Asesinos

Autor: Álvaro Abós

Número de Páginas: 652

Este libro pasea por todos las formas posibles de narrar el crimen: a veces por la voz de un testigo que puede ser la voz de un narrador impersonal, a veces por la voz de la víctima, a veces por la voz del asesino, sin excluir una experiencia notable: en uno de los cuentos que integran esta antología, la víctima será... el propio lector. El volumen ofrece crímenes narrados por Edgar Allan Poe, Horacio Quiroga, Marqués de Sade, Anton Chejov, Bram Stoker, Ricardo Güiraldes, Italo Svevo y muchos otros. Estos relatos sobre crímenes revelan algunas lecciones sobre la literatura, como por ejemplo que casi toda narración tiene un argumento a la vista y otro escondido, y que, a veces, los criminales no son los que empuñan la daga o aprietan el gatillo.

The Self of the City

Autor: Todd S. Garth

Número de Páginas: 252

"The Self of the City shows Macedonio's work to be a highly systematic effort to "save the city" from the ills of modernity. Responding directly to the context of early twentieth-century Buenos Aires, Macedonio rejects modern culture as inherently paradoxical and pernicious, hinging on the unsustainable fallacy of Descartes' autonomous self."

Enonciation

Autor: Sophie Fisher

Número de Páginas: 260

"Les méandres des chemins, la fascination pour l'évanescence de la parole, l'envie de cerner, de coincer, peut-être même de comprendre les fonctionnements du langage, expliquent ces textes. "Cause toujours ! Mais de quoi ? Comment ?". Voilà peut-être une manière détournée d'aborder la question de la référenciation. Cette analyse est volontairement placée sous les auspices d'une démarche rigoureuse, celles de Peirce et de Strawson d'une part, mais aussi - et surtout - celle de Frege qui aborde les relations entre concept et objet et entre sens et signification, le fonctionnement langagier lui servant de guide. Ainsi, entre mots, phrases, énoncés, séquences, se constituent autant d'objets étranges que la démarche linguistique parcourt pour en donner raison. Marches et démarches. Les "lieux" de notre objet ne sont pas homogènes comme ne l'est pas la pratique langagière, faite de tâtonnements et d'ajustements : du "petit", articulé dans un ensemble de contraintes, comme pronoms, relateurs, opérateurs, aux "grands", séquences discursives imbriquées. Non seulement "en langue" mais "en monde". Comme le souligne dans sa préface Antoine Culioli, "cette recherche...

Argentine Workers

Autor: Peter Ranis

Número de Páginas: 333

Argentine Workers provides an insightful analysis of the complex combination of values and attitudes exhibited by workers in a heavily unionized, industrially developing country, while also ascertaining their political beliefs. By analyzing empirical data, Ranis describes what workers think about their unions, employers, private and foreign enterprise, the economy, the state, privatization, landowners, politics, the military, the "dirty war" and the "disappeared," the Montonero guerillas, the church, popular culture and leisure pursuits, and their personal lives and ambitions.

A World Torn Apart

Autor: Victoria Carpenter

Número de Páginas: 310

This collection of essays derives from a conference on Violence, Culture and Identity held in St Andrews in June 2003. It is a contribution to the understanding of representations of violence in Latin American narrative. The collected essays are dedicated to the study of the problematic history of violence as a means of 'civilizing' the region: violence used by dictatorial regimes to eradicate the collective memory of their actions; violence as a result of the history of marginalizing segments of the population; sexual violence as an attempt at complete control of the victim. The essays establish a clear link between historical, political and literary constructs spanning the past five hundred years of Latin American history. Close readings of political texts, historical documents, prose, poetry and films employ identity theories, postcolonial discourse, and the principles of mimetic and sacrificial violence. The volume adds to the ongoing critical investigation of the relationship between Latin American history and narrative, and to the key role of representations of violence within that narrative tradition.

Revisiting the National Socialist Legacy

Autor: Oliver Rathkolb

Número de Páginas: 849

Since the mid-1990s, political, legal, and historical debates about Nazi theft and confiscation of property, the use of slave labor during World War II, and restitution and compensation have reemerged. Revisiting the National Socialist Legacy presents completely new historical research on these issues conducted worldwide.This volume responds to concern about Holocaust era assets in Europe, the United States, and Latin America. It focuses on both reexamination of the history of National Socialist property theft and employment of forced labor in the wartime economy, and the compensation and restitution solutions advanced in various European and Latin American countries since 1945.
