Naipaul comments; 'The truth begins to disappear; it is not \nrelevant to the legend.' In his novel <em>Santa Evita </em>, Tom? s Eloy Mart?\u00c1nez writes 'Little by little Evita began to turn \ninto a story that, before it ended, kindled another.' This dissertation explores the cultural transformations of the figure of Eva Per??n, from \npolitical icon to the object of multiple representations in mass culture, literature and art, 'Evita.' During the 1940s and 50s, the rapid \nspread of radio, cinema, and television allowed Peronism to broadcast its struggle on behalf of the <em>descamisados</em> as a performance in \nwhich Evita was the main performer. This dissertation will show that from her multifaceted character, the popular collective imagination projected an array \nof representations associated with an archive of images of social, religious and gender ideals: Mother of the Nation, Savior of the Poor, Madonna, and \nSaint Evita, among numerous others. As the centerpiece of a corpus of literary and artistic representations, Evita becomes a metaphor of the central \ncontroversy of Argentine identity --what this dissertation labels <em>La Gran Discusi??n</em>--best articulated in Sarmiento's question: \n<em>??Qu1 somos?</em> Sarmiento's attempt to answer that question has been traditionally interpreted as his \ndepicting the forces of \nCivilization and Barbarism as mutually exclusive and as a statement that only one of them would eventually rescue the 'true\" Argentine essence; \nin that tradition, cultural appropriations of the figure of Evita present her as either a deviation from a lost civilized greatness or a liberation from \nthat oppressive dream. This dissertation, however, reads Sarmiento's work itself as an example of the Argentine dilemma because, under the influence \nof Romanticism and his own autodidact's literacy, he also recognized the ineluctable presence of the oral culture of the <em>other</em>, \ntacitly acknowledging that Argentina's destiny rests on recognizing its hybrid identity. Based on this reading of Argentine culture, this dissertation \ndemonstrates that in the breadth of 'Evitas' in mass communication, popular media, literature and the fine arts, every representation of her \ninevitably embodies the convergence of the national polarities, re-enacting <em>La Gran Discusi??n</em>."},{"label":"dcterms.available","value":"2015-04-24T14:47:47Z"},{"label":"dcterms.contributor","value":"P??rez Melgosa, Adri? n"},{"label":"dcterms.creator","value":"Trica-Flores, Silvina"},{"label":"dcterms.dateAccepted","value":"2013-05-24T16:38:18Z"},{"label":"dcterms.dateSubmitted","value":"2013-05-24T16:38:18Z"},{"label":"dcterms.description","value":"Department of Hispanic Languages and Literature"},{"label":"dcterms.extent","value":"363 pg."},{"label":"dcterms.format","value":"Application/PDF"},{"label":"dcterms.identifier","value":"http://hdl.handle.net/11401/71514"},{"label":"dcterms.issued","value":"2012-08-01"},{"label":"dcterms.language","value":"en_US"},{"label":"dcterms.provenance","value":"Made available in DSpace on 2013-05-24T16:38:18Z (GMT).
