Digital Encounters
To understand the creative fabric of digital networks, scholars of literary and cultural studies must turn their attention to crowdsourced forms of production, discussion, and distribution. Digital Encounters explores the influence of an increasingly networked world on contemporary Latin American cultural production. Drawing on a spectrum of case studies, the contributors to this volume examine literature, art, and political activism as they dialogue with programming languages, social media platforms, online publishing, and geospatial metadata. Implicit within these connections are questions of power, privilege, and stratification. The book critically examines issues of inequitable access and data privacy, technology’s capacity to divide people from one another, and the digital space as a site of racialized and gendered violence. Through an expansive approach to the study of connectivity, Digital Encounters illustrates how new connections – between analog and digital, human and machine, print text and pixel – alter representations of self, Other, and world.

The Chilean Dictatorship Novel
Though the civil-rights abuses by the Pinochet dictatorship in Chile (1973-1990) were later recognized by reparations and truth commissions, the difficult emotions suffered by the victims and their families were often pushed into the background or out of the national conversation entirely. In response, novelists began writing memory of feelings experienced during the dictatorship into their books. In The Chilean Dictatorship Novel, Weldt-Basson examines fifteen novels and one testimony written on the topic of dictatorship to illustrate how these Chilean narratives center on affect and emotions. Each chapter focuses on a different emotion: feelings of loss because of father abandonment and sp...
La pose autobiográfica
¿Puede la crítica literaria trazar la cartografía sensible de un país, de su historia, moralidad, costumbres, ritos, subjetividades? ¿Y puede hacerlo a partir de la “pose” autobiográfica, es decir, del modo en que toman cuerpo en la escritura las innúmeras máscaras del yo? Ese es el desafío y el don de este libro, que invita a recorrer borgeanamente senderos que se bifurcan, descubrir nuevos paisajes, escuchar otras voces, atisbar escenas a contrapelo, o, como dice esa intraducible expresión francesa, sous un autre jour.
The Making of Jorge Luis Borges as an Argentine Cultural Icon
Jorge Luis Borges is, undeniably, Argentina's best-known and most influential writer. In addition to scholarly studies of his work, his emblematic figure continues to appear on book covers and carrier bags, in biographies, plaques and statues, photographs and interviews, as well as cartoons and city tours. The Making of Jorge Luis Borges as an Argentine Cultural Icon argues that the ideas and expectations that Argentine people have placed upon the author - thus constructing the icon - are also those that allow them to define their cultural identity. The book examines these intertwined processes by analysing the image of Borges in biographies, photographs, comic strips and urban spaces and th...
A History of Chilean Literature
This book covers the heterogeneity of Chilean literary production from the times of the Spanish conquest to the present. It shifts critical focus from national identity and issues to a more multifaceted transnational, hemispheric, and global approach. Its emphasis is on the paradigm transition from the purportedly homogeneous to the heterogeneous.

Galería clausurada
En sus textos, Marina Latorre pone especial oído a los diálogos. Con frases y párrafos cortos, directos y sencillos, busca registrar, con pocas pinceladas y sin buscar necesariamente un verosímil literario, las atmósferas y las disputas en que se ven envueltos sus personajes. Como ayer, hoy siguen chocando una comprensión mercantilizada y elitista del arte, y otra de cuño romántico, progresista y liberador, que en los años de la década de 1960 tomó la forma de un “compromiso” social. Esta tensión anima muchos de estos relatos, en que chocan distintas voces en disputa.
