Meets the needs of today's teachers and students Gathered to meet the upsurge of interest in Latin America, this collection features major critical articles dealing with the authors and texts customarily taught in colleges and universities in the United States. The articles are in English and Spanish, with a predominance of the former. Surveys a dynamic and exciting area of research Four Latin American writers have won the Nobel Prize for Literature: Guatemalan Miquel Angel Asturias, Chilean Gabriela Mistral, Colombian Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and Chilean Pablo Neruda. Also internationally recognized are the Argentine Jorge Luis Borges, the Mexican Carlos Fuentes, and the Chilean Isabel Allende, to name only a few. Moreover, the sociopolitical circumstances of the past four decades of Latin American history, and the growing importance of the region have resulted in the creation of Latin American studies programs in numerous American universities. All of this literary activity hasinspired innumerable dissertations, theses, books, and journal articles.

The Politics of Spanish American 'Modernismo'
Author: Gerard AchingPublisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521153812
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The Politics of Spanish American "Modernismo" elucidates the professional and literary means through which Spanish American modernistas negotiated a cultural politics of rapprochement with Spain and Europe in order to differentiate their Americanness from that of the United States. Gerard Aching argues that these turn-of-the-century men of letters were in fact responsible for the burgeoning role that intellectuals and writers had (and continue to have) in defining pan-Hispanicism. Aching's arguments contribute to current debates about modernity and the colonial/postcolonial condition in nineteenth-century Hispanic literatures.
Decolonizing Modernism
Author: JoseLuis VenegasPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351570005
Category : Foreign Language Study
Languages : en
Pages : 309
Book Description
James Joyce's Ulysses (1922) has been recognized as a central model for the Spanish American 'New Narrative'. Joyce's linguistic and technical influence became the unequivocal sign that literature in Spanish America had definitively abandoned narrow regionalist concerns and entered a global literary canon. In this bold and wide-ranging study, Jose Luis Venegas rethinks this evolutionary conception of literary history by focusing on the connection between cultural specificity and literary innovation. He argues that the intertextual dialogue between James Joyce and prominent authors such as Argentines Jorge Luis Borges and Julio Cortazar, Cuban Guillermo Cabrera Infante, and Mexican Fernando del Paso, reveals the anti-colonial value of modernist form. Venegas explores the historical similarities between Joyce's Ireland during the 1920s and Spanish America between the 1940s and 70s to challenge depoliticized interpretations of modernist aesthetics and propose unsuspected connections between formal experimentation and the cultural transformations demanded by decolonizing societies. Jose Luis Venegas is Visiting Assistant Professor of Spanish at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
The Spanish American Crónica Modernista, Temporality and Material Culture
Author: Andrew ReynoldsPublisher: Bucknell University Press
ISBN: 1611484693
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
This study explores how Spanish American modernista writers incorporated journalistic formalities and industry models through the crónica genre to advance their literary preoccupations. Through a variety of modernista writers, including José Martí, Amado Nervo, Manuel Gutiérrez Nájera and Rubén Darío, Reynolds argues that extra-textual elements – such as temporality, the material formats of the newspaper and book, and editorial influence – animate the modernista movement’s literary ambitions and aesthetic ideology. Thus, instead of being stripped of an esteemed place in the literary sphere due to participation in the market-based newspaper industry, journalism actually brought modernismo closer to the writers’ desired artistic autonomy. Reynolds uncovers an original philosophical and sociological dimension of the literary forms that govern modernista studies, situating literary journalism of the movement within historical, economic and temporal contexts. Furthermore, he demonstrates that journalism of the movement was eventually consecrated in book form, revealing modernista intentionality for their mass-produced, seemingly utilitarian journalistic articles. The Spanish American Crónica Modernista, Temporality, and Material Culture thereby enables a better understanding of how the material textuality of the crónica impacts its interpretation and readership.

Book Description
This dissertation examines a group of modernista women writers who are closely associated with the tradition of the nineteenth-century Latin American â€foundational fiction†novel. I suggest that their works function as national allegories in the sense that they are integral to the debates on modernity at the beginning of the twentieth century. I discuss the continuity of this â€foundational fictions†tradition within a different framework, modernismo, an aesthetic that is sometimes erroneously stereotyped as â€apolitical†or â€escapist.†By highlighting the peculiarities of the dialogue established between discourses of nation and the modernismo practiced by these authors, I show that their works are in fact profoundly, if not overtly, political. In the first chapter I analyze the treatment of race in Roque Moreno (1898) and IndÃ3mita (1904) by Teresa González de Fanning, and the second chapter examines religion in Perfiles vagos (1910) by Iris (Inés EcheverrÃa Bello). The third chapter focuses on El manantial (1908) by César Duayen (Emma de la Barra) and the fundamental placement of education as the backbone of nation development. The fourth chapter studies La rosa muerta (1914) by Aurora Cáceres and Ifigenia (1924) by Teresa de la Parra, two novels that substitute the character of the artist -typically at the center of modernista narratives- with sick women which brings the issue of female constraints to the front. I argue that by writing within the modernismo aesthetics, a synonym of modernity and intellectuality, these five women legitimized their voices in order to propose a national project.

Book Description
"The poetic movement that was Spanish American modernismo ran from the early 1880s to 1916: it expressed the desire both to join universal literature - aesthetic modernity - and to break colonial ties with Spanish belles lettres. The new translations in this bilingual anthology, many of them first translations, present eighteen modernista poets from Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Nicaragua, Peru, and Uruguay. This volume in the MLA series Texts and Translations is designed to provide the student of Spanish American literature with work not easily accessible in Spanish and English and to introduce modernismo, an often misunderstood movement, to a wider audience."--BOOK JACKET.
