The paths of two women from different walks of life intersect amid counterculture of the 1960s in this haunting and provocative novel from the National Book Award-winning author of The Friend It is Columbia University, 1968. Ann Drayton and Georgette George meet as roommates on the first night. Ann is rich and radical; Georgette is leery and introverted, a child of the very poverty and strife her new friend finds so noble. The two are drawn together by their differences; two years later, after a violent fight, they part ways. When, in 1976, Ann is convicted of killing a New York cop, Georgette comes back to their shared history in search of an explanation. She finds a riddle of a life, shape...
En esta densa y bella reflexión, Jens Andermann nos introduce en la lógica del trance, una forma de nombrar al nudo borromeo que enlaza el espacio y tiempo del sujeto con el de la comunidad, ambos escindidos por violentos desplazamientos e hiatos temporales. Así persigue un objeto desvaneciente que, hacia adelante, se dirige al hiperobjeto, el in-mundo postnatural, pero que, retrospectivamente, puede ser leído como el trazado de una historia natural del antropoceno. En la perspectiva del autor, se trata del relato de un repliegue, doblez del arte en relación a su marco institucional, y desdoblamiento de modos anteriores de postulación estética del mundo como "paisaje".

The whiteness of mainstream environmentalism often fails to account for the richness and variety of Latinx environmental thought. Building on insights of environmental justice scholarship as well as critical race and ethnic studies, the editors and contributors to Latinx Environmentalisms map the ways Latinx cultural texts integrate environmental concerns with questions of social and political justice. Original interviews with creative writers, including Cherríe Moraga, Helena María Viramontes, and Héctor Tobar, as well as new essays by noted scholars of Latinx literature and culture, show how Latinx authors and cultural producers express environmental concerns in their work. These chapters, which focus on film, visual art, and literature—and engage in fields such as disability studies, animal studies, and queer studies—emphasize the role of racial capitalism in shaping human relationships to the more-than-human world and reveal a vibrant tradition of Latinx decolonial environmentalism. Latinx Environmentalisms accounts for the ways Latinx cultures are environmental, but often do not assume the mantle of “environmentalism.”
