▼ La enseñanza comunicativa del lenguaje es un método común en clases de lenguas extranjeras. A primera vista, este método ha privilegiado el desarrollo de destrezas orales y auditivas, en detrimento del desarrollo de la comprensión lectora de textos literarios como parte de su currÃculo. La investigación a considerar es si la literatura todavÃa tiene un papel importante en una clase que utiliza la enseñanza comunicativa del lenguaje. En mi tesina de maestrÃa propongo el estudio el uso de textos literarios en las clases de lenguas extranjeras de niveles avanzados. Me planteo el análisis de dos libros de texto de distritos escolares locales para entender cómo y cuándo se usa la literatura en las clases de español ELE (español como lengua extranjera). Si bien los textos escogidos se ocupan de la enseñanza de la lengua española, los resultados pueden aplicarse a otros idiomas también. El estudio preliminar arroja que la mayorÃa de los textos estudiados utilizan la literatura como manera de incorporar la enseñanza de aspectos culturales en el currÃculo. Además, la literatura ha probado ser útil en la enseñanza de vocabulario y gramática. La lectura de novelas o literatura extensiva no es común en clases de estos niveles. En sÃntesis, la literatura tiene un papel menor en la enseñanza de español en la educación secundaria, aunque hay ventajas en una clase comunicativa. El comité de mi tesina estará integrado por los siguientes profesores del departamento de lenguas y literaturas romances de la Universidad de Cincinnati: Dr. Patricia Valladares-Ruiz (especialista en literaturas caribeñas e hispanoamericanas), Dr. Carlos Gutiérrez (especialista en filologÃa hispánica) y Dr. Nicasio Urbina (especialista en literaturas latinoamericanas).

▼ The thesis focuses on defining identity in selected Latin American essays from the nineteenth to mid twentieth century. Thus, my main lines of research are devoted to the complex issues of representation of identity in selected essayistic works in the context of postcolonial Latin America. The first chapter is dedicated to three essayists of the nineteenth century and has three parts corresponding to the selected essayistic works of the Argentinean writer and statesman Domingo Faustino Sarmiento (1811 -1888), the Uruguayan essayist José Enrique Rodó (1872 -1917), and the Cuban national hero and writer Jose Martà (1853 - 1895). The second chapter is devoted to three essayists of the twentieth century: the Mexican essayist and poet Alfonso Reyes (1889-1959), the Peruvian journalist, political philosopher and activist José Carlos Mariátegui (1894-1930,) and the great Mexican writer Octavio Paz (1914-1998), who is the Nobel Prize winner for Literature (1990). Our selection of texts consists of selections from Facundo (1845) by Sarmiento, Ariel (1900) by Rodó, “Nuestra América” (1891) by MartÃ, “Visión de Anáhuac” (1915) by Reyes, selected parts of Siete ensayos de interpretación de la realidad peruana (1928) by Mariátegui, and El laberinto de la soledad (1950) by Paz. The main research question is how each of these six authors imagine/ represent the identity of their nation and at a higher level of identity in Latin America? My research question is mainly based on the theoretical findings of Benedict Anderson and Fredric Jameson. My question is mostly determined by the definition of “national allegory,” given by Fredric Jameson in his article “Third-World Literature in the Era of Multinational Capitalism.” The main lines of my analysis are dedicated to find and interpret examples in each of the authors of the national allegories through which they represent/imagine their national communities.

The Paradoxical Life of Saint Teresa of Avila:Submission and Subversion within the Patriarchal Hierachy of the Catholic Church in the Sixteen-Century Spain.

▼ Submissive daughter of the Church and radical reformist. Revered doctor of the Catholic Church and canonized author of Spanish Golden Age literature. Few people can compare their accomplishments with those of Saint Teresa of Avila; and even fewer can boast such an influence across so wide a range of social contexts. Teresa's life was characterized by paradoxes: sustaining her body while feeding her soul, living in the world while longing for heaven, submitting to ecclesiastical establishment while desiring the autorize to change the institution. The opposites that she experienced during her life combined to produce her unique personality, which persists today through her distinct writing style.
