Literary responses to Republican exile are diverse and autobiographical works have emerged as a significant modality of this exilic literature. Utilising poetics as a mode of inquiry, this thesis aims to examine some of the complex and nuanced ways in which exile has shaped autobiographical writing by both first and second-generation female exiles. To this end, I trace a poetics of exile in a selected corpus of nineteen autobiographical works by twelve authors: Constancia de la Mora, Isabel Oyarzábal de Palencia, Silvia Mistral, Clara Campoamor, Victoria Kent, Luisa Carnés, Remedios Oliva Berenguer, Francisca Muñoz Alday, Angelina Muñiz-Huberman, María Rosa Lojo, María Luisa Elío and Arantzazu Amezaga Iribarren. These texts were published across a seventy year period (1939 – 2009) in a number of geographical locations and written in a variety of circumstances. Exilic autobiographical texts are not homogeneous and relatively few have adhered to traditional models of autobiography. As such, the works examined are drawn from a variety of autobiographical sub-genres including propagandistic autobiographies, diaries, political essays, hybrid texts, autofiction, memoirs, childhood autobiographies, more experimental semi-autobiographical texts and a film. The main body of this thesis presents six aspects of a poetics of exile — the notion of the addressee, generic hybridization, polyphony, the propagation of collective memory, postmemory, and retroprogressive representations of childhood — and adopts a multi-disciplinary approach that draws upon a number of fields. This thesis aims to offer an illumination of the breadth and difference of women's exilic autobiographical writing as highlighted in the identification of six very different aspects of a poetics of exile.

Esta dissertação apresenta o estudo de todos os textos poéticos e ensaios que o escritor espanhol Max Aub publicou na revista Cuadernos Americanos, de 1947 a 1971. Além dessa produção, integra o corpus do trabalho a fortuna crítica composta pelos textos escritos em homenagem póstuma ao autor publicados na revista em 1973. Tanto os textos poéticos como os ensaios situam sua obra, escrita durante os anos de exílio no México, como sendo tributária das condições da época. A dissertação dedica-se, assim, a destacar como Aub interpreta seu contexto histórico nesses textos, formulando hipóteses que nem sempre coincidem com os estudos críticos de 1973. / This dissertation presents a study of poetic texts and essays written by the Spanish writer Max Aub, during his exile in Mexico, published in a Journal called Cuardernos Americanos from 1947 to 1971. We added to this corpus critical writings, a posthumous tribute to Aub, which were published in Cuardernos Americanos in 1973. Not only Aubs poetic texts but also his essays situate his work in his historical reality. This study highlights how the this historical context appears in his texts, formulating hypothesis which do not agree with the critical writings.

Ce travail de thèse est consacré principalement à l’étude historiographique et sociologique de l’exil républicain espagnol de 1939 (connu aussi sous le nom de La « Retirada »), en France et au Mexique. Cela nous permet de dévoiler certains points méconnus et les plus critiques de cette partie de l’Histoire du XXe siècle. Nous y avons procédé à un examen panoramique de l’héritage actuel de cette histoire, longtemps restée enfouie dans les mémoires de celles et ceux qui l’on vécue directement ou indirectement.Ainsi, c’est en nous confrontant directement aux mémoires des trois générations d’héritiers de cette mémoire, en particulier en Espagne, en France et au Mexique, que nous avons pu éclaircir certains points jusque-là non abordés, ou faiblement, permettant de la sorte de mettre quelque peu sous rature les blancs encore persistants de cette histoire.Il s’agit d’un travail en trois parties. La première partie rappelle les faits objectifs liés à la guerre civile espagnole (objet de notre investigation) ; on entre de cette façon progressivement dans notre problématique globale : l’exil républicain en France et au Mexique. Peu à peu, nous abordons l’ensemble des événements passés, les objectifs et conséquences de certaines activités humaines, l’attitude de certains héritiers face à leur héritage traumatique, parfois méconnu et/ou oublié. Dans la deuxième partie nous mettons en avant la situation du Mexique Cardeniste 1934-1940, afin de mieux comprendre le rôle du Mexique dans la guerre civile espagnole, l’accueil que le Mexique réserve aux exilés républicains, ainsi que la contribution de l’exil républicain dans l’épanouissement économique, social et culturel du Mexique postrévolutionnaire. Dans la dernière partie, nous faisons un bilan de l’héritage actuel de cette partie de l’histoire du XXe siècle qui affecte encore actuellement des milliers de descendants. Quelques témoignages de première main (transmis ou obtenus suite à des entretiens directs) qui mettent l’accent sur des points très précis, nous prouvent que tout ce qui se rapporte à la révolution espagnole (1931-1939) baigne dans une lumière insolite, à cause de l’absence ou du refus de sa reconnaissance officielle. Par voie de conséquence, les séquelles perdurent et les cicatrices sont toujours très profondes. Nous concluons ce travail par l’examen des oeuvres littéraires et poétiques de Jordi Soler et de Gregorio Oliván, de quelques oeuvres d’art, de différents genres et de différentes époques. Tous ont la particularité de se rapporter à l’exil républicain espagnol. Au-delà de la dimension artistique, leur contenu référentiel peut être considéré comme de dignes témoignages historiques, rendant compte de la triste vérité du drame historique qui fut l’exil républicain de 1939. / This PhD work is mainly devoted to the historiographical and sociological study of the Spanish Republican exile from 1939 (also known as the “Retirada”), in France and Mexico. This allows us to reveal some unknown and the most critical points of this part of the history of the 20th century. We have proceeded to a panoramic review of the current heritage of this history which have been remained buried, for a long time, in the memories of people who have directly or indirectly experienced it. Thus, confronting us directly to the memories of three generations of heirs of this memory, especially in Spain, France and Mexico, we were able to clarify issues, not previously addressed, or poorly. In this way, it allows us to put under erasure some persistent blanks of this history. This work consist of three parts. The first part reminds the objective facts related to the Spanish Civil War (object of our investigation); in this way, we enter gradually into our global issue: Republican exile in France and Mexico. Little by little, we address all past events, the objectives and consequences of human activities, the attitude of some heirs face to their traumatic heritage, sometimes unknown and / or forgotten. In the second part we highlight the situation of Mexico, under the presidency of Cárdenas 1934-1940, in order to better understand the role of Mexico in the Spanish Civil War, the reception reserved by Mexico to the exiled Republicans, and the contribution of the Republican exile in the economic, social and cultural development of Mexico after its own revolution. In the last part, we make a review of the current heritage of this part of the history of the 20th century that still currently affects thousands of descendants. Some testimonies (transmitted or obtained as a result of interviews), that focus on very specific points, prove that all that relates to the Spanish Revolution (1931-1939) is immersed in a strange light, due to the absence or refusal of official recognition. Consequently, the after-effects remain and the scars are still very intense. We conclude this work, examining literary and poetic works of Jordi Soler and Gregorio Oliván, some masterpiece of different genres and periods. All have the characteristic to be related to the Spanish Republican exile. Beyond their artistic dimension, their reference content can be considered as worthy historical testimonies, reflecting the sad truth of the historical tragedy which occurs during the Republican exile in 1939.

Este trabalho propõe-se a examinar a obra Jardín cerrado (1946) de autoria do poeta espanhol Emilio Prados, exilado no México. Tem por objetivo apontar o jardín cerrado como um território de busca da identidade do sujeito lírico, onde se realiza um deslocamento simbólico que é associado ao processo de elaboração poética. O trabalho constrói-se a partir da análise de sete textos poéticos, na sequência dos livros que compõem a obra, e pretende analisá-los sob o signo do trânsito que marca a experiência do exílio republicano espanhol para delinear a proposta de uma poética do escritor. / The proposed study aims to examine the literary work Jardín cerrado (1946) written by the Spanish poet Emilio Prados, exiled in Mexico. It aims to define \"jardín cerrado\" as a search territory of the identity of the lyrical subject where there is a symbolic displacement associated to the process of poetic creation. The study builds on the analysis of seven poetic texts presented according to the sequential books which compose the work. The study intends to analyse them under the image of the passage that describes the experience of the Spanish republican exile to outline the author\'s poetic proposal.

Esta tese consiste no estudo da representação de personagens escritores da obra narrativa de Max Aub (Paris, 1903 Cidade do México, 1972). O corpus está constituído por Campo cerrado (1943), Campo abierto (1951), Campo de sangre (1945), Campo del moro (1963), Campo francés (1965), Campo de los almendros (1968) e Vida y obra de Luis Álvarez Petreña (1971). Propõe-se que os romances citados colocam em movimento um processo de corrosão da imagem de autoridade dos personagens escritores. Tal processo contamina também a figura de Aub, que encena, nos Campos e em Vida y obra..., um debate sobre a diluição de seu poder de narrar. O lócus de enunciação do autor, que escreve a partir do exílio, consciente da derrota dos republicanos na Guerra Civil Espanhola (1936-1939), incrusta-se na forma dos romances, fraturando a imagem de potência dos personagens escritores. / This thesis examines the representation of characters who are writers in Max Aubs narrative work (Paris, 1903 Mexico City, 1972). The corpus is composed of Campo cerrado (1943), Campo abierto (1951), Campo de sangre (1945), Campo del moro (1963), Campo francés (1965), Campo de los almendros (1968) and Vida y obra de Luis Álvarez Petreña (1971). The study proposes that the aforementioned novels put in motion a process of corrosion of these characters image of authority. This process also contaminates the figure of Aub, who performs in Campos and Vida y obra..., a debate about the dilution of his power to narrate. The lócus of the authors enunciation, who writes from exile, and is aware of the Republicans defeat in the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), embeds in the form of those novels, and fractures the image of potency of the characters who are writers.

Al costat de la causa republicana va estar majorment la societat argentina, però el govern es va amagar darrera una política de abstenció amb respecte a la mateixa, primer, i de reconeixement del nou govern espanyol després, encobrint una conducta conservadora que recolzava la causa nacional. El conflicte espanyol va ser un dels fets que majoritàriament va impactar en la societat i política argentina fragmentant partits, produint escissions en els Centres regionals i fent que el govern adoptés mesures opressores a l’oposició, a més de restringir les polítiques migratòries. El refugiat republicà va passar a convertir-se en un refugiat indesitjable. Primer fou la guerra civil, després l’exili provocant que la societat hispano-argentina intensifiqués tot un sistema d’ajudes que havien estat agilitzant des del principi mateix de l’enfrontament, a traves de centenars d’organitzacions i comitès d’auxili pro-republicans. La premsa bonaerense y de Mar del Plata, independent o de partit, a través del seu rol com actriu política i creadora d’opinió pública no fou indiferent a l’esdeveniment espanyol. / A favor de la causa republicana estuvo mayoritariamente la sociedad argentina, sin embargo el gobierno se salvaguardó detrás de una política de prescindencia con respecto a la misma, primero, y de reconocimiento del nuevo gobierno español después, encubriendo una conducta conservadora que apoyaba la causa nacional. El conflicto español fue uno de los sucesos que mayormente impactó en la sociedad y política argentina fragmentando partidos, produciendo escisiones en los Centros regionales y haciendo que el gobierno adoptara medias opresoras a la oposición, además de restringir las políticas migratorias. El refugiado republicano pasó a convertirse en un refugiado indeseable. Primero fue la guerra civil, después fue el exilio provocando que la sociedad hispano-argentina intensificara todo un sistema de ayudas que habían estado agilizando desde el inicio mismo de la contienda, a través de centenares de organizaciones y comités de auxilio pro-republicanos. La prensa bonaerense y de Mar del Plata, independiente o de partido, a través de su rol como actriz política y creadora de opinión pública no fue indiferente al evento español. / Favourable to the republican cause was the Argentinean society, however the government initially chose an abstention’s position and than recognized the new Spanish government, hiding a conservative policy supporting the national cause. The Spanish conflict was one of the events that most had an influence on the Argentinean society and politics dividing parties and Regional Centres. The government passed measures against any possible political extremism and limited the migration policies, as far as possible. Therefore the republican refugees became undesirable exiles. First the Civil War and then the exile pressed the Spanish-Argentinean society to create, and intensify, a system of assistance working through hundreds of pro-republican organizations and committees. The press of Buenos Aires and Mar del Plata, independent or not, through its role as political actor and creator of public opinion was not indifferent to the Spanish event.
