"This thesis offers a discussion of spiralisme and of its contribution to the domain of Francophone Caribbean letters during the latter half of the twentieth century. In a literary universe dominated by "big voices" from the French overseas department of Martinique, the Haiti-born spiralisme has long remained ignored in, underappreciated by, and excluded from discussion among Francophonists. My project sets out to rectify this situation, not only by offering a thorough presentation of the spiralist novel in and of itself, but also, and perhaps more importantly, by integrating spiralisme into a larger post-colonial Caribbean context."

Notes:
The novels about Latin American dictatorships are formed by elements that denounce the social, political, and economic problems of the towns that configure the Latin American world. Their main objective is to create a conscience of injustice and of the damage that men are submitted to in their environment. So that, the theme in "La figura literaria del dictador en "Tirano Banderas,"" "El Señor Presidente," and "El Otoño del Patriarca" studies the similarities and the differences in these novels with other Latin American authors who have studied the theme of dictatorships. By studying the thematic and stylistic development of these novels, we can see that Ramón del Valle-Inclán, Miguel Angel Asturias, and Gabriel García Márquez enter in the field of experimentation. In this way, the works contribute to the creation of a critical space that facilitates the study, interpretation, and the knowledge of the works that literally deal with the theme of Latin American dictatorship.

According to the author, journalism, commonly classified as a literary sub genre, has been a constant presence for García Márquez. The reading of García Márquez's journalistic work in relation to his fiction is essential to complement his narrative world because in his first journalistic period (1948-1960), the Nobel prize-winner experiments with a variety of styles, techniques, and genres that culminate in his masterpiece.

This study defines the "Boom" in the new Hispanic American novel between the years 1962 and 1968 beginning from a proposal that is interrelated with the social context of the group of countries where it arises and that of texts that, because they were experimental, were considered aesthetically isolated and new. The following novels are studied: La casa verde, Rayuela, Cien años de soledad, La muerte de Antonio Cruz, Gracias por el juego, and José Trigo.

Notes:
This dissertation seeks to outline a theory of the Spanish-American being through the art, following an interpretative method that traces certain symbolic constants, which in turn indicate a way of being more or less permanent. This thesis also analytically studies five novels and five themes: Pedro Páramo and ambiguity; Rayuela and intermittence; La casa verde and precariousness; El obsceno pájaro de la noche and insularity; and Cien años de soledad and fable. In a synthetic form, the problem of instability in the most transparent region can be seen.

"In this study I explore how three texts from the Colombian Caribbean challenge the notion of a consolidated nation-state and its rhetoric of complete mestizaje, late into the 20th century. With Cien años de soledad by Gabriel García Márquez as the backdrop of my analysis, I unveil the treatment of race, myth, and history respectively in the three novels and how violence shapes the meanings of these categories. The first chapter focuses on Chambacú, corral de negros (1967) by Manuel Zapata Olivella. In this chapter, I define this novel as a depository of the memory of slavery in Colombia that asserts an African heritage in the Northern Coast. At the aesthetic level, I discuss Zapata Olivella's use of social realist narrative style to articulate the identity and history of Afro-Colombians. The second chapter examines Alvaro Cepeda Samudio's La casa grande (1962) to explore the strategies he employs to recover and revise the events of the Massacre of the Banana Workers in 1928. In my reading, the massacre emerges as the first wound that causes the disarticulation of the consolidation process of the modern Colombian nation-state. The last chapter centers on Los Pañamanes (1979) by Fanny Buitrago. I define the legend of the Spanish Man, the foundational legend of the island and the text's organizing element, as a myth of origins that delineates the novel's space as a product of violence and penetration. I establish the use of myth as anti-myth to separate and divide, and to mark the difference that separates the insular space and the continental nation-state. In my conclusion, I return to Cien años de soledad to explore how processes of reception and canonization in the symbolic market are "produced" following strategies derived from the failed encounter between cultural modernism and social modernization."

"This dissertation studies eight Spanish-American writers (Isabel Allende, Miguel Angel Asturias, Alejo Carpentier, José Donoso, Carlos Fuentes, Joáo Guimaráes Rosa, Gabriel García Márquez, and Juan Rulfo) and two French Caribbean writers (Maryse Condé and Simone Schwarz-Bart) and explores the use in their works of "magic realism" as an allegory of the colonial experience. Beginning in Chapter One with the work of Alejo Carpentier,... I have attempted to illustrate that the novel studies the trauma of colonialism and its enduring effects. Chapter Two examines the history and describes the elements that make up magic realism, illustrating its varied aspects with examples from the works of the authors cited above. Chapter Three deals with the history and description of allegory and shows how its characteristics mirror those of magic realism. Chapter Four studies the work of the two French Caribbean authors and explores the limits of allegory as seen in the work of Simone Schwarz-Bart. The conclusion makes use of a novel by New Zealand author, Janet Frame, to illustrate the fact that magic realism is found, not only in so-called "post-colonial" countries, but in the work of First World authors, where the effects of oppression are evident in the lives of the "colonizers" as well."

"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 post-colonial 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 in 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."

"This dissertation analyzes three detective novels of the post-boom in Latin American literature. The appropriation of the genre by authors included in this study- Gabriel García Márquez, Luisa Valenzuela, and Leonardo Padura Fuentes- is, I contend, a strategic appropriation of popular culture through which various social, political, and cultural master narratives existent in Latin America are examined. The introduction first discusses how the Boom novels' self-reflexiveness led to demands for a more explicitly politically committed literature, which the appropriation of the detective genre fulfilled while continuing the Boom's preoccupation with writing's traditional support of dominant power structures in Latin America... Chapter one reveals how Crónica de una muerte anunciada by Gabriel García Márquez undermines the concept of causality. Through this questioning, the novel reflects on the arbitrary processes of exclusion through which the writing of history is made possible, a literary preoccupation that gains its political edge through detective fiction and journalism's common root in the classical-realist narrative that Crónica de una muerte anunciada critiques."

"The objective of this dissertation is to show that the Caribbean culture plays an essential role in Gabriel García Márquez's works, determining space, and structure and influencing his characters. In his books, the novelist revisits the first colonial chroniclers' vision and presents the Caribbean as a unified anthropological marvel, which irradiates from the West-Indian archipelago towards the southern portion of United States, Central America, and the northern zone of South America. The Caribbean culture is not only a vital source from which his narrative is born, but he cleaves his novelistic space into two opposite worlds, converting them in hyperbolic antinomies."

"The figurative movement of women from the private space of the home to the public forum gradually materialized in Latin-American literature over the course of the twentieth century. This particular literary transition substantially mirrored the progress of the feminist sociopolitical movement, in which women retained their affiliation with the home as an integral component of their identity, even as they sought to escape its confines. My investigation treats the utilization of the domestic sphere as a microcosmic model of dominance Hasta no verte Jesús by Elena Poniatowska, La increíble y triste historia de la cándida Eréndira by Gabriel García Márquez, and Afrodita: cuentos, recetas y otros afrodisíacos by Isabel Allende."

This thesis attempts to explore the works of G. García Márquez, F. Cruz Kronfly, G. Espinosa y A. Mútis that propose a new image of Simón Bolívar, agent of the independence of the 19th century. Here, the purpose of thematic convergence and historical intent from the last two decades of the 20th century in the light of the complexity and tension presented in the Bolivar project of social unification of the American subcontinent during its national formation in the 19th century is investigated. It is proven that through these narrative works a divergence from the traditional historic discourse of the historic mother countries is manifested. In these, the dismount of the complex social and cultural condition, as well as the reconstruction of the present national panorama is proposed.

"This dissertation demonstrates generic dislocation as a constant in the short fiction of three contemporary Latin American writers: Julio Ramón Ribeyro, Gabriel García Márquez, and Augusto Monterroso. In the work of these three authors, the short story does not denote a text with fixed characteristics. Rather, it indicates a textual space for diverse expressive possibilities, even though the category "short story" continues to be pertinent in its instrumental value. This analysis of stories by the mentioned authors indicates that generic subversion also nurtures a play on the boundaries among different types of writing... In the works of Gabriel García Márquez, genres played which include: the autobiography, travel books, theater programs, the police report, and oral narrative."

Notes:
"This study explores the representation of women in contemporary magic realist texts from Latin America, English Canada, and Quebec. From a feminist standpoint, it examines how men and women writers represent women characters in texts that allegorically use supernatural power to denaturalize social power. Intracultural and intercultural considerations of these New World texts reveal shared approaches, both positive and negative, to women's identities and roles. In the more progressive works - Isabel Allende's La casa de los espíritus, Jack Hodgin's The Invention of the World, Anne Hérbert's Les fous de Bassan, and Michel Tremblay's La grosse femme d" à côté est enceinte- women characters use naturalized supernaturalism (defined as the casual presence of the supernatural in the natural world) to affirm feminine subjectivity and freedom. The assumption of mythic forms or an engagement with the occult can give a female character mobility, spiritual freedom, and pleasure. But the power figuratively expressed through the supernatural is denied women in Gabriel García Márquez's Cien años de soledad, Sheila Watson's The Double Hook, Anne Hérbert's "L"ange de Dominique," and Jack Ferron's L"amélanchier.

"The purpose of this study is to explore the intersection of literature and illness in order to demonstrate that disease metaphor is an effective tope for Latin American authors seeking to represent topics that have been culturally and historically pathologized in both national society and/or literature. It analyzes the way the rhetoric of the somatic for pathological was used at the end of the 19th century. It also traces the development of this rhetoric into the following century. The dissertation begins with an overview of general literary theory dealing with diseases and representation focusing on Susan Sontag, Julia Epstein, and Sander Gilman. It offers a linguistic perspective on the functioning of metaphor as well. By bringing the ideas of medical historian Charles Rosenberg to bear on this linguistic discussion the author defines the notion of the frame and framing. Frames can be understood as parallel to the concept of the artist's convention- constructs that inform the perception of disease as both a biological event and a social occurrence. Tuberculosis, cholera, and sexually transmitted diseases (AIDS in particular) are the illnesses central to this study. The Latin American writers Abraham Valdelomar, Manuel Puig, Gabriel García Márquez, and Reinaldo Arenas employ metaphors with these diseases in order to engage specific socio-historic material via frames."

"By redefining social or economic "classes" as cultures, or as Raymond Williams explains, groups that share a "structure of feeling," the dissertation defines power in accordance with the shared values, beliefs, attitudes, and practices defined by the culture of persistence and the culture of wealth. With culturally determined definitions of power in place, the dissertation argues for a broader understanding of female power as the power is accessed and wielded by female characters in the writings of Willa Cather, Gabriel García Márquez, and Dorothy Allison. Engaging the strategies of feminist geographies employed, critics including Doreen Massey, Gillian Rose, and the Women and Geography Study Group, the dissertation analyzes the methods by which female characters negotiate successes or failures in accessing and wielding power."

"The purpose of this study is to examine the image of the dictator in literature of Latin America. The dictator, as he is depicted in the works of Alejo Carpentier, Augusto Roa Bastos, and Gabriel García Márquez, is a central archetypal icon who embodies the tragic history of anti-democratic rule in the Latin American republics. The dictator, however, also personifies the complexities and contradictions that come with military rule. The three authors seek to examine the dynamics of dictatorial power, but they also explore deeper psychological, aesthetic, historical, and philosophical problems surrounding the novel of the dictator."

"This study focuses on how a dictator or a culturally dominant power can use language to impose cultural values. As an instrument of power, language is used by a dictator to educate, induce, or manipulate a nation's citizens into acting in accordance with the ruling power's cultural values and beliefs. Jorge Zalamea in El Gran Burundún-Burundá ha muerto (1951), Gabriel García Márquez in El otoño del patriarca (1975), and Mario Vargas Llosa in La fiesta del Chivo (2000) draw attention to how the use of vernacular can resist cultural imposition by employing culture-specific terms in order to represent its own culture and nature of reality."

In this beautiful but savage land, children and their teachers flock to the public library and films by García Márquez attract steady crowds.
