Item Cusco después de Los zorros : the legacy of Arguedas in contemporary Andean narrative(2012-05) Thompson, Rebecca Leigh; Arias, Arturo, 1950-; Polit, Gabriela; Rivera-Diaz, Fernando; Carcamo-Huechante, Luis; Tucker, JoshuaThis dissertation is an in-depth investigation of the manner in which Peruvian Andean identities are represented and constructed in Cusqueñan literature after José María Arguedas’s posthumous publication of El zorro de arriba y el zorro de abajo (1971). In this text, fragmented language reconstructs itself in the form of a new community for the future that can be seen as the symbolic “body” of a possible nation, a “utopia under construction.” Peruvian Andean authors after Arguedas echo his perspective on language through their literary production: they pick up the fragments of the Andean past to recreate and reformulate a new Andean identity through language. Subsequently, they transform their perceived marginality into the “new center” of Peruvian contemporary identity by positing choledad (a term originating in the Colonial era used to negatively denote a person’s Andean or indigenous characteristics) as a defining trait of all Peruvians.Item In the midst of life : a concertino for guitar and chamber orchestra(2014-05) Kesikli, Egemen, 1989-; Grantham, Donald, 1947-In the Midst of Life is a highly-virtuosic concertino for solo guitarist and chamber orchestra.
