Gender Violence in Twenty-first-century Latin American Women's Writing
How do contemporary female authors in Latin America tackle gender violence in their writings?This book analyses the portrayal of violence against women in the works of ten contemporary Latin American female authors: Alejandra Jaramillo Morales, Laura Restrepo, Ena Lucia Portela, Wendy Guerra, Selva Almada, Claudia Pineiro, Diamela Eltit, Carla Guelfenbein, Lydia Cacho and Fernanda Melchor. Governments in Latin America have routinely failed to protect women from abuse, threats, censorship, repressive policies on reproduction rights, forced displacement, sex trafficking, disappearances and femicides, and this book beats a new path through these burning issues by drawing on the knowledges encap...
Algo habla con mi voz
¿Cómo sobrevive en Bogotá una migrante venezolana asediada por la depresión y la voz de la locura, que tiene un matrimonio resquebrajado y una niña que le seca las lágrimas, y cuya única fuente de fraternidad es la literatura? Escribe. Escribe cartas a su amigo F., en las que vierte sus ansias de habitar en las palabras, sus sueños de nefelibata, sus poemas, “relleno de papeleras” y “mariqueras suyas”, como ella llama a sus escritos. Y en estas cartas también le cuenta lo que significa salir de un país sin lugar para ella y llegar a otro en el que su nacionalidad anula su individualidad. El relato ganador del Concurso de Novela Universidad Central 2019 ilumina el vórtice de un drama social de carácter transnacional y un problema de salud pública desde la profunda intimidad de una narración en primera persona que fluye audaz y auténticamente entre la prosa epistolar y el verso libre, entre el pasado y el presente, en últimas, entre la conciencia y el abismo de aquello que se apodera de su voz.
Specular City
"A sweeping account of one of the cultural centers of Latin America, Specular City tells the history of Buenos Aires during the interregnum after Juan Peron's fall from power and before his restoration. During those two decades, the city experienced a rapid metamorphosis at the behest of its middle class citizens, who were eager to cast off the working-class imprint left by the Peronists. Laura Podalsky discusses the ways in which the proliferation of skyscrapers, the emergence of car culture, and the diffusion of an emerging revolution in the arts helped transform Buenos Aires, and, in so doing, redefine Argentine collective history. More than a cultural and material history of this city, this book also presents Buenos Aires as a crucible for urban life. Examining its structures through films, literatures, new magazines, advertising and architecture, Specular City reveals the prominent place of Buenos Aires in the massive changes that Latin America underwent for a new, modern definition of itself."--Book cover.

Haunting Without Ghosts
Winner, William M. LeoGrande Prize, Center for Latin American and Latino Studies at American University, 2022 For half a century, cultural production in Colombia has labored under the weight of magical realism—above all, the works of Gabriel García Márquez—where ghosts told stories about the country’s violent past and warned against a similarly gruesome future. Decades later, the story of violence in Colombia is no less horrific, but the critical resources of magical realism are depleted. In their wake comes "spectral realism." Juliana Martínez argues that recent Colombian novelists, filmmakers, and artists—from Evelio Rosero and William Vega to Beatriz González and Erika Diettes...

Disidencias.
Este libro contiene trece ensayos que recorren la literatura del siglo XX en América Latina y analizan las formas diversas y complejas en que dicha literatura despliega formas de conocimiento. Es un estudio sobre el conocimiento como disidencia, como un campo del saber que amplía, cuestiona, transforma el conocimiento moderno. Para lograr el propósito de estos análisis se construyó un método que busca mostrar lo claro y lo oscuro de unos conocimientos que se superponen, se contradicen, se seducen, se violentan y se enfrentan en las escrituras del siglo XX en América Latina. Es el arte de la desodencia, de iluminar con un haz de luz que lleva en sí mismo su oscuridad y nos deja ver esas ruinas vivientes que nuestros escritores y escritoras hacen palpitar, al tiempo que nuestro conocer racional nos impide ver.
