Samurai in the Land of the Gaucho
In the early twentieth century, historical imaginings of Japan contributed to the Argentine vision of “transpacific modernity." Intellectuals such as Eduardo Wilde and Manuel Domecq García celebrated Japanese customs and traditions as important values that can be integrated into Argentine society. But a new generation of Nikkei or Japanese Argentines is rewriting this conventional narrative in the twenty-first century. Nikkei writers such as Maximiliano Matayoshi and Alejandra Kamiya are challenging the earlier, unapologetic view of Japan based on their own immigrant experiences. Compared to the experience of political persecution against Japanese immigrants in Brazil and Peru, the Japane...
A Cultural History of Spanish Speakers in Japan
Beginning in 1990, thousands of Spanish speakers emigrated to Japan. A Cultural History of Spanish Speakers in Japan focuses on the intellectuals, literature, translations, festivals, cultural associations, music (bolero, tropical music, and pop, including reggaeton), dance (flamenco, tango and salsa), radio, newspapers, magazines, libraries, and blogs produced in Spanish, in Japan, by Latin Americans and Spaniards who have lived in that country over the last three decades. Based on in-depth research in archives throughout the country as well as field work including several interviews, Japanese-speaking Mexican scholar Araceli Tinajero uncovers a transnational, contemporary cultural history that is not only important for today but for future generations.
Gaijin
Gaijin, que en japonés significa "extranjero", es una producción felizmente entregada a descubrir el mundo y las fascinaciones de un otro. Narrada al mejor estilo nikkei, por su austeridad y refrenamiento enunciativos, propone un mensaje de permanencia que sobrevuela como una alarma ante el imperio de lo pasatista, de la vacuidad y del desamparo. Con esta novela ganadora del premio UNAM-Alfaguara en 2002, Maximiliano Matayoshi logra conmover, al tiempo que nos devela con amabilidad la condición del inmigrante, de gran relevancia en todas las culturas y en todas las épocas
Contemporary Argentine Women Filmmakers
This edited volume offers a wide-ranging picture of Argentine women filmmakers’ contribution to the film industry from the 1980s to the present by bringing together the work of highly acclaimed and emerging directors. Through thirteen critical essays by leading scholars in the field of Argentine cinema, the book acknowledges that contemporary women filmmakers have transformed the cinema of Argentina by questioning, challenging and debunking hegemonic patriarchal systems of representation. With a focus on women’s voices and experiences, the contributions redress both the under-representation of women and girls onscreen and the perpetuation of stereotypes, while exploring the innovative aesthetics used by these filmmakers.
A History of Argentine Literature
Argentine Literature continues to figure prominently in academic programs in the English-speaking world, and it has an increasing presence in English translation in international prizes and trade journals. A History of Argentine Literature proposes a major reimagining of Argentine literature attentive to production in indigenous and migration languages and to current debates in Literary Studies. Panoramic in scope and incisive in its in-depth studies of authors, works, and theoretical problems, this volume builds on available scholarship on canonical works but opens up the field to include a more diverse rendering as well as engaging with the full spectrum of textual interventions from travel writing to drama, from popular 'gauchesca' to celebrated avant guard works Working at the crossroads of disciplines, languages and critical traditions, this book accounts for the wealth of Argentine cultural production and maps the rich, diverse and often overlooked history of Argentine literature.
The Oxford Handbook of the Latin American Novel
The Latin American novel burst onto the international literary scene with the Boom era--led by Julio Cortázar, Gabriel García Márquez, Carlos Fuentes, and Mario Vargas Llosa--and has influenced writers throughout the world ever since. García Márquez and Vargas Llosa each received the Nobel Prize in literature, and many of the best-known contemporary novelists are inspired by the region's fiction. Indeed, magical realism, the style associated with García Márquez, has left a profound imprint on African American, African, Asian, Anglophone Caribbean, and Latinx writers. Furthermore, post-Boom literature continues to garner interest, from the novels of Roberto Bolaño to the works of Cés...
El hechizo del verano
La felicidad puede encontrarse en una pista de patinaje sobre hielo, no importa las veces que caigas ni lo estrepitosas que sean las caídas. En hacer un muñeco de nieve, o en revisitar argumentos para convencer a una amiga rusa de lo apasionantes que son las novelas de Jane Austen, o en descubrir el erotismo de los Juegos Olímpicos mientras se intenta aprender a tirar con arco y flecha. «Qué maravilla estar entre humanos y no entender nada», afirma Virginia Higa en el primer párrafo, regalándonos casi sin proponérselo una contraseña de lectura para este libro repleto de asombros e impresiones. Unos meses antes de publicar Los sorrentinos, su aclamada primera novela, Virginia Higa s...
La creación de Eva
"¿Dios operado? ¿Dios mujer? ¿Convertido en Días? (con acento, para reforzar la polisemia). Las novelas de Federico Jeanmaire siempre son una sorpresa. Las espero como pan caliente. Es uno de los escritores que mejor se lleva puesta la actualidad, combinándola con su lectura de los clásicos, y transformándola en literaria. Sus abordajes son tiernos y satíricos, sabe jugar con los ecos de la lengua y las costumbres humanas, ubicándose en la discordia del presente. La creación de Eva es una de sus mayores apuestas, conmovedora, brutal. Una mezcolanza fabulosa entre cuerpo y discurso, religión, amor y goce sexual. Así, el cambio de género se manifiesta en su doble acepción: géner...
