Los textos elegidos para este estudio incluye las novelas El tiempo principia en Xibalbá (1985) de Luis de Lión, La otra cara: La vida de un maya (1992) y El retorno de los mayas (1998) de Gaspar Pedro González y la colección de cuentos Todo cambió (2006) de Josías López Gómez. Esta investigación estudia las transformaciones discursivas que se observan en las obras literarias de estos autores indígenas. Mi objetivo principal es demostrar que dichas transformaciones expresan la transición de un discurso maya contestatario a un discurso maya de revitalización cultural. Al examinar esta transición, esta disertación propone que la narrativa maya contemporánea trata los siguientes temas políticos, literarios e históricos: (1) problematiza categorías binarias de identidad racial y étnica como mestizo/ladino e indio/indígena así como su asociación al poder que se refleja en la relación entre hegemonía y subalternidad, (2) desestabiliza las representaciones estereotípicas y homogeneizantes de los pueblos indígenas para ilustrar su diversidad cultural y (3) enfatiza la capacidad y la determinación de los mayas para preservar su cultura y su identidad. Con este objetivo en mente, la disertación define el contexto histórico, sociocultural, político y artístico que precede la reaparición de la literatura maya contemporánea. Enseguida discute y analiza su discurso contestatario y el discurso de revitalización cultural así como la forma en que se manifiestan en las obras de los autores antes mencionados. La disertación concluye con una serie de ideas y temas aún pendientes en el estudio de la identidad indígena en la literatura maya contemporánea y latinoamericana.

Title: David Rousset et les conflits de la representation litteraire : a la decouverte de l'humanite concentrationnaire
Creator: Schirmacher, Sandrine Francine

Collection: Electronic Theses & Dissertations

His first essay, L'Univers Concentrationnaire, published in 1946, was awarded the Renaudot Prize in 1947 and is considered to be the foundational French text about the emergence of repression and its evolution in Nazi Germany. His conceptualization of Nazi concentration camps largely permitted the reconstruction of a unified French national memory. This...
Show moreAlthough now mostly forgotten, David Rousset was an important literary and political figure of the period immediately following WWII. His first essay, L'Univers Concentrationnaire, published in 1946, was awarded the Renaudot Prize in 1947 and is considered to be the foundational French text about the emergence of repression and its evolution in Nazi Germany. His conceptualization of Nazi concentration camps largely permitted the reconstruction of a unified French national memory. This dissertation analyzes David Rousset's Les Jours de Notre Mort and his use of the novel genre to testify about his experience in Nazi concentration camps. The problem of being both a witness, yet also testifying on behalf of others, is central to the comprehension of his work. In fact, Rousset only recounts fragments of his life and his suffering during his deportation to and internment in Buchenwald, Neuengamme and Porta Wesphalica. The interplay between fiction and testimony of his experience allows him to hide the mental and physical changes that affected him during his 16 months of incarceration. Recounting life in the camps through fictional characters as well as the stories of real comrades allows him to transcend not only his limited experience but also to focus on the extreme violence that prevailed in the camps and is crucial in explaining how Rousset relates and reconstructs the process of extermination in his novel.
