  • The Concept of Generation in the Study of Twenty-First Century Mexican Literature: Usefulness and Limitations
    The Concept of Generation in the Study of Twenty-First Century Mexican Literature: Usefulness and Limitations Elsa M. Treviño Investigadora independiente [email protected] Recibido: 15/02/2018 – Aceptado: 05/06/2018 DOI: 10.17533/udea.lyl.n74a06 Abstract: This article analyzes the concept of generation as a methodological tool for con- temporary literary research, advancing its use to characterize aesthetic trends in the artistic production of diverse groups of coetaneous writers. By providing a cultural history of the uses of the category in Mexican literary studies, it examines the applicability and limitations of the concept of generation, highliting the importance of contextual and diachronic aware- ness in its deployment. This study then advocates for an understanding of a generation as a porous sociobiological category that groups several people under a similar Weltanschauung. It contends that the heterogeneity of Mexican cultural nationalism generates an equivocal ground for the literature of the generation of writers born in the 1960s and 1970s, and argues for the consideration of the cluster of Mexican authors born in these decades as a generation. Keywords: Generational analysis, Mexican Literature, Mexican Cultural Studies, Literary Research Methods, Literature of the crack. EL CONCEPTO DE GENERACIÓN EN EL ESTUDIO DE LA LITERATURA MEXICANA DEL SIGLO XXI: USOS Y LIMITACIONES Resumen: Este artículo analiza el concepto de generación como una herramienta metodo- lógica para la investigación literaria contemporánea, proponiendo el uso del concepto para caracterizar las tendencias estéticas en la producción artística de diversos grupos de escri- tores coetáneos. A partir de una historia cultural de los usos de la categoría en los estudios literarios mexicanos, se examinan la aplicabilidad y limitaciones del concepto, recalcando la importancia de la conciencia textual y diacrónica en la aplicación de dicha categoría ana- lítica.

    REVISTA DE CRITICA LITERARIA LATINOAMERICANA Año XXX, Nº 59. Lima-Hanover, 1er. Semestre de 2004, pp. 33-42 EL FIN DE LA NARRATIVA LATINOAMERICANA Jorge Volpi Para Carlos Fuentes, por supuesto Como el tema de estas reflexiones es el futuro de la narrativa latinoamericana, me permitiré citar, in extenso, el célebre artículo del profesor Ignatius H. Berry, catedrático de Hispanic and Chica- na Literature de la Universidad Estatal de Dakota del Norte, pu- blicado en la revista Im/positions en el mes de junio de 2055: Cincuenta años de literatura hispánica, 2005-2055: un canon imposible De vez en cuando ocurre que, en un período histórico restringido, de pronto surge un torrente de escritores que trastoca para siempre una tradición literaria. Los ejemplos son muy conocidos: la Atenas de Peri- cles, el Quattrocento italiano, la Inglaterra isabelina, el clasicismo francés y, por supuesto, el Siglo de Oro español. En Hispanoamérica, una región que llegó muy tarde a la modernidad, la época de esplendor de su literatura no se produjo sino hasta la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Por más que los filólogos y eruditos se obstinen en encontrar anteceden- tes notables en épocas anteriores, la realidad es que no existe ninguna obra escrita en esta región del mundo que resulte universalmente rele- vante antes de la aparición de esa pareja de colosos formada por el ar- gentino Jorge Luis Borges y el mexicano Juan Rulfo. Poco después, surgió al fin un grupo compacto de escritores capaz de convertir a Hispanoamérica en un referente obligado de la cultura occi- dental. Conocido con el nombre poco edificante de boom, su núcleo cen- tral estuvo formado por Julio Cortázar, Carlos Fuentes, Mario V.

  • “I Move, Therefore I Am” Carlos Fuentes’S Transnational Mexicanness
    Chapter 14 “I move, therefore I am” Carlos Fuentes’s Transnational Mexicanness Reindert Dhondt For approximately the past twenty years, Latin American culture has often been addressed from an explicitly “postnational” perspective. This “postna- tional turn” in the humanities can be attributed to the erosion of the nation- state, which is in turn the result of the increasingly intense communications and interdependence between the various regions of the world, known as “glo- balisation” (Castany- Prado 2007: 13; Vertovec 2009: 54). Generally speaking, these studies point out that the concept of nation has ceased to be the princi- pal reference in political, economic or identity discourse. Heavily inspired by the writings of Jürgen Habermas, Mexican sociologist Roger Bartra refers in this regard to a “post-Mexican condition”, stemming from the North American Free Trade Agreement (1994) and the crisis of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (pri) rule in the 1990s, which he believed would pave the way for a pop- ular democratic renewal. In his 1991 article entitled “La venganza de La Ma- linche: hacia una identidad postnacional”, Bartra warns of a “fierce nationalist unification” that smothered Mexico’s multi- coloured society and legitimized authoritarianism, stating that “[…] when I point out the need to overcome cul- tural unease, I am not proposing as a cure an integration to the Anglo- American world parallel to the economic agreements on free trade with the United States and Canada.” (2002: 63) Bartra deconstructs nostalgic nationalist

Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: Oswaldo Estrada Monica Rector Juan Carlos González Espitia Carolina Sá Carvalho J. Agustín Pasten B. i © 2018 Wesley Costa de Moraes ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Wesley Costa de Moraes: Animalidades literarias en la ciudad latinoamericana del siglo XXI (Under the direction of Oswaldo Estrada) This research explores diverse tropes of the animal and animality in literary works published by a selection of authors from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and Peru since the year 2000. These tropes are employed as concise symbols that represent the ambiguities of modernity in Latin American societies. The texts analyzed reflect and problematize the importance assigned to the urban environment as the reference and center of progress in such societies, which builds on the paradigm of civilization against barbarism — an essential component of Latin American imaginaries since colonial times. The animalization of urban spaces questions one of the core principles of the civilizing process: the elimination, control, or use of nature (flora and fauna). Likewise, the presence of animal characters and the animalization of human characters are means to explore inhumane or dehumanizing conditions of life brought forth by modernization. In this research, I demonstrate that these authors navigate the continuities and discontinuities between humans and animals to convey the idea of loss of dignity of the human being and the need to restore/redefine the core values of humanity towards an ethics of social and ecological responsibility.
