    For the Benefit of the Afflicted?: American Captivity Narratives from Mary Rowlandson to Jessica Lynch
    (Universidad de Vigo, 2019-05-24) Gómez Galisteo, Carmen
    Since Mary Rowlandson’s book was published in 1682, captivity narratives have been extremely popular and successful, becoming a distinctively all-American genre. Over time, captivity narratives have fulfilled different goals, evolving and adapting themselves to the emergence of new formats and new media. Since the apparition of motion pictures, movies dealing with the topic of captivity are numerous, from The Searchers (1956) to the most recent, Captivity (2007). This essay examines the main characteristics of the genre and its evolution from colonial times to present-day America, in order to show how captivity narratives have changed to adjust to contemporary sensibilities. This essay also considers what uses captivity narratives have been put to and how they have changed and been modified to convey ends other than those envisaged by the authors of Puritan captivity narratives.

    Representing native American women in early colonial American writings: Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, Juan Ortiz and John Smith
    (TEAM, 2019) Gómez Galisteo, Carmen
    Most observers of Native Americans during the contact period between Europe and the Americas represented Native American women as monstrous beings posing potential threats to the Europeans’ physical integrity. However, the most well known portrait of Native American women is John Smith’s description of Pocahontas, the Native American princess who, the legend goes, saved Smith from being executed. Transformed into a children’s tale, further popularized by the Disney movie, as well as being the object of innumerable historical studies questioning or asserting the veracity of Smith’s claims, the fact remains that the Smith-Pocahontas story is at the very core of North American culture. Nevertheless, far from being original, John Smith’s story had a precedent in the story of Spaniard Juan Ortiz, a member of the ill-fated Narváez expedition to Florida in 1527. Ortiz, who got lost in America and spent the rest of his life there, was also rescued by a Native American princess from being sacrificed in the course of a Native American ritual, as recounted by the Gentleman of Elvas...

    The Twilight of Vampires: Byronic Heroes and the Evolution of Vampire Fiction in The Vampire Diaries and Twilight
    (Universidad Camilo José Cela, 2017-04-28) Gómez Galisteo, Carmen
    Contemporary teenage vampire fiction has helped revitalize the genre by attracting a new generation of readers. In so doing, some changes have been introduced so as to make the figure of the vampire more appealing to a largely female teenage readership. Coinciding with the tenth anniversary of the publication of Twilight by Stephenie Meyer, this article analyzes how the Twilightseries and the earlier The Vampire Diariesby L. J. Smith update and modernize the Byronic hero on which vampires are largely modeled. It also explores the possible effects of this new characterization on readers’ minds and the alarm it has created.
