(Abstract) "Both William Faulkner and Gabriel García Márquez introduce the olfactory as a focal element in their writing, producing works that challenge the singular primacy of sight as the unrivaled means by which the New World might be understood...their fictional olfactory situations and language establish a critique of the modern era, of an all-too-Cartesian modernity in the world, and point to a new poetics specifically for the New World, where there might still be hope for the memory and the promise of a land that is 'fresh from the hand of God.'"

(Abstract) "In One Hundred Years of Solitude, the character development of the mater familias protagonist Ursula Iguarán along with her daughter, Amaranta Buendía and her daughter-in-law Rebeca Buendía are analyzed critically and theoretically through textual references and criticism...What we find are independent, desirable women subjects whose energetic determination empowers them and the society in which they live."

(Abstract) "This thesis argues that, fashion notwithstanding, archetype and myth provide the most compelling guide for analyzing two works by García Márquez--- One Hundred Years of Solitude and Love in the Time of Cholera...the thesis emphasizes Campbell's idea that myth, a universal language, is inspired by the body's energies, a view in which lungs, heart, intestines, skin, and genitals are messengers carrying the answer to the question of human existence."

It focuses on the notions of subjectivity, identity, temporality, truth, gender, race, ideology, image, memory, body, eroticism and ideology as represented in the symbolic space of autobiographical discourse of ten key authors (Reinaldo Arenas, Jorge Luis Borges, José Donoso, Salvador Elizondo, Gabriel García Márquez, Margo Glantz, Juan Goytisolo, Pablo Neruda, Severo Sarduy, Mario Vargas Llosa) of twentieth century literary tradition in Spanish/Latin American Literature."

(abstract) "This study examines the concepts of the archive and the manuscript, and how they are playfully raided by Barges, Puig and Márquez in Cervantes' shadow. At the same time, this study is on narrative theory, and also looks at Cervantes' influence on Latin American writers." Ph.D. Dissertation.

(Abstract) "This dissertation studies how textual representation can transform violence into a force that consolidates the affective and normative structures of a community. In the works studied here, violence is portrayed as a destructive and frightening phenomenon, but also as an experience of survival that strengthens communal ties. My analysis is based on theories of the nation as an entity constructed through narratives of violence, and my focus is Colombia, a country with a conflictive process of national consolidation...works included here are a textbook compiled in 1910 to teach national history in secondary schools, a sociological study of violence as a national problem from 1962, two early novels by Gabriel García Márquez, two compilations of testimonial narratives, by Alfredo Molano and Patricia Lara, a novel by Fernando Vallejo and another by Laura Restrepo." Ph.D Dissertation.
