McBride-Limaye: Constructing the "New World" in the Works of Carlos Fuentes 44 CONSTRUCTING THE "NEW WORLD" IN THE WORKS OF CARLOS FUENTES ANN McBRIDE-LiMAYE The development of Mexican culture was a cross-civilizational proc ess. Through her sixteenth-century conquests in the western hemisphere, Spain imposed history on the New World, and in effect she created the New World. Of course it is well to remember that there were two Old Worlds, indigenous and European, two different forms of hegemony, two displaced orders which would combine to produce a colonial mestizo culture, a mixed-blood culture born of the forcible cross between indi genous Aztec and Spanish civilizations . Mestizaje (miscegenation) is the central fact in the New World, a fact which calls up an inevitable chain: the Spanish conquest of the Americas recalls the Spanish reconquest of the Iberian peninsula and the resulting expUlsion of the Moors and the Jews. -
Juan E. De Castro. Mario Vargas Llosa. Public Intellectual in Neoliberal Latin America
Juan E. De Castro. Mario Vargas Llosa. Public Intellectual in Neoliberal Latin America. Tucson: University of Arizona Press, 2011. Print. 179 Pp. ──────────────────────────────── CARLOS AGUIRRE UNIVERSITY OF OREGON Mario Vargas Llosa, one of Latin America’s most important writers and intellectuals and the recipient of, among numerous other awards, the 2010 Nobel Prize in literature, is not only the author of an admirable corpus of novels, theater plays, and essays on literary criticism, but also somebody that has been at the center on countless political and literary controversies ever since he came into the literary and political spotlight in 1962 when he won the Biblioteca Breve award for his novel Time of the Hero at the age of twenty-six: the novel was received with great hostility in his home country, Peru, where prominent members of the military accused him of being a Communist and a traitor; in 1967, when he won the Rómulo Gallegos prize for his novel The Green House, he engaged in a dispute (at that time private) with Cuban officials such as Haydeé Santamaría who allegedly wanted him to make a fake donation of the cash prize to Che Guevara’s guerrilla movements; in 1971, he publicly and loudly denounced the Cuban government after the imprisonment and public recounting of Heberto Padilla and other writers accused of counter-revolutionary activities; in 1974, he criticized the confiscation of media in Peru by a military regime that he had hitherto supported and became the subject of a fierce polemic in his country; in 1976, he was -

Krause's Carlos Fuentes: Toward the Creation of a Myth Alfonso
Krause's Carlos Fuentes: Toward the Creation of a Myth Alfonso Gonzalez, California State University, L.A. According to a recent article written by Enrique Krause, a Mexican biographer, and published simultaneously in English and Spanish as "The Guerrilla Dandy," and "La comedia mexicana de Carlos Fuentes," Fuentes is not a Mexican writer but an American actor: "The United States produces actors for movies, for television, for politics. Now and then it produces actors for literature, too. Carlos Fuentes is one of them."1 This article also talks about Fuentes's fiction: "Fuentes writes works without a center: vast confused, formless, and oppressive literary happenings . ." (33). The shock of these affirmations was felt on both sides of the border, as evidenced by the number of responses condemning them.2 The purpose of this article is to put Mr. Krause's allegations into perspective and suggest they give a distorted view of the writer. Krause's commentaries, contradictory to the generally held belief that Fuentes is an outstanding Mexican writer, give us a new image of the writer. Independent of any merit of Fuentes's life or writings, they create the image of Carlos Fuentes, the myth. Enrique Krause bases his characterization of Fuentes on: (1) a recent autobiographical account, Myself and Others; (2) hearsay from some of the author's acquaintances; (3) the introduction to the first and only volume of Fuentes's Obras Complétas (Complete Works, 1973) and (4) a few well-known characteristics of Fuentes's writings. We are told that the writer is an American: "He was a gringo child of Mexican origin, born in Panama" (28). -

Entrevista/Interview Written in the Margins: “Doing the Job Right”. an Interview with Elena Poniatowska.1
Vol. 8, No. 1, Fall 2010, 349-370 www.ncsu.edu/project/acontracorriente Entrevista/Interview Written in the Margins: “Doing the job right”. An interview with Elena Poniatowska.1 Pedro García-Caro University of Oregon A Carlos Monsiváis “…no me calienta ni el sol”’ Elena Poniatowska received an invitation from the Latin American Studies Program at the University of Oregon to deliver the annual 1 English translation by Pedro García-Caro. The original version in Spanish will appear in the journal Cartaphilus (Universidad de Murcia, Vol 7, 2010). García-Caro 350 Bartolomé de las Casas Lecture in May of 2010. Interviewing Elena Poniatowska, talking with her, creates an immediate feeling of deep familiarity that sustains the notion that literature and culture can help heal the world. Reading her works and meeting her are both equally satisfying confirmations that writing can be more potent and truthful than those well-known publishing schemes through which a multitude of writers endeavor to establish themselves as courtesans and hacks. One vaguely remembers the many arrogant writers, young and old, who are trapped in their looking-glass galleries of jealousy, recognition anxiety, disregard for critics and public fear, but they are summarily forgotten in the face of the real chronicler of a country and a century. Elena’s gaze, her memory, her word shine and show the profound empathic humanity with which she writes—a true humility that allows her to disappear in order to give life to others, to help and rescue them. For Poniatowska, the people who inhabit her writings are the intended recipients of prizes and public recognition. -

Cervantes Y El «Quijote» En Algunas Novelas Españolas De Nuestro Tiempo
CERVANTES Y EL QUIJOTE EN ALGUNAS NOVELAS ESPAÑOLAS DE NUESTRO TIEMPO Ángel Basanta La influencia directa o indirecta de Cervantes en la novela actual -como en la de cualquier época posterior a la aparición del Quijote- ofrece un campo de estudio tan amplio y diverso que, para no perderse arrastrados por el vér tigo, exige inicialmente una rigurosa delimitación de los contenidos que una breve exposición como ésta se propone abarcar. Por eso, sin rechazar de ante mano posibles referencias a otras obras cervantinas y a algún escritor ante rior a la guerra civil (por ejemplo, Unamuno), me ceñiré aquí a la presencia explícita o implícita del Quijote en algunas novelas españolas de los últimos treinta años. Y aun así, con un tiempo y un espacio claramente limitados (no velas españolas de nuestro tiempo), se corre el peligro de caer en situaciones extremas como la mera acumulación de apuntes eruditos o la enumeración de coincidencias tan ocasionales como superfluas. Porque Cervantes sabía muy bi.en que en su aparente afán de acabar con un género literario ya pasado de moda encubría otra ambición mucho más trascendente: inventar otro nero literario nuevo. Y como con el Quijote "asumió un puesto tan destacado en el canon de los clásicos europeos y se encontró tan cerca de los orígenes de la novela, estaba destinado a figurar en la formación de casi todos los demás novelistas».l Fue un ensayista francés, René Girard, quien afirmó que «no hay una idea de la novela occidental que no esté presente en germen en Cervantesl>.2 Sin pretender atribuirle todas las paternidades posibles, es claro que Cervantes se encontrará siempre en el origen de este o aquel procedimiento, porque él llevó a cabo la ideación de un género libérrimo, en el cual se cumple como única regla la de transgredidas todas.
