I am grateful to my current and former colleagues at Washington University in St. Louis who have read and commented on various chapters at different stages of writing. I especially thank Elzbieta Sklodowska for her unflag- ging support as chair of the department and as my colleague and friend. I also thank my colleagues in the Spanish section: William Acree, Joe Barcroft, Cindy Brantmeier, Nina Davis, John Garganigo, Stephanie Kirk, María Fernanda Lander, Mabel Moraña, Eloisa Palafox, Ignacio Sánchez Prado, Joseph Schraibman, Claire Solomon, and Akiko Tsuchiya; all of whom have been very helpful with suggestions and encouragement throughout the evolution of the book. Indeed, the faculty from all the language sections and a wonderful staff (Rita Kuehler, Kathy Loepker, and Helene Abrams) have been a great support just by making the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures such a pleasant place to work. My many students who have taken graduate and undergraduate seminars over the past several years at Washington University and at Middlebury College have also been of great help. Those courses served as a wonderful testing ground for most of these ideas and my students’ own excellent readings and comments on the various novels and films under discussion in the book have been very enriching. I also recognize the support of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences that has supported much of the research involved in the book with a series of grants over the years. There are many colleagues outside of my university who have also been extremely supportive and helpful over the years, x ACKNOWLEDGMENTS sometimes reading pieces, sometimes with helpful comments at conferences and other places. Any list would be incomplete and I apologize in advance to anyone I neglect to mention, but I would like to recognize and thank especially Daniel Balderston, Alicia Borinsky, Catherine Boyle, Pablo Brescia, Raúl Bueno, Claudio Canaparo, Michelle Clayton, Rafael Courtoisie, Diamela Eltit, Genevieve Fabry, Alberto Fuguet, Libby Ginway, Jerry Hoeg, David Laraway, Rob Latham, Gastón Lillo, Dianna Niebylski, Patrick O’Connell, Edmundo Paz Soldán, Lois Parkinson Zamora, Gustavo Pellón, Eugenia Prado, Luis Rebaza Soraluz, Cristina Rivera Garza, and Mike Wilson Reginato for their comments and for the conversations that we have shared on this topic over the years. Adria, Colin, Eva, and Liam have tolerated my fixations on cyborgs these last few years and have been so gracious as to show interest in these obsessions and share insights that I would not otherwise have encountered. Amy is a constant source of support and I dedicate this book, as I do all my work, to her. I would also like to acknowledge that portions of this book have appeared in earlier forms in various articles. Sections of chapter 1 appeared as “Sobrevivientes y cyborgs: Cine argentino al final de la dictadura.” Cine, Historia y Sociedad: Cine argentino y brasileño desde los años 80. Ed.

In chapter 2, the section on Eugenia Prado appeared earlier as “Identidad poshumana en Lóbulo de Eugenia Prado.” Revista Iberoamericana 73.221 (October–December 2007): 801–12. Chapter 3 was expanded considerably from “Ripped Stitches: Consumerism, Technology, and Posthuman Identity in Rafael Courtoisie’s Tajos.” Journal of Latin American Cultural Studies 15.2 (August 2006): 127–42. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS xi Elements of chapter 4 appeared earlier as “Hacking the Past: Edmundo Paz Soldán’s El delirio de Turing and Carlos Gamerro’s Las Islas.” Arizona Journal of Hispanic Cultural Studies 10 (December 2006): 115–29. I express gratitude to the journals and presses that have granted permission for these sections to appear in this book. Introduction From the late nineteenth century, robots and artificial humans have gathered at the periphery of Latin American cultural production. Eduardo Holmberg’s robots from his 1879 novella Horacio Kalibang o los autómatas took center stage in the work of an author who never arrived at the center of Argentina’s liter- ary circles. A couple of decades later, Horacio Quiroga, an author whose production has an important place in the Latin American literary canon, kept his novella Hombre artificial (1909) at the edge of his own oeuvre, publishing it as a serial under a pseudonym. While writers and artists have returned to the idea of technological life in a variety of venues since then, from Ernesto Sabato’s scientific and technological paranoia (Hombre y engranajes 1951) to Julio Cortázar’s fear of a cyber- netic revolution (Rayuela 1963), only recently has a consider- ation of corporeal identity at the encounter of the mechanical and the organic occupied a central space in Latin American culture. These earlier works presented the various robots, artificial life forms, and technophilia as harbingers of a failing civilization, of the effects of scientific hubris and the uncritical acceptance of new technologies. Holmberg’s robots were meta- phors for the dangers he saw in uncontrolled immigration in nineteenth-century Argentina; Quiroga’s artificial man was a retelling of the Frankenstein story. Even Sabato and Cortázar’s more recent works held fast to the idea that the embrace of new technologies resulted in the loss of an essential identity.1 Recent narratives from various countries in Latin America have simul- taneously extended and problematized this vision of techno- logical life, and done so with much greater frequency than we have seen in the past, with both established and new artists 2 CYBORGS IN LATIN AMERICA working through the implications of a culture increasingly impacted by new technology. Cyborgs in Latin America exam- ines this meeting point in recent Latin American narrative, film, and cultural production where one increasingly finds cybernetic bodies and technological identity at the sociopolitical intersection of military dictatorship and neoliberal policy. These developments in Latin American cultural expression occur simultaneous to the development of a theoretical vision of the posthuman by critics such as Donna Haraway, N. Katherine Hayles, and Chris Gray. Embracing the revolutionary potential of the figure, especially as it challenges patriarchal and heter- onormative values, these theorizations often fail to transcend the North American and European contexts in which they are articulated. Cyborgs in Latin America theorizes a peculiarly Latin American vision of technological identity in the postdicta- torial, neoliberal reality that is not the case in the situations where we find cyborg and posthuman theory most often cited. By including the narrative, cinematic, and cultural production of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Mexico, and Uruguay, this book examines an articulation of cultural identity that incorporates the technological and organic realities of cybernetic being in a way that extends and challenges current theories of cyborg life. These theories have contributed in important ways to my thinking about the role of the posthuman in Latin American cultural production, and the dialogue that occurs when we put these theories in conversation with various Latin American countries I find particularly fruitful. While I include various forms of narrative in the book, from more traditional short stories, novels, and films to performance art and advertising, my focus is on narrative and each chapter has novels at its center. The decision to focus the study this way is conscious, and I am aware of the way that this study purports a cultural studies approach even as it is largely a literary study.

    Unit 3 The Repressed and the Repressors Introduction First we will kill all of the subversives; then…we will kill all of their sympathizers; then…those who remain undecided, and finally we will kill the indifferent ones. ~General Ibérico Saint-Jean, May 26, 1977 This quote by General Ibérico Saint-Jean attests to the clear and horrific plan of the junta’s Process of National Reorganization (El Proceso) to eliminate anyone considered an enemy of the state. In contrast to Saint-Jean’s clarity, the Argentines were left to wonder why people were arrested or disappeared. The media was not a reliable source of truthful information and people lived in fear of the government as well as their neighbors. In Unit 3, students will learn more about life in Argentina during this Dirty War from exiled writer Eduardo Galeano. They will learn about human rights organizations, and role-play a meeting with the OAS, government officials and prisoners. Essential Questions Lessons I-III • How does literature help us understand the human spirit? • How do writers express their most important sociopolitical views? • How does a writer’s style impact our understanding of sociopolitical events? • How can literature inspire social change? • How can we use databases to access information? • What is the role of human rights organizations? • How do human rights organizations engender change? Objectives Students will: • read and discuss literature by exiled writers • research human rights organizations • role-play a meeting with the OAS • read a science fiction comic strip Lesson I Century of the Wind Elise Piazza Weisenbach A.

Dedico este trabalho a meu pai e minha mãe, dos quais a perda, nos últimos quatro anos, foi a mais sentida dentre todas as que eu tive. Os fragmentos, retalhos e restos da vida cotidiana devem ser repetidamente transformados nos signos de uma cultura nacional coerente, enquanto o próprio ato da performance narrativa interpela um círculo crescente de sujeitos nacionais. Na produção da nação como narração ocorre uma cisão entre a temporalidade continuísta, cumulativa, do pedagógico e a estratégia repetitiva, recorrente, do performático.

    La Organización Internacional del Trabajo La Organización Internacional del Trabajo fue fundada en 1919 para promover la justicia social y contribuir así a una paz universal y duradera. Su estructura tripartita es única en el sistema de las Naciones Unidas y está compuesta por representantes de los gobiernos, de los trabajadores y de los empleadores. Estos tres constituyentes participan activamente en el Consejo de Administración, en la Conferencia Internacional del Trabajo – que se celebra cada año para debatir cuestiones sociales y del mundo del trabajo – y en numerosas reuniones. En el transcurso de los años, la OIT ha elaborado un código internacional del trabajo, con convenios y recomendaciones que se someten a la aprobación de los Estados Miembros y que tratan, entre otros temas, de la libertad sindical, empleo, política social, condiciones de trabajo, seguridad social, relaciones de trabajo y administración del trabajo. Por intermedio de sus oficinas locales y equipos multidisciplinarios instalados en más de cuarenta países, la OIT suministra asistencia técnica y asesoramiento especializado a los Estados Miembros, en diferentes áreas: derecho laboral y relaciones de trabajo, promoción del empleo, formación para el desarrollo de pequeñas empresas, gestión de proyectos, seguridad social, seguridad de los trabajadores y condiciones de trabajo, compilación y difusión de estadísticas del trabajo y educación obrera. Publicaciones de la OIT La Oficina Internacional del Trabajo es a la vez el secretariado y el centro de investigaciones y de edición de la Organización.

  • Nuevo Cine Argentino De Rapado a Historias Extraordinarias Veinticinco Años, Veinticinco Libros
    Nuevo Cine Argentino De Rapado a Historias extraordinarias Veinticinco años, veinticinco libros El ciclo político inaugurado en Argentina a fines de 1983 se abrió bajo el auspicio de generosas promesas de justicia, renovación de la vida pública y ampliación de la ciudadanía, y conoció logros y retrocesos, fortalezas y desmayos, sobresaltos, obstáculos y reveses, en los más diversos planos, a lo largo de todos estos años. Que fue- ron años de fuertes transformaciones de los esquemas productivos y de la estructura social, de importantes cambios en la vida pública y privada, de desarrollo de nuevas formas de la vida colectiva, de actividad cultural y de consumo y también de expansión, hasta ni- veles nunca antes conocidos en nuestra historia, de la pobreza y la miseria. Hoy, veinticinco años después, nos ha parecido interesante el ejercicio de tratar de revisar estos resultados a través de la publica- ción de esta colección de veinticinco libros, escritos por académicos dedicados al estudio de diversos planos de la vida social argentina para un público amplio y no necesariamente experto. La misma tiene la pretensión de contribuir al conocimiento general de estos procesos y a la necesaria discusión colectiva sobre estos problemas. De este modo, dos instituciones públicas argentinas, la Biblioteca Nacional y la Universidad Nacional de General Sarmiento, a través de su Instituto del Desarrollo Humano, cumplen, nos parece, con su deber de contribuir con el fortalecimiento de los resortes cognos- citivos y conceptuales, argumentativos y polémicos, de la democra- cia conquistada hace un cuarto de siglo, y de la que los infortunios y los problemas de cada día nos revelan los déficits y los desafíos.
