JOSE LUIS GONZALEZ AND NATIONAL MASS CONSCIOUSNESS IN PUERTO RICOUnknown Date (has links)
Since the 1930s, the problem of national identity has become one of the most crucial issues in the Puerto Rican political and cultural arena. Politicians like Pedro Albizu Campos, Luis Munoz Mar(')in, and Luis A. Ferre, and writers like Antonio S. Pedreira, Tomas Blanco, and Rene Marques, have discussed the subject. Generally, fatalistic and catastrophic views of the national identity problem have been adopted, especially by supporters of Puerto Rican independence. Jose Luis Gonzalez rejects those views as product of a class ideology, that of the "creole bourgeoisie." To Gonzalez, the Puerto Rican masses do not have an identity problem, but rather a problem of consciousness of that identity. Thus, "cultural producers," like him, must strive to develop and to enrich Puerto Rican national mass consciousness by emphasizing the positive aspects and values of Puerto Rican identity or by criticizing the negative ones. / This dissertation tries to show how Jose Luis Gonzalez has attempted to achieve his primary aim of helping develop and enrich a national mass consciousness in Puerto Rico. It also describes the evolution of his humanist views. Gonzalez's essays and theoretical writings are analyzed first, since these express his views most directly. His fictional writings are also discussed. Finally, a critical conclusion assesses Gonzalez's literary efforts. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 48-03, Section: A, page: 0660. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1987.

La poesia indigenista en cuatro poetas latinoamericanos: Manuel Gonzalez Prada, Gabriela Mistral, Pablo Neruda y Rosario Castellanos. (Spanish text); (Peru, Chile, Mexico)Unknown Date (has links)
This dissertation examines the Indianist poetry which constitutes part of the works of four Latin Spanish American poets: Manuel Gonzalez Prada of Peru, Gabriela Mistral and Pablo Neruda of Chile, and Rosario Castellanos of Mexico. / While discussing elements comprising the definition of Indianist poetry, such as a protest of the abuse and the lack of opportunity for the predominantly Indian nations during the past five centuries, this work examines the Indianist expressions of each poet. An attempt has been made to determine the causes that motivate these poets to write about Indians while looking for a possible pattern. / For purposes of comparison, an analysis of black poetry is included to demonstrate that the same theme can be found in other types of poetry that deal with social issues. / The conclusion posits the importance of the poetic moments in the life of the four poets. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 51-09, Section: A, page: 3092. / Major Professor: Louis C.

Che Guevara: ExistentialistUnknown Date (has links)
This study explores the existentialist themes in the life and work of Ernesto "Che" Guevara. The testimony of secondary sources demonstrated that Guevara was well read in the works of Sartre and Merleau-Ponty. Though Guevara did not mention his existentialism explicitly in his works, significant correspondence exists between his perspective and that of the French authors. / The primary correspondence between Guevara and the existentialists is their attempt to reincorporate the individual into an understanding of revolutionary struggle. In this attempt, they returned to the radical humanism of the early Marx that the dogmatic heritage of Marxist positivism and scientism rejected. The existentialists portrayed the individual as the creator of history, not a passive cog or victim of historical processes. / Sartre and Guevara analyzed the "bonds of interiority" that held the individual to the fighting group and the ways that the fighting group expressed the freedom of the individual. For both writers, the fighting group was not only a means of revolutionary struggle, but was also the incarnation of free praxis within a group structure. / Guevara's revolutionary existentialism attempted to reinstall the acting person at the center of history and to underscore the quality of adventure in every historical undertaking. But Guevara's leap into the future demonstrated that history is both more resistant to change and more open to contingency than he had expected. His life and death were a striking example of the way hope and futility are mixed in every historical project. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 51-12, Section: A, page: 4146. / Major Professor: Donald Clarke Hodges. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1990.

Equipping Hispanic Immigrant Pastors for Holistic MissionSalvatierra, Alexia 16 March 2019 (has links)
<p> The Centro Latino at Fuller Theological Seminary seeks to equip Hispanic pastors with the “tools to draw on their faith to create a better world”, which is a core component of holistic mission. Through comparative case studies, the first phase of this research examines the journeys of sixteen graduates of Centro Latino to explore the factors which impacted their capacity to implement holistic mission strategies in and with their ministries. As part of this process, this study reviews the roles played by culture, context and theological education in helping or hindering their efforts. The second and third phases of the research involves collaborating with the research subjects to develop and carry out a pilot program of continuing education activities through Centro Latino designed to increase their capacity to carry out holistic mission. Using a theoretical framework which integrates research on the impact of theological education on ministry practice, research on the Hispanic context and corresponding strategies for spiritual and practical formation for holistic mission, this study analyzes the results of the pilot program to arrive at recommendations for Centro Latino in particular and Hispanic theological education programs in general for equipping evangelical/Pentecostal Hispanic immigrant pastors for holistic mission. </p><p>

Printing Presses, Typographers, and the Reader as People: State Publishing in Cuba, Venezuela, and Chile (1960-present)Gordon-Burroughs, Jessica January 2015 (has links)
Among other paradigm shifts, in the last decades Latin America has underwent not only the privatization and corporatization of the historical State, but also the de-materialization of the book in paper and ink. Far from a death knell, however, this apparent limit has instead given rise to a further visibility of the support, material, and conditions of production of the historical book object. This dissertation will reconstruct through period sources, critical essays, fiction, photography, and film the hallowed, yet troubled, status of the State-sponsored book. Tracing an arc from the utopian 1960s and increasingly privatized 1990s and 2000s, I consider imaginaries of reading through the materials and cultural politics that comprise books in the most concrete of senses—paper, format, copyright policy, and reproduction technologies, in particular Xerox, linotype, and mimeograph. These elements form subjectivities that extend beyond what is normally understood as the reader to broader collective narratives. Something as simple as paper made of tobacco or sugarcane, for example, may link questions as diverse as anti-colonialism, the popular national subject, and racial, ethnic, and gender alterity. Conversing with and, simultaneously, contesting the work of critics such as Roger Chartier, Pierre Bourdieu, Jacques Rancière, and Johanna Drucker, I argue that what at first may seem anecdotal is instead a map of the material, spatial, and subjective distribution of knowledge told through the material life of books. The following chapters, will address the nascent critical discourse on book materiality in Latin America, and then turn to three case studies drawn from Cuba, Chile, and Venezuela that variously imagine new subjectivities of the reader.
