Gender and the Self in Latin American Literature
This book explores six texts from across Spanish America in which the coming-of-age story ('Bildungsroman') offers a critique of gendered selfhood as experienced in the region’s socio-cultural contexts. Looking at a range of novels from the late twentieth century, Staniland explores thematic concerns in terms of their role in elucidating a literary journey towards agency: that is, towards the articulation of a socially and personally viable female gendered identity, mindful of both the hegemonic discourses that constrain it, and the possibility of their deconstruction and reconfiguration. Myth, exile and the female body are the three central themes for understanding the personal, social and political aims of the Post-Boom women writers whose work is explored in this volume: Isabel Allende, Laura Esquivel, Ángeles Mastretta, Sylvia Molloy, Cristina Peri Rossi and Zoé Valdés. Their adoption, and adaptation, of an originally eighteenth-century and European literary genre is seen here to reshape the global canon as much as it works to reshape our understanding of gendered identities as socially constructed, culturally contingent, and open-ended.
Current Perspectives in Spanish Lexical Development
New quantitative methodology and the development of corpus and experimental linguistics tools have recently made researching lexical comprehension and production more accessible. While several tools and data sets are available in English (Coh-metrix, CELEX) and a few other languages, the development of resources and empirical research is still lacking in Spanish. This volume brings together original empirical research and theoretical perspectives that examine lexical development in Spanish L1, L2 and L3, with a focus on different teaching approaches and textbook coverage of Spanish lexicon in L2 curricula and the use of corpus linguistics in methodological investigations. Some questions addr...
SLA and the Literature Classroom
The 2001 AAUSC volume, entitled SLA AND THE LITERATURE CLASSROOM: FOSTERING DIALOGUES, focuses on how research in SLA can inform the teaching of literature, and, conversely, what contemporary literary theory might bring to research and methodology in SLA.
Latin American Women and the Literature of Madness
At the turn of the millennium, narrative works by Latin American women writers have represented madness within contexts of sociopolitical strife and gender inequality. This book explores contemporary Latin American realities through madness narratives by prominent women authors, including Cristina Peri Rossi (Uruguay), Lya Luft (Brazil), Diamela Eltit (Chile), Cristina Rivera Garza (Mexico), Laura Restrepo (Colombia) and Irene Vilar (Puerto Rico). Close reading of these works reveals a pattern of literary techniques--a "poetics of madness"--employed by the writers to represent conditions that defy language, make sociopolitical crises tangible and register cultural perceptions of mental illness through literature.
Memoria histórica y cine documental
Este libro reflexiona sobre la contribución que ha llevado a cabo el cine documental a la representación de la memoria histórica, entendida como un esfuerzo colectivo para entroncar con el pasado, y también sobre la forma en que, a su vez, el pasado marca el camino de muchas propuestas cinematográficas, activando una ineludible toma de conciencia y configurando, cámara en mano, imágenes y narrativas siempre en construcción. El material filmado, como fuente histórica y como soporte del imaginario colectivo, ha constituido un poderoso relato que puede ayudar a la recuperación de esta memoria. Así lo testifican los artículos incluidos en esta obra.
