- Notes:
- "The purpose of this study is to examine the image of the dictator in the 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 3 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."

- Notes:
- "This thesis examines honour as a central theme in narrative passages of 'El alcalde de Zalamea' a seventeenth-century play by Spain's Pedro Calderon de la Barca, and in 'Cronica de una muerte anunciada' (1981), a short novel by Colombian Gabriel García Márquez. By means of a comparative study, and using narratology as the primary theoretical and methodological frame, this theme is explored through the analysis of both works at three different 'levels'; that of the characters, the narrators, and the implied authors with the intention of revealing the distinct contrast between the ideology expressed at all levels and, ultimately, at the level of the respective implied authors as the embodiment of the works' ideologies, in regards to honour as a socially-regulated code of conduct. An important portion of this analysis is dedicated to discussing the relationship between the fictional components of these works and their symbolic meaning in the external or 'real'/non-fictional world in connection with said ideology."

- "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 that power associated and wielded by female characters in the writings of Willa Carter, Gabriel García Márquez, and Dorothy Allison. Engaging the strategies of feminist geographies employed by critics including Doreen Massey, Gillian Rose, and the Women and Geography Study Group, the dissertation analyzes the methods by which female characters negotiate the places/spaces where they live, work, and travel, evaluating their relative successes or failures in accessing and wielding power. The three analytic chapters examine works by Cather - the novel 'The Song of the Lark', and the short story 'A Gold Slipper' García Márquez - the novel 'The Autumn of the Patriarch, and the short story 'The Trail of Your Blood in the Snow' form the collection of stories titled 'Strange Pilgrims,' and Allison - the novel 'Bastard out of Carolina,' and the short story 'I'm Working on My Charm' from the collection titled 'Trash' respectively. In order to magnify the power of the female characters in relation to the definition of power specifically determined by the character's culture, whether the culture of persistence or the culture of wealth. At the same time, the spaces/places/locations where the characters live, work, and move through are analyzed to produce an understanding of how the characters access and wield power. Finally, a stark contrast is established between the female characters created by Cather and Allison and those created by García Márquez, since Cather and Allison fully imagine female characters who are successful at accessing and wielding power in the spaces/places they live in, work in, and move through. In contrast García Márquez creates powerful women whose power functions only fully in microgeographies, and García Márquez ultimately destroys those characters, despite their access to power."

- "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 three novels, and how violence shapes the meanings of these categories. The first chapter focuses on 'Chambácu, 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 a social realist narrative style to articulate the identity and history of Afro-Colombians. The second chapter examines Alvaro Ceped 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. I argue that this process consists in eliminating the discrepancy between these two aspects to attain an abstract state of modernity."
