"Central American Migrations in the Twenty-First Century is an interdisciplinary approach to human mobility in Central America and beyond"--
Isles of Firm Ground
In wondrous, singing translation by Mike Soto, these spare, striking poems by Ignacio Ruiz-Pérez explore the infinite solitude of the universe. The poems of Ignacio Ruiz-Pérez reflect a world precariously dependent on the word, but also transfixed by the word. They express a metaphysical shift where the laws of heaven and earth are suspended, transformed into a terrain of the journey inward, reflecting a cosmos of the self. The simplicity of these poems never fail to resonate, reflecting a profound investigation of the world on an elemental level. Ruiz-Pérez's poetry very often reads like the discovery of a formula, an algebra of poetic inquiry that draws together references to Edgar Allen Poe, William Blake, and Alejandra Pizarnik. Deftly translated by poet Mike Soto, these poems express a singular vision of the abundance of the world as well as the void, but in these poems even the void is begged to speak.
Border Killers
Border Killers delves into how recent Mexican creators have reported, analyzed, distended, and refracted the increasingly violent world of neoliberal Mexico, especially its versions of masculinity. By looking to the insights of artists, writers, and filmmakers, Elizabeth Villalobos offers a path for making sense and critiquing very real border violence in contemporary Mexico. Villalobos focuses on representations of “border killers” in literature, film, and theater. The author develops a metaphor of “maquilization” to describe the mass-production of masculine violence as a result of neoliberalism. The author demonstrates that the killer is an interchangeable cog in a societal factory...
Latin American Literature in Transition 1980–2018: Volume 5
How do we address the idea of the literary now at the end of the second decade in the 21st century? Many traditional categories obscure or overlook significant contemporary forms of cultural production. This volume looks at literature and culture in general in this hinge period. Latin American Literature in Transition 1980-2018 examines the ways literary culture complicates national or area studies understandings of cultural production. Topics point to fresh, intersectional understandings of cultural practice, while keeping in mind the ongoing stakes in a struggle over material and intangible cultural and political borders that are being reinforced in formidable ways.
Entrelazando lenguas y culturas: Perspectivas actuales en torno a la adquisición y didáctica de lenguas, estudios lingüísticos y traducción, y estudios culturales y literatura
La presente obra responde a la diversidad en la tradición investigadora asentada en la universidad en el campo de la filología. Dicha tradición se manifiesta en tres aspectos básicos: la adquisición y didáctica de las lenguas, los estudios en lingüística y traducción, y los estudios culturales y literarios. La repercusión internacional de los avances en estos tres ámbitos en tiempos recientes revela la necesidad de crear un espacio que permita una indagación de cada ámbito manteniendo, a su vez, la relación intrínseca que estos demuestran en el mundo de la filología. Así, se han procurado contribuciones que destaquen por su carácter internacional, así como por su la calida...
Chasing Shadows
Like a John Le Carré novel updated for the digital age, Chasing Shadows provides a gripping account of how the Citizen Lab, the world’s foremost digital watchdog, has uncovered dozens of cyber espionage cases and protects people in countries around the world. Called “essential reading” by Margaret Atwood, it’s a chilling reminder of the invisible invasions happening on smartphones and computers around the world. In this real-life spy thriller, cyber security expert Ronald Deibert details the unseemly marketplace for high-tech surveillance, professional disinformation, and computerized malfeasance. He reveals how his team of digital sleuths at the Citizen Lab have lifted the lid on d...
Soma
El libro Soma (Ediciones Literal – México 2012) del autor Daniel Rojas Pachas, es un viaje fronterizo cuyo discurso nos instala entre un videogame y la existencia provocada por una modernidad en que la realidad del presente es pavorosa. El texto es fragmentado e interceptado por quiebres de diversos discursos como nudos, con abruptas salidas entre varios de sus niveles o capas; desde una narración, un poema delirante, una conversación, textos sacados de contexto y reubicados como guiones o un corto de películas, citas, monólogos, correos electrónicos y comentarios de autores. El libro, Soma, es un intenso soliloquio de un rewind y un presente y discurre en una zona que es fascinante ...
