Revisionismo histórico en El hombre que amaba a los perros de Leonardo PaduraVertiz Nunez, Marietta 11 1900 (has links)
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.

A Pragmatic Standard of Legal ValidityTyler, John 2012 May 1900 (has links)
American jurisprudence currently applies two incompatible validity standards to determine which laws are enforceable. The natural law tradition evaluates validity by an uncertain standard of divine law, and its methodology relies on contradictory views of human reason. Legal positivism, on the other hand, relies on a methodology that commits the analytic fallacy, separates law from its application, and produces an incomplete model of law.
These incompatible standards have created a schism in American jurisprudence that impairs the delivery of justice. This dissertation therefore formulates a new standard for legal validity. This new standard rejects the uncertainties and inconsistencies inherent in natural law theory. It also rejects the narrow linguistic methodology of legal positivism.
In their stead, this dissertation adopts a pragmatic methodology that develops a standard for legal validity based on actual legal experience. This approach focuses on the operations of law and its effects upon ongoing human activities, and it evaluates legal principles by applying the experimental method to the social consequences they produce. Because legal history provides a long record of past experimentation with legal principles, legal history is an essential feature of this method.
This new validity standard contains three principles. The principle of reason requires legal systems to respect every subject as a rational creature with a free will. The principle of reason also requires procedural due process to protect against the punishment of the innocent and the tyranny of the majority. Legal systems that respect their subjects' status as rational creatures with free wills permit their subjects to orient their own behavior. The principle of reason therefore requires substantive due process to ensure that laws provide dependable guideposts to individuals in orienting their behavior.
The principle of consent recognizes that the legitimacy of law derives from the consent of those subject to its power. Common law custom, the doctrine of stare decisis, and legislation sanctioned by the subjects' legitimate representatives all evidence consent.
The principle of autonomy establishes the authority of law. Laws must wield supremacy over political rulers, and political rulers must be subject to the same laws as other citizens. Political rulers may not arbitrarily alter the law to accord to their will.
Legal history demonstrates that, in the absence of a validity standard based on these principles, legal systems will not treat their subjects as ends in themselves. They will inevitably treat their subjects as mere means to other ends. Once laws do this, men have no rest from evil.
