At this time, I would like to take the opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to each of them. First and foremost, I wish to convey my heartfelt appreciation to Dr. Mary E. Davis, whom I consider a mentor, role model, and friend. I have always regarded Dr. Davis as a consummate scholar and writer, and during the formulation of this dissertation her literary expertise directed me to investigative paths that enhanced my analytical approach. Her insightful revisions clarified my writing and helped me to discover my own voice. Most importantly, she offered me consistent encouragement at every step of this project, and for this I am forever indebted to her. I would also like to express my gratitude to the other members of my committee. I am deeply appreciative of Dr. Bruce Boggs for his prompt readings and close analysis of my work. His comments offered me validation throughout the process. In turn, I have learned much from Dr. Ismael Marquez, particularly from his informative guidance in genre research. Dr. Marquez consistently challenged me to approximate a text from a variety of theoretical perspectives. I am also thankful for the patient reading of Dr. Michael Langenbach who took time from his extraordinarily busy schedule to assist me in an area outside his own expertise. Also, I would like to thank my dear friend and colleague. Dr. Grady Wray who shares my love of Latin-American women writers. His instructive comments greatly facilitated the process of writing, and his unwavering support encouraged me throughout my doctoral program. In addition, I am grateful for the assistance of Dr. Luis Cortest for his reading of several of the chapters. His expertise in editing proved invaluable. My gratitude also extends to Danny Lovett whose computer proficiency rescued me from several near disasters. Most of all, I would like to thank my husband, Pat, and my children, Dan, Carrie, and David for their immeasurable patience and support during the iv completion of this dissertation. While I wrote on redefining domesticity, they experienced it firsthand. I am especially grateful to my husband for his wonderful disposition that brightens my life, even during the darkest of days. I proudly share this accomplishment with him.

Lawler Director: Dr. Mary E. Davis Abstract The figurative movement of women from the private space of the home to the public forum gradually materialized in Latin-American literature over the course of the twentieth century. This particular literary transition substantially mirrored the progress of the feminist sociopolitical movement, in which women retained their affiliation with the home as an integral component of their identity, even as they sought to escape its confines. My investigation treats the utilization of the domestic sphere as a microcosmic model of dominance in Hasta no verte Jesus mio by Elena Poniatowska, "La increlble y triste historié de la candide Eréndira" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and Afrodita: cuentos. recetas y otros afrodisiacos by Isabel Allende. Through the discursive portrayal of women as strong, resilient characters, and the home as an educative site, these works subvert the masculine representation of authority and reconfigure women as symbolically empowered forces of transformation. Each of these works reframes historical truth from the context of its own geographic and temporal perspective by the deployment of revisionist narrative approaches, in the first chapter of this study the works are situated within the literary production of each of the authors, as well as within the context of the historical and cultural development of Latin-American gender relations. In addition, the chapter provides an overview of the literary and anthropological interpretations of domesticity in Latin America. Chapter Two discusses Poniatowska's use of the testimonial narrative approach in order to examine the marginalization of subaltern classes in Mexican society from the feminine Vll perspective of Jesusa Palancares. a domestic worker whose life spans the greater portion of the twentieth century. In Chapter Three. Garcia Màrquez’s creative interpretation centers on Eréndira as a non-traditional fairy tale protagonist whose emancipation from domestic and familial subjugation metaphorically deconstructs the mythological history of Latin-American imperial dominance. The focus of the fourth chapter is on Allende’s use of the narratologicai elements of the literary anatomy and the symbolic properties of food as a framework for a feminine manifesto of sexuality that incorporates the author’s own metafictional memoir of her development as a woman and writer. The final chapter of this study identifies the works analyzed as integral components of the literary development of revisionist approaches to traditional genres and the renewed interest in domestic motifs. Vlll Chapter One Introduction El secreto de la escritura, como el de la buena cocina notiene absolutamente nada quaver con el sexo, sine con la sabiduria con que se combinan tos ingredientes. - -Rosario Ferré Sitio a Eros In Ovid’s Metamorphosis, the story is told of King Tereus who violates Philomela and removes her tongue, stripping her of the ability to testify to his atrocity. However, Philomela draws on her accomplished domestic talents and weaves a tapestry so expressive that it immediately conveys the story of her brutalization to her sister, Procne. In many ways, Philomela’s narrative reflects the depiction in Latin-American literature of empowered women who utilize their domestic education in order to reveal hegemonic cultural systems. Three twentieth-century narratives, Hasta no verte Jesus mio (1969), by the Mexican writer Elena Poniatowska, “La increlble y triste historié de la candide Eréndira y de su abuela desalmada ” (1972), by the Colombian Nobel Laureate Gabriel Garcia Màrquez, and Afrodita: cuentos. recetas. y otros afrodisiacos (1997), by the Chilean author, Isabel Allende serve as models of this narrative practice.

  • Entrevista/Interview Written in the Margins: “Doing the Job Right”. an Interview with Elena Poniatowska.1
    Vol. 8, No. 1, Fall 2010, 349-370 www.ncsu.edu/project/acontracorriente Entrevista/Interview Written in the Margins: “Doing the job right”. An interview with Elena Poniatowska.1 Pedro García-Caro University of Oregon A Carlos Monsiváis “…no me calienta ni el sol”’ Elena Poniatowska received an invitation from the Latin American Studies Program at the University of Oregon to deliver the annual 1 English translation by Pedro García-Caro. The original version in Spanish will appear in the journal Cartaphilus (Universidad de Murcia, Vol 7, 2010). García-Caro 350 Bartolomé de las Casas Lecture in May of 2010. Interviewing Elena Poniatowska, talking with her, creates an immediate feeling of deep familiarity that sustains the notion that literature and culture can help heal the world. Reading her works and meeting her are both equally satisfying confirmations that writing can be more potent and truthful than those well-known publishing schemes through which a multitude of writers endeavor to establish themselves as courtesans and hacks. One vaguely remembers the many arrogant writers, young and old, who are trapped in their looking-glass galleries of jealousy, recognition anxiety, disregard for critics and public fear, but they are summarily forgotten in the face of the real chronicler of a country and a century. Elena’s gaze, her memory, her word shine and show the profound empathic humanity with which she writes—a true humility that allows her to disappear in order to give life to others, to help and rescue them. For Poniatowska, the people who inhabit her writings are the intended recipients of prizes and public recognition.

  • Macaulay Honors College the Latin American She-BOOM Carmen Boullosa Spring 2021
    Macaulay Honors College The Latin American She-BOOM Carmen Boullosa Spring 2021 During the late sixties and seventies, the global literary world’s attention was captured by a group of relatively young Latin American authors - Colombian Gabriel García Márquez, Peruvian Mario Vargas Llosa, Argentinian Julio Cortázar and Mexican Carlos Fuentes. Their success was so enormous that it drew other prodigiously talented Latin American authors into their orbit. José Donoso, Cabrera Infante, Severo Sarduy, and Carlos Onetti, among others, also received international visibility and demand. Their prose was by no means uniform. Each adopted distinctive styles. But their work and lives had sufficient overlaps that they were collectively considered a cultural and political phenomenon. They came to be called the BOOM – the “Latin American BOOM writers" – in part for their explosive arrival on the literary scene. And they shared something else, something that was crucial to their work and its reception, though it went all but universally unremarked on. They were all men. But during the same period of time, Latin American women authors were also producing a spectacular range of literary works. Elena Garro, Rosario Castellanos, Luisa Valenzuela, María Luisa Bombal, Silvina Ocampo, and other women writers of that calibre, were active in those years. Why, then, were they not considered part of the BOOM? Why were none of them picked up by the same publishers, literary critics, and readers who were eagerly enjoying the male Latin American "wave"? Why weren’t they "in"? In this course, we will begin by exploring the relevance of gender to answering this question – briefly investigating the macho nature of what I will call (as a droll analytic device), the HE-BOOM.

  • ABSTRACT a Cognitive Poetic Exploration of Elena Poniatowska's
    ABSTRACT A Cognitive Poetic Exploration of Elena Poniatowska’s La noche de Tlatelolco Megan Boyd, M.A. Mentor: Alexander McNair, Ph.D. This study of Elena Poniatowska’s La noche de Tlateloco is based on a cognitive poetic approach to explore readers’ perceptions of the work. It affirms both the historical veracity and literary ingenuity of the text by highlighting literary elements and asserting that they strengthen rather than weaken readers’ historical understanding of the censured collective trauma. This study applies theories of readers’ literary perceptions to investigate the work as a sensorially immersive experience. It analyzes the emotional atmospheres in “Ganar la calle” and “La noche de Tlatelolco” by highlighting cognitive qualities of emotions within the text. It then postulates that the creative presentation of La noche draws readers’ attention to historical silences and immerses them into parts of the past often overlooked by conventional historiography.
