  • 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.

  • La Mandrágora, Surrealismo Chileno: Talca, Santiago Y París*
    La Cabina Invisible Introducción a lo desconocido La Mandrágora, surrealismo chileno: Talca, Santiago y París* Por Ignacio Rojas En el último tiempo los recuerdos del grupo Mandrágora y sus fundadores han vuelto a resonar con reediciones, antologías y otras publicaciones. Lo atestiguan recientes trabajos como la antología dedicada a Braulio Arenas, Braulio Arenas, realidad desalojada (2009) de Ernesto Pfeiffer y una publicación que la precede, La Mandrágora surrealismo chileno: Talca, Santiago y París (2008), concretada por la Editorial de la Universidad de Talca con prólogo, introducción, selección y edición de Naín Nómez. Esta última confirma una tendencia natural, una larga interrogación puesta sobre la mesa, y que ha tomado forma – con los años–, en particular con la revitalización de este fenómeno tardío de las vanguardias en Chile que fue la Mandrágora. El libro tiene sus motivos muy bien trazados, y por sobre todo, su horizonte muy bien delimitado: “Nuestro libro no pretende ser una contribución original, sino sólo dar a conocer de una manera lo más amplia posible el significado del grupo en el contexto literario chileno e internacional, sus principales presupuestos y estéticas, así como una muestra representativa de sus escritos, para divulgarlos entre académicos, estudiantes y lectores interesados en la historia cultural de nuestro país”. La edición en sí representa una introducción al patrimonio cultural tanto nacional como talquino (dado que el grupo tuvo su nacimiento en Talca), al mismo tiempo que trae a la memoria una alianza de ideas –la Mandrágora– estimuladas por la ebullición de las vanguardias europeas, cuya réplica criolla poca atención ha tenido. Es importante destacar * Nómez, Naín.

  • Huidobro's Futurity: Twenty-First Century Approaches Hispanic Issues on Line 6 (2010) Huidobro's Rose: the Environmental
    5 Huidobro’s Rose: The Environmental Dialectics of Creacionismo Christopher M. Travis Si aceptáis las representaciones que un hombre hace de la Naturaleza, ello prueba que no amáis ni la Naturaleza ni el Arte. —Vicente Huidobro, “Creacionismo” 739 (If you accept human representations of Nature, that proves you love neither Nature nor Art.)1 Ecopoetics reawakens the pre-scientific magic of naming —Jonathan Bate, The Song of the Earth 175 The twenty-first century has already witnessed the rapid yet conscientious growth of an evolved non-anthropocentric approach to literary theory that is sensitive to the role of the non-human world in the dialectics of contemporary literature. Studying the treatment of nature in poetry, as subject as well as object, environmental criticism (or ecocriticism) is quick to alert interested readers that it has moved far beyond a descriptive appreciation of nature as static, a limited metaphor for beauty, peace, or balance. Certainly the universal scope of Vicente Huidobro’s creacionista aesthetics includes a powerful poetic dialogue with the forces of nature, lending itself to a rigorous re-reading according to the principles of environmental criticism. His “Arte poética” of 1916, along with other poetry and manifestos marked a well studied departure from Latin American modernismo and the advent of the vanguardia, challenging the objectification of nature as aesthetic fetish and proposing a more active dialogue with the non-human world. “Por qué cantáis la rosa, ¡oh Poetas! / Hacedla florecer en el poema” (Huidobro 1981; 219) (Oh Poets, why sing of roses! / Let them flower in your poems).2 In Altazor and other works from this self-proclaimed creacionista, the poetic process of search and aspiration, accompanied by the consciousness of failure, degeneration and regeneration presents a form of dialectical inquiry that actively acknowledges the forces Huidobro’s Futurity: Twenty-First Century Approaches Hispanic Issues On Line 6 (2010) 94 TRAVIS of nature.

  • 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.

  • THE REDISCOVERY of JORGE CARRERA ANDRADE This Is a Very Momentous Day at Assumption College As the Life and Literary Works of Jo
    THE REDISCOVERY OF JORGE CARRERA ANDRADE This is a very momentous day at Assumption College as the life and literary works of Jorge Carrera Andrade are celebrated through the good graces of our friend Juan Carlos Grijalva . I have read and translated Latin American literature for two decades and yet in 1998 the name of Jorge Carrera Andrade was not prominent in the universe of important Latin American writers available in English translation. I did not know who he was. I then discovered Carrera Andrade in an anthology of European poets published in the 1960s -for he had already lived on and off for decades in Paris as Consul General, Ambassador to France and employed at UNESCO- and I was immediately taken by one poem in this collection: LIFE OF THE GRASSHOPPER Always an invalid he wanders through the field on green crutches. Since five o'clock the stream from a star has filled the grasshopper's tiny pitcher. A laborer, he fishes each day with his antenna in the rivers of air. A misanthrope, at night he hangs the flicker of his chirp in a house of grass. Leaf rolled up and alive, the grasshopper keeps the music of the world written inside. The images of Carrera Andrade are so simple and clear even a child can see and understand. His poetry is the result of the poet’s intense magical engagement with nature, with the Indians of his native Ecuador, with the landscape of Ecuador itself and other places of the world he has traveled. I began researching this poet and fell in love with his work but continued to puzzle over the fact he was unknown in English during my own era and not represented in the major anthologies of Latin American poetry.

  • A Brief History of Ecuadorian 'Ornithofily'
    Cotinga29-080304.qxp 3/4/2008 10:41 AM Page 15 Cotinga 29 A brief history of Ecuadorian ‘ornithofily’ Juan F. Freile Received 5 July 2007; final revision accepted 23 December 2007 Cotinga 29 (2008): 15–18 Presento un breve resumen de la historia de la ornitofilia, la afición por las aves, en Ecuador. El desarrollo de este ‘hobby’ en Ecuador es reciente y está en notable ascenso, aunque la investigación ornitológica lleva ya más de un siglo de vida. Los primeros albores de la ornitología en Ecuador fueron protagonizados por investigadores extranjeros, y recién hacia 1940 apareció el primer ecuatoriano en escena. De igual forma, el aviturismo también empezó como empresa de agencias internacionales (hacia 1980), pero los últimos diez años han visto el surgimiento de operadoras nacionales con guías de primer orden. Espero que esta reseña, junto con otras publicaciones previas sobre el desarrollo de la ornitología en Ecuador, incentiven la formación de una asociación nacional de observadores de aves, así como el incremento del trabajo de campo y la investigación. Bird observation is the most popular nature-related five additional species from the western lowlands of activity, and now involves considerable sums of Ecuador (probably the surroundings of Guayaquil, money10. Bird enthusiasts number millions in his hometown) are mentioned. The most notable Europe and North America, with some of the oldest example, however, is Jorge Carrera Andrade, ornithological and bird protection societies renowned as one of the most brilliant Ecuadorian numbering between 500,000 and 1,000,000 poets. Carrera Andrade, whose work appeared from members (e.g., the National Audubon Society, in the 1922 through 1972, wrote several poems devoted to USA, and Royal Society for the Preservation of birds, such us ‘Golondrinas’ (Swallows), and Birds, in the UK).
