    No full text
    This paper examines literary images of women in Galdos' Fortunata y Jacinta in an effort to cast new light on sociological perspectives of women in nineteenth-century Spanish society. The study is composed of three chapters. The first chapter gives a brief introduction to the author and his works and presents a synopsis of nineteenth-century Spanish history. It also gives a summary of Fortunata y Jacinta and relates Galdo's portrayal of feminine life to the actual life of Spanish women during the nineteenth century. The second and third chapters make up the major part of the study. Chapter two contrasts the female characters in the novel and cites examples which help to show their role in nineteenth-century Spanish society. Chapter three, an examination of the individual, class, and society in Fortunata y Jacinta, shows how nineteenth-century Spanish life had an effect on the female characters. The conclusion is that the characterization of women in Fortunata Jacinta, when compared with the actual position of women in nineteenth-century Spain, reveals that much of that era's feminine life is reflected in the novel

    Jacinta\u27s Vista Al Cuarto Estado : The Galley Version

    No full text
    The galley stag in the production of Galdós\u27s novels provided the author with an opportunity for final revision before his texts went to press. Despite Berkowitz\u27s claims to the contrary, Galdós did make numerous changes in his works prior to their publication. Indeed, no page of Fortunata y Jacinta\u27s galleys is left untouched. Yet, surprisingly little critical attention has been afforded this important stage in the production of Galdós\u27s masterpiece. In 1978 James Whiston pioneered the way for further study in this area by publishing a brief article discussing how minor substitutions and additions to the galleys rendered the language of the text more natural or expressive and created a more positive impression of Fortunata\u27s character. Some eight years later Francisco Caudet acknowledged the importance of the galleys by supplementing the text of his 1985 edition of the novel with footnotes, quoting some of the material that was either discarded or changed at the galley stage. More recently, in her 1992 book analyzing the development of Fortunata y Jacinta from the Alpha manuscript through its published version, Mercedes López-Baralt dedicated a chapter to showing how various galley revisions affected the characterization process. Finally, my own 1993 article examined the relationship between Moreno-Isla and Jacinta in light of material that was deleted from the galleys

    The So-Called Problem of Closure in \u3ci\u3eFortunata y Jacinta\u3c/i\u3e and \u3ci\u3eTristana\u3c/i\u3e Revisited By Means of Musical Structure

    Critics continue to be puzzled by the closure of both Fortunata y Jacinta and Tristana. For example, in 1986 Hazel Gold published “Problems of Closure in Fortunata y Jacinta: Of Narrators, Readers, and Their Just Deserts/Desserts.” Then she returned to the subject seven years later, still of the opinion that “the question of closure must have seemed an especially thorny one for the author of Fortunata y Jacinta” (Reframing 51). In 1991, José Manuel del Pino brought forth “El Fracaso de los sistemas de cierre de Fortunata y Jacinta.” Similarly with Tristana, from “Clarín” and Pardo Bazán to the present day, critics have been likewise engaged.1 For example, Berkowitz says that Galdós’s Tristana is “the unfinished opus of his repertory” (314), and Roberto Sánchez opines that “the novel is somehow truncated, unrealized” (125). More recently, Andrés Zamora has summarized such opinions as these when he says, “[L]a novela ha sido traditional y sistemáticamente considerada por un amplio sector de la crítica como defectuosa, coja o manca” (193). Thus one is justified in asking why Galdós concluded Tristana the way he did; and, importantly, what—if anything—does this allow one to extrapolate from the ending of the novel concerning the author’s view of women’s aspirations in late nineteenth-century Spain? In addition, what are we to make of the ending of Fortunata y Jacinta? Why should such a great novel not devote its final paragraphs to one or the other of the title protagonists, rather than focusing upon the unfortunate fate of poor Maxi Rubín

    ¿Resulta constitucional la limitación al derecho a la libertad de expresión? : análisis del caso La Paisana Jacinta

    No full text
    En este trabajo, la autora hace un análisis del caso la Paisana Jacinta, analizando los argumentos de las partes y el razonamiento seguido por la Sala Civil de la Corte Superior de Justicia de Cuzco. En tal sentido, se estudian los aspectos procesales y sustantivos teóricos que involucran a este caso, entre ellos si este proceso cumple con los requisitos pertinentes establecidos en el artículo 5° del Código Procesal Constitucional, así como los derechos que se encuentran comprometidos y los límites que estos presentarían en el caso en concreto, a propósito de la categoría del discurso de odio. De esta manera, se desarrolla, de forma teórica y aplicada al caso en concreto, los derechos y principios invocados, como el derecho al honor y buena reputación, no discriminación, dignidad y libertad de expresión. Asimismo, se brinda una crítica al razonamiento del órgano judicial que resolvió esta causa, teniendo en cuenta la distinción entre normas regla y normas principios para analizar la eventual afectación al mandato de no discriminación, así como presentar ciertos reparos en torno al análisis de proporcionalidad empleado por la Sala para resolver este caso.In this work, the author analyses the case of the “Paisana Jacinta”, with focus in the arguments of the parties and the reasoning followed by the Civil Chamber of the Superior Court of Justice of Cuzco. In this sense, the procedural and substantive aspects that are involved this case are assessed, including if this constitutional process satisfies the relevant requirements contained in the article 5° of the Procedural Constitutional Code, as well as the rights that are compromised and the limits that these would present in the specific case. In this way, the invoked rights and principles are developed, theoretically and applied to the specific case, such as the right to honor and good reputation, non-discrimination, dignity and freedom of expression. Likewise, a critical view is offered concerning the reasoning of the judicial body that resolved this case, taking into account the distinction between norms, which could be classified as rules and principles in order to analyze the possible impact on the nondiscrimination rule. Furthermore, it is presented certain objections regarding the proportionality test used by the Chamber to resolve this case
