Miguel Angel Asturias (1899-1974) is one of the notable literary figures in Latin America who in the 1920s contrived both to explore and define Latin literature within the mainstream of Western history. He managed to be poetic, political and mythological at the same time, and with a degree of synthesis rarely achieved then or since. As is the case with many Latin American writers, his work is inextricably linked with politics, and he lived in exile for many years. He was influenced by Indian mythology, fantasy and Surrealism and was the first Latin American novelist to understand the implications of anthropology and structural linguistics for culture and for fiction. In 1967, Asturias became the first Latin American novelist to win the Nobel Prize. René Prieto examines how Miguel Angel Asturias turns to the cultural traditions of the ancient Maya and combines them with the rhetoric of surrealism in order to produce three highly complex and widely misunderstood masterpieces; the Leyendas de Guatemala (1930), Hombres de maíz (1949) and Mulata de tal (1963). Asturias is the first American author to succeed in portraying an indigenous world vision that is blatantly non-Western. Borrowing a variety of techniques from preColumbian manuscripts, he creates a new type of literature that is still the best example of the cultural blend typifying the Americas. This is the first book to examine these three novels for their originality beyond the usual political readings normally attributed to them.…

Rustica (tapa blanda). Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. 01. Este libro analiza cómo se han ligado, en el Sur global, los procesos constituyentes con la transformación del Estado y la implementación de nuevos paquetes de políticas públicas. Estas últimas se han dirigido a satisfacer los nuevos catálogos de derechos sociales, económicos y políticos recogidos en las nuevas Constitucion es promulgadas durante los últimos años. Hasta el momento, en los países europeos y árabes, no ha sido posible proyectar los intensos procesos de movilización social en procesos constituyentes exitosos capaces de promulgar nuevas Constituciones, esto es, en conquistas institucionales que reequilibren la relación de fuerzas a favor de las clases populares. Sin embargo, la reivindicación de una democracia real, la intensidad de los procesos destituyentes y el lanzamiento de procesos constituyentes incipientes apuntan a un horizonte de apropiación de los Estados. Tal desplazamiento debiera proveer un escudo capaz de resistir la brutal gestión de las crisis por parte de las elites, gestionar los nuevos derechos de lo común en beneficio del 99 % e imponer una senda de desarrollo y crecimiento, ecológico y socialmente sostenible, que acabe con la pobreza y la exclusión, genere empleo y termine con la corrupción y la depredación reinantes.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Body of Writing focuses on the traces that an author's "body" leaves on a work of fiction. Drawing on the work of six important Spanish American writers of the twentieth century, RenÉ Prieto examines narratives that reflect-in differing yet ultimately complementary ways-the imprint of the author's body, thereby disclosing insights about power, aggression, transgression, and eroticism.Healthy, invalid, lustful, and confined bodies-as portrayed by Julio CortÁzar, Guillermo Cabrera Infante, Gabriel GarcÍa MÁrquez, Severo Sarduy, Rosario Castellanos, and Tununa Mercado-become evidence for Roland Barthes's contention that works of fiction are "anagrams of the body." Claiming that an author's intentions can be uncovered by analyzing "the topography of a text," Prieto pays particular attention not to the actions or plots of these writers' fiction but rather to their settings and characterizations. In the belief that bodily traces left on the page reveal the motivating force behind a writer's creative act, he explores such fictional themes as camouflage, deterioration, defilement, entrapment, and subordination. Along the way, Prieto reaches unexpected conclusions regarding topics that include the relationship of the female body to power, male and female transgressive impulses, and the connection between aggression, the idealization of women, and anal eroticism in men. This study of how authors' longings and fears become embodied in literature will interest students and scholars of literary and psychoanalytic criticism, gender studies, and twentieth-century and Latin American literature.…
