Facing what Greg Thomas (2003) calls the \u201csexual demon of colonial power,\u201d Black women have lived through countless shared traumas resulting from colonization and transatlantic slavery in Sub-Saharan African, the Caribbean, and the Americas. By creating without fear and making something from nothing, we can finally learn about and hear the hidden voices of those women who suffered physical, mental, and emotional abuse beyond measure at the hands of colonists. In this thesis, I investigate how the Caribbean authors Fabienne Kanor and Maryse Cond\u00e9 use a range of imaginative methods to represent how enslaved women experienced, resisted, and overcame sexual violence through a close reading of their novels Humus (2006) and Moi, Tituba, sorci\u00e8re\u2026 Noire de Salem (1986). Turning away from major masculinist historical narratives, Cond\u00e9 and Kanor reinforce the values of Black feminism(s) to continuously challenge, reclaim, and reconstruct the patriarchal representation of the \u201cweaker sex\u201d in literature.<\/p>\n Despite being published almost two decades apart, both novels engage in a conversation about how to reimagine the experiences of enslaved women and help us see them as racialized and gendered subjects instead of merely enslaved bodies. In Humus, Fabienne Kanor invites her readers to be bearers of a nuanced collective memory about slavery as witnesses to her heroines\u2019 epic: a collective suicide aboard a French slave ship at the end of the eighteenth century. Kanor tells the story of fourteen enslaved women from different walks of life, as well as the abuse and suffering they endured while crossing the Atlantic Ocean en route to France\u2019s colonies in the Caribbean. She attempts a work of memory that is more intimately acquainted with the humanity of the enslaved women, which is a crucial element of their stories and which combats the pre-written narrative that reduced them only to passive victims of their tragedy. The novel exposes the collective and individual traumas of these women, allowing each to share her experience and discuss her pain. Their diverse lives connect and entwine during the brutal shift from freedom to captivity, and they create a chorus of resistance through their diverse cultures, conditions, and perspectives. Tituba and the other female characters in Moi, Tituba, Sorci\u00e8re\u2026Noire de Salem\u2014the titular Tituba, her mother, and Hester\u2014experience constant gendered and racialized violence. Each time a woman attempts to defend her human rights, she is subjected to the worst forms of punishment. In Tituba, Maryse Cond\u00e9 brings together a number of potent themes, including sexuality, vengeance, victim guilt, racism, gender.<\/p>\n This thesis explores the numerous complexities between the female narrators\u2019 internal problems, issues of intimacy, female solidarity, and the concept of Black feminism. The women in both of these texts cry out against this silence, putting their bodies and voices at the center of processing trauma and freeing themselves from the colonial economy of bodies forced upon them. They convey discourses of resistance by rejecting motherhood while in enslavement and by forming <\/a>complicated intimate sexual ties as strategies of survival and means of creating their own forms of freedom in the Atlantic world. Black feminism draws attention to and actively addresses the numerous facets of racial injustices as well as gender inequalities. This thesis foregrounds enslaved women as historical actors, showing how imaginative modes center female voices and allow Black women to tell their own stories, all while knowing that we cannot ever fully represent enslaved subjects.<\/p>\n Allison Rau<\/strong><\/p>\n Advisor: Sara Kippur \u00a0<\/strong>Antoine de St. Exup\u00e9ry\u2019s 1943 book Le Petit Prince<\/em> (The Little Prince), has been captivating audiences for 80 years now. Along with a string of spin-offs in the forms of film, stage productions, and merchandise, the original story remains a top seller and frequently taught in classrooms around the world. But why have the themes of this book persisted while many other stories fall away into history? This project will trace how the lessons and themes of The Little Prince<\/em> have remained relevant to this day, by examining how even as decades came and went, audiences and critics found new ways for the story to inform their lives. It will track the reception of the book by synthesizing newspaper articles, critical reviews, and scholarly analyses of the book. While the more classic themes from the book, like the importance of innocence and fantasy, still ring true to modern readers, more specific nuances can link The Little Prince<\/em> to our lives. The Little Prince<\/em> can be <\/a>political, literary, or even environmental should those themes identify with readers during a certain time in history. This project demonstrates that as our world has changed and grown in the last 80 years, the way that we interpret this story has as well. It has remained popular and relevant throughout all this time because of its chameleon-like ability to be interpreted in such a variety of ways.<\/p>\n Nicholas Zacharewski\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Advisor: Johannes Evelein It is a long-held misunderstanding that evil has exceptional origins. Time and history have proven that evil is banal. An environment of economic crisis, extreme patriotism, and social rejection have all played an essential role in creating some of the greatest atrocities known in human history. The National Socialist (Nazi) party, which controlled the German state from 1933-1945, epitomizes evil. Infamous for its crimes against humanity, however, relatively unknown otherwise, are the origins and etiology of Nazi influence. This essay will investigate, reveal, and discuss the scientific bases of the Nazi reign and continue with the research, experiments, and ultimate discoveries of the national socialists.<\/p>\n Furthermore, this essay will discuss the unethical use, adoption, and exploitation of these scientific factors from seemingly “ethical” or “just” powers to their benefit. The Nazi party was not alone in its radical conquest for scientific progress. It is in the author’s interest to discuss not only the national socialist approach to scientific research and discovery but also groups who, on a surface level, appear more “fair” in their ways. This investigation will highlight consequences apparent nearly a century later and allow for meaningful discussions about the complications of scientific research and its implications in the history and future directions of the scientific community.<\/a><\/p>\n Karen Garc\u00eda<\/strong><\/p>\n Advisor: Priscilla Mel\u00e9ndez Augusto Pinochet\u2019s long and devasting dictatorship from 1973 until 1989 was one of the most brutal regimes in history, and it continues to have a lasting impact on Chileans. The use of physical and psychological torture as a means of oppression has created a legacy that many are still struggling to overcome. Additionally, it is crucial to acknowledge the complicity of the United States in supporting Pinochet’s rise to power in pursuit of its political and economic agenda: in the first case, against any sign of a socialist or communist posture (the Cold War), and in the second case to bring about conservative economic strategies. The chronicle\u00a017TChile, el golpe, y los gringos<\/em>17T<\/em>\u00a0(1974) by the world-renowned writer Gabriel Garc\u00eda Marquez narrates the lurid details of what took place in the political sphere before the activation of the dictatorship, showcasing his journalistic skills. Although this chronicle is based on historical events, its intentional use of imaginative storytelling prompts the reader to seek an essential truth that transcends the mere veracity of verifiable data while also using novelistic narrative resources, such as the popularized procedures of classic detective novels. By combining his journalism background with these novelistic narrative resources, he was able to uncover the corruption that occurred at the start of the dictatorship. 17TLa secreta vida literaria de Augusto Pinochet\u00a0<\/em>17T<\/em>(2013)17T,\u00a0<\/em>17T<\/em>written by the chronicler, screenwriter, and Chilean journalist, Juan Cristobal Pe\u00f1a, examines the lesser-known facet of former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet, his relationship with literature and his literary output. Pe\u00f1a analyzes Pinochet’s literary oeuvre, including his poetry and prose, and explores how his writing reveals aspects of his personality and political ideology. Pe\u00f1a draws on his background in journalism and incorporates novelistic elements to create a powerful chronicle that<\/a> reveals Augusto Pinochet’s worldview and political beliefs, providing valuable context to the dictatorship. In this analysis, I will examine the different approaches to the same dictatorship by Juan Crist\u00f3bal Pe\u00f1a and Gabriel Garc\u00eda M\u00e1rquez, despite their works being written forty years apart. Both writers have utilized the genre of chronicle to explore and expose political issues in Chile, particularly its enduring political and social implications. By examining these two works, we can gain insights into how they use the chronicle to uncover the underlying political themes that continue to resonate to this day.<\/p>\n Abigail Lambert\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Advisor: Priscilla Mel\u00e9ndez Over the past 50 years, feminist writers have stressed the importance of the study of motherhood to understand the socio-political pressures that women face. Furthermore, motherhood is categorized as an example of identity politics, as a result of how maternalism has been used to further women\u2019s rights in society. However, it is also necessary to understand the subjective experience of mothers. My research project investigates two contemporary Latin American chroniclers whose texts focus on the theme of women, specifically in circumstances related to motherhood. This thesis examines the collection of chronicles by Puerto Rican journalist Ana Teresa Toro that appear in the second part of the book Parir es Partirse (2020). These chronicles describe the author\u2019s personal experience of the pregnancy of her child during the pandemic. She details the physical and emotional changes that occur during the different stages of maternity, as well as the <\/a>loss of her sense of self when becoming a mother. Additionally, I will analyze the chronicle \u201cEl Barrio de las mujeres solas\u201d (2010) by Josefina Licitra, an Argentinian journalist who recounts her experience visiting the San Juan neighborhood in Antofagasta, Argentina. This neighborhood includes a living community of single mothers who have learned how to live independently from men because of the abandonment by the fathers of their children. All of these chronicles describe the social expectations of women in motherhood. This thesis will analyze the ways motherhood affects the identity of women, and it will examine the role of maternalism in contemporary Latin American society.<\/p>\n Erin Miceli\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Advisor: Priscilla Mel\u00e9ndez Around the world, sex trafficking is a very prominent aspect of different countries and their cultures. One country in particular, Mexico, has an entire subsection of their economy that relies on this illegal industry. This essay works with several chronicles written by Mexican author, Laura Castellanos, to develop a deeper understanding of the business of sex trafficking and how the political history of Mexico has encouraged and maintained a social and political environment in which<\/a> this type of trade could thrive. Castellanos\u2019 pieces, \u201cC\u00f3digo rojo\u201d, Mexico armada (1943-1981) (2007) and Cr\u00f3nica de un pa\u00eds embozado (1994-2018) (2018) give firsthand accounts and historical timelines of life in Mexico following years of political instability during the twentieth century which is reflected in her work, all written within the last twenty years. Castellanos explains how this lack of security has created a dangerous cycle of sex trafficking all over the country. Together, these pieces speak up against the powers that continue to allow the world of sex trafficking to continue within the Mexican borders.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Taive Muenzberg\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Advisor: Priscilla Mel\u00e9ndez Colombian author Gabriel Garc\u00eda M\u00e1rquez (1927-2014) would go on to produce an impressive corpus of notable works that includes novels, short stories, and journalistic writings. Although he gained much of his notoriety for his novels and short stories, Garc\u00eda M\u00e1rquez was an experienced journalist who established in 1994 the Fundaci\u00f3n para un Nuevo Periodismo Iberoamericano<\/em> which praised the rigor and quality of works which journalists produced and provided a platform to create a network of writers for ideological exchange. This respect for and involvement with journalism applied directly to Garc\u00eda M\u00e1rquez\u2019s work with the chronicle, a genre which merged the literary techniques of the novel with the informational and time-oriented agenda of journalism which is considered an innovational force with contemporary Latin American writing. Gabriel Garc\u00eda M\u00e1rquez\u2019s Doce cuentos peregrinos<\/em>, published in 1992 yet written over the course of two decades prior, compiles twelve snapshots of the lives of a variety of Latin American individuals, generally of middle or upper classes, during their travels to Europe. The title of this collection is translated for publication as Strange Pilgrims<\/em>, yet it literally translates to \u201cTwelve Pilgrim Stories\u201d. Using definitions of the Latin American chronicle provided by authors such as Ignacio Corona, An\u00edbal Gonz\u00e1lez, and Viviane Maheiux, and twentieth century perspectives on art written by Walter Benjamin in his piece The Work of Art in in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction<\/em>, this project will work to showcase that these twelve \u201cstories\u201d are indeed powerful examples of the chronicle. Concentrating on three of them \u2013 \u201cBuen<\/a> viaje, Se\u00f1or Presidente\u201d, \u201cLa Santa\u201d<\/em>, and \u201cEl rastro de tu sangre en la nieve\u201d\u2014 is evident that Garc\u00eda M\u00e1rquez produced a collection of chronicles which serve as political critiques of the suppressive Colombian government connected by a series of dates and periodical installments to display the evolution of characters from 1976 to 1981. By creating periodical installments which report upon the lives of these individuals external to Colombia, by coinciding the voice of the author with the voice of a separate narrating character within the work, and the blending of fantasy with reality within Doce cuentos peregrinos<\/em> allows for it to fluctuate between the two genres: the short story and the chronicle.<\/p>\n Jasmine Parras<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>Advisor: Priscilla Mel\u00e9ndez The period of the National Reorganization Process between 1976 to 1983 marks a dark era in Argentina\u2019s history in the last quarter of the twentieth century through its horrible and terrifying actions against anyone who opposed the military dictatorship. Many innocent people were murdered, tortured, and disappeared for having an opposing political view from that of the government or for knowing someone who opposed it. The Escuela de Mec\u00e1nica de la Armada (ESMA), a clandestine detention center that operated from 1976 to 1983 imprisoned people who belonged to militant organizations or to anyone who advocated against the government. In 2004, the ESMA was renamed to EXESMA to repurpose the space to preserve the memory of those who died in the civil military dictatorship. The written works analyzed in this essay focus on a collection of testimonies and poetic texts that are part of the 2022 exhibit \u201cSer mujeres en la ESMA II, tiempo de encuentros.\u201d This exhibit is \u00bfa? joint research project to characterize the machismo and patriarchal traits that women had to face while being persecuted and violated by the military dictatorship in power. These texts were collected by the EXESMA museum to promote the women perspective of the events that took place in the ESMA during the military dictatorship with the purpose of representing how women were affected differently compared to the men in the clandestine detention centers. I will examine three texts from this exhibit.\u00a0 \u201cCuerpos\u201d by the American Professor Barbara Sutton, who studies women\u2019s gender and sexuality in Latin America and the ways in which she advocates for women who have been sexualized in the ESMA. Her writing is based on interviews conducted in 2010-2015 with eleven women who were detained and tortured during the dictatorship. She characterizes their experiences through the over sexualization of the body. <\/a>\u201cLas Formas diversificadas de apropiaci\u00f3n de los cuerpos\u201d by Pilar Calveiro, who is a political scientist and a survivor held in the ESMA, narrates her experience when she was kidnapped in 1977. Lastly, I will examine \u201cHablar para reordenar el mundo\u201d by Laura Sobredo, an Argentine professor who studies human rights and advocates for women\u2019s rights. She bases her writing on conducted interviews of survivors of the Argentine dictatorship to present the importance of preserving and understanding memory. These writings help represent the unimageable horror and torture women endured in the ESMA through either their own experience or by conducting interviews that portray women\u2019s perspective. Tiana Sharpe<\/strong><\/p>\n Advisor: Priscilla Mel\u00e9ndez \u00a0<\/strong>This thesis aims to explore Black reality within a Cuban context and validate Black testimonials as valuable knowledge sources within academia. Historically Black and Brown voices have been ignored or simplified to support the delusions of the colonial lens. Rather, this study centers on two texts from distinct Cuban authors from very different Black realities but share a similar understanding of Blackness. UBiography of a Runaway Slave<\/u>U by Cuban anthropologist Miguel Barnet in 1966 reconstructs a cr\u00f3ncia<\/em> from the oral testimony of a Cuban runaway slave, Esteban Montejo. Montejo, born in 1860, is a powerful witness to Cuban history in the first half of the 20Pth<\/sup>P century and articulates his understanding of Blackness, racism, and power developed through lived experience. The second text, UBlack Cuban Woman Black I Had to Be<\/u>U, originally took the form of online blog posts by Sandra Abd\u2019 Allah-\u00c1lvarez Ram\u00edrez. In 2019, after 13 years of exploring Black womanhood, motherhood, and Cuban politics Abd\u2019 Allah-\u00c1lvarez Ram\u00edrez compiled her testimonials into a book. Although the narrators of these stories come from different eras and identities, their work is in conversation with <\/a>other Afro-literature works throughout the global Black diaspora. Their work breaks the conventions of Western literature to reflect the complexity of Blackness truthfully. These texts balance the collectivist story of Black consciousness and their individual investigation of self amidst systems of oppression. I find that it is vital to study Black storytelling to uncover a missing portion of history, the profound complexity of Blackness, and the white supremacist constructions that awaken Black consciousness as a form of resistance.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Gabriel R. Sorondo Guirola<\/strong><\/p>\n Advisor: Priscilla Mel\u00e9ndez As India\u2019s global perception fades away from the mythical and the subaltern, its presence as one of the largest cultures and countries in the oriental world make it a point of continuous cultural interest and curiosity. India, having a myriad of languages, cultures, subcultures, groups and castes reflect intricacies larger than some regions of the world. Through the examination of Dios m\u00edo: un viaje por la India en busca de Sai Baba <\/em>(1994). I seek to understand the ways in which an Argentine author, Mart\u00edn Caparr\u00f3s (1957), portrays the cultures and population of the country whilst reverberating orientalist ideas such as portrayals of poverty, the ignorance of the general Indian public and a fanatism linked to religious beliefs. The ideas reverberated by Caparr\u00f3s represent, overall, the perception of the Western world upon a misunderstood and totalized culture such as the Indian one. This senior thesis serves, then, as the exploration of the ways in which the <\/a>construction of the orientalist imaginary occurs in the Latin American chronicle and how the Global South presents each other in their cultural productions. Ideas of orientalism will be explored in relation to language, images and descriptions given of the places which are explored as Caparr\u00f3s trails behind Sai Baba\u2019s religious figure and following. Alongside, anecdotal accounts from the author will serve to contrast Caparr\u00f3s\u2019 viewpoints with what was observed in his two years of living in the country and create a conversation between imaginaries and experiences in India.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Lucy Wilson\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Advisor: Priscilla Mel\u00e9ndez Narco trafficking and drug wars plague many realms of the world today. One of the main roots of trafficking and highly talked about narco traffickers and cartels in the Americas is Colombia and the Medell\u00edn cartel belonging to key figure, Pablo Escobar. News outlets and political conversations heavily highlight and report on the effect of drug trafficking and the rates of overdose within US-borders. Nevertheless, this essay will center on the major effects of these activities within Colombia\u2019s borders as reflected in a chronicle written and published by Juan Jos\u00e9 Hoyos (1953) a Colombian journalist from Medell\u00edn. His chronicle relays and converses from the first person perspective on the violent and repressive reality that the journalists and citizens of Colombia faced in the late 20th<\/sup> century. The chronicle, \u201cUn fin de semana con Pablo Escobar\u201d (2003), is an interview conducted by Hoyos with cartel lord Pablo Escobar and illustrates how the vast effects of narco trafficking have to this day shaped a way of life in Colombia. Outside sources including a highly regarded novel by Hoyos, El cielo que perdimos <\/em>(1990) that highlights the experience of being a journalist in Medell\u00edn through a fictional lens as well as academic journals on Colombia\u2019s government and peace keeping efforts, historical pieces on drug trafficking, and interviews of Hoyos by editorials and newspapers provide context to analyzing the chronicle and understanding its role in the 21st<\/sup> century. Conjoining the analysis of \u201cUn fin de semana con Pablo Escobar\u201d with the contextual sources paves the way to understanding the daily crisis, lasting effect of drug trafficking, and an overall struggle with the feeling of loss in Colombia today.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Citlalli Zavala<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>Advisor: Priscilla Mel\u00e9ndez \u00a0<\/strong>In 2006, Felipe Calder\u00f3n became Mexico\u2019s 63Prd<\/sup> president, and within 11 days of his presidency, he declared a \u201cWar on Drugs\u201d to combat drug-related violence that has been pervasive for more than 17 years. His plan was to send out thousands of military troops to the states most affected by narcotrafficking and violence. However, the number of homicides, kidnappings, and extorsions surged dramatically during his 6-year term and his alleged \u201cwar.\u201d Three years later in 2009, the Spanish journalist Judith Torrea, moved to Ciudad Juarez to document the experiences of those who daily suffered the most as a consequence of their city\u2019s militarization: the innocent civilians. Homicides had tripled from a total of 10,452 in 2006 to 27,213 in 2011. Torrea found that a lot of the violence was perpetuated by the military, and she transformed those findings into her cr\u00f3nica Ju\u00e1rez en la sombra: cr\u00f3nicas de una ciudad que se resiste a morir<\/em> (2011) and wrote<\/a> it using a first person, journalistic approach. Daniela Rea, a Mexican journalist, did something similar: she moved to Mexico and interviewed civilians on their experiences with the military and the surge in violence during Calder\u00f3n\u2019s \u201cwar on drugs.\u201d Nadie les pidi\u00f3 perd\u00f3n: historias de impunidad y resistencia <\/em>(2015) recounts these horrific stories using a third person narration. In my thesis, I analyze the way in which both of these cr\u00f3nicas relay their information about the quotidian life and the consequences of narcotrafficking in their midst, meanwhile this project attempts to examine where to place the responsibility for the suffering of innocent people in Mexico.<\/a><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong>A Terrifying Love: <\/strong>The Gothic in Mariana Enr\u00edquez\u2019 Travel Chronicles <\/strong>Through the American South<\/strong><\/p>\n Aiden Chisholm\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Advisor: Priscilla Mel\u00e9ndez In 2012 the Argentine writer Mariana Enr\u00edquez, who has frequently been called \u201cThe Princess of Horror,\u201d traveled through the South of the United States, recording her journey in two cr\u00f3nicas later published in 2015: \u201cUn viaje espeluznante al sur del r\u00edo Ohio\u201d (\u201cA Horrifying Trip to the South of the Ohio River\u201d) and \u201cBlues, pobreza, y vud\u00fa y la tierra de Elvis\u201d (\u201cBlues, Poverty, and Voodoo and the Land of Elvis\u201d). Coming from a tradition of the Latin American Gothic and a self-proclaimed lover of the Southern Gothic, Enr\u00edquez implements these two styles of terror and the uncanny into the already hybrid genre of the cr\u00f3nica, which in the Latin American context has been succinctly defined as narrative journalism. Through this monstruous amalgamation, Enr\u00edquez brings her audience\u2019s attention to the many and continued social-political failures of the American South and their similarities to Argentina\u2019s. Despite her criticisms, Enr\u00edquez also uses theFrench<\/u><\/strong><\/h3>\n
