The Places of History – Regionalism Revisited in Latin America de Doris Sommer

The Places of History – Regionalism Revisited in Latin America

Autor Doris Sommer
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 mai 1999
Presents literary criticism in the particularities of history to probe those gaps created by reading Latin American literature through the lenses of a totalising view of a globalised culture or through universal formulae for reading offered by metanarratives. This book probes the incommensurability of empirical history with any code or formula.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Responding to the pressures of current theoretical trends toward models of cultural globalization, the essays collected here bring a historical focus to literary studies. They suggest that only by exploring the particularities of regional historical cultures can the multiple meanings of American identities be understood. Representing a broad range of contemporary criticism, this volume features many short essays by the most well-known and respected Latin Americanists, each devoting attention to specific matters of history. The topics range from Incan architecture to Chicano and Nuyorican habitats; from turn-of-the-century Argentine criminology to Caribbean homophobia; from the rhetorics of independence and dictatorship to Mexican ambivalence about opera and Brazil's move beyond monarchy; and from the precarious survival of the Spanish language in Latin America to its paradoxical legacy of enlightenment in the Philippines.
