The script by Jorge Zuhair Jury brother of director Leonardo Favio and Favio's direction aim to capture the feeling of a dime novel or a radio soap opera there were quite a few about Moreira. This is achieved, with some clumsiness here and there. Moreira's interaction with "honest" politicians is given due weight. A minor point: one would like more about Moreira's beginnings as a law-abiding small landowner and family man. The supporting cast ranges from adequate to very good. The reconstruction of Moreira's times and places is convincing. A movie well worth watching. Almost as soon as they began, these dramas became the main attraction of the circus and one of the most popular forms of entertainment in the late s, resulting in the emergence of a theater- going public and a vibrant cultural marketplace.

Nov 30, Leandro rated it it was amazing. Juan Moreira was a renegade gaucho of Buenos Aires province in the 19th century. Gutierrez' work is a novelization originally serialized of his life and escapades. Though Gutierrez claims he researched the Moreira and spoke with many witnesses, I'm still a little dubious about the novel's historical veracity. However, even taken with a grain of salt, there is something captivating about the short life of this outlaw. The Moreira of the novel is an upstanding, moral man who runs afoul of the Juan Moreira was a renegade gaucho of Buenos Aires province in the 19th century. The Moreira of the novel is an upstanding, moral man who runs afoul of the law because of a local administrator's desire for Moreira's wife. He gets his vengance on the administrator, but is then on the run from the law. The narrative is a little repetitious at times, with knife fight after knife fight. Moreira may be portrayed as a noble figure, yet there's something quite ugly about all the death he leaves in his wake. Yet, over the course of the story, I found myself becoming more sympathetic to his plight. If Moreira isn't quite an existentialist hero, there is something tragically noble about him, a man cut off from society but still living by a code, though he knows full well the best he can expect is to die a good death. I wouldn't call it a classic, but definitely a worthwhile example of the gaucho genre.

Although earlier works have been identified as gauchoesque, the movement particularly thrived from the s to s in Argentina, Uruguay and south of Brazil after which the movement petered out, although some works continued to be written. Gauchoesque works continue to be read and studied as a significant part of Argentine literary history. The movement arose as writers in those countries developed their understanding of their national identities. This is particularly true of even the most modern Uruguayan literature. Latin American & Caribbean Literature & History - Literature Getting High : Marijuana through the Ages. John Charles Chasteen. This fascinating book traces the global history of marijuana, reaching back thousands of years. Noted historian John Charles Chasteen follows the use of the drug since Neolithic times, which makes marijuana among the first domesticated plants. Surprisingly, though, only infrequently has it been used as a recreational drug. Instead, there is a vibrant spiritual dimension to its long history that has been continually ignored. After a tour of Latin America, Africa, India, and the Muslim world, Chasteen concludes that unlike alcohol marijuana has always flourished outside the mainstream. Its principal users have been creative outsiders of many kinds—mystics, artists, musicians, free thinkers, and spiritual seekers—as well as poor laborers attracted by its low cost. Marijuana, it seems, is a mind-expanding drug after all, and Chasteen explores its rich heritage with captivating insight. Inhalt Chapter 1 Getting High. Chapter 2 American Century. Moreira shot him in hte face. He had been hiding in the shadows waiting to strike while Moreira fought other soldiers. Moreira used some neat weapons. Since he was constantly chased by soldiers and police, he also carried two big bore single shot pistols with him all the time. This was specially requested by Moreira. He used it to pary and stop knife, bayonet and saber attacks. Juan Moreira. Of the 16 kills he has accounted, he used his knife in 9 of them. His facon, horse and dog were the only things he really trusted in life, according to his own words. He slept under the stars trusting his dog as a guard and never unsaddling so as to escape quick. This was one of the last gauchos of old. He died in Edited to add: Thought I should mention this; when using pistols, Moreira was very fonnd of shooting to the face. Having entered the house, some general conversation is kept up for a few minutes, till permission is asked to pass the night there. This is granted as a matter of course. The stranger then takes his meals with the family, and a room is assigned him, where with the horsecloths belonging to his recado or saddle of the Pampas he makes his bed. It is curious how similar circumstances produce such similar results in manners. At the Cape of Good Hope the same hospitality, and very nearly the same points of etiquette, are universally observed. These half-wild cattle are very active; and knowing full well the fatal lazo, they led the horses a long and laborious chase. The floor consisted of hardened mud, and the windows were without glass; the sitting-room boasted only of a few of the roughest chairs and stools, with a couple of tables. The supper, although several strangers were present, consisted of two huge piles, one of roast beef, the other of boiled, with some pieces of pumpkin: besides this latter there was no other vegetable, and not even a morsel of bread. For drinking, a large earthenware jug of water served the whole party. Yet this man was the owner of several square miles of land, of which nearly every acre would produce corn, and, with a little trouble, all the common vegetables.

Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Rosa Perelmuter Juan Carlos González Espitia Emilio del Valle Escalante Irene Gómez Castellano John Charles Chasteen © 2016 Emily Joy Clark ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Emily Joy Clark: Gambling in the Mid-Nineteenth-Century Latin American Social Imaginary (Under the direction of Rosa Perelmuter) Economic themes appear in many nineteenth-century Latin American narratives, but the representation of gambling and other forms of speculative capitalist commerce, such as investment, trade, and mining, is a largely unexplored area of critical literary analysis. This dissertation examines the depiction of gambling and other games of chance, as well as financially-speculative endeavors, in eight texts from the mid-nineteenth century throughout Hispanic America, including José Joaquín Fernández de Lizardi’s El Periquillo Sarniento (1816), Eduardo Gutiérrez’s Juan Moreira (1879), Rosario Orrego’s Alberto el jugador (1860), Teresa González de Fanning’s Regina (1886), Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda’s Sab (1841), Alberto Blest Gana’s Martín Rivas (1862), José Ramón de Betancourt’s Una feria de la caridad en 183… (1841, 1858), and José Milla’s Los Nazarenos (1867). In the four chapters of the dissertation, I analyze four different perspectives on gambling and its repercussions in society as it applies to gender (Chapters 1 and 2), social class (Chapter 3), and the role of the citizen in post-independence Latin American nation states (Chapter 4).

  • Appendix 1 the World of Cinema in Argentina
    Appendix 1 The World of Cinema in Argentina A revelation on January 17, 2002. I am headed to the Citibank on Cabildo Street, where I have a savings account. I try to enter the bank but cannot because of the number of people waiting. So I give up on my errand. I cross the street to return home, and from the sidewalk facing the bank I see, for the first time, the building in which it is housed. The familiar is made strange; shortly after, it becomes familiar again, but in a slightly disturbing way. I recognize the building’s arches and moldings, its fanciful rococo façade. I recognize the Cabildo movie theater, in which I saw so many movies as an adolescent. Although I have been coming to this bank for years, I have never before made this connection. I know movie theaters that have been transformed into video arcades, into evangelical churches,1 into parking garages, even into bookstores. Yet I knew of none that had become a bank. All my savings were housed in a space that had been shadows, lights, images, sounds, seats, a screen, film. I remember that around the age of sixteen, I saw Robert Redford’s Ordinary People (1980) on the same day as Alain Resnais’ Last Year at Marienbad (1961) in the Hebraica theater. Two or three movies a day (video didn’t exist then) in which almost everything was film, film, and only film. These are the adolescent years in which cinephilia is born: a messy love, passionate, without much judgment.

Vida en la frontera, malambo y heroísmo en tiempos de cambio: la traducción al inglés de El Gaucho Juan Moreira María Guadalupe Arenillas University of Northern Michigan Los años pasan y son tantas las veces que he contado la historia que ya no sé si la recuerdo de veras o si sólo recuerdo las palabras con que la cuento. Tal vez lo mismo le pasó a la Cautiva con su malón. Ahora lo mismo da que fuera yo o que fuera otro el que vio matar a Moreira. —Jorge Luis Borges, “La noche de los dones” John Charles Chasteen se propuso una tarea no muy fácil: traducir al inglés El Gaucho Juan Moreira, de Eduardo Gutiérrez (The Gaucho Juan Moreira: True Crime in Nineteenth-Century Argentina, 2014), un texto del siglo diecinueve caracterizado por el lenguaje de una época, de Vida en la frontera, malambo y heroísmo 361 una geografía, y de ciertos habitantes en un momento de crisis. Es decir, se propuso trasladar formas de hablar y de pensar que encarnan la transformación de la Argentina en un Estado-nación. Como es sabido, el proyecto de Domingo F. Sarmiento oponía la civilización a la barbarie, representada por los pueblos originarios y los gauchos. La expansión de la frontera hacia el sur, implicaba la erradicación de la llamada barbarie mediante el exterminio de los pueblos originarios y el fin del modo de vida de los gauchos, mientras vigorosamente se promovía la inmigración masiva y el boom de las exportaciones, transformando la economía en las ciudades.

  • American and Argentine Literary Traditions in the Writing of Borges’ “El Sur”
    AMERICAN AND ARGENTINE LITERARY TRADITIONS IN THE WRITING OF BORGES’ “EL SUR” w Ariel de la Fuente l Sur”, Borges said in 1956, “es acaso mi mejor cuento”, and, we can add now, one of the most widely read “E pieces of his repertoire. Borges also said in several occa- sions that the story could be read in more than one way, which ex- plains, in part, the variety of comments that it is has generated. Efraín Kristal has suggested that to write “El Sur” Borges could have been inspired by Thomas Mann’s “The Wardrobe” (133). For John T. Irwin the story is “a figurative account of Borges’ career as a [south- ern] writer” and it could also be “an oblique evocation” of Edgar Alan Poe’s The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym (171, 175). On his part, Juan José Saer (287-8) understands the story is an anti-epic ac- count (the protagonist dies in a bed) that reflects Borges critical posi- tion against the novel whose narrative strategy seems to follow Ambrose Bierce’s “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” and Ernest Hemingway’s “The Snows of Kilimanjaro”.1 Ricardo Piglia, in turn, sees in the story the tension between two contradictory tendencies 1 Saer actually cites the French film based on Bierce’s famous story; Kristal suggests Bierce’s story could be the source of “El Milagro Secreto”, 132-33.
