Sujetos latinoamericanos entre fronteras en tres novelas contemporáneas: “Balún Canán”, “Dreaming in Cuban” y “Chambacú”Ramirez, Liliana 01 January 2003 (has links)
Esta disertación estudia la construcción de sujetos en tres novelas latinoamericanas de la segunda mitad del siglo XX: Balún-Cavan (1957) de Rosario Castellanos, Dreaming in Cuban (1992) de Cristina García y Chambacú (1967) de Manuel Zapata Olivella. Para llevar a cabo este estudio parto aquí de la noción foucaultiana de discursos como prácticas que estructuran nuestro sentido de realidad al construir nociones como las de sujeto e identidad desde las que nos pensamos y actuamos. Es a partir del examen de estas nociones que analizo cómo han sido construido los sujetos en los textos escogidos, desde qué discursos. La nación, el género, la hibridez y la alteridad son los discursos que se enfatizan en el análisis de sujetos y de la construcción de identidades realizado aquí. La lectura de estos textos se lleva a cabo siguiendo pensadores como James Clifford y su noción de nativo híbrido y culturas como rutas, Gloria Anzaldúa y su noción de fronteras como heridas vivas y abiertas, Mary Louise Pratt y sus zonas de contacto, Benedict Andersen y su nación como comunidad imaginada, Cornejo Polar y su crítica del mestizaje como resolutorio, Benítez Rojo y su postulación de la criollización como movimiento del caos, Stuart Hall y su noción de identidades como reposicionamientos. Todos estos pensadores y nociones cuestionan la bipolaridad Sujeto/Otro. Este cuestionamiento es la columna central de esta disertación que pretende no sólo ver en los textos analizados cómo los llamados tradicionalmente Otros (mujeres, US Latinos, Afrocolombianos, indígenas) son construidos como sujetos, sino cómo es replanteada en ese intento la bipolaridad tradicional. Cómo Sujeto y Otro terminan siendo Alteridad. Siendo. Por eso a partir de ello no es posible hablar de su identidad sino de sus identidades, de sus siendo en esas identidades y discursos.

Magic realism and social protest in Spanish America and the United States: These illusions called AmericaRodgers, Jennifer Clare 01 January 2002 (has links)
Magic realism emerged as a literary force in Latin America in the 1940s, and it has continued to have an impact on literature throughout the Americas through the start of the twenty-first century. In recent years, a number of postcolonial scholars have noted that magic realist texts are being used as a form of social protest throughout the world. These scholars have labeled magic realism subversive, hybrid, mestizo, or “impure.” The implications of the relationship between magic realist literature and social protest, however, have not been the focus of detailed scholarship. This study explores the relationship between magic realism and social protest in novels written in Latin America and the United States between 1950 and 1990, seeking to determine why the literary mode of magic realism is an effective vehicle for addressing volatile social issues. Organized chronologically, the study begins with an overview of the term “magic realism” and a brief discussion of some of the important predecessors of magic realist literature in the Americas. Later chapters use a range of theoretical tools within a comparative framework in order to perform detailed analysis of specific writers—Juan Rulfo, Elena Garro, Gabriel García Márquez, Isabel Allende, Rudolfo Anaya, Alma Luz Villanueva, Toni Morrison, and Linda Hogan—in order to explore how magic realist techniques have been adapted to different forms of protest according to each author's time and geographical space.
