Diary
Just before the outbreak of World War II, young Witold Gombrowicz left his home in Poland and set sail for South America. In 1953, still living as an expatriate in Argentina, he began his Diary with one of literature's most memorable openings: "Monday Me. Tuesday Me. Wednesday Me. Thursday Me." Gombrowicz's Diary grew to become a vast collection of essays, short notes, polemics, and confessions on myriad subjects ranging from political events to literature to the certainty of death. Not a traditional journal, Diary is instead the commentary of a brilliant and restless mind. Widely regarded as a masterpiece, this brilliant work compelled Gombrowicz's attention for a decade and a half until he penned his final entry in France, shortly before his death in 1969. Long out of print in English, Diary is now presented in a convenient single volume featuring a new preface by Rita Gombrowicz, the author's widow and literary executor. This edition also includes ten previously unpublished pages from the 1969 portion of the diary.

The Lust of Seeing
The Lust of Seeing is the most comprehensive work on Hernandez to date, elucidating aspects of Hernandez's life and writing that have remained untreated or undertreated by previous criticism. The book's theoretical and comparative discussions also make The Lust of Seeing relevant reading well beyond Hernandez studies, particularly for readers interested in psychoanalysis, myth and ritual, fantastic literature, women's studies, film studies, and textual theory.

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...

Camino al ejercicio profesional
Este libro revisa la historia de algunas profesiones para los casos argentino y chileno. Se analiza cómo algunas profesiones, en rigor, se definían como la extensión formal de tareas de cuidado que histórica y naturalmente se les atribuían a las mujeres como propias, por ejemplo, las de enfermeras, parteras o asistentes sociales, y cómo las médicas se apropiaron de esas concepciones para trazar sus carreras políticas. Asimismo se describen profesiones que exploran nuevos caminos como los emprendidos por maestras, escritoras y editoras, vendedoras o secretarias del comercio urbano establecido. Finalmente, se auscultan las trayectorias laborales de los trabajadores ferroviarios y de los choferes y los encargados de casas, todos ellos empeñados en poner en valor sus particulares ocupaciones.
