Book Synopsis Ciphers of History by : Enrico Mario Santi
Download or read book Ciphers of History written by Enrico Mario Santi and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2005-12-10 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ciphers of History is a collection of seven classic essays written by the eminent Latin Americanist Enrico Mario Santí, compiled here in a single volume for the first time. Santí covers a broad range of topics in Latin American poetry, narrative, film, and intellectual history, with one brief excursion into Peninsular subject-matter: the Spanish Generation of 98's response to Spain's loss of Cuba in the Spanish-American War of 1898. The collection is defined by a bracing critique of dominant trends in current critical practice, and advocacy of an alternative methodology focused on the retrieval of local knowledge. Santí stresses reading as opposed to theory, and employs the notion of the "cipher" as a figure for "the ultimate ambivalence of interpretation." The essays are tied together by this common approach, which acts as both incisive challenge and demanding blue-print for the field of Latin American literary and cultural studies.

Book Synopsis Cosmopolitanisms and Latin America by : J. Loss
Download or read book Cosmopolitanisms and Latin America written by J. Loss and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-12 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines Latin America's history of engagement with cosmopolitanisms as a manner of asserting a genealogy that links cultural critique in Latin America and the United States. Cosmopolitanism is crucial to any discussion of Latin America, and Latin Americanism as a discipline. Reinaldo Arenas and Diamela Eltit become nodal points to discuss a wide range of issues that include the pedagogical dimensions of the DVD commentary track, the challenges of the Internet to canonization, and links between ethical practices of Benetton and the U.S. academy. These authors, whose rejection of the comfort of regimented constituencies results in their writing being perceived as raw, vindictive, and even alienating, are ripe for critique. What they say about their relation to place with regard to their products' national and international viability is central. The book performs what it theorizes. It travels between methodologies, hence bridging the divide between cosmopolitanism and that alleged common space of Latin American identity as per the colonial experience, illustrating cosmopolitanism as a mediating operation that is crucial to any discussion of Latin America, and of Latin Americanism as a discipline.
