How Far is America from Here?

Resumen del Ebook

Libro How Far is America from Here?

How Far is America From Here? approaches American nations and cultures from a comparative and interdisciplinary perspective. It is very much at the heart of this comparative agenda that “America” be considered as a hemispheric and global matter. It discusses American identities relationally, whether the relations under discussion operate within the borders of the United States, throughout the Americas, and/or worldwide. The various articles here gathered interrogate the very notion of “America”: which, whose America, when, why now, how? What is meant by “far”—distance, discursive formations, ideals and ideologies, foundational narratives, political conformities, aberrations, inconsistencies? Where is here—positionality, geographies, spatial compressions, hegemonic and subaltern loci, disciplinary formations, reflexes and reflexivities? These questions are addressed with regard to the multiple Americas within the USA and the bi-continental western hemisphere, as part of and beyond inter-American cultural relations, ethnicities across the national and cultural plurality of America, mutual constructions of North and South, borderlands, issues of migration and diaspora. The larger contexts of globalization and America's role within this process are also discussed, alongside issues of geographical exploration, capital expansion, integration, transculturalism, transnationalism and global flows, pre-Columbian and contemporary Native American cultures, the Atlantic slave trade, the environmental crisis, U.S. literature in relation to Canadian or Latin American literature, religious conflict both within the Americas and between the Americas and the rest of the world, with such issues as American Zionism, American exceptionalism, and the discourse of/on terror and terrorism.

Lectura, imaginación y memoria

Libro Lectura, imaginación y memoria

En los últimos veinte años, los estudios literarios han estado prisioneros de modelos rígidos, que en aras a justificar su veracidad cientificista, han convertido la obra literaria en un cadáver exquisito. Los diferentes modelos y teorías han venido escamoteando la obra literaria, reduciéndola a su mínima expresión, sin comprender que la literatura dialoga con otras disciplinas y con otras culturas. Lectura, Imaginación y Memoria, que el Programa Editorial de la Universidad del Valle publica por primera vez al público hispanoamericano, recopila doce lúcidos ensayos donde el...

Secuestro historias que el país no conoció

Libro Secuestro historias que el país no conoció

Los escritos publicados sobre el secuestro extorsivo casi siempre tienen un enfoque académico, centrado en el papel que sus perpetradores han jugado en el conflicto armado colombiano; así mismo, varios de los sobrevivientes escribieron sus experiencias, las cuales quedaron como testimonios vivos de la crueldad y la humillación a las que se somete a un plagiado. Sin embargo, hacía falta el relato presentado por quienes luchan contra el delito desde el campo de la legalidad y la institucionalidad. Las crónicas que describe el libro SECUESTRO Historias que el país no conoció, cobran...

Ilusionismo verbal en Elogio de la madrastra y Los cuadernos de don Rigoberto de Mario Vargas Llosa

Libro Ilusionismo verbal en Elogio de la madrastra y Los cuadernos de don Rigoberto de Mario Vargas Llosa

Among the multiple approaches to be taken on an author as multifaceted and prolific as the recent Nobel Laureate Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa, Guadalupe Mart�-Pe�a has chosen to look at the novelist as an illusionist. She studies this land of fantasies and daydreams, that seemingly harmless battlefield where literature, theatre, and painting contend and join together with the writer, the dreamer, and the illusionist to oust reality. Focusing on Elogio de la madrastra and Los cuadernos de don Rigoberto, and the effect of illusion on the reading process, she argues that by referring...
