Strategic Occidentalism
Strategic Occidentalism examines the transformation, in both aesthetics and infrastructure, of Mexican fiction since the late 1970s. During this time a framework has emerged characterized by the corporatization of publishing, a frictional relationship between Mexican literature and global book markets, and the desire of Mexican writers to break from dominant models of national culture. In the course of this analysis, Ignacio M. Sánchez Prado engages with theories of world literature, proposing that “world literature” is a construction produced at various levels, including the national, that must be studied from its material conditions of production in specific sites. In particular, he a...
On the Plain of Snakes
Legendary travel writer Paul Theroux drives the entire length of the US-Mexico border, then goes deep into the hinterland, on the back roads of Chiapas and Oaxaca, to uncover the rich, layered world behind today's brutal headlines. Paul Theroux has spent his life crisscrossing the globe in search of the histories and peoples that give life to the places they call home. Now, as immigration debates boil around the world, Theroux has set out to explore a country key to understanding our current discourse: Mexico. Just south of the Arizona border, in the desert region of Sonora, he finds a place brimming with vitality, yet visibly marked by both the US Border Patrol looming to the north and moun...
Pianto per Ignacio Sánchez Mejías. Traduzione a cura di Valerio Di Stefano
Tradurre Federico García Lorca (di seguito semplicemente Federico, per il vezzo confidenziale che hanno gli ispanisti di chiamare i loro poeti per nome) è un'impresa che fa tremare i polsi. Innanzi alla semplicità traslucida della sua lingua poetica, il traduttore si arrende. Ma non davanti all'arditezza, quasi sfrontata e violentemente proposta, delle sue immagini. E se Federico era, come era, tutto in uno (poeta, prosista, pianista, musicista, attore, traduttore, culteranista insigne), impresa assai più ardua è tradurre questo "Pianto per la morte di Ignacio Sánchez Mejías". Si tratta, probabilmente, della sua opera di maggior fama, perfettamente conclusa nella sua brevità, per via del ripetere cadenzato del verso "alle cinque della sera" nella prima parte. Era il 1935 quando Federico diede alle stampe questo testo essenziale, l'anno che precedette la sua tragica morte per fucilazione di mano franchista e il vilipendio del suo cadavere, che non fu mai più ritrovato (l'ultimo sberleffo del Granadino).
Mexican Literature as World Literature
Mexican Literature as World Literature is a landmark collection that, for the first time, studies the major interventions of Mexican literature of all genres in world literary circuits from the 16th century forward. This collection features a range of essays in dialogue with major theorists and critics of the concept of world literature. Authors show how the arrival of Spanish conquerors and priests, the work of enlightenment naturalists, the rise of Mexican academies, the culture of the Mexican Revolution, and Mexican neoliberalism have played major roles in the formation of world literary structures. The book features major scholars in Mexican literary studies engaging in the ways in which modernism, counterculture, and extinction have been essential to Mexico's world literary pursuit, as well as studies of the work of some of Mexico's most important authors: Sor Juana, Carlos Fuentes, Octavio Paz, and Juan Rulfo, among others. These essays expand and enrich the understanding of Mexican literature as world literature, showing the many significant ways in which Mexico has been a center for world literary circuits.
