Summary: The first decades of the twentieth century were marked by a series of economic, social and cultural broad spectrum of different ways that influence in the arts in general and in the avant-garde literature, in particular. In this sense, the unstoppable force of capitalism and the consolidation of mass society will determine the emergence of new urban models, which in turn and inter alia, contribute to the emergence of a new kind of art. This paper analyzes the impact of new emerging urban settings understood in direct connection with the processes of modernity in Spain and Hispanoamérica- had in the production of literary Hispanic decades of the twenties and thirties of the twentieth century. Specifically, it deals with a corpus prosístico sufficiently large and diverse as to the findings of the study reveal a significant interrelationships between the concepts of "city / modernity" and "avant-garde prose Hispanic." They have taken into consideration different manifestations prosísticas such as the novel, the story, testing, or the epistle book travel, among other possible. This work is in addition to a wide range of expressions specifically urban-modern cinema, travel, claims feminists of the time ..- also vertebraron a decisive prose of the avant-garde period. Thus, the two main units -ciudad/modernidad and prose vanguardista- are filtered transversely by collateral such elements. The introduction sets out a series of conceptual foundations that provide a theoretical flam to textual analysis. First, it is subjected to review the relationship between the concepts of "modernity" and "city" in the light of the major theories act modernity, and then to study the extent of rethinking the concepts of "language" and "Time" as a new episteme configurators in the context of modernity, determine the emergence of new modes of narrativización. Furthermore, it was also necessary to review the processes ficiconalización and literaturización the concept of "city". The first chapter discusses how the modern city began to be recreated in literature from film parameters. The film provides writers vanguards numerous mechanisms and instruments that revolutionized art forms and narratives printed a new imprint on the vision of reality. In this sense, this chapter examines the extent to which the avant-garde prose avail of cinematic innovations to design a new concept of city discursivo-literaria. The second chapter discusses the mechanisms fiiconales that, in some texts prosísticos determine different images of the same city. To that end, we used the corpus epistolary Federico Garcia Lorca, sent his family and friends from New York and has been analyzing the extent to which the New York presents Lorca in his letters, compared with other lorquianos set out on the town, responding to a principle of loyalty or mimetic, on the contrary, a city ficcionalizada from literary own strategies of modernity. The third chapter discusses how certain women intellectuals of the caliber of Rosa Chacel, Maria Martinez Sierra or Maria Zambrano, among others were linchpin in the process of modernizing urban second and third decade of the twentieth century thanks to its emergence on the world stage cultural and literary Spanish. It explores, in this respect, how the women cultivated gender ensayístico with the aim of rearticular urban space from a perspective demands and thus, the extent to which managed to capture the town from its own parameters and vivenciales scriptural. As for the fourth chapter takes place rethinking the duality "happy twenties" vs. "disenchantment of the decade thirty" from the analysis 8 of non 827 velística of the mid-thirties. In this sense, it can be seen that the description more or less aseptic though always pitch preocupado- the urban phenomenon of the twenties is becoming the third decade of the twentieth century gradually rather than abruptly as much of the criticism has been saying, in this way, the city becomes the object converge where many of the criticisms by those same writers vanguard that the city itself contributed to the consolidation. In the fifth and final has been discussed for the lead prosística hispanoamericana and have been found to respond to many of the parameters that are in the vanguard of the Spanish narrative. The writers of the twenties and thirties of the twentieth century in the South American came also contains a call of modernity that they required a reorganziación their scriptural ways. Despite the pecualiaridades delas different areas of Hispanic-American cultural specificity as its own continent, the influence of the city and its most genuine permeates the Latin American avant-garde literature. The young man, Salvador Novo and Proserpina rescued by Jaime Torres Bodet, exemplify significantly, in this regard, to what extent the dynamism and pace imposed by modernity vertebró the literary representations of the city.

Summary: In the narrative of our book author note how the tensions of his life were engarzadas in the center of his creative activity. Ros gives us an art that reflected sensations and emotions, all alive. The aim was, in fact, catch the literary experiences. Attitude latter consistent with that advocated Baudelaire, who said that art is born of the ordinary and usual vehiculado by fashion, morale and passions, but that action transmutes into creative shapes and components of symbolic representation, as it is the titeratura. Develops therefore a project introspective and high commitment to himself, as powerful as subtle, intimate without renusciar the achievements of contemporary language. To some, a sense appears as a writer preciosista, a friend of nuance and delicate bright, but without falling into the alambicamiento nien remilgos, always distant from the kitsch. Therefore, narrating omamento and refined arguments with the crystalline sense is that we can find in their stories. This is the mystery, hidden that takes place precisely at this critical dimension of life that is fun sober and purified, the departure from the business, its expansion into imaginary worlds, getting ever achieved moments of emotional closeness: the rich presence of love and exploration of the silences of loneliness. And the mood takes the value of therapy and comfort against any adversity, a quiebro to death, a form of supreme mercy, joining that the latent sense of exclusion that we see in some of his characters, as it is for the author antechamber of emptiness and the dissolution. In the end, Ros cultivates a narrative suggestive, where the atmosphere and sensory and emotional nuances have to for that action, and that makes him a frank humorist with dramatic lapses.

Summary: The postcolonial African literature stems from the awareness on the part of the first writers trained in the colonial schools of their own identity midway between Western culture completely decontexturalized learned in school and their own colonial africanity. The first generations of African intellectuals educated in Western systems appropriated colonial languages and manipulated its control to be able to express cultural miscegenation. The constant gap between the older languages of the former colonizers and the minor variations that have resulted from the hybrid strategies I have described in the first part of the thesis is the key to understanding how the writers postcolonial subvert through the written word the order of the Authority on behalf of which set a single model of language, culture and nation. The basic idea is that we should retain in any context postcolonial any act of literary creation is undoubtedly a political act since writing as a subject originates in a former colony represents a position regarding the world inherited from imperialism. Â What we can establish relationship between literary and postcolonial translation? In the translation of texts postcolonial Africa it is important to differentiate good two processes: the writers of the colonial language, seeking to reflect the hybridization of postcolonial society from which they came through a translation of concepts and terms from the language local and the translator, whose work is to make these texts accessible to a readership usually unfamiliar cultural context of this hybrid, which are limited by the effect of strangeness or exoticism that can produce certain situations cultural twists that has been formed in the African context. Let us first of the traducción-creación, also called translation cultural or compositional translation, in terms of Ovidi Carbonell or Moradewun Adejunmobi, respectively. What we can retain the examples of traducción-creación analyzed in the second part of the theory is that this strategy has enabled a better understanding of African cultures by Western societies. The post-colonial writers, as observers of privileged Africa and the West, have played a role in reporting on cultural products of the companies that had long been marginalized. The traducción-creación has been and is still one of the means of redress of silence to which they have been subjected African cultures during colonization. To conclude this last part, I would like to stress that analyzing the strategies traducción-creación taken by postcolonial writers, translators can find models of how to restore various forms lingüsticas and cultural. Moreover, the insight into the problems surrounding the postcolonial literature as I have described throughout this thesis, you can raise awareness of the translator postcolonial literature of the impact of their work transmitter of a certain image of post-colonial cultures. By way of general conclusions, and finally, I want to emphasize three ideas: Through the colonization of the speech was instilled methodically and deliberately invisible differences that led to a long-term hierarchy of cultures colonizing and colonized. In the pens of writers postcolonial languages empires surrendered to the cause contrary: scroll instead of a dominant European culture to re-componer a patchwork of hybrid identities. What matters to the translator of postcolonial literature is not so much whether the colonial language used in a literary accurately reflect the actual 8 ity of 319 that language in the country concerned, but to try to reproduce the effect that produces such a mixture in a reader native.

Summary: One of the tools that, so appellant, it was worth the postmodern narrative in his peculiar business critical is the satire. That's prcticamente impossible walking into a novel without postmodernista run into strong dose of satirical criticism. However, if it serves the literary theory that has been dealt with the literature review postmodernista, which was so evident in the reading of fiction does not seem to deserve similar attention from a theoretical point of view. Tool discursive of ancestral origins, in this sense, the satire has gone through many different phases in terms of his critical assessment and even its consideration popular. Thus, often, and as is still the case at present, the concept of satire has been stigmatized by criticism anachronistic tendencies attributed to an educational, a moralist and a character necessarily spur critical penalties. Obviously, this conservative and reactionary nature seems that involve the use of the satirical have, in the eyes of the criticism, hardly compatible with the practice and resuleta of literary desprejuiciada postmodernista literature. And yet, a novel approach to any postmodernista we can show how entronque between satire and literature postmodernista takes place smoothly and how satire, far from reproducri the traditional constraints that have condemned to be a genre outlawed by the theories current literature, so often imbued by principles of "political correctness", without dissonance exceeds tailored to the lines bolder criticism of literature postmodernista. Thus, as observed in many postmodern novels, satire leaves añejas generic prescriptions and becomes, instead, an exercise in playful and irreverent, while maintaining its incentive and caustic critic, not a victim of c ae a draft literary inspitado motivated moralists or censuradores. Precisely, the doctoral thesis "The satire in the literature postmodernista d elas Americas: ex-centricidades a literary genre", held at the Department of Modern Philology at the University of Leon in the doctoral program "Interculturalism and Translation" and the draft research MIDAS (Multiculturalism, and Interculturalism Diaspora in the Americas), and directed by Dr. Cristina Gonzalez Garrigós and Mnuel Broncano Rodriguez, has been conceived as an exploration that seeks to shed light on the postponement to the wrong that has been subjected satire within criticism and literary theory that has been devoted to the literature postmodernista. El marco de estudio sobre el que se ha establecido esta investigación ha sido la literatura postodernista producida en Estados Unidos y en Hispanoamérica, por ser en estos dos ámbitos culturales donde de forma más fructífera se ha cultivado este tipo de literatura en estas décadas pasadas y donde therefore, samples have been found most significant of the strong coalition between the interests of postmodernism and critical satire. Moreover, beyond this primary objective of rehabilitating the satirical genre, undertake an analysis that involves examining some of the social and cultural factors that characterize nuestr asociedad contemporary "postmodern" has helped to provide an innovative approach on dynamic cultural, historical and ideological differences that, at various levels, mobilized two cultural contexts such as global preeminence are today, the United States and Latin America.

Summary: The study "Literary seductions" intended to provide a critical speech in which to frame a debate on issues such as desire, fiction and subjectivity. Through reading two novels critical of the British contemporary authors, Angela Carter and Jeanette Winterson, the study explores the procedure whereby the desire allows the subject to imagine a location desire allows the subject to imagine a location alternative and thus of natrualeza utopian, in the qu narrative of "I" in all its diversity, can be performed. The first set of the study presents the theoretical foundations of the theory in general.

The chapter offers conclusions investigates the procedure whereby the desire ne puts up a dynamic that allows the subject to create and enjoy a location alternatura of utopia staff through the fantasia.

Summary: The main objective of this thesis is to analyze, from a theoretical perspective of postmodern feminism the process by which four women poets, Fleur Adock, Eavan Boland, Guillaan Clake and Coral Runens, built through his poetry its own identity. There are several reasons justifying the joint analysis of his work. First, concidencias temporal and spatial since all his early work published in the British Islands in the mid-sixties, when hatch of the regunda gives the feminist movement. Although in some cases their early work can delatar some influence of feminism in their ensazos or articles, a change in the corepción the relationship between poetry and the congress polítco often required by feminism integral so far. There will always be against the gretovación imposed by a feminism based seratista and abugar by redefining certain constructs, not only patriarchal, but also of feminism domerante until the mid-eighties. In my dissertation shows that this change expressed by these poets, it is -- with the change that takes place within the feminist academic and theoretical, based on a dialogic relationship between postmodern and feminist discourses. And that renewal within the poetry written by women in the British Islands, as the renovation within feminism in its theoretical aspects, share certain basic characteristics and objectives.

Summary: Tensions between the processes of globalization and the nationalist sentiments are an important part of the political agenda for a large number of communities and nation states at the present time, a fact that is reflected especially in the construction of the European Union. The national identities are constructs that depend for their livelihood on a complex web of cultural apparatus. The narrative fiction has played a decisive role in building the collective identity of any nation and it can be said that, at present, the film has collected regarding the witness who is one of the greatest cultural artifacts in power at the time provide models for the identification / projection, as well as the simultaneous need to ensure that this essentially representational abstraction that is the nation will materialize. The convening power of cinema today makes the film narration is often the only contact between major sectors of the population and the world of culture and thought. The film genres and stereotypes created by them tend to explain simplistically a world sometimes too complex, thus perpetuating structures thought we could score at least as restrictive. Thus, depending on the manner in which it presents the reality on the screen, it can be understood as representing the "natural order" of things (as in the classic film) or, on the other hand, was one-sided , subjective reality of the patient's body. In this type of film, which we call "alternative", it suggests the existence of other views of reality represented through resources metanarrativos caught our attention on the act narrative itself. Depending on the manner in which it addresses the representation of reality, the text filmic offer some specific ideological implications. For example, different studies theorists have interpreted the realistic image was transformed into the signifier privileged representation film, perpetuating a way of seeing and understanding the world (and, by both the nation) in line with the prevailing ideology, so any attempt to break these hegemonic budgets have come acompafiados formal proposals that diverged from primary objective of transparency feature film classic. The filmmakers and that transgress conventional narrative formulas are putting into question not only a way of counting, but also how to understand the national community in which they enroll at the same time questioning, social conventions, cultural and ideological differences that make possible. From this approach emphasizes that the world of reality as history are no more than concepts tentative: both represented as the realities of the real world are governed by issues that had nothing to do with the "natural order" of things, but responding to a complex of buildings and artifacts based transitional structures. The influence of film narration on the national identity is illustrated by the analysis of American and British films and especially in its connection with the production of movies and Irish and Scottish building their national identities on the screen. Moreover, the films selected for this study, The Commitments (Irish) and Trainspotting (Scotland), not only away from the clichés in which the representation of their respective communities concerns but questioned openly offer such representations and na-tions (rra) radically different from the usual. Between difere 8 ncias má 74f s obvious is the fact that, compared to the binomial time pasado-ámbito rural customary in the classic film about Ireland and Scotland, both the action of The Commitments as of Trainspotting passes in the contemporary world and in urban areas, particularly in Dublin and Edinburgh. For this reason, and the relevance of the major urban centers in shaping the country, including a study of the city and its representation in film. From the sociological perspective, he examines how from the industrial age society tends to organize as a network of cities connected, a foundation on which rests the power, usually centralized state. Moreover, one can draw a parallel between the big cities and national identity in the sense that both realities have much to do with the world of representation and can be "read" as if it were text. In fact, according to several studies, a prerequisite for social change has to pass by a mandatory open questioning of policies representation of certain urban areas, especially the most márginales.

Summary: In the historic moment in which we find ourselves, we need a thorough review and criticism of Irish literature, a phenomenon of great importance socially, culturally, lingüstica politically and it is difficult to move on grounds extrínsecos fact literary itself, because perhaps the Irish literary tradition has been proposed as the foundation on which the nation emerges. Specifically, my study focuses on the work of Eavan Boland, regarded as the most important contemporary poet of Ireland. The poetry of Boland has prompted an entire generation of writers who recognize women as active and creative not merely as a decorative figure or taxable, as nationalism, in general, has fostered. The fundamental objective of this work has been to study the evolution poetic that the author in question has experienced in his long literary career. The work of Eavan Boland presents a clear evolution from a poetic formalism, based on the dominant aesthetic canons, a gradual reassertion of their identity as women, in defiance of all sorts of conventions. Such developments can be seen in the language used, as in the author's attitude to the history and culture of Ireland. The trajectory of poetic Boland is studied from a feminist and postcolonial, with the aim of determining to what extent the poet gradually redefined the terms to be "women" and "Irish". To do so, argue the theoretical model postulated by Elaine Showalter in his study A Literature of Their Own (1999) 1977, with appropriate modifications. Showalter defended the existence of three phases in the evolution of a literary writer, he calls phases respectively as "Feminine", "Feminist" and "Female". The steps that identifies Showalter kept important similarities with the phases enacted by two well-known thinkers, intellectuals anticolonial movement of the mid-twentieth century, Albert Memmi The Colonizer and the Colonized (1990) 1957 AND Frantz Fanon in The Wretched of the Earth (1990) 1961, in securing a successful decolonization, not only physically but also mentally, the colonized subject. The similarity between the two theories, the feminist and post-colonial, I was finally led to the female subject and the subject colonized match both in the nature of their oppression and in the methods used to overcome its status as entities marginalized. This dual approach allows for circumventing the poetic career as a writer Fm which gets gradually confront and challenge the dual colonialism, patriarchy and imperial, which has subjugated the Irish woman and Ireland itself. To assess in greater detail the configuration of a female identity and Irish in the play of Boland, apply in greater depth the theories of the formation of identity developed in the fields of feminist and post-colonial studies. Thus, all the theoretical where I always relied are subject to the analysis of the poems selected. On the one hand, using the tenets voices emanating from the post as Edward Said, Hommi Bhabha, Gayatri Spivak and Stuart Hall, as well as other prominent figures in Irish studies (Luke Gibbons, Colin Graham, Dedan Kiberd, Richard Kearney, David Lloyd, Gerardine Meaney, Gerry Smyth and Sarah Fulford). On the other hand, I use the theories of feminist proposals not only by the American Elaine Showalter, but also by Héléne Cixous, Lus Irigaray and Julia Kristeva, whose works are representative of the feminist movement in France. In its various alternatives, these theorists' post-feminist and advocate a hibridismo and fluidity them to cross ideological boundaries. His theories on the formation of the identity of the subject postcolonial and feminine, and his concern about issues such as marginalization, endurance, power, nationality, language, culture and the "sense of place" offer prospects impor 8 tant p 874 plows decipher the motivations poetic and aesthetic behind the poetry of Boland. These theories allow us to deepen the fabric of a postcolonial poetry gradually subverts the charge and could in essence be a living example of the breakdown of the subjugation of both women and the country in which women live, opening the domestic sphere and eliminating borders colonized subject's psychic. The evolution that Boland experienced in his poetic career illustrates the tensions in an exemplary manner to which Irish women writers are subjected post as subjects and gender. Boland wants to find a "sense of place" stable, spiritually yearning entrenched as Irish citizen and as a woman writer. In the process, is constantly being bombarded by a profound experience of uprooting cultural and historical. Thus, the writer is divided between two identities, their national identity Irish (the flame to identify with the nation, to participate actively in his speech), and its identity as a subject emigrant hybrid (which allows you to go beyond the boundaries of all these ideologies which advocate the identity of the individual from categories such as "nation" and "gender"). As a result of this tension, Boland gets open a space where subversion new identities descolonizadas can grow, which I named a new territory for women in Irish poetry.

Summary: This thesis arises from the desire to establish a sense intimately cultural bond between Bulgaria and Spain. There have been other writers Bulgarians who have dedicated to Spain some of its pages, but none has approached the Iberian country with the intensity and affection he did Dimitar Dímov 81909-1966), who was inspired by this country to write much of his work. Dímov is a writer regarded as a classic of Bulgarian literature, but his work continues to suffer at the moment of its democratic country criticism of some representatives of the cultural policy, which brand, without more, communist writer, as if to Dímov not it would have sufficed to suffer the blows life into his work both as a fascist governments of the Communists. Due to the complex and multifaceted personality Dímov has deemed it necessary to issue an approximation Spanish of his work from various angles, so the thesis has been structured into the following chapters: The first chapter deals with the issue of topics that has swept Spain's image abroad, topics he knows Dímov for having read their primary responsibility French and Anglo-Saxon. In the Spanish Civil War of 1936-1939, even meaning and its impact specifically on the Bulgarian culture engages the second chapter. The third deals with the most important milestones of the biography of Dímov with particular attention to developments that could influence their character and their training, their first steps as a writer, his shy and reluctant contacts with the policy, the issuance of its first novel, "Lieutenant-Benz," in 1939, and his studies of Beterinaria until a postponed professor at the University of Sofia. The fourth chapter shows early interest Dímov by Spanish language and culture, its commitment to a scholarship to continue studies at the Institute of Histology Ramon y Cajal in Madrid, his journey from Bulgaria to Spain in full World War, which inspire good part of his travel notes, the relationship with his friend Spanish Juan Eduardo Zuniga, his job investigator, and his travels, in order, by Castile and Andalusia. The problem facing Dímov with censorship over his life as a writer, which prevents its creative activity in real conditions of freedom, took the fifth chapter. It highlights the resounding "Case Snuff" broad impact in the field of communist countries in the early fifties. The sixth chapter stops on the analysis of the method of literary writer Bulgarian, stressing the importance of women in the work dimoviana, a type of women that fatigue and doom dominate their existence, a method in which there is an important influence Freud. In the seventh chapter begins analysis of the central part of the thesis, namely work dimoviana themes Spanish. This book consists, in addition to the novel "Souls sentenced" to be discussed in the following chapter, four notes travel narrative "suffocating night in Seville," the drama "closing in Rainbow," the unfinished work "Hidalgo "and two articles of a political nature. The eighth chapter is devoted, as it was said to "convicted Souls," which can be considered as the most authentic novel of Dímov, being the only one in which its author was free of inhibitions and political ties, because surely a year that was published, 1945, historic moment of transition in Bulgaria of an authoritarian government right to a communist dictatorship. "Souls convicted" plasma masterly entresijos complexes of the human psyche within the harsh reality of the Spanish Civil War. The approximate Dímov this reality reflects a keen interest in the problems of yours Spain, in which deep feelings are involved, far from the temptation to seek an exotic atmosphere, even in tragic circumstances, to achieve a "best seller" . Finally, the ninth chapter is devoted to the relationship of friendship between Dímov and his friend Spanish Juan Eduardo Zuniga, a young man interested in the Slavic culture and now recognized escri 8-tor, and t 310 raductor also next to Hispanic Bulgarian Tódor Néikov, two classic works of literature from that Balkan country "under the yoke" and "The reaper." The thesis includes the translation of the author's own, the whole works dimoviana subjects English, except for "doomed souls," which, by extension, would have overwhelmed the límties reasonable work of this type.

Summary: This thesis explores the cultural relations between Europe and Canada as manifested in the images contained in the Canadian literary discourse in the late twentieth century. The scope of study is focused on Canadian fiction in the English language in the last decade of the twentieth century and interdisciplinary theoretical framework within which it takes place this research is based on several pillars: first, and foremost, the branch of comparative literature call imagología and on the other, and in addition, postcolonial theory, cultural studies, narratology and literary criticism written by Canadians on Canadian literature. The imagología brings the concepts of image, self-image, heteroimagen, keyword and word ghost, while the postcolonial theory helps to better understand the colonial relations between Canada and the former British Empire expressed in the literature.

Finally, we have chosen works awarded prestigious literary prizes in the field to access the Canadian literary discourse officially recognized and thus more widespread. The work establishes and proves that the images of Europe found in the works analyzed arise primarily from three environments theme: migration and travel between Europe and Canada, the world wars and colonial relationships between Canada and the United Kingdom. It also presents an overview and a detailed analysis of the contexts in which these images are used. In addition, discusses how these images operate at different levels of speech and for different purposes and responds to the degree of commitment that the authors established with the imagery used. Understand what heteroimagen the Old Continent in Canada lets us know how it perceives Europe from the outside, how it articulates the self-Canada compared with Europe, what role these images in Canadian literature for recalar Finally, in the contemplation of how the images of himself and others who find themselves in contemporary literature with an illuminating demonstration of Canadian society: that of questioning and, in turn, the search for an identity that allows the interpretation of its past, its present and its future.
