Download or read book The Voice of the Masters written by Roberto González Echevarría and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-07-05 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By one of the most original and learned critical voices in Hispanic studies— a timely and ambitious study of authority as theme and authority as authorial strategy in modern Latin American literature. An ideology is implicit in modern Latin American literature, argues Roberto González Echevarría, through which both the literature itself and criticism of it define what Latin American literature is and how it ought to be read. In the works themselves this ideology is constantly subjected to a radical critique, and that critique renders the ideology productive and in a sense is what constitutes the work. In literary criticism, however, too frequently the ideology merely serves as support for an authoritative discourse that seriously misrepresents Latin American literature. In The Voice of the Masters, González Echevarría attempts to uncover the workings of modern Latin American literature by creating a dialogue of texts, a dynamic whole whose parts are seven illuminating essays on seminal texts in the tradition. As he says, "To have written a sustained, expository book ... would have led me to make the same kind of critical error that I attribute to most criticism of Latin American literature.... I would have naively assumed an authoritative voice while attempting a critique of precisely that critical gesture." Instead, major works by Barnet, Cabrera Infante, Carpentier, Cortázar, Fuentes, Gallegos, García Márquez, Roa Bastos, and Rodó are the object of a set of independent deconstructive (and reconstructive) readings. Writing in the tradition of Derrida and de Man, González Echevarría brings to these readings both the penetrative brilliance of the French master and a profound understanding of historical and cultural context. His insightful annotation of Cabrera Infante's "Meta-End," the full text of which is presented at the close of the study, clearly demonstrates these qualities and exemplifies his particular approach to the text.

Download or read book Writing in the Air written by Antonio Cornejo Polar and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1994, Writing in the Air is one of the most significant books of modern Latin American literary and cultural criticism. In this seminal work, the influential Latin American literary critic Antonio Cornejo Polar offers the most extended articulation of his efforts to displace notions of hybridity or "mestizaje" dominant in Latin American cultural studies with the concept of heterogeneity: the persistent interaction of cultural difference that cannot be resolved in synthesis. He reexamines encounters between Spanish and indigenous Andean cultural systems in the New World from the Conquest into the 1980s. Through innovative readings of narratives of conquest and liberation, homogenizing nineteenth- and twentieth-century discourses, and contemporary Andean literature, he rejects the dominance of the written word over oral literature. Cornejo Polar decenters literature as the primary marker of Latin American cultural identity, emphasizing instead the interlacing of multiple narratives that generates the heterogeneity of contemporary Latin American culture.

Download or read book The Postmodernism Debate in Latin America written by John Beverley and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1995-05-05 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Postmodernism may seem a particularly inappropriate term when used in conjunction with a region that is usually thought of as having only recently, and then unevenly, acceded to modernity. Yet in the last several years the concept has risen to the top of the agenda of cultural and political debate in Latin America. This collection explores the Latin American engagement with postmodernism, less to present a regional variant of the concept than to situate it in a transnational framework. Recognizing that postmodernism in Latin America can only inaccurately be thought of as having traveled from an advanced capitalist "center" to arrive at a still dependent neocolonial "periphery," the contributors share the assumption that postmodernism is itself about the dynamics of interaction between local and metropolitan cultures in a global system in which the center-periphery model has begun to break down. These essays examine the ways in which postmodernism not only designates the effects of this transnationalism in Latin America, but also registers the cultural and political impact on an increasingly simultaneous global culture of a Latin America struggling with its own set of postcolonial contingencies, particularly the crisis of its political left, the dominance of neoliberal economic models, and the new challenges and possibilities opened by democratization. With new essays on the dynamics of Brazilian culture, the relationship between postmodernism and Latin American feminism, postmodernism and imperialism, and the implications of postmodernist theory for social policy, as well as the text of the Declaration from the Lacandon Jungle of the Zapatatista National Liberation Army, this expanded edition of boundary 2 will interest not only Latin Americanists, but scholars in all disciplines concerned with theories of the postmodern.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El camino que conduce de la poesía a la literatura pasa por un proceso de diferenciación de un espacio social autónomo destinado a la producción y recepción de obras artísticas y literarias que en España abarca el lapso que va desde la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII hasta la primera mitad del siglo XIX. La reducción semántica del término literatura a un determinado cuerpo de textos que comunican un placer estético, se examina con referencia a un entramado de cambios efectuados en la estructura del campo social de la España de la época. El cuerpo de textos, del cual parte el análisis de los conceptos de poesía y literatura vigentes en el período especificado, lo constituyen escritos poetológicos y obras de consulta lexicográfica.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mexican Literature in Theory is the first book in any language to engage post-independence Mexican literature from the perspective of current debates in literary and cultural theory. It brings together scholars whose work is defined both by their innovations in the study of Mexican literature and by the theoretical sophistication of their scholarship. Mexican Literature in Theory provides the reader with two contributions. First, it is one of the most complete accounts of Mexican literature available, covering both canonical texts as well as the most important works in contemporary production. Second, each one of the essays is in itself an important contribution to the elucidation of specific texts. Scholars and students in fields such as Latin American studies, comparative literature and literary theory will find in this book compelling readings of literature from a theoretical perspective, methodological suggestions as to how to use current theory in the study of literature, and important debates and revisions of major theoretical works through the lens of Mexican literary works.

Download or read book M s all de la Literatura Comparada written by Jesús G. Maestro and published by Jesús G. Maestro. This book was released on 2023-08-25 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Literatura Comparada ha sido una de las disciplinas académicas más tempranamente destruidas por la posmodernidad anglosajona, tras su triunfo en las universidades estadounidenses con posterioridad a la II Guerra Mundial, en que la Anglosfera reemplaza el dominio francés, basado en la historiografía literaria, por el monopolio norteamericano, cuyo centro de gravedad será la teoría de la literatura desarrollada al modo anglosajón. Y ha sido precisamente este modo de ejercer la teoría literaria, el anglosajón, el que, al desembocar en la posmodernidad actual, ha destruido completamente la Literatura Comparada. ¿Por qué? Pues porque al postular el mito de la isovalencia de las culturas, y reducir la literatura a cultura, e imponer la idea delusoria de que todas las literaturas son iguales, entonces, no hay nada que comparar. Metodológicamente, la Literatura Comparada es hoy una actividad investigadora de minorías irreconocidas, o incluso ilegítimas, en el ámbito universitario. Como disciplina, ha desaparecido, o es apenas un arcaísmo pendiente de disolución. Y, sin embargo, la Literatura Comparada es la dimensión más importante de toda investigación literaria y de todo conocimiento relativo a la Teoría de la Literatura, porque representa el más amplio dominio de la interpretación literaria, al superar todo tipo de fronteras espaciales, temporales y estatales. La Literatura Comparada es la máxima y más plena interpretación de la literatura, más allá de la Historia, la geografía y la política. Saber literatura es demostrar que se sabe Literatura Comparada. Es cumplir con una red de relaciones racionales entre lo más selecto de los materiales literarios: tiempos, espacios, naciones… géneros, temas, influencias… genealogías, autores, obras, lectores, intérpretes y transductores… La lista de relaciones y operaciones es interminable, frente a los términos, totalmente acotados en cuatro figuras esenciales y nucleares: autor, obra, lector e intérprete o transductor. El cierre de la Teoría de la Literatura como ciencia categorial ―al igual que toda ciencia― está en sus términos, en el inventario de sus términos, y nunca en sus operaciones ni en sus relaciones. Si las ciencias estuvieran limitadas en sus relaciones y operaciones, automáticamente dejarían de existir como tales ciencias. La Literatura Comparada es la relación racional entre dos o más términos literarios ―autores, obras, lectores e intérpretes―. La figura fundamental es aquí la relación metodológica, una auténtica symploké ― relación racional de términos― de la complejidad literaria, que revela la estructura sistemática de su propia totalidad. El comparatismo es un modelo que procede a partir de términos (autores, obras, etc.) para establecer relaciones entre ellos: Cervantes en Goethe, la Divina commedia en el Romanticismo europeo, el Quijote en la novela del siglo XX, etc. Los términos son limitados, las operaciones y las relaciones entre ellos son infinitas. No sabe de literatura quien no sabe de Literatura Comparada. La posmodernidad está inhabilitada para el ejercicio comparatista. Si todas las literaturas son iguales, no hay nada que comparar. Contra este imperativo nihilista, idealista y estéril, incompatible con la realidad de la literatura, se escribió este libro, en el que se exponen una idea, un concepto y un método de Literatura Comparada, según la Crítica de la razón literaria.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "De carácter polifacético pero aglutinante, el concepto de extran̋amiento es una herramienta muy útil para dar cuenta de la complejidad literaria y su conexión con categorías como las de cretividad, arte, sensibilidad y experiencia estéticas. Este ensayo es sobre todo un viaje, un recorrido filosófico y estético por las teorizaciones del concepto desarrolladas por pensadores y autores tan dispares como Ortega y Gasset, Brecht y Valle-Inclán, insistiendo en la teoria literaria de los formalistas rusos y espcialmente en la figura de Viktor Shklovski, el primer teórico que aplicó el término al estudio de la literatura. Desde las vanguardias de principios del siglo XX al teatro épico de Brecht, del ralato fantástico-cotidiano de Cortázar al esperpento de Valle-Inclán y del grotesco gogoliano al absurdo de Beckett, Ionesco y otros dramaturgos, las expresiones artísticas de este efecto en la literatura han sido muy variadas y prolíficas. Con el propósito de desarrollar una formulación del concepto más actual, se intentarán salvar los obstáculos teóricos y metodológicos que dificultan la tarea de ofrecer una definición omnicomprensiva del procedimiento de extran̋amiento; objetivo de esta obra."--From back cover.

Download or read book Orality Identity and Resistance in Palenque Colombia written by Armin Schwegler and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Located near Cartagena de Indias, Colombia, Palenque is a former Afro-Hispanic maroon community that has recently attracted much national and international attention. The authors of this collection examine Palenque’s linguistic, geographic, and cultural origins from interdisciplinary and theoretically diverse perspectives. Extensive in situ fieldwork and long-term familiarity with the Palenquero community form the basis of the seven essays, all of which are enriched by data from archival and other scholarly works. In this book, linguists, literary scholars, historians, and specialists in cultural and visual studies thereby enter into mutually enriching dialogues about the origins and nature of Palenque’s unique Lengua (local creole) and culture. This rich tapestry of ideas is decidedly international, as its authors are members of academic institutions in the United States, Europe, and Latin America. Orality, Identity, and Resistance in Palenque (Colombia) is an updated translation of Palenque, Colombia: Oralidad, identidad y resistencia, 2012.
