    Britain’s Terra Nullius: A Historical and Cultural Study of Aboriginal Australia through Sally Morgan’s My Place and Robert Hughes’ The Fatal Shore
    (Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (España). Facultad de Filología. Departamento de Filologías Extranjeras y sus Lingüísticas, 2021-06-01) Press, Imogen; Guerrero Llorente, Isabel
    This dissertation presents a historical and cultural study of Aboriginal Australia through the literary analysis of the novels My Place (1987) by Sally Morgan and The Fatal Shore (1986) by Robert Hughes. The use of a postcolonial methodology in analysing the literary works gives new meaning to the texts as the historical context of British colonialism is acknowledged. The methodology also highlights the existence of colonial discourse in literature. A comparative and contrastive analysis for the representation of Aboriginal Australians in both novels shows there is no fixed form of identity or portrayal. A historical and cultural study of Aboriginal Australia, thus, demonstrates the importance of Aboriginal Australians because of their role in shaping the history and culture of Australia, as we know it today.

    Feminism, literature and theatre: Jane Eyre and Little Women on the stage
    (Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (España). Facultad de Filología. Departamento de Filologías Extranjeras y sus Lingüísticas, 2022-06-01) Iglesias Manrique, Irene; Guerrero Llorente, Isabel
    The influence of feminism not only on the literary classics but also on the theatre of the English-speaking countries has been widely studied by a high number of critics since the emergence of the literary criticism and the literary theory in the 20th century. The way theatre adaptations are conceived out of other literary works (like novels) is also a considerable topic in the field of literary research, which is closely linked to the theory of theatre and performance. Little Women and Jane Eyre are two feminist literary classics of the Anglo-Saxon literature that have been adapted to the stage in countless occasions. One of the main objects of this essay is the exploration of how two stage adapters of these novels, Marian de Forest for Little Women and Jay Richards for Jane Eyre, have shaped their works. That is, to what extent they have included the feminist approach of the original authors, as well as the reasons behind their choice.

    Latin Female Writers in the American Southwest. The Pride of Travelling to the Roots: Resistance and Experiences
    (Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (España). Facultad de Filología. Departamento de Filologías Extranjeras y sus Lingüísticas, 2021-06) Cuartero Arina, Raquel; Guerrero Llorente, Isabel
    This TFG discusses the main challenges that Latin and Chicano population living in the southwest of the United States have been facing since this territory became part of the States through an analysis of the main works by three female authors with Latin ascent: Gloria Alzandúa (1987), Kali Fajardo-Anstine (2019) and Yessika Salgado (2017, 2018 and 2019). These female writers feel pride of their roots against an Anglo predominant culture and share similar concerns and experiences in their writings that are developed in the different sections of the paper: issues related to historical events, such as the change of borders between the United States and Mexico, the language issues and the migratory movements; the discrimination due to race because being mixed raced or Latin; the patriarchal society that relegates women to a domestic role; and the situation of social and economic instability derived from belonging to a low class. The three authors explain their concerns about historical changes, race, gender and class, and confront them vindicating their origin with dignity and pride.

    Same-Sex Marriage Legislation in the United States and Television Series: An Analysis of "Glee"
    (Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (España). Facultad de Filología. Departamento de Filologías Extranjeras y sus Lingüísticas, 2019) Amengual Servera, Mateu Fèlix; Guerrero Llorente, Isabel
    Same-sex marriage was legalized in the United States in 2015 as a consequence of a shift in the public opinion regarding its acceptance. This shift coincided with the emergence of television series with LGBT characters in leading roles. The objective of this project is to examine the positive effect that one of these series, Glee, might have had in that legalization. For this purpose, the most relevant theoretical approaches, such as those based in the contact hypothesis or the parasocial interaction theory, have been analyzed. This analysis has led to the conclusion that there is an agreement on the beneficial effects of televised depictions of homosexual characters, albeit recognizing that this exposure is not the only factor responsible for the shift in public opinion.
