Se plantea la teorización sobre el ensayo lírico y la generación de la experiencia estética-hermenéutica, a partir de la aplicación de la ontosemiótica como perspectiva metodológica. Con ello, se analizan las prácticas discursivo-literarias que contienen la metarreflexión que desde la extratextualidad da respuesta a los planteos metaforizados, dado que la autonomía del texto y los desdoblamientos del sujeto enunciador implican estrategias de análisis centradas en el cuadrante referencial autor-texto-lector-contexto. Se analizan teorías sobre el ensayo según Montaigne, Lukács, Adorno y Nicol, hasta proponer el ensayo como balance entre lo objetivo y lo subjetivo trascendente. Abstract A theorization is proposed for the lyric essay and the generation of the aesthetic-hermeneutic experience from the application of ontosemiotics as a methodological perspective. A discussion is presented of discursive-literary practices containing meta-reflection which, from extratextuality, responds to metaphorized approaches that for the autonomy of the text and the splits of the enunciating subject require analytical strategies focusing on the referential quadrant author-text-reader-context. Theories on the essay are reviewed, including those of Montaigne, Lukács, Adorno and Nicol, to propose the essay as a balance between the objective and transcendental subjectivity.

Asian American Identity

Multimedia texts are gaining more footing in the Asian American literary world, especially following Theresa Hak Kyung Cha’s pre-eminent Dictee (1982). While lesser known, Mary-Kim Arnold’s Litany for the Long Moment (2018) is a highly referential lyric essay that employs visual elements, including personal ephemera, to consider the unrelenting complexities of Asian American identity. Analyzing Arnold’s formal intervention into Asian American literature through Francesca Woodman’s photography and Roland Barthes’ photography theory reveals that visual subjects are evasive and unknowable. Paradoxically, memorabilia has the power to rupture linear notions of time and cast into doubt what we know about past and present selves. Arnold’s engagement with the visual also extends to the body, and throughout the text she unsettles hegemonic constructions of gender and racial signification. Ultimately, an analysis of Litany for the Long Moment reveals that visual subjects rupture the concept of a stable self. Throughout this thesis, I draw from the fields of photography, poststructuralism, and critical race studies to argue that visual representation is not a sufficient mode of racial empowerment. Building off of Arnold’s claims about “writing into the rupture,” lack is not a closure, but an opening through which we can interrogate what it means to be a self.

Folklore Studies

In the form of a lyric essay, this chapter interrogates the motives and methods of mainstream folklore scholarship. The author identifies a variety of factors that discourage folklorists from taking more expressive chances in order to understand the specialized style that has come to dominate folklore scholarship. This hyper-professionalization of folkloristic writing has, the author argues, led to what Benjamin Botkin once called “folklorists talking to themselves or folklore in vacuo.” In order to make folklore studies resonate with a broader audience, the author calls for folkloristic writing that is more imaginative and less thesis-driven, writing that invites the curious in rather than excluding them in the name of scholarly prestige.
