Full textThis Doctoral Thesis tries to understand and explain the importance omitted inthe History of Spain between the current cultural association of the phenomenonof flamenco and the national identity of Spanishness.The work was involved within the cultural characteristics of the gypsypeople in the «rompien» or 'gitaneidad' of the values of substantial aesthetics andattending to the modal categories not related to musicality within what we call«lo flamenco».These distinctive characteristics formed part of the repertoire andstereotype of the national identity of «Spanishness» through the use of theparticular identities of Spanish gypsies.The socio-cultural context of the gypsy people will be analysed, fromtheir arrival in the area of the Iberian Peninsula known today as Spain and theirdifficulties in being recognised as part of Spanish society due to the racistlegislative framework based on the denial of social inclusion in which Spanishpolitics has developed.Gypsies came to achieve a representative position in Spain and the worldin the brushstrokes of prestigious artists such as Fortuny, Singer Sargent andApperley. They also had a great presence in Edison's first films on the Americancontinent, such as those of Carmencita and others that were better known inSpain, such as the film María de la O (Elias 1936).The thesis will analyse how the elements of a marginalised and despisedethnic group throughout Spanish history are accepted by the centre until theybecome iconographic representations of the country.The methodology will be based on the interdisciplinary nature of thecontents and the use of diverse strategies that include: genetic studies, researchin various archives and libraries, viewing of films and photographs, personalinterviews with relevant personalities and a multitude of readings related to thesubject.Among the results of this work we can highlight: the identification of thepossible origin of the polka-dot pattern in the aesthetics of flamenco; the identityof some people in little-studied films from the first third of the 20th century; andthe value of the history of the Maya family of Sacromonte in the history offlamenco and its gypsy identity.Furthermore, in the conclusions, some aspects of the history of the gypsypeople were examined in depth and it was argued how the gypsy person hasalways been placed in a degraded position in the social, political and legislativespheres. In order to tackle the problem of non-compliance with ConstitutionalLaw, the involvement of university education in Spanish gypsy issues is apending, urgent and fundamental issue

Full textConsidering the relation between History and Cinema, this present dissertation will ponder on the anarchist cinematographic production of CNT during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) through the analysis of three of its most important fiction works: Carne de Fieras (1936/1992), Barrios Bajos (1937) and Aurora de Esperanza (1937). They were structured in a classic and melodramatic narrative and, dealing with several themes, as adultery, gangster-linked prostitution and the misfortune of unemployment, they represent a unique initiative in the construction of a social cinema, under the command of a powerful anarchist organization during the revolutionary process. In this sense, well consider the specifics in the development of Spanish anarchism and cinema, for their singular features have given a specific dynamic to those movies.

Full textThis thesis presents a reflection on the relation between Cinema and History. The cinema had difficulty being accepted by historians as a source because of the characterization and qualification of this source, as well as their unwillingness to consider them. This paper discusses the relation between cinema and history and its ability of interaction. It ponders on the subject from the perspective of the historian's work and its historiographical doings. The discussion starts with the premise that the historian can not shut his eyes to the cinema, its challenges and different uses and abuses committed against history. To renounce debate and reflection implies on the loss of the social and political function that the historiographical doing carries, and we are inseparable from it. This thesis proposes the development of a filmhistory method of analysis, seeking to synthesize the reflections of different authors in the areas of History and Cinema. Our analysis is based on three films that address the context of the Spanish Civil War. The first movie is, ¡Ay, Carmela! (Carlos Saura, 1990), which focuses on the conflict through the dramas and desires of three stage actors and their struggle for survival. This film allows us to study the interrelations between art and war and between the humor in the characters’ actions and their plays against the horror of war and its traumas. The brigade and the presence of Italian fascists during the process of internationalization of the conflict are also highlighted by the film. The second film, Land and Freedom (Ken Loach, 1995), addresses the role of the militias and especially the political divisions that emerged within the Republican camp (or fascist) during the war. The film allows a discussion on the political debate within the left and the context in which it is portrayed. The third film, Freedomfighters (Vicente Aranda, 1996) discusses the role of the anarchist militias in the Civil War front through the story of the nun Maria and her journey with a group of anarchist fighters, depicted from a collective point of view without any character on a leading role. The conclusion presents comparative elements of the three films and reflects on the Cinema- History relation and its implications for contemporary society.

Full textTitle of Thesis: THE PROVINCE OF SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE BETWEEN TWO DICTATORSHIPS (1923-1945). HUNGER AND ORDER. The doctoral thesis is divided into three blocks. In the first are traced the main points of the social, economic and political conditions in the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife in the first half of the twentieth century. In the second section, is raised the development of political institutions (municipal, insular, provincial and national) during the examined period, taking as a common theme the survival of patronage system and chieftainship. In the third section, I study the opposition emerged against a regime that marginalizes the great majority of the population, both in the country and in the city, uniting all the political directions laid under the concept of the left-wing. The analysis of the repression emerged after the military uprising of July the 18th, 1936, has special relevance. The traditionally dominant class in the province (large landowners and merchants, enriched with the export of bananas) through its network of clientele, dominated all political structures in the province, since the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera. They kept political control during the Second Republic, holding back social reforms in areas where power was lost, and got involved in the coup of July the 18th, 1936, being restored back into the institutions that govern public life.

Full textThis work is dedicated to the study of the trilogy of the Spanish writer Rafael Chirbes (1949-2015), made uo of the Larga marcha, La caída de Madrid and Los viejos amigos, and through which the author recounts the recent history of Spain, since the civil war until the return of a democratic regime, via the Francoism period. The narrative study of each novels coupled with a collective approach will allow us to observe how the story of the characters ends up recounting Spain’s History as well as the story of the author’s disillusioned generation
Foehn, Salome. "Les philosophes de l'exil republicain espagnol de 1939." Thesis, Paris 3, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011PA030151/document.
Full textSpanish Republican philosophers in exile sided with the Second Republic, legally proclaimed on April 14, 1931. They embraced the anti-fascist cause rising in the 1920s and 1930s in Europe. During the Civil war they stood among the people. The war lasted three years. 1939 saw the victory of General Francisco Franco, supported by Nazi Germany and the Italy of Mussolini. Threatened with death, they had no choice but to escape Spain. Some intellectuals experienced French concentration camps but, for the most part, they found refuge in Latin America, especially in Mexico and Venezuela. In exile, they swore to remain loyal to the Second Republic and to the spirit of the Spanish people. These philosophers belonged to the vainquished, as those everywhere in Europe who, moved by liberal views and humane ideals rised against Fascist barbarity. As a result, their respective works are still widely unknown today – despite restless efforts made to promote their thought to a larger audience for over half a century. In addition to the historical context of crisis during the interwar period, the situation of Spanish philosophy itself is suggestive. Indeed, Spanish philosophy was institutionalised at the beginning of the twentieth century only ; the Schools of Madrid and Barcelona were created. In this sense, Spain caught up on other European countries, Germany especially. These politics of cultural and intellectual renovation are first bestowed upon the generation of philosophers I study, born in the 1900s. When the Spanish war erupts, they had become professionals of international recognition. This shows the actual limits of academic philosophy, incapable of taking or unwilling to accept unorthodox ways of philosophising. The experience of exile itself serves in my opinion as a catalyst : Spanish republican philosophers in exile seek emancipation from academic conventions to philosophise freely ; that is, in Spanish and according to the spirit of the people. No doubt "poetic reason" – the true invention of Spanish republican exile – stems from this ideal of autonomous thinking

Full textThis thesis is about documentaries which, in Spain, are in a half-way between militant commitment and political disengagement. Our research focused on minority movies likely to take the opposite view of the feeble representations of social problematics, and thus, to propose a political interpretation. These productions, by coming closer to militancy, question the speech and the action of in place authorities (political and economical) and, at the mean time, show alternatives that belong to a distant or very recent past. Portmán, a la sombra de Roberto (Miguel Martí, 2001), El efecto Iguazú (Pere Joan Ventura, 2002), 200 km. (Discusión14, 2003), La mano invisible (Isadora Guardia, 2004), Veinte años no es nada (Joaquín Jordà, 2004), El astillero (Disculpen las molestias) (Alejandro Zapico, 2007), Flores de luna (Juan Vicente Córdoba, 2009), 15M Libre te quiero (Basilio Martín Patino, 2011), although these movies share a lot of things in common with social criticism, they do not focus on individual fates, but rather on collective projects. Moreover, beyond describing facts, they act as whistleblowers in order to modify the viewer’s consciousness
Faure-Gignoux, Sophie. "Le théâtre anthropophage de Miguel Romero Esteo ou le cycle grotescomachique infernal." Thesis, Aix-Marseille, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015AIXM3035.
Full textThe theatrical universe of Miguel Romero Esteo, undoubtedly one of the most influential spanish playwrights of the second half of the 20th century, opens up spaces that emerge as unknown worlds no one has ever explored. In his work, consisting of plays he himself calls « grotescomachies », he invents a new dramaturgy, festive, ritual and baroque, which draws on various literary, theatrical, pictorial and musical traditions. The abundant usage of intertextuality in this polymorphous and hybrid theater, post-modern ahead of his time – where the researcher can gather traces of a cultural anthropology – underlines what the Self owes to the Other in every aesthetic and ideological perception of the world. Our primary focus will deal with the treatment of language, as the creation of the dramatic speech ventures off the beaten path and outlines routes that are unusual. Romero Esteo engages in a true deconstruction of speech and thus creates an unprecedented imaginary space, where poetry and music hold a central place. The author creates a celebration of sense and senses, at once loud and lyrical, but also critical and grotesque, where every single element of the dramatic structure falls within a specific form of play which, far from just materializing a unique playground, redefines the boundaries of the theatrical space-time.« Free-range » theater, theater of freedom… this unrivalled language, which mingles animal and human, spiritual and physical, insanity and reason, earth and sky, builds a timeless universe that allows for better appreciation and constant mockery of the distinctive features of the human condition
Mohring, Agatha. "Les dispositifs de l'intime dans le roman graphique espagnol contemporain : une approche intermédiale." Thesis, Toulouse 2, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018TOU20040.
Full textContemporary graphic novels address intimate themes such as autobiography and everyday life. They try to represent the unspeakable, the interiority that resists direct figuration, and they have to create modalities of disclosure that do not imply the distortion of intimacy. To do so, graphic novel artists often resort to strategies used by other media. They can also refer to them in order to cause a breach in the narrative and the figuration through which the reader can catch a glimpse of intimacy. Theater, photography, sketches or travelbooks, dance or cinema often break into the panel. They can even deeply modify the form of graphic novels. Analysing nearly forty intimate and intermedial contemporary Spanish graphic novels, this thesis studies the modalities of representation of intimacy. Moreover, it aims at defining its challenges in the 21st century. It also shows that intermedial references allow the artist to articulate the text and the image in a different way to suggest intimacy. Apparatus and intermediality theories turn out to be relevant tools to examine interconnection levels between different media, as well as their impact on the figuration of intimacy. The intermedial porosity of the graphic novel also questions its media status and its position in the contemporary editorial and cultural context. Its relations with the comic and the novel are ambiguous, since they oscillate between distancing and approaching. Moreover, on the one hand, they corroborate the mediatic independence of the graphic novel, while, on the other hand, they invalidate it. This thesis aims at finding out if the contemporary Spanish graphic novel is already established as a cultural series differentiated from the comic, or if it is still in an emerging stage
Las novelas gráficas contemporáneas tratan temáticas intimistas, por ejemplo la autobiografía o el relato del día a día. Plantean cómo representar lo indecible, la interioridad que resiste a la figuración directa, y tienen que inventar modalidades de desvelamiento que no impliquen la desvirtuación de lo íntimo. Entonces, los artistas recurren con frecuencia a estrategias propias de otros medios, o se refieren a ellos para crear brechas en la narración y en la imagen a través de las cuáles lo íntimo se deja entrever. El teatro, la fotografía, el libro de bocetos y de viaje, la danza o el cine irrumpen a menudo en las viñetas, y hasta pueden modificar en profundidad la forma de las novelas gráficas. Este trabajo observa, en unas cuarenta obras españolas contemporáneas, intimistas e intermédiales, las modalidades de representación de lo íntimo, y define sus retos en el siglo XXI. Demuestra también que las referencias intermediales permiten articular de una manera distinta el texto y la imagen en la novela gráfica para sugerirlo. La Crítica de los dispositivos y las teorías intermediales resultan ser herramientas pertinentes para examinar los niveles de interconexión entre los distintos medios, y sus incidencias en la figuración de lo íntimo. La porosidad intermedial de la novela gráfica también pone en tela de juicio su estatuto mediático y su ubicación en el panorama editorial y cultural contemporáneo. Sus relaciones con el cómic y la novela son ambiguas, puesto que oscilan entre distanciamiento y acercamiento, y que, por un lado, corroboran la independencia mediática de la novela gráfica, y, por otro lado, la invalidan. Esta tesis intenta averiguar si la novela gráfica española contemporánea ya está asentada como serie cultural diferenciada del cómic, o si sigue involucrada en una fase de emergencia

Full textAlejandro Lopez Andrada, a poet, novelist and essayist from the "generation of sons" as Juan Vila calls it, traces the lost or disappearing past of his native Andalusia.His prose is notable for its elegiac character and despite the generic diversity that characterises his works, they all express a feeling of nostalgia.This study aims to present, in the first instance, the narrative voice that is expressed in the chosen corpus as well as the subjectivity that defines it, and, secondly, the expression of this nostalgia through the exaltation of childhood, in which the representation of the Andalusian homeland is enshrined. Finally, the last part of this work is devoted to the Christian humanism that emerges from the texts, which reflect the author's own personal faith. This particularly manifests itself in the expression of love of the Other, in the demand for the values and way of life which hark back to the author's childhood and by the weight given to the importance of religion in all his work

Full textThis PhD Dissertation aims to analyze the Classical and Contemporary sources present in Aurora Luque’s poetical imaginary. Starting from Gennette’s intertextual theory included in Palimpsests. Literature in the Second Degree, and in order to unveil those literary marks that allow us to better understand the ultimate representations of the poet’s literary affinities, I will explore Luque’s published work between 1982 and 2014. The thesis is divided into three major blocks: the first is dedicated to Luque’s “political word” and it examines the literary inspiration that the author has found in the surrounding reality as well as in the course of History and "Intrahistoria"; the second focuses on the Classical sources in her poetry (Sappho, Catullus, Epicurus, Plato, Classical Mythology) and it analyzes the connection between antiquity and postmodernism; and finally, the third block is dedicated to the study of Contemporary literary and artistic manifestations: Luque’s poetical referents, many of which can be found in the advent of cinematography and in the literature of the 19th and 20th century (Sophia de Mello, Luis Cernuda, Friedrich Hölderlin, Emily Dickinson), inevitably connects her to the cardinal canons of Classical Antiquity.
Fintzel, Julie. "Le personnage apocryphe dans l'oeuvre de Max Aub." Thesis, Aix-Marseille, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015AIXM3072.
Full textThis doctoral thesis has benn aproached in a perspective of history of literature, and aims to consider a global thought about the nature, the meaning and the impact of the use of the apocryphal for the Spanish writer Max Aub (Paris, 1903, Mexico City, 1972). The process underpins the ambitious project of "El Laberinto Mágico" ̶The Magic Labyrinth ̶, which groups together the works dedicated to the Spanish Civil War. Max Aub breaks with a first experimental practice of literature to focus from this point onward on the game of a character firmly immersed in History. The creation of the apocryphal character takes for the author a value of existential testimony, which goes beyond the playful dimension of the fiction and reality mix. In a century characterized by wars and violence, in an author deeply marked by the Spanish Civil War and the painful uprooting experience, the apocryphal character also goes back to the question of identity, as well as the otherness experience , and the exploration of the other possible existential paths. This exploration of the limits of the narrative genre contributes to the resolution of the "crisis of the novel" in the twenties, it is also part of a double perspective, national and European, and is anchored in History, to the point where it gives of it a new vision
Léveillé, Maxime. "Le roman amplifié : musique et musicalité dans la prose de fiction espagnole contemporaine (1993-2014)." Thesis, Reims, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018REIML006.
Full textThe aim of this thesis is to study the interartistic dialogue between music and literature in contemporary Spanish prose fiction since the emergence of “X generation” at the beginning of the 1990s. In a context of mass culture, the rise of this group of writers, namely led by Ray Loriga or José Angel Manas, has revealed a constant and lasting permeability of novels to music. Thus, such an influence is visible in some of the works of Augustin Fernández Mallo, one of the main representatives of the “mutant” movement that appeared in 2007 and in that of writers who were not connected to any particular literary group, such as Aixa de la Cruz, Belén Gopegui, Guillermo Aguirre, Pablo Gutiérrez, ou Kiko Amat. The love of music in these writers is the basis of an interartistic project where literary invention is connected to an abundant musical imaginary world, and its textualisation brings us to consider the novel as a musical aesthetic form. Thus, the novels studied are filled with a poetics of dissemination, which expands musicality to different components of the story and increases the perceptive dispositions of the text, so that the auditory imagination of the reader is stimulated. So, the fascination for music gives birth to a constellation of works whose resonant, musical, generic, thematic diegetic and stylistic aspects will be analysed through the concept of amplification that we define as the paths used by fiction to increase the power of mimesis, create a story and signify something beyond the frontiers of the novel, thanks to music
