No. of bitstreams: 1 arquivo total.pdf: 8206754 bytes, checksum: 021939cbd3fccc15e2722888c92df444 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2015-03-27 / A lo largo de nuestro estudio, abordamos dos novelas, Caramelo, de Sandra Cisneros y En el nombre de Salomé, de Julia Alvarez, con nuestra mirada crítica centrada en las protagonistas de ambas narrativas. Las voces de estas mujeres, y las historias que desvelan, construyen puentes entre culturas diversas – las de sus comunidades de origen, latinoamericanas, y la de arribada, estadounidense. El trayecto de un lado al otro conlleva marcas de tensiones, prejuicios, violencias, pero también resistencias y traducción cultural. Las habilidades para el tránsito (cultural, linguístico, entre otros) se fundamentan en los vestigios de memorias y en los propios cuerpos de los personajes, pues, gracias a ellos, estos se desplazan y rememoran momentos fundamentales, con el fin de reestructurar alguna noción de self en el entre-lugar. A tal efecto, las historias del pasado se vinculan con las del presente, tejiendo un lastre cultural que no es homogéneo, al integrar, por lo menos, dos vivencias, dos mundos yuxtapuestos y en diálogo tenso. Elegimos cuerpo y memoria como nuestras principales categorías de análisis, ambas tratadas a partir de una perspectiva comprometida con los estudios de género y culturales, contando con Sarlo (2007), Bordo (1993; 1990), Klahn (2003; 2000), Anzaldúa (1987; 2014), Smith y Watson (2010), y Almeida (2013) como nuestros principales apoyos teóricos. Buscamos constatar si, en las dos novelas, la memoria va más allá y habla a través de los cuerpos de las protagonistas, arrancando del silencio sujetos en ocasiones invisibilizados y silenciados y, al mismo tiempo, verificar si tal fenómeno se manifiesta de forma semejante en las dos narrativas y cuáles son los impactos de esta revelación. / In our study, we analyze two novels, that are, Caramelo, by Sandra Cisneros, and En el nombre de Salomé, by Julia Alvarez, focusing the two protagonists of both narrative, mainly interested in these women's voices and the stories they unveil while constructing bridges between these diverse cultures - the one of their original, Latin American culture, and the one in which they get inserted afterwards - the North American one. The trajectory from one side to the other is marked by tension, prejudice, violence, but also by resistence and cultural translation. The abilities for the transit (cultural, linguistic, among others) find their basis on the residues of memory and in the bodies of the subjects, since it is through these elements that they are able to move and remember fundamental moments so as to reestructure their notion of self in between. So, stories from the past are juxtaposed to those of the present, producing a cultural support that is not homogeneous, integrating at least two ways of living, two worlds brought together in a tense dialogue. Thus, we elect as our main categories of analysis the memory and the body, both looked at from a perspective compromised with gender and cultural studies, having Sarlo (2007), Bordo (1993; 1990), Klahn (2003; 2000), Anzaldúa (1987; 2014), Smith and Watson (2010) and Almeida (2013) as our main theoretical foundation. We verify, in a comparative way, how memory crosses the bodies of both protagonists, speaking through them while taking these subjects out of their previous silent positions, critically considering the results of such unveiling in each narrative. / Ao longo de nosso estudo enfocamos dois romances, Caramelo, de Sandra Cisneros e En el nombre de Salomé, de Julia Alvarez, centrando nosso olhar crítico nas protagonistas de ambas as narrativas. As vozes destas mulheres e as estórias que desvelam constroem pontes entre culturas diversas – as de suas comunidades de origem, latino-americanas, e a de chegada, estadunidense. O trajeto de um lado a outro tem marcas das tensões, preconceitos, violências, mas também resistências e tradução cultural. As habilidades para o trânsito (cultural, linguístico, entre outros), apoiam-se nos vestígios de memórias e nos próprios corpos das personagens, pois é através deles que elas se locomovem e relembram de momentos fundamentais a fim de reestruturar alguma noção de self no entre-lugar. Para tanto, as histórias do passado se alinham às do presente, tecendo um lastro cultural que não é homôgeneo, por integrarem pelo menos duas vivências, dois mundos justapostos e em diálogo tenso. Elegemos como nossas principais categorias de análise corpo e memória, ambas enfocadas a partir de uma perspectiva comprometida, com os estudos de gênero e culturais, tendo Sarlo (2007), Bordo (1993;1990), Klahn (2003; 2000), Anzaldúa (1987; 2014), Smith e Watson (2010), e Almeida (2013) como nossos principais apoios teóricos. Buscamos verificar se nos dois romances a memória perpassa e fala através dos corpos das protagonistas, arrancando do silêncio sujeitos por vezes invisibilizados e silenciados e, ao mesmo tempo, verificando se tal fenômeno se mostra de forma semelhante nas duas narrativas e quais os impactos desse desvelamento.

The literature written and being spoken by writers of Mexican origin in the United States continues to reformulate the notion of borders as well as subjects and forms within and beyond the house leitmotif. Writings by Sandra Cisneros, Pat Mora, and Tomás Rivera construct public and private spaces that merit validation in historical, literary, and cultural contexts. As architects, Chicana and Chicano writers challenge the nationalist canon and house. / text

El presente trabajo analiza la aproximación al haiku de Javier Sologuren y Alfonso Cisneros Cox en el marco del creciente interés por este género a nivel latinoamericano. El análisis se centra en la comparación de los haikus con el modelo clásico japonés, tal como lo practicó Matsuo Bashō, siguiendo las teorías de los estudiosos Keene, Rodríguez Izquierdo, Rubio, Blyth y Haya Segovia. El haiku es valorado y ponderado como una expresión poética orientada a evocar un instante de experiencia en la naturaleza, logrando despertar el asombro ante la maravilla de la existencia. Los resultados del trabajo revelan la íntima afinidad de ambos poetas con el género, las modalidades de apropiación que practicaron, la priorización de ciertos aspectos estilísticos y espirituales en su comprensión del haiku, la innovación en los recursos para lograrlo y la singularidad de sus creaciones, basada en la mezcla auténtica del género con sus propias poéticas. La principal conclusión que puede desprenderse de este trabajo es que los autores asimilaron este género poético para dar forma y expresión a su particular sensibilidad e integrarlo a la tradición poética peruana. / Tesis

Swedish curricula and syllabi constitute a richness of different considerations. Withinthis composition of principles, it is distinctly declared that all Swedish schools should counteract any inclination of discrimination and that intolerance must be answered with different measures, including knowledge (Skolverket, 2011b, 1). Scrutinizing ways in which knowledge can be used as an instrument towards these issues is therefore incentivized. On this token, the following essay investigates the potentiality of usingthe novel The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros in English 7 instruction in upper secondary school, as teaching material for imparting knowledge about different forms of discrimination. To achieve this purpose, the essay first examines the experiences of narrator and protagonist Esperanza Cordero through close reading, to explore how tacit and explicit racial and class-based discrimination shape her identity and inhibit her sense of belonging. Belonging is conceptualized through Benedict Anderson’s notion of imagined communities wherein an individual is viewed as bargaining for belonging towards delimited and delimiting communities. Identity is viewed through a sociological lens as a transformative, negotiable, and revocable phenomenon and as interlinked with asymmetrical power relations. In addition, the essay analyses the findings from the close reading in relation to the syllabus for the course English 7, and the curriculum for upper secondary school. On this basis, the essay maintains that The House on Mango Street is suitable teaching material for the course English 7 at upper secondary school. The results indicate an alignment between the principles stated in the steering documents and the findings of the analyses, illustrating the applicability of The House on Mango Street as teaching material within a Swedish school setting. Furthermore, the results reveal how the novel presents teachers with ample opportunities to mediate how forms of discrimination are intertwined with questions of identity and belonging.
