Publicada originalmente en el año 1933 en la mítica editorial Tor, esta novela condensa y anticipa buena parte de los tópicos que dan cuenta de la crueldad del capitalismo: abusos de poder, humillaciones e injusticias. Lejos del sentimentalismo, esta obra incorpora una serie de "desvíos" del simple denuncialismo, que la acercan a la mejor de la tradición del realismo en la literatura argentina. Como sostiene Tania Diz en el prólogo, Carnelli quiere dar testimonio, pero a la vez intoduce algunas variantes más que interesantes: por un lado, la voz naradora, que de a poco se va conviertiendo en una voz colectiva, de la de todos aquellos que sufren los mismos males. Como si intentara construir una voz social, polifónica. Por otra parte, el hecho de que la protagonista sea mujer conlleva un fuerte posicionamiento sobre aquellas situaciones o sentimientos por una cuestión que está más ligada al género que a la condición social. En esa fusión entre la condición femenina y la crisis social radica el principal valor de esta novela.
The Middle Classes in Latin America
As a collective effort, this volume locates the formation of the middle classes at the core of the histories of Latin America in the last two centuries. Featuring scholars from different places across the Americas, it is an interdisciplinary contribution to the world histories of the middle classes, histories of Latin America, and intersectional studies. It also engages a larger audience about the importance of the middle classes to understand modernity, democracy, neoliberalism, and decoloniality. By including research produced from a variety of Latin American, North American, and other audiences, the volume incorporates trends in social history, cultural studies and discursive theory. It situates analytical categories of race and gender at the core of class formation. This volume seeks to initiate a critical and global conversation concerning the ways in which the analysis of the middle classes provides crucial re-readings of how Latin America, as a region, has historically been understood.
Performing Women and Modern Literary Culture in Latin America
Women have always been the muses who inspire the creativity of men, but how do women become the creators of art themselves? This was the challenge faced by Latin American women who aspired to write in the 1920s and 1930s. Though women's roles were opening up during this time, women writers were not automatically welcomed by the Latin American literary avant-gardes, whose male members viewed women's participation in tertulias (literary gatherings) and publications as uncommon and even forbidding. How did Latin American women writers, celebrated by male writers as the "New Eve" but distrusted as fellow creators, find their intellectual homes and fashion their artistic missions? In this innovat...
Troilo. A Theory of Everything
Writing about Troilo over a century after his birth and nearly fifty years after his death implies a certainty: the artist, who performed with him, in all but a few cases, no longer exist. That vast absence compels us to seek Troilo where he never left: the music. “Troilo: Biography of Argentina” is a music book, but also a precise and rigorous painting of a mobilized, vigorous and encompassing country where culture –and tango– were in the spotlight. It might well be read as a text that uncovers the keys of growth and decline of Argentina
The Spanish American Novel
In The Spanish American Novel, John S. Brushwood analyzes the twentieth-century Spanish American novel as an artistic expression of social reality. In relating the generic history of the novel to extraliterary events in Spanish America, he shows how twentieth-century fiction sets forth the essence of such phenomena as the first Perón regime, the Mexican Revolution, the Che Guevara legend, indigenismo, and the strongman political type. In essence, he views the novel as art rather than as document, but not as art alienated from society. The discussion is organized chronologically, opening with the turn of the century and focusing on novels from 1900 to 1915 that exemplify various aspects of t...
Una miliciana en la Columna de Hierro
En este libro encontrará el lector la demostración con pruebas irrefutables de la inocencia de María, una joven anarquista que, en defensa de la República y de sus ideales, se incorporó a la Columna de Hierro. Fue herida en Puerto Escandón (Teruel), permaneció varios meses en el Hospital de Valencia, trabajó en la siderúrgica saguntina convertida en fábrica de material de guerra y fue detenida y juzgada en consejo de guerra que la condenaría a muerte. Fue ejecutada en Paterna el 8 de agosto de 1942. Se reproducen los documentos más importantes de este consejo sumarísimo y se rebaten, una a una, todas las acusaciones vertidas sobre la protagonista de la historia. Fueron muchos los condenados a muerte en consejos de guerra que eran una auténtica farsa, muchos los que cargaban con crímenes que no habían cometido. En el caso de “la Jabalina” se ha podido demostrar la falsedad de las acusaciones, el vil asesinato en que se convirtió la ejecución, en los muros del cementerio de Paterna, de esta joven anarquista, y la sangrienta farsa que se representaba en estos consejos de guerra en los que la justicia siempre estaba ausente.

Women Writers of Spanish America
The countries of Spanish America have a history of women's literature that is full, varied, and, until now, undocumented in English. The largest collection of its kind, this annotated bio-bibliographical guide lists over one thousand authors and their works, with selected introductory annotations for the better known authors. Included are fictional works dealing primarily with women, women's literature, feminism, and the condition of women, with a separate index of anthologies.
The Passion of Music and Dance
The late nineteenth century witnessed the birth and popularization of a number of highly emotional musical styles that played on the eagerness of modern Europeans and Americans to toy with the limits of sanity and to taste the ecstasies of living on the edge. This absorbing book explores these popular, passionate musical styles -- which include flamenco, tango and rebetika -- and points out that they arose as well-intentioned intellectuals co-opted the emotional experiences most closely associated with women. In drawing those experiences out of female practice, they defined, objectified, and turned them into strategies of domination, the deepest impact of which was felt, ironically, by modern women.In bridging anthropology, sociology, cultural, media, body and gender studies, this book broadens the base of theory which has ignored the transnational world of Latin and Mediterranean popular culture and makes a powerful statement about the intersection of nationalism, sexuality, identity and authenticity.
