Imaginación y escritura/ Imagination and writing
El presente libro ofrece un panorama crítico de estos problemas recordando la importancia de la imaginación para el desarrollo de la escritura y el acceso a nuevos conocimientos sobre la lengua y la literatura.
Approaches to the History of Written Culture
This book investigates the history of writing as a cultural practice in a variety of contexts and periods. It analyses the rituals and practices determining intimate or ‘ordinary’ writing as well as bureaucratic and religious writing. From the inscribed images of ‘pre-literate’ societies, to the democratization of writing in the modern era, access to writing technology and its public and private uses are examined. In ten studies, presented by leading historians of scribal culture from seven countries, the book investigates the uses of writing in non-alphabetical as well as alphabetical script, in societies ranging from Native America and ancient Korea to modern Europe. The authors emphasise the material characteristics of writing, and in so doing they pose questions about the definition of writing itself. Drawing on expertise in various disciplines, they give an up-to-date account of the current state of knowledge in a field at the forefront of ‘Book History’.
Argentina's Partisan Past
Argentina's Partisan Past is a challenging new study about the production, spread, and use of national history and identity for political purposes in twentieth-century Argentina. Based on extensive study of primary and published sources, it analyzes how nationalist views about what it meant to be Argentine were built into the country's long protracted crisis of liberal democracy from the 1930s to the 1980s. Eschewing the notion of any straightforward relationship between cultural customs and political practices, the study seeks instead to provide a more nuanced framework for understanding the interplay between politics and narratives about national history. The book is a valuable resource to both students of Argentine history and those interested in the ways in which nationalism has shaped our contemporary world.
Specular City
A sweeping account of one of the cultural centers of Latin America, Specular City tells the history of Buenos Aires during the interregnum after Juan Perón's fall from power and before his restoration. During those two decades, the city experienced a rapid metamorphosis at the behest of its middle class citizens, who were eager to cast off the working-class imprint left by the Perónists. Laura Podalsky discusses the ways in which the proliferation of skyscrapers, the emergence of car culture, and the diffusion of an emerging revolution in the arts helped transform Buenos Aires, and, in so doing, redefine Argentine collective history.More than a cultural and material history of this city, this book also presents Buenos Aires as a crucible for urban life. Examining its structures through films, literatures, new magazines, advertising and architecture, Specular City reveals the prominent place of Buenos Aires in the massive changes that Latin America underwent for a new, modern definition of itself.

Historia de la enseñanza de la lengua y la literatura
Maestros, profesores y padres, todos aquellos que se interesan por la educación sienten nostalgia por un pasado concebido como edad dorada en la cual todos leían y escribían, ninguno tenía dificultades para vincularse con la cultura escrita, los chicos llegaban alfabetizados a la escuela, ser docente no sólo era una forma de ascender socialmente sino también un trabajo donde no era necesario inventar, constantemente, nuevos modos de enseñar porque los chicos aprendían como sin querer. ¿Cuánto hay de cierto en estas afirmaciones? ¿Todos –inmigrantes, obreros, artesanos, albañiles– tenían las oportunidades para acceder a los mismos saberes? ¿Los alumnos aprendían sin darse c...
A Turbulent Decade Remembered
A Turbulent Decade Remembered studies the 1960s--the continental moment that marked Latin America's full entry into both modernity and post-modernity in the international arena. Delving into scenes of importance for the intersection of aesthetics and politics, the book addresses the impact of the Cuban Revolution on the imagination of the decade, the student movements of 1968 in their international context, and the tragic events of Tlatelolco, memorialized in different ways by Mexico's greatest intellectuals. In examining the construction of the great novels usually identified as the "Boom," the book revises the critical tradition established since the late sixties, rethinking the oft-cited "magical realism," while considering the role of the press, prizes, gendered networks of solidarity and competition, and the emergence of a literary star system. The implications of all these forces of the republic of letters are set in dialogue with an analysis of the major novels of the decade, with particular attention to their literary craft, their manipulation of space, voice, and varied readerships.

Abrir el mundo desde el ojo del poema
Abrir el mundo desde el ojo del poema reúne seis ensayos en los que Alicia Genovese indaga en las posibilidades de acción de la poesía, que "podría entenderse como el lenguaje que intenta decir, sin ser aplastado por lo dicho". Ha estudiado esta lengua del asombro desde distintos divisaderos: la docencia, los viajes, el ensayo y la escritura de poesía, y en esta obra se ocupa de explorar el sitio donde la poesía abre un mundo y lo vuelve más habitable. Desplegando con solvencia sus hipótesis de lectura, se ocupa aquí de piezas de poetas como Juan Gelman, Héctor Viel Temperley, Susana Thénon, Liliana Ancalao, José Watanabe o Marosa di Giorgio. ¿Cómo aparece la idea de un poema? ...
