The study frames Lorca’s poetic strategies as performances that challenge fixed literary structures, linking aesthetic experience to philosophical tensions associated with the Spanish avant-garde. Using an analytical literary-critical approach, the work develops an argument about how surrealist techniques generate meaning by destabilizing conventional boundaries between thought and poetic

It was at that moment—thanks to an inspiring teacher, mentor, and friend, Dr. Greg Stallings—that I first began to think seriously about Spanish literature, poetry, philosophy and the implications of these discourses in my life. I owe the development of these ideas (as well as much of my own intellectual development) to the enthusiastic teaching of Professor Stallings. At one moment when I considered another path, Professor Stallings, echoing Joseph Campbell, urged me to follow my bliss. I like to think that this dissertation it the fruition of some of that bliss. Thanks Greg.  \nThe support at Vanderbilt University has been equally superb. I wish to thank my advisor, Professor Christina Karageorgou-Bastea, who has encouraged mein my efforts from my first day on campus. She has provided a stimulating and rigorous sounding board for my ideas and has met my project with optimism as she has pushed me to refine my analytical skills. This work would not have been possible without her. I am grateful for her close readings of my research, for her counsel and suggestions (which are always extensive), and for her friendship which is equally plentiful.  \nMy committee members have been foundational tomy development as a scholar and have greatly contributed to my education at Vanderbilt. My first contact with Vanderbilt came when Professor Cathy Jrade taught a mini-course on Modernismoat BYU. She has read my work with care and has offered valuable insight as a meticulous literary critic. I also owe a great deal of thanks to Professor Edward Friedman, who has been a wonderful source of  \ncounsel, support, and encouragement ofmy work. His seminars on literary theory and metafiction have been highlights of my course work at Vanderbilt and his professionalism has provided a model for my own development as a scholar. I am grateful to Professor David Wood, whose courses on Heidegger, Derrida, 20th-century philosophy, and Nietzsche have sparked my interest and challenged my intellect. I feel fortunate to have been a part of these courses and to have enjoyed the fresh and at times entertaining insights to the thinking of important intellectuals of the last two centuries. The ethical and aesthetic facets of these philosophies have been important to me both academically and personally. Thanks for helping me see that sometimes the best way forward is found by taking the step back.  \nProfessors William Luis and Carlos Jáuregui have also been valuable sources of friendship and encouragement throughout the writing of this dissertation. I have profited from my association with them during this época de la soledad and thank them for their counsel and support.  \nThe academic and financial support at Vanderbilt has been constant and gracious. Iam indebted to the College of Arts & Science for summer research grants during the summers of 2004 and 2005, and also to the Robert Penn Warren Center for the Humanities for the summer 2006 and full-year 2006-2007 fellowships t","cbCaiuCnuFzT6Ena","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuCnuFzT6Ena","pdf",1408140,258,"English","# Introduction\n# Chapter I - Poetry and Philosophy: Bataillean Surrealism and the Spanish Avant-Garde","[{\"question\":\"What is the dissertation primarily about?\",\"answer\":\"The dissertation investigates how Lorca’s surrealism connects poetry with philosophy, focusing on the idea of “formlessness” and how it is performed in poetic practice.\"},{\"question\":\"Which poet and movement does the work focus on?\",\"answer\":\"It centers on Federico García Lorca’s surrealism and situates the discussion within the Spanish avant-garde.\"},{\"question\":\"How is “formlessness” approached in the study?\",\"answer\":\"The work treats formlessness as a guiding aesthetic and conceptual principle, analyzed through literary-critical reading of Lorca’s poetic and surrealist methods.\"}]","Margins of Poetry - Performing the Formless in Lorca’s Surrealism | PDF",650]
