  • El Extraño Mundo De Silvina Ocampo
    El extraño mundo de Silvina Ocampo 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 Collage of Arts and Sciences by María Rebeca Deibel M.A University of Northern Iowa November 2012 Comittee Chair: Enrique A. Giordano, Ph.D. Abstract This dissertation brings a new approach to Silvina Ocampo studies by using the theory of uncanny and fantastic fields. It has been a great contribution the theoretical foundations of psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud The Uncanny and Irène Bessière Le récit fantastique. The main book is titled Fantasy: The Literature of Subversion by Rosemary Jackson as it integrates the notions raised by Tzvetan Todorov and Irène Bessière. Jackson's contribution has allowed me to clarify the definition of the fantastic and the uncanny to the development of this dissertation. I think the term paraxial deserves special mention because it reaffirms the fantastic not categorically defined within the real or unreal, but rather is considered as an ambiguity. Some short stories of the writer show signs of ambiguity, a characteristic of the fantastic, but this does not classify all her works within this category. I do not intend to place it within a literary genre because it’s narrative is presented in influence of various literary forms. I proved, however, that it leans more toward the uncanny rather than other narrative categories. Silvina Ocampo is an Argentina writer who seduces readers with an approach contrary to convention.

  • The Tagore-Ocampo Encounter: Tangled, Complex Realities
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Institutional Repository of the Ibero-American Institute, Berlin The Tagore-Ocampo Encounter: Tangled, Complex Realities. A Personal Research Survey Ketaki Kushari Dyson Researching the Tagore-Ocampo encounter for over half a decade was a very special event in my life in more than one way. I would like to begin by following Victoria Ocampo’s example and approaching the subject from the centre of my own life, which will hopefully give some insight into the process of cross-cultural conversation. Tagore was part of my natural heritage. I belong to a generation of Bengalis who received Tagore as an acknowledged classic of their tradition. Myself and my sister immediately after me were named by our parents after two of Tagore’s favourite flowers, strengthening our sense of bonding with him. It is said that absorbing Tagore’s songs makes one a Bengali, and I first heard his songs in my own mother’s voice. I read him from early childhood onwards, almost as soon as I could read, and wrote poetry un- der the inspiration of his words. His works came to us almost like personal gifts left to us by him, or as the English poet Keats might have put it, as naturally as leaves come to a tree. He was part of our group identity. For me it was Victoria Ocampo who was the ‘exotic’ character. I knew she had been a distant muse to our great poet in the last seventeen years of his life, the woman he called Vijaya and to whom he had dedicated the col- lection Purabi in 1925.

  • Review of the Governance and Operational Framework of Villa Ocampo
    Internal Oversight Service Audit Section IOS/AUD/2010/10 Original: English Review of the Governance and Operational Framework of Villa Ocampo June 2010 Auditors: Sameer Pise Dawn Clemitson EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Key results The Villa Ocampo is well maintained and has achieved visibility through its activities and fund-raising initiatives. However, its activities are not subject to UNESCO’s programmatic oversight and the governing council is no longer functioning. UNESCO should, in consultation with the Government of the Argentine Republic, determine the future direction of the Villa and take steps to align its operational and governance structures accordingly. If it is to continue to operate as a field antenna office within UNESCO’s control framework, the Villa’s fund-raising mechanisms and administrative processes should be better aligned with UNESCO’s regulations and rules. Background, Scope and Objectives 1. As part of the Audit Plan for 2010, the Internal Oversight Service (IOS) audited the Montevideo Regional Science Office in March 2010. In the course of this audit, IOS also reviewed the control framework for Villa Ocampo, a UNESCO entity in Argentina that administratively reports to the Montevideo Office. 2. The Executive Board authorized the Director-General in 1973 to accept a donation of two villas offered to UNESCO by Victoria Ocampo and Angelica Ocampo. The Deed of Gift specified that Villa Ocampo was to be used for the furtherance of UNESCO’s objectives in accordance with its Constitution and short or medium term programme activities approved by the General Conference. The deed noted that “the donor desires that the property be used in a living and creative sense for the purposes of promotion, research, experimentation and development in culture literacy, artistic and social communication activities aimed at improving the quality of life, communication, international cooperation and peace among the peoples of the world.” 3.

The Early (Feminist) Essays of Victoria Ocampo Abstract This study examines the essays written by Ocampo between 1920 and 1934, prior to the time when she publicly voiced her adhesion to feminism and the rights of women in Argentine society. In these works from her Testimonios in which Ocampo struggles to find her oicev as a female writer, the maleable essay serves her need to engage in discursive dialogues from the margins of the literary culture of her time. Both as a woman and a member of the oligarchy, she questions cultural assumptions and gender-based binary structures common among the male writers of her time, many of whom she knew personally.
