    (De)colonization of women's status in the contemporary Chicana novel

    No full text
    Wydział NeofilologiiRozprawa poświęcona jest twórczości literackiej przedstawicielek społeczności chicana. Specyfika tej meksykańskiej grupy etnicznej żyjącej w Stanach Zjednoczonych opiera się na jej odmienności kulturowej, ukształtowanej w wyniku wzajemnego oddziaływania własnej kultury etnicznej oraz dominującej kultury anglosaskiej. Za nadrzędny cel badań autorka przyjmuje analizę współczesnej powieści chicana pod względem ukazanej w niej sytuacji podporządkowania kolorowych kobiet oraz określenie sposobu, w jaki literatura ta wpisuje się w kształtującą się w XXI wieku latynoamerykańską myśl dekolonialną. Przedmiot badań stanowi proza autorstwa czołowych współczesnych pisarek chicanas: Sandry Cisneros, Any Castillo, Almy Luz Villanuevę, Heleny Maríę Viramontes, Margarity Cotę-Cárdenas oraz Erlindy Gonzales-Berry. Zastosowanie perspektywy badawczej opierającej się na kluczowych kategoriach podporządkowania, jakimi są kolonialność władzy, kolonialność wiedzy, kolonialność bycia oraz kolonialność płci, pozwala ukazać, w jaki sposób doświadczenie bohaterek chicanas portretowane na kartach powieści wpisuje się w szerszy system kolonialnej opresji oraz ujawnić subwersywny charakter literatury chicana, która poza odzwierciedleniem kolonialnych napięć eksponuje również praktyki, służące bohaterkom do zakwestionowania istniejącego porządku kulturowo-społecznego oraz uzyskania pewnej autonomii.This dissertation is devoted to the literary work of women who represent the Chicano community. This Mexican ethnic group living in the United States is characterized by its cultural disparity, formed by the interaction between its own ethnic culture and the dominant Anglo-Saxon culture. The main goal of this study is to analyze contemporary Chicana novel in terms of the specific situation of subordination of women of color that is depicted in it and to determine how that literature fits in with the Latin American decolonial critisism emerging in the 21st century. The study material includes novels written by leading contemporary women writers of Chicano literature: Sandra Cisneros, Ana Castillo, Alma Luz Villanueva, Helena María Viramontes, Margarita Cota-Cárdenas and Erlinda Gonzales-Berry.The research perspective based on key categories of subordination, that are coloniality of power, coloniality of knowledge, coloniality of being and coloniality of gender, allows us to analyze selected literary texts in terms of putting the experiences of the women representatives of the Chicano community in a wider system of oppression and to display the subversive character of Chicana literature, which – besides reflecting colonial tensions – exposes certain practices by which the protagonists are able to challenge the existing sociocultural order and gain some autonomy

    Parkovne ureditve se od časa nastanka, izvedbe in sajenja rastlin stalno spreminjajo. V nalogi smo raziskovali spremembe v razvoju parkovnega prostora v parku Arboretum Volčji Potok. Zgodovinsko smo posege v parkovni prostor delili na tri obdobja: obdobje okrog leta 1900, obdobje okrog leta 1960 ter obdobje v sodobnem času, od leta 2000 do danes. Spremembe v parku smo analizirali v petih izbranih in izrazito prepoznavnih območjih, zasnovi katerih lahko sledimo od časa Souvanov do danes: parterni park, pristava, Veliko jezero, Jezero rdečega javorja in ruševine gradu na Volčjem vrhu. Med izbranimi prepoznavnimi območji smo ugotavljali razlike v zasnovi in zasaditvah, spremljali smo odnos različnih skupin anketirancev do prostora in izpostavili najbolj prepoznavne spremembe v kompoziciji in zaznavi prostora. Za vsako območje smo izdelali analizo razvoja od časa Souvanov do danes in na podlagi analiz in primerjav občutenj anketirancev v vsakem izmed izbranih območij opredelili parametre, ki vplivajo na zaznavo. Sklenemo lahko, da na doživljanje prostora parka Arboretum Volčji potok vplivajo zlasti morfologija rastlinskega gradiva in ureditev območja v prepoznavnem slogu. Rastline se na izbranih območjih pojavijo v zelo raznolikih volumnih, gostoti in raznovrstnosti, kar je povezano z večanjem/rastjo rastlin. Anketiranci so izbrana območja opisali kot odprta/zaprta, svetla/temna, prijetna/neprijetna, naravna/ustvarjena in podobno. Kljub temu da vsak posameznik prostor dojema in se nanj odzove drugače, smo ugotovili podobnosti v zaznavi. Tovrstni podatki so zanimivi za razumevanje procesa spremembe parkovnega prostora od sajenja do zrelega obdobja vegetacije, saj uporabniki prostora določene ambiente ocenijo kot bolj zanimive in prijetne šele po določenem času.Park design changes continuously from the time of its creation, through implementation, to the planting of vegetation. In this thesis, we studied the changes in Arboretum Volčji Potok park. Historically, we divided the interventions in the park into three periods: around the year 1900, around the year 1960, and in modern times, from 2000 to the present day. We analyzed the changes in the park across five selected and distinctly recognizable areas, whose designs can be traced from the time of the Souvan family to today: Parterre Park, the Outbuilding, the Great Lake, the Red Maple Lake, and the Castle ruins. Among the selected areas, we identified differences in design and plantings, monitored the relationship of different groups of respondents to the space, and highlighted the most recognizable changes in the composition and perception of the space. For each area, we conducted an analysis of the development from the time of the Souvan family to today and, based on analyses and comparisons of respondents\u27 perceptions in each of the selected areas, defined the parameters that influence perception. It can be concluded that the experience of the space in Arboretum Volčji Potok is particularly influenced by the morphology of the plant material and the setting of the area in a recognizable style. Plants in the selected areas appear in very diverse volumes, densities, and varieties, which are associated with plant growth. Respondents described the selected areas as open/closed, light/dark, pleasant/unpleasant, natural/man-made, and so on. Despite each individual perceiving and responding to the space differently, we found similarities in perception. Such data are interesting for understanding the process of change in park space from planting to the mature period of vegetation, as users of the space rate particular areas as more interesting and pleasant only after a certain period

    “Lo invisible cotidiano”. El trabajo doméstico y su representación en la novela gráfica española

    No full text
    In recent years, there has been a growing interest in graphic narratives that explore family histories, particularly focusing on women and their roles in daily life. Works such as El ala rota by Antonio Altarriba y Kim (2016), Estamos todas bien by Ana Penyas (2017) and Regreso al Edén by Paco Roca (2020) delve into the lives of mothers and grandmothers, aiming to reclaim their memories and acknowledge the significance of domestic and care labor, often overlooked in Spanish history. The graphic novels offer a dual representation, combining text and images to depict the struggles women faced in different historical periods and the inequalities embedded in domestic work. We aim to critically examine this societal change through literature, which blends history, sociology, and personal experience

    El exilio interior: vida y literatura de Carmen Laforet

    No full text
     The Inner Exile. Life and Literature of Carmen LaforetCarmen Laforet lives in the history of Spanish literature as the author of an extraordinary novel recognised with the Nadal Award Nada, 1944 who subsequently lapsed into a mysterious silence. Despite having published several works, including some noteworthy novels La isla de los demonios, 1952; La mujer nueva, 1955, La insolación, 1963, Laforet gradually abandoned the literary scene and her own writing, secluding herself into her inner world, a kind of self-exile driven by the need for privacy and independence, as well as her maladjustment and lack of rooting. The article seeks to delve into the imperatives and inhibitions which instigated that silence, identifiable both in her literary work and in the confessions to her relatives and letters she exchanged, among others, with the exiled Ramón J. Sender, with whom she maintained correspondence and a friendly relationship for many years Puedo contar contigo. Correspondencia, 2003. The Inner Exile.
