▼ Female cross-dressing was an extremely popular phenomenon of the Golden Age comedia, appearing in every major playwright’s repertoire. This dissertation argues that Spanish theater’s treatment of the female cross-dresser in the seventeenth century offers a paradigm for understanding the creative self-consciousness that made both early modern society theatrical and early modern art unique. I combine analysis of purely fictional cross-dressing protagonists with an examination of the theatrical discourse surrounding real-life gender-benders such as Eleno/a de Céspdes, Catalina de Erauso, Francisca Baltasara, and Queen Christina of Sweden. While Diego Velazquez’s Las meninas and Miguel de Cervantes’s Don Quijote serve as the prominent examples of seventeenth-century Spanish artistic self-reference in the areas of painting and narrative, respectively, I propose the female cross-dresser as symptomatic of a specifically theatrical self-consciousness that captivated public attention within and outside the theater.

▼ This study analyzes the ever-fluid role of race within the characterization and representation of Peruvians, particularly those of African descent, in twentieth-century Peruvian novels. Employing the theoretical framework of Michael Omi and Howard Winant’s conceptualization of racial formation, I argue that successive generations of Peruvian authors both perpetuate and interrogate socially-constructed notions of race and racialized ideologies through the destabilization of racialized roles, tropes, and imaginaries. This project dissects how novelists challenge socially-constructed identities that become inextricably entangled with race, including gender, sexuality, class, power, morality, and nationality. Texts by Enrique López Albújar, Mario Vargas Llosa, Gregorio Martínez, and Lucía Charún-Illescas utilize historical and individual memory to “look back” into the past and create realities that, intentionally or not, bring race to the fore. Previously “invisibilized” Afro-descendant histories and protagonists are made visible, their literary presence disrupting the normalized associations between physical characteristics and hierarchical binaries such as superior/inferior, moral/immoral, and civilization/barbarism. In destabilizing the fixity of race, Peruvian novelists complicate social roles and ultimately reveal the existential proximity of peoples considered racially distinct. These authors confirm how those who construct and define the racialized boundaries that determine real-world consequences can experience an ideological backlash in which their own racial identities are contested, weakened, and ultimately exposed as constructs themselves.

▼ Defining the culture produced during the Spanish Transition following the Francoist dictatorship as hedonist and apolitical has become one of the most repeated commonplaces in contemporary Spanish cultural studies. By extension, defining the youth of the Transition as politically apathetic has also become a recurrent theme. These conclusions derive from analyses that study exclusively the hegemonic culture of that time. This dissertation argues against both ideas by conducting a comprehensive analysis of the understudied topic of Spanish punk culture. In order to do so, it studies punk as a subcultural formation, a way of life, and a musical style, and focuses on two main topoi: a) Spanish punk's opposition to the way the Transition was carried out and b) Spanish punk's opposition to capitalism and neoliberalism. Combining textual, historical, philosophical, and musicological readings, this dissertation shows that alternative narratives regarding the culture of the Transition can be articulated and that punk represents a determinant cultural glue that kept many political movements together and the cultural axis from which many of the contemporary social movements emerged.

▼ My dissertation addresses the legal, philosophical, theological, social, intellectual, and literary framework around Mateo Alemán’s Guzmán de Alfarache (1599, 1604), which heavily influenced a large number of writers in and out of Spain. I demonstrate that political events caused a series of extreme governmental measures that impacted Spanish society and questioned everyday conceptions of the role of the individual in society. The ontological and legal conflicts that Mateo Aleman recreated in Guzmán de Alfarache are the driving force of the narrative action. Mateo Alemán´s recreation of the topic of Fortune launches the protagonist through a series of adventures that thrust him into a life sentence in the galleys. The whims of fortune set in motion the constant social and economic turmoil represented in the novel. This chaos creates the social imbalance that surrounds and consequently marginalizes Guzmán and numerous other characters. A persistent questioning of legitimacy of state power is in dialog with the fragile standing of the individual in premodern Spanish society. A scenery of fear, persecution, and punishment emerges from the conflict between the picaro and the malfunctioning society. I reconstruct the legal and judicial landscape that prevailed during the last years of the sixteenth century in Spain. I emphasize the parallel between the sociopolitical turbulence during the reign of Philip II and that in Mateo Alemán's masterpiece.

▼ This dissertation contextualizes the formal innovations and social critique of twentieth-century Spanish avant-garde theater by reconstructing two important elements of the nineteenth-century cultural landscape from which they emerged: the rise of modern print culture and the appearance of a vibrant commercial theater industry. The first chapter examines theoretical concepts from cultural studies and media studies to consider how evolving reading and viewing practices in Spain engendered new forms of social and cultural engagement with modernity. Chapter two explores how newspapers and commercial theater works adopted a fragmentary aesthetic that embodied the emerging realities of the modern, industrialized city and performed new modes of social interaction and emerging narratives of Spanish nationalism. The third chapter takes the illustrious career of Carlos Arniches as a case study of the interconnections between the commercial and artistic theater, arguing that his later work utilizes the stereotypes and facile comicity of the commercial theater as the basis for a more thoughtful critique of the dehumanizing tendencies of modern society. The fourth chapter considers Ramón del Valle-Inclán’s aggressive, parodic reworking of popular dramatic forms in his idiosyncratic esperpento and contends that his distorted, grotesque representation of contemporary Spain emerges from a broader denunciation of the manipulative powers of contemporary mass media. This study concludes with a reflection on directions that future studies of the relationships between mass media, textual practices, performing arts, and popular entertainment might take through a brief consideration of the lasting legacy of the nineteenth-century commercial stage in cinema and socially-engaged theater in Spain through the 1970s. In the final analysis, media are a conduit of human interaction and arise to meet the social needs of a population in a given historical moment. By bringing our examinations of drama into contact with the broader contours of modern media culture, we see how the performing arts fit within a much larger cultural process.

▼ This dissertation explores both the Hispanic and Anglo-American modernist traditions from the common standpoint of the palimpsest. Central to the diverse body of modernist writings is the appropriation of French symbolism, the rewriting of tradition, and the adaptation of these factors as a space for identity construction. My project involves a comparative study of the trope of the palimpsest in the poetics of R. Darío (1867-1916), T. S. Eliot (1888-1965), P. Gimferrer (b. 1945), and L. A. de Villena (b. 1951), and examines how these poets engage in a modernist and neo-modernist rewriting of a vast and universal literary heritage. By adapting the symbolist model of the revalidation of tradition, these poets articulate strong critiques of national and international culture during the tumultuous turn-of-the-century period and, later, during the 1970s in Francoist Spain. They create a kind of literature and a type of intellectual that emerges from the literary and cultural conformism that defines the artistic and social movements that surround them, reflecting on modernist modes of aesthetic production that defy the limitations of post-romanticism and socio-realistic poetry. In my dissertation, I assert that the articulation of (neo)modernist poetics of the appropriation of tradition and symbolism is central to the development of a culture of aesthetic alternative and its resistance against exhausted modes of artistic representation.
By reading a variety of poetic texts and essays, Modernist Palimpsests contributes to an understanding of the role played by overwriting and identity construction in the formation of global modernisms’ multidisciplinary landscape.

▼ Esta trabajo de investigación tiene como origen la identificación dentro de las letras contemporáneas españolas de una serie de obras que comparten dentro de su temática central el extravío existencial del sujeto contemporáneo. Los textos aquí analizados de Cristina Fernández Cubas, Enrique Vila-Matas y Pablo d’Ors toman como punto de partida la representación de la odisea trágica de nuestra época. La falta de fundamento sobre el que erigir cualquier sentido de totalidad, la experiencia del abismo al que se ve arrojado el sujeto contemporáneo tras el radical ataque al edificio de la metafísica, la amenaza del nihilismo, la pérdida del asombro —en cuanto respuesta originaria ante el misterio de la existencia—, así como la dificultad de encontrar un hogar desde el que construir una identidad estable, pasan a ser asuntos fundamentales en estas obras. Por su compromiso con estas cuestiones, he recurrido asiduamente a los desarrollos teóricos del pensador Eugenio Trías, destacando por su inestimable contribución a mi planteamiento: su distinción entre cultura dramática y cultura trágica, su topología de cercos, sus desarrollos en torno a la noción de límite, así como sus premisas sobre la condición trágico-fronteriza del ser humano. Si la condición trágica de desarraigo del individuo contemporáneo supone el germen de mi análisis, vislumbrar a través de la lectura de estos textos una alternativa a la cosmovisión nihilista de la posmodernidad constituye su principal meta. Estos narradores, cada uno dentro de las particularidades de sus universos estéticos, no se detienen en la mera plasmación de la condición trágica y responden a la situación contemporánea resistiéndose a caer en el sinsentido al que aparece abocar el relativismo y nihilismo de la posmodernidad.

▼ This dissertation uses theoretical models of cultural studies to examine social factors that contribute to the development of the novel in early modern Spain and beyond. Documents from the conquest of the Americas provide a historical frame for understanding how authors found ways to subvert hegemony in an age of rigorous censorship and inquisitorial restrictions. Analysis of the picaresque genre focuses on strategies through which the anonymous Lazarillo de Tormes and Mateo Alemán’s Guzmán de Alfarache present the reappropriation of conventional discourse as a means of justifying social mobility. A study of Don Quixote punctuates the thesis that Sancho Panza’s combination of a proto-capitalist outlook with the language of knight errantry affects the novel’s ideology and highlights its metafictional nature. As memórias póstumas de Brás Cubas by the Brazilian author Machado de Assis and Mala onda by Alberto Fuguet of Chile show that similar socio-political issues contribute to contemporary trends in narrative fiction.

▼ This dissertation explores a trend in twenty-first century works by a diverse group of young Latin American and Spanish writers and filmmakers who, regardless of their country of origin and national identity, seem moved by a common motive. They show a keen interest in revisiting—and subverting—the Bildungsroman genre in their depiction of young (anti)heroes who embark on diverse types of journeys in search of meaning and self-realization, which nevertheless result in a feeling of homelessness and alienation. I focus on both the continuities and the ruptures between the traditional European Bildungsroman model, along with some of its versions written in Hispanic regions in the twentieth century, and coming of age tales of the twenty-first century. Issues of identity, self-formation, knowledge, consciousness, and the possibility to reach full maturity were at the aesthetic core of the canonical model, while the more recent Hispanic fictions reflect on the major shift in the postmodern period that puts all of those issues into question, and points to the futility of any identity quest in an increasingly globalized world. Why would artists be interested in reviving a genre that seems no longer relevant? While it is not surprising that these characters will encounter serious difficulties as they attempt to accomplish integration, postmodern skepticism does not go unchallenged in these works. I argue that, far from fostering permanent hopelessness, adversity compels these characters to envision alternative ways to find a meaningful place in the world. These include cultivating personal and community relationships and attempting to rescue lost connections with the past, as alternatives to a collapsing neoliberal global model, which has proven to fail human expectations. I undertake a comparative approach across the examined works, and the links among them lead me to reflect on the role of the Bildungsroman today, in terms of what it might reveal about twenty-first century artists, their views on their societies, and their unparalleled takes on identity, self-knowledge, and belonging. Ultimately, the dissertation offers a reflection on what the postmodern coming of age fictions are telling us about the state of literature and film as art in a globalized, commoditized world.

▼ 1492 is an important date in world history because it is the year that changed the fate of the Jews of the Iberian Peninsula. Following the Edict of Expulsion imposed by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain, Jews who refused to convert to Catholicism sought refuge in diverse countries of Europe and North Africa, leaving behind their homeland in order to preserve their Jewish faith and cultural heritage. Those expelled Jews were called Sephardic Jews. Another group, those who could not leave behind their memories, remained in Spain, changing their faith and thus becoming conversos (converts). “Caras de España y de la Diáspora sefardita” explores the life of the Spanish Jews in socio-cultural, literary, and historical contexts before and after their expulsion, in Spain and in the Sephardic Diaspora. I argue that conversos and the Sephardic Jews in the Diaspora were part of completely opposite realities and social perceptions. Converts continued to be part of the anti-Semitic perceptions that originated during the medieval era and escalated in the fourteenth century and after. On the other hand, Sephardic Jews, away from social prejudices, often expressed themselves freely in cultural and literary environments. This dissertation studies these two realities in complete juxtaposition from different perspectives (i.e., faces, or caras): perception of the conversos in Spanish society, Sephardic Jews in Ottoman lands, and the conversos within Spain. I reconsider literature as the reflection of social perceptions and personal opinions. To offer a better portrait of this tragic and historical event, I refer to various texts of Spanish and Sephardic literature: La vara de Yehudah (Selomoh ibn Verga), Crónica de los Reyes otomanos (Moses ben Baruch Almosnino), El viaje de Turquía (Cristóbal de Villalón), Las paces de los reyes y judía de Toledo, El niño inocente de la Guardía (Lope de Vega), and El Diablo cojuelo (Luis Vélez de Guevara).

▼ This dissertation investigates the representation of music in early modern Spanish and colonial Latin American literature. It takes a historicist approach, exploring the cultural connectedness of two central concepts: musical humanism (the Renaissance rebirth of Neoplatonic theory, including the Harmony of the Spheres and the power of music to influence human emotions) and imperial providentialism (the belief that God favored the Spanish Empire with divine providence). Using these two ideologies as a basis for interpreting the literary depiction of music, the dissertation argues that the humanistic concept of the power of music becomes intertwined with the power of empire. The interaction of these ideas can be observed in 1) the sixteenth-century music books for the vihuela, 2) the early seventeenth-century chronicles of colonial history by Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala and the Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, and 3) the mid-seventeenth-century musical theater of the playwright Pedro Calderón de la Barca. In these examples, the “true” music of Catholic Spain is imbued with the power to revive the glories of Rome in a Christian empire by erasing the presence of Jewish and Moorish music, to subjugate (or defend) indigenous peoples and their traditions in the New World conquest, and to promote harmony of the four continents under the guiding gaze of a powerful Baroque monarch. In each case, both Renaissance music and the Spanish Empire are portrayed as the heirs of the classical tradition, displaying an ideological view of the power of music.

▼ After the groundbreaking invention of the printing press, which led to the creation of a burgeoning literary market, the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries saw an exceptional increase in the production of literature about criminals and the underworld across Europe. This was particularly intense in the cases of England, with the appearance of popular genres such as the jest-book and the rogue pamphlet, and Spain, where picaresque literature, a genre that is instrumental to the study of the history of the novel, first came to fruition. This dissertation explores the intertextual dialogue in which English and Spanish authors of rogue texts engaged in the early modern period. The study attempts to integrate the English and Spanish traditions under the all-inclusive umbrella term of “rogue literature,” which will facilitate a more comprehensive understanding of two traditions that would prove highly influential even into the present day. In all the texts considered here, the authors create diverse and often antithetical images of the literary figure of the rogue that are decisively influenced by considerations such as each author’s ideology, literary conception, and political agenda. Moreover, this study analyzes the different ways in which Spanish writers of rogue literature introduced elements akin to those found in English rogue pamphlets into their works, reworking and modifying them in order to suit their own purposes. By taking two disparate Spanish picaresque texts—Miguel de Cervantes’s exemplary novella Rinconete y Cortadillo (1613) and Dr. Carlos García’s lesser-known La desordenada codicia de los bienes ajenos (1619)—as cases in point, the dissertation integrates two literary traditions that can be more thoroughly understood when viewed in the light of one another.

▼ This dissertation focuses on the representations of the human body in versions of the Histoires tragiques written between 1559 and 1648 by Pierre Boaistuau, François de Rosset, and Jean-Pierre Camus. Within the framework of these three authors this study examines the tales covering demonic possession, demonic pacts, bodily mutilation, and corpses that appear against the backdrop of early modern medical discoveries and decades of violence stemming from the religious wars. I analyze the results of sins as actualized on the human body and follow Michel Foucault’s theories on punishment, torture, and confinement to illustrate the locus of control unified in church and state, that while threatened by divisive factors, is mirrored and promoted in the Histoires tragiques. I outline the correspondence between the corporeal representations of the Histoires tragiques and the early modern medical, political, and religious evolution.
The Histoires tragiques are violent and gory tales full of demons, bloodshed and torture. While the authors propose that the tales are written for moral edification, their grisly content is disturbingly fascinating and a precursor to the fantastique and horror literary genres. The common thread throughout all versions is a warning against the dangers of unbridled passion. In the tales, the body becomes a text of sorts, through which we can explore and examine the literary relationship with the times in which it was produced as it is marked, tortured, possessed, or dismembered.

▼ In the early modern period, theater thrived in convents across Spain and Portugal. This dissertation takes a closer look at the phenomenon through the lens of spatial theory and theorists such as Henri LeFebvre, Michel de Certeau, and
Edward Soja, who insist that space is both place and practice. The space of the convent, then, informed the works that the nuns wrote and performed within its walls. It also allowed feminist elements and subtle resistance to patriarchal norms to thrive in the works of Sor Marcela de San Félix, Sor Cecilia del Nacimiento, Sor María de San Alberto, Sor Maria do Ceo, and Sor Violante do Ceo. In their works, we find new versions of classic theatrical forms, the presence of a tradition of women writers combatting the anxiety of authorship, strong Marian figures who deflect the male gaze, and groundbreaking roles for women not found extramuros.
Although the dramatic works of these women do not generally figure in the canon of Golden Age Iberian literature, they point to a unique and rich theatrical tradition that paralleled the enormously popular secular theater of the day, the comedia nueva of Lope de Vega and of his followers and successors. The convent space, both protective and restrictive, guaranteed that early modern Iberian nuns could defy societal expectations and control. Within the walls of the convent, religious women enjoyed experiences that they would not have had in the secular world. In the cloister, they freely wrote, acted, and directed, and the theater that they produced evidences a unique and distinctive dramatic tradition that deserves a place in the classical literary canon of Spain and Portugal.

▼ A comparative study of Bernardo Bertolucci’s cinematic adaptation of Jorge Luis Borges’ short story, “The Theme of the Traitor and the Hero” and Federico Fellini’s film based on Edgar Allan Poe’s “Never bet the Devil Your Head,” this thesis approaches such themes as space, subjectivity, narration, and the role of the viewer through the analytical framework of suture theory. In examining Bertolucci’s construction of three particular spaces—the labyrinth, the monument, and the theater—in the film The Spider’s Stratagem, I address how the active role imposed on Borges’ reader is transformed into cinematic subjectivity through Bertolucci’s formal choices, considering the effects of failed suturing on the subjective interpretation and reception of the film. The second half of the study builds upon the notion of unsutured subjectivity proposed in the first chapter, and explores the shift from third- to first-person narration in Fellini’s Toby Dammit. In addition to tracing each protagonist’s capacity for linguistic discourse, I suggest that in adapting the narrative structures that present the literary Toby and his transformation, Fellini gives us a protagonist whose fall from language demonstrates in his choice of the physical world over verbal abstraction, image over word, the process of adaptation itself.

▼ This study examines the cultural cross-pollination occurring between Spain and
Portugal during the early modern period. More specifically, it argues that a number of
Portuguese authors––including Manuel de Faria e Sousa, Ângela de Azevedo, Jacinto
Cordeiro, and António de Sousa de Macedo––used their proficiency in Spanish to
articulate and spread a collective sense of national identity throughout the Castilianized
peninsula and Europe. Despite emerging from an ambiguous state of social, political, and
cultural hybridity, these Portuguese writers clearly identified with and claimed allegiance
to their native land. Overall, this investigation attempts to situate Portuguese literature
written in Spanish within the greater literary production of the time and reappraise a body
of works that uniquely addresses the intersection of language, literature, and politics on
the early modern Iberian landscape.

▼ This study examines the tensions and variations of the surrealist aesthetic in Spain, specifically in the late poetic, dramatic, and graphic works of the Spanish poet Federico García Lorca. While many intellectuals recognize that the application of surrealist precepts in Spain is problematic on many levels, my research investigates what contemporary art critics have called “dissident,” “ethnographic,” or “undercover” surrealism—variations of surrealism rooted in the theories of the renegade French intellectual Georges Bataille. In the Spanish context, Bataille’s early writings (which appeared in the dissident surrealist review Documents), including his exposition on formlessness, base matter, putrefaction, and mutilation, offer a de-sublimated reading of surrealism and succinctly capture the emptiness and anguish that are evident in many strands of Spanish poetic expression in the second and third decades of the twentieth century.
Initially, I focus on the performative nature of Bataillean formlessness [informe] and the manner in which aesthetic, thematic, and structural manifestations of the formless in Lorca’s work critique and undermine social, cultural, and artistic conventions. Reading Lorca’s “surrealist” texts (including Poeta en Nueva York, Viaje a la luna, El público, and others) through the Bataillean lens offers an innovative and relevant approach to surrealist variations in Spain which focus on the base and more primal drives that, in addition to the sublimatory goals of Bretonian surrealism, were also evident in the Spanish avant-garde. As such, the reworking of the surreal which I propose rethinks the avant-garde in Spain and reconsiders Lorca’s involvement therein. Additionally, my reading of Lorca and Bataille focuses on the ethical implications that are recognized in their interest in poetry and in their use of spaces of informe. In essence, the poetic utterance is treated as a site open to otherness and to the expression of concerns both social and aesthetic.

▼ This project explores the mechanisms of appropriation and re-elaboration of the metropolitan Baroque discourse by educated criollos in Colonial Peruvian society. Examining Juan de Espinosa Medrano’s works (which include a drama, sermons and the Apologético en favor de Góngora) under the concept of imitatio, I have adopted an original theoretical approach to explain the ambivalent relationship between Spanish models and the cultural production of the New World. Espinosa Medrano writes an ensemble of texts that show his capacity to master the metropolitan literary code, while simultaneously undermining the natural preeminence of Spanish intellectuals over the colonized.

▼ The theater of Gabriel Téllez, better known as Tirso de Molina, frequently contains elements of female disguise and cross-dressing. In this study, the author examines four plays by Tirso de Molina in which female disguise is central to the plot. (La celosa de sí misma, El celoso prudente, Don Gil de las calzas verdes and El amor médico) In these texts, the use of female disguise is a means by which the female character is able to circumvent the conventions of society and gain a freedom to act that would otherwise be impossible. The danger that arises from this use of disguise is twofold. The first is the possibility of the premature revelation of the disguise. The second is that the character may lose herself in the disguise and act against her own interests. Both are examined here. Despite the potential dangers of disguise, in each play Tirso de Molina creates a strong female character who is able to manipulate events to achieve her goals. The author makes use of Jungian terminology and Foucauldian concepts of power and observation to examine the use of female disguise and cross-dressing as a power strategy, rather than in terms of sexuality, as is common in Lacanian approaches. Disguise in these plays is revealed to be a means to correct injustices and to achieve results that would otherwise be unobtainable.

▼ In 1909, Vicente Blasco Ibáñez (1867-1928), a Spanish journalist, radical politician and acclaimed realist and naturalist writer, made a trip to Argentina that would transform him into an internationalist and separate him from the inwardly nationalistic focus of movements such as the Generación del 98 and Novecentismo. His Argentine work, the novels Los argonautas (1913-1914) and La tierra de todos (1922) as well as some speeches, was met by myopic, ethnocentric criticism in Spain – exacerbated later by Franco’s censorship. My project includes an original survey of this poorly-understood period and its foundation in modern nationalism, and establishes it as the ideological basis of all of his subsequent writing. Moreover, it presents a radical re-definition of his author as a global figure and demonstrates that he is one of the most international, visionary, iconoclastic, and modern writers of his time.
In Argentina, Blasco joined the most important movements of the so-called Literature of the Disaster (“The Generation of 98,” “Regenerationism,” and “Hispanoamericanism”) in promoting Spain as a country determined to overcome its leyenda negra (the Black Legend). However, in the face of the concentration of these movements on el dolor de España (Spain’s grief), he added an aspect of internationalism to these ideas and promoted an optimistic nationalism of the masses. Furthermore, Blasco exploited, more than any of his contemporaries, the growing animosity among the Latin American ruling class against British and North American materialism and utilitarism in favor of Spain’s cultural prestige. He understood as no other of his generation that his contribution toward the restoration of the nation would involve a campaign for a Spanish-Creole alliance that would bring about a shared identity that reached beyond national borders. In fact this study reveals for the first time the profound the ways Blasco’s Argentine work overlaps with that of Argentina’s “Generation of the Century” – writers and champions of the Creole cause” – particularly Manuel Gálvez and Ricardo Rojas. In addition, it demonstrates that Blasco Ibáñez’s affinities with the Creole cause and its lucrative consequences are what initiated the deeply-entrenched and widely-perpetuated misinterpretation of his post-1909 writing.

▼ Mario Vargas Llosa’s socio-political concerns are woven into the fabric of his creative narratives. Despite an impressive corpus of criticism on the recent Nobel Prize laureate’s writings, scholarship has not fully recognized the import of his evolving concept of literature. My approach is unique in that it evaluates the Peruvian’s novels, essays, and life history through his definition of literature and its role in society. Through an analysis of Vargas Llosa’s literary theories, I contend that his earliest descriptions of literature as revolution have been replaced by more recent commentaries on writing as a secondary course of action toward socio-political reform. I also argue that the closer Vargas Llosa comes to politics in his personal life, the more his literature diverts from his former notions of its function in society. My dissertation, therefore, concludes that a series of literary and political disillusionments resulted in a significant transition in Vargas Llosa’s concept of literature from its original revolutionary character in the 1960s to a more subdued role at present as the guardian of cultural memory.

▼ In this dissertation, I analyze literary texts deemed as obscene and the inquisitorial documentation against them in transatlantic Spain during the early modern period, in order to argue that obscenity and censorship are two sides of the same coin. Contrary to popular belief, obscenity does not always challenge hegemony. Rather, it often reinforces repression and intolerance. Conversely, censorship reproduces the same obscenity that it condemns by publicizing it and mirroring the sexual excitement of obscene discourse. By examining works written by Luis de Góngora, Francisco de Quevedo, Nicolás Fernández de Moratín, Félix María de Samaniego, Leandro Fernández de Moratín, Tomás de Iriarte, Juan Meléndez Valdés, as well as anonymous texts and folksongs such as “Chuchumbé” and “Jarabe gatuno,” I identify how femaleness, sexual deviance, blackness, and social class have played a major role in the qualification of the obscene. Drawing from Jacques Rancière’s approach to the collusion between aesthetics and politics, I juxtapose the poetics and politics of “obscene” texts with the poetics and politics of censorial documents with the aim of showing how these two seemingly opposite discourses both intersect and work against each other. In doing so, this project contributes to studies on transatlantic Spain by addressing the ambivalent and complementary relationship between discipline and deviance, and, on a wider scale, to current feminist debates on the censorship of obscenity and on freedom of speech.

▼ In Don Quixote, Cervantes captivates the reader with an unattainable Dulcinea, and he also presents to the reader a parade of female characters from a broad range of social, cultural, and economic backgrounds to portray real women, not an imagined lady. He establishes a poetic balance by mixing the imagined lady with a variety of other women: Muslim ladies, a duchess, farm girls, shepherdesses, warriors, ladies and prostitutes, victims and executioners, the submissive and the rebellious, the server and the served, the aristocrat and the plebeian, all of them under the same narrative mantle. In Don Quixote, women play a key position, from an esthetic and artistic point of view, which contributes to the different levels of rhetoric within the discourse. It is precisely the fiction of the text, which makes the reader rediscover the imminent reality. The inverisimilitude (the unlikely) locates the reader in the field of verisimilitude (the likely).
The universe of women in this text provide us with an extensive selection: Aldonza Lorenzo, Marcela, Maritornes, Luscinda, Dorotea, Micomicona, Camila, Zoraida, Clara de Viedma, Leandra, Teresa Panza, Quiteria, Altisidora, Doña Rodríguez, the women of Barataria, Sanchica, Claudia Jerónima, Ana Félix, and many others. I have fashioned four chapters based on the following characters: Marcela, Zoraida, Dorotea, and the duchess. I have analyzed their voices in this text according to their narrative position, the level of fiction and its function within its discursive frame, and the rhetorical direction within the work. Also, the study of the female first names and/or surnames will show that the author took time and effort to select them as a part of his construction of body of the work.

▼ This study explores the criollo voice present in four of Juan Ruiz de Alarcón’s plays. Informed by the most recent studies on criollo literature, particularly of 17th-century writers born in New Spain, as José Antonio Mazotti’s and Mabel Moraña’s, I look into the strategies that Ruiz de Alarcón uses to introduce a criollo perspective in his plays. One relevant consideration in this study is the fact that the playwright was writing a product to be consumed by peninsular audiences unaware in some instances, indifferent and unconcerned in others about the issues that preoccupied the Spanish population of the American colonies. I focus on Ruiz de Alarcón’s use of the space of the popular comedia and common tropes of the baroque to reivindicate the colonial white population, argue in their favor, and articulate their concerns.

▼ In my dissertation I rethink the relationship between the nation and literature of nineteenth century Mexico by establishing an “imaginary dialogue” among the Mexican writers Servando Teresa de Mier (1765-1827) and Ignacio Manuel Altamirano (1834-1893). My general goal is to better understand the evolution of the great literary movements of this period: romanticismo, costumbrismo, and modernismo. The development of the Mexican literature and nation can be observed in its great complexity in the works written by criollo and mestizo intellectuals during the nineteenth century. Mier and Altamirano disseminated liberal political, cultural, and economic ideals in their texts, which I understand as political national programs or utopias. The uniqueness of their lives and writings; however, is that they experienced an exile that forced them to think the nation from a twofold political and historical standpoint. The effect of this perspective changed Mier’s and Altamirano’s literary styles, and in so doing, it also prepared the ground for the literature written after them. Mier moved from an enlightened way of writing, characteristic of his early works, to a Romantic narrative that he developed in his "Memoirs" (1817-21). Altamirano evolved from the creation of typical Romantic narratives, which prevailed in almost all of his novels, to the exploration of new literary strategies in "Atenea" (1889) —an autobiographical novel that I have placed on the Latin American modernista movement. In the conclusion, I argue that the literary-ideological turn that Altamirano developed in "Atenea" influenced the writers of the “Ateneo de México.” I mainly refer to Mariano Azuela (1873-1952), José Vasconcelos (1882-1959), and Alfonso Reyes (1889-1959)—intellectuals that continued the tradition of writing from exile and urged the understanding of Mexico as part of an interrelated world.

▼ Throughout the decades of the 1970s and 1980s, literature written by Latin American women underwent a uniquely enriching narrative renovation. A preference for the theme of the erotic drove this process, and provided the primary source of power and the most salient characteristics of the texts in question. Three Latin American women writers from the last decades of the twentieth century who can be classified as representatives of this literary renaissance are Brazilian novelist Márcia Denser, Chilean writer Diamela Eltit, and Uruguayan novelist and poet Cristina Peri Rossi. In my dissertation I examine three novels from these authors that show their common interest in the theme of women’s sexuality as a means to articulate a variety of attitudes, from the uneasiness caused by the rigidity of patriarchal norms and the repression of political regimes to the anxiety and anguish of daily life and the difficulty and complexity of human relationships. The novels are Denser’s Animal dos motéis (1981), Eltit’s Lumpérica (1983) and Peri Rossi’s Solitario de amor (1988). In these texts, the woman’s erotic desire is presented as a subversive act in which the woman appropriates power with the purpose of proposing not only new patterns of sexual behavior but also new political and cultural values and models that differ from those belonging to the male domain. As a comparatist, my work is to find differences as well. Thus, my research has also aimed to differentiate the treatment of eroticism in the fiction of Denser, Eltit, and Peri Rossi by contending that different narrative styles and perspectives toward female sexuality reveal the heterogeneity of the erotic imagination in Latin American women’s prose.

▼ This study examines the comic vision of Miguel de Cervantes as manifested in his masterpiece, Don Quixote de la Mancha. Employing theories stemming principally from Mikhail Bakhtin and Michel Foucault, I look at how Cervantes creates humor in his novel and how, in turn, his novel fits into the long tradition of comic literature. The heart of this study is Cervantes’s use of carnivalesque laughter and how it showcases the various cultural identities related to the Spanish Baroque. I focus on reading Don Quixote as forming part of the history of Menippean satire and likewise its relationship to carnivalesque humor. This type of humor intimates the defense of a different type of world that is not dominated by one particular identity or power (whether political, philosophical, religious, or even literary) and as a result is destabilizing in nature. Journey is an essential characteristic to both carnivalesque laughter and Menippean satire, because it necessitates displacement as well as creates spaces for the mixing and clashing of identities. Because it is also a central motif throughout Don Quixote, I examine its effect on the text and how it functions to create different types of humor. The Avellaneda-Cervantes dynamic is another important aspect in understanding the direction of comicality in Don Quixote, in that Cervantes’s humor was multi-directional whereas Avellaneda’s tended to accentuate laughter emanating from the top down. Avellaneda represents the type of humor associated with hierarchy and power whereas Cervantes’s has leveled the playing field. I not only analyze the authors’ differences with regard to comic strategies, but emphasize the importance of reading both works in order to better understand how Cervantes’s comic vision incorporates carnivalesque laughter and therefore enriches his text. The relationship between madness and laughter is another avenue of discussion in this study and I investigate the historical and ethical dimensions of laughter, especially with regard to madness from the vantage point of Erasmus and Humanism.
