Gloria Alcorta
Une femme entre démons et impostures, drames et mystères. Une vie dédoublée, partagée entre l'Europe et l'Amérique latine, entre la sculpture et la littérature. Proche de Jorge Luis Borges et de Jean Cassou qui ont écrit des préfaces à ses ouvrages, Gloria Alcorta répond ici aux questions de Hubert Haddad sur sa conception du fantastique, sur son appartenance à la littérature argentine, sur la double culture. L'étonnement, l'effet de surprise est une des grandes caractéristiques de son écriture, presque un style qui porte au mystère.

Jorge Luis Borges
He read and wrote with the greatest of passions. And Jorge Luis Borges, the greatest of Argentine writers, created, through a 60-year-long career, one of the significant and enduring literary legacies of any writer of the 20th century. The reach of his poetry, his stories, and his essays was global.
Le crime de Doña Clara
Neuf nouvelles de passion et de mort, dans le cadre réaliste d’un Buenos Aires des faubourgs, ou celui - exotique - d’une Argentine profonde et sauvage. Un univers singulier où, comme chez Borges ou Cortazar, le réel le plus cru ne cesse de côtoyer le fantastique. Un embaumeur japonais a peut-être fait disparaître sa femme. Trois prisonniers politiques jouent au terrible jeu de l’énigme des croix, grâce auquel l’un deux aura la vie sauve. Dans un bar, une balle de plomb traverse un chapeau... De l’anecdote la plus fine, comme du sujet le plus grave, Gloria Alcorta tisse un intrigant rideau de perles au-delà duquel se tient, et se dérobe, cette merveille appelée littérature.
Transatlantic Cinephilia
"In the two decades after World War II, a vibrant cultural infrastructure of cineclubs, archives, festivals, and film schools took shape in Latin America through the labor of film enthusiasts who worked in concert with French and France-based organizations. In promoting the emerging concept and practice of art cinema, these film-related institutions advanced geopolitical and class interests simultaneously in a polarized Cold War climate. Seeking to sharpen viewers' critical faculties as a safeguard against ideological extremes in cinema, institutions of film culture lent prestige to Latin America's growing middle classes and capitalized on official and unofficial efforts to boost the circulation of French cinema, enhancing the nation's soft power in the wake of military defeat and occupation. As the first book-length, transnational analysis of postwar Latin American film culture, Transatlantic Cinephilia deepens our understanding of how institutional networks have nurtured alternative and nontheatrical cinemas"--
Sound in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction
During the twentieth century sound underwent a dramatic transformation as new technologies and social practices challenged conventional aural experience. As a result, sound functioned as a means to exert social, cultural, and political power in unprecedented and unexpected ways. The fleeting nature of sound has long made it a difficult topic for historical study, but innovative scholars have recently begun to analyze the sonic traces of the past using innovative approaches. Sound in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction investigates sound as part of the social construction of historical experience and as an element of the sensory relationship people have to the world, showing how hearing and li...
