Feminist Friendship As An Affective Engagement Through The Arts: A Decolonial And Posthuman Becoming-With Rebeca Lane's Alma Mestiza, Miguel Ángel Blanco Martínez, Paola Mendoza Téllez-Girón Dec 2019

Feminist Friendship As An Affective Engagement Through The Arts: A Decolonial And Posthuman Becoming-With Rebeca Lane's Alma Mestiza, Miguel Ángel Blanco Martínez, Paola Mendoza Téllez-Girón

disClosure: A Journal of Social Theory

This paper considers friendship as an affective terrain of feminist alliance among subjects that belong to territories with a colonial record responding to the colonial/modern gender system (Lugones 2007) through the arts. Friendship is here conceptualized as an engagement of feminist solidarity unfolding within theoretical and practical models of change and resistance against the logics of cultural imperialism (Lugones and Spelman 1983). Turning friendship into a polyphonic feminist reaction, this work is conducted by acknowledging the need to foster dialogues where different authorial voices and feminist positionalities meet, reflect, and speak. The paper settles the encounter between its authors in …

Escribir La Pesadilla: Dávila Y Tario, Entre Lo Fantástico Y El Terror. Dos Ejemplos En La Literatura Mexicana Del Medio Siglo, Adriana Álvarez Rivera May 2018

Escribir La Pesadilla: Dávila Y Tario, Entre Lo Fantástico Y El Terror. Dos Ejemplos En La Literatura Mexicana Del Medio Siglo, Adriana Álvarez Rivera

Nomenclatura: aproximaciones a los estudios hispánicos

En este trabajo se analizan dos cuentos de escritores mexicanos cuya obra, hasta hace relativamente poco, fue considerada marginal: “El jardín de las tumbas” de Amparo Dávila y “La noche de los cincuenta libros” de Francisco Tario. Como sustento teórico se retoman, en especial, las posturas de David Roas y Tzvetan Todorov, defensor y detractor respectivamente de la idea del miedo como esencial a lo fantástico. El análisis más concreto de los textos se basa en conceptos de narratología -fundamentalmente la focalización y la voz narrativa- y teoría de la recepción -en particular el horizonte de expectativas- para poner en …


Six Poems On Sixteenth-Century Maps, Jeremy Dae Paden Apr 2014

Six Poems On Sixteenth-Century Maps, Jeremy Dae Paden

disClosure: A Journal of Social Theory

Enclosed are seven poems that explore the topic of mapping. Six of these form part of a series of ekphrastic poems on sixteenth-century "mappa mundi." They use the trope of the "cosmographic heart" or the "cordiform map" to tell the story of early European and American contact. Four of them use actual sixteenth-century mappa mundi (Fineaus's cordiform map, Bunting's clover-leaf map, Hand an anonymous Flemish map that uses Ortellius's cordiform map as the face of a jester) as points of departure. These maps by iconographically distorting the world make visible through representation the Early Modern Europe had with understanding the …
