"The Spanish Student" y "La Gitanilla" : del convencionalismo a la rebeldía
Piñero Gil, Eulalia C.
The Spanish Student (1843) by Henry Wadswprth Longfellow is a play based on Miguel de Cervantes's novel La gitanilla (1612). Both works present a Gypsy girl who stniggles for surviving in a non-Gypsy male-dominated society. Two ideas are going to be developed throughout the texts: the young Gypsy's honour and the Gypsies'role in Spanish society. On the one hand, Cervantes portrays a self-confident Gypsy girl who wants to be respected by men, and a proud Gypsy community whose only goal is to be accepted by society. On the other hand, Longfellow depicts a very insecure girl,concemed about pubiic judgement on her virtue and a Gypsy community devoted to stealing and plundering. Consequently, two attitudes are observed in these authors:
Cervantes's nonconservative and challenging position vs. Longfellow's conventional
romantic view of the Gypsies in Spain.

The Sirens of Titan : el universo post-modernista de Kurt Vonnegut
Lerate de Castro, Jesús
A close reading of The Sirens of Titan reveals that this early novel by Kurt
Vonnegut, far from being a mere science fiction tale ¿as it has often been labelled¿
is a first-rate literary work in which the author displays a great variety of metafictional devices. The metaphysical quest for meaning in life is paralleled by a tortous, roundabout physical journey where the ordered, controlled and harmonius universe¿ textually made coherent by its galactical structure and mythical allusions¿ is challenged dialogically by a world of chaos which is sown with the absurd, with unexpected lexical yuxtaposition, indeterminations and de-mythoiogizing parodies. This paper aims to explore this post-modernist natura of the novel.
