Abstracto:
Mediante la ficción literaria se puede llegar a conocer mucho de la historia de un país. En este sentido, la literatura de Latino América no es nada diferente. Es decir, la narrativa ficticia refleja las realidades socio-políticas del país en que fueron escritas. Tal es el caso de Hasta no verte Jesús mío (1969), una novela testimonial de Elena Poniatowska que relata la vida de Jesusa Palancares, una soldadera en la Revolución Mexicana (1910-21). Jesusa, la protagonista, se casa con un militar y a su lado ella misma combate en la Revolución durante varios años. Por lo tanto, en este proyecto mi propósito es mostrar cómo esta novela, tanto como otras novelas testimoniales, revela las muchas contribuciones y los obstáculos de la mujer en la Revolución. Mediante el papel representativo de este personaje en la novela, se refleja la simbólica importancia de la mujer en la Revolución.
Abstract:
By mean of fiction and other genres of literature one can learn very much about the history of a country. Such is also the case of literature in Latin America. That is, works of fiction quite often reflect the socio/political realities of the country in which they were written. An example of this is the testimonial novel Here's to You, Jesusa! (1969) by Elena Poniatowska, which tells the story of Jesusa Palancares, a soldadera (female combatant) in the Mexican Revolution of 1910. Jesusa, the protagonist, marries a soldier and by his side she also engages in the revolutionary conflict for several years. Such being the case, the purpose of this Capstone project is to illustrate how this testimonial narrative, as well as others, reveals the many contributions and obstacles of women in the Mexican Revolution. In this light, the representative role of Jesusa Palancares in this novel, mirrors the symbolic importance of women in this Conflict.
