Politics and Public Space in Contemporary Argentine Poetry
This book addresses the connection between political themes and literary form in the most recent Argentine poetry. Ben Bollig uses the concepts of “lyric” and “state” as twin coordinates for both an assessment of how Argentinian poets have conceived a political role for their work and how poems come to speak to us about politics. Drawing on concepts from contemporary literary theory, this striking study combines textual analysis with historical research to shed light on the ways in which new modes of circulation help to shape poetry today.
Moving Verses
From Wild Tales to Zama, Argentine cinema has produced some of the most visually striking and critically lauded films of the 2000s. Argentina also boasts some of the most exciting contemporary poetry in the Spanish language. What happens when its film and poetry meet on screen? Moving Verses studies the relationship between poetry and cinema in Argentina. Although both the poetics of cinema and literary adaptation have become established areas of film scholarship in recent years, the diverse modes of exchange between poetry and cinema have received little critical attention. The book analyses how film and poetry transform each another, and how these two expressive media behave when placed in...
The Cambridge Companion to Latin American Poetry
This Companion provides a chronological survey of Latin American poetry, analysis of modern trends and six succinct essays on the major figures.
Bodies of Water
Rivers, swimming pools, lakes, and oceans: these watery spaces recur with remarkable frequency in recent queer Latin American cinema, urging us to question the intimacies between queerness and the aquatic. Unpredictable and uncontrollable, water reflects a natural fluidity in our sexual desires and orientations; it is both a space and a substance, one in which bodies surrender themselves to the natural forces of currents and flows. As the first book to investigate water's queer cinematic potential, Bodies of Water proposes that we think not only about water but also through it, illuminating new directions for the study of queer world cinema and its evolving aesthetic strategies. Bodies of Water engages critically with theories of cinematic embodiment and recent work in queer theory and the environmental humanities, foregrounding a region of the world historically overlooked in global discussions of queerness. By examining the radical queer epistemologies that emerge at the convergence of body, camera, and water, Bodies of Water ultimately poses a question of both critical and sociopolitical concern: what's so queer about cinematic waters?
Music for Unknown Journeys by Cristian Aliaga
What is the purpose of travel in an age when millions are displaced against their will or have no home to speak of in the first place? How can we travel without being tourists, without erasing the stories of those who live where we visit? These are some of the questions addressed in Cristian Aliaga's compelling collection of prose poems, Music for Unknown Journeys. This collection contains Aliaga's travelling sketches in the tradition of Matsuo Basho, John Berger, or W.G. Sebald. Each prose poem is geographically situated in his travels across Patagonia or his more recent journeys around the edge-lands of Europe. His work is politically acute, exploring struggles over territory, resources, a...
Subjetividades em devir
Uma ponte poética e transatlântica une Brasil, Argentina e Europa nesta coletânea de ensaios que reúne alguns dos maiores especialistas no estudo da literatura contemporânea. Os textos aqui apresentados lançam luz de forma criteriosa sobre obras de poetas de língua portuguesa, francesa e espanhola, de fins do século XIX até os dias de hoje - retomando proposições fundamentais à construção da tradição moderna de poesia, como a da visão alegórica de Baudelaire e da crise do verso diagnosticada por Mallarmé.
Historia feminista de la literatura argentina - Tomo IV
El tomo IV de la Historia feminista de la literatura argentina abarca el período 1990-2020. El proyecto se ocupa de revisar los archivos y resignificarlos, cuestionando tanto sus fundamentos patriarcales como los de la crítica que le dio cuerpo; desafiar no solo las ausencias sino los protocolos de representación, sus estructuras y normalizaciones. Al promover ficciones y lecturas que ponen en contacto cuerpos sexuales y textuales que la crítica no pudo o no quiso ver en contigüidad, son activadas perspectivas hasta el momento inimaginables. Al moverse en una línea paralela al canon, las experiencias literarias rescatadas en este tomo se vuelven más dinámicas y adquieren una eficacia...
Mundos en común
En 2010, en el Museo de Arte Moderno de Río de Janeiro, el artista brasileño Nuno Ramos expone la instalación Fruto estranho. Dos árboles flamboyán inmensos sostienen unos aviones monomotor y gotean soda cáustica sobre un par de contrabajos. Mientras suena Strange Fruit —una canción sobre el linchamiento de un grupo de afroamericanos estadounidenses en 1936—, se proyecta una escena de El manantial de la doncella, de Ingmar Bergman. ¿Qué gesto reflexivo propone este cruce de soportes, materiales, referencias, países y tiempos? En Mundos en común, Florencia Garramuño analiza una serie de obras latinoamericanas que ponen en crisis las ideas de pertenencia, individualidad y espec...
La lucha por el poder cultural
Este libro muestra la cultura argentina de la actualidad en una versión desarrollista que marca sus conflictos como factores de cambio. La población, al resistir restricciones y dominaciones, hace que la práctica cultural “choque” –por motivos personales e intereses– al competir continuamente por los negocios, los servicios profesionales y los deportes, proponiendo cambios culturales que intantan negar las tendencias existentes en la política, las ciencias, la tecnología, las artes, las religiones, la educación y los juegos (todos, parte integrante del quehacer cultural). Nuestra cultura es subdesarrollada y se ha visto cada vez más comercializada y globalista, en especial en ...
Antología de la poesía latinoamericana del siglo xxi
Lo que hace Julio Ortega en este libro seductor es vislumbrar la poesía de mañana, “documentar la escritura allí donde el futuro se está ahora mismo haciendo”, aventurar “una intervención en el paisaje cultural”, perfilar “una suerte de mapa tentativo de lectura” y dejar que el lector “pueda explorar a su gusto prolongando las rutas de interrogación y celebración, y recorrer su propio tomo de futuro”.
