Immanent Visitor
Author: Jaime SaenzPublisher: Univ of California Press

Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
"Immanent Visitor is a triumphant procession of that hallucinated angel, Jaime Saenz, carried into English by Kent Johnson and Forrest Gander."—Eliot Weinberger "The appearance of Jaime Saenz in English is a major event for all of us who live and write within that language. In this authoritative selection and translation by Forrest Gander and Kent Johnson he enters the imagination of North America—a later but crucial member of the pantheon of west coast South American poets that includes Neruda, Vallejo, Huidobro, and Parra. The poetry is relentless and the genius of the man who made it inescapable. For a poetry of awakening and terror, this is the place to look."—Jerome Rothenberg "These poems in translation are a revelation, a masterful conceit. 'Reading Saenz we are struck awake into a surging, polyphonic language of unstable, rapid transitions,' the poet/translators say, and so it is: a plain of shifting verbal sands, Saenz unfolds in their hands. The poem and the reader are both kept off-balance until they levitate into a trance, el momento of fusion where poetry begins. It is a great thing to witness this translation as event, the coming of Saenz into a new 'us,' a moment when poetry can be read as 'ours,' meaning 'north and south connected.' This is nuestra poesía."—Cecilia Vicuña, author of The Precarious/Quipoem: The Art and Poetry of Cecilia Vicuña
(Re)collecting the Past
Author: Victoria CarpenterPublisher: Peter Lang
ISBN: 9783039119288
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
This volume addresses the representation of history and collective memory in Latin American literature. The book presents a variety of novel perspectives on the subject, linked by the common themes of the subjectivity of time and history, literature used as a political tool and the representation of marginalized groups. The collection takes an original approach to viewing national histories as represented in literature by adopting a cross-disciplinary position. While there are other publications addressing some of the issues raised in this collection, this book goes beyond literary representations of history. The essays collected here examine technological, political and social developments as a means of creating, re-structuring and (in some cases) potentially destroying nations.

Suspiros de la Vida
Author: Germán MingrammPublisher: Palibrio
ISBN: 146333057X
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
En este libro se encuentra una coleccion de 90 poemas del escritor German Mingramm, en el cual se han plasmado reflexiones sobre la Vida, el Amor y sobre cuestiones existenciales en las que la mayoria de las personas oscilamos de vez en cuando. "Suspiros de la Vida," tal y como su nombre lo dice, intenta hablar de ese suspiro o aire que dia a dia nos incita;... a traves de trazos artisticos, apasionantes e intensos, busca describir los suenos, anhelos y fantasias por medio de la combinacion de las letras, jugando con las palabras y haciendo que lo mas abstracto, inclusive se vuelva algo real y cierto. "Suspiros de la Vida" antes que otra cosa, intenta ser un libro para reflexionar un poco sobre el mundo que nos rodea y sobre nosotros mismos;... nuestro yo interno que nos habla constantemente para expresarnos su sentir y percepcion de lo que siempre le llega.

Book Description
"El Premio de Ensayo Crítico invitaba a pensar problemas que recorrieran el arte argentino durante los últimos años, también sobre un corpus de obras o exhibiciones realizadas por artistas argentinos en los últimos quince años; estas eran unas proposiciones abiertas que no podría haber emprendido sin meditar antes sobre otras variables que exceden al arte e implican algo más grande. Algo que indecorosamente podría ser llamado mundo. Quería pensar a partir de aquella noche que la escatología cibernética había bautizado Y2K, es decir desde el inicio del siglo. También, percibiendo como André Breton que "la sensibilidad jamás cambia radicalmente", otra cuestión disparó este ensayo: ¿cómo se filtra la modernidad en el arte contemporáneo? Una modernidad entendida como un sistema heterotópico, integrado por manifiestos, vanguardias y retaguardias, técnicas, voluntades subversivas."
Human Rights and Democratization in Latin America
Author: Alexandra Barahona de BritoPublisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0191521116
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 348
Book Description
This insightful new work analyses the attempts by Chile and Uruguay to resolve the human rights violations conflicts inherited from military dictatorships. The author focuses on how the post-transitional democratic governments dealt with demmands for official recognition of the truth about the human rights violations committed by the military regimes and for punishment of those guilty of committing or ordering those offences. Alexandra DeBrito sheds light on the political conditions which permitted - or prevented - the politics of truth-telling and justice under these successor regimes. This is the first study to make comparative assessment of human rights abuse in Uruguay and Chile in this way. The author contends that the experiences of these countries offer formative examples of attempts to tackle fundamental aspects of the policies of transition and democratization. She makes an original contribution to our understanding of the key political, legal, and moral issues involved.

Lost in my memories was a note of all the letters, the note he had written tired of not being able to explain his love for me to read it. I remembered that day when he handed me a small pink sheet with a written sentence by him "meeting you was fate, being your friend was a choice, falling in love with you was beyond my reason" smiled softly and reflected on us a bit about things that change inadvertently. Right now I could respond to other words that rose note, I would say definitely "you left was fate, forget it was my choice, my heart could not was beyond my reason" ...
