Qt06m573tf Nosplash 1496739 Media Laboratories The FlashPoints series is devoted to books that consider literature beyond strictly national and disciplinary frameworks, and that are distinguished both by their historical grounding and by their theoretical and conceptual strength. Our books engage theory without losing touch with history and work historically without falling into uncritical positivism. FlashPoints aims for a broad audience within the humanities and the social sciences concerned with moments of cultural emergence and transformation. In a Benjaminian mode, FlashPoints is interested in how literature contributes to forming new constellations of culture and history and in how such formations function critically and politically in the present. Series titles are available online at http://escholarship.org/uc/flashpoints. series editors: Ali Behdad (Comparative Literature and English, UCLA), Founding Editor; Judith Butler (Rhetoric and Comparative Literature, UC Berkeley), Founding Editor; Michelle Clayton (Hispanic Studies and Comparative Literature, Brown University); Edward Dimendberg (Film and Media Studies, Visual Studies, and European Languages and Studies, UC Irvine), Coordinator; Catherine Gallagher (English, UC Berkeley), Founding Editor; Nouri Gana (Comparative Literature and Near Eastern Languages and Cultures, UCLA); Susan Gillman (Literature, UC Santa Cruz); Jody Greene (Literature, UC Santa Cruz); Richard Terdiman (Literature, UC Santa Cruz) A complete list of titles begins on page 235.

It was made possible by the people who helped transform these often transitory places into sites of connection. I first became interested in late modernism as a graduate student in the Department of Comparative Literature at the University of Califor- nia, Berkeley. I would like to thank Francine Masiello, Tony Cascardi, Miryam Sas, Carolyn Porter, and José Luiz Passos for their advice and influence, and for teaching me about Borges, Benjamin, literatura do Nordeste, and more. Francine and Zé Luiz deserve special thanks for continuing to support my career long after I had left the Bay Area for the Midwest. Between Oakland, Iowa City, Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, South Bend, Indiana, Chicago, and, finally, Madison, Wiscon- sin, I have been lucky to find outstanding interlocutors. The following people took the time to help me think through this project in various ways: Michelle Clayton, Steve Choe, Paul Saint- Amour, Jason Borge, Diana Klinger, Florencia Garramuño, Jennifer Buckley, María Inés de Torres, Paul Ramírez, Sylvia Sellers- García, Teresa Villa- Ignacio, Jaime Ginzburg, Guadalupe Salomon, Allison Schachter, Tom McEnaney, Rielle Navitski, Jillian Porter, and, last but not least, Gonzalo Aguilar, whose own work has taught me much. I would like to give a special thanks to Matt Karush and Jesús Costantino for generously offering to read and comment on parts of the book in its late stages. vii viii ❘ Acknowledgments Support for this research was generously provided by the Univer- sity of Wisconsin– Madison Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate Education with funding from the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation. Additional support was provided by the Mod- ern Language Initiative of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Earlier, an International Dissertation Research Fellowship from the Social Sci- ence Research Council was fundamental in exposing me to the little magazines and periodicals that are an important voice in this study. Additional support from the Latin American Institute at the Univer- sity of California– Los Angeles and the Institute for Scholarship in the Liberal Arts at the University of Notre Dame allowed for follow- up trips to the archives. I would also like to thank all these institutions, along with the librarians and archivists who helped me, in particular those from the Instituto de Estudos Brasileiros, Centro de Document- ación e Investigación de la Cultura de las Izquierdas en Argentina, the Biblioteca Nacional in Buenos Aires (especially Juan Pablo Canala), the Felisberto Hernández Special Collection at American University, and the University of Wisconsin– Madison. For their assistance in tracking down citations, I thank graduate students Ingrid Luna and Javier Mocarquer at Notre Dame and Alec Schumacher, Marin Laufen- berg, and Joelle Tybon at UW– Madison. For furnishing me a screen- ing copy of the Quay Brothers’ Unmistaken Hands: Ex- Voto F.H., I thank Edward Waisnis. Portions of Chapter 1 appeared in Modernism/ Modernity (“Late Modernism, Pulp History: Jorge Luis Borges’ A Uni- versal History of Infamy”) and Luso- Brazilian Review (“Mass Culture and the Laboratory of Late Modernism in Patrícia Galvão’s Parque Industrial”). I am grateful to Johns Hopkins University Press and the University of Wisconsin Press, respectively, for permission to publish these essays here in revised form. I found a wonderfully supportive network at Notre Dame, where the bulk of this book was written, and wish to thank my colleagues in and beyond the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures, in particular Ted Cachey, Zyg Baranski, María Rosa Oliveira Wil- liams, Diana Jorza, Anne García- Romero, Jennifer Jones, and, for their advice and support at critical junctures, Julia Douthwaite and Carlos Jáuregui. For accompanying me in the very last stages, I thank my new colleagues in the Department of Comparative Literature and Folklore Studies at the UW– Madison, in particular Jordan Rosenblum, for his advice and humor, and Mary Layoun, a mentor, colleague, and friend of extraordinary generosity. The modernist reading group I formed Acknowledgments ❘ ix with Dean Krouk at Madison was a touchstone as I put the finishing touches on this manuscript. I would like to give special thanks to those who read the entire man- uscript: the two anonymous external reviewers and Edward Dimend- berg, my series editor. Their suggestions from a variety of disciplines, including modernist studies, film and media studies, and Latin Ameri- can literature, were illuminating. It was a pleasure to work Gianna Mosser and the Editorial Board and production staff of Northwest- ern University Press, and I would like to thank them, along with Tim Roberts at the Modern Language Initiative, for their support. Special thanks go to the Editorial Board of the FlashPoints series for believing in this project and ushering it into fruition. Those people who not only read and commented

  • Marta Riquelme”: Cuando Lo Absurdo Es Lo Real
    “MARTA RIQUELME”: CUANDO LO ABSURDO ES LO REAL “Marta Riquelme”: when the absurd becomes the real María Lourdes Gasillón Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas [email protected] Resumen: El análisis de En torno a Kafka y otros ensayos de Ezequiel Martínez Estrada permite reconocer el concepto de realismo, heredado del autor checo, que usa en sus propias narraciones. En este caso, se aborda uno de sus cuentos, “Marta Riquelme”, en el que construye discursivamente una imagen de “lo otro” en distintos planos textuales: autor, narrador, género, personajes, etc. Al mismo tiempo, este escritor manifiesta una sensación de extranjería en su contexto de producción real y ficcional, es decir, en la creación de textos particulares. Las conclusiones demuestran que Martínez Estrada presenta una imagen propia de lo diferente según la concepción de narrativa tradicional. Palabras clave: Ezequiel Martínez Estrada; literatura argentina; crítica literaria; siglo XX; Argentina. Abstract: The analysis of Ezequiel Martínez Estrada´s Around Kafka and other essays allows to recognize the concept of realism (inherited from the Czech au- thor) that he manages in his narratives. In “Marta Riquelme,” one of his stories, he discursively constructs an image of “the other” upon different textual levels: au- thor, narrator, genre, characters, etc. At the same time, Martinez Estrada manifests a feeling of foreignness in the production of his real and fictional contexts, that is, in the creation of particular texts. The findings show that this writer presents a personal image of “the different” when related to the conception of traditional narrative.
