Childhood in the Works of Silvina Ocampo and Alejandra Pizarnik
In the final analysis, Ocampo's works achieve equilibrium between childhood and age, whereas Pizarnik's much-discussed poetic crisis of exile from language itself parallels her deep sense of anxiety at being exiled from the world of childhood."--BOOK JACKET.
Política y tiempos del poema
¿Quiénes siguen leyendo la poesía de Juan Gelman, ya comenzada la tercera década del siglo XXI? Entre los motivos que nos impulsaron a proponer estas relecturas todavía, se cuenta precisamente la pregunta no solo por los modos en que se leyó y circuló su literatura en los últimos treinta años, sino a la vez la pregunta por la ubicación rara, insuficientemente pensada, como en desfase o a destiempo, de un autor de los sesenta que publicó un tercio de sus libros de poesía (una decena de títulos) entre 1993 y la primera década de este siglo. En este sentido, presentamos una obra que busca no solo revitalizar la obra de Gelman, sino también reflexionar sobre las razones que mantienen u poesía vigente y necesaria en la actualidad.
The Art of Transition
The Art of Transition addresses the problems defined by writers and artists during the postdictatorship years in Argentina and Chile, years in which both countries aggressively adopted neoliberal market-driven economies. Delving into the conflicting efforts of intellectuals to name and speak to what is real, Francine Masiello interprets the culture of this period as an art of transition, referring to both the political transition to democracy and the formal strategies of wrestling with this change that are found in the aesthetic realm. Masiello views representation as both a political and artistic device, concerned with the tensions between truth and lies, experience and language, and intell...
Taking Back the Streets
Toward the end of the twentieth century in places ranging from Latin America and the Caribbean to Europe, the United States, South Africa, Nigeria, Iran, Japan, China, and South Asia, women and young people took to the streets to fight injustices they believed they could not confront in any other way. In the hope of changing the way politics is done, they called officials to account for atrocities they had committed and unjust laws they had upheld. They attempted to drive authoritarian governments from power by publicizing the activities these officials tried to hide. This powerful book takes us into the midst of these movements to give us a close-up look at how a new generation bore witness...
Patria y muerte
Contra la tiranía del tema, los ensayos reunidos aquí procesan la transitada relación entre política y literatura con un despliegue de armas inusuales. Dalmaroni no teme al desacato ni a la imposición de sus obsesiones y arriesga la violencia de la escritura propia para dar cuenta de textos sinuosos y ya pensados antes. Volver a leer escribiendo parece ser la clave de Dalmaroni para sacudirles el polvo de la detención con el que ciertas miradas los dejaron acomodados en los estantes, en nombre de ideas de lo nacional que vencieron hace rato, o en la búsqueda de rejuntar a bárbaros y civilizados en un campo que proyecta su tensión hacia el presente abúlico de la novedad.

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.
City in Common
In this book James Scorer argues that culture remains a force for imagining inclusive urban futures based around what inhabitants of the city have in common. Using Buenos Aires as his case study, Scorer takes the urban commons to be those aspects of the city that are shared and used by its various communities. Exploring a hugely diverse set of works, including literature, film, and comics, and engaging with urban theory, political philosophy, and Latin American cultural studies, City in Common paints a portrait of the city caught between opposing forces. Scorer seeks out alternatives to the current trend in analysis of urban culture to read Buenos Aires purely through the lens of segregation, division, and enclosure. Instead, he argues that urban imaginaries can and often do offer visions of more open communities and more inclusive urban futures.
Madness and Irrationality in Spanish and Latin American Literature and Culture
This is the first monograph to consider the significance of madness and irrationality in both Spanish and Spanish American literature. It considers various definitions of ‘madness’ and explores the often contrasting responses, both positive (figural madness as stimulus for literary creativity) and negative (clinical madness representing spiritual confinement and sterility). The concept of national madness is explored with particular reference to Argentina: while, on the one hand, the country’s vast expanses have been seen as conducive to madness, the urban population of Buenos Aires, on the other, appears to be especially dependent on psychoanalytic therapy. The book considers both the work of lesser-known writers such as Nuria Amat, whose personal life is inflected by a form of literary madness, and that of larger literary figures such as José Lezama Lima, whose poetic concepts are suffused with the irrational. The conclusion draws attention to the ‘other side’ of reason as a source of possible originality in a world dominated by the tenets of logic and conventionalised thinking.
