Carlos González-Espitia María Luisa Guardiola i © 2018 Kate Good ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Kate Good: Writing Methods: Models of Literary Creation and Reception in the Work of Caterina Albert i Paradís/Víctor Català (Under the direction of Samuel Amago) This dissertation studies one of Catalonia’s most influential writers, Caterina Albert i Paradís (pseudonym Víctor Català) (1869-1966), within the context of early-twentieth century Hispano-Catalan literary society. It demonstrates how, in a predominantly male profession, Albert/Català and contemporary female writers in Spain and Latin America become the subjects of critical gossip and face gender-based critical restriction of their creative work. In the literary reception of these writers, allusions to their deviant bodies, gender identities, and sexualities distract and detract from more rigorous formal assessments of their works. I argue that Albert/Català puts forth models of literary creation and methods of reception in her novels, short stories, and correspondence that function to defend her artistic liberty and to counter a culture of gendered critique. In this way, this dissertation shows how Albert’s narrative methods of writing (and reading) worked to create a space for the creative expression of women writers in a rapidly modernizing nation. This research works to bridge the gap between Catalan and Spanish- language literature by calling attention to the contributions of a canonical author who remains— despite her many achievements—overlooked by critics in the Spanish and Anglo-American academies. iii To my mom, for insisting that now was a good time for graduate school. iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I have had six fantastic years at UNC, made possible by a cast of fantastic people at the University and beyond. ROMS’s efficient and good-humored office staff, including Logan Brackett, Shavon Carey, and Nefi López-Chan, deserves recognition for coordinating everything from book scans to funding. Teresa Chapa, who has acquired for UNC’s library every far-flung book that I’ve requested, has also been an asset to this project. Though thousands of miles away, Christine Arkinstall has been present throughout the development of this dissertation. Her careful reading has improved the content and the style of my writing. I have been energized by her kind and encouraging messages. I would also like to thank Maria Luisa Guardiola who has been a supportive committee member and NACS colleague. The seed for Writing Methods was planted in a course with Irene Gómez Castellano, whose enthusiasm for a paper topic entirely unrelated to the class that she was teaching meant that I could begin to investigate Català and her stories in spring 2013. I am thankful for Irene’s time with me, especially for our zumos in Valencia. I am grateful to Juan Carlos González-Espitia, especially for an insightful days-long discussion that shaped my first ideas on “L’Embruix.” Juan Carlos also recommended a list of outstanding Latin American women writers for my bibliography. It wasn’t until I read Delmira Agustini and Alfonsina Storni—and their critics—that this project on Català began to come into view. v Moltes gràcies to Samuel Amago, who demystified both the work of dissertation writing and “the profession” in general in language that made sense to me. I leave UNC a disciple of the form and function gospel and an aficionada of the well-placed exclamation mark. Sam’s steadiness, availability, and occasional exclamation marks have been essential to the realization of this project. I am so appreciative. My peers—and friends—at UNC have also been an important source of support throughout. Adrienne Erazo is one of the most generous friends and colleagues that I know. The time stamps on her Word comments showed that she spent entirely too many hours helping me think and talk about Víctor Català. This dissertation has been transformed by her thorough, intelligent, and occasionally cheeky questions and comments. Elizabeth Jones, or Lizzie as I know her, has been a font of information and a sounding board on topics related to disability studies. Sarah Booker, a skilled and enthusiastic translator, has talked with me time and again about the importance of having more works available in more languages. I am thankful to my mom for answering countless phone calls and talking through everything from prospectus writing to interview attire. My brother’s—and more recently, my sister’s—willingness to go anywhere and do anything on our annual adventures has reminded me time and again why I love language and culture. And gracias to Dorian, who has kept the other 355 days of the year an adventure, too. vi NOTE ON TRANSLATIONS Few English translations of Víctor Català’s work were available at the time of writing this dissertation. I have used—and in several instances modified—David H. Rosenthal’s translation of Solitud in Chapter 1. The English titles of Català’s short story collections, including Dramas rurals, Contrallums, Caires vius, and Ombrívoles, come from Kathleen McNerney (“No subject;” “Caterina Albert”). All other translations from Catalan to English are my own, unless otherwise noted. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS……………………………………………………………………...x INTRODUCTION………………………………………………………………………………...1 I.

In reviews of their works, many women authors—both during and after their writing careers—face invasive public speculation and commentary about their bodies, their gender expressions, and their sexualities. Although loosely camouflaged as analytical discussion of their literary production, such speculation draws attention away from their texts’ literary merits by conflating their perceived value with suppositions about their authors’ lifestyles and/or physical appearances. This method of reception works to fabricate what Rita Felksi calls “chains of causality,” imaginary links between the work and, in this case, the woman that wrote it (Limits 67). As scholars including Susan Kirkpatrick, Begoña Sáez Martínez, Íñigo Sánchez-Llama, and Luisa Elena Delgado make evident, on many occasions critics read woman-authored texts as a limited function of the writer’s personal life or semblance. Kirkpatrick, for instance, demonstrates that references to the life of French novelist George Sand (1804-1876) serve to discount the value of her work (88). Sáez Martínez reports similar findings regarding critical responses to the texts and life

  • Catalan Modernism and Vexillology
    Catalan Modernism and Vexillology Sebastià Herreros i Agüí Abstract Modernism (Modern Style, Modernisme, or Art Nouveau) was an artistic and cultural movement which flourished in Europe roughly between 1880 and 1915. In Catalonia, because this era coincided with movements for autonomy and independence and the growth of a rich bourgeoisie, Modernism developed in a special way. Differing from the form in other countries, in Catalonia works in the Modern Style included many symbolic elements reflecting the Catalan nationalism of their creators. This paper, which follows Wladyslaw Serwatowski’s 20 ICV presentation on Antoni Gaudí as a vexillographer, studies other Modernist artists and their flag-related works. Lluís Domènech i Montaner, Josep Puig i Cadafalch, Josep Llimona, Miquel Blay, Alexandre de Riquer, Apel·les Mestres, Antoni Maria Gallissà, Joan Maragall, Josep Maria Jujol, Lluís Masriera, Lluís Millet, and others were masters in many artistic disciplines: Architecture, Sculpture, Jewelry, Poetry, Music, Sigillography, Bookplates, etc. and also, perhaps unconsciously, Vexillography. This paper highlights several flags and banners of unusual quality and national significance: Unió Catalanista, Sant Lluc, CADCI, Catalans d’Amèrica, Ripoll, Orfeó Català, Esbart Català de Dansaires, and some gonfalons and flags from choral groups and sometent (armed civil groups).

  • “Behind-The-Table” Conflicts in the Failed Negotiation for a Referendum for the Independence of Catalonia
    “Behind-the-Table” Conflicts in the Failed Negotiation for a Referendum for the Independence of Catalonia Oriol Valentí i Vidal*∗ Spain is facing its most profound constitutional crisis since democracy was restored in 1978. After years of escalating political conflict, the Catalan government announced it would organize an independence referendum on October 1, 2017, an outcome that the Spanish government vowed to block. This article represents, to the best of the author’s knowledge, the first scholarly examination to date from a negotiation theory perspective of the events that hindered political dialogue between both governments regarding the organization of the secession vote. It applies Robert H. Mnookin’s insights on internal conflicts to identify the apparent paradox that characterized this conflict: while it was arguably in the best interest of most Catalans and Spaniards to know the nature and extent of the political relationship that Catalonia desired with Spain, their governments were nevertheless unable to negotiate the terms and conditions of a legal, mutually agreed upon referendum to achieve this result. This article will argue that one possible explanation for this paradox lies in the “behind-the-table” *Attorney; Lecturer in Law, Barcelona School of Management (Universitat Pompeu Fabra) as of February 2018.

I hi afegeix: «El sentiment d’un esvaïment ràpid i defi nitiu es combina amb la inquietud de l’exacta signifi cació del present i la incertesa de l’esdevenidor per donar el més modest dels vestigis, al més humil dels testimonis, la dignitat vitual d’allò memorable». El mateix sosté Ricoeur: «En la cultura històrica, com és la nostra, l’arxiu ha assolit autoritat sobre qui el consulta; es pot parlar, com direm després, de RECERQUES revolució documental». No és estrany, l’arxiu és un dels llocs privilegiats de la memòria: «L’arxiu es presenta així com un lloc físic que allotja el destí d’aquesta mena de petjada que, amb tota cura, nosaltres distingim de la petjada cerebral i de la petjada afectiva, és a dir, la petjada documental. Per això l’arxiu no és només un lloc físic, espacial; és també un lloc social.» 01. Carles Bas Nostàlgies i vivències. Blanes i la meva vida 8 Del «mal d’arxiu» a la «febre d’arxiu».

A aquest fet, cal sumar-hi el judici pejoratiu que gran part de la crítica ha formulat sobre el Consistori, atribuint- li la voluntat d’imposar una forma artificiosa acompanyada d’un contingut moral o devot que s’avingués amb l’ortodòxia cristiana. Els pocs autors conservats de l’època que no es podien encabir del tot en aquest marc, com ara Ramon de Cornet –paradoxalment l’autor amb més obra conservada de la primera meitat del Tres-cents i amb una difusió més àmplia–, són considerats una excepció i fins i tot, en el cas de Cornet, d’estrafolari. Però si estudiem la seva obra en el marc de la tradició literària més immediata, la dels darrers trobadors, veurem com la poètica del XIV és una evolució natural d’aquest llegat, que respon a unes exigències de gust literari que va molt més enllà de les suposades coaccions consistorials. Una mostra d’això és la peça «Al noble cavalier» de Cornet. Paraules clau: Ramon de Cornet, lírica occitanocatalana, trobadors, Consistori de la Gaia Ciència, Escola de Tolosa Abstract The study of 14th-century Occitan poetry has been overshadowed by its alleged subjection to the poetics of the contests organized by the Toulousain Consistory of the Gay Science.

This dissertation aims to fill this gap in the literature by exploring how migration politics are being fought over not only across society but also across territory in two well-researched cases of protracted nationalist mobilisation, Catalonia and Scotland. It meets three objectives: First, it introduces a theoretical framework accounting for sub-state elites’ and administrations’ boundary-making strategies in relation to immigrants and emigrants.
