"Pasado soterrado y masculinidad perdida en 'La muñeca reina' y 'Chac Mool'"Ĭarlos y Filiberto, protagonists of Carlos Fuentes’ short stories “La muñeca reina” and “Chac Mool” are the prototypical existential characters of Latin American literature from the 1950’s. In this sense, Benavente challenges the conventions of a literary genre where the unmasking, the sincerity, should be its main purpouse.Ĭésar Valverde, Illinois Wesleyan University, US This strategy is devised as a way of constructing identity in literature through a theatrical conception of life in which the self is rather the result of a controlled public performance offered in the text than the expected deployment of the intimacy. “Mostrar y hurtar el cuerpo” studies the role of the strategy of showing and masking identity in Recuerdos y olvidos (1937-1938), the autobiography of childhood and adolescence of the Spanish playwriter Jacinto Benavente (1866-1954). “Mostrar y hurtar el cuerpo: el relato autobiográfico de infancia y juventud en Recuerdos y olvidos de Jacinto Benavente” Ricardo Fernández, Colorado State University, US With this perspective comes the revelation that Unamuno’s first novel Paz en la guerra is a portrayal of the clash between two economic systems, the capitalist mode of production replacing the mode of production of the Ancién Regime. "A Historically-Conscious Reading of Unamuno’s Paz en la guerra: The Clash of Two Economic Systems"Ī historically conscious reading of Unamuno takes into account his precarious position between the centralizing nationalist movement of liberal Spain and the regionalist/separatist nationalist movements in out-lying regions like Catalonia and more pertinent to this study, the Basque Country.
