"The study concludes with a rereading of Teillier's poetry itself. Stojkov's analyses depend upon a sense of the subject's constituting consciousness and the ability of the reader to participate in it. Through the approach proposed here, she arrives at a method not only for reading Teillier's poetry, but also for evaluating its unique significance within both the national and international contexts."--BOOK JACKET.
Global in scope and multidisciplinary in approach, Creolization as Cultural Creativity explores the expressive forms and performances that come into being when cultures encounter one another. Creolization is presented as a powerful marker of identity in the postcolonial creole societies of Latin America, the Caribbean, and the southwest Indian Ocean region, as well as a universal process that can occur anywhere cultures come into contact. An extraordinary number of cultures from Haiti, Martinique, Guadeloupe, the southern United States, Trinidad and Tobago, Madagascar, Mauritius, Seychelles, Réunion, Puerto Rico, Argentina, Suriname, Jamaica, and Sierra Leone are discussed in these essays. ...
This volume of the Townsend Papers in the Humanities commemorates the twenty-fifth year of the Doreen B. Townsend Center for the Humanities at the University of California, Berkeley. As such, the volume is an attempt to capture the breadth and depth of lectures and events presented by the center. Many are revised versions of lectures and presentations organized in connection with the annual appointment of the Avenali Professor in the Humanities at Berkeley (generously funded by Joan and Peter Avenali), or Berkeley's Una's Lecturer (endowed in the memory of Una Smith Ross, Class of 1911); several are based on other events presented by the center over the years, such as the "Humanities Perspectives on Aging" program or the "Futures" lecture series organized to commemorate the center's tenth anniversary. All are the reflection of a public event before a live audience. We have chosen to retain references to the live event where they occur, though space limitations would not permit the inclusion of audience questions.

From the rise of the Pan-Maya Movement in Guatemala and the Zapatista uprising in Mexico to the Water and Gas Wars in Bolivia and the Idle No More movement in Canada, the turn of the twenty-first century has witnessed a notable surge in Indigenous political action as well as an outpouring of texts produced by Native authors and poets. Throughout the Americas—Abiayala, or the “Land of Plenitude and Maturity” in the Guna language of Panama—Indigenous people are raising their voices and reclaiming the right to represent themselves in politics as well as in creative writing. Revealing Rebellion in Abiayala explores the intersections between Indigenous literature and social movements over...
A pesar de todo, sigue siendo un poeta escasamente conocido en Hispanoamérica. Ha sido leído y estudiado en Chile, y su público mayoritario ha sido el del país. Pero no es extraño que así haya sido: la imposibilidad de traspasar las fronteras nacionales parece ser el destino de muchos de nuestros grandes poetas. Por lo mismo, se hace necesario pensarlos y estudiarlos dentro de la poesía hispanoamericana, verlos en conjunto con otros poetas de la misma lengua. Trabajos como la presente edición, Teillier Crítico, pueden ayudar a confirmar la actualidad de la obra de nuestros mejores poetas y a sitiarlos (a estas alturas quizás debiera decirse “exportarlos”) fuera de la tradición de la poesía chilena.
La aventura creadora de Teillier se remonta a la indagación originaria de lugares, momentos y situaciones que surgen desde el Sur mítico de la infancia para crear una atmósfera que se complementa con referencias literarias y que intenta exorcizar la caída de un mundo degradado con el hallazgo de un arraigo que es siempre efímero e ilusorio. Poesía que integra, junto a las plazas de provincia y los sentimientos adolescentes, el recuerdo de un mundo que se deshace en la memoria y que sirve de pretexto para remontarse a los símbolos universales de la experiencia humana: amor, tiempo, soledad, ausencia del paraíso, hastío de la vida y muerte.
