Download or read book Writing Off the Hyphen written by Jose L. Torres-Padilla and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2011-12-01 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sixteen essays in Writing Off the Hyphen approach the literature of the Puerto Rican diaspora from current theoretical positions, with provocative and insightful results. The authors analyze how the diasporic experience of Puerto Ricans is played out in the context of class, race, gender, and sexuality and how other themes emerging from postcolonialism and postmodernism come into play. Their critical work also demonstrates an understanding of how the process of migration and the relations between Puerto Rico and the United States complicate notions of cultural and national identity as writers confront their bilingual, bicultural, and transnational realities. The collection has considerable breadth and depth. It covers earlier, undertheorized writers such as Luisa Capetillo, Pedro Juan Labarthe, Bernardo Vega, Pura Belpré, Arturo Schomburg, and Graciany Miranda Archilla. Prominent writers such as Rosario Ferré and Judith Ortiz Cofer are discussed alongside often-neglected writers such as Honolulu-based Rodney Morales and gay writer Manuel Ramos Otero. The essays cover all the genres and demonstrate that current theoretical ideas and approaches create exciting opportunities and possibilities for the study of Puerto Rican diasporic literature.

Download or read book Residues written by Soraya Boudia and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2021-12-31 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Residues offers readers a new approach for conceptualizing the environmental impacts of chemicals production, consumption, disposal, and regulation. Environmental protection regimes tend to be highly segmented according to place, media, substance, and effect; academic scholarship often reflects this same segmented approach. Yet, in chemical substances we encounter phenomena that are at once voluminous and miniscule, singular and ubiquitous, regulated yet unruly. Inspired by recent studies of materiality and infrastructures, we introduce “residual materialism” as a framework for attending to the socio-material properties of chemicals and their world-making powers. Tracking residues through time, space, and understanding helps us see how the past has been built into our present chemical environments and future-oriented regulatory systems, why contaminants seem to always evade control, and why the Anthropocene is as inextricably harnessed to the synthesis of carbon into new molecules as it is driven by carbon’s combustion.

Download or read book White Mountain written by Pablo Ortiz Monasterio and published by Rm. This book was released on 2010 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, an assemblage of photographic pieces, had an uncertain genesis. A contradictory memory of our ancestros, “the ancients”, when they were mountains, the primordial days of the volcano-woman and volcano-man, ana ge of giants that inhabit our imagination ando f geological forces that give a body and face to the Nation. In the center of Mexico it is common to find painted walls, ceramic Ware, calendars, key chains, drums, ashtrays, pony glasses, and a long etcetera of decorative objects bearing depictions of foundational myths, the origins of woman, of man, of the Nation, on ther motley surfaces. At the same time, the forms and styles of all this paraphernalia, the materials employed, the way it is distibuted and made use of, clearly reflect our collective visage. The ancient Mexican codices are fundamental documents in the country’s collective imagination. This book honors that memory.
