Postmodernism of Resistance in Roberto Bolaño's Fiction and Poetry
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.
Uncivil Wars
The first English-language book to place the works of Elena Garro (1916–1998) and Octavio Paz (1914–1998) in dialogue with each other, Uncivil Wars evokes the lives of two celebrated literary figures who wrote about many of the same experiences and contributed to the formation of Mexican national identity but were judged quite differently, primarily because of gender. While Paz’s privileged, prize-winning legacy has endured worldwide, Garro’s literary gifts garnered no international prizes and received less attention in Latin American literary circles. Restoring a dual perspective on these two dynamic writers and their world, Uncivil Wars chronicles a collective memory of wars that s...
Latin American Collection Concepts
Though still hampered by some challenging obstacles, Latin American collection development is not the static, tradition-bound field many believe it to be. Latin American studies librarians have confronted these difficulties head-on and developed strategies to adapt to the field's continuous digital advancements. Presenting perspectives from several independent Latin American libraries, this collection of new essays covers the history of collecting, current strategies in collection development, collaborative collection development, buying trips, and future trends and new technologies.

Elena Garro and Mexico's Modern Dreams
Elena Garro and Mexico's Modern Dreams uses Elena Garro’s eccentric life and work as a lens through which to examine mid-twentieth-century Mexican intellectuals' desire to reconcile mexicanidad with modernidad. The famously scandalous first wife of Nobel Prize winner poet Octavio Paz, and an award-winning author in her own right, Garro constructed a mysterious and often contradictory persona through her very public participation in Mexican political conflicts. Herself an anxious and contentious Mexican writer, Elena Garro elicited profound political and aesthetic anxiety in her Mexican readers. She confused the personal and the public in her creative fictions as well as in her vision of Me...
La vida es un horrible engaño - Leben und dramatisches Werk der mexikanischen Autorin Elena Garro
Die Prosaautorin und Dramatikerin Elena Garro (1916-1998) war eine der widersprüchlichsten und faszinierendsten Gestalten in der mexikanischen Kulturszene des vergangenen Jahrhunderts. Ihre frühen Dramen verfasste Elena Garro für die von ihrem langjährigen Ehemann, dem Dichter und Essayisten Octavio Paz, mitbegründete und vom Surrealismus beeinflusste avantgardistische Theatergruppe «Poesía en Voz Alta». Ein erstes Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, in einer Zeit der Wiederkehr des biographischen Interesses in der Literatur, das ereignisreiche künstlerische und öffentlich-politische Leben der Autorin in einer Kurzbiografie darzustellen. Schwerpunkt der Arbeit ist die differenzierte und vergleichende Analyse des gesamten dramatischen Werks von Elena Garro, in dem sich Realität und Moderne mit dem magisch-mythischen indigenen Erbe verbinden.
Poetas hispanoamericanas contemporáneas
This volume brings together studies on poetics, poetic arts, and other metapoetic texts by contemporary women poets from Spanish America. The fundamental contribution of the book lies in the valorization of the metapoetic and self-reflexive element in poetry written by women, since research on the topic has focused primarily, until today, on male authors.
Digital Encounters
To understand the creative fabric of digital networks, scholars of literary and cultural studies must turn their attention to crowdsourced forms of production, discussion, and distribution. Digital Encounters explores the influence of an increasingly networked world on contemporary Latin American cultural production. Drawing on a spectrum of case studies, the contributors to this volume examine literature, art, and political activism as they dialogue with programming languages, social media platforms, online publishing, and geospatial metadata. Implicit within these connections are questions of power, privilege, and stratification. The book critically examines issues of inequitable access and data privacy, technology’s capacity to divide people from one another, and the digital space as a site of racialized and gendered violence. Through an expansive approach to the study of connectivity, Digital Encounters illustrates how new connections – between analog and digital, human and machine, print text and pixel – alter representations of self, Other, and world.
