Abstract: We need to understand and practice time as fully incorporated, as nowhere existing outside of bodies and their pleasures.Fashionably elegant and showing off the opulence of her oligarchic upbringing in her portraiture, Peruvian modernist writer Zoila Aurora Cáceres (1877–1958) possessed the keen awareness that she was on the cusp of a new world of modern visuality. Taking pride in being à la mode, she methodically collected the articles and photographs of herself that appeared in the social pages of magazines; her literary persona had become fused with her image in her personal album. As Luis Bonafoux explains in his prologue to Mujeres de ayer y de hoy (vii), her family’s privileged position and her own talent as ... Read More PubDate: 2022-05-15T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: Romance 21 “Después de estimar mi amor” is significant for recovering Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz’s musical inheritance. Alongside works like Loa 384 “Encomiástico poema a los años de la Excelentísima Señora Condesa de Galve,” the piece elaborates one of the most complete pictures of the poet’s engagement with early modern music theory and philosophy. In the opening lines, the lyric narrator begs pardon of her patron María for failing to send a musical treatise that she requested (the Caracol). With characteristic false modesty, Sor Juana explains that the rules of music were too complex to complete the task: Despite the irony that persists throughout the work, Sor Juana’s knowledge of music is, in fact, quite ...

Abstract: The rise of political movements across North and South America, like #BlackLivesMatter and #vidasnegrasimportam, gives an immediacy to the tales of Black lives.1 Recent scholarship has examined the growing presence of Black political subjectivity and the shift from symbolic recognition in national projects for asserting the importance of legal, economic, and cultural presence (Dixon and Johnson; Paschel; Rahier). These political movements accentuate the need to tell stories that encompass the multifaceted narratives of Black peoples in the hemisphere by recognizing that, for far too long, Black people have been either erased in national psyches or essentialized into narratives that are not of their own making. ...

Abstract: Es conocida la admiración de Miguel de Unamuno por los llamados “Altos Románticos” ingleses, especialmente por el “dulcísimo [William] Wordsworth” y por “aquél maravilloso [Samuel Taylor] Coleridge” (Obras 3: 771, 4: 586). Si el papel de la imaginación crea-dora y el organicismo romántico en la obra de Unamuno se han relacionado con la obra de Coleridge, la idea de la naturaleza como fuente de saber, júbilo y paz, así como la figura del “momento revelador”—un instante inacabado en que lo ordinario se torna extraordinario—están, como veremos, relacionados con la obra poética de Wordsworth1. La crítica sobre la primera novela del autor, Paz en la guerra (1897), analiza su última escena, en la que se describe una ... Read More PubDate: 2022-05-15T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: Cinco días antes de terminar su segundo gobierno, el presidente de Colombia Juan Manuel Santos (2010–18) estrecha la mano de Luis Gilberto Murillo, el entonces ministro de medio ambiente. A su alrededor hay una numerosa comisión de líderes del Chocó y de Baranoa, reunidos en el Palacio de Nariño para presenciar la develación del nuevo retrato al óleo de Juan José Nieto Gil, el único presidente afrocolombiano del país (1861) y el autor de la primera novela colombiana (Amis; Arango Ferrer; Curcio Altamar; Zapata Olivella). Su primer retrato fue enviado a París en el siglo XIX para que le aclararan el tono de piel; pero, doscientos años después, Santos solicitó uno que reflejara su auténtica tonalidad. La sonrisa ...

Abstract: Early in Archivo (2015), Jorge E. Lage uses the image of a hard drive, a portable memory storage device, as a metaphor for the novel’s own narrative discontinuity: he presents the story as a random collection of bits of information, or data, contained on a hard drive. The narrator has compiled this data for a book project about Cuban Seguridad de Estado. These fragments, portrayed as files, tell the stories of citizens’ experiences with contemporary technological practices in Cuba. The centrality of the hard drive in the novel represents Cuba’s digital economy of el paquete, which consists of a hard drive containing up to one terabyte of different media—such as US television shows, or online websites and ...

Abstract: Puerto Rico me invitó a salir de España en plena guerra de 1936, cuando yo no pensaba ya en nada y empezaba a entregarme inconscientemente a los hechos. . . .El 29 de septiembre de 1936, algo más de dos meses después de haberse iniciado la guerra civil española, desembarcan en San Juan de Puerto Rico dos ilustres visitantes: Juan Ramón Jiménez y su esposa, Zenobia Camprubí. Habían llegado a la isla invitados de manera providencial por el Departamento de Instrucción Pública de la Administración insular (Sanz Manzano 65). El 19 de agosto del 36, cuando la situación en España se agravaba por momentos, el escritor, acompañado por Cipriano Rivas Cherif, se entrevistó con el presidente de la República, Manuel Azaña, en ...

Abstract: What do we talk about when we talk about literature' Even to pose the question suggests that we must somehow end up talking about something other than literature—something that is both more and less than literature. It is less than literature in that, surely, talking about a book is no substitute for reading it. But it is more than literature in that such talk adds to the experience of reading, and enables connections not only to other books but also to other domains: memory, history, politics, philosophy, and so on. Here we encounter both the pitfall and the potential of literary criticism or literary theory (two ways of talking about literature): that they are dependent on, subordinate to, literary texts, at the ...

Abstract: Que los restos del franquismo quedasen manifiestamente expuestos, como la evidencia cruda de un cuerpo desparramado por el suelo desde un ataúd al que el tiempo ha vencido. Esa es la metáfora que se acaricia al comienzo de este libro y que se instala como un anhelo o aspiración. Pero la simbólica imagen, con algo de ensoñación excitante, se frustra desde las primeras palabras: “If it hadn’t been for a couple of straps and last-minute screws . . .” (1). Durante su exhumación, el 24 de octubre 2019, el cadáver del dictador se mantuvo discretamente dentro de su sarcófago, participando invisible de la solemnidad, la pompa y la polémica de aquel momento histórico que dispara el trabajo de Sebastiaan Faber, dándole su ...

Abstract: In this illuminating book, Daniel Aguirre Oteiza makes a compelling case for the power of poetic texts written by Spanish Republican exiles to unsettle the narrative of national literary history into which they have been incorporated—under the guise of recovery—since shortly after the end of the Spanish Civil War. This Ghostly Poetry offers a much-needed redress of the effort to recuperate several well-known poets and canonize them within a Spanish literary tradition centered firmly in the Iberian Peninsula and in the Castilian language, with little acknowledgment of the spatiotemporal discontinuities that accompany geographical displacement and define exilic writing. The book builds productively on the work of ... Read More PubDate: 2022-05-15T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: La abundancia de las lecturas críticas que se han realizado de Vallejo a lo largo de los siglos XX y XXI indica, por un lado, que su poesía no parece nunca explicada del todo y, por otro, que los y las lectoras necesitamos una y otra vez volver al peruano, constatar que, efectivamente, hay siempre algo que se nos escapa. De este modo, cualquier acercamiento teórico es bienvenido, pues suma nuevas perspectivas, nuevas posibilidades de atisbar, acaso, una mínima comprensión de por qué esta poesía nos perfora en lo más hondo.El libro de Víctor Vich tiene el valor de ofrecer una lectura de Vallejo desde enfoques teóricos muy contemporáneos que dan luz nueva a su poesía. El autor parte del concepto de acontecimiento ... Read More PubDate: 2022-05-15T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: Geographies of Urban Female Labor is a well-researched, theoretically interdisciplinary study of cultural representations of Spanish urban working women, particularly as such representations relate to dominant nation-building discourses, in a range of theatrical, literary, and filmic texts produced between 1880 and 1975. Through a comprehensive examination of works by familiar authors such as Benito Pérez Galdós, Emilia Pardo Bazán, Ramón Gómez de la Serna, and Carmen Martín Gaite, in addition to lesser-studied authors like Luisa Carnés and Ángeles Villarta, the book explores the intersections between female work, national identity, and the economy, and, in doing so, reveals an “urban geography of social ...

Abstract: In her introduction to Caribbean Migration. The Legacies of Colonialism, editor Anke Birkenmaier writes, “[m]igration may be considered a fact of life in the Caribbean and globally” (214). This sentence summarizes the impulse behind this ambitious, necessary book. Here, Birkenmaier makes a compelling point about the relevance of the Caribbean to the field of migration studies. Tracing migration to and from the Caribbean back to European colonialism and the development of capitalism, she notes that the Caribbean experience was always one of constant, successive flows of migrants that, starting in the nineteenth century, moved mostly from the islands to the very centers of the empires that colonized them, as well as ...

Abstract: March 24, 2021, was the 45th anniversary of the coup d’état that ended the presidency of Isabel Martínez de Perón and unleashed a wave of repression in Argentina. Since then, a vast corpus of literature has emerged about the literary representation of the dictatorship, the role of memory and trauma in Argentine fiction, and the ways in which art and human rights coalesce to give voices to those who have disappeared. Karen Bishop’s The State of Disappearance focuses on “disappearance as a body of work” to examine works by canonical twentieth-century Argentine authors, such as Rodolfo Walsh (1927–77), Julio Cortázar (1914–84), and Tomás Eloy Martínez (1934–2010) (3). This study joins a body of monographs that examine ... Read More PubDate: 2022-05-15T00:00:00-05:00

Abstract: The Business of Conquest es una sobresaliente investigación en torno a tres asuntos que se intersecan en el proceso histórico que significó la Conquista y la instauración del orden colonial en el Nuevo Mundo: por un lado, el imperio como concepto jurídico y político; por otro, el amor en su doble sentido de caritas y cupiditas, que provoca una tensión permanente en los discursos sobre la colonización; además, la ley, que pretende intervenir en la realidad, abarcarla, dominarla y darle forma. Estos tres temas se subsumen en un enfoque de la Conquista como negocio, ahondando en las implicancias empresariales que tenía el oficio de conquistador: las exploraciones en los nuevos territorios eran iniciativas privadas, en ...

Abstract: María Fernanda Alle focuses on the communist years of Argentinean writer Raúl González Tuñón, an author who, for decades, remained understudied, and has recently received critical attention due to the versatility of his poetry and prose, as well as to his long-lasting aesthetic and political engagement. Una poética de la convocatoria centers on González Tuñón’s literary production between 1930 and 1970. A writer who embraced with similar enthusiasm the two main literary styles of his period—social realism and the avant-garde—González Tuñón’s style evolved during the period considered by Alle. In addition to an excellent work of documentation and reconstruction of the author’s oeuvre, María Fernanda Alle provides a ... Read More PubDate: 2022-05-15T00:00:00-05:00
