Contents Introduction: Translating the Book-Object 1 Chapter One: Eloisa Cartonera: Cover Story 11 Chapter Two: Translating El Cerebra Musical 24 Chapter Three: The Musical Brain 37 Works Cited 59 Reist 1 Introduction: Translating the Book Object It may seem odd that the text I chose to translate, El Cerebra Musical by Cesar Aira, is bound by a cardboard cover. It is difficult to make out the title and author that are hand-painted on the cover in red and orange against a yellow background, mirroring the red lettering on the cardboard itself. One can still read the address in Buenos Aires where the box was made, and the words "INDUSTRIA ARGENTINA" are still legible under the title. The barcode on the back is not a proof-of-purchase of the book, but rather of some lost transaction made by the supermarket Dia. It is a flimsy cover, hardly protecting the text within, but no other copy of this book has these same features. This uniqueness is what has made Eloisa Cartonera, the publishing house in Buenos Aires that creates these cardboard books, an inspiration to other "paper picker presses" throughout Latin America, the subject of documentaries, and the starting point of my own lllvestlgatlOn.. .. 1 I found out about Eloisa Cartonera as part of a class that I took titled "Cultural Icons as National Commodities." During one of my last weeks in the city, we visited the workshop in which Eloisa Cartonera CEC) is located. The "cartoneros," or "cardboard pickers," had become an unwanted symbol of Argentina after the 2001 economic crisis. Rather than reject this symbol, the founders of Eloisa Cartonera decided to create cardboard books in order to employ, rather than exploit, the "cartoneros". They are the backbone of the publishing house, supplying the raw materials and hand-painting the covers of the books in this artistic cooperative. Despite being a small, independent press, Eloisa Cartonera is responsible for all aspects of production. The covers reinforce the 1 See Mike Mclean.

The World Fund has established another Cartonera project in Mexico called Amiga Cartonera, http://www.worlclfund.org/cultuntl-agents-initiative.html. Reist 2 materiality of the book because they underscore all the processes that have lead to its production, particularly the work of the "cartoneros" that is the publishing house's name sake.

    Senado de la Nación Secretaría Parlamentaria Dirección General de Publicaciones (S-0023/09) PROYECTO DE RESOLUCIÓN El Senado de la Nación RESUELVE Rendir homenaje a la memoria del Coronel Don Juan Pascual Pringles, héroe puntano de activa participación en la gesta de la Independencia Nacional y Americana, al cumplirse el 19 de Marzo el 178º Aniversario de su fallecimiento. Adolfo Rodríguez Saá.- Liliana T. Negre de Alonso. – Roberto Basualdo. - FUNDAMENTOS Señor Presidente: El próximo 19 de Marzo se conmemora un nuevo aniversario del fallecimiento del Coronel Juan Pascual Pringles, quien dejó grabado su nombre en la historia, ya que con dignidad y heroísmo participó en combates y batallas que consolidaron la Independencia Nacional y Americana, mereciendo las más altas condecoraciones por sus permanentes actos de inusitada valentía. Nacido en San Luis en 1795, fue empleado de comercio hasta que decidió enrolarse en las milicias de caballería de nuestra provincia, en la época en que José de San Martín era gobernador de la provincia de Cuyo. En febrero de 1819 se rebelaron los prisioneros realistas confinados en San Luis, de los cuales la mayor parte eran de las batallas de Chacabuco y Maipú. El más importante de ellos era el general José Ordóñez. Atacaron el cuartel de la ciudad y la casa del gobernador Vicente Dupuy, pero la rápida reacción del pueblo y de los soldados de la guarnición logró vencerlos; entre los héroes de la jornada se contaron el joven Pringles y un comandante riojano de milicias, Facundo Quiroga. Todos los prisioneros fueron muertos. En noviembre de 1819 se incorporó al Ejército de los Andes, en el Regimiento de Granaderos a Caballo, con los que hizo la campaña libertadora al Perú.

Although he used to pride himself on never having read anything that was written about his life or his work, I am sure he would have read it from beginning to end. This is because it is a book of imaginative erudition, or erudite fantasy, an unusual combination which he used with greater originality than anyone else, so that the genre, though of the greatest antiquity, seems now almost to have been invented by him. Like the strange sect of 'Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius' which wished secretly to interpolate a fictitious universe into the real one, Borges too, throughout his life as a writer, sought to distil beings, titles and events which his fantasy had forged into the history and literature of reality.

    Genealogía del Coronel Juan Pascual Pringles Autor: Julián Barroso Rodríguez I - PRESENTACION El objeto de este trabajo es mostrar la genealogía del coronel Juan Pascual Pringles, preclaro guerrero de la Independencia argentina y Héroe máximo de los puntanos. A fin de ubicar al personaje central ,diremos que Juan Pascual Pringles nació en el año 1795, al parecer el día 17 de mayo, el día de San Pascual Bailón, muy posiblemente en la misma ciudad de San Luis.

Inició su carrera militar el 10 de octubre de 1815 cuando se incorporó con el grado de alférez al Regimiento de Caballería de San Luis; ingresó con el mismo grado al Regimiento de Granaderos a Caballo el 8 de noviembre de 1819, en el cuartel de Las Chacras, ubicado en las cercanías de la ciudad de San Luis. Posteriormente intervino en numerosas acciones bélicas, tales como: Pescadores (27-11-1820); Pasco (7-12-1821); Torata (19-01-1823); Moquegua (21-01-1823); Junín (6-08-1824) donde ayudó a salvar al Gral. Necochea; Ayacucho(9-12-1824); en que recibió medalla de oro y el titulo de "Benemérito en grado eminente". De regreso a su Patria ya con el grado de teniente coronel otorgado por Bolivar, actuó en la guerra contra el Brasil, como comandante del Regimiento N017, en las campañas del arroyo Taim y la laguna Merim, año 1828. A las órdenes del Gral José María Paz estuvo en el combate de San Roque(22- 04-1829); en las batallas de La Tablada (22 y 23-06-1829)y de Oncativo (25- 02-1830).
