This thesis analyzes the research of various historical and literary theorists in relation to identification of Otherness in three Spanish works: Cantar de Roldán, Cartas marruecas, and La reina del sur. Throughout the thesis, I analyze hwo the discourse of identification of Otherness has progressed throughout these three works. Each work was chosen as a cultural artifact of its time. I begin the thesis with Cantar de Roldán and analyze how variation in faith served as primary demarcation of Otherness. I then analyze Cartas marruecas and how race also becomes an identifier of Otherness; I end the thesis analyzing La reina del sur and the role of racial discourse as the primary identifier of Otherness. / Master of Arts / This thesis analyzes the research of various historical and literary theorists in relation to identification of Otherness in three Spanish works: Cantar de Roldán, Cartas marruecas, and La reina del sur.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University / As indicated in the subtitle, this thesis is a study of miners, their problems and environment, their hopes and aspirations as portrayed in the field of belles lettres rather than in political, economic and social treatises. The task undertaken is a work of interpretation and synthesis. It is a study of French and Spanish literature dealing with mining and the circumstances which inspired it. This study is concerned with the accuracy as well as the artistry of the fictional portrayals. It endeavors to examine the reality of the social and psychological factors which they reveal. Literature divorced from reality creates an incomplete and false situation which Taine calls, "une illusion de bibliotheque." [TRUNCATED]

Esta tesina examina cómo la novela Castilla, escrita por José Martínez Ruiz (Azorín) ilustra la búsqueda de una identidad española al principio del siglo XX, empleando las teorías freudianas de la melancólica, las teorías de Henri Bergson sobre el índole del tiempo y las aproximaciones al fenómeno de la modernidad. En el año 1898, España perdió su posición imperial y esta novela explora el estado de la sociedad española en consecuencia de este cambio. Por examinar las tradiciones españolas y la literatura del Siglo de Oro desde la perspectiva de la modernidad, Azorín revela una identidad española esencial que perdura a pesar de los eventos históricos. Esta revelación muestra que la esencia española ha quedado lo mismo a pesar de los cambios políticos, históricos y sociales. La estructura de Castilla revela una continuidad en el tiempo y en la vida cotidiana que revela el alma del pueblo español. Esta continuidad aparece con más fuerza en los capítulos del libro cuando Azorín escribe de nuevo los finales de varias obras canónicas del Siglo de Oro, enfatizando una resignación hermosa y melancólica como una parte esencial de esta identidad nacional. Castilla concluye con la imagen de una España fundamentalmente melancólica puesto que la pérdida, del pasado y de la juventud, forma una parte esencial de la vida en sí. Así, el narrador se da cuenta de que el pasado nunca estará olvidado.
