Download The Las formas del duelo: memoria, utopía y visiones apocalípticas en las narrativas de la guerrilla mexicana (1979-2008) by José Feliciano Lara Aguilar B.J., Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, 2001 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF Doctor of Philosophy in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Hispanic Studies) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) October 2016 © José Feliciano Lara Aguilar, 2016 Abstract This study analyzes six literary works of the Mexican contemporary guerrilla that covers the years 1979 to 2008: Al cielo por asalto (1979) by Agustín Ramos, ¿Por qué no dijiste todo? (1980) and La patria celestial (1992) by Salvador Castañeda, Morir de sed junto a la fuente. Sierra de Chihuahua 1968 (2001) by Minerva Armendáriz Ponce, Veinte de cobre (2004) by Fritz Glockner, and Vencer o morir (2008) by Leopoldo Ayala. In both their form and structure, these narratives address the notion of mourning, as well as its inherent categories, such as: work of mourning or grief work, melancholy, loss, grief, remnants, and specters, among others, which call into question and destabilize the generalized social discourse. In this tension, I observe the emergence of aesthetic languages that take place within the post-revolutionary imaginary of the 1960’s, and 1970’s with the exhaustion of revolutionary imaginary that was predominant in the preceding decades. These aesthetic languages provide mourning with new contents, organized in three fields: memory, utopia, and apocalyptic visions, which recreate mourning as a symbolic space where an important social struggle for the reconstruction of the past is still ongoing. ii Prefacio This dissertation is an original, unpublished and independent work conducted by José Feliciano Lara Aguilar. iii Índice

  • De Ernesto, El “Che” Guevara: Cuatro Miradas Biográficas Y Una Novela*
    Literatura y Lingüística N° 36 ISSN 0716 - 5811 / pp. 121 - 137 La(s) vida(s) de Ernesto, el “Che” Guevara: cuatro miradas biográficas y una novela* Gilda Waldman M.** Resumen La escritura biográfica, como género, alberga en su interior una gran diversidad de métodos, enfoques, miradas y modelos que comparten un rasgo central: se trata de textos interpre- tativos, pues ningún pasado individual se puede reconstruir fielmente. En este sentido, cabe referirse a algunas de las más importantes biografías existentes sobre el Che Guevara, como La vida en rojo, de Jorge G. Castañeda, (Alfaguara 1997); Che Ernesto Guevara. Una leyenda de nuestro siglo, de Pierre Kalfon (Plaza y Janés, 1997); Che Guevara. Una vida revo- lucionaria, de John Lee Anderson (Anagrama, 2006) y Ernesto Guevara, también conocido como el Che, de Paco Ignacio Taibo II (Planeta, 1996). Por otro lado, en la vida del Che, hay silencios oscuros que las biografías no cubren, salvo de manera muy superficial. Algunos de estos vacíos son retomados por la literatura, por ejemplo, a través de la novela de Abel Posse, Los Cuadernos de Praga. Palabras clave: Che Guevara, biografías, interpretación, literatura. Ernesto “Che” Guevara’s Lives. Four Biographies and one Novel Abstract The biographical writing, as a genre, shelters inside a wide diversity of methods, approaches, points of view and models that share a central trait: it is an interpretative text, since no individual past can be faithfully reconstructed. In this sense, it is worth referring to some of the most diverse and important biographies written about Che Guervara, (Jorge G. Castañeda: La vida en rojo, Alfaguara 1997; Pierre Kalfon: Che Ernesto Guevara.

  • Press Release Author A.C. Frieden Follows Che Guevara's Trail in Bolivia
    Press Release Author A.C. Frieden Follows Che Guevara’s Trail in Bolivia VALLEGRANDE, Bolivia (Nov. 22, 2007) -- Author A.C. Frieden traveled to Bolivia to research Che Guevara’s 1960s revolutionary movement in order to complete his upcoming novel Where Spies Go To Die. Arriving in Santa Cruz, Bolivia’s largest city and one of the transit points for Che Guevara and his rebels in 1966, Frieden visited many of the city’s key sites and interviewed a number of locals in preparation for his journey south. Above: Monument dedicated to Che Guevara located in the center of the tiny village of La Higuera, in south-central Bolivia, where the guerrilla leader was executed in 1967. After visiting Samaipata, he went on to Vallegrande to see various sites related to Che Guevara. In particular, Frieden visited the Señor de Malta hospital, where Che’s body was flown to after his execution in La Higuera. Frieden toured the airfield and nearby grounds where Che’s remains and those of his most loyal comrades were secretly buried in 1967. For several days Frieden ventured south from Vallegrande across rugged mountain roads to visit remote villages and trails connected to Che Guevara’s doomed rebellion. After visiting the town of Pucara, Frieden arrived in La Higuera and toured the schoolhouse where Che was executed by CIA-backed Bolivian troops shortly after his capture in the nearby canyon called Quebrada de Yuro. In La Higuera, Frieden interviewed a village elder who had witnessed Che’s arrival into the village 40 years earlier. Frieden returned to Samaipata, where he toured El Fuerte, an archeological site (designated a world heritage site by UNESCO) that was inhabited by three populations over several centuries: the Amazonian, Inca and Colonial civilizations.

Hahn, B.A., M.A. Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Texas at Austin May 2016 News on Film: Cinematic Historiography in Cuba and Brazil Cory A. Hahn, Ph.D. The University of Texas at Austin, 2015 Supervisor: Cesar Salgado, Charles Ramirez-Berg This dissertation is a comparative project that traces the co-evolution of film realism and communications media in Cuba and Brazil. Beginning with the end of Italian Neorealist-inspired movements in both countries in the late 1950s, I examine the ways in which filmmakers from each tradition incorporate radio, print, and televisual journalism into their cinematic narratives. Foundational directors whose bodies of work span and connect the popular filmmaking booms of the 1960s and 1990s—such as Santiago Álvarez, Tomás Gutiérrez Alea, Nelson Pereira dos Santos and Eduardo Coutinho— expose the political and technological systems that form public knowledge and guide civic debate. My research dilates on two internationally celebrated periods of film production concurrent with two shifts in news media paradigms: from radio and print journalism to television and from television to the internet.

  • From Ascetic to Aesthetic: the Catharsis of Ernesto “Che” Guevara
    From Ascetic to Aesthetic: the Catharsis of Ernesto “Che” Guevara By: William David Almeida Cuban Revolution • 26th of July Movement • Commander of the Fourth Column • Battle of Santa Clara Having originally served as the 26th of July Movement’s medical doctor, “Che” quickly rose to the ranks of commandante after demonstrating implacable fearlessness and resolve on the battlefield. Eventually, he would lead the decisive battle in Santa Clara which terminated the Batista regime. Ascetic Progression • Argentina • Cuba • Bolivia Why is it that such a privileged individual abandoned comfort time and time again to place himself into incredibly austere circumstances, and how is it that he became aestheticized (both photographically and intellectually) as a result? The Guevara Family Guatemalan Coup (1954) Tipping Point: This event concretized “Che’s” belief that armed revolution would be the only realistic catalyst to socioeconomic reform throughout Latin America. Excerpts from Che’s Message to the Tricontinetal Congress (1965) • “Latin America constitutes a more or less homogenous whole, and in almost its entire territory U.S. capital holds absolute primacy.” • “Our every action is a battle cry against imperialism and a call for unity against the great enemy of the human race: the United States of North America.” How ironic is it that the image of an individual who plotted terrorist attacks in sites such as Grand Central Station (NYC) has garnered and maintained such an intransigent following in contemporary, post-911 ‘America?’ Dichotomist

  • Tras La Pista Del Che Guevara
    TRAS LA PISTA DE CHE GUEVARA La ruta que Ernesto Guevara siguió en las últimas semanas de su vida Marcello Musto Vallagrande Una fría y estrellada noche me lleva a Vallagrande. Voy en un viejo y destartalado autobús, como todos los destinados a estos remotos trayectos, y comparto el largo viaje iniciado en Santa Cruz, por una carretera de montaña a ratos sin pavimentar, con lugareños que vuelven a casa después de un fatigoso domingo de mercado. A mi alrededor los rostros curiosos de niños envueltos en coloreados sayos y los rostros de adultos marcados por el cansancio. Todos saben porque estoy allí. He venido a realizar La ruta del Che, los lugares donde Ernesto Guevara transcurrió las últimas semanas de su existencia. Aquellos lugares que yo buscaba en el atlas geográfico de mi abuelo durante el verano en que leí, por primera vez, Diario en Bolivia. A la entrada del pueblo hay una gran estatua de Jesús, bajo la cual, a pesar del enorme retraso del coche de línea y de la temperatura por debajo de cero, me espera Anastasio Kohmann. Alemán de nacimiento, llegó a Paraguay en los años sesenta, cuando entró de muy joven en una orden franciscana. Expulsado del país durante la dictadura fascista de Alfredo Stroessner, por su compromiso social en favor de la comunidad indígena guaraní, vive aquí desde entonces. Nunca más ha abandonado la “opción preferencial por los pobres” de la Teología de la Liberación y, desde hace algunos años, coordina las iniciativas de la Fundación Che Guevara en Vallagrande. Quien conoce América Latina bien sabe que esto no es una contradicción.
