Описание: Guerrero focuses on a selection of Mexican historical novels that are particularly revealing of literary trends during the last three decades. The study addresses the balancing act of Mexican writers as they trace a national identity in the face of globalization and respond to modernization on their own terms.
The literary archive of the U.S.-Mexican War (1846–1848) opens to view the conflicts and relationships across one of the most contested borders in the Americas. Most studies of this literature focus on the war's nineteenth-century moment of national expansion. In The Literatures of the U.S.-Mexican War, Jaime Javier Rodríguez brings the discussion forward to our own moment by charting a new path into the legacies of a military conflict embedded in the cultural cores of both nations.
Rodríguez's groundbreaking study moves beyond the terms of Manifest Destiny to ask a fundamental question: How do the war's literary expressions shape contemporary tensions and exchanges among Anglo Americans, Mexicans, and Mexican Americans. By probing the war's traumas, anxieties, and consequences with a fresh attention to narrative, Rodríguez shows us the relevance of the U.S.-Mexican War to our own era of demographic and cultural change. Reading across dime novels, frontline battle accounts, Mexican American writings and a wide range of other popular discourse about the war, Rodríguez reveals how historical awareness itself lies at the center of contemporary cultural fears of a Mexican "invasion," and how the displacements caused by the war set key terms for the ways Mexican Americans in subsequent generations would come to understand their own identities. Further, this is also the first major comparative study that analyzes key Mexican war texts and their impact on Mexico's national identity.

Описание:
This book offers a wide selection of carefully selected studies examining some of the most compelling issues, which have been explored in the area of literary translation. The contributions were authored by an international group of scholars who focused on the recent developments in the field, encompassing the complex aspects of cultural transfer; translation of stylistic devices; and the importance of convention and ideology. However, the most distinctive feature of this book is that it offers a multifaceted view of the condition of the contemporary national identities and its linguistic transfer from different perspectives within various source language/target language pairs.
Описание: In this first ever monograph on Jacques Derrida’s ‘Toledo confession’ – where he portrayed himself as ‘sort of a Marrano of the French Catholic culture’ – Agata Bielik-Robson shows Derrida’s marranismo to be a literary experiment of auto-fiction. She looks at all possible aspects of Derrida’s Marrano identification in order to demonstrate that it ultimately constitutes a trope of non-identitarian evasion that permeates all his works: just as Marranos cannot be characterized as either Jewish or Christian, so is Derrida’s ‘universal Marranism’ an invitation to think philosophically, politically and – last but not least – metaphysically without rigid categories of identity and belonging.By concentrating on Derrida’s deliberate choice of marranismo, Bielik-Robson shows that it penetrates deep into the very core of his late thinking, constantly drawing on the literary works of Kafka, Celan, Joyce, Cixous and Valery, and throws a new light on his early works, most of all: Of Grammatology, Dissemination and 'Differance'. She also offers a completely new interpretation of many of Derrida’s works only seemingly non-related to the Marrano issue, like Glas, Given Time: Counterfeit Money, Death Penalty Seminar, and Specters of Marx. In these new readings, this book demonstrates that the Marrano Derrida is not a marginal auto-biographical figure overshadowed by Derrida the Philosopher: it is one and the same thinker who discovered marranismo as a literary trope of openness, offering up a new genre of philosophical story-telling which centers around Derrida’s Marrano ‘auto-fable’.
