| dc.description | My interest in the present discussion involves a discursive analysis of the literary texts of Cleofas Jaramillo and Jovita González. On the basis of a study of two border autobiographies- Romance of a Little Village Girl and "Jovita González: Early Life and Education"--as well as some of the autobiographically informed elements of Dew on the Thorn, I will examine these works as hybrid narrative forms in which the text can be seen as a model of culture and as a meaning generator. So as to understand the process of communication and the production of new information that results from the written word I will look at the discursive strategy of description and the notion of 'cultural pre-constructs' (Grize 1990) and how they function within the narrative as a means of constructing border discourse which allows the reader to understand the knowledge, notions, desires and opinions of the subject in relation to the collective sense of identity. The types of discursive strategies that stand out in these border autobiographies can be located within what Yuri Lotman (1984, 1990) has called the 'semiosphere.' I will pay particular attention to what can be termed as border discourse which involves the narrative strategy of description as the basis for understanding a discourse that focuses on self as well as collective restoration of identity. | |
