Beyond the American century: Walter Lippmann and American grand strategy, 1943-1950

As the United States became a world Power, journalist and intellectual Walter Lippmann feared that it would become its own worst enemy. During and after the Second World War, he tried to steer the country towards coherent statecraft, to define the national interest and the limits of power, and give geopolitical expression to the role of the United States as the core of an Atlantic strategic system. But in response to world war, the Truman Doctrine, and the Korean War, he became pessimistic about the country's ability to conduct strategy effectively. In the prophetic tradition, he believed that a fatal symbiosis between America's growing strength and domestic politics led it towards crisis. Though at times ahistorical, Lippmann's concept of strategy deserves attention for its dialogue between power and identity, for its questioning of “ends” as well as means, and for its focus on the danger of self-defeating behaviour.

A SURVEY OF FRENCH KEYBOARD MUSIC FROM 1880 TO 1950

French music flourished from the last quarter of the nineteenth century into the early twentieth century, especially in the genres of opera and orchestral music. Although French keyboard music enjoyed less popularity, being overshadowed by these predominant genres, prominent impressionist figures Claude Debussy (1862-1918) and Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) . . brought its revival to the French music. Scholars consider Debussy to be a frontrunner of Impressionism, and his influence had a major impact on subsequent composers. As a result of his popularity, other significant works by French composers seem to be overlooked by pianists and audiences and are not as often performed. Because keyboard works by Debussy and Ravel are a popular performance choice among pianists, I was eager to examine music by other French composers. Through my resea,rch, I found many great works that warranted further study and deserve a place in the keyboard repertoire. This recording project contains works by lesser-known French composers written between the years of 1880 and 1950, namely Emmanuel Chabrier (1841-1894), Gabriel-Urbain Faure (1845-1924), Charles Koechlin (1867-1950), Albert Roussel (1869-1937), Erik Satie (1866-1925), Francis Poulenc (1899-1963), Darius Milhaud (1892-1974), Robert Casadesus (1899-1972) and Henri Dutilleux (b.1916). Since piano repertoire is abundant, it is sometimes difficult to create a performance program. Therefore, it frequently becomes the default to choosing familiar repertoire rather than using the opportunity to expand the repertoire. As a pianist, I feel responsible to search for hidden musical treasures with which pianists and audiences alike are not so well acquainted. This recording project explores nine lesser-known French compositions written between 1880 and 1950. I expect this to be an opportunity to introduce both pianists and audiences to outstanding but unfamiliar works by French composers. This dissertation was recorded on two compact discs in Dekelboum Concert Hall at Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center of the University of Maryland. The recordings are archived in the University of Maryland Library.

Narradores ecuatorianos de la década de 1950: poéticas para la lectura de modernidades periféricas (Dossier: Narradores ecuatorianos de la década de 1950)

Estos escritores publicaron entre 1945-1962, y avanzaron mucho más en algunos planteamientos de los narradores del 30. Habiendo asumido su extracción de clase, se preguntaron respecto de su propia identidad, de la problemática del mestizo, de su rol como escritores, del impacto de la incipiente modernidad que desestructuraba la vida cotidiana en sus pueblos y ciudades. Coinciden pues, en lo temático, con los narradores latinoamericanos del período, quienes en lo estético mantuvieron la tensión entre regionalismo y vanguardias, los ecuatorianos se reafirmaron en un realismo que dio espacio al lirismo, aunque también mirando hacia las vanguardias latinoamericanas desde diferentes ángulos. César Dávila Andrade planteó una estética del horror «suprarreal», Ángel F. Rojas manejó modernamente temas emparentados con el regionalismo, Walter Bellolio sintetizó lo mejor de la vanguardia narrativa y la tradición relatística ecuatorianas, Alfonso Cuesta y Cuesta configuró una estética de las metáforas iluminadoras, y Arturo Montesinos trabajó con la metáfora de la ruptura que trae toda modernidad, por más periférica e incipiente que pueda parecer.

Narradores ecuatorianos de la década de 1950: poéticas para la lectura de modernidades periféricas

Los escritores de la década del 50 no constituyen un grupo orgánico ni numeroso. Provienen de Cuenca, Loja y Guayaquil, y publicaron las obras que los relacionan entre 1945 y 1962, aproximadamente. Los nombres más representativos son: César Dávila Andrade, Alfonso Cuesta y Cuesta, Arturo Montesinos Malo, Mary Corylé, Pedro Jorge Vera, Rafael Díaz Ycaza, Eugenia Viteri, Walter Bellolio, Alsino Ramírez, y Alejandro Carrión. Propongo y sustento la inclusión de Ángel F. Rojas en este grupo: su búsqueda estética y su temática amplia dialogan de mejor manera con los narradores del 50 que con los del 30. No cultivan una estética común que los identifique, aunque todos parten de un realismo más abierto que el de los del 30, que da espacio al lirismo, a la exploración de subjetividades que se enfrentan a la re-configuración de los espacios sociales en Quito o Guayaquil (crecidas, excluyentes); o en plan de desentrañar el sentido de la modernidad que trastoca de manera radical sus ciudades pequeñas y sus pueblos (revelando sus contradicciones, sus promesas falsas, fragmentando las subjetividades de los individuos, incluida la del escritor). Se preguntaron, además, sobre el sentido y los alcances de los aprendizajes de la modernidad en la Gran Ciudad, y sobre la modificación del rol del escritor en ese contexto, en este país pequeño. En la búsqueda de formas de narrar estas nuevas realidades, cuatro de ellos aportaron con verdaderas poéticas, plenamente renovadas. Son las obras más representativas del período: las producciones cuentísticas de César Dávila Andrade, Ángel F. Rojas y Walter Bellolio, Arcilla indócil y las novelas El éxodo de Yangana, Los hijos, Segunda vida y El chulla Romero y Flores (esta última no abordada en el presente trabajo por exceder los límites de espacio requeridos).
