Recenzii
The 15 essays offer readings of a wide range of texts-some familiar, some newer-through theoretical lenses that are often surprising. For example, there is a compelling essay on Rosario Castellanos's Balún Canán and its connections to the Southern gothic; Guadalupe Nettel's El cuerpo en que nací is read with disability theory; and José Ramón Ruisánchez Serra's theory of the "absential" is used in reading the work of Amado Nervo. The collection also offers essays on the literature of the Mexican Revolution, violence in contemporary Mexico, and the cartonera publishing scene in Mexico. Summing Up: Highly recommended.
The book serves as a good primer on recent theoretical approaches to Mexican literature, and it will be a valuable resource for graduate courses on Mexican literature as well as for critics looking to keep up to date with recent developments in the field.
Mexican Literature in Theory manages to seamlessly combine rich textual analysis, theoretical sophistication and contextual depth in a series of brilliant essays, many of which are by young and emerging scholars. These essays range from an illuminating re-reading of Amado Nervo, through a nuanced analysis of the disabled body in the work of Guadalupe Nettel, to a challenging re-appraisal of racial subjectivities in Rosario Castellanos's novel, Balún-Canán. These are but some of the many highlights from a collection that provides a snapshot of a seam of deeply challenging thinking within Mexican literary criticism in the current moment.
Mexican Literature in Theory assembles some of the best contemporary scholarship in the field to produce a collection that is remarkable in both quality and scope, informed by theories of Orientalism, ecocriticism, state sovereignty and the political, neoliberal violence, and the politics of infrastructure, among many others. By refusing to be constrained by a programmatic definition of 'theory,' the essays in this volume together offer innovative and timely articulations of the processes through which Mexican literature becomes a site for the unfolding and evolution of critical methodologies.
Sánchez Prado has gathered an exciting range of critical essays by (mostly) US-based Mexicanists, many of whom are young and vital scholars establishing a foothold in the academy. Their lively critical interventions are important engagements with the literary texts that interrogate and build upon the existing scholarship. In his introduction, Sánchez Prado's ability to synthesise and situate the essays within a national and global intellectual and political context provides both a broad and deep understanding of the significance of these essays. This collection should be a mainstay on university reading lists as well as an important new resource for researchers in the field.
A rich sample of contemporary criticism that presents Mexican literature as a fruitful source of theoretical knowledge, from the early nineteenth century to the present. In their readings of canonical and unorthodox texts, the critics gathered in this volume successfully explore Mexican literature's subversive undertones in a neoliberal era of polemical theories.
