▼ This thesis explores collective memories of Antonio Maceo and changing ideals of nation and identity in the Cuban republic. Among the most important military leaders in the Wars of Independence, Maceo, as a Cuban of color, entered popular memory at the intersection of race, identity and the political origins of the nation. In the years following his 1896 death, memories of Antonio Maceo and other figures of the independence movement took shape as collective memories around which Cubans articulated and debated visions of nationhood. Maceo became a powerful tool both for those seeking to legitimate the republican social order and for those that condemned persistent inequality and corruption. What Cubans remembered and celebrated of Maceo, and which memories became dominant, can illuminate the ideals and anxieties that shaped how Cubans imagined and contested the meaning of the nation through the upheavals of independence, republic, and revolution.

▼ The objective of this thesis is to study the manner in which power was written onto the physical bodies of women as well as conveyed through artistic renditions of them in the colonial period in Peru. The research was conducted across three distinct eras: the early, middle, and late colonial periods, to determine variances in power in the colony across time while also observing the manner in which women's bodies constructed and communicated these variances. The core argument of this study is that the dynamics of colonial power can be identified through studying the discourse surrounding the physical attributes and appearances of women in Peruvian society. This discourse employed female bodies in an effort to regulate the social order of the colony. Peruvian women came to symbolize race, ethnic, class, and gender relations, as such and their physical bodies were utilized to formulate the boundaries of the body politic during the colonial era.

▼ Comparing cases of rape and non-sexual assault in late colonial Guatemala reveal the legal, intellectual and social milieu of the early nineteenth century. Based on the <i>Siete Partidas</i>, and medieval judicial culture, late colonial law allowed litigants of rape more flexibility to negotiate honor and punishment than did records of non-sexual assault. Litigants of non-sexual assault illustrated the importance of honor on a daily basis. For those involved in cases of rape, honor became the central theme debated during the length of the trials. Resulting from how jurists defined rape in the late colonial era, in trials of rape, court officials allowed convicted defendants more flexibility, than those found guilty of non-sexual assault, to negotiate punishment.

Sacred Cause, Divine Republic| A History of Nationhood, Religion, and War in Nineteenth-Century Paraguay, 1850 – 1870.
Degree: 2012, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

▼ Nineteenth-century Paraguay was a provincial backwater of the shattered Spanish colonial empire, a country that had forged its independence under the rule of autocrats, a country where most people spoke Guaraní, a vernacular of indigenous origins. From 1864 to 1870, Paraguay went to war with the Triple Alliance of Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay. The conflict left Paraguay occupied by foreign armies and devastated with over half its population lost. This dissertation explores a history of state formation, religion, and war in the country before and during this catastrophic time. In particular, the dissertation reflects on how colonial religion helped to produce formative experiences of modern nationhood and citizenship. Conventional interpretations of Latin American history still generally regard the consolidation of nation-states as a starkly secular development. This study questions that formulation and considers how clergy and institutional practices of the Church actually articulated early expressions of nationhood. The dissertation follows how years before the conflict the ruling autocratic regime in the country revived the provincial church and its traditional moral order as recovered vestiges of Spanish imperial sovereignty and reassembled them within a framework of postcolonial republican rule. The sort of pious submission once demanded of royal subjects increasingly defined the rights and duties of republican citizenship. Divine-right mandates and popular sovereignty merged as the ideological foundation of political authority. Moreover fulfilling the sacred obligations of the patriarchal family surged as the primary manifestation of civic virtue. The conflation of values old and new made modern ideas of the republic profoundly, and often painfully, familiar in the everyday lives of Paraguayans. This dissertation thus contends that postcolonial Paraguayans—mostly illiterate, Guaraní-speaking peasants—confronted in their lives a peculiar strain of republican nationalism steeped in religion and articulated in their own language. And, it argues, this engagement pushed them to struggle to extraordinary lengths during the war. The sources utilized range from sermons and local government correspondence, to judicial records of ecclesiastical divorce and suicide, as well as Guaraní-language propaganda produced by the state during the war.

▼ During the last half of the nineteenth century, Mexico City residents started to experience an increase in the frequency and intensity of fires. Residents cited the presence of fossil fuels, the introduction of large factories and electrical apparatuses, and the growing population density as the primary reasons that urban fires became more prevalent. Fire hazards acted as catalysts for social change in Mexico's capital. They created a ripple effect across society, altering everything from city planning to medical advancements to business endeavors, shaping the ways that people experienced a period of significant urban growth. Fire forced people to adjust the ways that they lived their lives, the ways that they conducted business, and the ways that they thought about their city. Rather than looking at one great fire, this study contributes to a growing branch of disaster studies that examines the effects of much smaller, but far more frequent hazards. By drawing on the experiences of residents from different social groups (business owners, firemen, engineers, city officials, entrepreneurs, insurance agents, and physicians), this study shows how residents reacted differently to fire and how they feared and coped with the nearly constant presence of risk. Prevailing historiography of this time period in Mexico is often characterized by studies of the top-down projects of the dictator Porfirio Diaz, but this project shows how social actors collectively transformed their city in response to an environmental threat.

▼ Miguel Alemán, who in 1946 became the first civilian president to represent Mexico's official revolutionary party, ushered into national office a new generation of university-educated professional politicians. Nicknamed the "<i>cachorros</i> (puppies) of the revolution," these leaders were dismissed as slick college boys by their opponents. Despite this objection, the rise to power of this new cadre represented a major turning point in the nation's political history. The prior ruling generation, composed of military officers who had faced calamitous violence during the Revolution, had carried out a decades-long social program that sought to address social-economic inequalities, redistribute resources, and draw previously marginalized groups into a politically, culturally, and ethnically unified nation. The members of the Alemán administration, by contrast, dedicated federal resources to promoting industrial development by implementing protectionist measures and constructing massive public works. Powerful hydroelectric dams and expansive irrigation networks supported large-scale commercial agriculture, while ambitious urban projects, including modernist housing complexes, planned suburbs, and the sprawling University City, symbolized the government's middle-class orientation. Despite these advances, their program came with high social costs: suspended redistributive policies and suppressed political liberties led many to accuse them of abandoning the legacy of social revolution they had inherited, an accusation bolstered by rampant corruption. While their policies fomented impressive economic growth over the next three decades, their focus on urban industry ultimately contributed to a debt crisis and a capital city overburdened by rapid inward migration. This controversial policy agenda and ambivalent legacy reflected their collective social formation. Their experiences as politically active students and as career politicians inculcated a sense of pragmatism that set them apart from their military predecessors. Once in office, Alemán and his colleagues exploited the geopolitical circumstances of the early Cold War period to solicit foreign loans as well as private investment, especially from the United States. These leaders fashioned a new image of the ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). Carlos Denegri, a journalist during the Alemán years, captured the essence of this transformation best: "The Revolution," he lamented, "has gotten off its horse and into a Cadillac."

▼ The object of this study is national histories written by Mexican liberals in the second half of the nineteenth century, which are treated as a complex set of historical and narrative relations between liberalism, nationalism and the emergence of
history as a rigorous discipline in Mexico. The figures treated in the study include José Fernando Ramírez (1804-1871), Guillermo Prieto (1818-1897), Manuel Payno (1820-1894), José María Vigil (1829-1909), Ignacio Manuel Altamirano (1834-1893), Alfredo Chavero (1841-1906), and Justo Sierra (1848-1912). The general thesis is that the emergence of Mexican
history as an official discipline is the product of nineteenth-century political and ideological struggles among liberal intellectuals occupying disparate factions vying for state power. It argues that the disciplinization of Mexican
history, as a scientific practice, is synonymous with the narrative construction of a privileged historical
subject and protagonist: the Nation. Central to the argument of the thesis is that the achievement of an official state narrative of the nation constituted an act of de-politicization that effectively erased the intelligibility of the political struggles within Mexican liberalism. As a result of the success of this process of de-politicization, it has become difficult to understand the historical dynamics of nineteenth century Mexican liberalism and the nature of political struggles within and among competing liberal visions. This study argues that examining and critically engaging with a set of historical narratives and ideas about
history by these prominent Mexican liberals provides a conducting thread to a reconsideration of Mexican liberalism and a more dynamic and nuanced understanding of its
history, one that might contribute to a re-politicizing of the nineteenth century. This restoration of political dynamics allows us to see Mexican
history as composed of a dispersal or multiplicity of various competing factions and visions that cannot be contained within a representational space defined by the binary of modernity and tradition.

▼ Aqu y All is a 22-minute experimental documentary that reflects on family as an emotional system that operates across generations by focusing on the passing of time, the possibilities of remembering and the construction of space as an ongoing historical and subjective process. The film creates an impressionistic tapestry that weaves the historical tension of racial identity in Colombia with the complexity of family dynamics between my grandparents, my father and his siblings during their time together in Chipaque, a small town in Colombia.
I began this project with the intention to trace the echoes of violence in Chipaque between the 40s and 50s based on stories that my paternal grandfather used to tell. As I was doing preliminary interviews, I became aware that in a way I was chasing my grandparents shadow, as they have both passed away. Then, the house where my father and his siblings grew up was sold. This development prompted me to refocus the film and make a more personal and intimate exploration of the concept of family bonds and the idea of home.
A type of cognitive map that works as a family portrait, the film juxtaposes colour 16mm images, black and white video footage and photos from the familys archive with an immersive sound design and a diaristic use of text to illustrate the impossibility of looking at the past as a fixed, solid and understandable dimension. Weaving fragments of private and public spaces, gestures, voices and phrases, the film draws from the tradition of experimental cinema to create an intimate audiovisual site of personal and collective memory in which the beauty and the pain from both the past and the present co-exist simultaneously.

▼ Cette thèse analyse la construction des identités autochtones dans la société urbaine de San Luis Potosí, pendant une période de quarante ans, soit de l'arrivée des Tlaxcaltèques en 1591 jusqu'en 1630. L'établissement des groupes autochtones dans la ville se déroula en deux étapes correspondant à la génération des immigrants et à celle de leurs enfants. Alors que les premiers mirent en place les fondations de la société urbaine autochtone, les seconds consolidèrent ces structures sociales en institutions tangibles. Distinguant entre les identités politiques formelles et les processus continus et flexibles d'identification, la thèse démontre que les Amérindiens avaient un large éventail d'affiliations possibles. D'une part, les Autochtones articulèrent des identités corporatives formelles liées aux pueblos y barrios de indios et aux équipes de travail, en s'appropriant en partie le concept légal espagnol d'indios, et tout en conservant les caractéristiques particulières de chaque communauté. D'autre part, je démontre que les Amérindiens eurent des affiliations informelles complexes en fonction de leurs lieux de résidence, de leur travail, de leurs relations familiales et de leur intégration dans les réseaux commerciaux locaux et régionaux. Finalement, je constate que le statut socio-économique et le genre avaient plus de poids dans la place sociale d'un individu que son ethnicité. La thèse débute par l'analyse des origines des Amérindiens ayant immigré à San Luis Potosí, ainsi que par l'étude des expériences migratoires de la fin du XVIe siècle. Ces Amérindiens provenaient de plus d'une dizaine de groupes culturels, incluant des Tlaxcaltèques et autres Nahuas, Tarasques, Otomis, Cazcans, Tecuexes, Cocas et quelques autres. Cette variété était le symptôme d'une grande mobilité de la population amérindienne au XVIe siècle, et elle suggère une habilité d'adaptation exceptionnelle. En effet, j'ai observé un multilinguisme très répandu et des échanges culturels fréquents entre groupes autochtones distincts. L'étude se penche ensuite sur la construction et la transformation à San Luis Potosí des réseaux sociaux entre immigrants. Je démontre comment ils se sont établis dans les villages amérindiens – appelés pueblos y barrios de indios – dans les installations de traitement du minerai, dans les fabriques de charbon, dans les ateliers d'artisanat et sur d'autres lieux de travail. Ces endroits n'étaient pas seulement des lieux de travail et d'interactions commerciales, mais aussi des espaces de vie que les Amérindiens s'approprièrent et façonnèrent. Ces espaces devinrent la base des relations sociales, de l'organisation familiale, des liens de parenté rituelle et de la définition des rôles de genre. Finalement, la thèse analyse le développement d'identités formelles à travers les discours légaux et politiques des autorités Amérindiennes. Je démontre que l'adoption d'identités corporatives formelles permit aux communautés autochtones de maintenir leur place dans la conurbation, en créant une personnalité juridique pouvant faire…

▼ L’histoire environnementale du raffinage de l’argent à la Nouvelle Espagne est le résultat de l’agrégat de deux procédés, l’amalgamation et par la fonte, qui dégagent deux ensembles complètement différents de produits chimiques et produisent deux niveaux de réduction des bois. Presque 60% de l’argent a été produit par l’amalgamation, un terme physique qui cache les réactions chimiques complexes qui transformaient les sulfures d’argent en argent amalgamé et calomel. Les rapports chimiques et les niveaux historiques de la correspondencia réduisent mathématiquement le niveau possible des pertes physiques du mercure à moins du 15%, et calomel compris le 85% restante. À peu près de l’autre 40% de l’argent était produit par la fonte avec du plomb, avec grands émissions de la fumée au plomb et un très grand besoin d’énergie. Les cours d’eau seraient les voies pour jeter les déchets de l’amalgamation, l’atmosphère pour les fumées au plomb, et les bois épuisés par la fonte. Une analyse du bilan de masse de chaque procédé donne les rapports des émissions et de l’énergie requis par chaque kilogramme de l’argent produit. Les chiffres pour le calcul sont retrouvée des sources historiques et aussi des cahiers de comptabilité du dix-neuvième siècle provenant des opérations à la Hacienda de Regla, une des usines de raffinage de l’argent plus important au Mexique. Le choix du procédé de raffinage à la Nouvelle Espagne était déterminé para la nature chimique du minerai. L’étude des couts de la production à Regla et leur projections jusqu’au seizième siècle indique que les changes du contexte historique pouvaient changer le bilan entre les deux. La décision stratégique de l’Espagne qui a favorisé l’amalgamation sur le procédé para la fonte a été influencée par des raisons fiscales à cause des revenues de la vente du mercure. La conclusion principale de cette thèse propose qu’un paradigme fondé sur plomb et calomel a déterminé l’impact matérielle de l’histoire environnementale du raffinage de l’argent à la Nouvelle Espagne.
The environmental history of silver refining in New Spain is the aggregate result of two refining processes, amalgamation and smelting, that emit two completely different sets of chemicals and impose two distinct levels of woodland depletion upon the environment. Over 60% of its silver was produced by amalgamation, a physical term that hides the complex and concatenated chemical reactions that transform silver sulphides into amalgamated silver and calomel. The chemical ratios and the historical levels of the correspondencia (mercury to silver weight ratio) are shown to mathematically restrict the possible level of physical losses of mercury during amalgamation to less than 15% on average, with mercury in calomel constituting the balance. Just under 40% of silver was refined by smelting in the presence of lead, with high emissions of lead fume and high energy requirements. Waterways would be the waste disposal channel for amalgamation, the air for lead fumes, and woodland depleted for smelting. A mass balance…

▼ Aqu y All is a 22-minute experimental documentary that reflects on family as an emotional system that operates across generations by focusing on the passing of time, the possibilities of remembering and the construction of space as an ongoing historical and subjective process. The film creates an impressionistic tapestry that weaves the historical tension of racial identity in Colombia with the complexity of family dynamics between my grandparents, my father and his siblings during their time together in Chipaque, a small town in Colombia.
I began this project with the intention to trace the echoes of violence in Chipaque between the 40s and 50s based on stories that my paternal grandfather used to tell. As I was doing preliminary interviews, I became aware that in a way I was chasing my grandparents shadow, as they have both passed away. Then, the house where my father and his siblings grew up was sold. This development prompted me to refocus the film and make a more personal and intimate exploration of the concept of family bonds and the idea of home.
A type of cognitive map that works as a family portrait, the film juxtaposes colour 16mm images, black and white video footage and photos from the familys archive with an immersive sound design and a diaristic use of text to illustrate the impossibility of looking at the past as a fixed, solid and understandable dimension. Weaving fragments of private and public spaces, gestures, voices and phrases, the film draws from the tradition of experimental cinema to create an intimate audiovisual site of personal and collective memory in which the beauty and the pain from both the past and the present co-exist simultaneously.

▼ The speeches given by Pedro Segundo and Getulio Vargas during wartime not only reveals their orientation of leadership but in turn provides something else. These discourses gives one a unique window into not only how these leaders chose to perceive the challenges of wartime but how to address them to the national populace. The rhetoric they used had to transform for purposes of mobilization while adapting to shifting political environments. Among one of the features of this adaptation was the choice of which aspects of the national consciousness to stress at pivotal moments. By examining the public speeches of Pedro Segundo and Getulio Vargas one can see the political orientation of both leaders, understand the political climate of both periods, and witness how much Brazil had changed in the eighty-one years between the beginning of the Paraguayan War and the end of WWII.

▼ This dissertation is a social history regarding moviegoing and film audiences in Cali, Colombia, from the 1940s through the 1970s that aims to explore the meaning of movies in relation to the broader historical context and field of social forces in which they existed. This analysis of the intersection of the actual material conditions of existence of film-related practices and social imaginaries about movies is developed taking into account three main elements. The first one is the definition of film audiences by their film preferences, moviegoing practices, and socio-demographic characteristics. The second aspect is the role that moviegoing and moviegoing-related activities had within the broader cultural and political positioning of the filmgoers in relation to personal and collective, urban identities as demarcated by social class, age, and gender. The third element has to do with the geopolitical positioning of Cali, which poses very specific inquiries into the context of a non-capital city of a so-called underdeveloped country in Latin America. The analysis of these three aspects permit us to acknowledge and understand how moviegoing, the activities related to it, and the ways in which people thought of themselves as film spectators intertwined with urban, cultural, and political dynamics in modes that defined the diverse yet connected ways in which people identified themselves as urbanites, dealing with the conflicts between tradition and modernity in the historically and geographically situated context of an "underdeveloped" country and its struggles to reach the much desired and elusive modernity.

▼ This dissertation analyzes Mario Benedetti's novel <i> Primavera con una esquina rota (A Spring with a Broken Corner)</i> with special attention to the subject of the political prisoner and the representation of the crisis that unfolded in Uruguay after the 1973 coup d'état. Up until now, criticism on <i>Primavera</i> has focused, almost exclusively, on the topic of exile, limiting with this the text's multidimensional quality. This dissertation postulates that the subject of the political prisoner is as central to the novel as that of exile. As a consequence, if we try to interpret the work paying attention only to one of the two topics, leaving the other aside, the resulting interpretation will be necessarily a partial one. The analysis developed here acknowledges that the place, from which the character of Benedetti speaks in the autobiographical chapters, as well as that of most of the characters in the novelistic sections, is exile. However, the centrality of the subject of the political prisoner is justified by the fact that the protagonist's place of enunciation is his inner exile and the political prison. Exile and inner exile inside the political prison conform, then, the two symptoms and main consequences of the crisis generated by Uruguayan dictatorship. This is why both symptoms make the concept of crisis their crucial complement. It is in this sense that this dissertation incorporates three critical perspectives that allow the reader to see the internal trauma as well as the dislocation the prison experience inflicts on the political prisoner, the exiles, and the family as a synecdoche of a fragmented nation. The analysis here presented uses René Girard's theory of the plague, Michel Foucault's concept of prison discipline, and the ideas about textual fragmentation proposed by Carol Clarck D'Lugo, Mieke Bal, and Luis Díaz Márquez, as well as Mikhail Bahktin's concept of heteroglossia. The methodology developed for the present research thus combines literary, historical, theoretical, and sociological sources.

▼ Ernesto Lecuona (1895–1963) is regarded as one of the most important Cuban musicians of the twentieth century, and one of the most prolific composers within Latin America. His piano skills were equal to that of Sergei Rachmaninoff (1873–1943), his popularity compared to George Gershwin (1898–1937) and his compositional output rivaled that of Franz Schubert (1797–1828). Born in Guanabacoa, a suburb of Havana, Cuba, Lecuona began his piano studies at an early age, first with his sister Ernestina and then with Dutch born pianist and composer Hubert de Blanck (1856–1932). He completed his compositional training with Joaquín Nin (1879–1949) and Maurice Ravel (1875–1937). Although Lecuona is known to have composed more than 600 works, very little is known about his art song output. This treatise focuses on his success as a <i>canción</i> (song) composer, highlighting the five art songs that comprise his cycle <i>Cinco canciones con versos de Juana de Ibarbourou</i> (Five Songs with Verses by Juana de Ibarbourou). His creative and successful setting of Juana de Ibarbourou's prose and poetry writings within the cycle along with musical characteristics of the German Lied found within the songs, show his abilities as an art song composer. In support of these statements, I compared a sampling of Lecuona's works within his piano, vocal, theatrical and orchestral repertoire and consulted various sources on the composer. These included primarily the book titled <i>Ernesto Lecuona: the Genius and his Music</i>; the Dissertation <i>The Life and Music of Ernesto Lecuona</i> as well a live interview with Ernesto Lecuona's oldest living relative, his nephew Fernando Lecuona.

▼ Ten days before the 1968 Olympic Games, the Mexican Government violently repressed a massive Student Movement as a result of its unwillingness to negotiate with social sectors that had been adversely affected by the modernization process of the "Mexican Miracle". After the repression, the government projected an image of stability and progress under the so called "apertura democrática". Nonetheless during the decade of the seventies, Mexican citizens experienced state violence, and a counterinsurgency war known as the Dirty War, in which subversive groups who were considered dangerous for the National Security—university students and professors, <i>campesinos,</i> and guerilla fighters—were systematically targeted. <i>Narrativas marginales y guerra sucia en México</i> is framed between two grassroots social movements that represent watershed events in Mexico's political life: the Student Movement of 1968, and the Zapatista guerrilla uprising in 1994. This dissertation addresses the issues of political marginality, state violence, representation of torture and political imprisonment, construction of official history, and individual and collective memory. To shed light on the issue of political imprisonment, I analyze the novel <i> ¿Por qué no dijiste todo?,</i> and the prison dairy <i> Los diques del tiempo</i> by Salvador Castañeda, as well as the political prisoners' anthology <i>Sobreviviremos al hielo</i> by Manuel Anzaldo and David Zaragoza. In discussing the construction of official history, and the role of memory I analyze the novels <i>Pretexta</i> by Federico Campbell, and <i>Muertes de Aurora</i> by Gerardo de la Torre. These texts were published in the decade of the eighties as "fiction". Nonetheless, they can be consider marginal for several reasons: (1) some of these writers were guerrilla fighters and not "intellectuals", therefore they had to assault the <i>lettered city</i> (dominant discourses and state cultural institutions) in finding an in-between space (Silvano Santiago); (2) the novels of Campbell and de la Torre are not considered canonical, and have been ignored, even though both these writers belong to the <i>lettered city</i>; (3) all texts expose the mechanisms of authoritarian power, and the contradictions of representation, give voice to marginal subjectivities, and reveal alternatives to official history.

▼ This dissertation argues that most of Mexico City’s Seventeenth-century subjects believed in and practiced the Good Death. The culture of the Good Death in seventeenth-century Mexico City shows that their Mexican Catholicism represented a localized religious practice that was completely hispanicized. Death permeated Mexico City’s population base due to cyclical pandemics, seasonal natural disasters, such as inundations, agricultural crises, and the common public health issues concerning garbage in the city’s canals and streets. Most of Mexico City’s subjects often lived short and harsh lives. According to colonial citizens, the beliefs and practices of the Good Death signified the partaking of final sacraments and a courage in facing the end of life where the dying person ultimately liberated his/her soul into the purgatorial afterworld. Most urban subjects understood the basic beliefs and practices of Spanish Catholicism. I show that Mexico City’s priests were the intecessors of Spanish Catholic practices and the theology of the Good Death to lay parishioners. Mexico City’s elite subjects paid for and practiced the images of the Good Death according to the arrangements of Baroque funeral rites, especially for the death of the Spanish Monarch and high colonial elites, called exequias. Protecting both their souls and family honor, they arranged detailed will and testaments, which included confessions of faith, paid masses for their souls in Purgatory, and some pious works. For Nahua elite subjects, it meant fewer altar masses, but their preferred rites included a funeral with paid singers, and a Christian burial inside of a church. Confraternities ensured both the images and rites of the Good Death for members who paid their regular sodality fees. Confraternity death benefits included burial in a church altar, fabrics over the coffin, the attendance of confraternity brothers and sisters in the funeral, and the confraternity priest performing masses for the souls of the deceased. In conclude that due to the problems in locating a priest that was able to minister the last sacraments, Mexico City’s general population, both the popular classes and elites, inserted magical prayers at saint altars asking for good deaths in avoidance of bad ones. A bad death signified a sudden and often violent death with no pious preparations beforehand.

▼ This dissertation explores burial practices and funeral rituals in Mexico City during the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. I argue that international shifts in ideas about public health, class, and nationalism were reflected in new spaces and practices for dead bodies. Furthermore, I examine how mass death challenged traditional burial practices. The daily practices involved in managing the disposal and veneration of dead bodies illuminate the social and cultural challenges in building modern cities and the ways in which these projects are adopted or rejected by the citizenry. The first three chapters focus on the modernization of burial practices in the nineteenth century. Burial reform laws in the 1850s led to the foundation of the capital's first large, modern cemetery, the Panteón de Dolores, by the Liberal government in 1879. The cemetery became a microcosm for the clean, modern city, mapping the new social class configuration through the distribution of its graves. Quickly the administrators of the Dolores Cemetery failed to meet ideal due to the realities of daily operation. The cemetery had been imagined as a space that reflected elite ideas of modernity, but it served a capital that was mostly indigent. In response to overcrowding, the technology of cremation, which targeted the poor, created a class division between those who could be buried and those who had to be cremated. Government officials successfully constructed a modern, sterile approach to death and began to wrest away control of the symbolic power of death from the Catholic Church. The last two chapters focus on the temporary breakdown of these practices and the reinterpretation of funeral rituals in the early twentieth century. Instability and high mortality rates during the Revolution of 1910-1920 led to overcrowding in cemeteries and spread the dead beyond the cemetery, including impromptu battlefield cremations. A comparison of three funerals in 1928-1929 shows new ways in which the funeral was used to perform ideas about the nation, family, and masculinity. The Revolution's unmanageable casualty levels and the advent modern, secular funerary practices in the period before the Revolution influenced how the government, military, and civilians handled and memorialized death.

▼ This thesis seeks to recover historical memory during El Salvador’s devastating anticommunist campaigns from 1932 to 1963. With El Salvador’s long history of repression against social movements, fear and even shame have silenced stories about the movement and its participants. In line with the current projects dedicated to social memory, this projects reconstructs the untold story of Felix Panameño, a local shoemaker and member of the Communist Party in the 1930s through his family’s memories. Shoemakers were key to the growing political consciousness of the time, as documented by Roque Dalton through the testimonial of shoemaker and survivor of the 1932 revolt, <i>Miguel Mármol</i>. Much of Panameño’s life and struggle transpired within key political moments from the persecutions of political activists that followed the 1932 revolt, known as “<i> La Matanza</i>”, through the wave of repressive military dictatorships that conspired against political activist and democracy. These dictators imposed a tyranny that ultimately drove large numbers of Salvadorans to migrate to the U.S. beginning in the 1960s. Many of these immigrants, in turn, silenced their memories and depoliticized in exchange for a new beginning. Today, some of these memories are being rebuilt, giving insight to better understanding El Salvador’s past, as well as the present peoples’ struggle for democracy at home and those participating from abroad.

American exploration. This thesis undertakes a close analysis of four central documents relating to his lesser-known but important governorship of the Rio de la Plata province from 1540 to 1545, and delves into its study with a blend of philological and historiographical approaches. After an initial chapter devoted to the discussion of discursive types and genres, grouped in the broad categories of historiographical, legal and literary, a separate chapter is devoted to each of the larger narratives, namely the
Relatió
n general or
General Account of 1545, signed and attributed to Cabeza de Vaca, and the
Comentarios or
Commentaries of 1555, assigned to his notary, Pedro Hernandez. The fourth chapter is dedicated to the analysis of the remaining two documents, namely, an unedited letter by Cabeza de Vaca to the emperor Charles V written from the Azores, and an Account by Pedro Hernandez, both written in 1545.
Using this documentary evidence, this thesis proposes the study of writing at the zenith of conquest and territorial expansion as an integral part of the struggle for power and domination. As new genres and discursive structures emerge, the

▼ The objective of this study is to analyze the historical novel The War of the End of The World (1981) by Mario Vargas Llosa and the novel Pedro Paramo (1955) by Juan Rulfo by discussing apocalyptic motifs and historical themes that influence the texts. Both novels present the gradual decay and destruction of the religious communities of Canudos and Comala – literary towns at the intersection of fiction and
history. Vargas Llosa models the town of Canudos on historical events related to the War of Canudos (1896-1897) in northeast Brazil. Juan Rulfo's depiction of Comala is partially influenced by the Cristero War (1926-1929) in western Mexico. Both Vargas Llosa and Rulfo use apocalyptic imagery and prophecy to subvert the official
history of the events, much like John of Patmos did in the Book of Revelation. The Peruvian novelist is influenced by both Biblical and medieval apocalyptic imagery. Rulfo's novel is influenced by apocalyptic pre-Columbian mythology. The authors use apocalyptic imagery to question official accounts and the
history of both events. Vargas Llosa questions the account of Os Sertões (1902) by Euclides da Cunha and presents an alternative point of view of the events. On the other hand, Juan Rulfo questions the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920) and the historical representation of the Cristero War. Both the Canudos War and the Cristero insurrection represented peasant revolts under the guise of religious uprisings, and many complex sociological, political, cultural, and economic factors treated in the novels – from inequality, to rural-urban-ethnic divides, and the need for agrarian reform – spurred the conflicts. The dissertation also discusses the use of apocalyptic imagery in the representation of the literary town of Macondo in One Hundred Years of Solitude (1967) by García Márquez and the town of Ixtepec in Recollections of Things to Come (1963) by Elena Garro.

Gold, Landscape, and Economy in Cristobal de Acuña’s Nuevo

▼ This dissertation analyzes how nature is represented
and the functions it serves in the discourse of Nuevo
descubrimiento del Gran rio de las Amazonas (1641) written by
Cristobal de Acuña, one of the first detailed published accounts
about the “discovery” of the Amazon region by Europeans. I argue
that in Cristobal de Acuña’s narrative, Nuevo descubrimiento del
Gran rio de las Amazonas (1641), the narrating
subject tries to
persuade the Spanish Crown to acknowledge the great economic
potential that the natural resources from the Amazon region have to
offer, how they would add to the wealth of the Spanish Empire and
implicitly begin the Spanish efforts to colonize and evangelize the
Amazon region. I claim that Acuña is “ahead of his time” and thinks
like an innovative entrepreneurial capitalist proposing a new
economic model for generating sustainable wealth: extraction and
manufacture of the natural resources found in the Amazon region
under a “state-guided” capitalistic system. Acuña does not just
describe the unique, exotic landscapes he encounters in his voyage
down the Amazon River, but rather these landscape descriptions
serve the purpose of emphasizing the economic value of nature in
the region. The elements of the Amazonian landscape seem to already
possess connotations of richness and wealth ready for European
appropriation and consumption. For example, in Acuña’s text the
abundant trees are seen as timber that can be used to make boats at
very low cost while the sugar mills harvesting sugar cane on the
Amazon River banks can generate a good return for their investment.
For the analysis of Acuña’s text I use two main theoretical
concepts: landscape, from the field of Cultural Geography and
capitalism from the disciple of Economics. Landscape, as formulated
by Robertson, is viewed as a “cultural product”; landscape is not
nature but nature transformed by humanity. This theoretical
approach sees every landscape whether on the ground or imagined, as
representation. For Robertson landscapes are products of human
values, meanings and symbols, usually products of the dominant
culture in society. In order to understand Acuña’s early modern
capitalistic mentality I employ the economic framework for early
capitalism detailed by Frieden in the study “The Modern Capitalist
World Economy: A Historical Overview.” I claim that at a time when
mercantilism was the main economic system in the Western World in
the 17th century, Acuña was proposing a new economic model, a
“state-guided” form of capitalism. I also briefly discuss the
economic systems in Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries focusing
on the role of gold and silver in the monetary system at the time,
as well as the power struggles between Spain, England and the
Netherlands in appropriating segments of the Amazonian landscape.
In addition to analyzing Acuña’s text I also examine an earlier
narrative about the discovery and exploration of Amazonia, Fray
Gaspar de Carvajal’s relacion (1542) in order to contrast early
representations of the Amazonian landscape to…

▼ This dissertation charts some of the most significant events for the development of portrait-painting in New Spain in order to shed light on a problematic genre that is often overlooked or misunderstood, even by scholars in the field. The first chapter examines the corporate portrait in early seventeenth-century Mexico City, specifically the series of canvases depicting archbishops in the cathedral chapter hall, and the role of the painter as an arbiter of taste. The second chapter investigates the persistence of this established model, which was a narrowly constructed and exclusively male tradition, which lasted a century and a half. The third chapter discusses the extraordinary innovations of the early eighteenth century. As a result of many factors, including profound economic and social changes, there began an explosion of portrait commissions after 1700, especially in the previously ignored spheres of women and family. The final chapter deals with the foundation of the Academy in Mexico and its role in the Bourbon effort to retain control over its dominion by re-imposing artistic taste in the colony. One of the strategies employed to this end was the importation of a generation of Spanish artists trained at the Academy in Madrid. Portraiture in the viceroyalties, like the court culture of its government seats in Mexico City and Lima, was inherently conservative, concerned as it was with the shaky balance of power that defined colonial politics and society. Once the formula of state portraiture was established in New Spain, it remained fairly uniform because of the inherent demands of such patrons. The first portrait commissions were for series of statesmen; later depictions needed to comply with and consolidate this corporate template. In this way, portraiture in New Spain developed differently than it had in Europe because its tradition was so firmly rooted in the series of viceroys and prelates. Instead of developing along the art-historical arc that characterizes many parts of Europe, portraiture in New Spain followed a different course.

▼ This dissertation explores the making of race and the politics of belonging in Costa Rica between 1921 and 1950, during a period of shifting racial borders and entangled terrains of power. While the idea of “racial democracy” and official discourses of <i>mestizaje</i> (racial mixing) predominate in Latin America, Costa Rica has been long held as a unique country in Central America with an exceptional social geography characterized by “whiteness” and homogeneity. Employed in the United Fruit Company enclave in the Atlantic region of Limón since the late nineteenth century but not formally granted citizenship until 1949, persons of British West Indian origin posed alternative claims to racial belonging, based heavily on the language and ideas of Garveyism—the Pan-African political philosophy of Marcus Garvey and his Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA). The surge of anti-imperial protest against the United Fruit Company in the 1920s and the subsequent renegotiation of the Company's contract in 1934 transferred the centers of banana production from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast, where “persons of color” were prohibited from employment. This process re-drew the borders of the nation and initiated the “Costa Ricanization” of Limón. Theorizing Limón as a borderland formed by the encounters of U.S., Central American, and Caribbean ideas of race, this dissertation maps the convergences and divergences of two distinct yet interwoven articulations of racial citizenship in Costa Rica; one West Indian, Garveyite, and black, and the other <i>criollo</i>-identified and white. Utilizing interdisciplinary research methods and critical theories of race and diaspora, this project employs an analytical lens that engages the national and transnational politics of race, and the relationship between space, power, discourse, and visual culture in the making and contestation of racial belonging. This dissertation draws from the fields of African Diaspora Studies, Latin American Studies, Intellectual History, Cultural Geography, Women's Studies, and Media Studies to analyze the languages, logics, signifiers, and imageries of racial belonging, reading newspapers and petitions as “counterarchives” and key sites where Costa Ricans and West Indians forged cultures of redemption and contours of citizenship, putting them on the record. Introducing the concept of “redemptive geographies,” the discursive spaces and territorial claims in which Costa Ricans and West Indians negotiated modern subjectivity and “diasporic” identity, this dissertation examines the re-mapping of the European and African diasporas alongside articulations of belonging to the Costa Rican nation. Costa Ricans re-formulated <i>criollo</i> whiteness and re-inscribed a mythology of homogeneity based on an identification with the Spanish settlers of the colonial past. The idea of national whiteness reinforced the outsider status of…

▼ Canada's involvement in the Americas has been for the most part neglected by scholars in Canadian and Latin American history. American scholars have also disregarded this analysis when they interpret the dynamics of modern hemispheric relations. A more comprehensive understanding of the Western Hemisphere will be achieved by looking at the ways in which Canada developed relations across the region, without interfering with the sphere of influence of imperial powers. Canada's relations with the region emerged from its colonial relationship with Britain; then Canada pursued a different path in the context of its increasing dependence on the United States. From the late nineteenth century, Canada's interest in Latin America remained dominated by agendas of trade. The case study of Canadian-Colombian relations sheds light on the ways in which Canada's private and government actors attempted to construct a clear-cut line of action constrained by limitations imposed by imperial powers. Bilateral relations would initially be established by merchant trade initiatives of the mid nineteenth century. However, its subsidiary role with British interests marked the beginning of a permanent presence of Canadians in Colombia. By the early twentieth century Canadian-owned banks and insurance corporations made their way into the Caribbean, extending their reach to the Atlantic coast of Colombia. By the 1920s, American interests would determine the arrival of Canadian subsidiaries in Colombia. Canada's increasing presence in Colombia before the mid twentieth century would evolve largely without the assistance of official governmental support. Ottawa's reengagement into a North-South approach after the Second World War, and an increasing private sector interest in capitalizing on Colombia's adherence to the international system, eventually forced the creation of an official Canadian policy toward the region. After the 1960s, Canadian development aid would become Ottawa's own clear-cut line that aimed at differentiating itself from the rest of the industrial world. By the end of the 1970s, aid was playing a crucial role in furthering Canadian-Colombian relations and bringing actors in government and the private sector closer together. The study of Canada's involvement in the region enriches the history of Colombia's adhesion into the international system, and it contributes to the broader understanding of Canadian foreign policy and hemispheric history. The analysis of this bilateral relationship also contributes to an understanding of Canadian-American relations and the dynamics of the expansion of capitalist economic development across the region during the twentieth century. The history of Canadian-Colombian engagement from 1892 to 1979 illustrates the crucial role played by Canada's private interests in the definition and maturation of Canada's foreign policy agendas.

▼ This dissertation presents an alternative model for interpreting the work of Jesús Rafael Soto (Venezuelan, 1923-2005) and Julio Le Parc (Argentine, b. 1928), the two foremost Latin American proponents of Kinetic art. While Soto and Le Parc are traditionally studied together within the context of their European counterparts, this investigation argues for a new way of evaluating the artists in terms of the "fragmented" aesthetic experience they provided through works produced in 1950-1970, the period during which both artists moved to Paris. This paper demonstrates that their artistic innovations were – like their radical social agendas and ideals – critical responses to Latin America's modernity. Characterized by continuous political and social upheaval, a break with traditional values, and an uncertain future, the disruptive environment they experienced in Latin America compelled the artists to pursue in Paris the primary aesthetic strategies of their work: displacement, mutability, and instability. Though they differed in approaches, Soto and Le Parc shared a utopian ideal: that art, distilled to its experiential fundamentals, could communicate directly to the viewer, without the mediation of politics or institutions. Through analyses of specific works, archival documentation, contemporary criticism, and interviews with Soto, Le Parc, and others from their circles, this study explores the lives and work of these two artists, revealing that their summary relegation to specific movements and nationalities discounts the complex reality of their transnational experiences. The model of investigation proposed here reveals the distinct two-way reciprocity of cultural influence between Latin America and Europe, and raises questions about geographical cultural specificity. Also discussed is how the artists' identification with Paris made them suspect in the eyes of some Latin American critics. Soto and Le Parc's formative dialogues with individuals and collectives, in particular Victor Vasarely, Yves Klein, Marcel Duchamp, Los Disidentes, the Madí, Nouveaux Réalistes, group Zero, artists of Situationist International and Tucumán arde are closely examined. Ultimately, this study exposes the challenges faced by Soto and Le Parc as principal pioneers of a generation of Latin American artists who achieved success in international movements, while remaining engaged in forming a new Latin American cultural model.

▼ This dissertation focuses on the intellectual issues that surround the most dramatic form of human encounter: that of imperial conquest. By examining the modes of thought available to conquering societies I examine the way in which specific narrative traditions influence the process of justification and legitimization of expansion. Based on my analysis of a specific set of narratives created by Spanish in the Americas, a wide variety of published primary resources, and research in Spanish archives, I look into the narrative traditions of a number of societies in history, assess the construction of the reconquista narrative in Spain, and then cross the Atlantic to examine variety of interest groups that emerged across Spain's American empire and the narratives that were produced to justify those interests. In successful cases the drama of conquest is normalized through the adoption or construction of legitimizing narratives that tap into prevailing societal self-conceptions or historical relationships. As examples of this I examine a diverse set of societies including China during the Han Dynasty, Sassanid Persia, Turkic states of central and western Asia, and the Ottoman Empire. I then introduce the case of the Spanish, first in the Iberian Peninsula where their narrative traditions successfully justified and normalized the act of conquest, and then in the Americas. Spain's American empire, I argue, constituted a situation so novel as to resist any attempt to make sense of it within the prevailing narrative tradition. Spain's central narratives fell apart in the face of such novelty, leaving narrative chaos and an imperial state unable to control the process of narrative construction. The result was a proliferation of narratives and a heated debate over the Spanish right to rule in their American possessions. This debate only diminished with the repudiation of the notion of conquest in the second half of the sixteenth century. Through this effort, this dissertation contributes to the general understanding of the role of ideas in empire while presenting the argument that Spain's American empire represented a novel case in world history and it was this unprecedented novelty that was responsible for many of the intellectual challenges that the empire faced. Additionally, I contend that the narrative challenges faced by Spain in the sixteenth century left important intellectual legacies for future empires.

▼ This thesis examines the historiography of the Codex Mendoza, one of the earliest surviving and most important manuscripts produced in Mexico after the conquest. In particular, I examine its provenance and evaluate its known documented history. How did this manuscript, produced in 1540 in Mexico by native artists and scribes, reach Europe and when? This reexamination highlights the absence of documentation supporting the widely-held belief that the Codex Mendoza reached France and not Spain, its intended destination, after the ship carrying it to Europe was plundered by pirates.�After closely examining what is known of the manuscript's provenance and suggesting a complete rethinking of what we know about the Codex Mendoza, this thesis demonstrates the interpretive side-effects of current assumptions about the manuscript's provenance and dependance on out of date historiography. The Codex Mendoza's assumed patronage and believed-intended audience has conditioned art historians to interpret the artistic style of the manuscript as containing European influence. However, a close re-examination of the codex in relation to other manuscripts produced in New Spain at the same time demonstrates that the Codex Mendoza's content and visual style is effectively all from the pre-conquest period and therefore radically different from most manuscripts produced at the time. Significantly, almost no comparisons exist in the literature on the topic making this comparison one of the first such contextual stylistic analyses of the Codex Mendoza. In addition, the methodologies employed by art historians in their study of the style of sixteenth-century manuscripts from New Spain have proved problematic, and in the case of the Codex Mendoza specifically, its believed European patronage has preconditioned�interpretations�of its artistic style. To address this problem I compare the Codex Mendoza with a contemporaneous manuscript of similar provenance. The comparison reveals that the existence and circulation of multiple visual styles and narrative strategies in manuscripts during the 1540s in New Spain was directly related to the intended purpose of the manuscript itself. This comparison also allows for the�Codex Mendoza's�proper placement within its art historical context and the broader context of manuscript production in New Spain.

▼ Postmodern writing opens up a unique textual space that allows for the revision of socio-political truths imposed by authoritarian regimes. In this thesis I discuss the instability of the spatialized dichotomies between history and fiction that are found both in certain historical figures in Argentina and in the provocative fiction of Manuel Puig’s Boquitas pintadas (1969) and El beso de la mujer araña (1976). In doing so, I elucidate specific inversions of truth that explore and challenge the ill-effects in Argentine society produced by a long standing restrictive tradition of authoritarianism. I introduce the concept of truth in Michel Foucault’s Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison (1974) and The History of Sexuality Volume 1: The Will to Knowledge (1976) in order to explain the way that power, centered around the body, dictates the production of truth. This definition of power as the underlying force that produces discourse supports my postcolonial argument that Puig’s fiction opens a discussion that allows for the emergence of an interpretation of the historical reality of Argentina that revisits the truths produced by authoritarian regimes in relation to space. In this way, my analysis takes into account aspects that have been marginalized from other critical analyses of Manuel Puig’s works.

▼ The principle objective of this paper is to compare how modernization theory was implemented during the Alliance for Progress and the War on Poverty and to explore how this impacted power structures at the national level in the Alliance and the local level in the War on Poverty There have been some earlier works which have addressed modernization theory during the Alliance for Progress, including Michael Latham's, Modernization as Ideology, however most information about modernization theory itself comes from W.W. Rostow's work, The Stages of Economic Growth, and Rostow and Millikan's, A Proposal. During the War on Poverty, President Johnson also utilized modernization theory; though current scholarship focuses primarily on specific War on Poverty programs, such as Frank Stricker's, Why America Lost the War on Poverty – And How to Win It, or on the War on Poverty in specific areas of the country, such as David Whisnant's, Modernizing the Mountaineer .;While much work has been done about why the Alliance and the War on Poverty failed, there has been little looking at the connection between the two or how modernization theory impacted the making of policy. I seek to explore the relationship between these two programs and how modernization theory was put into practice in each. In this paper, I argue that due to the way in which modernization theory was used to enact both the Alliance for Progress and the War on Poverty, traditional power structures were strengthened ensuring that, in the Alliance, the goal of creating democratic governments was never reached and in the War on Poverty, the attempt to include the poor more fully in the decision making process was never attained. Additionally, I argue that the very policies which were intended to bolster the democratic process instead led to a resurfacing of dictatorships throughout
Latin America and a doubling down by political machines within the local governments affected by the War on Poverty, in order to more firmly hold onto power.
