Thesis (Ph.D.)--Cornell University, 1998.

This dissertation locates Spanish American orientalism at the intersection of an East/West divide and a North/South one, as each of these binary oppositions in itself is insufficient to explain the relationship between Spanish America and Asia. In the colonial period, Spanish America mediated between Spain and Asia. Since the conquest, Spanish Americans as well as foreigners have, in different contexts, positioned the region as North, South, East, or West.

520 $a This dissertation locates Spanish American orientalism at the intersection of an East/West divide and a North/South one, as each of these binary oppositions in itself is insufficient to explain the relationship between Spanish America and Asia. In the colonial period, Spanish America mediated between Spain and Asia. Since the conquest, Spanish Americans as well as foreigners have, in different contexts, positioned the region as North, South, East, or West.
520 $a I focus on the intersection of Spanish American orientalism with domestic discourses of power and resistance, rather than on its effect in the Orient, where Spanish America lacks power. After placing my readings of specific instances of orientalism in their historical, political, literary, and theoretical contexts, I argue that the Asian woman in Spanish American literature serves as an exemplary Other who helps to define a domestic sense of national identity: the common figures of the Orient-as-woman and the nation-as-woman merge into surprising pictures of the Spanish American nation as Asian woman.
520 $a Chapter one analyzes the legend of Catarina de San Juan, an Asian slave who became a famous mystic in colonial Mexico. Catarina's later reinvention as the foremother of the China Poblana, a nationalist icon, and the evolution of the China Poblana's own image reveal shifting between East and West and changing racial and sexual associations, providing insight into anxieties over Mexican identity. Chapter two examines Madama Sui, a novel by Augusto Roa Bastos, which presents as a symbol of an oppressed nation the figure of Lagrima Gonzalez Yoshimaru Kusugue--a Paraguayan of Japanese descent who becomes a concubine to Paraguay's dictator. Similarly, the Japan represented in Madama Sui is a fantastical construct of what Paraguay might become if it overcomes corruption. Chapter three argues that Reina Roffe's appropriation of a Chinese poem in Monte de Venus transforms the poetic suffering of an Asian woman into an echo of repression in Argentine society. Chapter four analyzes the novel Dogeaters by Jessica Hagedorn, which explores the remnants of Spanish identity in the Philippines even as it critiques both orientalist texts and the concept of woman-as-nation.
