La Invención De Los Clásicos: Nacionalismo, Filología Y Políticas Culturales En Argentina, Fernando Degiovanni Sep 2005

La Invención De Los Clásicos: Nacionalismo, Filología Y Políticas Culturales En Argentina, Fernando Degiovanni

Publications and Research

Este artículo estudia el lugar que tuvo el discurso filológico en las disputas por la consagración de una versión legítima del canon argentino a comienzos del siglo XX. A través del análisis del modo en que algunos críticos utilizaron argumentos y estrategias de fijación discursiva derivados de la crítica textual para legitimar una versión anti-jacobina y anti-socialista de los orígenes de la nacionalidad en un momento crucial de la vida política del país (la sanción de la Ley Sáenz Peña y las primeras elecciones presidenciales limpias), el trabajo se propone indicar las estrechas relaciones entre legitimación crítica y legitimación política …

Ethnos Meets Eros On The River Plate: Marcelo Birmajer, Sylvia Molloy, Anna Kazumi Stahl , Edna Aizenberg Jun 2005

Ethnos Meets Eros On The River Plate: Marcelo Birmajer, Sylvia Molloy, Anna Kazumi Stahl , Edna Aizenberg

Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature

This article deals with three contemporary novelists, Marcelo Birmajer, Anna Kazumi Stahl and Sylvia Molly in the context of a new understanding of ethnicity, sexuality and literature in Argentina. In contrast to previous eras when writing reflected a melting pot philosophy which saw Eros as a means of fusing ethnicities and eliminating particularities, today's fiction often celebrates these differences, uncovering layers of secrecy and demanding a place for various languages, sexualities and geographies.


Parodie Musings On Futurism And Amore In Oliverio Girondo's Espantapájaros (Al Alcance De Todos). , Patricia Montilla Jun 2005

Parodie Musings On Futurism And Amore In Oliverio Girondo's Espantapájaros (Al Alcance De Todos). , Patricia Montilla

Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature

The Argentine poet Oliverio Girondo (1891-1967) was one of the leading figures of the Spanish American avant-garde. Appearing in 1932 approximately two decades after the rise of Futurism, Girondo's third collection of poetry, Espantapájaros (al alcance de todos), mocks the already clichéd literary conventions promulgated by the avant-garde. Many of the book's poems parody the principles outlined in the founding "Manifesto of Futurism" (1909) and in F. T. Marinetti's subsequent writings.

This study closely examines the poems in Espantapájaros that play on Futurism's assault on amore and sentimentality, its scorn for woman, its promotion of sex as a sole …


La Llegada Contemplativa Como Narrativa Fundacional En El Contemplado Y Las Cartas De Viaje De Pedro Salinas, Irune Del Rio Gabiola Jan 2005

La Llegada Contemplativa Como Narrativa Fundacional En El Contemplado Y Las Cartas De Viaje De Pedro Salinas, Irune Del Rio Gabiola

Scholarship and Professional Work - LAS

El artículo habla de los discursos postcoloniales y contra-hegemónicos en las obras del escritor puertorriqueño Pedro Salinas al principio del siglo XX. Los críticos literarios han realizado la visión de Salinas de la puertorriqueñidad. Dos obras de Salinas "El contemplado" y "Cartas de viaje" muestran un gran afán por implementar la españolidad como parte de la isla, pero también critica el imperio norteamericano en las prácticas sociales.

Where Am I? Who Am I? The Problem Of Location And Recognition In Helena Parente Cunha's Woman Between Mirrors , Joanne Gass Jan 2005

Where Am I? Who Am I? The Problem Of Location And Recognition In Helena Parente Cunha's Woman Between Mirrors , Joanne Gass

Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature

Helena Parente Cunha's novel, Woman Between Mirrors explores the many ways in which a dominant and domineering patriarchy can and does impose itself upon its subjects through what Louis Althusser calls interpellation. Parente Cunha's woman, a true twentieth-century heroine, faces her divided self—a self determined by ideology—and begins a quest which will end when she becomes an "I" before her shattered mirrors. But before that can happen, she must author herself, and, in the process of writing herself, she must overcome the demons of location and recognition. In the material sense, the woman must locate herself geographically, historically, socially, and …


A Clear-Sighted Witness: Trauma And Memory In Maryse Condé'S Desirada, Dawn Fulton Jan 2005

A Clear-Sighted Witness: Trauma And Memory In Maryse Condé'S Desirada, Dawn Fulton

Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature

Maryse Condé's 1997 novel recounts a young Guadeloupean woman's frustrating search for the identity of her father. Because the information she seeks is initially guarded by her mother and later contradicted by friends and family, this heroine confronts an epistemological impasse, a potentially traumatic event to which she will never have direct access. Informed by Toni Morrison's reflections on memory and invention and by recent studies in trauma theory, this essay examines the ways in which Condé negotiates this impasse in her novel, creating a narrative field of knowledge that allows for its own lacunae and maintains multiple registers of …


Nomadismos Lingüisticos Y Culturales En Yo-Yo Boing De Giannina Braschi (Linguistic And Cultural Monadisms In 'Yo-Yo Boing' By Giannina Braschi), Laura R. Loustau Jan 2005

Nomadismos Lingüisticos Y Culturales En Yo-Yo Boing De Giannina Braschi (Linguistic And Cultural Monadisms In 'Yo-Yo Boing' By Giannina Braschi), Laura R. Loustau

World Languages and Cultures Faculty Articles and Research

"En la novela Yo-Yo Boing Giannina Braschi plantea un bilingüismo e identidad nomádica. Huye del concepto de permanencia y arraigo, definiéndose en sus personajes como un ser errante y proponiendo una yuxtaposición lingüística propia. Braschi utiliza un code-switching para subrayar la complejidad de vivir simultáneamente en más de una cultura y una lengua. El concepto teórico que da impulso a este artículo es la definición sobre la conciencia nómada que plantea Rosi Braidotti. Para Braidotti lo que define el estado nomádico es la subversión de convenciones fijas y estáticas. Braschi, en Yo-Yo Boing subvierte las convenciones lingüísticas al incorporar un …

La Conciencia Política Y Social De Luis Palés Matos: Otra Lectura De Su Poesía, Omar Carmona Sanchez Jan 2005

La Conciencia Política Y Social De Luis Palés Matos: Otra Lectura De Su Poesía, Omar Carmona Sanchez

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Throughout the decades, poetry has served as a literary vehicle to express and emphasize the emotions of a person. It has provided the substantial drive for the developed and the structure of individuals dedicated to a cause. This is the case of the Puerto Rican poet Luis Pales Matos, a man that used this method to make known the racial differences he found in his country and to clear a way for the Island's independence. Palés Matos dedications have made him one of Puerto Rico most significant poets. His is the first poet in the Spanish language to dedicate part …


Women, Subalternity, And The Historical Novel Of María Rosa Lojo , Kathryn Lehman Jan 2005

Women, Subalternity, And The Historical Novel Of María Rosa Lojo , Kathryn Lehman

Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature

María Rosa Lojo (1954) has received critical recognition as a poet, short-story writer, and novelist. Her poetic work Visiones (1984) and Forma oculta del mundo (1991), first book of short-stories Marginales (1986), and two novels Canción perdida en Buenos Aires al Oeste (1987) and La pasión de los nómades (1994), have received prestigious awards. Lojo's most recent work, informed and inspired by archival sources, has been acclaimed by both critics and the general public for having radically altered the established representation of canonical historical figures. The novels La princesa federal (1998), and Una mujer de fin de siglo (1999), and …

Modernity, Postmodernity, And Transgression In Sábato's Esthetics: Poetic Dissemination, Defeat Of Utopias, Returning Bodies , María Rosa Lojo

Studies in 20th & 21st Century Literature

After defining the problematic term "Postmodernity" and its possible application to Latin America, the position of Ernesto Sábato as an essayist and narrator is discussed in light of Modernity (questioned by him as the rationalist and enlightened canon, but applauded as romantic and surrealistic rebellion), and Postmodernity with which it connects from diverse axis: the poetic of desire and that of transgression (vanguard movements related to Foucault, Bataille and Derrida), the theory of reality as "fragment" and "simulacrum" and the suppression of oppositions in the paroxysm of "symbolic exchange." Sábato would transcend from the central proposition of his writing, the …
