Unraveling the Real
"Unraveling the Real is a very readable, succinct introduction to the topic of the fantastic and its primary critics. Duncan presents a review of the texts on the fantastic and applies this trace to individual authors and film directors, narrative strategies, psychological processes, and gender issues. Her introduction is effective in establishing the borders and transgressions of the fantastic, and she is not afraid of moving from the literature of and on the fantastic to the questioning of cultural constructs. Her objective to emphasize the analysis of social criticism is an effective approach."--Enrique Sacerio-Gari, Dorothy Nepper Marshall Professor of Hispanic and Hispanic-American Studies, Bryn Mawr College.

New Directions in Flânerie
This book distinguishes itself from previous scholarship by offering an inclusive and comprehensive treatment of urban walking from 1800 to the present. Divided into three sections—geography, genius, and gender—the introduction establishes the origins of the flâneur and flâneuse in early foundational texts and explores later works that reimagine flânerie in terms of these same three themes. The volume’s contributors provide new and global perspectives on urban walking practices through their treatment of a variety of genres (literature, film, journalism, autobiography, epistolary correspondence, photography, fashion, music, digital media) and regions (Europe, Asia, the Americas, Africa, the Middle East). This volume theorizes well-known urban characters like the idler, lounger, dandy, badaud, promeneuse, shopper, collector, and detective and also proposes new iterations of the flâneur/flâneuse as fashion model, gaucho, cruiser, musician, vampire, postcolonial activist, video game avatar and gamer.
El legado de Macondo
GABRIEL GARCÍA MÁRQUEZ crea un particular tipo de escritura en la que lo sobrenatural, lo insólito, no es el otro lado, sino que se incorpora al plano de la realidad, de la cotidianidad. La magnitud de su obra, literaria y periodística, no cabe en la etiqueta fácil del "realismo mágico". A García Márquez no hay que simplificarlo con le mármol y la canonización. es necesario, eso sí, leerlo y releerlo, para advertir que su alquimia de gitano Caribe nos hace más humanos en tiempos aciagos de deshumanización. Ese es, precisamente, el propósito de la valoración múltiple que ofrece esta antología, a través de plumas tan destacadas como las de Rafael Gutiérrez Girardot, Jacques Joset, Hélène Pouliquen, Fabio Rodríguez Amaya, Julio Premat, José Manuel Camacho Delgado, Ramón Illán Bacca, entre otros.
The Cambridge Companion to Jorge Luis Borges
Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986) was one of the great writers of the twentieth century and the most influential author in the Spanish language of modern times. He had a seminal influence on Latin American literature and a lasting impact on literary fiction in many other languages. However, Borges has been accessible in English only through a number of anthologies drawn mainly from his work of the 1940s and 1950s. The primary aim of this Companion is to provide a more comprehensive account of Borges's oeuvre and the evolution of his writing. It offers critical assessments by leading scholars of the poetry of his youth and the later poetry and fiction, as well as of the 'canonical' volumes of the middle years. Other chapters focus on key themes and interests, and on his influence in literary theory and translation studies.
