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.

WINNER OF THE 2019 PULITZER PRIZE IN POETRY LONGLISTED FOR THE 2018 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD Publishers Weekly Best Poetry Book of 2018 Forrest Gander’s first book of poems since his Pulitzer finalist Core Samples from the World: a startling look through loss, grief, and regret into the exquisite nature of intimacy Drawing from his experience as a translator, Forrest Gander includes in the first, powerfully elegiac section a version of a poem by the Spanish mystical poet St. John of the Cross. He continues with a long multilingual poem examining the syncretic geological and cultural history of the U.S. border with Mexico. The poems of the third section—a moving transcription of Gander’s efforts to address his mother dying of Alzheimer’s—rise from the page like hymns, transforming slowly from reverence to revelation. Gander has been called one of our most formally restless poets, and these new poems express a characteristically tensile energy and, as one critic noted, “the most eclectic diction since Hart Crane.”
A través de la vanguardia hispanoamericana
A través de la vanguardia hispanoamericana reúne las ponencias y comunicaciones del VIII Congreso Internacional de la Asociación Española de Estudios Literarios Hispanoamericanos, celebrado en Tarragona entre los días 16 y 19 de septiembre de 2008. Durante aquellas jornadas se abordaron, siempre desde una perspectiva crítica, temas y aspectos diversos; autores y obras relacionados con las vanguardias literarias de Hispanoamérica: orígenes, momento histórico y posteriores transformaciones. Se valoró también su relación con las fuentes europeas, pero destacando, ante todo, las aportaciones originales.
Lazos
Este libro se propone analizar prácticas literarias, cinematográficas y teatrales que nos interrogan sobre el espacio entre los lazos y las rupturas –afectivos, políticos, imaginarios– que nos constituyen hoy como sujetos. Esas prácticas desafían dos consensos generalizados: el de la imposibilidad del "nosotros" que evidencian los medios, y el del discurso filosófico de la finitud, como lo llama el filósofo Alain Badiou, que admite el status quo y la derrota de cualquier sueño progresista. Vivimos a diario sin embargo la experiencia de comunidades que ya no son identitarias sino frágiles y sin soluciones de continuidad, pero que resultan más fuertes que muchas que fueron consti...
Así nació el diablo
Este reportaje debería contarse como una novela negra: un joven que decide recorrer un camino que lo lleva a la más profunda de las oscuridades. Esta historia tendría que ser sólo un mal sueño: una ciudad tan brutal que permite que un simple narcomenudista termine perpetrando un doble asesinato de resonancias internacionales. Ojalá este libro fuera una ficción: un reportero que por azares del destino termina atestiguando un viaje mortal al centro de la noche. Pero todo es verdad. Cada palabra y cada personaje, cada persecución y cada sinsentido, terminan retratando el rostro más real de este México de balas y desesperación. Así nació el diablo es la historia del Mawicho , que en...
No se mata la verdad
"They came for her husband. The trucks arrived with a crash, the occupants came down screaming, their grandchildren played in the street, both ran scared. It was seven thirty in the afternoon. They were followed by at least six men. Others stayed outside, on duty. In the rustic interior courtyard, María Ordóñez could only hug the little ones. The only room with a door inside the house was the one below. The invaders tore her down. But there was no one behind. They seized a laptop, a tablet, a camera, two cell phones: the reporter's work tools. He slept on the top floor. The fatigue of two days of hard work did not allow the noise to alert Moisés Sánchez. He probably woke up when he felt...
Letras nómades – Experiencias da mobilidade feminina na literatura galega
"Letras nómades. Experiencias da mobilidade feminina na literatura Galega" examines –by means of biographical and personal documents which are supplied and justified by the contributors– the construction of identity in a context of exile, emigration, return, etc. This collection of essays analyses the migrant’s relationship, both physical and psychological, with the places of origin and destination. It also identifies the metaphors which articulate the narration and description of personal documents and, furthermore, focuses on the various representations of memory (scars, silence, oblivion, etc.) by Galician-language women writers. "Letras nómades. Experiencias da mobilidade feminin...
