La Fiesta del Chivo is a story novel that portrays the Trujillo dictatorship in the Dominican Republic . Dictatorships have unfortunately been a constant feature in our continent This phenomenon also called Latin American caudillo has permeated the history of blood and violation of human rights . Usually of a dictatorship it is usually the result of a process of profound social upheaval and typically occurs through a military move against the power structures previously established movement that takes the form of coup. Terror and fascination of all Dominicans Trujillo and the facade of legality which is constructed to maintain an image of "democracy" against other states are observed in the novel , which is closely related to the question of the " crisis of sovereignty."

En la República Dominicana las formas e ideas artísticas contemporáneas tuvieron que esperar tanto al arribo de los refugiados europeos tras los devastadores conflictos mundiales de finales de los años treinta, como a las idas y venidas de algunos artistas dominicanos para ser asimiladas. Sin duda, un proceso de asimilación tardía que produjo un carácter endémico singular en su medio cultural. Así, dentro de una de las dictaduras más terribles que ha soportado América, la evolución del arte corrió paralela a los sucesos políticos y sociales más trágicos, orientándose, a grandes rasgos, de dos maneras diferentes: por un lado, a través de la vía puramente estética, la que al parecer desembocó en la abstracción (de la que creemos se acierta por vez primera su origen); por otro, de la simbólica, la que acogiéndose a la tradicional figuración empleó herramientas de insubordinación y de protesta como sutil desahogo. Asimismo, a pesar de prolongarse el trujillato hasta 1961, fecha del tiranicidio, acotamos la franja temporal de estudio por motivos de extensión.AbstractContemporary artistic forms and ideas had to wait in the Dominican Republic both up to the arrival of the European refugees after the devastating global conflicts in the late thirties as well as to the return of some Dominican artists to be assimilated. Without a doubt, this process of late assimilation produced a regional and special characteristic in its cultural environment. In this way, within one of the most dreadful dictatorships borne in America, the evolution of art ran in parallel to the most tragic political and social events, orienting itself, in general, in two different ways: on the one hand, through the purely aesthetic one, that apparently ended in abstraction (from which moreover we think its origin is guessed for the first time); on the other hand, through the symbolic one, the one that via traditional figurative art used insubordination and protest tools as a subtle relief. Additionally, in spite of being extended the Trujillato until 1961, the date of the tyrannicide, we delimit the chronology of the study because of the extension of the text.

Resumen: Este artículo analiza los Juegos Interantillanos realizados en Ciudad Trujillo (Santo Domingo) en 1944. Dicha competencia fue parte de las celebraciones oficiales del centenario de la República Dominicana y participaron los tres países hispano-Caribeños: Cuba, Puerto Rico y la República Dominicana. Entre los objetivos de los Juegos se contaba fomentar la fraternidad en el Caribe hispano. Sin embargo, el mensaje de paz y hermandad que el discurso oficial de los Juegos promovía contrasta con la dictadura del General Rafael Leonidas Trujillo. El argumento de este estudio es que los Juegos Interantillanos sirvieron como una herramienta al servicio de la hegemonía dictatorial y complementaba la brutal represión del trujillato. Estos Juegos también contribuyeron a reforzar la identidad de la República Dominicana como una nación hispano-Caribeña, diferente y superior de sus vecinos no-hispanohablantes, especialmente en comparación a Haití.Palabras clave: Juegos Interantillanos, Movimiento Olímpico, República Dominicana, Rafael Leonidas Trujillo, Solidaridad, Centenario.Abstract: This project analyzes the Inter-Antillean Games held in Ciudad Trujillo (Santo Domingo) in 1944. That tournament was part of the official celebrations of the Dominican Republic’s Centennial celebrations and featured the three Spanish speaking Caribbean countries: Dominican Republic, Cuba, and Puerto Rico. Among the Games’ objectives was fostering Spanish Caribbean confraternity and goodwill. However, the Games’ message of peace and goodwill that the official discourse promoted contrasts with the dictatorship of General Rafael Leonidas Trujillo. This article argues that the Inter-Antillean Games served as another hegemonic tool of the regime and complemented the trujillato’s brutal repression. It also served as a way to further establish the Dominican Republic as a “Spanish” Caribbean nation, different and better than their nonHispanic Caribbean neighbor, especially to Haiti.Keywords: Inter-Antillean Games, Olympic Movement, Dominican Republic, Rafael Leonidas Trujillo, Solidarity, Centenary.

La storia della Repubblica Dominicana è stata tristemente costellata, fin dalle origini, da un susseguirsi di sanguinose lotte, invasioni, guerre, feroci dittature, occupazioni militari e violente calamità naturali. Tuttavia, l’Era di Trujillo è ricordata dal popolo dominicano come il periodo più penoso e buio, che ha profondamente marcato il suo passato e la cui essenza si trascina silenziosa nel suo presente. Rafael Leonidas Trujillo Molina, pur essendo solo l’ultimo dei tiranni che hanno oppresso il popolo quisqueyano, è riconosciuto come uno dei dittatori più spietati dell’America Latina. Il suo diabolico carisma, accompagnato dalla crudeltà delle sue azioni, ha lasciato una traccia indelebile nell’identità e nell’animo della sua gente, diventando un’ispirazione letteraria che ha saputo dare vita, valicando anche i confini dell’isola, alla novela del trujillato. La presente ricerca si concentrerà sull’evoluzione della novela del trujillato e del personaggio letterario di Trujillo nel contesto dominicano e all’interno dei romanzi scritti da autori stranieri come Galíndez di Manuel Vázquez Montalbán, En el tiempo de las mariposas di Julia Álvarez, La Fiesta del Chivo di Mario Vargas Llosa e La breve y maravillosa vida de Óscar Wao di Junot Díaz.
The history of the Dominican Republic is cluttered with a string of bloody fights, invasions, wars, cruel dictatorships, military occupations and aggressive natural disasters. Nevertheless the Dominicans remember the ‘Trujillo’s Era’ as the darkest and more sorrowful period, that has deeply scarred their past and whose essence silently drags on in their present. Rafael Leonidas Trujillo Molina is only the last dictator who has oppressed the Dominican people, but he is known as one of the most vicious and ruthless dictators that have plagued Latin America. His diabolic charisma and his cruel actions have indelibly marked the identity and the soul of his people, becoming a literary inspiration that could cross the island’s confines and give rise to the novela del trujillato. This thesis aims to analyze the evolution of the novela del trujillato and the character of Trujillo both in the Dominican context and in the novels, written by foreign authors, Galíndez by Manuel Vázquez Montalbán, En el tiempo de las mariposas by Julia Álvarez, La Fiesta del Chivo by Mario Vargas Llosa and La breve y maravillosa vida de Óscar Wao by Junot Díaz.
