Su actual significado; su misión ulterior," Camila Henrìquez Ureña, "Feminismo" y "La mujer y la cultura," y Luisa Capetillo, "La mujer en la época primitiva" y "La mujer en el hogar, en la familia, en el gobierno." Ellas utilizan el ensayo como una denuncia social tanto de su realidad histórica como sociopolìtica. Por medio del ensayo las escritoras se apropian del formato del discurso masculino para promover sus ideas e incorporar sus formas de pensar, de ver el mundo y la vida que les delimita. De esta forma, el ensayo les permite examinar el espacio doméstico, en relación a los roles (papeles) fijados al género por la sociedad, y con ello debatir el mundo y la vida. Por tanto, es preciso evaluar el propósito de éstas al utilizar un género literario cuya producción fue mayormente masculina. En suma, el objetivo de este trabajo de investigación es investigar, interpretar y reflexionar a través de una metodologìa feminista sobre la presencia, contribución y experiencias de las mujeres en los espacios de la polìtica y la educación, dentro del contexto histórico de los siglos XIX y principios del XX en el Caribe.

Show moreEsta disertación analiza los temas del budismo zen, el yin-yang y la ecología en la obra completa del poeta mexicano Alberto Blanco (1951) para comprobar que todo en el cosmos está conectado y forma parte de un Gran Ser y a la vez que este Ser forma parte de algo más grandioso. A Blanco se le ha estudiado desde una perspectiva visual y poética, se le ha incluido en la 'Generación del desengaño' por su innovativo uso del lenguaje pero nunca antes se ha hecho una investigación desde la influencia oriental y ecológica. En este trabajo se examina la obra poética de Blanco según las siete características del budismo zen como lo son la asimetría, la simplicidad, la sublimidad, la naturalidad, la delicadeza, la libertad de ataduras y la tranquilidad. También se hace un estudio desde el punto de vista ecológico puesto que Blanco expone en su obra poética la preocupación por el maltrato, la humillación y la irresponsabilidad de los seres humanos hacia la naturaleza. Y por último se estudia la obra del poeta desde la filosofía china del yin-yang donde todo lo existente tiene una dualidad, pero Blanco demuestra todo lo contrario al unir las dos fuerzas y así formar la unidad y decir que sin luz no hay oscuridad o sin la vida no existiría la muerte. Esta investigación ayuda a entender más sobre el equilibrio de todo lo visible y lo invisible y para decir que Blanco pertenece a un nuevo movimiento o escuela: la generación del espacio del vacío o de la nada. Este estudio es importante porque se ve la heterogeneidad de oriente y occidente y a la vez se considera la vida de una manera homogénea.

Show moreThis dissertation examines the use of urban space in Cuban cultural production after 1990; the year Fidel Castro announced the beginning of the crisis known as "Special Period in Times of Peace". It was a period that brought the most dramatic changes in Cuban society after the sixties, provoking a decentralization of power in many sectors. I argue in this thesis that there is also a decentralization in the use of urban space, which reflects the collective disenchantment in the revolutionary project. In the literary and cinematographic works studied, raging from 1991 to 2014, the characters live in Havana city and inscribe meanings through their spatial practices. These spaces also influence the state of mind and actions of the characters, reinforcing the interconnection between the spatial, the temporal and the social dimensions. Using a spatial theoretical framework, within the field of cultural studies, the research is supported by the conceptualization of social space developed by Henri Lefebvre, of heterotopia by Michel Foucault, and the analysis of the use of urban space developed by Michel de Certeau. Many of the fictional works of the period show characters that do not have a feeling of belonging to a nation, who interact with the city from marginal spaces, such as rooftops and the limits with the sea. My objective is to examine the use, function and effect that these spaces of alterity have on their users, and their significance for the analysis of the Cuban society. The dissertation has been divided as follows: introduction, three chapters—each dedicated to spaces of alterity that share certain characteristics—, and conclusion. The first chapter explores the overwhelming presence of rooftops in the fictional works of post-Soviet Cuba; these are spaces that rise over the city and allow a feeling of freedom, and the possibility to lighten the weight of daily life. The second chapter proposes to see two of these spaces as heterotopias of accumulation of time, emphasizing an alternative order that reveals the contradictions of the spaces outside. In these heterotopias, the characters reconstruct anOther history, anOther national identity. In chapter three I analyze the space where the city meets the sea, particularly the area of Havana's famous seafront, el Malecón. Despite being a public and heterogeneous space, this frontier is also used by the characters to distance themselves from the official center, and to find a space of escape, refuge and rebirth. At first, these spaces of alterity are used as a means to escape; however, they also instill a liberating feeling, thus becoming spaces where the characters can look into themselves and recover their lost hopes. The possibility for a re-imagination of the self and the nation only happens in these spaces, suggesting that the official center is in a standstill. Therefore, this research shows the need to include spatial analysis in the study of Cuban society, and reveals the decentralization of space in post-Soviet Havana, which is interconnected with the ideological disenchantment of the nineties. Additionally, some of the works propose a redefinition of the concept of national identity that is not necessarily tied to the revolutionary project.

Show moreLe but de ce mémoire est de traiter des aspects majeurs du vaudou utilisés par René Depestre dans Hadriana dans tous mes rêves. Il se peut que ce roman soit la meilleure des œuvres de Depestre puisque c'est dans ce roman que Depestre a cristallisé tous ses usages du vaudou en tant que principe unificateur des différents thèmes qui y sont abordés. Dans ses premières œuvres en vers, on remarque que Depestre a déjà utilisé le vaudou comme un outil sociopolitique. Par exemple, dans Un arc-en-ciel pour l'occident chrétien, le vaudou est un moyen pour bouleverser le statu quo raciste dans le Sud des Etats-Unis. Après sa rupture avec le parti communiste et son exil de Cuba, Depestre est devenu déçu avec le marxisme et n'importe quelle autre machine politique. A la suite de cette rupture il a produit son premier roman, Le mât de cocagne. Ici, le vaudou devient un outil utilisé par le gouvernement pour contrôler l'esprit du peuple, un opium pour les gens simples, sans instruction. Ensuite, dans ses œuvres suivantes fictives en prose, le vaudou est lié désormais à une dimension érotique chez Depestre qui a proclamé lui-même qu'il a abandonné la politique. Par conséquent l'expression politique ne s'exprime guère dans ces œuvres. Enfin, plus tard dans sa carrière, la façon humoristique dans laquelle Depestre s'est exprimé atteint un sommet avec ses œuvres fantastiques en prose, surtout avec Hadriana dans tous mes rêves. Cependant, en ce qui concerne cette étude, on va essayer de montrer ce qu'on appelle les différents aspects ou plutôt avatars du vaudou qui se trouvent dans Hadriana. C'est-à-dire le vaudou dans ses rapports avec la vie politique, la dimension érotique et l'humour. Depestre s'est exprimé le mieux comme auteur complet et complexe en utilisant et combinant tous ces aspects du vaudou dans Hadriana.

Show moreEste estudio identifica un conjunto de narrativas españolas, publicadas entre 1994 y 2008, que contienen personajes anoréxicos, con el fin de analizarlos y ubicarlos dentro del panorama literario español. Sin olvidar el contexto más global, este estudio se enfoca en los textos que contienen periodos de hospitalización para el tratamiento de la anorexia, Billete de ida y vuelta (1999) de Gemma Lienas, "Debilitamiento" (2002) de Andrés Barba, Estela: Diario de una vida adolescente (1997) de Javier López Garcìa, La foto de Portobello (2004) de Vicente Muñoz Puelles, Mi tigre es lluvia (1997) de Carlos Puerto, Morir de hambre: Cartas a una anoréxica (2002) de Luis Martìnez de Mingo, Peso cero (2007) de Antonia Romero, Porque eres mi amiga (2008) de Ana Pomares y Rosas blancas para Claudia (2005) de Carlos Puerto. Primero, y a base del criterio diagnóstico para la anorexia que propone la Asociación Psiquiátrica Americana, se analizan los personajes anoréxicos para establecer la veracidad de su anorexia, asì estableciendo el realismo de los textos. Luego, se indaga sobre las manifestaciones de control que resultan en los estados de descontrol, demostrando que la anorexia se puede leer como una crisis de identidad en los personajes anoréxicos. Después, se analizan los temas de vigilancia y normalización en los programas de hospitalización según las ideas de Michel Foucault sobre el Panóptico de Jeremy Bentham y su aplicación a los programas de hospitalización por Mebbie Bell. Se considera el alto nivel de reincidencia después de los periodos de hospitalización y, por lo mismo, se compara la terapia de hospitalización con otras terapias alternativas, vistas en Peso cero y Sara y la anorexia: El triunfo del alma sobre la mente (2006) por Nieves Mesón, concluyendo que los programas más sutiles consiguen con mayor eficacia la recuperación de la anorexia. Entonces, se analizan los cambios económicos, socio-históricos y culturales que ocurren en España en las décadas anteriores al aumento de los casos de anorexia, particularmente la abertura de la economìsa española y su entrada en la Comunidad Económica Europea en 1986, el fin de la dictadura de Francisco Franco y los consecuentes cambios en el papel de la mujer en la sociedad española y los cambios culturales en cuanto a la alimentación; se demuestra cómo estos cambios contribuyen al aumento de los casos de anorexia y cómo se ilustran dentro de los textos bajo consideración. Debido a la relación entre estos factores y la anorexia, se propone que las chicas anoréxicas, por llevar la crisis de la transición española en sus cuerpos, reflejan la crisis de identidad de España después de la muerte de Franco. Finalmente, se lleva a cabo un análisis literario de las obras en cuestión, estudiando los temas posmodernos de fragmentación e intertextualidad, concluyendo que la narrativa sobre la anorexia ilustra bien la condición anoréxica y, por lo mismo, se considera una literatura posmoderna para una enfermedad igualmente posmoderna, fragmentada y llena de múltiples voces. Encima, por su conexión con la cuestión de identidad, se propone que este cuerpo textual se considere una extensión de la literatura española posfranquista que trata el tema de la identidad.

Show moreMy thesis is an experimental project that explores the connection between aesthetics and meaning-formation. The inspiration for the project emerged out of my research into the work of a group of poets known as infrarrealistas, whose most famous member, Roberto Bolaño, has become one of the widely read writers of our times. In the recently published anthology titled Perros habitados por las voces del desierto (2014) Rubén Medina, a founding member of the group, explains the infrarrealistas' artistic motivation as an attempt to capture the multiple forces that shape the subject's identity (16); forces that operate beneath the complex symbolic systems of communication. These forces are responsible for shaping the subject's immediate experience, or being-alive-ness. Influenced by the group's motivations and recent conceptualizations within the field of affect theory, the following project is an exercise in using poetry as a way to re-conceptualize the experience of being alive. Discursive formulations are avoided in an attempt to create a text whose meaning derives from its affective connection with the reader, and not from the intricate economies of meaning that limit the affective scope of academic and scholarly language. As a result, the following thesis upon first glance looks like the work of a mad man. Poems, citations, excerpts from books, pages from my personal diary are bundled together in a way that challenges what is commonly understood as an academic thesis. However, its validity rests in the fact that it tries to engage with current work in the field of affect theory, experimenting with aesthetics and meaning-formation, and leaving aside the discursive formulations to engage with its reader at an affective, or visceral level.

Show moreReadings of the economic thought of Cuban poet and social theorist José artí have focused on the portion of his journalistic works that looks like economic writing in a conventional sense. I argue that Martí's economic writings are far more extensive than those that appear to have been written for a "linguistic community" of economists and economic journalists. Much of Martí's economic thinking is revealed through an extensive system of symbols, images, metaphors and allusions in articles that appear to have little to do with economics. Martí, one of the best known members of a group of Latin American poets who later came to be known as the modernistas, often used tropes developed in his poetic practice in his economic writing for newspapers such as La Nación of Buenos Aires and La Opinión Nacional of Caracas. I further argue that the full range of Martí's economic views only becomes evident upon close reading of his journalistic production as if it were poetry. What becomes clear by this method is Martí's rejection of the version of U.S. capitalism he witnesses in New York City in the 1880's as an economic system for future Latin American development. This is not merely a condemnation of particular economic practices, such as protectionism or the dominance of monopolies, but rather a systematic rejection of capitalism on economic, social, cultural and even spiritual grounds. Chapters 2, 3, 4 and 5 demonstrate this rejection through examination of a sample of his economically oriented tropes including The Mayflower, Henry George, prizefighting, the biblical Cain and the locomotive. Martí appears to have developed this highly codified style in part to avoid censorship by his editor at La Nación since that paper had devoted itself to the promotion of U.S. style capitalism as the only appropriate economic model for Argentina's future development. However, it is reasonable to argue that Martí also had in mind a subconscious appeal to his readers as a strategy for opposing the adoption of the U.S. capitalist economic model.

Show moreThis project analyses the various ways in which representation of space has been used to construct Asia, especially China and Japan, by nineteenth-and twentieth-century Spanish-American writers. I approach this study with an understanding of space as a social construct delineated by the subject's relationship to the knowledge acquired through readings and real live experiences in Asia. The main authors studied are José Martì, Julián del Casal, Rubén Darìo, Enrique Gómez Carrillo, José Juan Tablada and Efrén Rebolledo. My theoretical framework draws from the geographical theories of Michel Foucault, Benedict Anderson and Henri Lefèbrve. By reading representations of spaces (spatial practice, representations of space and representational spaces) from various Spanish-American writers through a geographical representation of landscape as a social construction, I respond to the growing interest of scholars such as Julia Kushigian and Araceli Tinajero to study the complexities of Asia as a spatial construction of Hispanic Orientalism and its relation to Asia by Spanish-American writers of the nineteenth-and-twentieth-century. In the first part of this project, I analyze how Spanish-American writers who have not made the trip abroad describe and represent Asia in their writing, especially in short stories, novels and poetry, where they constructed an Asia they imagined and visit yearned. In the second part, I examine the construction of Asia and the representation of the Oriental subjects by the Spanish-American writers who actually traveled to Asia to experience their pre-existing sensations. It is here that I compare and contrast the differences and similarities between the intellectual travelers who did not travel versus the ones who experienced Asia. The writers who visited Asia add a new perspective to the image. The discourse of perceived and lived space described in the chronicles of Enrique Gómez Carrillo, José Juan Tablada it is not the same discourse as the conceived and imagined space of the chronicles, the newspaper, and the travel text before experiences. Finally, I undertake a study about early twentieth-century Hispanic Orientalism. Here I concentrate on the constructions, representations and interpretations of Efrén Rebolledo an author from Mexico who wrote Rimas japonesas. My intention with this chapter is to compare and contrast the discourse used by late nineteenth-century writers with the early twentieth-century writers' discourse about Asia and see if new perspectives have been implemented by the Contemporary writer to further construct the imaginary Asia presented in early texts or to deconstruct the fantasized perception of Asia by offering a much more richer and trustful representation of the far East.

Show moreIn this study, I evaluate and explore the role of the antihero and the subordinate male in the patriarchal society as a marginalized voice throughout discourse at the end of the twentieth century. These discourses are first-person accounts of abuse of human rights, violence and social oppression and form an intricate part of testimonial literature. In the Latin American novels that I explore, the antihero faces marginalization due to dominant discourses with the structures of society and he lives an exclusion from meaningful participation in society, partly because the labor market does not or cannot accommodate him. This proves to be one of the most dangerous forms of oppression. This study investigates and demonstrates the antihero as an active participant in society. Furthermore, this research demonstrates the study of the representation of male images that transgress and deconstruct hegemonic models of masculinity.

Show moreThis dissertation intends to study the ways whereby contemporary Iberian poetry moves (in the double sense of emotionally touching and politically mobilizing), and therefore can potentially produce, different models of sociality within the context of the 2008 financial crisis in Portugal and Spain. For that sake, it draws from the relatively recent affective turn in Cultural Studies, resulting in an approach characterized by an understanding of emotions as practices. Contrary to traditional psychoanalytic perspectives, where emotions are considered inner states and/or properties of the subject, Affect theory studies emotions as a liminal, relational production: the result from the interaction of bodies with their environment, as well as between themselves. This approach has important implications for literary criticism, as it involves addressing literary texts from their very material dimension. Therefore, and apart from paying attention to its meaning, the key question would be what these texts do: what are their effects and how they impress, corporeal and intellectually, on their readers. Issues of agency and subject-object distinction need to be reconsidered once we acknowledge that the literary text acts upon the reader and transforms him/her. The project is structured in four chapters. The first one focuses in poetic texts which, be it through traditional formats or newer devices, work, following Germán Labrador's terminology, as spaces of action. These texts, poems from Antonio Orihuela, Filipa Leal, Pablo García Casado or Golgona Anghel, would be affective mediators, able to provide the reader with politically mobilizing narratives and myths. It is possible to identify voices, narratives or scenes that describe or reflect situations with which the reader empathizes, and that are able to move her to the point of changing a state of fear, disappointment or apathy by another of mobilizing indignation. The second chapter is dedicated to those poetics centered in a re-elaboration of language for subversive purposes. Following the premise that a new world cannot be thought using the old language of oppression, these poetics would strive to overcome the currently mainstream prosaic realism. In this part I will analyze works from María Salgado, Enrique Falcón and Antonio Méndez Rubio together with the Portuguese hypermedia poet Rui Torres; these authors distance themselves from figurative poetics and embrace openness and indetermination, experimenting with various avant-garde means and elements. In a third chapter, I pay attention to poets and MCs who shift between traditional formats and other material or virtual spatialities for their works, ranging from weblog literature to street walls or hip-hop performances, which entail new restrictions and opportunities. Among others, I study the work of Alberto Basterrechea, also known as neorrabioso (a mock self-definition that means "new enraged"). neorrabioso employs an aphoristic, inflammatory writing with a colloquial and ludic characteristic mark: his brevity is, among other factors, a consequence of the fact that he clandestinely paints his poems in the streets of Madrid. This will of regaining the public sphere for and by poetry is framed in the activities of the 15-M movement, with which neorrabioso shares a project of renewing language in order to counteract institutional newspeak. The last chapter studies, in an affective key, ecologist discourses in committed poetry. It will take Jorge Riechmann as its central figure, but will also consider other authors such as Rui Lage or Fernando Aguiar. Thanks to their relational quality, emotions and affects like shame or empathy (fundamental for the construction of a sense of community) have worked as dams for human ambitions, particularly in a competitive and individualistic culture such as the Western. Thus, in this chapter I analyze poems susceptible of rousing affects that function as limits: affects that, for instance, contribute to raise awareness that economic growth as an ends to itself is a self-destructive fiction, incompatible with nature's finiteness, of which human beings are an inseparable part.

Je vais montrer que ces femmes refusent d'accepter le code social qui les assujettit et qu'elles luttent pour garder leur identite. Nous avons trouve qu'il y a beaucoup de semes qui sont communs aux quatre oeuvres. Par exemple, cage, feu, amour, mariage, mort, religion et liberte (voir tableau en appendice). Parmi les quatre heroines, la princesse de Cleves et Therese ont trouve leur liberte en dehors du mariage. Madame de Cleves reste veuve apres la mort de son mari malgre sa passion pour le Duc de Nemours. Therese, apres un attentat semi-conscient sur son mari, se retrouvera seule a Paris.

La orientación principal de este estudio se centra en la obra narrativa y poética del escritor José Lezama Lima (1910-1976) con el propósito de analizar cómo la sinergia de símbolos actúa en el universo imaginario lezamiano, y así poder explicar cómo sirve de base en la creación de imágenes, para obtener una mejor comprensión de la compleja cultura del Caribe.

El enfoque medular recaerá sobre su obra narrativa pero sin excluir otros fragmentos importantísimos de poemas, ensayos y epístolas, que conforman su sistema poético. Nuestro argumento es que la obra de Lezama no es simplemente una aventura estética del lenguaje sino un compendio simbólico de escritos de carácter moral que busca asiduamente influenciar de manera positiva a los lectores de su comunidad. Al mismo tiempo, está investigación expone una característica de Lezama que no ha sido tratada por la crítica: su compromiso social, que dentro de un universo imaginario integrado por múltiples voces poéticas, símbolos y alusiones, permite una variedad de lecturas de los abismos más sombríos del ser humano y su circunstancia. Inicialmente estudiaremos la complejidad simbólica en la narrativa corta de Lezama con el propósito de exponer primero, la importancia del cuento dentro de la poética lezamiana y posteriormente, de demostrar que los cuentos de Lezama no son meros ejercicios verbales y estéticos como se ha indicado tantas veces, incluso insinuado por el mismo autor, sino que tienen una marcada preocupación social y humanista dentro de una época de gran tensión política en Cuba. Lezama expuso a través de sus historias la necesidad imperante de una participación constante del escritor como intelectual en la vida pública de su nación y de Hispanoamérica. En segundo lugar, analizaremos una selección de poemas en prosa de Lezama, Darío y Casal, pues nos interesa comprender cómo estos escritores establecen conexiones utilizando como medio el poema en prosa en Hispanoamérica. El valor de estos vínculos es que mantiene viva una tradición literaria que a su vez enlaza con siguientes generaciones de diversos matices culturales. Lo que aquí nos interesa es explicar la disposición híbrida del discurso narrativo de Lezama en Paradiso y las interesantes conexiones con el poema en prosa, para obtener así un mejor entendimiento de cómo funciona su universo narrativo. Posteriormente abordaremos el tema del compromiso social y la violencia en Lezama, asunto poco estudiado por la crítica que considera a este escritor cubano como un escapista de la realidad social de Cuba, declaración que intentamos refutar. Argumentaremos que la vocación de Lezama es en esencia la de un escritor e intelectual preocupado con los problemas de su comunidad y de su país lo cual se expone palmariamente a lo largo de toda su obra narrativa y poética. En las reflexiones finales del estudio nos interesa señalar que la literatura lezamiana no es simplemente una compilación de citas enciclopédicas sino un proceso de hibridación: conocimiento adquirido, asimilado y distribuido con significado social dentro de su contexto comunitario.

Picture Superiority Effect on Encoding and Reminding
Title
Picture Superiority Effect on Encoding and Reminding
Abstract/Description
Recent literature has demonstrated that if someone studies one list of word pairs followed by another list of word pairs in which the second half of some of the pairs have changed (e.g., they saw “knee-bone” on the first list and “knee-bend” on the second list), this change can remind them of the pair’s presence on the original list and improve memory performance for both of the pairs. Previously, this kind of design would lead researchers to observe interference, which would cause memory...
Show moreRecent literature has demonstrated that if someone studies one list of word pairs followed by another list of word pairs in which the second half of some of the pairs have changed (e.g., they saw “knee-bone” on the first list and “knee-bend” on the second list), this change can remind them of the pair’s presence on the original list and improve memory performance for both of the pairs. Previously, this kind of design would lead researchers to observe interference, which would cause memory performance to suffer; the discovery of the memory enhancing effects of reminders inspired further research to understand how their underlying mechanisms and what makes them more likely to occur. The presented research examines whether picture-word pairs will trigger more remindings than word-word pairs on the presumption that the picture superiority effect will play an important role. The results indicate that participants did experience more remindings for the picture-word pairs than for the word-word pairs and that better memory performance for picture-word pairs is due to a combination of this effect and an encoding effect.
