The Latin American Short Story: An Annotated Guide to Anthologies and Criticism
ISBN: 9780313273605 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 552 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The enormous body of short story anthologies from the nineteen countries of Spanish America and Brazil testifies to their importance for writers, editors, readers, and, especially, for schools and universities, teachers and students. The study of anthologies and their contents can be particularly revealing for many of the questions looming large in critical discourse, particularly those on canon formation and the relations between literature and cultural institutions; but researching this corpus is difficult because it varies greatly in quality, distribution, and format. The present volume... The enormous body of short story anthologies from the nineteen countries of Spanish America and Brazil testifies to their importance for writers, e... |

Out of Context: Historical Reference and the Representation of Reality in Borges
ISBN: 9780822313168 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In Jorge Luis Borges's finely wrought, fantastic stories, so filigreed with strange allusions, critics have consistently found little to relate to the external world, to history--in short, to reality. "Out of Context" corrects this shortsighted view and reveals the very real basis of the Argentine master's purported "irreality." By providing the historical context for some of the writer's best-loved and least understood works, this study also gives us a new sense of Borges's place within the context of contemporary literature.
Through a detailed examination of seven stories, Daniel... In Jorge Luis Borges's finely wrought, fantastic stories, so filigreed with strange allusions, critics have consistently found little to relate to the...

Approaches to Teaching Puig's Kiss of the Spider Woman
ISBN: 9780873528177 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 169 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Manuel Puig's 1976 Kiss of the Spider Woman, translated into English in 1979 and adapted as an Academy Award-winning film, expanded the idiom of the novel (mixing cinema, fiction, romance, and song) and challenged the third-person narration that was dominant in Latin American Boom fiction. Students are drawn to the conversational style of the novel and the melodramatic seductions of the tale, but they need guidance to appreciate the novel's richness as a work of literature. This volume of the MLA's Approaches to Teaching series suggests ways instructors can help students grasp the...

ISBN: 9780814712900 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Despite the explosion of critical writing on gender and sexuality, relatively little work has focused on Latin America. Sex and Sexuality in Latin America: An Interdisciplinary Readerfills in this gap. Daniel Balderston and Donna J. Guy assert that the study of sexuality in Latin America requires a break with the dominant Anglo-European model of gender. To this end, the essays in the collection focus on the uncertain and contingent nature of sexual identity. Organized around three central themes--control and repression; the politics and culture of resistance; and sexual...

Artificial Respiration
ISBN: 9780822314141 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Acclaimed as one of the most important Latin American novels in recent decades, "Artificial Respiration "is a stunning introduction for English readers to the fiction of Ricardo Piglia. Published in Argentina in 1981, it was written at a time when thousands of Argentine citizens "disappeared" during the government's attempt to create an authoritarian state. In part a reflection on one of the most repressive and tragic times in Argentine history, this is one of those rare works of fiction in which multiple philosophical, political, and narrative dimensions are all powerfully and equally...
