Diamela Eltit
La producción literaria de Eltit ha generado una gran cantidad de apreciaciones críticas en muy diversos países. Las interpretaciones más populares y extendidas en todos ellos insisten en su feminismo, que primero lucha contra la dictadura de Pinochet y luego, contra el neoliberalismo. Esto hace que ella y sus textos sean percibidos como una voz minoritaria y contra hegemónica. Este volumen reúne casi una treintena de textos que actualizan o puntualizan tales apreciaciones.
Touched Bodies
Shortlisted for the 2020 Association for the Study of the Arts of the Present Book Prize Winner of the 2019 Art Journal Prize from the College Art Association What is the role of pleasure and pain in the politics of art? In Touched Bodies, Mara Polgovsky Ezcurra approaches this question as she examines the flourishing of live and intermedial performance in Latin America during times of authoritarianism and its significance during transitions to democracy. Based on original documents and innovative readings, her book brings politics and ethics to the discussion of artistic developments during the “long 1980s”. She describes the rise of performance art in the context of feminism, HIV-ac...
Thanks to Life
Chilean musician and artist Violeta Parra (1917–1967) is an inspiration to generations of artists and activists across the globe. Her music is synonymous with resistance, and it animated both the Chilean folk revival and the protest music movement Nueva Canción (New Song). Her renowned song “Gracias a la vida” has been covered countless times, including by Joan Baez, Mercedes Sosa, and Kacey Musgraves. A self-taught visual artist, Parra was the first Latin American to have a solo exhibition at the Museum of Decorative Arts in the Louvre. In this remarkable biography, Ericka Verba traces Parra’s radical life and multifaceted artistic trajectory across Latin America and Europe and on ...

Theorising the Ibero-American Atlantic
Theorising the Ibero-American Atlantic offers a fresh look at the Atlantic turn in Ibero-American Studies. Taking the criticisms launched at Atlantic Studies as a starting point, contributors query and explore the viability of the Ibero-American Atlantic as a framework of research. Their essays take stock of theories, methodologies, debates and trends in recent scholarship, and set down pathways for future research. As a result, the contributions in this volume establish the historical reality of the Ibero-American Atlantic as well as its tremendous value for scholarship. Contributors are Vanda Anastácio, Francisco Bethencourt, Harald E. Braun, David Brookshaw, Jorge Cañizares-Esguerra, Daniela Flesler, Andrew Ginger, Eliga Gould, David Graizbord, Thomas Harrington, Luis Martín-Cabrera, José C. Moya, Mauricio Nieto Olarte, Joan Ramon Resina, N. Michelle Shepherd, Lisa Vollendorf and Grady C. Wray.
The Generation of '72
Caught between the well-worn grooves the Boom and the Gen-X have left on the Latin American literary canon, the writing intellectuals that comprise what the Generation of '72 have not enjoyed the same editorial acclaim or philological framing as the literary cohorts that bookend them. In sociopolitical terms, they neither fed into the Cold War-inflected literary prizes that sustained the Boom nor the surge in cultural capital in Latin American cities from which the writers associated with the Crack and McOndo have tended to write. This book seeks to approach the Generation of '72 from the perspective of cosmopolitanism and global citizenship, a theoretical framework that lends a fresh and critical architecture to the unique experiences and formal responses of a group of intellectuals that wrote alongside globalization's first wave.
Latin American Marxisms in Context
In recent decades, the global North has been engulfed by neoliberalism. Neoliberal ideas have dominated the economy and public policies, and have become deeply entrenched as “common sense.” Latin America has not been immune to this trend. However, at the same time, governments and popular mobilizations across the continent have actively resisted and challenged neoliberalism. Countries such as Venezuela and Bolivia have sometimes been grouped under the label of a “pink tide,” denoting their leftist alignment and their resistance to the Washington-led neoliberal consensus. This opposition to neoliberal development patterns in Latin America has gone beyond social-democratic reformism to a revival of Marxist theoretical perspectives and political practices. This book provides an insight into the rich diversity of Latin American Marxism, historically and contemporarily. Given the global interest in the revival of radicalism in Latin America, it will appeal to a wide audience, and should be of interest to non-Marxist as well as Marxist scholars with interests in topics from political economy to cultural theory.
Leche amarga
La autora impone lo que se denomina la "nueva critica", resultado una lectura analítica de novelas chilenas y acopio de textos y texturas, relacionando ficción e historia, poder y cuerpos, literatura y crítica literaria.
La rueda mágica
Versos tomados de canciones chilenas inspiran, presentan e impulsan varios pasajes de este libro, compuesto por textos que demuestran que incluso miradas de especialidad y origen distantes entre sí pueden tener una convincente referencia común a un flujo de poesía cantada y a reflexiones con buen ritmo, esencial a nuestra cultura popular. Ese cruce entre pensamiento y canción, entre la elaboración propia y la síntesis ajena, no es el único estímulo en la lectura, pero de todos modos resulta elocuente del desprejuicio y fuerza que guía al libro completo. Hay hondura y hay provocación en los permisos que cada autor se da para dejar ideas nuevas de consulta, con una viva invitación a textos por venir.
