Esta tese procura identificar quais eram os principais objetivos intelectuais e políticos de Juan Natalicio González (1897-1966), um escritor paraguaio que desempenhou um amplo leque de atividades jornalista, ensaísta, editor, político, militante do Partido Colorado e diplomata. A partir da análise de suas biografias, de seus próprios textos (autobiografia, ensaios e a revista Guarania) e do resgate feito pela historiografia, consideramos que González atingiu parcialmente suas ambições políticas, na medida em que chegou a ser presidente de seu país, foi derrubado e já não pôde voltar a ocupar um papel protagonista na cena política nacional. Por outro lado, teve grande sucesso na difusão e na consolidação da interpretação revisionista da história paraguaia, ao articular-se em diversos grupos de intelectuais latino-americanos que reproduziram amplamente sua versão da história. / This thesis seeks to identify the main intellectual and political objectives of Juan Natalicio González (1897-1966), a Paraguayan writer who played an extensive variety of activities (journalist, essayist, editor, politician, Colorado Partys member and diplomatic). From the analysis of their biographies, their own texts (autobiography, essays and magazine Guarania) and the study done by historians we consider that Gonzalez partially achieved his political ambitions, because he became president of his country but he was deposed and did not return to play a leading role in the national political scene. He succeeded in spreading and consolidation of the revisionist interpretation of Paraguayan history, after participating in various groups of Latin American intellectuals who widely reproduced his version of the history.

Aquesta tesi doctoral documenta els actors principals i secundaris del fenomen del revisionisme històric i del negacionisme en relació a la història de la persecució política de la llengua catalana i analitza els arguments del revisionisme des de la transició democràtica espanyola fins als nostres dies, amb especial èmfasi en la relativització de la política lingüística de la dinastia borbònica en els segles XVIII i XIX, l’edulcorament de la repressió cultural de la dictadura de Miguel Primo de Rivera i la minimització de l’intent de genocidi cultural franquista. Aquesta anàlisi del discurs revisionista finalitza amb unes conclusions que expliquen el rerefons profund d’aquest fenomen en l’actualitat. / Esta tesis doctoral documenta los actores principales y secundarios del fenómeno del revisionismo histórico y del negacionismo en relación con la historia de la persecución política de la lengua catalana y analiza los argumentos del revisionismo desde la transición democrática española hasta nuestros días, con especial énfasis en la relativización de la política lingüística de la dinastía borbónica en los siglos XVIII y XIX, el edulcoramiento de la represión cultural de la dictadura de Primo de Rivera y la minimización del intento de genocidio cultural franquista. Este análisis del discurso revisionista finaliza con unas conclusiones que explican el trasfondo profundo de este fenómeno en la actualidad. / This thesis documents the leading and supporting protagonists of the historical revisionism and denial phenomenon regarding the history of political persecution of the Catalan language and analyzes the arguments for revisionism from the transition to democracy in Spain until the present day, with special emphasis on the playing down of the language policy of the Bourbon dynasty in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the easing of the cultural repression of the Miguel Primo de Rivera dictatorship and the minimization of the attempted cultural genocide of the Franco regime. This revisionist discourse analysis reaches conclusions to explain the deep background of this phenomenon.

Ce mémoire porte sur le révisionnisme historique réalisé par Leonardo Padura dans son roman El hombre que amaba a los perros, publié en 2009. Cet écrivain, l’un des auteurs actuels les plus publiés et les plus récompensés du monde hispanique, utilise les figures historiques de León Trotsky et de son assassin, Ramón Mercader, pour raconter l’histoire inédite de Cuba à partir de l’arrivée au pouvoir de Fidel Castro, en janvier 1959. L’auteur se sert de la figure de Trotsky pour traiter certaines questions qui laissent entrevoir la décomposition du système révolutionnaire cubain. D’une part, Trotsky était un écrivain qui subissait de la censure, comme bon nombre d’écrivains et d’intellectuels cubains. D’autre part, c’était un soldat qui, après avoir participé à divers conflits, comme la révolution d’Octobre, fut rayé de l’histoire de son pays, condamné à l’exil, et finalement assassiné. Dans le présent travail, nous étudierons la manière dont la reconstruction et la déconstruction de l’histoire convergent en nous penchant sur les mouvements centrifuges et centripètes qu’elles comportent. Ainsi, nous verrons comment le texte littéraire, à travers la figure et les expériences d’un personnage non historique, reconstruit l’histoire de Cuba dans les années 70 et 80 en mettant en lumière la stalinisation du régime castriste et le désenchantement de ceux qui l’avaient initialement soutenu, entre autres de nombreux intellectuels et écrivains. / This dissertation focuses on Leonardo Padura’s historical revisionism in his 2009 novel El hombre que amaba a los perros. Padura, one of today’s most published and award-winning authors in the Hispanic world, has used the historical figures of Leon Trotsky and his assassin, Ramón Mercader, to present the untold story of Cuba from the time Fidel Castro gained power in January 1959. Padura uses Trotsky’s character to address a number of issues that point to the decomposition of the Cuban revolutionary system. On the one hand, Trotsky was a writer who suffered censorship, as did many Cuban writers and intellectuals. On the other hand, he was a soldier who, after being involved in various conflicts, such as the October Revolution, was erased from the history of his country, forced into exile, and ultimately assassinated. In this dissertation, we will examine how the reconstruction and deconstruction of history converge, focusing on the centrifugal and centripetal movements they comprise. We will see how the history of Cuba during the 1970s and 1980s is reconstructed in Padura’s literary work through a nonhistorical figure and his experiences, revealing the Stalinization of the Castro regime and the disenchantment of those who initially supported it, including many intellectuals and writers. / Este trabajo trata sobre la revisión histórica realizada por Leonardo Padura en la novela El hombre que amaba los perros publicada en el año 2009. Este escritor, uno de los autores actuales más publicados y premiados del mundo hispano, se ha ocupado de la figura histórica de León Trotsky y su asesino Ramón Mercader, para desde su historia proyectar la historia no contada de Cuba, luego de la llegada al poder de Fidel Castro en enero de 1959. La figura de Trotsky le sirve al autor para tratar un número de temas que apuntan a la descomposición del sistema revolucionario cubano. Por un lado, Trotsky fue un escritor que sufrió la censura, como tantos escritores e intelectuales cubanos. Por otro lado, también fue un militar que, luego de participar en diversos conflictos, como la Revolución de Octubre, fue borrado de la historia de su país, condenado al exilio y, finalmente, asesinado. El presente trabajo se centrará en el modo en que convergen la reconstrucción y la deconstrucción de la historia, atendiendo a los movimientos centrífugos y centrípetos que contienen. Así veremos cómo el texto literario, a través de la figura y de las experiencias de un personaje no histórico, va reconstruyendo la historia de Cuba durante los años 70 y 80, apuntando a la estalinización del régimen castrista y al desencanto de quienes lo habían apoyado inicialmente, entre ellos muchos intelectuales y escritores.

Abstract This thesis examines the various biographical threads, which created the complex fabric of Sergei Parajanov’s life and work, especially his films. His origins, education, marriages, family life, and friendships forged in film school and in the various studios, where he worked, are used to frame his cinematic productions. However, the most novel features of this study result from an examination of his letters from prison and the artistic output, drawings, collages, scripts/scenarios, assemblages, etc., created in the gulag and outside during the time that he was denied the right to make films. An argument is made that the Soviet authorities jailed him as a dissident although he never considered himself one, being rather simply an honest creative individual, who would not abide the censoring or redaction of his work. His homosexuality was the pretext for Soviet authorities to incarcerate him, but Parajanov’s queerness has been almost completely omitted from purportedly authoritative memoirs and biographies meant to capture the late filmmaker’s legacy. These publications written by Soviet and post-Soviet critics, Parajanov’s close friends, and numerous confidants make a deliberate effort to erase his self-professed queer identity. Foreign aficionados of his work, on the other hand, have little hesitancy acknowledging his queerness. My research centers on Parajanov’s queer identity as the underlying source of his bold and innovative artistic output.
