Palani, Assistant Professor, Department of English, Adhiyamaan College of Engineering, Hosur-635 109. Page | 1 Abstract Magical Realism is a genre of fiction in which elements blend with the real world. Magical Realism supposedly began in 1935 with its golden age occurring between 1940 and 1950. The term magical realism described contemporary fiction, usually associated with Latin America, whose narrative blends magical or fantastical elements with reality. Magical Realism is the writing of Spanish and Latin American authors. Two people have been credited for coining the term magical realism, Dudly Fitts and Franz Roh. ********* Author: Mr. K. Muthu Murugan Magical Realism is known for changing the way in which one thinks. Instead of seeing the ordinary and mundane, the magical realism brings a spark of life to the imagination, which turn excites the mind of the readers. Magical Realism is an amalgamation of realism and fantasy. It is also known for showing a different view point on life and the way in which people think or Page | 2 act. It does not use dream motifs, nor does it create false words. Magical Realism is unlike other writing style that try to change or dominate the existing seemed to be forced on people and in turn demand attention and gratification. The extraordinary in magical realism is rarely presented in the form of a dream or a psychological experience because doing so takes the magic out of recognizable material reality and placed it into the little understood world of the imagination.

  • New Approaches Toward Recent Gay Chicano Authors and Their Audience
    Selling a Feeling: New Approaches Toward Recent Gay Chicano Authors and Their Audience Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Douglas Paul William Bush, M.A. Graduate Program in Spanish and Portuguese The Ohio State University 2013 Dissertation Committee: Ignacio Corona, Advisor Frederick Luis Aldama Fernando Unzueta Copyright by Douglas Paul William Bush 2013 Abstract Gay Chicano authors have been criticized for not forming the same type of strong literary identity and community as their Chicana feminist counterparts, a counterpublic that has given voice not only to themselves as authors, but also to countless readers who see themselves reflected in their texts. One of the strengths of the Chicana feminist movement is that they have not only produced their own works, but have made sense of them as well, creating a female-to-female tradition that was previously lacking. Instead of merely reiterating that gay Chicano authors have not formed this community and common identity, this dissertation instead turns the conversation toward the reader. Specifically, I move from how authors make sense of their texts and form community, to how readers may make sense of texts, and finally, to how readers form community. I limit this conversation to three authors in particular—Alex Espinoza, Rigoberto González, and Manuel Muñoz— whom I label the second generation of gay Chicano writers. In González, I combine the cognitive study of empathy and sympathy to examine how he constructs affective planes that pull the reader into feeling for and with the characters that he draws.

  • 1 Isabel Allende: Carnalismo and Female Identity
    UNIVERSITY OF MAURITIUS RESEARCH JOURNAL – Volume 21 – 2015 University of Mauritius, Réduit, Mauritius Isabel Allende: Carnalismo and Female Identity S Kotiah Department of English Studies Faculty of Social Studies and Humanities University of Mauritius Reduit E-mail: [email protected] Paper accepted on 27 April 2015 Abstract This article proposes a comparative study of two novels, The House of the Spirits (1982) and Portrait in Sepia (2000) by Chilean author, Isabel Allende. In an attempt to represent various facets of Latin American female identity, this article uses carnalismo as recurring trope while reinstating the particular marginalized positions of these women as a subversive discourse altogether. These women do not rewrite, refashion or expropriate stories merely to satisfy some game-playing or some totalizing impulse. Instead, they juxtapose what we think we know of the past with alternative representations. The running argument in the article is therefore based on a celebration of subversive forms of matriarchy that rule untraditional domestic spaces. Furthermore, different storytelling formulations by the same author reflect certain trends in contemporary narrative, namely the ways in which narratives can turn one`s attention away from an aesthetic past towards a more broadly conceived sense of history as textually mediated and constructed. To this end, theoretical frameworks of carnalismo suggest a desire to attract attention to unequal power relations and a consequent desire to celebrate these women. Keywords: Allende, feminism, Latin American literature, magical realism, narrative, postmodernism. *For correspondences and reprints 1 Isabel Allende: Carnalismo and Female Identity 1. INTRODUCTION This article analyses two of Isabel Allende`s Allende`s family chronicles, The House of the Spirits (1982) and Portrait in Sepia (2000), where a form of female carnalismo works in parallel with magical realism.

  • Eduardo Galeano – ¡Presente!
    Eduardo Galeano – ¡Presente! Eduardo Galeano, the world-renowned leftist Uruguayan journalist and writer made famous with the publication in 1971 of his book The Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent, died today at the age of 74 in Montevideo, Uruguay, where he lived. Long admired as a journalist, with his three-volume Memory of Fire in 1982, Galeano also became known as a writer of non-fiction prose who might be compared to writers of fiction such as Gabriel García Márquez, author of the novel One Hundred Years of Solitude or Isabel Allende who wrote House of the Spirits. Like their novels, his trilogy captures the real spirit of Latin America’s magical history. Born Eduardo Germán María Hughes Galeano in Montevideo on September 3, 1940, Galeano began his career as a journalist in the early 1960s working as a correspondent for Sol and then as an editor for Marcha, which published such writers as Mario Vargas Llosa and Mario Benedetti. When a rightwing military coup took power in Uruguay in 1973, Galeano was jailed and subsequently went into exile, first in Argentina, where he edited Crisis, and then in Spain where he wrote his trilogy Memory of Fire (Genesis, Faces and Masks, and Century of the Wind). Memory of Fire mixed history and journalism in vignettes and biographical sketches written in a creative prose style that reminded American readers of John Dos Passos’ 1930s classic U.SA. triology (The 42nd Parallel, 1919, and The Big Money). Open Veins of Latin America was a detailed, systematic, and sustained attack on European and U.S.

ISSN 1056-3970 Reviewed by Neelam Jabeen1 The title of the book, Sheherazade’s Daughters, serves as a metaphor for Barbara Bennett as she looks at the power the stories of the female authors have, to bring a change, just Like Sheherazade of Thousand and One Nights. Bennett has a PhD in American literature and is a teacher of contemporary literature in North Carolina University and has authored four books before this. Bennett has also devoted her time to wildlife conservation. In Scheherazade’s Daughters Bennett looks at the works of selected female authors to see how their works are instrumental in creating an ecofeminist consciousness among the readers at large.

He quit school when he was sixteen, having studied shorthand and acquired secre­ tarial skills. His first job, as he recalled it, was in a furniture factory, his wages fifty cents for a ten-hour day! In November, 1884, Wilson served as stenographer first in the Omaha of­ fices of the Union Pacific Railroad, and a year later in the Denver offices.

[email protected] 2Assistant Professor of English, Government Arts College (Autonomous), Coimbatore – 18. [email protected] Abstract— Magic realism is a distinct subgenre of writing that works on the mechanism of paradoxes of placing two opposites together to make a rich and complex meaning – the fusion of real and fantastic as Angel Flores calls it ‘amalgamation of realism and fantasy’. Magic Realism can also be read as a Postcolonial weapon as it fight backs the traditional tendencies and the staunch realism of western literature. Female voices have also employed magic realism to say aloud the problems of women across the globe. Magic Realism has thrived well in the hands of women writers across cultures and continents. Toni Morrison, Isabel Allende, Laura Esquivel, Chitra Divakaruni Banerjee, Arundhathi Roy, Sarah Addison Allen, Yaa Gyasi, Raja Alem etc. This paper proposes to bring into limelight the Latin American Women Writers who are often left out to be mentioned along the list of men Latin American writers. Keywords— magic realism, women writer, Latin women writers, themes, food, feminism, cooking, postcolonial, subaltern. Just as realism was a response to romanticism, magic realism, which the Latin American claim to be their magical realism was a reaction to realism.
