Book excerpt: "With this ground-breaking book, Kenton V. Stone presents to North American readers one of the most intriguing writers to emerge out of Latin America in recent years, Uruguay's Carlos Martinez Moreno. Martinez Moreno started writing in the 1960s and achieved international reknown in 1981 when he was awarded Mexico's international fiction prize (by a panel including Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Julio Cortazar, and Ariel Dorfman) for his novel El color que el infierno me escondiera - a novel which, as the title suggests, takes the classic work of Dante Allighieri as its model. Stone's study of Martinez Moreno's novels has a dual purpose. The first purpose is to show that Martinez Moreno is a writer of the "Boom" in the Latin-American novel of the 1960s who deserves a revival in critical attention. The second purpose is to propose that new readings of his work extend beyond political protest to a study of Dantesque moral analysis - especially evident in El Infierno." "Once a utopian welfare state known to all as the "Switzerland of the Americas" for its democracy, pacifism, and prosperity, Uruguay succumbed to military rule in 1973. Martinez Moreno - along with compatriots Mario Benedetti, Eduardo Galeano, and Juan Carlos Onetti (among others) - had long predicted the demise of Uruguay's utopia in his novels. From 1973 until his death in exile, he took up the role of resisting - as novelist and attorney - what became the most ruthless regime of the "dirty wars" of Latin America in the 1970s, a regime that forced one-fifth of its citizens into prison or exile." "In Utopia Undone, Stone offers the reader an incisive analysis of Martinez Moreno's award-winning book and the novels that led up to its writing. He analyzes Martinez Moreno's works as they range from the Cuban revolution in El paredon (1963) to Bolivia's cocaine trade and Che Guevara in Coca (1968). Stone painstakingly points out the parallels between Martinez Moreno's craft and the deterioration of Uruguayan society, a process chronicled in his novels as la deca, "the decay." The reader is introduced to the Uruguayan author's life and times and how they were inevitably set on a collision course with what Roa Bastos calls Martinez Moreno's "revolutionary dream." Finally, Stone examines the end of Martinez Moreno's career - in exile in Mexico, bearing witness to Uruguay's largely overlooked diaspora with El Infierno, a monumental classic of the "literature of the disappeared" with a Dantesque devotion to truth and moral vision." "Utopia Undone was born in an interview Kenton V. Stone conducted with Martinez Moreno only months prior to the novelist's death in 1986 - the year Uruguay's democracy was restored."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bienvenido: Has llegado justo al lugar indicado para encontrar historias, leyendas, mitos, anécdotas y realidades, entre otros temas, envueltos en sonetos y melodías. Se podría decir que has comprado dos libros por el precio de uno. Son dos autores de dos generaciones distintas - viviendo en el mismo tiempo - escribiendo sus distintas memorias, para formar una misma utopía. Lo que hace aún más interesante a este libro está en el hecho de que estos dos trovadores con el mismo nombre son una dinastía en acción. Es decir, los autores son: ¡padre e hijo! El cantautor y escritor de varios libros de poesía, Jaime Paredes, se une a el Sr. Otto Jaime Paredes González (escritor de varios libros de auto-superación, compositor de varios temas internacionalmente conocidos, productor, y empresario) para darle vida a la esencia de las prosas en un mismo libro, que deja su huella en la infinita biblioteca de la literatura. Este libro está dividido en tan sólo dos capítulos. El primero, inicia con los primeros 50 poemas y el principio de la utopía del poeta, Otto Jaime Paredes González (padre). Y en el segundo capítulo te encontrarás con los siguientes 50 poemas y la utopía en su totalidad del poeta, Otto Jaime Paredes López, (hijo). Espero disfrutes este libro, diviértete al máximo... y al final, comparte estos cien poemas.... ¡que ruede la utopía! ¡Bienvenido!

Book excerpt: Pronunciamos la palabra "utopía" y, generalmente, una burlona o compasiva sonrisa se dibuja en el rostro del interlocutor. Las fuerzas oscuras de la historia las que siempre han operado como retranca o freno de cualquier innovación o perspectiva renovadora la han saturado de adherencias negativas, asimilándola al terreno de lo imposible, de la ilusión, de lo fantasioso y de lo que, anticipadamente, está condenado al fracaso. Cuestionando tal perspectiva, el estudio de Isabel Aguilar Umaña exhaustivo recorrido por las cumbres del pensamiento utópico demuestra que, tras casa meta que el ser humano ha conseguido, tras cada logro que ha dignificado su existencia, palpita incólume dicho pensamiento, auténtico motor o resorte que ha impulsado la marcha de la historia: del pedernal al más sofisticado ordenador. En estos tiempos de descreimiento generalizado, un libro más que necesario para recordarnos que la utopía no es una entelequia relegada a los archivos de la erudición. Que ella equivale a la «construcción racional de un sueño»: cada piedra personal que se coloque en el edificio social es, de hecho, un paso hacia la transformación de la utopía en «topía»: lugar de realización posible que, aunado a millares de esfuerzos similares, suma y sigue en el inacabable camino de reafirmación de la especie humana.

Book excerpt: Provides in-depth analyses of key moments in Brazilian utopianism, including theological-political, matriarchal, environmental, and work-free utopias. States of Grace offers a novel approach to the study of Brazilian culture through the lens of utopianism. Patrícia I. Vieira explores religious and political writings, journalistic texts, sociological studies, and literary works that portray Brazil as a utopian land of the future, where dreams of a coming messianic age and of social and political emancipation would come true. The book discusses crucial utopian moments such as the theological-political utopia proposed by Jesuit Priest Antônio Vieira; matriarchal utopias, like the egalitarian society of the Amazons; work-free utopias that abolished the boundaries separating toil and play; and ecological utopias, where humans and nonhumans coexist harmoniously. The uniqueness of the books approach lies in rethinking the link between messianic and utopian texts, as well as the alliances forged between progressive religious, socioeconomic, political, and ecological ideas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bien es sabido que Tom�s Moro (1478-1535) no invent� la utop�a como g�nero literario, pero es innegable que su Utop�a le ha dado el nombre. Tampoco se puede negar que, exista o no convergencia con sus planteamientos, la propuesta de Moro innov� significativamente la literatura pol�tica. Utop�a es una cr�tica al orden social establecido en la Europa de la �poca, pero el sistema pol�tico que propone y describe minuciosamente en sus p�ginas es tambi�n una alternativa al mismo, de tal forma que, como se�ala Savater, la contradicci�n de la obra, y la nuestra propia, al considerar lo que en realidad es un ejercicio literario de denuncia moral como un programa pol�tico que, revolucionario en s� mismo, no admite la revoluci�n ni la disidencia. El hecho de que Moro obvie en sus planteamientos el reconocimiento de la libertad humana confiere a Utop�a la irracionalidad de la que huye, la imprevisibilidad que le niega el autor. Porque m�s all� de la utop�a colectivista siempre est� el ideal de la persona libre.

This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reflects on translation praxis in 20th century Latin American print culture, tracing the trajectory of linguistic heterogeneity in the region and illuminating collective efforts to counteract the use of translation as a colonial tool and affirm cultural production in Latin America. In investigating the interplay of translation and the Americas as a geopolitical site, Guzmán Martínez unpacks the complex tensions that arise in these “spaces of translation” as embodied in the output of influential publishing houses and periodicals during this time period, looking at translation as both a concept and a set of narrative practices. An exploration of these spaces not only allows for an in-depth analysis of the role of translation in these institutions themselves but also provides a lens through which to uncover linguistic plurality and hybridity past borders of seemingly monolingual ideologies. A concluding chapter looks ahead to the ways in which strategic and critical uses of translation can continue to build on these efforts and contribute toward decolonial narrative practices in translation and enhance cultural production in the Americas in the future. This book will be of particular interest to scholars in translation studies, Latin American studies, and comparative literature.

Book excerpt: ¿En qué se parecen caminar, tejer, observar, narrar, cantar, dibujar y escribir? La repuesta es que, de uno u otro modo, todo lo anterior se lleva a cabo a través de líneas. Visto así, la Historia entera es una línea, compuesta por pequeñas líneas. En este libro Tim Ingold imagina un mundo en el que todos y todo se compone de líneas entrelazadas o in-terconectadas y sienta las bases de una nueva disciplina: la ar-queología antropológica de la línea. El argumento de Ingold nos lleva a través de la música de la antigua Grecia y del Japón contemporáneo, por laberintos de Siberia y vías ro-manas, por la caligrafía china y el alfabeto impreso, tejiendo un camino entre la antigüedad y el presente. Ingold revela cómo nuestra percepción de las líneas ha cambiado en el tiempo, con la modernidad antes de convertirse en recta, la línea es un conjunto de puntos, pero el mundo posmoderno la rompe y fragmenta para estudiarla mejor. Tim Ingold utiliza para su estudio muchas disciplinas, como la Arqueolo-gía, Estudios Clásicos, Historia del Arte, la Lingüística, la Psicología, la Musicología, la Filosofía y muchos otros. Este libro nos lleva por un viaje intelectual estimulante que va a cambiar la manera en que vemos el mundo y la forma en que vamos por el mismo.
