En este libro, la autora explora cómo una serie de obras poéticas chilenas configuran una representación de la marginalidad donde se visibilizan proyecciones simbólicas y libidinales de la comunidad social. La marginalidad, entendida como categoría discursiva en diálogo con manifestaciones culturales y sociales de diversa naturaleza, se transforma así en un espejo en el cual tanto los lectores como los críticos son llamados a mirarse. Transitando de Diamela Eltit a Juan Carreño, Martina Bortignon delinea tres momentos de la relación entre poesía y margen. En la dictadura, prevalece la coincidencia entre el sujeto de la enunciación y unos personajes marginales que testifican desde la huella de sus corporalidades. Con la recuperación de la democracia, se observa la desarticulación de la mirada pública sobre el marginal por medio de un retrato poético agresivo o sensualmente deslumbrado de éste. En la década del 2000, el imaginario asociado al margen es manipulado para sabotear la atribución de identidades fijas. Margen, espejo es un libro provocador e inteligente que, a través del prisma de la creación poética, interroga con lucidez al Chile reciente.

In this book, the author explores how a series of Chilean poems configure a representation of the margins that display symbolic and libidinous projections of the community. The margin, understood as a discursive category in dialogue with cultural and social expressions of a diverse nature, thus becomes a mirror in which both readers and critics are called to look at themselves. Going from Diamela Eltit to Juan Carreño, Martina Bortignon outlines three moments in the relationship between poetry and the margins. In the dictatorship, the convergence between normative and marginal characters prevails, and these testify from the imprint of their bodies. With the recovery of democracy, the deconstruction of the public gaze on the marginal is observed through an aggressive or sensually dazzled poetic portrait. In the 2000s, the imaginary associated with the margin is manipulated in order to sabotage the attribution of fixed identities. Margen, espejo is a provocative and intelligent book that lucidly interrogates contemporary Chile through the prism of poetic creation.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude
<em>Casebooks in Criticism</em> offer analytical and interpretive frameworks for understanding key texts in world literature and film. Each casebook reprints documents relating to a work's historical context and reception, presents the best critical studies, and, when possible, features an interview with the author. Accessible and informative to scholars, students, and nonspecialist readers alike, the books in this series provide a wide range of critical and informative commentaries on major texts. <p/>Gabriel García Márquez's <em>One Hundred Years of Solitude</em> is arguably the most important novel in twentieth-century Latin American literature. This Casebook features ten critical articles on García Márquez's great work. Carefully selected from the most important work on the novel over the past three decades, they include pieces by Carlos Fuentes, Iris Zavala, James Higgins, Jean Franco, Michael Wood, and Gene H. Bell-Villada. Among the intriguing aspects of the work discussed are its mythic dimension, its "magical" side, its representations of women, its relationship with past chronicles of exploration and discovery, its portrayals of Western power and imperialism, its astounding diffusion throughout the globe and the media, and its simple truth-telling, its fidelity to the tangled history of Latin America. The book incorporates several theoretical approaches--historical, feminist, postcolonial&#x3b; the first English translation of Fuentes's renowned, oft-cited, eight page meditation on the work&#x3b; a general introduction&#x3b; and a 1982 interview with García Márquez.
