Download or read book Roberto Bola o s Fiction written by Chris Andrews and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-29 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the publication of The Savage Detectives in 2007, the work of Roberto Bolaño (1953–2003) has achieved an acclaim rarely enjoyed by literature in translation. Chris Andrews, a leading translator of Bolaño's work into English, explores the singular achievements of the author's oeuvre, engaging with its distinct style and key thematic concerns, incorporating his novels and stories into the larger history of Latin American and global literary fiction. Andrews provides new readings and interpretations of Bolaño's novels, including 2666, The Savage Detectives, and By Night in Chile, while at the same time examining the ideas and narrative strategies that unify his work. He begins with a consideration of the reception of Bolaño's fiction in English translation, examining the reasons behind its popularity. Subsequent chapters explore aspects of Bolaño's fictional universe and the political, ethical, and aesthetic values that shape it. Bolaño emerges as the inventor of a prodigiously effective "fiction-making system," a subtle handler of suspense, a chronicler of aimlessness, a celebrator of courage, an anatomist of evil, and a proponent of youthful openness. Written in a clear and engaging style, Roberto Bolano's Fiction offers an invaluable understanding of one of the most important authors of the last thirty years.

Download or read book La desilusi n de la imagen written by Víctor Silva Echeto and published by Editorial GEDISA. This book was released on 2016-11 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La desilusión de la imagen. Arqueología, cuerpo(s) y mirada(s), plantea que las imágenes son vínculos entre distintas épocas y culturas, son síntomas e indicios que dejan huellas en el imaginario cultural. Son la elegíaca memoria como musa que deambula por los tiempos pero fuera de los tiempos (genealogía) o, en otros términos, las imágenes son Mnemosyne, es decir, la musa de todas las musas. Una arqueología de la imagen, implica considerar a la imagen desde la intermedialidad (entre-medios), los cuerpos y las miradas. Concebirla desde una crítica de la cultura en una contemporaneidad atravesada por la crisis. La pregunta ¿qué son las imágenes? que se formula desde la debilidad de cierta inocencia de la escritura, adquiere toda su dimensión desde el momento en que se confunde imagen con visualidad o imagen con medios audiovisuales, dejando por el camino todos los restos de imágenes que no son visuales. Aún más, ese debate se torna más complejo, cuando en su trasfondo está la «memoria» del holocausto (o de los holocaustos); las imágenes de la crisis política, económica y social o los miles de refugiados, en la paradigmática imagen de un niño muerto en la playa, deambulando por geografías europeas. La imagen es, en efecto, «nómada», viaja por territorios y culturas. Entonces, la inocencia de la pregunta se transforma en la imagen frágil de los que no tienen imagen. «La propuesta de Víctor Silva Echeto, es una de las mejor articuladas que conozco para pensar posibles alternativas a la situación de impasse a que parece abocarnos el mundo contemporáneo.» JENARO TALENS (escritor).
Download or read book Postmodernism of Resistance in Roberto Bola o s Fiction and Poetry written by J. Agustín Pastén B. and published by University of New Mexico Press. This book was released on 2020 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Postmodernism of Resistance in Roberto Bolaño's Fiction and Poetry examines the ways in which Bolaño employs a type of literary aesthetics that subverts traits traditionally associated with postmodernism. Pastén B. coins these aesthetics "postmodernism of resistance" and argues that this resistance stands in direct opposition to critical discourses that construe the presence of hopeless characters and marginal settings in Bolaño's works as signs of the writer's disillusionment with the political as a consequence of the defeat of the Left in Latin America. Rather, he contends, Bolaño creates a fictional world comprised of characters and situations that paradoxically refuse to accept defeat--even while displaying the scars of terrible historical events. In this work Pastén B. challenges some critical assumptions about Bolaño's fiction and poetry that led to decontextualized interpretations of his work and offers a singularly comprehensive investigation that synthesizes multiple perspectives of a complicated author into one text.

Download or read book Living Ruins written by Philippe Erikson and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2022-10-14 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ruins and remnants of the past are endowed with life, rather than mere relics handed down from previous generations. Living Ruins explores some of the ways Indigenous people relate to the material remains of human activity and provides an informed and critical stance that nuances and contests institutionalized patrimonialization discourse on vestiges of the past in present landscapes. Ten case studies from the Maya region, Amazonia, and the Andes detail and contextualize narratives, rituals, and a range of practices and attitudes toward different kinds of vestiges. The chapters engage with recently debated issues such as regimes of historicity and knowledge, cultural landscapes, conceptions of personhood and ancestrality, artifacts, and materiality. They focus on Indigenous perspectives rather than mainstream narratives such as those mediated by UNESCO, Hollywood, travel agents, and sometimes even academics. The contributions provide critical analyses alongside a multifaceted account of how people relate to the place/time nexus, expanding our understanding of different ontological conceptualizations of the past and their significance in the present. Living Ruins adds to the lively body of work on the invention of tradition, Indigenous claims on their lands and history, “retrospective ethnogenesis,” and neo-Indianism in a world where tourism, NGOs, and Western essentialism are changing Indigenous attitudes and representations. This book is significant to anyone interested in cultural heritage studies, Amerindian spirituality, and Indigenous engagement with archaeological sites in Latin America.

Download or read book Indigenous Peoples and Archaeology in Latin America written by Cristóbal Gnecco and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-06-16 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first to describe indigenous archaeology in Latin America for an English speaking audience. Eighteen chapters primarily by Latin American scholars describe relations between indigenous peoples and archaeology in the frame of national histories and examine the emergence of the native interest in their heritage. Relationships between archaeology and native communities are ambivalent: sometimes an escalating battleground, sometimes a promising site of intercultural encounters. The global trend of indigenous empowerment today has renewed interest in history, making it a tool of cultural meaning and political legitimacy. This book deals with the topic with a raw forthrightness not often demonstrated in writings about archaeology and indigenous peoples. Rather than being ‘politically correct,’ it attempts to transform rather than simply describe.

Download or read book El Rey Victorino written by Alejandro Roque Glez and published by Alejandro's Libros. This book was released on 2012-04 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El REY VICTORINO es una historia que nos abre una definida pero infinita ventana al tiempo del Reino prometido por el Hijo de Dios. Aquí no hay prolepsis que destruya ni luchas entre palabras agudas, esdrújulas, graves o regulares, sino un prolijo enlace desde ese futuro en que se nos predijo desde antaño.En ella el lector reirá por las simpáticas ocurrencias del rey y los que lo rodean junto a las aventuras que le suceden no solo en el 'Reino del Tocororo', donde él gobierna a su pueblo, pero también en el viaje que emprende durante los últimos siete años del Gran Reino Milenario; es decir, desde el año 992 al 999 del GRM, comenzando con la travesía que en carrozas engalanadas cruza primeramente por la Región Atlántica: ahora tierra seca convertida en un Edén de proporciones inimaginables.En el transcurso de la historia los personajes y caracteres alrededor del rey Victorino interactúan en diálogos y situaciones atrapadas dentro del viaje, mientras el rey rememora todos los pasajes bíblicos que en el 'viejo siglo' nos anunciaban la promesa del Reino Milenario; es por tanto un libro que cita la Palabra de Dios con frecuencia, aunque por tratarse de varias esta vez a pie de página se nos agregan las citas donde pueden ser encontradas; y asegurándonos que la justicia eterna no es promesa hueca, sino aumentativa locomotora que se acerca a la velocidad que Dios el Creador ha predestinado en la dispensación del tiempo y las épocas.
