No customer reviews yet ISBN 9789687631080 Instituto Internacional de Literatura Iberoamericana

Este volumen representa un sentido homenaje a Georgina Sabat-Rivers, una figura prominente en el estudio sobre la constitución de un discurso criollo en el período colonial, así como sobre la incorporación de una perspectiva de género al estudio de varias escritoras de los siglos XVI y XVII. Su trabajo crítico combina la investigación de archivo con un sólido trasfondo histórico y filológico, que no riñe con el uso de acercamientos teóricos más recientes. Su trabajo como profesora e investigadora de literatura colonial latinoamericana ha sido vital en el entrenamiento de varias generaciones de colonialistas cuyo trabajo crítico se nutre de su amplia bibliografía. El propósito de esta antología es reconocer y celebrar esta aportación singular.

Los ensayos aquí recogidos muestran una diversidad de agendas, temas, intereses y reflexiones que ilustran un claro deslinde de los estudios coloniales y poscoloniales del análisis de los discursos de formación nacional en Latinoamérica, sin proponer con ello una relación antagónica o exclusiva. También encontramos en ellos la vitalidad y pasón que han caracterizado la obra crítica y pedagógica de Georgina Sabat-Rivers.

This volume represents a heartfelt tribute to Georgina Sabat-Rivers, a prominent figure in the study of the constitution of a Creole discourse in the colonial period, as well as the incorporation of a gender perspective in the study of various writers of the 16th and 17th centuries. Her critical work combines archival research with a solid historical and philological background, which does not conflict with the use of more recent theoretical approaches. Her work as a teacher and researcher of Latin American colonial literature has been vital in training several generations of colonialists whose critical work draws on her extensive bibliography. The purpose of this anthology is to recognize and celebrate this unique contribution.

The essays collected here show a diversity of agendas, themes, interests and reflections that illustrate a clear demarcation between colonial and postcolonial studies from the analysis of the discourses of national formation in Latin America, without proposing an antagonistic or exclusive relationship. We also find in them the vitality and passion that have characterized the critical and educational work of Georgina Sabat-Rivers.

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.
