Chanter Le Poète, Et Inversement. Evaristo Carriego Dans Le Tango Argentin
06,2 I 2021 Archiv für Textmusikforschung Chanter le poète, et inversement. Evaristo Carriego dans le tango argentin Pénélope PATRIX (Lisbonne)11 Summary The once-forgotten poet Evaristo Carriego, since rediscovered by Jorge Luis Borges in his eponymous work Evaristo Carriego (1955), is considered today to be one of the leading Argentinian modernist poets, but also, and most importantly, the inventor of a ‘poetry of the outskirts’ and the creator of one of the major trends in the poetics of contemporary tango, tango canyengue (‘rabble’ tango). This article traces the singular trajectory of the poet: first, a singer of the ‘low life’ of the outskirts of Buenos Aires at the end of the 19th century, of the misfortunes and debauchery of outlaws, prosti- tutes and the working class; inventor of a ‘cantatory’ poetry, which draws on popular song and dance of the time, and which we propose to consider as a form of tanguera poetry. Secondly, his influence on the lyricists of contemporary tango leads us to consider him as the precursor of tango canyengue. Finally, he became a founding and guardian figure of contemporary tango, the object of tributes from the greatest composers, and whose name alone has become a poetic and musical trope that invokes a picturesque imagination of the end-of-the-century suburbs of Buenos Aires. Hence, we are faced with an intermedia corpus, that borrows from the world of popular song to produce a written, erudite and precious poetry, and which in turn becomes one of the main sources of popular song. Carriego’s tanguera poetry effectively interlaces word, sound and movement. -
Transnational Borges and Sandra Cisneros a Dissertati
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles De lo más lindo y de lo más pobre: Transnational Borges and Sandra Cisneros A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Hispanic Languages and Literatures by Audrey Harris 2016 © Copyright by Audrey Harris 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION De lo más lindo y de lo más pobre: Transnational Borges and Sandra Cisneros by Audrey Harris Doctor of Philosophy in Hispanic Languages and Literatures University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Héctor Calderón, Chair This dissertation examines the influence of Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges on the writings of twenty-first century Mexican American author Sandra Cisneros, as well as how reading her work helps us better understand overlooked elements of his writings, including marginality, gender roles, sexuality and the rights to self-definition, agency and self-expression of women and women writers. Though Cisneros is one of the most popular women writers in the United States, the first Chicana writer to be published by a major New York publishing house and an important influence for a new generation of writers, she has been dismissed by many critics as not a serious writer, or primarily a testimonial writer. By linking her writing with Borges, I present her as a United States descendent of the Latin American literary tradition that gained worldwide acclaim during the so-called Latin American literary boom of the 1960s. This dissertation departs from representations of Cisneros as ii solely a Chicana writer linking her instead to a north-south transnational, transborder literary tradition. -

Time, Modernity, and Nostalgia in Evaristo Carriego
BORGES: TIME, MODERNITY, AND NOSTALGIA IN EVARISTO CARRIEGO by FELICIA HAMILTON A THESIS Presented to the Department of Romance Languages and the Robert D. Clark Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts June 2016 An Abstract of the Thesis of Felicia Hamilton for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the Department of Romance Languages to be taken June 2016 Title: Borges: Time, Nostalgia, and Modernity in Evaristo Carriego Mayra Bottaro What is the purpose of nostalgia in literature? How does it respond to modernity? And what is its function as a temporal tool? These are the driving questions behind my research, which will focus on Evaristo Carriego, an early work by Argentine author Jorge Luis Borges. This eponymous biographical work serves more to paint a picture of Buenos Aires in development than to chronicle the life of the man himself. Borges uses popular and historical mythologies to construct a mythic image of the neighborhood Palermo during the early twentieth century. Because of this, the work is often read as a "pre-text", that is, a history that the rest of Borges' writings would reference. I aim to build on this, examining how this particular work creates counternarratives to modernity. I propose an interconnectedness of time, modernity, and nostalgia which enriches an understanding of Carriego through an analysis of Borges' methods of constructing literary worlds in which there are multiplicities of dissonant and converging iterations of time. Beyond simply reading and explaining Carriego as a pre-text, I hope to draw broader conclusions about the impact of various iterations of time in a modern and postmodern culture.
