The objective of this thesis is to analyze children's characters in the novels of El Camino, Mi idolatrado hijo Sisí and El príncipe destronado. After a brief summary of children characters within Delibes novels, we focus on analyzing common aspects of children heroes, on feelings of anxiety and fear, the importance of background, in which the child grows up, we concentrate on teenagers problems and children's evolution, we focus on the way how children speak and on the analysis of hilarious moments, which are originated from the children's innocence of the world. This thesis intends to take into account all these aspects. In the second part we dedicate to composition of the novel that Delibes completely conformed to the novels intention. The children characters are explored in the context of other characters, taking into account the point of the social background and related problems. In the final chapter we compare the novels to the film production.

Master of Music / Department of Music, Theatre, and Dance / Patricia Thompson / The purpose of this graduate report is to explore the influential stories and historical aspects behind the composition of selected works from the soprano repertoire. This document is completed in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Music degree in vocal performance. The recital was held on Sunday, April 29, 2018, at seven-thirty o’clock in the evening at the First Presbyterian Church, located on 801 Leavenworth Street in Manhattan, KS. Works for this recital were chosen to create a contrasting and unique program to span the soprano repertoire from the Baroque era to late twentieth century, and to display the histories and influences of these compositions. The following works are examined in detail within this document: 1. “Komm in mein Herzenhaus” from Ein’ feste Burg ist unser Gott, BWV 80, by Johann Sebastian Bach 2. “On mighty pens” from The Creation by Franz Joseph Haydn 3. Fêtes galantes I (1882) by Claude Debussy 1. “En sourdine” 2. “Fantoches” 3. “Clair de lune” 4. “Senza mama” from Suor Angelica by Giacomo Puccini 5. As it fell upon a day by Aaron Copland 6. A Letter from Sullivan Ballou by John Kander 7. “What Good Would the Moon Be?” from Street Scene by Kurt Weill 8. Les filles de Cadix by Léo Delibes Each chapter of this document is dedicated to a specific work from the program, and contains the following: 1) biographical information on the composer, 2) historical information and influences on the composition as well as from its grander counterpart if the selection is from a larger work, and 3) a textual and musical analysis of the selection.

The major proposition is that the childhood point of view in two Delibes novels--El camino (1950) and Las ratas (1962)--aids the reader's comprehension of the basic values held by rural Spaniards. These values are stressed in both novels, giving the reader an insight into the nature of these simplistic people. Honest, accepting attitudes of the child protagonists aid the reader's understanding of the plight of the villagers.The superiority of the natural way of life is revealed in both novels. Nature became even more important to Delibes as his stature as novelist increased, The later work, therefore, is a social protest against effects of industrial progress on rural Castilians.

Ce travail de recherche porte sur l’œuvre « 377A, Madera de héroe », du romancier espagnol Miguel Delibes. Il s’agit d’une thèse de génétique textuelle qui, après avoir établi l’édition du texte au fil des quatre campagnes d’écriture, étudie les mouvements du faire textualisant de cette genèse en se fondant sur le dossier manuscrit que Miguel Delibes a confié en main propre à l’auteur de la recherche. L’approche analytique suit une démarche organisée en deux phases fondamentales. La première (microanalyse) s’appuie sur les méthodes traditionnelles du champ d’investigation génétique pour étudier les enjeux sémantiques et discursifs des stratégies de réécriture et l’empreinte stylistique auctoriale que dénotent les variantes. La seconde (macroanalyse) aborde la question sous le jour renouvelé que permettent les approches quantitatives des données lexicales. Le recours à deux logiciels complémentaires (Stablex et Alceste) permet de faire apparaître ici des mouvements de fond non perceptibles ni objectivables par d’autres voies. Les données chiffrées, leur traitement et leur interprétation, offrent la vision d’un parcours de réécriture de décentrement, puis de recentrement par rapport aux thèmes qui s’imposent à l’auteur, tant par choix personnel que par une sorte de mécanique d’attraction interne due aux exigences intrinsèques de la cohérence textuelle. Cette thèse représente donc simultanément une contribution versée à la connaissance de l’œuvre de l’un des plus grands romanciers espagnols et une contribution au renouvellement méthodologique de l’approche en génétique textuelle. / This research deals with « 377A, Madera de héroe », a book by Spanish novelist Miguel Delibes. It is a thesis in textual genetics that first establishes the edition of the text through the four stages of its writing and then studies the movements of the text production process in this genesis by exploring the manuscript that was given directly and personally by Miguel Delibes to the author of this research. The analytical approach is organised in two major phases: - The first one (micro-analysis) uses the traditional methods of genetic investigation to study the semantic and discursive aspects of the re-writing strategies and the author’s stylistic mark as it is revealed in the variants. - The second one (macro-analysis) revisits the issue by implementing the recent developments in the quantitative handling of lexical data. By resorting to two complementary software programmes (Stablex and Alceste), it is possible to observe deep underlying movements that can neither be perceived nor objectified through other approaches.The processing and interpretation of data reveal a rewriting process of de-centering followed by a re-centering around the themes that are perceived as prevailing by the author, as a result of his personal choices and also through a mechanical process of internal attraction due to the intrinsic demands of textual consistency. This thesis therefore contributes to a finer analysis of the work of a leading Spanish novelist as well as to a new development in the methodology of textual genetics.

En Cinco horas con Mario, Delibes nos cuenta la historia de una Carmen que representa al sector conservador de la España de la época. Sin embargo, si profundizamos en el texto también nos vamos a encontrar a una Carmen que se rebela y que es víctima del franquismo. Esta tesina tiene como propósito demostrar que en el texto de Delibes va a aparecer una Carmen multifacética que hará que la novela consiga reflejar desde distintos puntos de vista la situación social en la que la mujer se vio envuelta durante el periodo franquista. / In Cinco horas con Mario, Delibes tells us the story of a Carmen who represents the conservative sector of Spain at the time. However, if we delve into the text we will also find a Carmen who rebels and is a victim of Francoism. The purpose of this thesis is to show that a multifaceted Carmen will appear in Delibes' text which will make the novel reflect the social situation in which women were involved during the Franco period from different points of view.

El interés por el medio ambiente y la relación que existe entre el ser humano y la naturaleza han incentivado que diferentes ramas interdisciplinares como la ecología y la literatura trabajen juntas para lograr nuevos métodos que ayuden a conservar, mantener y fomentar la biodiversidad en la naturaleza y su conservación. En la literatura, teorías como la ecocrítica facilitan el análisis literario en el cual la relación que existe entre la naturaleza y el ser humano es un punto central de investigación. El objetivo de este estudio fue investigar la relación que existe entre el ser humano y la naturaleza en la novela El camino del escritor Miguel Delibes. El método que utilizamos fue elmétodo de la hermenéutica. En nuestra investigación vimos de qué maneras se ve reflejada la integración del ser humano y el medio ambiente. También profundizamos en los términos ecosofía, biocentrismo y desarraigo en la novela El camino. Además, concluimos que la identidad de Daniel el Mochuelo está ligada a la naturaleza.Las conclusiones a las que llegamos están de acuerdo con el objetivo de nuestro análisis. Daniel, el personaje principal de la obra, tiene una personalidad ligada a la naturaleza y la integración entre el ser humano y la naturaleza se ve reflejada en la novela de diferentes maneras.

Muitas dessas expressões artísticas foram produzidas no calor da guerra ou nos imediatos anos que a sucederam, mas, ao longo das oito décadas que nos separam do início do conflito, foram e continuam sendo produzidas cada vez mais obras que retratam os embates ideológicos entre las dos Españas. Da ampla gama de textos que versam sobre o conflito, destacamos duas narrativas produzidas em momentos específicos da vida cultural hispânica: Réquiem por un campesino español (1952), de Ramón J. Sender, publicada no México, durante o exílio de seu autor, e Cinco horas con Mario (1966), de Miguel Delibes, publicada na Espanha, em plena vigência da ditadura franquista. Essas narrativas, elaboradas em função dos mesmos motivos, mas em conjunturas distintas, respondem a demandas próprias de cada circunstância, portanto, os conteúdos e as formas que se criam para representá-los dialogam com as (im)possibilidades de representar os horrores de uma batalha fratricida. Nesta tese, queremos estabelecer a relação de cada uma das obras com a representação da Guerra Civil Espanhola, destacando os aspectos formais e a arquitetura textual das narrativas para estabelecer a tensão entre os dois momentos na literatura espanhola de pós-guerra: a produção literária da Espanha peregrina e a da era franquista, a fim de indicar as relações entre história, memória e literatura através da expressão narrativa dos dois segmentos em causa / The Spanish Civil War, which devastated Spain from 1936 to 1949, along with the subsequent establishment of a totalitarian regime that ruled the country for almost four decades, are both high on the list of the most catastrophic events of the 20th century, being widely portrayed by the world of the arts. Many of these works of art were created during the war; others were produced during the immediate post-war period. Nevertheless, during the eight decades that went by since these events took place, the production of such artistic pieces has significantly increased, especially the ones which depict the ideological conflict between “the two Spains” (las dos Espanãs). Among the wide variety of texts that deal with this conflict, two novels, each written in different and specific moments of the Hispanic cultural life, should be pointed out: Réquiem por un campesino español (1952), by Ramón J. Sender, published in Mexico during Sender’s exile, and Cinco horas con Mario (1966), by Miguel Delibes, published in Spain under General Franco’s dictatorship. These two novels, inspired by the same reasons but produced under different circumstances, meet the demands of the particular situations regarding their authors; therefore, both form and content in these novels are meant to cope with the “(im)possibility” of conveying the horrors of a fratricidal war. In this thesis, we wish to establish how each of these novels manages to portray the Spanish Civil War, highlighting the specific characteristics of both form and content in each text, so as to reveal the tension between these two kinds of literary productions of the post-war period: the works of the so-called España peregrina (“Pilgrim Spain”), and those produced under the Franco regime. In this way, we wish to bring to light the way in which history, memory, and literature are integrated through these different types of narrative expression
