La imagenación de Cervantes: visión y visualización de los cuadros literarios de los capítulos I.28 y II.48 del Quijote

Harper, Heather M.

Abstract Details

2012, Master of Arts, Miami University, Spanish.
The following thesis offers an alternative reading of the text of Don Quijote and the images created therein, not in terms of ekphrastic passages, but rather through the identification of the appropriation of techniques traditionally thought of as pertaining to the plastic arts. Cervantes employs these techniques in order to create literary portraits. This close reading focuses on the description and narration of chapters I.28 and II.48, in which, Cervantes through the translation of artistic techniques into textual representations, controls the reader’s mental visualization of the scenes. The use of various elements of design, such as, line, texture and light combined with perspectivism form textual representations that mimic pictorial representation. The analysis of chapter I.28 focuses on voyeurism and mythology which forms the reader’s vision of Dorotea while that of chapter II.48 deals with the use of caricature and chiaroscuro which serves to sketch the physical identity of Doña Rodríguez.
