Failure of Latin America, The: Postcolonialism in Bad Times
ISBN: 9780822945673 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Failure of Latin America is a collection of John Beverley’s previously published essays and pairs them with new material that reflects on questions of post-colonialism and equality within the context of receding continental socialism. Beverley sees an impasse within both the academic postcolonial project and the Bolivarian idea of Latin America. The Pink Tide may have failed to permanently reshape Latin America, but in its failure there remains the possibility of an alternative modernity not bound to global capitalism. Beverley proposes that equality, modified by the postcolonial...

Essays on the Literary Baroque in Spain and Spanish America
ISBN: 9781855661752 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Hispanic Baroque is a Janus-faced phenomenon, one of its faces peering at the sunset of feudalism, the other at the dawn of European modernity. This collection of essays seeks to engage with this paradox and its consequences for understanding Spanish and Latin American literary and cultural history. Conceived in response to Roberto Gonzalez Echevarria's influential Celestina's Brood: Continuities of the Baroque in Spain and Latin America, and spanning many years of Beverley's own intellectual trajectory, it includes material already in the public domain, together with much that is new,...

Subalternity and Representation: Arguments in Cultural Theory
ISBN: 9780822323822 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The term subalternity refers to a condition of subordination brought about by colonization or other forms of economic, social, racial, linguistic, and/or cultural dominance. Subaltern studies is, therefore, a study of power. Who has it and who does not. Who is gaining it and who is losing it. Power is intimately related to questions of representation to which representations have cognitive authority and can secure hegemony and which do not and cannot. In this book John Beverley examines the relationship between subalternity and representation by analyzing the ways in which that relationship...

From Cuba, 29
ISBN: 9780822365488 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Most speculation about the future of Cuba rests on positions Cuban emigres in the United States, Latin America, and Europe have advanced. In contrast, "From Cuba" represents a diverse collection by Cuban artists and intellectuals who have retained primary identification with or residence in Cuba. The island nation embodies a point of unresolved friction within the new world order. On the one hand, with the collapse of the Soviet Union, the project of the Revolution faces what seems to be an insurmountable impasse; on the other hand, Cuba resists returning to the capitalist fold like a...

The Postmodernism Debate in Latin America
ISBN: 9780822316145 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Postmodernism may seem a particularly inappropriate term when used in conjunction with a region that is usually thought of as having only recently, and then unevenly, acceded to modernity. Yet in the last several years the concept has risen to the top of the agenda of cultural and political debate in Latin America.
This collection explores the Latin American engagement with postmodernism, less to present a regional variant of the concept than to situate it in a transnational framework. Recognizing that postmodernism in Latin America can only inaccurately be thought of as having traveled...
