Jewish Literatures in Spanish and Portuguese
This volume offers a thorough introduction to Jewish world literatures in Spanish and Portuguese, which not only addresses the coexistence of cultures, but also the functions of a literary and linguistic space of negotiation in this context. From the Middle Ages to present day, the compendium explores the main Jewish chapters within Spanish- and Portuguese-language world literature, whether from Europe, Latin America, or other parts of the world. No comprehensive survey of this area has been undertaken so far. Yet only a broad focus of this kind can show how diasporic Jewish literatures have been (and are ) – while closely tied to their own traditions – deeply intertwined with local and global literary developments; and how the aesthetic praxis they introduced played a decisive, formative role in the history of literature. With this epistemic claim, the volume aims at steering clear of isolationist approaches to Jewish literatures.
The Oxford Handbook of Gabriel García Márquez
This Handbook offers a comprehensive examination of Gabriel García Márquez's life, oeuvre, and legacy, the first such work since his death in 2014. It incorporates ongoing critical approaches such as feminism, ecocriticism, Marxism, and ethnic studies, while elucidating key aspects of his work, such as his Caribbean-Colombian background; his use of magical realism, myth, and folklore; and his left-wing political views. Thirty-two wide-ranging chapters coverthe bulk of the author's writings, giving special attention to the global influence of García Márquez.
Gabriel García Márquez in Retrospect
Gabriel Garcia Marquez in Retrospect gathers fifteen essays by noted scholars in the fields of Latin American literature, politics, and theater. The volume offers broad overviews of the Colombian author’s total body of work, along with closer looks at some of his acknowledged masterpieces. The Nobel laureate’s cultural contexts and influences, his variety of themes, and his formidable legacy (Hispanic, U.S., world-wide) all come up for consideration. New readings of One Hundred Years of Solitude are further complemented by fresh, stimulating, highly detailed examinations of his later novels (Chronicle of a Death Foretold, The General in His Labyrinth, Of Love and Other Demons) and storie...
Gabriel García Márquez
A más de dos años de la desaparición de Gabriel García Márquez los trabajos aquí reunidos presentan lecturas diversas de periodistas, profesores y escritores alrededor de la persona y la obra de más relieve en la cultura colombiana, Si el título de este libro une el nombre del escritor a la conjunción de literatura y memoria es porque el hijo mayor del telegrafista de Aracataca nos enseñó a contemplar en sus tramas, metáforas e imágenes esa reunión de realidades e irrealidades que es nuestra historia.
Activism through Poetry
Activism through Poetry: Critical Spanish Poems in Translation is a compiled anthology of translated poems, which explore cultural, political, social, and ecological issues in the context of contemporary Spain. The work highlights the active role that poetry plays in the debate of these issues. The anthology begins with an introduction, which provides a theoretical framework and a critical analysis of each poem. It is an important contribution in the academic context and also in the more general context of international social and political action. It constitutes the first bilingual translation of selected poems written by well-known and emergent contemporary critical poets from Spain. The f...
Romper el límite. La poesía de Roberto Juarroz
A la manera del Livre mallarmeano, la escritura de Roberto Juarroz (1925-1995), de una formidable coherencia, se sostiene sobre un entramado frágil e inestable apuntalado sobre la inversión conceptual y, aunque haya sido considerada como una poesía del pensamiento, filosófica, metafísica o cerebral, lo cierto es que esas etiquetas resultan demasiado rígidas al aplicarse a una propuesta entendida como una aventura a la intemperie y orientada hacia la ruptura de los límites, un lenguaje que no rebla en la voluntad de explorar un territorio, la profundidad, en donde la conciencia se disuelve, las palabras se adelgazan hasta casi desaparecer y cabe la posibilidad de, al no haber nada, encontrarlo todo.
La magia cuántica de Haruki Murakami
A diferencia de los grandes nombres de la posguerra japonesa, que como Kenzaburō Ōe se empeñaban en redefinir Japón tras el durísimo trauma histórico que supuso el año 1945, Murakami pertenece a una generación que ya no tiene en tan alta estima los sólidos fundamentos filosóficos y culturales de los que bebieron los autores anteriores, y desde sus comienzos literarios escribe para un público nacido varios años después (incluso décadas) del fin del conflicto bélico. […] Su obra intuye los grandes poderes fácticos que, aparentemente de forma inescrutable o mágica, mueven los hilos del mundo sin que ninguno de los ciudadanos comunes pueda barruntar siquiera dónde se anclan e...
Más perenne que el bronce. El discurso autopoético en la lírica española contemporánea
Los diversos formatos en los que el ser humano ha materializado la escritura –el papiro, el pergamino, el papel e, incluso, una hoja de procesador de textos– poseen una naturaleza fungible. Infinitas amenazas salen al paso del soporte de lo artístico: el olvido que conlleva el devenir temporal, las catástrofes imprevistas (como los incendios de bibliotecas, un virus informático) y las destrucciones intencionales conforman un breve muestrario. A pesar de todo, se dijo de la poesía que era “más perenne que el bronce”, que podría durar más que las estatuas o que las superficies exclusivas sobre las que se grababa un acontecimiento importante. En este libro se estudian el funciona...
