In Search of the Latin American Faulkner
Author: Tanya T. Fayen
Publisher: University Press of America
ISBN: 9780819198938
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
In Search of the Latin American Faulkner is an exhaustive exploration of the shifting interaction between Faulkner's works and the literary repertory of Spanish-speaking Latin America that went on for half a century. Fayen's study sketches a previously unexplored history of the evolution of the modern Latin American literary establishment. This work describes the pre-history of contemporary Latin American narrative, with particular attention to the Spanish-speaking Latin American 'boom'-- from the early dominance of peninsular Spanish literary norms to the gradual weakening of these norms and the complete opening up to foreign innovations, when Latin American literature came into its own. Contents: In Search of a Theoretical Model; The Ambiguous Problem of Influence; Polysystem Theory: Performing Descriptive Translation Studies; A Shift of Norms in the Latin American Polysystem; Faulkner's U.S. Critical Reception; Critical Reception of Faulkner in Latin America; The Translations; Conclusion.

The Recontextualization of William Faulkner in Latin American Fiction and Culture
Author: Helen Oakley
Publisher: Edwin Mellen Press
ISBN:
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
It has become commonplace for scholars to refer to the impact of William Faulkner on a number of Latin American authors but without necessarily exploring in depth the nature and extent of his so-called "influence". Dr. Oakley's study breaks new ground, as much for the Faulkner specialist as the scholar of twentieth-century Latin American literature. She approaches her subject from a new perspective, bringing to bear a profound understanding of Faulkner's literary production and cultural context as well as a knowledge of contemporary critical theories.

The New Novel in Latin America
Author: Philip Swanson
Publisher: Manchester University Press
ISBN: 9780719040382
Category : Latin American fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
A critical analysis of Latin American writers from the 1960s to the present reveals interesting insights into the ambiguity of the fiction's break from traditional social realism to a representation of realism which is incomprehensible and paradoxical. Swanson (Hispanic studies, State U. of New York, Albany) examines the "new novel's" inconsistencies, political statements, and postmodern intertextuality through the work of Puig, Vargas Llosa, Cabrera, Infante, Fuentes, Donoso, Sainz, Lispector, and Isabel Allende.

Being in Common
Author: Silvia Nora Rosman
Publisher: Bucknell University Press
ISBN: 9780838755525
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
Rosman persuasively demonstrates how they explore ways of being in common - the communal relation - when the notion of a common being - a totalized conception of community - is shown to be untenable. In doing so she incorporates and looks beyond her predecessors theoretical resources to urgent contemporary preoccupations with how to imagine identity in a "post-national" moment."--Jacket.
