Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume considers the confluence of World History and historical materialism, with the following guiding question in mind: given developments in the field of historical materialism concerned with the intersection of race, gender, labour, and class, why is it that within the field of World History, historical materialism has been marginalized, precisely as World History orients toward transnational socio-cultural phenomenon, micro-studies, or global histories of networks? Answering this question requires thinking, in an inter-related manner, about both the development of World History as a discipline, and the place of economic determinism in historical materialism. This book takes the position that historical materialism (as applied to the field of World History) needs to be more open to the methodological diversity of the materialist tradition and to refuse narrowly deterministic frameworks that have led to marginalization of materialist cultural analysis in studies of global capitalism. At the same time, World History needs to be more self-critical of the methodological diversity it has welcomed through a largely inclusionary framework that allows the material to be considered separately from cultural, social, and intellectual dimensions of global processes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sacred Eroticism addresses a neglected chapter in Latin American literature, namely, the influence of Georges Bataille and Pierre Klossowski's atheist mysticism in the Latin American erotic novel of the twentieth century. Combining a Lacanian analytical framework with an (Inter)textualist approach. Juan Carlos Ubilluz reveals how Julio Cortazar, Salvador Elizondo, Mario Vargas Llosa, and Juan Garcia Ponce adopted Sataille and Klossowski's aesthetic and philosophical models as a point of departure to rearticulate the modern subject's buried dimension of the sacred through various Innovations on the erotic novel's form. Ubilluz examines the dialectical irruption of these literary experiments into their particular aesthetic, theoretical, and political contexts; showing, for instance, that Cortazar's

El arte del lenguaje, es la manera apropiada cómo el ser humano construye su presente y su futuro. Nosotros, los seres humanos somos los artífices de la vida que queremos vivir, delineamos nuestro destino con cada palabra que sale de nuestra boca.

Book excerpt: One of the quintessential goals of the American Dream is to own land and a home, a place to raise one’s family and prove one’s prosperity. Particularly for immigrant families, home ownership is a way to assimilate into American culture and community. However, Latinos, who make up the country’s largest minority population, have largely been unable to gain this level of inclusion. Instead, they are forced to cling to the fringes of property rights and ownership through overcrowded rentals, transitory living arrangements, and, at best, home acquisitions through subprime lenders. In Tierra y Libertad, Steven W. Bender traces the history of Latinos’ struggle for adequate housing opportunities, from the nineteenth century to today’s anti-immigrant policies and national mortgage crisis. Spanning southwest to northeast, rural to urban, Bender analyzes the legal hurdles that prevent better housing opportunities and offers ways to approach sweeping legal reform. Tierra y Libertad combines historical, cultural, legal, and personal perspectives to document the Latino community’s ongoing struggle to make America home.

Fue allá, en el año de 1927, cuando hice la exposición de la Fenomenología así como el Neokantismo, el Existencialismo de Heidegger y sus antecedentes y la Teoría de los Valores, especialmente de Max Scheler, en mis cátedras de Epistemología analítica y de Metafísica en la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, dependiente de la Universidad Nacional de México. - Dr. Adalberto Garcia de Mendoza

Book excerpt: The essays in this anthology probe and comment on the "space/time/issue between" in aesthetic or linguistic productions in a variety of cultures. For over three decades the Southeast Conference on Foreign Languages, Literatures, and Film (SCFLLF), which convenes biennially, has been and continues to be a showcase for scholarship in the Humanities with a special emphasis on non-English language area studies. In 2018, at the 23rd SCFLLF, fifty-three national and international scholars presented their research on linguistics, literature, film, culture, and language pedagogy. The essays we selected to showcase all probe and comment on the “space/time/issue between” in aesthetic or linguistic productions in a variety of cultures. We have organized these contributions in three parts entitled: Part I: Between Fiction and "Reality," Part II: Between Continuity and Transformation, and Part III: Between Conformity and Resistance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Si no hacemos preguntas atrevidas sobre lo que creemos no crecemos interiormente, no asumimos conscientemente lo que nos dijeron de pequeños que deberíamos creer. Creer como se cree de niño o de joven no es lo mismo que como se cree de adulto puesto que se han adquirido marcos de referencia que permiten analizar críticamente lo que nos enseñaron de la religión, de Dios, de la vida después de la muerte, del sentido ético y moral de la presente vida. De adulto se tiene la capacidad desarrollada para percibir las contradicciones entre lo que se ve y se constata en el diario vivir, y lo que dicen los "profesionales" que debe ser la realidad espiritual. No escribo como teólogo, aunque estudié teología. No escribo como filósofo, aunque estudié filosofía. No escribo como sociólogo aunque estudié sociología. No quiero hacer un tratado de teología, ni de filosofía, ni de sociología. Escribo para creyentes como yo, que están en la búsqueda de respuestas más satisfactorias a las preguntas que tienen de su fe cristiana. Escribo con el fin de compartir estas reflexiones que han zumbado por mi espíritu inquisidor y que, sólo en la soledad del encuentro personal con mi propia autenticidad en el pensar y sentir, he encontrado soluciones satisfactorias. Escribo para compartir con los que lean estas ideas duramente trabajadas, que me han servido para solucionar las contradicciones que he encontrado en la fe cristiana con la que crecí. Mi empeño al escribir estas notas es compartir con el lector aquello que me llevó a sentirme vivo en mi fe, vibrando de emoción al comprender y aceptar que hay diferentes perspectivas que pueden iluminarnos y llevarnos a entender que Dios se manifiesta de diferentes formas de acuerdo con la cultura, con los esquemas mentales, con la riqueza del tiempo, con la antigüedad y madurez de aquellos a quienes Él les habla, en cada etapa en que Él decide que tiene que hacerlo porque ese segmento de la humanidad lo necesita. Esta es pues, una invitación de coraje. Acompáñeme, estimado lector, en la revisión audaz de muchas creencias con las cuales nos criamos y absorbimos sin ningún cuestionamiento para descubrir respuestas diferentes y valederas.

Book excerpt: Ever since its appearance, Miguel de Cervantes’ Don Quixote has exerted a powerful influence on the artistic imagination all around the world. This cross-cultural volume offers important new readings of canonical reinterpretations of the Quixote: from Unamuno to Borges, from Ortega y Gasset to Calvino, from Mark Twain to Carlos Fuentes. But to the prestigious list of well-known authors who acknowledged Cervantes’ influence, it also adds new and surprising names, such as that of Subcomandante Marcos, who gives a Cervantine twist to his Mexican Zapatista revolution. Attention is paid to successful contemporary authors such as Paul Auster and Ricardo Piglia, as well as to the forgotten voice of the Belgian writer Joseph Grandgagnage. The volume breaks new ground by taking into consideration Belgian music and Dutch translations, as well as Cervantine procedures in Terry Gilliam’s Lost in La Mancha. In all, this book constitutes an indispensable guide for the further study of the Quixote’s Nachleben and offers exciting proposals for rereading Cervantes.
