En su amplia obra lingüística, Eugenio Coseriu (Mihaileni, 1921 - Tübingen, 2002), acude varias veces a la literatura para ejemplificar  conceptos lingüísticos teóricos e incluso para modelarlos. Como ocurre con varios estudiosos del siglo XX (José Ortega y Gasset o Mijaíl Bajtín, por ejemplo), el Quijote es, para Coseriu, incitación para formular reflexiones que no se aplican exclusivamente a él, como sí lo hacen otras obras relevantes del cervantismo del siglo XX, señaladamente los trabajos de Stephen Gilman y Edward C. Riley. El presente artículo busca rastrear las referencias al Quijote y a Cervantes en la obra de Coseriu y, sobre todo, presentar y discutir la corrección hecha por Coseriu al importante trabajo de Leo Spitzer “Perspectivismo lingüístico en el Quijote”. / In his extensive linguistic work, Eugenio Coseriu (Mihaileni, 1921 - Tübingen, 2002), uses literature several times to exemplify theoretical linguistic concepts and even to model them. As is the case with several 20th century scholars (José Ortega y Gasset or Mijaíl Bajtín), Don Quixote is, for Coseriu, a touchstone to formulate reflections that do not apply exclusively to it, as other relevant works of 20th century’s Cervantism, such as Stephen Gilman’s or and Edward C. Riley’s, do. This article seeks to trace the references of Don Quixote and Cervantes in Coseriu’s work and, above all, to present and discuss the correction made by Coseriu to Leo Spitzer’s “Perspectivismo lingüístico en el Quijote”.

This thesis describes the how Miguel de Cervantes used proverbs and popular sayings to help compose his work, Don Quijote.

Informe de Seminario para optar al grado de Licenciado en Lengua y Literatura Hispánica mención Literatura. / Seminario de grado: Desde la escritura: imágenes y representaciones del Islam y los musulmanes / En La ‘mancha’ de don Quijote: el trasfondo islámico, se intentará poner de manifiesto una posibilidad de lectura, en donde el texto cervantino se nos presenta como un corpus empapado de tópicos, motivos y problemáticas árabes e islámicas luego de la expulsión de los moros de la Península, además de postular una nueva interpretación basada en la identificación de esos elementos orientales en el juego ficcional interno de la obra. Este ensayo intenta de-velar lo que la crítica tradicional occidental ha omitido, ignorado o negado de El Quijote, respecto a la influencia musulmana y/o árabe que, durante la convivencia con cristianos en España, debió de introducir a la literatura medieval y posterior. Así, en este trabajo veremos cómo, incluso entrado ya el siglo XVII, los residuos de la cultura islámica se dejan ver en la literatura española con una voz más potente y determinante de lo que muchos podrían esperar o querer.

This thesis examines the dichotomy of locura/cordura in Miguel de Cervantes' Don Quijote de la Mancha (1605/1615), specifically the nature of the madness of the titular character. Two different aspects of the Quijote are discussed: (1) the dual nature of the personality of Don Quijote/Alonso Quijano as being "sanely insane," that is, that although Don Quijote exhibits symptoms unmistakably indicative of madness, he maintains his sanity underneath this mad façade; the dedicatory sonnets that precede Part 1, the epitaphs that follow the end of Part 1, and the two poems that serve as an epilogue to Part 2 are examined in length in order to show that Don Quijote, and not "Alonso Quijano el Bueno," is the true protagonist of the Quijote; and (2) the roles that the various encantadores play in the Quijote and how they interact with Don Quijote are discussed in order to further explore this dichotomy of locura/cordura.

In "Contestatory Subjects: Performance and the Politics of Recognition in Don Quijote," I analyze the performative strategies used by several well-known characters in Cervantes' 1605 Don Quijote to counter their initial displacement and to constitute an alternative yet acceptable subject position for themselves within the socio-historic structure of the text. Throughout the study, I posit that successful subjectivity requires more than the character who performs any given subject position; it requires a response, an on-going dialogue between self and other - and most importantly - it requires an ethical commitment to the process on the part of the witness, be that witness intra- or extra-textual. My analysis of Dorotea, Ruy Pérez, and Zoraida shows that their individual performances are really communal or dialogic processes played out in conjunction with other characters. My project therefore counters the tendency to study each character's story as an isolated performance or as a self-contained intercalated tale in Don Quijote. Rather, I offer a more holistic or integrated examination of a trajectory of contestatory performances throughout Part I of the Quijote. With each performance, the 1605 novel increasingly expands the normative limits of social inclusivity in Early Modern Spain, ultimately arguing in the last chapters for the accommodation of a mora cristiana within the limits of the recognizable. In viewing these characters not as isolated, self-fashioning individuals but rather as a community of performers and ethical witnesses, my analysis points toward a didactic project on Cervantes's part in the 1605 novel, in which he uses these characters to model and tutor the reader in empathetic reading strategies that forestall the inquisitorial hermeneutic imposed by the State and the Church in Habsburg Spain. My analysis of Cervantes's contestatory performances and their receptions draws primarily on critical theories of gender and performance studies in combination with the cultural materialist studies of early modern Spain (e.g., Cruz, Fuchs, Hernández-Pecoraro, Johnson, Maravall, Mariscal, Presberg, Sieber). Of particular importance are Judith Butler's work on gender performativity and Kelly Oliver's work on witnessing, which nuances Butler's notion of performativity by addressing the ethical responsibilities on the part of the witness/spectator. Each chapter links the performance in question back to the material conditions and available discourses vying to produce acceptable subjects in early modern Spain. In terms of normative discourses, the most obvious institutions involved in the formation and reformation of the seventeenth-century Spanish subject are the Church and the Absolutist state, quite effectively combined in the Holy Office of the Inquisition. Therefore, this study features a number of theological, economic, and social treatises that were written in an effort to constitute the ideal Spanish subject in terms of gender, religion, race/ethnicity and class/estado. Around these normative subject positions we observe the subsequent formation of resistant or contestatory discourses, which also feature prominently in each chapter of the study. By combining the work of Butler and Oliver, and insisting on an analysis of both the performer and the spectator in various scenes of Don Quijote, Part I, this project fills gaps in the scholarship on Cervantes and performance studies, which have tended to privilege the performance of the self-fashioning individual while overlooking the dialogic nature of performativity. I show that there is more at stake than opening space for projects of private perfection, which is no doubt a necessary goal. Also at stake are ethical relationships with others and shared projects of social reform and restoration. In all of the performances I analyze here, Cervantes creates characters who self-fashion by reiterating and manipulating contrary, traditionally binary discourses around gender, class, race/ethnicity, religion, and nationality. In turn, his fictional witness-listeners model the ethical posture necessary to maintain a productive openness to the characters' difference. Together, their performances induce us to accept the contestatory virtues of faith, good works, and caritas over the normative determinants of blood (purity) and lineage (old-order occupations; ejercicios), which the novel shows to be tired categories that are encouraging costly foreign wars, emigration to the New World, declining fertility rates, and unproductive economic investments.

Como se ha adelantado en la introducción, el objeto a estudiar será la novela “Al morir Don Quijote” del español Andrés Trapiello. Esta obra se publicó el año 2004 y atrajo el interés de gran parte de la crítica especializada. Si bien su difusión no ha sido tan alta, remeció de cierta manera el piso del lector culto, generando un amplio horizonte de expectativas dado su título, el cual nos adelanta que de una u otra forma el hidalgo de lanza en ristre que tanto ha entregado a la humanidad volvería, paradójicamente, a la vida en palabras de otro autor. Sin embargo, este mismo lector preparado, debía estar en conocimiento que no era el primer intento por hacer renacer los ideales entregados por Cervantes, antes ya muchos habían intentado (cada cual con menos fortuna que el anterior) continuar tan magna obra.
