Chapter 2 was published in Contemporary Spanish Poetry: The Word and the World, edited by Cecile West-Settle and Sylvia Sherno. Chapter 3 appeared in Journal of Spanish Cultural Studies. Elena Delgado, Jo Labanyi, and an anonymous reviewer were helpful in improving this piece. Chapter 5 appeared in a special issue Diacritics edited by José María Rodríguez-García. Without the help and encouragement of José María and an anonymous reviewer for Diacritics, this chapter would have been much weaker. Claudio Rodríguez-Fer was also helpful to me in giving me background on Valente’s acquaintance with Celan and Heidegger. Chapter 7 first appeared in Revista de Estudios Hispánicos. I would like to acknowledge Michael Mudrovic and Randolph Pope for accepting this article, and Akiko Tsuchiya for permission to reprint it here. Randolph also accepted other articles of mine on related topics that did not make it into this book. His generous support of my work over the years is greatly appreciated. The research for this book was supported, over the years, by the Univer- sity of Kansas General Research Fund, the Hall Center for the Humanities, the Cramer family, the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Kansas, and the Grant for Cultural Co-operation between U.S. Universities and the Spanish Ministry of Culture. Without the generous support of these institu- tions, this book could not have been written. I owe a debt of gratitude to numerous individuals who have discussed contemporary Spanish poetry with me, or lent their moral and material support to me at various points along the way. This list includes Akiko Tsuchiya, Marjorie Perloff, David Shapiro, Elena Delgado, Silvia Bermúdez, Amalia Iglesias, Lola Velasco, Concha García, Ana Rossetti, Isla Correyero, César Antonio Molina, Juan Barja, Guillermo Carnero, Jesús Munárriz, Juan Carlos Mestre, Antonio Méndez Rubio, Jorge Riechmann, Steve Summerhill, José Manuel Cuesta Abad, LUP_Mayhew.indd 7 28/3/09 14:33:11 8 The Twilight of the Avant-Garde Antonio Gamoneda, Jaime Siles, Laura Scarano, Elena Delgado, Germán Gullón, Chris Soufas, Margo Persin, John Kronik, John Wilcox, and, last but certainly not least, the late Andy Debicki. My past and present colleagues at the University of Kansas and the Ohio State University—too numerous to list here—have also been helpful and encouraging. The participants in the Poetics Seminar at the Hall Center for the Humani- ties have also been crucial to my ability to maintain a high level of intellectual stimulation. Thanks is due to Roberta Johnson and Victor Bailey (past and present Directors of the Hall Center respectively), for their on-going support of the Seminar (and of my own research). Ken Irby, Judy Roitman, Stan Lombardo, Van Kelly, Jill Kuhnheim, and Joe Harrington have been the most assiduous participants in the Seminar. My hunger for constant intellectual dialogue has also been fed on a daily basis by an informal network of “Poetry and Poetics Bloggers”: Jordan Davis, Heriberto Yépez, K. Silem Mohammad, Ron Silliman, Gary Sullivan, Nada Gordon, Jim Behrle, Tim Yu, Josh Corey, Stephanie Young, Henry Gould, Nick Piombino, and about a dozen others. Various audiences who listened to oral versions of the material presented at several conferences also gave me valuable comments that helped me to clarify my ideas. Also, the students in several Graduate Seminars helped me to remain engaged with this material. Leslie Bayers wrote a paper on Concha García for one of these seminars that stimulated me to develop my ideas on this poet. This book would not have existed without Luis García Montero. Although I doubt he will welcome a book that calls his aesthetic values into question, I must admit that his energy in pursuing his vision of poetry has shaped the recent history of Spanish poetry. If I had not read his eloquent essays outlining the ideological basis for the “poetry of experience,” I would never had begun this project. Needless to say, none of the individuals or institutions listed above, least of all Luis García Montero, is responsible for any error of fact or judgment in this book. In fact, I have ignored a great deal of excellent advice. LUP_Mayhew.indd 8 28/3/09 14:33:11 Preface his book arose out of my successive attempts, over the past decade, to define Tthe state of contemporary Spanish poetry. The final section of my 1994 book, The Poetics of Self-Consciousness, was a critique of what I then perceived to be the dominant trend in Spanish poetry of the 1980s: the rejection of avant-garde/ modernist values. In an article written in 1997 and published in Hispanic Review in 1999, I extended this critique by analyzing the explicit rejection of the avant- garde in the poetry and poetics of Luis García Montero and Felipe Benítez Reyes. This article, now chapter 1 of this book, has provoked many reactions. In Spain, it was applauded by poets and critics who shared my own avant-garde bias, and deplored, naturally enough, by the targets of my critique. Many colleagues in the field, including Laura Scarano and Chris Perriam, probably believe that I have gone too far in rejecting the “poetry of experience.” They are correct that my perspective in this article, and in subsequent writings, is a partisan one. Taking the position of a defender of avant-garde values in literature, I attempt to dismantle the arguments made by García Montero and his supporters in order to demonstrate their essentially conservative nature. Others in Spain, on the other hand, have been working along similar lines. Antonio Méndez Rubio’s essays, for example, present a similar critique of García Montero and the “poetry of experience,” using a different theoretical metalanguage but arriving at a conclusion perfectly consonant with my own. My reading of critics like Miguel Casado and José Manuel Cuesta Abad also leads me to conclude that my perceptions are not wholly out of synchrony with those of other well- informed observers of contemporary Spanish poetry. While the “conservative” label is potentially inflammatory, I believe that it fits the phenomenon I am examining in a precise, almost technical sense. The conservative views cultural and social norms as rooted in nature. Any attempt to transgress such norms, from this perspective, are inevitably doomed to fail, since they go against the way things really are. Historically conditioned develop- ments in literature, like nineteenth-century realism, are seen as eternally valid, even biologically based norms, whereas the modernist enterprise of re-thinking LUP_Mayhew.indd 9 28/3/09 14:33:11 10 The Twilight of the Avant-Garde literature from the ground up is seen as an historical anomaly. The return to a realism or verisimilitude based on unquestioned definitions of “human nature” and “normality” is a transparently ideological gesture that cries out for correction. It is true that I fail to explore all of the ways in which poetry written under the rubric of García Montero’s “poetry of experience” might transcend or controvert the ideological presuppositions of this cultural conservatism. This task is perhaps better suited to scholars like Perriam, who are more sympa- thetic to “poetry of experience.” Perriam’s work on Luis Antonio de Villena, for example, shows the limitations of any blanket accusation of conservatism applied to all poets of this group.

  • HAIKU in SPAIN Susana Benet
    HAIKU IN SPAIN Susana Benet At the beginning of the 20th century, when haiku were first introduced to Spanish readers, another strict form of short poetry already existed in our language and was immensely popular among our people; it is called seguidilla. Apart from being the name of a traditional literary form, this word also describes a certain kind of Andalusian gypsy or flamenco songs.Seguidilla is a 5-7-5-7 verse; here is an example of it, a seguidilla written by the famous Federico García Lorca: Hacia Roma caminan Two pilgrims are walking dos peregrinos, to Rome a que los case el Papa, to be married by the Pope, porque son primos. because they are cousins. — (Federico García Lorca. Los peregrinos) There were several factors that contributed to the development of the haiku genre in Spain. First of all, our poets have always been in a close contact with their French colleagues. France was the first country where an attempt was made to adopt this Japanese genre, making it suitable for Western readers. This was the age of modernism and symbolism, the two artistic movements that opposed realism and had as their utmost goal the quest for pure beauty, also assimilating elements of some exotic cultures, not only in architecture and decorative arts, but in literature, as well. Another interesting phenomenon was the development of haiku in South America. In 1919, the first book of haiku in Spanish was published; it was titled One day, and its author, the Mexican poet José Juan Tablada, used the words haikai and “synthetic poems” to describe this particular type of poetry.

  • Baroque Poetics and the Logic of Hispanic Exceptionalism by Allen E
    Baroque Poetics and the Logic of Hispanic Exceptionalism by Allen E. Young A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Hispanic Languages and Literatures in the GRADUATE DIVISION of the UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, BERKELEY Committee in charge: Professor Francine Masiello, Co-chair Professor Michael Iarocci, Co-chair Professor Robert Kaufman Fall 2012 Abstract Baroque Poetics and the Logic of Hispanic Exceptionalism by Allen Young Doctor of Philosophy in Hispanic Languages and Literatures University of California, Berkeley Professors Francine Masiello and Michael Iarocci, Chairs In this dissertation I study the how the baroque is used to understand aesthetic modernity in twentieth-century Spain and Latin America. My argument is that the baroque, in contemporary Hispanic and Latin American studies, functions as a myth of cultural exceptionalism, letting critics recast avant-garde and postmodern innovation as fidelity to a timeless essence or identity. By viewing much contemporary Spanish-language as a return to a baroque tradition—and not in light of international trends—critics in effect justify Spain and Latin America’s exclusion from broader discussions of modern literature. Against this widespread view, I propose an alternative vision drawn from the work of Gerardo Diego, José Lezama Lima and Severo Sarduy. These authors see the baroque not as an ahistorical, fundamentally Hispanic sensibility located outside the modern, but as an active dialogue with the wider world. In very different ways, they use the baroque to place the Hispanic world decidedly inside global aesthetic modernity. In contrast to most contemporary scholarship on the topic, I do not take the baroque to be a predefined aesthetic practice, readily identifiable in seventeenth- or twentieth- century authors.

  • Spanish Women's Poetry of the 1980S and 1990S
    PERIPHERAL VISIONS: SPANISH WOMEN’S POETRY OF THE 1980S AND 1990S DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Tracy Manning Muñoz, B.A., M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Professor Stephen J. Summerhill, Adviser Approved by Professor Rebecca Haidt _____________________________ Adviser Professor Elizabeth Davis Graduate Program in Spanish and Portuguese Copyright by Tracy Manning Muñoz 2006 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the use of vision (the sense of sight) and visuality (social seeing) in four women poets of the 1980s and 1990s in Spain: Ana Rossetti, Maria- Mercè Marçal, Aurora Luque, and Montserrat Abelló. All four combine the use of vision and visuality with questions of gender performance and identity as a challenge to normative and culturally constructed gender(ed) behavior. The very fact that the majority of the lyric voices in their poems does not have a defined gender, as many of the people that they view do not, permits them to move from subjectivation to subjectification. Through the manifestation of gender “difference,” the various lyric voices leave behind their status as marginalized members of Western gendered culture. Although not all of the lyric voices are ungendered or ambiguously gendered, sufficient questions of, and challenges to normative gendered behavior exist to warrant including these four poets in the same study, despite their ostensible differences. The theoretical framework for this study focuses on Freudian ideas of voyeurism and exhibitionism as well as pleasurable and unpleasurable looking (scopophilia and scopophobia), Foucauldian ideas of power, and Lacanian ideas of the mirror stage and subjectivity.

  • Antonio Gamoneda Lobón
    Antonio Gamoneda Lobón Nació en Oviedo el 30 de mayo de 1931. Su padre, poeta modernista en cuyas páginas Gamoneda probablemente aprende a leer, muere en 1932. En 1934 se traslada a León con su madre, cuya presencia como refugio ante la alienación del trabajo, el horror y la miseria de la guerra y la postguerra, es recurrente en toda su poesía. En León sigue residiendo, y tras un brevísimo y limitado aprendizaje académico, que completó a través de sus lecturas personales, desempeña varios oficios, como empleado de una entidad financiera (1945-1969) o gestor de los servicios culturales de la Administración provincial (1969-1977). Colaborador de las revistas Espadaña y Claraboya, se ocupó durante unos pocos años de los servicios culturales de la Administración provincial leonesa, desde donde creó y dirigió la colección "Provincia" de poesía. Antonio Gamoneda es, en la actualidad, además de escritor y poeta, crítico de arte, asesor cultural de la Diputación de León y Director de la Fundación Sierra-Pambley de León, proyección de la Institución Libre de Enseñanza dirigida a la educación de campesinos y obreros. Autodidacta y no integrado en movimiento alguno, nunca ha participado en agrupaciones generacionales y su obra se caracteriza por un extremado rigor y calidad. Se dio a conocer con la publicación, en 1960, de Sublevación inmóvil, que supuso una ruptura con las tradicionales reglas realistas, al que siguen Descripción de la mentira (1977), León de la mirada (1979), Blues castellano (1982) y Lápidas (1987). En 1988 se publicó el libro recopilatorio Edad, galardonado con el Premio Nacional de Literatura, que incluye, además de los libros anteriores, los poemas escritos por Gamoneda entre 1947 y 1960.

  • The Concrete Poetry of Mathias Goeritz: a Graphic and Aural Analysis
    Natalia Torija-Nieto HA-551-05/06: History of Sound Art December 19, 2014 FA14 | Pratt Institute | Instructor: Charles Eppley The Concrete Poetry of Mathias Goeritz: a Graphic and Aural Analysis This essay focuses on the work of German-Mexican artist Mathias Goeritz as influenced by the performances and writings of Hugo Ball and Dada sound art and poetry. Goeritz’s rather spiritual approach towards the pursuit of the Gesamtkunstwerk, are key to understand the roots of his work and his short but noteworthy venture into concrete poetry. The aural component in the realization of his work is associated with the adapted readings and performances of this kind of poetry worldwide during the 1950s and 60s with artists such as Eugen Gomringer, Augusto and Haroldo de Campos, Décio Pignatari, and Mary Ellen Solt, among others. By historicizing the main influences and artists that inspired these poets, I will explore the consequent concrete poetry movement of the post-war era that is visible through their works, particularly on Mathias Goeritz. !1 In his essay on concrete poetry, R.P. Draper defines the term as “the creation of verbal artifacts which exploit the possibilities, not only of sound, sense and rhythm—the traditional fields of poetry—but also of space, whether it be the flat, two-dimensional space of letters on the printed page, or the three-dimensional space of words in relief and sculptured ideograms.”1 Concrete poetry challenges the conventional expressiveness of traditional poetry by considering its play of visual, graphic, and aural qualities. This essay presents examples of the work of Mathias Goeritz and his Latin American contemporaries, particularly the Brazilian group Noigandres formed by Haroldo and Augusto de Campos and Décio Pignatari, who first introduced the term “concrete poetry” in 1953.

  • La Voz De Jaime Sabines
    LA NOCHE DE LOS LIBROS Presentación del audiolibro La voz de Jaime Sabines El próximo viernes 23 de abril, a las nueve de la noche, tendrá lugar en la Residencia de Estudiantes la presentación del audiolibro La voz de Jaime Sabines, editado por Publicaciones de la Residencia de Estudiantes gracias al patrocinio de la Fundación Autor de la Sociedad General de Autores y Editores. En el acto intervendrán los poetas Esperanza López Parada y Tomás Segovia, así como Eduardo Bautista, Presidente del Consejo de Dirección de la SGAE. Esta presentación forma parte del programa de La noche de los libros que por quinto año consecutivo organiza la Consejería de Cultura y Deporte de la Comunidad de Madrid. La voz de Jaime Sabines es el volumen 14 de la colección Poesía en la Residencia y recoge la lectura de poemas que el autor ofreció en la Residencia de Estudiantes el 12 de diciembre de 1997. Sabines recorre en orden cronológico los distintos registros de su extraordinaria obra, desde el poema «Lento, amargo animal», al que considera su tarjeta de presentación, hasta algunos de la serie dedicada a su padre «Algo sobre la muerte del Mayor Sabines» —leídos por primera vez en público, según su propia confesión—, pasando por composiciones de casi todos sus libros. El volumen incluye un disco compacto con la grabación de la lectura, junto a su transcripción, una breve reseña biográfica acerca de la vida y obra del poeta y un índice de procedencia de los poemas. Jaime Sabines (Chiapas, 1926 - Ciudad de México, 1999) comenzó a estudiar Medicina, pero abandonó esta carrera para cursar Letras en la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), donde se licenció en Lengua y Literatura Española.
