    El mensaje regeneracionista de Emma de la Barra: Stella un best-seller fin de siglo
    (Latin American Studies Program, University of Delaware, Newark, DE, 2011-06-30) Torres-Pou, Joan
    Stella, published in 1905 by Emma de la Barra, also known as César Duáyen, was an unquestionable best-seller and the most important Argentine novel of the turn-of-the-century. However, critics have paid little attention to the text, being studied only recently by those interested in Spanish-American women writer’s production. From a multidisciplinary approach, my article studies Stella in the context of Argentine Regeneracionismo, it analyzes the different political ideas expressed in the novel and explores the reasons behind its incredible success.

    Los intelectuales académicos, medios de comunicación masiva y opinión pública en el México contemporáneo
    (Latin American Studies Program, University of Delaware, Newark, DE, 2014-06-30) Ochoa Bilbao, Luis
    El artículo describe las características básicas de la élite intelectual mexicana, de extracción académica, que participa en la opinión pública gracias a su inclusión en los medios de comunicación masiva, principalmente en la radio y la televisión de cobertura nacional. Se trata de un fenómeno que debe entenderse como la “modernización” del intelectual mexicano y que logra “profesionalizar” el debate mediático de los asuntos públicos.

    Rastros trasatlánticos del caso Galíndez en la narrativa del trujillato
    (Latin American Studies Program, University of Delaware, Newark, DE, 2011-06-30) Gallego Cuiñas, Ana
    This paper examines, from the viewpoint of transatlantic studies, different literary representations of Jesús de Galíndez in the Trujillato novels. Galíndez was a Spanish Republican and member of the PNV (Basque Nationalist Party) who was killed by Trujillo in 1956. The literary expression of this victim of the Dominican dictator has been raised by many novels in and out of the Dominican border, from Lafourcade, Vázquez Montalbán, Viriato Sención and Matilla Rivas, where Galíndez acquired a greater textual role, to its oblique treatment in the Trujillato novels, such as El escupido by Manuel del Cabral and La maravillosa vida breve de Óscar Wao by Junot Diaz. This literary topic has become more important outside the island, because the Trujillato novel written by Dominicans has focused on events associated with "blood" to the Dominican people. However, the eternal presence of the Galindez case and its fictionalization come as no surprise, because his murder became one of the triggers for the fall of Trujillo and one of the most important events of the dictatorship. Resumen: En este ensayo se analiza desde el enfoque de los estudios trasatlánticos las diferentes representaciones literarias de Jesús de Galíndez (un republicano español y miembro del PNV [Partido Nacionalista Vasco] que emigra a Santo Domingo y es asesinado por el aparato trujillista en 1956) en las novelas del trujillato. La plasmación literaria de esta víctima del dictador dominicano ha sido abordada por una pléyade de novelas dentro y fuera de las fronteras dominicanas: desde Lafourcade, Vázquez Montalbán, Viriato Sención y Matilla Rivas, donde adquiere un mayor protagonismo textual, al tratamiento oblicuo de novelas del trujillato como El escupido de Manuel del Cabral o La maravillosa vida breve de Óscar Wao de Junot Díaz. Así, este motivo literario ha adquirido mayor relevancia y repercusión literaria fuera de la isla, puesto que la trayectoria de la prolija “novela del trujillato” escrita por dominicanos ha atendido principalmente a acontecimientos ligados “con sangre” al pueblo dominicano. No obstante, esta presencia sempiterna del caso Galíndez no debería de sorprendernos, toda vez que su abordaje se llevó a cabo desde la ficción del trujillato; y es que el asesinato del vasco se convirtió en uno de los detonantes de la caída de Trujillo y en uno de los sucesos ancilares de la tiranía.

    The US and Panama: The Evolution of an Asymmetric Relationship
    (Latin American Studies Program, University of Delaware, Newark, DE, 2011-06-30) Watts, Michelle Arnold; Dannels-Ruff, Kimberly
    This article examines the historic transition of the Panama Canal from the United States to Panama and analyzes how this transition transformed the relationship between the US and Panama. We argue that the relatively peaceful transition of the Canal from the US to Panama, despite its flaws, ultimately allowed Panama to overcome a history of occupation, to gain long-awaited sovereignty over its territory and to expand its role in the international community. With the acquisition of the Canal, and the lengthy transition period which allowed adequate time for Panamanians to master Canal operations, Panama has become an essential player in the global economy and now uses the Canal as a catalyst for national economic growth. The transition, as well as the divergent interests of both actors, changed the historically asymmetric relationship between the US and Panama. While the US remains dominant, Panama has solidified its sovereignty.
