Figuring translations as gifts positions both source and target cultures as givers and recipients and supplements over-used translation metaphors of betrayal, plundering, submission, or fidelity. As Marcel Mauss articulates, the gift itself desires to be returned and reciprocated. My project maps out the Hemispheric Americas as an independent translation zone and highlights non-European translation norms. Portuguese and Spanish have been sidelined even from European translation studies: only in Mexico and Brazil do we see autochthonous translation theories in Spanish and Portuguese. Focusing on translation strategies that value ii taboo-breaking, I identify poet-translators in Mexico and Brazil who develop their own translation manuals.

  • Creating Culture Through Food, a Study of Traditional Argentine Foods
    Unit Title: Creating Culture through Food: A Study of Traditional Argentine Foods Author: Kyra Brogden George Watts Magnet Montessori, Durham, NC Subject Area: Writing and Language, Social Studies Topic: Food and culture Grade Level: 1st, 2nd, 3rd (Lower Elementary) Time Frame: 4 days of 45-minute lessons on Argentine food, nutrition and culture Cooking: 3 days of cooking and 1 day to put together the cookbook *The cooking lessons will require more time and resources. Also the cookbook may require going through a rough draft and final copy that can occur after the lessons themselves are completed. That can be done at the teachers’ discretion. Brief Summary: This unit will focus on helping students understand the role of nutrition and food in defining a culture by studying Argentine nutrition and food. The first four lessons will focus on comparing nutritional guidelines, evaluating food, and a discussion about meal times in both the United States and Argentina. The students will then embark on a series of three lessons that each focus on a traditional Argentine food. The students will cook the food, create a nutritional analysis, learn about the history of that food, and then write food reviews. The students will ultimately make a cookbook with the recipes, pictures, nutritional analysis, and their own food review. Established Goals are taken from the Common Core Standards for Grade 2: Research to Build and Present Knowledge 7. Participate in shared research and writing projects (e.g. read a number of books on a single topic to produce a report; record science observations) 8.

  • Film, Photojournalism, and the Public Sphere in Brazil and Argentina, 1955-1980
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: MODERNIZATION AND VISUAL ECONOMY: FILM, PHOTOJOURNALISM, AND THE PUBLIC SPHERE IN BRAZIL AND ARGENTINA, 1955-1980 Paula Halperin, Doctor of Philosophy, 2010 Directed By: Professor Barbara Weinstein Department of History University of Maryland, College Park My dissertation explores the relationship among visual culture, nationalism, and modernization in Argentina and Brazil in a period of extreme political instability, marked by an alternation of weak civilian governments and dictatorships. I argue that motion pictures and photojournalism were constitutive elements of a modern public sphere that did not conform to the classic formulation advanced by Jürgen Habermas. Rather than treating the public sphere as progressively degraded by the mass media and cultural industries, I trace how, in postwar Argentina and Brazil, the increased production and circulation of mass media images contributed to active public debate and civic participation. With the progressive internationalization of entertainment markets that began in the 1950s in the modern cities of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Buenos Aires there was a dramatic growth in the number of film spectators and production, movie theaters and critics, popular magazines and academic journals that focused on film. Through close analysis of images distributed widely in international media circuits I reconstruct and analyze Brazilian and Argentine postwar visual economies from a transnational perspective to understand the constitution of the public sphere and how modernization, Latin American identity, nationhood, and socio-cultural change and conflict were represented and debated in those media. Cinema and the visual after World War II became a worldwide locus of production and circulation of discourses about history, national identity, and social mores, and a space of contention and discussion of modernization.

  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION CITIZENSHIP IN TWENTIETH- CENTURY ARGENTINA BENJAMIN BRYCE AND DAVID M. K. SHEININ t many moments in the twentieth century, the meaning of citizen- ship in Argentina has changed. In 1912, electoral reform expanded Avoting rights from elite men to include all men born or naturalized in the country.1 Only in 1947 did the franchise expand to include women. Yet, that alone is not the story of Argentine citizenship. When electoral democ- racy was interrupted in 1930, 1943, 1955, 1962, 1966, and 1976, people did not cease to be citizens. When Juan Perón became president in 1946, he cam- paigned heavily on the idea of social justice. During his populist rule, the rights of citizenship came to encompass greater access to social services and housing as well as higher wages. Throughout the century, citizenship—as a concept invoked by diverse groups of people—has defined people’s relation- ship with the state and their expectations about that state. It also shaped the rights and duties of not only Argentines but also foreign nationals living in the country. The language of citizenship was also fundamentally about belonging. Scholars in this volume and beyond use terms such as cultural, moral, and social citizenship. In seeking out these cultural, moral, and social require- ments, groups with power excluded others whose status in Argentine society was vulnerable. Even if formally citizens, workers, indigenous peoples, racial- ized groups, leftists, and religious minorities have often not been included in the Argentine body politic or have not experienced the same rights as others in many periods of the past century.

  • The Hispanic Literary Canon in U.S. Universities
    ISSN 2373–874X (online) 026-12/2016EN The Hispanic Literary Canon in U.S. Universities Winston R. Groman 1 Topic: Hispanic Literary Canon in the United States Universities Summary: This report analyzes the state of the canon of Spanish-language literature in U.S. universities through the reading lists provided to students by graduate programs in Spanish literature, as well as exploring its evolution since Brown and Johnson’s study about it in 1998. Keywords: Literary Canon, Spanish Literature, Latin-American Literature, United States, University, Readings © Winston R. Groman The Hispanic Literary Canon in U.S. Universities Informes del Observatorio / Observatorio Reports. 026-12/2016EN ISSN: 2373-874X (print) doi: 10.15427/OR026-12/2016EN Instituto Cervantes at FAS - Harvard University © Instituto Cervantes at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences of Harvard University 0. Introduction Dating back to the Ancient Library of Alexandria, the concept of the literary canon has proven to be a durable one. In its over two millennia of existence, literary canons have served purposes religious and secular, promoted agendas political and personal, and have worked to define and redefine the status of both the traditional cultural elite and, most recently, to reflect upon the role played by traditionally underrepresented minority cultures in the discussion of which texts are considered as definitive. By the 20th Century, the assessment of literary canonicity had become almost the exclusive domain of higher education, especially in the United States, binding

Los nuevos retos del viejo género de la crítica biográfica: el caso de Augusto Monterroso New challenges to the old literary genre of biographical criticism: Augusto Monterroso’s case Alejandro Lámbarry Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla, México Resumen: El género de la crítica biográfica ha logrado reposicionarse en el espacio de convergencia entre las ciencias sociales y la literatura, con una metodología interdisciplinaria rigurosa que obedece a los criterios de veracidad de la historia. En este artículo nos interesa, primero, ex- poner los postulados teóricos de la nueva crítica biográfica y, segundo, desarrollar algunas conclusiones sobre la vida y obra de Augusto Monte- rroso, resultado de una investigación de archivo (en las universidades de Princeton y Oviedo) y de fuentes orales, bibliográficas y hemerográficas. Nuestro objetivo es asentar la importancia de la crítica biográfica (en teoría y práctica) para la crítica literaria hispanoamericana. Palabras clave: crítica biográfica, Augusto Monterroso, archivo, crítica literaria. Abstract: Biographical criticism is located in the crossroads between lit- erature and social sciences; it has a strict historical methodology and a penchant for narrative. In this article we want, firstly, to revise its theor- etic grounding and, secondly, its application in the life and works of Augusto Monterroso. In order to write about Monterroso we consulted his manuscripts and personal papers kept in the Princeton University and Oviedo University Libraries; we also conducted interviews to people 81 Los nuevos retos del viejo género de la crítica biográfica that were close to him.
