En el mundo globalizado actual constatamos que "hibridez" es la conditio de nuestro ser, pensar y actuar que se concretiza en diversos campos del conocimiento y en diversas disciplinas con diversas aplicaciones, siendo asimismo el resultado de diversas "estrategias de hibridación" discursiva, artística, política, sociológica, filosófica, medial..., que hacen posible una negociación o el cotidiano lidiar de la diferancia y altaridad.:Pasajes heterotópicos – Transculturalidad – Figuras de la hibridez. - Resumen

La elección de los autores y obras aquí estudiados se debe a que son parte de una experiencia, epistemología y concepto de arte "orillas", de los "márgenes", entendido como una perenne oscilación, travesía y recorrido entre los dos lados de las orillas/márgenes. Los autores elegidos son habitantes de varios mundos, al menos de dos, y este "entremedios", esta producción en las intersecciones, es lo que marca su escritura, discurso y performances, en definitiva, su forma de producción.:El naranjo como figura de los pasajes transculturales. - Cartografías de la Otredad: "Cross-Cultural-Border-Land" : Guillermo Gómez Peña, Gloria Anzaldúa y Alberto Kurapel. - Resumen

La presente tesis, inscripta en el marco de las relaciones entre la literatura y el cine, propone un análisis de la influencia del medio audiovisual en textos de la narrativa hispánica desde la perspectiva de la crítica literaria. La hipótesis central plantea esencialmente que algo cambia en la obra de ciertos autores cuando su escritura es atravesada por la experiencia intensa del cine. A partir de allí, pretendo localizar y describir constantes -contemplando también las variables- ocasionadas por el impacto del cine en la prosa literaria en un momento clave de las letras hispánicas: los comienzos del siglo XX. Para ello, abordaré textos literarios cuyos autores resultan paradigmáticos en lo concerniente a la convergencia entre la literatura y el medio cinematográfico en el período comprendido entre los años 1900 y 1930, al que denominaré “Primeras influencias del cine en la literatura hispánica: los pioneros. 1900-1930”, etapa que abarca los comienzos del cine y su consolidación hasta la aparición del sonoro. Las obras de los escritores españoles Ramón Gómez de la Serna y Francisco Ayala, junto al rioplatense Horacio Quiroga, resultan representativas de este período inicial, en tanto se encuentran atravesadas por el surgimiento y afianzamiento del novedoso medio. En todas ellas existe una zona de producción ficcional que la crítica reconoce extraña, diferente, y que resulta complejo -a riesgo de acabar realizando un análisis reduccionista- interpelar con las mismas categorías que el resto de su obra. Esa parte de su escritura coincide justamente con la zona en que hablan de cine. De este modo, la relación con el nuevo medio provoca que dichos autores se tornen menos reconocibles en las zonas de intersección.

The pedracista electoral coalition that was formed in Mexico during the 1828 presidential elections was deliberately ignored by the traditional historiography of the early national period. Instead it concentrated on the leaders of the liberal struggle, deeming this alliance unworthy of study. There were essentially two key reasons why this happened. On the one hand, General Manuel Gómez Pedraza (1789-1851) was not an archetypal liberal patriot in the mould of those heroes that were exalted and written about by Mexico’s Porfirian and PRIísta historians. His politics were associated with a certain ideological indeterminateness as a result of his moderate stance, proving problematic to historians who were intent on developing a liberal and subsequently post-revolutionary historia patria. On the other hand, the official historiography accepted, unquestioningly, the critical version of his actions that his opponents circulated at the time. As a result of this, the yorkino version of the events is the one that prevailed, casting Pedraza in the role of staunch anti-yorkino in a simplistic bipartisan vision of Mexican politics that depicted the political tensions of the time as a clear-cut confrontation between the pedracista aristocrats and the democratic yorkino followers of mulatto hero of the War of Independence, General Vicente Guerrero (1783-1831). This two-dimensional dichotomy has only recently started to be nuanced by the revisionist historiography of the last thirty years. This has been due, in great measure, to the fact that the traditional interpretation of the pedracista coalition posed a number of significant problems when attempting to understand the political behaviour of the people involved. Above all, it was an interpretation that proved incapable of explaining how such a variety of political tendencies, represented by those individuals who joined the alliance that backed Pedraza’s presidential candidacy, could have come together; i.e., anti-masonic groups, the imparciales, certain yorkinos and former escoceses. This thesis aims to explain what brought these individuals, whose political ideas were ostensibly incompatible, together, in what resulted in a particularly resourceful and successful electoral force. The pedracista coalition represented the first political formation in Mexico that came together specifically to win a presidential election. It was one which set out to bring an end to the political interference of Masonic societies in Mexico, and in particular, that of the Rite of York lodges. It also challenged the yorkinos’ electoral campaign by criticising their leader, Guerrero, and, by highlighting the negative aspects of their Masonic faction. It pointed out, moreover, the dangers inherent in a central administration led by guerrerista yorkinos and, in so doing, made clear the problems that were to be found in the political ideas these individuals stood for, depicting them as partisan, ignorant, and representative of the popular classes. The pedracista coalition argued that the presidency needed to go to someone who did not belong to any particular party, who was virtuous, who was renowned for being hard-working and energetic in government, and who belonged to the exclusive circles frequented by the “hombres de bien”. Given that Pedraza won the elections, it is evident that his coalition benefited from a constitutional structure that favoured his candidacy, gaining, at the same time, the public validation of the governmental authorities in place at the time. However, Pedraza’s candidacy was defeated by the armed mobilizations that ensued in the pronunciamientos pro-yorkino followers launched from October to November 1828, and was consequently eliminated from the political scene until late 1832 given that the leaders of the imparciales as well as Pedraza himself chose not to fight back or support a counter-revolution. During the electoral campaign, the pedracista coalition displayed, with astounding clarity, what it thought were the essential qualities a president needed to possess and, likewise presented a distinctive appreciation of how it thought the Mexican political class should behave. In this sense, the coalition’s views, captured in its votes, networks and press articles, offer a fascinating snapshot of what were the fundamental themes of the Mexican republic during its formative years as a nation-state, and how this ignored political grouping interpreted them. Of particular interest is the manner in which the pedracista coalition explored the ways in which political legitimacy, participation and representation were to be understood, defended, and systematised. By studying the pedracista coalition this thesis offers, for the first time, a detailed analysis of the nature and dynamics of Mexican politics in the mid-late 1820s, as experienced, discussed, and represented by the short-lasting yet effective alliance that was forged around the candidacy of Manuel Gómez Pedraza.

A primeira, "Borges e Ramon nas revistas literarias espanholas e argentinas, 1919- 1949", contextualiza a relacao desses dois escritores, sobretudo atraves dos periodicos com os quais colaboraram de 1919 a 1949. A segunda parte compreende tres capitulos, destinados a comparar os livros História universal e Doña Juana. O primeiro deles, "Os percursos da voz, um escritor inexperiente e um super-escritor", parte dos prologos desses livros para abordar a construcao da voz dos narradores, observando as suas implicacoes na imagem dos autores implicitos. "Palavras e disparates, sobre as criaturas infames e super-historicas", segundo capitulo, considera os autores implicitos na sua relacao com os personagens de ficcao. O terceiro capitulo, "A epistemologia de Historia universal e a Superhistoria, ciencia literaria", busca aprofundar os sentidos de "Historia universal" e de "Super-historia" que aparecem nos titulos dos livros, a partir de um corte sincronico que esboca as discussoes criticas e epistemologicas que envolveram o campo da Historia no inicio do seculo XX. O ultimo texto deste trabalho intitula-se "Emblemas do cristal em Borges e Ramon". A maneira de um epilogo, retraca o projeto inicial deste estudo, baseado na conferencia-ensaio de Italo Calvino, "Exatidao" (Seis propostas para o próximo milênio) / Abstract: This doctoral thesis on Jorge Luis Borges' A Universal History of Infamy and Ramon Gomez de la Serna's Doña Juana la Loca, Superhistoria is divided into two parts. The first one entitled "Borges and Ramon in the literary Spanish and Argentine magazines, 1919-1949" discusses in its proper context the relationship between these two authors, especially through the periodical magazines where both collaborated from 1919 to 1949. The second part includes three chapters that compare the books A Universal History and Doña Juana. The first one, "The distances of the voice, an inexpert writer and a superwriter ", departs from the prologues of both books in order to approach the construction of the narrator's voice, observing their implications in the image of implicit authors. "Words and follies, on the infamous and super historical creatures" considers both implicit writers in their relation with fictional characters. The third chapter entitled "The epistemology of Universal History and the Superhistory, literary science" aims to deepen the sense of "Universal History" and "Superhistory" present in the titles of the books, from a synchronous cut that outlines critical and epistemological discussions that involved the field of History in the beginning of the 20th century. Finally, the epilogue of this work, "Emblems of the crystal in Borges and Ramon", returns to the initial goal of this thesis, based on Italo Calvino's conference called "Exactitude" (Six Memos for the Next Millennium) / Doutorado / Literatura Geral e Comparada / Doutora em Teoria e História Literária

This thesis explores the role of translation in the production and manipulation of identities in the contemporary Americas as exemplified in the work of Guillermo Gómez-Peña. Underscoring the instrumentality of borders vis-à-vis dominant constructions of identity and in connection with questions of language, race, and citizenship, I argue that translation not only functions as an agent of hegemonic superiority and oppression, but also as a locus of plurivocity and hybridization. Drawing from the concepts “continuous variation” (Deleuze and Guattari [1987] 2004), “coloniality of power” (Mignolo 2000), and “hybridization” (García-Canclini 1995), I discuss the connection of translation with three main topics: monolingualism, globalization, and racial hybridity. First, I discuss the influence that the dominant ideology of the nation-state has exerted on the way translation has been conceptualized since translation studies emerged as a field. Then I turn to colonial legacies in the Americas and the role of translation in situations of language hegemony as shaped by forces of assimilation and diversification. Finally, I look at translation as a crucial agent for the production and legitimization of Latin American identity throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Viewing translation as a performative and transformative activity, I critique a number of contemporary approaches to translation and I point to new understandings of translation as a cluster concept (Tymoczko 2007) in order to expand translation theory and practice beyond Western paradigms.

Concept-clé de la critique littéraire anglo-saxonne depuis plus d’une cinquantaine d’années, le modernism demeure méconnu en France, du fait de sa proximité avec des concepts voisins, telles la modernité et l’avant-garde, qu’il ne recoupe qu’imparfaitement. S’il peut concerner toutes les tentatives expérimentales dans les différents genres littéraires, c’est le roman qui se trouve au cœur de cette étude, laquelle met en perspective des textes de James Joyce, André Gide, Ramón Gómez de la Serna et Virginia Woolf, souvent victimes d’une forme de binarisme critique. Ils ont en effet longtemps été analysés comme des romans encore mimétiques, plus réalistes que les romans réalistes cependant, ou, plus fréquemment, comme des symboles de l’œuvre autoréférentielle définie par les dogmes new criticists et structuralistes. La présente étude cherche à emprunter une troisième voie, par le biais, notamment, de la théorie littéraire des mondes possibles, davantage susceptible de rendre compte du projet moderniste qui ne vise plus en effet à représenter le réel, mais à créer la vie. L’acception traditionnelle du modernisme en tant qu’ensemble de mouvements est ainsi confrontée à une perspective nouvelle qui permet de l’analyser comme une éthique et une pratique particulière de la fiction. Les romans expérimentaux du début du XXe siècle construisent en effet des univers fictionnels ambigus, informés à la fois par la tradition et par une exigence inédite de modernité, le texte moderniste refusant la table-rase avant-gardiste pour mieux se construire en mémoire vivante de la littérature. C’est ainsi une cartographie critique que la présente étude se propose d’établir, afin de permettre au lecteur l’accès à cette terra incognita du comparatisme hexagonal. / Although it has been a key concept of literary criticism in the English-speaking world for more than a half-century, modernism remains a relatively misunderstood notion in France, owing to its proximity to somewhat close concepts such as modernity and avant-garde, which it only partially overlaps. The concept is relevant to experimentation in all literary genres, but this study focuses on the novel, with texts by James Joyce, André Gide, Ramón Gómez de la Serna and Virginia Woolf. Those have often been mischaracterized by literary critics as either mimetic novels — though more realistic than realist novels — or more frequently as emblematic of the self-referential text, as defined by the dogmas of new criticism and structuralism. This study seeks an alternative to those two limited analytical options, particularly by using possible worlds theory, which is more susceptible of accounting for the modernist project of creating life rather than representing the real. The traditional definition of modernism as an ensemble of movements is therefore confronted to a new perspective which allows for its analysis as a particular ethics and praxis of fiction: the fictional worlds built by experimental novels of the early twentieth century are ambiguous, caught between tradition and modernity, since modernist texts, in becoming the living memory of literature, refuse to erase the past completely. This study thus proposes to establish a critical cartography, one that will allow the reader to access a terra incognita of French comparative studies.

Tesis

The current work aims at comparing two abolitionist novels written by women in the XIX century, one is Úrsula by the Brazilian writer Maria Firmina dos Reis and the other is Sab by the Cuban writer Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda. This work aims at verifying how the feminine authorship became a political place to denounce the slave regime in Brazil and in Cuba in the XIX century. Regarding the comparative literature theories and applying the intertextuality and interdisciplinary comparative presuppositions, it was carried out an analytical study about the corpus. The relevance of this research lies on rethinking the feminine authorship role in the Brazilian and Cuban literature, as well as revisiting the political, social and cultural factors that guided each one of the authors during the production of their abolitionist works. The work analysis allowed us to identify that both writers had an important role in their national literature. Both Maria Firmina dos Reis as Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda were women who dared to make use of the pen and ink in a time that such practice was exclusive for men. Concerning the critics about the feminine condition, in Brazil and in Cuba, both writers raised their voices and made their writing a space to denounce the injustices lived by the eighteenth-century women in their countries. However, when referring to the racial issue, it was found that the abolitionist position in Úrsula is more connected to the defense of racial equality and altruistic issues, while in Sab, through the representation of a gentle slave, it is observed that the defense of the abolition is more connected to the criollo reformism ideals. / O presente trabalho tem como objetivo comparar os romances abolicionistas de duas autoras do século XIX, a saber, Úrsula, da brasileira Maria Firmina dos Reis e Sab, da cubana Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda, a fim de verificar como a autoria feminina constituiu-se como lugar político de denúncia do regime escravocrata, no Brasil e em Cuba, no século XIX. Para que tais objetivos fossem alcançados, realizou-se um estudo analítico do corpus, à luz das teorias da literatura comparada, utilizando-se os pressupostos comparatistas de intertextualidade e interdisciplinaridade. Esta pesquisa justifica-se pela relevância de se repensar o papel da autoria feminina nas literaturas brasileira e cubana, bem como revisitar os fatores políticos, sociais e culturais que levaram cada uma das autoras a produzir uma obra de cunho abolicionista. A análise das obras permitiu identificar que ambas as autoras exerceram um importante papel em suas literaturas nacionais. Tanto Maria Firmina dos Reis quanto Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda foram mulheres que ousaram fazer uso da pena em uma época em que esta prática era quase que uma exclusividade masculina. No que diz respeito às críticas à condição feminina, tanto no Brasil quanto em Cuba, as duas autoras levantaram suas vozes e fizeram de sua escrita um espaço de denúncia para injustiças vivenciadas pelas mulheres oitocentistas nos seus países. Entretanto, no que se refere à questão racial, constatou-se que o posicionamento abolicionista em Úrsula está mais alinhado à defesa da igualdade racial e a questões altruístas, enquanto que em Sab, por meio da representação de um escravo dócil, observa-se uma defesa do abolicionismo mais alinhada aos ideais do reformismo criollo.
