Show moreThis thesis studies a selection of narrative works published in Argentina between 2001 and 2005, period known as post-crisis, which makes up a corpus denominated "the narrative of the youth" characterized by narrative accounts focused on the link between the young and their past. The analysis of the short story "Cría de Asesinos" and the novel Esto por ahora by Andrés Rivera, El origen de la tristeza by Pablo Ramos, Delivery by Alejandro Parisi and Perdida en el momento by Patricia Suárez, is carried out using methodological tools taken from the field of narratology considering these texts pay particular attention to the category of narrator. The narrative voice and others resources create narrations in which the distance or the appropriation of stories told by adults to the young heads to a reflexion about the narration itself. Seeing that the past is filled with unsolvable silences, the young try to make sense of what is unknown about oneself. In conclusion, the failures in the narration allow that each appropriation of the incomplete meanings finds a partial resolution in writing as a space for the antagonistic encounter between the subject and the narration of his life; between the narration and the history.

Show moreThis study of an indigenous community combines the use of archival documents with evidence from archaeological excavations to offer an anthropological analysis, drawing on the concepts of dialogics, doxa, and practice to show how we can understand historically obscured people and histories. A network of pueblos de indios integrated themselves in colonial society in Honduras through service in a coastal watch, while resisting exploitation beyond the legal requirements of encomienda. The circulation of people between towns as spouses allowed for the sharing of colonial experiences and tactics of persistence. This network perpetuated indigenous practices, including the cultivation, circulation, and use of cacao, likely for ritual, and the use of chipped stone tools. Masca, later known as Candelaria, was one such indigenous town located in the district of San Pedro Sula. Its people identified as a community defined by the presence of their houses, church, agricultural fields, and cacao plantations. The community used a variety of techniques to persist under colonization until the nineteenth century. These included exploiting the colonial legal system, the continued use of indigenous family name by community elites, moving the entire community to avoid violence, and exploiting the casta system to change the perceived identity of individuals.
