    Notes:
    "This dissertation takes a chronosophical approach to literary study, addressing the changing ways thinkers have chosen to articulate the nature of time, and examining in particular literary works which take on time as a theme. Chronosophy is not science; it does not belong to the arts; it is not religion. Ideas of time belong nowhere but infuse everything. In order even to say this, we must speak in time, as one word necessarily comes before another, reinforcing through language an idea of temporal linearity in which Einstein proclaimed to be an illusion, albeit our most persistent one. The achievement of a remove from which one might find understanding, and Archimedian view from nowhere, has been one of the greatest projects in the history of knowledge. This dissertation discusses literary attempts to find a view from nowhen. In tracing attempts to articulate and represent time, and how those efforts have informed shifting perceptions of time found in literary works, chapter one discusses patterns of chronosophical inquiry from ancient times to Dante, focusing in particular on those ides of time which survive today. Dante Alighieri mathematically encoded a discussion of temporal contingency and ineffability into the numeric structure of his Divine Comedy. Chapter two discusses his use of Pythagorean theories in his attempts as a finite mortal bound to temporal succession to articulate a literary representation of eternity. Chapter three discusses the impact of Einstein's Relativity theory under which simultaneity in time can no longer exist, during period of invention when paradoxically a new sense of simultaneity became prominent feature of popular culture, and time was increasingly described not as a property of the world, but a property of the perceivers of the world. This chapter traces Futurist reactions to changing ideas of temporality and the variations and manipulations of time in James Joyce's 'Ulysses'. Chapter four discusses Jorge Luis Borges' idea of temporality as an arrangement of sympathies and differences, and examines temporality in the magic realist movement as represented by Gabriel García Márquez in 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' where a temporality dependant upon individual perspective becomes lonely prospect."

    Notes:
    “There have been various interpretations of the work of García Márquez. However, no detailed study has been made of the huge significance of temporality to his art. This thesis argues that García Márquez’ novels are complex considerations of humankind’s relation to time, and that time is an inherent and constitutive property of the art and meaning of his texts. To demonstrate the validity of this proposition this thesis examines structure, strategy and thematic concern and their interrelation in relation to temporality. It is, thus, divided into five sections: a brief introductory contextualization of recent critical debate concerning the relationship between temporality and narrative; an analysis of the temporal structure of García Márquez’ most important novels and how this relates to the overall meaning of his specific consideration of the temporal narrative strategies that García Márquez adopts and why these are significant to an understanding of his work; an evaluation of temporal themes in García Márquez and their centrality to his work; and a concluding section which examines the interrelation between structure, strategy and theme to demonstrate the crucial importance of temporality to a comprehensive understanding of the fiction of García Márquez.”

    Notes:
    "A thematic analysis of three major collections of short fiction by René Marqués, as well as a comparative analysis of the fiction of selected works by Marqués and texts by four major writers, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gabriel García Márquez, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Margaret Mitchell. This study demonstrates the ways in which the literature of Puerto Rico shares a literary tradition with both the United States and Latin America. Topics include a discussion of how the three short story collections and two novels function as a whole, citing important unifying themes such as Man's isolation, power and (Foucault's definition of) resistance, and the emergence of perspectivism, as well as how selected texts by Marqués relate to themes in major works of American and Latin American literature, such as the supernatural in Hawthorne's 'Young Goodman Brown' love and war in Mitchell's 'Gone with the Wind' The Ice identity in F. Scott Fitzgerald's 'The Ice Palace' and setting and magic in García Márquez' novels, especially 'One Hundred Years of Solitude.' 'The New Puerto Rican-American Literature in Spanish, Volume 1 also questions why the literature of Puerto Rico, and in this case specifically the fiction of René Marqués, is extremely difficult to access outside the island. Only a few major research universities possess even a partial collection, making teaching, research and scholarship highly challenging. Included is a detailed account of the four-year long research process which finally yielded all materials. In conjunction with limited availability, the study offers additional reasons why there has not been an abundance of scholarship produced by and for the English-speaking academic community . One proposed explanation is that there is a pronounced fear of accepting Spanish as a major language of the United States. The study concludes that literature written in Spanish, in the continental United States and Puerto Rico, should be included in the curriculum of both English and Spanish departments as Puerto Rican-American literature."
