Este nuevo libro de Luz Horne reúne diversos materiales artísticos y literarios para ponerlos a pensar concertadamente, en una cocina intelectual llena de sutilezas y sorpresas. La arquitectura de Lina Bo Bardi, el cine de Eduardo Coutinho, la inclasificable obra de Flávio de Carvalho, entre otros, se conjugan a partir del horizonte de la pregunta por el tiempo pasado, presente y futuro, desde los confines geopolíticos e históricos de la modernidad, cuyos reversos y contradicciones este libro explora con lucidez y originalidad muy necesarias hoy.

Visualizing Loss in Latin America

Autor: Gisela Heffes

Número de Páginas: 284

Visualizing Loss in Latin America engages with a varied corpus of textual, visual, and cultural material with specific intersections with the natural world, arguing that Latin American literary and cultural production goes beyond ecocriticism as a theoretical framework of analysis. Gisela Heffes poses the following crucial question: How do we construct a conceptual theoretical apparatus to address issues of value, meaning, tradition, perspective, and language, that contributes substantially to environmental thinking, and that is part and parcel of Latin America? The book draws attention to ecological inequality and establishes a biopolitical, ethics-based reading of Latin American art, film, and literature that operates at the intersection of the built environment and urban settings. Heffes suggests that the aesthetic praxis that emerges in/from Latin America is permeated with a rhetoric of waste—a significant trait that overwhelmingly defines it.

Poesía en expansión

Autor: Fernando Pérez Villalón

Número de Páginas: 147

Este libro ofrece un panorama de diversas prácticas literarias experimentales en Chile en el nuevo milenio, pero sobre todo propone un modelo crítico y teórico para abordarlas. La “poesía en expansión” abarca obras que exceden los formatos y géneros literarios tradicionales para indagar en otras posibilidades del lenguaje como medio artístico. Aborda la exploración de las dimensiones gráficas de la escritura y sus diálogos con diversos tipos de imagen en la llamada “poesía visual”, el uso del sonido y la música en conjunción con la palabra en la puesta en escena performática de textos literarios, la resistencia al sentido en obras de carácter no semántico, la utilización de estrategias de apropiación y montaje de textos como procedimiento de composición literaria y, por último, las dimensiones materiales de las prácticas editoriales que interrogan las posibilidades del libro como objeto artístico.

Escrituras a contratiempo.

Autor: Borja Cano Vidal

Número de Páginas: 224

La tiranía del tiempo y su irrefrenable velocidad dominan los regímenes contemporáneos, ante cuya aceleración ha aparecido en los últimos años un cierto número de propuestas que, desde el ámbito literario, articulan su propia rebelión a fin de escapar, evadirse o fundar un nuevo tiempo, pausado y detenido. Desde este planteamiento, Escrituras a contratiempo aborda el estudio de un conjunto de escrituras recientes en lengua española que pugna por una temporalidad lenta a fin de ofrecer una alternativa a la aceleración de nuestros días. Con el propósito de identificar y caracterizar su agrupación, se ofrece una triple división en función de la modalidad temporal contra la que estos textos revelan su firme oposición, resultando en tres tiempos ─improductivos, intersticiales y literarios─ que conforman, en suma, las poéticas de la lentitud.

Surveillance, the Cold War, and Latin American Literature

Autor: Daniel Noemi Voionmaa

Número de Páginas: 251

Surveillance, the Cold War, and Latin American Literature examines secret police reports on Gabriel García Márquez, Pablo Neruda, Octavio Paz, Elena Poniatowska, José Revueltas, Otto René Castillo, Carlos Cerda, and other writers, from archives in Mexico, Chile, Guatemala, Uruguay, the German Democratic Republic, and the USA. Combining literary and cultural analysis, history, philosophy, and history of art, it establishes a critical dialogue between the spies' surveillance and the writers' novels, short stories, and poems, and presents a new take on Latin American modernity, tracing the trajectory of a modern gaze from the Italian Renaissance to the Cold War. It traces the origins of today's surveillance society with sense of urgency and consequence that should appeal to academic and non-academic readers alike throughout the Americas, Europe and beyond.

Existencias contaminadas

Latin America has been a paradigmatic region for the observation of ecosystemic phenomena since the early modern period. Against the horizon of the Anthropocene, the contributions gathered in this book explore how art has tackled the many processes of exploitation and capitalization characterizing the continent's social, economic and ecological configurations throughout history, as well as their epistemological and technological dimensions.

Philosophy with Clarice Lispector

Autor: Fernanda Negrete

Número de Páginas: 218

This book examines Clarice Lispector’s body of work, foregrounding its theoretical insights and exploring its philosophical questions, which are placed in conversation with a range of theoretical frameworks and approaches. Contributions to this volume engage with the philosophical dimension of one of the most important writers of the twentieth century. The book features essays by renowned and emerging philosophers and literary critics from multiple parts of the world, which examine Lispector’s different novels, chronicles, and short stories, acknowledging their inherent theoretical claims and placing them in contact with other relevant theoretical angles. They develop conversations between Lispector and well-known philosophers on questions of time, being, writing, and risk, and they also explore Lispector’s critiques of the human, the concept of woman, fertility, temporality, and the common binaries of life and death, and thought and feeling. This volume furthermore includes recent perspectives in psychoanalysis, ecofeminism, affect theory, theology, and black and decolonial studies, showing the generative effects of dialogue between these frameworks and Lispector’s...

Listening to Others

Autor: Natalia Brizuela , Krista Brune

Número de Páginas: 551

Listening to Others is the first English-language volume dedicated solely to the vast corpus of the preeminent Brazilian director, Eduardo Coutinho (1933–2014). From his early work in the 1960s to his last, posthumous film in 2015, Coutinho transformed documentary filmmaking in Brazil and beyond. Described as an informal linguist and savage anthropologist, Coutinho filmed encounters with people different from himself that foregrounded their voices and his role as an attentive listener, creating a "cinema of listening." This collection brings together leading scholars of film, literature, visual culture, Brazilian studies, and Latin American studies, from the United States and Latin America, to examine both Coutinho's masterpieces and less studied films. Using a range of approaches, the contributors invite new ways of understanding the documentarian's trajectory and importance as his work transformed in response to dictatorship, democratization, and other political, social, and technological changes over the course of five decades. The volume also features original translations of a selection of Coutinho's writings and key texts by Brazilian critics to offer a historical...
