The following study deals with politeness and the degree to which it is employed by Swedes and native Spanish speakers, or Hispanos, when speaking Spanish. Also dealt with are the perceptions these speakers have regarding their personal proficiencies in Spanish as well as others’ and the extent to which politeness is utilised during discourse in Spanish between the people claiming these ethnic identities. The ethnic identities studied are Swedes and Hispanos living in Sweden, speaking both Spanish and Swedish fluently. The study serves to investigate the probability of one ethnic group being more polite than the other and seeks to determine which one it is. The use of a questionnaire was made to gather information to be used to resolve the research questions in addition to proving the various hypotheses. A total of 60 questionnaires were handed out, with each one containing 54 questions encompassing a number of subjects. Out of these 60 questionnaires, 45 were returned. Additionally, the respondents were grouped into two sets. The first included persons perceived by the author to be Hispanos, the second included persons perceived to be Swedish. The questionnaires were divided equally among these two groups. The resulting information was then applied to the hypotheses and used to respond to the research questions. The results of this investigation showed that both Swedes and Hispanos were more polite when speaking Spanish with Swedes, although the Hispanos are shown to generally be more polite. Although answering every research question, the results proved only the final hipothesis, effectively rendering the first two hypotheses incorrect.

The ideals disseminated by Napoleonic imperialism were affecting Europe, while the political crisis was aggravated and the resistence movements increased in the Iberian peninsula. The platine region was affected by the political actions under way in this such scenario: the dynastic legitimacy crisis following the imprisonment of Fernando VII, the revolutionary movements, and the daring project of Carlota Joaquina to became the Regent of Spain composed a favorable environment for the Portuguese diplomacy to implement its old expansionist project. Therefore, the reconstruction of the political events surrounding – and even motivating – both Portuguese interventions in the Eastern Zone of Uruguay will be sought in this paper.

Ce mémoire de maîtrise a pour visée d’étudier la spécificité antiautoritaire du discours narratif de l’écrivaine argentine Luisa Valenzuela. Le corpus étudié comprend des nouvelles publiées dans les livres Cambio de armas (1982) et Simetrías (1993), écrites respectivement durant la dictature militaire (1976-1983) et dix ans après le retour à la démocratie. L’analyse des nouvelles dialogue avec l’essai de l’écrivaine, Peligrosas palabras (2001), et avec les différentes perspectives théoriques que nous adoptons dans chacun des chapitres (sociolinguistique, théorie féministe et critique culturelle). Cette recherche fera ressortir comment l’expression du désir dans les textes de Luisa Valenzuela critique les relations de domination présentes dans la dictature et dans la société patriarcale. Les textes étudiés 1) dénoncent les effets de la politique répressive sur le sujet en exposant la sexualité et en rejetant la séparation entre les sphères publique et privée; 2) ils soulignent la matérialité du corps, qui est marqué par les relations sociales et les rapports de pouvoir, à partir de laquelle il est possible de construire une objectivité féminine hors de l’opposition entre corps et esprit; 3) ils créent de nouvelles formes de représentation de la mémoire qui permettent de redéfinir la relation à l’histoire et à l’Autre. Dans le langage de Valenzuela, le désir se présente alors comme une revendication de relations sociales justes et d’une vision alternative du langage, de la subjectivité et de la mémoire. / This thesis studies the antiauthoritarian specificity of the short stories that Luisa Valenzuela published in the Cambio de armas (1982) and Simetrías (1993), written during the military dictatorship (1976-1983), and ten years after the return to dictatorship. The analysis of the stories establishes a dialogue with Valenzuela’s essay Peligrosas palabras (2001) and with different theoretical perspectives that we study in each chapter (socio-linguistic, feminist theory, and cultural criticism). This study emphasizes how the expression of desire, in Valenzuela’s work, criticizes the relations of domination that appear during the dictatorship and in the patriarchal society. The short stories 1) denounce the effects of repression on the subject trough open sexuality and a rejection of the public-private division: 2) underline the materiality of the body, marked by social and power relations, allowing for the creation of a feminine objectivity without separating the body from the mind; 3) create new ways of representing memory, allowing for a redefinition of the relations to history and to the other. In Valenzuela’s discourse, desire is presented as a demand for equality in social relationships, and for an alternative vision of language, subjectivity, and memory. / Esta memoria tiene como objetivo estudiar la especificidad antiautoritaria de la narrativa breve de la escritora argentina Luisa Valenzuela. El corpus estudiado consta de cuentos provenientes de los libros Cambio de armas (1982) y Simetrías (1993), escritos respectivamente durante la dictadura militar (1976-1983) y diez años después de la vuelta a la democracia. El análisis de los cuentos entra en diálogo con el ensayo de la autora, Peligrosas palabras (2001), y con las diferentes perspectivas teóricas que adoptamos en cada capítulo (socio-lingüística, teoría feminista y crítica cultural). Esta investigación destaca cómo la expresión del deseo en los textos de Valenzuela construye una crítica de las relaciones de dominación presentes tanto en la dictadura como en la sociedad patriarcal. Los cuentos 1) denuncian los efectos de la política represiva sobre el sujeto al exponer la sexualidad y al rechazar la separación de los ámbitos privados y públicos; 2) subrayan la materialidad del cuerpo marcado por las relaciones sociales y las fuerzas del poder, a partir de la cual se construye una objetividad femenina que no separa la mente del cuerpo; 3) crean nuevas formas de representar la memoria, permitiendo redefinir la relación con la historia y con el otro. El deseo se presenta, en la obra de Valenzuela, como una reivindicación de relaciones sociales equitativas y de una visión alternativa del lenguaje, la subjetividad y la memoria.
