Si repasáramos de manera minuciosa, retrocediendo en el tiempo por supuesto, los diferentes momentos y estilos de la dramaturgia peruana, e intentáramos reconocer en la tarea, aquellos elementos en formas y temas que podrían servir para identificarnos y distinguirnos frente a otras dramaturgias de la región, probablemente nos llevaríamos una grata sorpresa. Más aún cuando, de manera entendible, el intento, por lo general, ha venido al revés; vale decir, ubicar los proyectos y las tendencias dramáticas de un grueso de países latinoamericanos bajo el manto de algún fenómeno particular –un boom, quizás-, sustentado por una maravillosa generación de escritores con formas y/o contenidos comunes, y divulgado con éxito a todo el mundo. Así, es propio resumir la literatura latinoamericana de fines del siglo diecinueve e inicios del veinte, bajo el concepto del Modernismo, a veces sin pensar que un escritor, que simplemente guarda ciertos vínculos con la corriente, podría estar representando ya una tendencia nueva o construyendo nuevos cimientos. / Tesis

La storia della Repubblica Dominicana è stata tristemente costellata, fin dalle origini, da un susseguirsi di sanguinose lotte, invasioni, guerre, feroci dittature, occupazioni militari e violente calamità naturali. Tuttavia, l’Era di Trujillo è ricordata dal popolo dominicano come il periodo più penoso e buio, che ha profondamente marcato il suo passato e la cui essenza si trascina silenziosa nel suo presente. Rafael Leonidas Trujillo Molina, pur essendo solo l’ultimo dei tiranni che hanno oppresso il popolo quisqueyano, è riconosciuto come uno dei dittatori più spietati dell’America Latina. Il suo diabolico carisma, accompagnato dalla crudeltà delle sue azioni, ha lasciato una traccia indelebile nell’identità e nell’animo della sua gente, diventando un’ispirazione letteraria che ha saputo dare vita, valicando anche i confini dell’isola, alla novela del trujillato. La presente ricerca si concentrerà sull’evoluzione della novela del trujillato e del personaggio letterario di Trujillo nel contesto dominicano e all’interno dei romanzi scritti da autori stranieri come Galíndez di Manuel Vázquez Montalbán, En el tiempo de las mariposas di Julia Álvarez, La Fiesta del Chivo di Mario Vargas Llosa e La breve y maravillosa vida de Óscar Wao di Junot Díaz. / The history of the Dominican Republic is cluttered with a string of bloody fights, invasions, wars, cruel dictatorships, military occupations and aggressive natural disasters. Nevertheless the Dominicans remember the ‘Trujillo’s Era’ as the darkest and more sorrowful period, that has deeply scarred their past and whose essence silently drags on in their present. Rafael Leonidas Trujillo Molina is only the last dictator who has oppressed the Dominican people, but he is known as one of the most vicious and ruthless dictators that have plagued Latin America. His diabolic charisma and his cruel actions have indelibly marked the identity and the soul of his people, becoming a literary inspiration that could cross the island’s confines and give rise to the novela del trujillato. This thesis aims to analyze the evolution of the novela del trujillato and the character of Trujillo both in the Dominican context and in the novels, written by foreign authors, Galíndez by Manuel Vázquez Montalbán, En el tiempo de las mariposas by Julia Álvarez, La Fiesta del Chivo by Mario Vargas Llosa and La breve y maravillosa vida de Óscar Wao by Junot Díaz.

The major purpose of this study is to examine the mayoral years of Leonidas A. Guthrie, from 1905 to 1910. Guthrie (1875-1964), a Muncie, Indiana lawyer, reform leader, and philanthropist, served as mayor during a period when Muncie began to evolve into a modern city. His administration saw a number of changes in Muncie as the city entered the twentieth century, including the first brick streets and the widespread installation of electric street lights. In spite of these advancements, Guthrie, who kept exhaustive notes on every facet of his life, left no chronicle of his mayoral years amidst the large collection of his personal papers housed at Special Collections at Ball State University.Further research discovered that Guthrie's term was marred by controversy surrounding the city fire department and the Great Goddard Fire of 1907, the Interurban Strike of 1908, and the battle between the "wet" and "dry" elements which eventually led to the passage of the local option law and a "dry" vote for Delaware County. Therefore, this dissertation is a, chronological account of Guthrie's administration and an examination of the controversies and political turmoil surrounding Guthrie's mayoral years. / Department of History

A obra reinventa os discursos que referem a história da chamada Era de Trujillo da República Dominicana, construindo-se, dentre outros procedimentos poéticos, por meio das categorias estruturais da carnavalização, paródia, dialogismo e intertextualidade. Em função delas, o romance reescreve e problematiza as asserções da história, promovendo, no âmbito poético, novas visões dos fatos do passado. Para o exame dos eventos históricos presentes na narrativa ficcional, este estudo resgata a história da República Dominicana no período que compreende de 1930 a 1961, intervalo temporal que se presentifica na ficção. Além disso, discute brevemente o processo criador de Mario Vargas Llosa, tomando-o como acesso às especificidades do romance focalizado. A análise literária destaca a revisão paródica, que empreende o romance, do mito de Rafael Leonidas Trujillo, o homem forte do período histórico assinalado, e ressalta sua conseqüente desmitificação, que torna evidente a dimensão humana do protagonista. Em conseqüência de tal procedimento, o romance carnavaliza a história, evocando outras possibilidades de leitura dos discursos oficiais. / This study aims to analyze, from a comparatist perspective, both the relations between the fictional and historical discourses and the narrative resources present in Mario Vargas Llosa's historical novel, La fiesta del chivo (2000). The novel reinvents the discourses which refer to the history of the so-called 'Era of Trujillo' in the Dominican Republic by means of, among other poetic procedures, the structural categories of carnavalization, parody, dialogism and intertextuality. By resorting to these categories, the novel rewrites and challenges the assertions of history and promotes new insights on past events. In order to examine the historical events present in the fictional narrative, this study makes reference to the history of the Dominican Republic from 1930 to 1961, which is the period referred to in the work of fiction. This study also briefly discusses Mario Vargas Llosa's creative process and uses it as a way to gain access to the specificities of focalized novel. The literary analysis emphasizes how the novel carries out a parodistic review of the myth of Rafael Leonidas Trujillo, the strogman of the abovementioned period, and highlights his demystification, which makes the human dimension of the main character evident. Due to this procedure, the novel carnavalizes history, making it possible to do alternative readings of historical discourses.
