Constructing The Democratic Reader: The Functions Of Textual Hybridity In La Noche De Tlatelolco, Manuel Chinchilla

Diálogo

A study of Elena Poniatowska’s La noche de Tlatelolco as a hybrid text that combines the genres of testimonio and chronicle to reconcile the relationship between history and literature. This article centers on how readership of La noche de Tlatelolco permits a democratic practice that confronts official discourse, particularly the PRI party’s narratives of legitimization, while also fostering an engagement with the original political impulse behind the student movement of 1968.

Teaching Gaby Brimmer: A Disability Studies Approach, Beth Jörgensen

Diálogo

Gaby Brimmer (1979), the collaborative “autobiography” of the Mexican disability rights activist, narrates her childhood and young adulthood through the voices of Brimmer herself; her mother, Sari Dlugacz Brimmer; her caregiver, Florencia Morales Sánchez; and Elena Poniatowska. This article presents ideas and resources for teaching Gaby Brimmer from a disability studies perspective, in courses on contemporary Spanish-American literature, women writers, genre theory, human rights and activism, or in a disability studies course.

Querido Diego, Te Abraza Quiela Y Las Cartas De Angelina Beloff En El Archivo Museo Frida Kahlo, Nathanial Gardner

Diálogo

In Elena Poniatowska’s novel, Querido Diego, te abraza Quiela, readers detect a connection to the historical context of Paris during the early twentieth century and the relationship of Diego Rivera with Angelina Beloff. Since it is known that Poniatowska created this fictional account after having read Bertram Wolfe’s biography of Diego Rivera, this study focuses on the actual, physical letters in the archives, consulted by Wolfe, to reflect on evidence and recreation, to posit that different narratives emerge when each source is studied separately, and that our comprehension of biography and fiction can be altered after reviewing these historical documents. …

Jesusa En Islandia: La Traducción De Hasta No Verte, Jesús Mío, María Rán Guðjónsdóttir

Diálogo

The Icelandic translation of Hasta no verte, Jesús mío was well received by critics and readers alike. On the occasion of its publication in 2012, Elena Poniatowska visited the country to the great joy of Icelandic literature enthusiasts. In this essay the translator, María Rán Guðjónsdóttir, examines the process of translating the novel, the challenge of transmitting a text and culture of a source language so different from the target language, in consideration of Ortega y Gasset’s concept of the translator’s "misery and splendor."

La traducción al islandés de Hasta no verte, Jesús mío fue bien recibida entre críticos y …

Elena Poniatowska: Then, Now And Forever, Claire Brewster

Diálogo

Elena Poniatowska’s extraordinary literary output and her delightful personality justly merit her position as Mexico’s most dearly loved and highly respected author. I consider myself truly fortunate to have had the luxury of intensively studying her writings during the process of my doctoral dissertation. In this essay, I recall my introduction to Poniatowska’s work, her impact on my postgraduate studies, and how I, as a historian, employ her testimonial literature in my classes and the teaching of undergraduate students in the United Kingdom.

Class Privilege And Social Class Awakening In Paseo De La Reforma, Linda Ledford-Miller

Diálogo

In this reading of Elena Poniatowska’s Paseo de la Reforma, the plot goes beyond a love story and personal transformation of the protagonist to represent a metaphor in microcosm for Mexico City. Although a shorter work than her more highly recognized novels and testimonies, the tensions between social classes and the unearned privileges of the elite in this novel stand in contrast to the suffering of the masses.
