This book was released on 2006 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A partir de la formulación de Goethe en las primeras décadas del siglo XIX, el concepto de "literatura mundial" ha constituido una propuesta a partir de la cual se han articulado disciplinas como la filología, la historiografía y la literatura comparada. En años recientes, las investigaciones de Franco Moretti y Pascale Casanova han puesto de nuevo el tema en el centro del debate. Ambos elaboran teorías que reformulan, de manera a veces radical, el objecto geoliterario de la literatura comparada. Los artículos del presente volumen plantean una respuesta a estos retos crítico-teóricos desde América Latina, evaluando sus contribuciones a la lectura de la producción literaria regional desde el paradigma de la "literatura mundial". Asimismo, estos estudios plantean críticas alternativas a las limitaciones de modelos como la "república mundial de las letras" de Casanova y a metodologías basadas en instrumentos como las "gráficas, mapas y árboles" de Moretti. De esta manera algunas de las figuras señeras de los estudios literarios y culturales latinoamericanos se preguntan por la legitimidad de este nuevo modelo interpretativo y por sus implicaciones ideológicas y epistemológicas para el caso de América Latina.' Ignacio M. Sánchez Prado 'Since the first decades of the 19th century, Goethe's concept of 'world literature' has constituted a key approach to further disciplines such as philology, historiography and comparative literature. In recent years, the research conducted by Franco Moretti and Pascale Casanova has once again put this topic at the center of the debate. Both elaborate theories that reformulate, sometimes radically, the geoliterary object of comparative literature. The articles in this volume propose a response to these critical-theoretical challenges from Latin America, evaluating their contributions to the reading of regional literary production from the paradigm of 'world literature'. Additionally, these studies propose alternative critiques to the limitations of models such as Casanova's the 'world republic of literature' and to methodologies based on instruments such as Moretti's 'graphs, maps and trees'. In this way, some of the leading figures of Latin American literary and cultural studies question the legitimacy of this new interpretative model and its ideological and epistemological implications for the case of Latin America.'

Download or read book Comparative Cultural Studies and Latin America written by Sophia A. McClennen and published by Purdue University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The genesis of Comparative Cultural Studies and Latin America stems from the contributors' conviction that, given its vitality and excellence, Latin American literature deserves a more prominent place in comparative literature publications, curricula, and disciplinary discussions. The editors introduce the volume by first arguing that there still exists, in some quarters, a lingering bias against literature written in Spanish and Portuguese. Secondly, the authors assert that by embracing Latin American literature and culture more enthusiastically, comparative literature would find itself reinvigorated, placed into productive discourse with a host of issues, languages, literatures, and cultures that have too long been paid scant academic attention. Following an introduction by the editors, the volume contains papers by Gene H. Bell-Villada on the question of canon, by Gordon Brotherston and Lúcia de Sá on the First Peoples of the Americas and their literature, by Elizabeth Coonrod Martínez on the Latin American novel of the 1920s, by Román de la Campa on Latin American Studies, by Earl E. Fitz on Spanish American and Brazilian literature, by Roberto González Echevarría on Latin American and comparative literature, by Sophia A. McClennen on comparative literature and Latin American Studies, by Alberto Moreiras on Borges, by Julio Ortega on the critical debate about Latin American cultural studies, by Christina Marie Tourino on Cuban Americas in New York City, by Mario J. Valdés on the comparative history of literary cultures in Latin America, and by Lois Parkinson Zamora on comparative literature and globalization. The volume also contains a bibliography of scholarship in comparative Latin American culture and literature and biographical abstracts of the contributors to the volume.

Download or read book Modernism written by Astradur Eysteinsson and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2007-10-04 with total page 1059 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The two-volume work Modernism has been awarded the prestigious 2008 MSA Book Prize! Modernism has constituted one of the most prominent fields of literary studies for decades. While it was perhaps temporarily overshadowed by postmodernism, recent years have seen a resurgence of interest in modernism on both sides of the Atlantic. These volumes respond to a need for a collective and multifarious view of literary modernism in various genres, locations, and languages. Asking and responding to a wealth of theoretical, aesthetic, and historical questions, 65 scholars from several countries test the usefulness of the concept of modernism as they probe a variety of contexts, from individual texts to national literatures, from specific critical issues to broad cross-cultural concerns. While the chief emphasis of these volumes is on literary modernism, literature is seen as entering into diverse cultural and social contexts. These range from inter-art conjunctions to philosophical, environmental, urban, and political domains, including issues of race and space, gender and fashion, popular culture and trauma, science and exile, all of which have an urgent bearing on the poetics of modernity.
Download or read book Cartograf a del verbo written by Carlos Contreras Elvira and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El presente volumen es un estudio sobre la ficción fundacional en Hispanoamérica: una mirada al imaginario latinoamericano como herramienta nacionalista, y un análisis de la realidad como suma de ficciones, de la mano de aquellos que mejor han reflexionado sobre su quehacer fundacional. Guiado por la prosa experta y bien hilvanada del autor, el lector recorre y aprehende la creación de un continente que se ha ido forjando mediante la adopción de modelos exportados que el individuo identifica como propios; la asimilación del amor romántico con el patriotismo; el uso dual de la literatura -como búsqueda y manifestación de la realidad- o la construcción androcéntrica de la sociedad a través del romance. Así, este magistral ejercicio de literatura comparada va desvelando las capas que subyacen al concepto de nación: esta, como construcción literaria y la literatura, a su vez, como reflejo del amor; la patria como palimpsesto mil veces reescrito a lo largo de años de derrotas, literatura y romance. Una lectura apasionante y reveladora que nos lleva a coincidir con Pierre Auguste Renoir cuando afirma que «enamorarse es un pésimo conocimiento del pasado. La nación es un pésimo conocimiento de la historia».

Download or read book Reexamining the National Philological Legacy written by Vladimir Biti and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2014-01-02 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Has thinking, working and teaching in terms of national literatures become obsolete in today’s globalized world of hyphenated languages, literatures and cultures? Since the rise of modern European national philologies coincided with the emergence of modern European nation-states, does the dissolution of the latter in the European supranational unity imply the suspension of the former? Or we must, on the contrary, consider the fact that today’s Europe is not only postnational but, in its re-nationalized East-Central-European part, post-multinational as well, i.e., emerging out of the breakdown of the postimperial state formations such as the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia?
Download or read book Re mapping World Literature written by Gesine Müller and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we talk about World Literature if we do not actually examine the world as a whole? Research on World Literature commonly focuses on the dynamics of a western center and a southern periphery, ignoring the fact that numerous literary relationships exist beyond these established constellations of thinking and reading within the Global South. Re-Mapping World Literature suggests a different approach that aims to investigate new navigational tools that extend beyond the known poles and meridians of current literary maps. Using the example of Latin American literatures, this study provides innovative insights into the literary modeling of shared historical experiences, epistemological crosscurrents, and book market processes within the Global South which thus far have received scant attention. The contributions to this volume, from renowned scholars in the fields of World and Latin American literatures, assess travelling aesthetics and genres, processes of translation and circulation of literary works, as well as the complex epistemological entanglements and shared worldviews between Latin America, Africa and Asia. A timely book that embraces highly innovative perspectives, it will be a must-read for all scholars involved in the field of the global dimensions of literature.

Book excerpt: La consideración de América Latina como constituyendo una región de significaciones históricas y culturales comunes, así como la articulación de lo heterogéneo en una estructura global que ha ido integrando históricamente áreas, ha sido desde el comienzo de este trabajo una hipótesis común. En virtud de esta hipótesis hemos hecho presente aquí la expresión de la literatura brasileña a través de la colaboración de sus investigadores, junto a la de Hispanoamérica y la del Caribe, en una perspectiva histórica de la construcción del discurso literario y cultural del continente.
