Mujeres en tránsito

Sinopsis del Libro

Mujeres en transito examines in detail the insightful accounts of four prominent female writers who traveled to and from Latin America in the nineteenth century: the French Peruvian socialist and activist Flora Tristan (1803-44), the Argentines Juana Manuela Gorriti (1816-92), Eduarda Mansilla (1834-92), and the Peruvian Clorinda Matto de Turner (1852-1909). Each author traveled and wrote in different and significant moments in the history of the Latin American nations, and their texts touch upon the nature of hemispheric and European cross-cultural relations. Mujeres en transito revises the limited consideration that women's travelogues have received within the Latin American literary tradition. It demonstrates how women's commentaries on their own and other nations speak to their own engagement in the project of modern citizenship. More importantly, the act of traveling often helps female authors challenge the strictly political, legal, and geographic conceptions of nationhood and national identity articulated in canonical texts. Their improved yet marginal position in society as women, their particular reasons to travel, and the personal and symbolic connections with more than one nation or culture lead these four women to articulate a "transnational imaginary" through which they revise the categories of gender, class, modernity, and cultural homogeneity that shaped nineteenth century Latin American societies.

Salida de emergencia

A group of thirty chronicles that Fabrizio Meja Madrid spun along thirteen years while strolling up and down the national territory, from the forest to the desert, from the mountains to the highlands, to end, like so many other Mexicans every year, crossing the northern frontier. New drugs, saints with beatified roosters, murderers of one night and of one life, communards with "machetes" and teachers surrounding the foreigner murdered in Oaxaca, a town of kidnappers and three missing towns, the television that presents circus phenomena, the fantasies of the national porn, the corpses of too...

Raíces de la memoria

¿No era acaso la posmodernidad la vanguardia que destruía los grandes relatos? Este estudio evidencia la necesidad de entender las teorías de las corrientes artísticas como tentativas que siempre podrán ser rebasadas por los creadores, tal como lo ha hecho Roberto Burgos Cantor. Como si se tratara de una contradicción realizada, "La ceiba de la memoria" es una Novela Total Posmoderna que integra en un estado superior sus creaciones anteriores, las cuales hoy se comprenden como partes de una totalidad de su ficción que alcanza su mayor manifestación en esta novela.
