Hojas / Leaves
ROSARIO HIRIART ha publicado libros muy diferentes. En todos ellos manifiesta su total independencia de pensamiento y un repetido compromiso de lucha contra todo sistema de opresión. En este libro de modo particular, ofrece una vez más su visión acerca de los problemas socio políticos de nuestro tiempo, lejos de todo partidismo e ideologías personales. Con agudeza y ojo crítico invita a pensar ante lo que nos rodea: espacios llenos de luz u oscuros rincones que se han ido levantando en nuestro entorno. La obra creativa de HIRIART está siempre bien escrita, amplía horizontes. Una vez más en lograda síntesis, y no obstante como contradicción, ésta, implica su capacidad de sugerenci...

Tropics of Desire
While not on the scale of their European and North American counterparts, gays and lesbians have become increasingly open and visible in urban Latin America, with large public displays recently held in Buenos Aires, Mexico, Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. This increased visibility is forcing the general public to come to terms with what has, until now, been a silent part of their population. This book takes a personal look at the activities of Latin America's homosexual community, and the varying perception of it by the populace as a whole. c. Book News Inc.

The Lights of Home
Because of political, cultural, or economic difficulties in their homelands, Latin American writers have often sought refuge abroad. Their independent searches for a haven in which to write often ended in Paris, long a city of writes in exile. This is more than solely a group biography of these writers or an explication of material they wrote about Paris; it is also a luminous account of the work they wrote while in Paris, often based in their homelands. It explores how Paris reacted to this wave of Latin American writers and how these writers absorbed Parisian influences and welded them to their own traditions setting the stage for immense success and power of works coming from Central and South America over the last half of the twentieth century.
Entiendes?
"¿Entiendes?" is literally translated as "Do you understand? Do you get it?" But those who do "get it" will also hear within this question a subtler meaning: "Are you queer? Are you one of us?" The issues of gay and lesbian identity represented by this question are explored for the first time in the context of Spanish and Hispanic literature in this groundbreaking anthology. Combining intimate knowledge of Spanish-speaking cultures with contemporary queer theory, these essays address texts that share both a common language and a concern with lesbian, gay, and bisexual identities. Using a variety of approaches, the contributors tease the homoerotic messages out of a wide range of works, from...
Conversaciones con Francisco Ayala
Este libro es fruto, no solo de la larga amistad de la autora con el escritor, sino también de los muchos años que dedicara ella al análisis de su obra narrativa. Amén de numerosos artículos, Rosario Hiriart ha publicado dos libros monográficos, ambos en el año 1972, que a día de hoy siguen siendo de consulta indispensable: Las alusiones literarias en la obra narrativa de Francisco Ayala y Los recursos técnicos en la novelística de Francisco Ayala. Publicada inicialmente en la colección Austral de Espasa Calpe en el año 1982, la presente edición se completa con otros dos textos: el de una Conversación{OCLCbr#BB} más que en otra ocasión sostuviera con Ayala la autora, Rosario Hiriart, acerca de La vida por la opinión{OCLCbr#BB}; y el de este mismo relato, fechado en 1955 y que a partir de 1968 quedaría incorporado al libro La cabeza del cordero.
Across Borders
While work in theology and religious studies by scholars in Latin America and by Latino/a scholars in the United States has made substantial contributions to the current scholarship in the field, there are few projects where scholars from these various contexts are working together. Across Borders:Latin Perspectives in the Americas Reshaping Religion, Theology, and Life is unique, as it brings leading scholars from both worlds into the conversation. The chapters of this book deal with the complexities of solidarity, the intersections of the popular and the religious, the example of Afro-Cubanisms, the meaning of popular liberation struggles, Hispanic identity formation at the U.S. border, and the unique promise of studying religion and theology in the tensions between North and South in the Americas.
