The Cambridge History of Latin American Women's Literature
The Cambridge History of Latin American Women's Literature is an essential resource for anyone interested in the development of women's writing in Latin America. Ambitious in scope, it explores women's literature from ancient indigenous cultures to the beginning of the twenty-first century. Organized chronologically and written by a host of leading scholars, this History offers an array of approaches that contribute to current dialogues about translation, literary genres, oral and written cultures, and the complex relationship between literature and the political sphere. Covering subjects from cronistas in Colonial Latin America and nation-building to feminicide and literature of the indigenous elite, this History traces the development of a literary tradition while remaining grounded in contemporary scholarship. The Cambridge History of Latin American Women's Literature will not only engage readers in ongoing debates but also serve as a definitive reference for years to come.
Defining and Defying Borders
Tracing heated exchanges between Spanish and Latin American intellectuals that took place in journals, magazines, and newspapers in the early twentieth century, Defining and Defying Borders details how borders and boundaries were contested within a medium that simultaneously crossed borders and defined boundaries. Vanessa Marie Fernández demonstrates that print media is an invaluable resource for scholars because it offers a nuanced perspective of the complex postcolonial relationship between Spain and Latin America that shaped aesthetic production within and beyond national boundaries. Presenting inclusive paradigms that are at once able to transcend borders, acknowledge national boundaries, and account for empire, Defining and Defying Borders illustrates that investigating journals, magazines, and newspapers is crucial to better understanding postcolonial literary and cultural production.
Transnational South America
At the crossroad of intellectual, diplomatic, and cultural history, this book examines flows of information, men, and ideas between South American cities—mainly the port-capitals of Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro—during the period of their modernization. The book reconstructs this largely overlooked trend toward connectedness both as an objective process and as an assemblage of visions and policies concentrating on diverse transnational practices such as translation, travel, public visits and conferences, the print press, cultural diplomacy, intertextuality, and institutional and personal contacts. Inspired by the entangled history approach and the spatial turn in the humanities, the bo...
Untold Stories of the Spanish Civil War
This is the first scholarly volume to offer an insight into the less-known stories of women, children, and international volunteers in the Spanish Civil War. Special attention is given to volunteers of different historical experiences, especially Jews, and voices from less-researched countries in the context of the Spanish war, such as Palestine and Turkey. Of an interdisciplinary nature, this volume brings together historians and literary scholars from different countries. Their research is based on newly found primary sources in both national and private archives, as well as on post-essentialist methodological insights for women’s history, Jewish history, and studies on belonging. By bri...
Ezra Pound and the Spanish World
This collection offers for the first time criticism, biographical essays, analysis, translation studies, and reminiscences of Ezra Pound’s extensive interaction with Spain and Spanish culture, from his earliest visits to Spain in 1902 and 1906 and his study of significant Spanish writers to the dedication of the first monument erected anywhere to Pound in the small Spanish village of Medinaceli in 1973. Divided into two sections, Part One: “ON EZRA POUND AND THE SPANISH WORLD” includes a general introduction on Pound’s lifelong involvement with Spain, together with chapters on Pound’s study of classical Spanish literature, the Spanish dimension in The Cantos, Pound’s contemporary...
Elective Affinities
From the nineteenth century to the present, literary entanglements between Latin America and East Central Europe have been socio-politically and culturally diverse, but never random. The Iron Curtain, in particular, forced both regions to negotiate transatlantic «elective affinities», to take a stance in relation to the West, and to position themselves within world literature. As a result, the intellectual fields and creative productions of these regions have critically engaged with notions such as «post-imperial», «marginal», or «peripheral». In this edited volume, scholars from Germany, Brazil, Czech Republic, Hungary, Mexico, Poland, Slovenia, and Spain cross the globe from South to East and back to uncover transcultural and transareal convivialities. Their papers explore literary history, poetics, intellectual networks, and aesthetic theory, while discussing new key concepts in global literary history.
Opowieści o Raju utraconym
Opowieści o Raju utraconym to książka, która nawiązuje do dyskursu o literaturze iberoamerykańskiej prowadzonego w kontekście przemian kulturowych związanych z procesami modernizującymi XX wieku. Przedmiotem analizy jest problematyka kulturowa w hispanoamerykańskiej powieści o selwie. Mimo wielkiej różnorodności interpretacji i propozycji estetycznych wspólną jej cechą jest potrzeba demistyfikacji „rajskiego” stereotypu jako zakwestionowanie narracji eurocentrycznej. Literackie obrazy selwy pokazują także te aspekty latynoamerykańskiej nowoczesności, które wiążą się z miejscem wykluczenia społecznego i kulturowego. Identyfikacja i wykluczenie, pojęcie granic i...

Teoría literaria
"Los seis trabajos que integran el presente volumen abordan problemas relacionados con la teoría literaria (y lo hacen desde perspectivas conceptuales y temáticas diferentes). Éstos recogen algunos de los desarrollos que en dicho campo se han realizado en la Escuela de Estudios Literarios, de la Universidad del Valle. Con el objetivo de darles una presentación ordenada, hemos dispuesto estas investigaciones en dos grandes apartados. En el primero, titulado ""Debates y confluencias"", se reúnen tres textos: ""¿Una teoría crítica para América Latina?"", de Juan Moreno Blanco; ""Historia de la literatura y estudios de género"", de Carmiña Navia Velasco; y ""Filmar libros: Los princip...
