La presencia de Campeche en "Los grandes muertos" de Luisa Josefina Hernández
Una escritora que no tuvo tiempo -ni ganas-, de promoverse: le parecía deshonesto. Una escritora que las editoriales no supieron vender y que la crítica fue olvidando, Luisa Josefina Hernández es una de las mejores escritoras mexicanas del siglo xx, quizá la más llamativa porque dedicó su vida a la escritura, sin más recompensa que saber que escribía por enamoramiento literario, no por publicar.
Aralia en el corazón: trabajos críticos en su honor
Aralia en el corazón se ofrece como un volumen de homenaje a la profesora, ensayista, narradora y poeta cubano-mexicana Aralia López González (La Coruña, 1934-Ciudad de México, 2018), que reúne diversos textos: los trabajos críticos de diversas perspectivas que privilegian temas como el exilio, las escritoras, el ensayo, la crítica literaria latinoamericana; los dedicados a su fundacional ejercicio crítico feminista y a la creación del hoy taller Diana Morán; los acercamientos a su obra de ficción; un aparte de memorias y, finalmente, cierran el libro tres trabajos críticos de Aralia, representativos de ejes recurrentes de su ejercicio crítico y docente: la teoría, la narrativ...
Subterranean Space in Contemporary Mexico City Literature
This book studies the role of subterranean spaces in literary works about Mexico City. It analyzes how underground spaces such as the subway, the sewage system, tunnels, crypts, and the subsoil itself relate to the whole of the city in a body of works published after 1985, the year of the deadliest earthquake in the capital’s history. The texts belong to the most important genres in urban literature (the novel, the short story, and the crónica) and demonstrate the crucial role played by the underground in contemporary imaginings of the megalopolis, as it condenses and confronts the tensions that run through them. This central idea is developed through four analytical chapters focusing on the political, ecological, historical, and aesthetic dimension of subterranean imaginaries.

Mapping the Megalopolis
Mapping the Megalopolis: Order and Disorder in Mexico City brings the humanities and the social sciences into a conversation about Mexico City in its social, political, and aesthetic manifestations. Through a shared exploration of the order and disorder that mutually constitute the city, contributing authors engage topics such as the privatization of public space, challenges to existing conceptualizations of the urban form, and variations on the flâneur and other urban actors. Mexico City is truly a city of versions, and Mapping the Megalopolis celebrates the intersection of the image of the city and the lived experience of it. Readers will find substantive entries on a great variety of Mexico City’s monumental and counter-monumental spaces, as well as some of its pivotal contemporary debates and cultural products. The volume serves both as supplemental reading on the world city or the Latin American city, and as a central text in a multidisciplinary study of Mexico City.
The Art of Ana Clavel
Ana Clavel is a remarkable contemporary Mexican writer whose literary and multimedia oeuvre is marked by its queerness. The queer is evinced in the manner in which she disturbs conceptions of the normal not only by representing outlaw sexualities and dark desires but also by incorporating into her fictive and multimedia worlds that which is at odds with normalcy as evinced in the presence of the fantastical, the shadow, ghosts, cyborgs, golems and even urinals. Clavels literary trajectory follows a queer path in the sense that she has moved from singular modes of creative expression in the form of literary writing, a traditional print medium, towards other non-literary forms. Some of Clavels...
