Geschichten aus Nicaragua
Nach Jahrzehnten der Befreiungskämpfe und Revolutionen ist Mittelamerika geprägt durch die Suche nach Jobs in den USA, den Drogenhandel, die damit zusammenhängende Gewalt, eine neue Armut und den Zerfall traditioneller Strukturen, denen sich neue, globalisierte Verhältnisse überstülpen. Diese Geschichten aus Nicaragua stammen aus dem Sammelband Zwischen Süd und Nord, herausgegeben von Sergio Ramírez.
The Contemporary Spanish-American Novel
The Contemporary Spanish-American Novel provides an accessible introduction to an important World literature. While many of the authors covered—Aira, Bolaño, Castellanos Moya, Vásquez—are gaining an increasing readership in English and are frequently taught, there is sparse criticism in English beyond book reviews. This book provides the guidance necessary for a more sophisticated and contextualized understanding of these authors and their works. Underestimated or unfamiliar Spanish American novels and novelists are introduced through conceptually rigorous essays. Sections on each writer include: *the author's reception in their native country, Spanish America, and Spain *biographical history *a critical examination of their work, including key themes and conceptual concerns *translation history *scholarly reception The Contemporary Spanish-American Novel offers an authoritative guide to a rich and varied novelistic tradition. It covers all demographic areas, including United States Latino authors, in exploring the diversity of this literature and its major themes, such as exile, migration, and gender representation.

A landmark encyclopedia on Nicaragua's diverse levels of cultural expression, including history, geographic diversity (Litoral del Pacífico, Centro, Norte y Litoral del Caribe) and information on cultural groups by activity (art, theatre, dance, etc.).

The essays range from colonial domination and international struggles over territorial claims, to a meditation on the politics of location, to the issue of spatial representation of mature-age women and gay men within a dialectic of visibility/invisibility in Spanish theatre and cinema."--Jacket.

A partir de un aparato teorico polifacetico y propuestas esteticas diversas, Escritura(s) en femenino en las literaturas centroamericanas. Una cuestion de genero? reflexiona sobre las interrelaciones, intersecciones y diferencias entre la escritura femenina, la escritura de mujer(es) y las escrituras en femenino, en la Centroamerica contemporanea y sus diasporas. Asumiendo el caracter performatico tanto de las categorias de sexo y genero (gender) como de la escritura, se estudia la desestabilizacion de nociones binarias y esencialistas y la consiguiente desvinculacion entre, por un lado, la escritura y, por el otro, la (supuesta) identidad sexual y de genero. De esta forma, los ensayos aqui reunidos retoman e indagan las interrogantes fundamentales de las teorias y la critica feministas para examinar la movilidad de lo femenino y lo masculino en la escritura, asi como sus configuraciones culturales y politicas.
Fábula del Poder
A noncommissioned officer of the Nicaraguan National Guard travels to New York to meet the famous bodybuilder, Charles Atlas. When he approaches his hero, he finds a body pierced with syringes and tubes, a cyborg of fragile artificial life. In the garden of a Central American dictator’s mansion, a prisoner is locked in a cage next to a lion’s. Nature and animal instinct will take their course. In post-Sandinista Nicaragua, an amputee policeman must face—alone and wounded—a drug gang commanded by his former guerrilla leader. Despite the gravity and violence present in many of Sergio Ramírez Mercado’s short stories and novels, his writing is governed by irony and parody. Fábula del...
