Thesis (Ph.D.)--Boston University, 2006.

This dissertation examines the conception of folklore theory that evolved over the course of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and its presence in two novels, Dona Perfecta and Fortunata y Jacinta, by Benito Perez Galdos (1843--1920). Chapter I, "A New Science," demonstrates how the principles regulating philosophical inquiry underwent a series of transformations that resulted in the emancipation of historical study from its theological framework. The new understanding of history in the eighteenth century was mediated by an emerging conception of culture which suggested that pluralism rather than homogeneity characterized civilization.

520 $a This dissertation examines the conception of folklore theory that evolved over the course of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and its presence in two novels, Dona Perfecta and Fortunata y Jacinta, by Benito Perez Galdos (1843--1920). Chapter I, "A New Science," demonstrates how the principles regulating philosophical inquiry underwent a series of transformations that resulted in the emancipation of historical study from its theological framework. The new understanding of history in the eighteenth century was mediated by an emerging conception of culture which suggested that pluralism rather than homogeneity characterized civilization.
520 $a Chapter II, "Folklore Theory in the Nineteenth Century," considers the development of social theory and folklore studies. As Spain underwent a social revolution, folklore served as a mediating system between traditional conservatives and progressive liberals. The chapter shows that Galdos participated in this theorization about folklore through a series of articles that present his notion of a Spain in search of unity and authenticity.
520 $a Chapter III, "Tribal Tensions: Moros y Cristianos in Dona Perfecta," shows how this important novel presents the dangerous dichotomy of traditional and progressive social paradigms. It begins with an apparent unity that breaks down as the characters manifest their diverse ideologies. A deep fear of difference subsists below the outward acceptance of alternate beliefs. As the novel progresses, the social pressure, experienced by the characters to present their ideology as the exclusive and correct one, sets off a process that produces destructive behavior. This social degeneration of inter-group relations is manifest, here, in the evocation of a religious festival---moros y cristianos--with deep cultural and historical roots that will lead to the justification of violence and murder.
520 $a Chapter IV, "The Emergence of the Folk Heroine in Fortunata y Jacinta," depicts the bourgeois characters as advocating and living in a state of uniformity. This seeming social utopia slowly unravels to reveal the bourgeoisie in a socially degenerative state immersed in imitative behavior which dehumanizes the individual. However, as the relation between Jacinta and Fortunata develops, Galdos' account of social degeneration is reversed as diverse elements of society are united without sacrificing individuality.
