Описание:
Responding to the pressures of current theoretical trends toward models of cultural globalization, the essays collected here bring a historical focus to literary studies. They suggest that only by exploring the particularities of regional historical cultures can the multiple meanings of American identities be understood. Representing a broad range of contemporary criticism, this volume features many short essays by the most well-known and respected Latin Americanists, each devoting attention to specific matters of history. The topics range from Incan architecture to Chicano and Nuyorican habitats; from turn of the century Argentine criminology to Caribbean homophobia; from the rhetorics of independence and dictatorship to Mexican ambivalence about opera and Brazil’s move beyond monarchy; and from the precarious survival of Spanish language in Latin America to its paradoxical legacy of enlightenment in the Philippines. Originally published as a special issue of Modern Language Quarterly (June 1996), this expanded edition includes a new introduction by Doris Sommer and a new essay by Vincente Rafael. Viewed together, these essays reveal a cultural richness that is sure to interest literary scholars and Latin Americanists alike.

Описание:
Enfrentando la censura y el autoritarismo de la йpoca, durante los aсos 80 Enrique Lihn dejу a un lado su producciуn poйtica para desplegar un conjunto de "proyectos locos", segъn la acertada defi niciуn de Christopher Travis, dando cuenta con ello de una radicalidad ъnica en el marco de la producciуn crнtica e intelectual de esos aсos. La casa que falta aborda, por primera vez, el conjunto de esos materiales desde la concepciуn de un "acto social total", segъn la defi niciуn dada por Lйvi-Strauss para los actos de lenguaje que exigen una interpretaciуn plena. Parodia, burla, provocaciуn y defensa cerrada de la autonomнa del arte transformaron la fi gura de Lihn en un nuevo tipo de hйroe dedicado a desplegar el discurso prohibido de la йpoca, inspirando a las nuevas generaciones que surgirбn con el regreso de la democracia a Chile el mismo aсo de su fallecimiento.
"A la admirable facultad verbal que caracterizу desde muy temprano la poesнa de Enrique Lihn, y que su desplegada producciуn posterior en todos los gйneros no hizo sino corroborar, responde desde este libro la facultad crнtica y expresiva del notable escritor y estudioso que es Roberto Brodsky. El tнtulo del libro de Brodsky, a primera vista algo enigmбtico, revela su plenitud de sentido cuando se completa el riguroso y sugerente recorrido que el autor realiza por la obra llevada a cabo por Enrique Lihn en Chile entre 1978 y 1988, aсo de su muerte, para fundamentar su conclusiуn de que esa incesante y versбtil tarea cumplida por el gran poeta en una sombrнa йpoca de desintegraciуn social, se revela en su totalidad como la acciуn del LEGISLADOR ANУMICO de la escena cultural, es decir, como el doctor y guнa ejemplar mбs infl uyente en su momento. El lector concluye asн que esa conducta propuso defi nitivamente un ejemplo cuya infl uencia permanece y no cesarб. Lo que representу Enrique Lihn en esos aсos es analizado por Roberto Brodsky con un consumado dominio teуrico, que conjuga felizmente la recurrencia a una vasta bibliografнa analнtica con una admirable capacidad expositiva, que la hace accesible para todos sus lectores. Sus formulaciones crнticas y las verifi caciones textuales y contextuales que le confi eren a su investigaciуn tan pleno sentido constituyen, pues, la lecciуn ejemplar de lectura que es este libro."--Pedro Lastra, poeta, ensayista, Profesor Emйrito en SUNY Stony Brook, y Miembro de la Academia Chilena de la Lengua

Описание: This volume explores works from Latin American literary and visual culture that question what it means to be human and examine the ways humans and nonhumans shape one another. In doing so, it provides new perspectives on how the region challenges and adds to global conversations about humanism and the posthuman.
Contributors identify posthumanist themes across a range of different materials, including an anecdote about a plague of rabbits in Historia de las Indias by Spanish historian Bartolomé de las Casas, photography depicting desert landscapes at the site of Brazil's War of Canudos, and digital and installation art portraying victims of state-sponsored and drug violence in Colombia and Mexico. The essays illuminate how these cultural texts broach the limits between life and death, human and animal, technology and the body, and people and the environment. They also show that these works use the category of the human to address issues related to race, gender, inequality, necropolitics, human rights, and the role of the environment.Latin American Culture and the Limits of the Human demonstrates that by focusing on the boundary between the human and nonhuman, writers, artists, and scholars can open up new dimensions to debates about identity and difference, the local and the global, and colonialism and power.
Описание: Latin America's Indigenous writers have long labored under the limits of colonialism, but in the late twentieth and twenty-first centuries, they have constructed a literary corpus that moves them beyond those parameters. Gloria E. Chacon considers the growing number of contemporary Indigenous writers who turn to Maya and Zapotec languages alongside Spanish translations of their work to challenge the tyranny of monolingualism and cultural homogeneity. Chacon argues that these Maya and Zapotec authors reconstruct an Indigenous literary tradition rooted in an Indigenous cosmolectics, a philosophy originally grounded in pre-Columbian sacred conceptions of the cosmos, time, and place, and now expressed in creative writings. More specifically, she attends to Maya and Zapotec literary and cultural forms by theorizing kab'awil as an Indigenous philosophy. Tackling the political and literary implications of this work, Chacon argues that Indigenous writers' use of familiar genres alongside Indigenous language, use of oral traditions, and new representations of selfhood and nation all create space for expressions of cultural and political autonomy.
Chacon recognizes that Indigenous writers draw from universal literary strategies but nevertheless argues that this literature is a vital center for reflecting on Indigenous ways of knowing and as a key artistic expression of decolonization.

This book is in the Cambria Latin American Literatures and Cultures Series headed by Rom n de la Campa, the Edwin B. and Lenore R. Williams Professor of Romance Languages at the University of Pennsylvania.
The objective of this book is not to recognize once again the sources of pre-Hispanic Amerindian or Afro-Hispanic thought in different regions and historical moments--a task that other critics have already accomplished admirably. Nor does this book attempt to return to the debates around the existence of a properly Latin American philosophy--a question that has also been thoroughly addressed. Rather, this book offers timely contributions to the process of conceptualizing a Latin American specificity and its forms of integration in larger contexts, both on the level of thought and the level of political and social praxis. To produce a critical reading of philosophy while also developing a philosophy of criticism is essential in cultures that continue to struggle for the decolonization of both thought and life.
The first part of the book, "Biopower, Coloniality, and Emancipation in Latin America," examines authors and addressses questions from Latin American contexts in dialogue with some of the greatest thinkers of the twentieth century. These texts analyze the contributions of these authors to debates on such topics as the problems of colonialism and coloniality, the critique of modernity, and violence. Discussions of these issues give rise to other questions linked to the notions of freedom, social change, post/trans/modernity, biopolitics, and other topics that are particularly relevant for interpreting the processes of national formation and modernization and for understanding the developments that have taken place in the decades following the end of the Cold War.
The second part of the book, titled "Critico-Philosophical Re-Readings and Debates," brings together texts that cover the work of philosophers whose ideas have strong links to Latin American thought. Benjamin, Foucault, and Bourdieu are all quite different thinkers, but they have in common the objective of deconstructing the discourse of power from different angles, providing forms of social consciousness that are in dialogue with Latin American critical and emancipatory projects on multiple levels. In addition to the above-mentioned philosophical directions, Peter Sloterdijk's undeniably polemical thought opens up a new path for the critique of humanism. These approaches are studied in the present book in texts that constitute moments of critical reflection which, while recognizing these authors' contributions to the development of critico-philosophical thought in peripheral areas, analyze aspects of their thought that can be interrogated and even challenged from a Latin American perspective. In this sense, this book suggests that, from the vantage point of Latin American cultural and political history, European philosophy, in spite of its claims of universality, clearly lacks satisfactory approaches to issues related to post/neo/colonial realities.
With its interdisciplinary focus, this book will be an important resource for scholars and students in Latin American studies, comparative literature, world literature, and philosophy.

Описание: Despite New Spain’s significant participation in the early transatlantic slave trade, the collective imagination of the Mexican nation evolved in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to understand itself as devoid of a black presence. In The Nigrescent Beyond, Ricardo Wilson proposes a framework for understanding this psychic vanishing of blackness and thinks through how it can be used both to productively unsettle contemporary multicultural and postracial discourses within the United States and to further the interrogations of being and blackness within the larger field of black studies. Wilson models a practice of reading that honors the disruptive possibilities offered by an ever-present awareness of that which lies, irretrievable, beyond the horizon of vanishing itself. In doing so, he engages with historical accounts detailing maroon activities in early New Spain, contemporary coverage of the push to make legible Afro-Mexican identities, the electronic archives of the Obama presidency, and the work of Carlos de Sig?enza y G?ngora, Octavio Paz, Ivan Van Sertima, Miguel Covarrubias, Steven Spielberg, and Colson Whitehead, among others.
Описание: Magical Realism and the History of the Emotions in Latin America rethinks the rise and fall of magical realism in Latin America in light of the cultural history of the emotions and in conversation with contemporary theories of affect.
