The Lust of Seeing

The Lust of Seeing is the most comprehensive work on Hernandez to date, elucidating aspects of Hernandez's life and writing that have remained untreated or undertreated by previous criticism. The book's theoretical and comparative discussions also make The Lust of Seeing relevant reading well beyond Hernandez studies, particularly for readers interested in psychoanalysis, myth and ritual, fantastic literature, women's studies, film studies, and textual theory.

Staging Frontiers

Swashbuckling tales of valiant gauchos roaming Argentina and Uruguay were nineteenth-century Latin American bestsellers. But when the stories jumped from the page to the circus stage and beyond, their cultural, economic, and political influence revolutionized popular culture and daily life. In this expansive and engaging narrative William Acree guides readers through the deep history of popular entertainment before turning to circus culture and rural dramas that celebrated the countryside on stage. More than just riveting social experiences, these dramas were among the region’s most dominant attractions on the eve of the twentieth century. Staging Frontiers further explores the profound impacts this phenomenon had on the ways people interacted and on the broader culture that influenced the region. This new, modern popular culture revolved around entertainment and related products, yet it was also central to making sense of social class, ethnic identity, and race as demographic and economic transformations were reshaping everyday experiences in this rapidly urbanizing region.

A Companion to Pablo Neruda

Pablo Neruda was without doubt one of the greatest poets of the twentieth century but his work is extremely uneven. There is a view that there are two Nerudas, an early Romantic visionary and a later Marxist populist, who denied his earlier poetic self. By focussing on the poet's apprenticeship, and by looking closely at how Neruda created his poetic persona within his poems, this Companion tries to establish what should survive of his massive output. By seeing his early work as self exploration through metaphor and sound, as well as through varieties of love and direct experience, the Companion outlines a unity behind all the work, based on voice and a public self. Neruda's debt to reading ...

This book studies how the rhetoric of travel introduces different conceptualizations of space and time in scenarios of war during the last decades of the 19th century, in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay. By examining accounts of war and travel in the context of the consolidation of state apparatuses in these countries, Uriarte underlines the essential role that war (in connection to empire and capital) has played in the Latin American process of modernization and state formation. In this book, the analysis of British and Latin American travel narratives proves particularly productive in reading the ways in which national spaces are reconfigured, reimagined, and reappropriated by the...

Barnabé

Barnabé arrive à l’âge adulte. C’est un homme-enfant, un handicapé mental, qui découvre sa différence dans le regard des autres. Et le regard des autres, c’est surtout celui de Vanessa, la jolie métisse arrivée tout droit de la région parisienne, dont il tombe éperdument amoureux. Un handicapé mental amoureux d’elle ? Voilà qui fait bien rire Vanessa, et beaucoup souffrir Barnabé. Aussi, lorsqu’une série d’incendies volontaires se déclenche tout autour de Montdunon, il ne manque pas de témoins pour affirmer que l’on a vu Barnabé et son scooter rouge rôder aux alentours. Se vengerait-il des sarcasmes dont il est l’objet ? Ou bien fait-il un coupable idéal ? Barnabé est-il un incendiaire ou un bouc émissaire ? Il affirme qu’il est innocent, mais doit-on le croire simplement parce qu’il est handicapé ?
