Cynical Cosmopolitans? Borges, Beckett, Coetzee Arthur James Rose Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Leeds School of English July, 2014 - ii - The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his/her own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others.

The right of Arthur James Rose to be identified as Author of this work has been asserted by him in accordance with the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. © 2014 The University of Leeds and Arthur James Rose - iii - Acknowledgements This work would not have been possible without the careful, intelligent and, above all, patient work of my supervisors, Dr Sam Durrant and Dr Brendon Nicholls. If I remain prone to free association, they have taught me to temper my meanderings with academic rigour. For this, and friendship, I thank them. My parents, Peter and Celia, who, with a strategically placed copy of Edith Hamilton’s Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes, engendered in me a love of books, have borne financial and emotional burdens in helping me see this project to its close. My sister, brother-in-law and nephew, Sarah, Sean and Sebastian, provided solace, a bed and privacy when I needed it (and barrages of guffaws when I didn’t). Chris and Denise Mathew provided a home away from home, and Jill and Imogen Ashfield didn’t give up on me. For this, and love, I thank them. A whole contingent of friends and intellectual comrades helped me to keep calm and carry on. In Leeds, Ashraf Riadh Abdullah taught me his own form of ironic cosmopolitanism, Gustavo Carvajal and Alejandra Ortiz provided shoulders to cry on and Ed Powell made sure that home was always in equal measure a place of laughter and serious conversation. I also thank friends and colleagues in the School of English at the University of Leeds: Adrian Knapp, Henghameh Saroukhani, Katie Elphick, Chris Stone, Ragini Mohite, Emma Trott and Hannah Copley. Fellow thinkers in reading groups helped me to refine my thoughts: Paul Taylor, David Thom, Stefan Skrimshire, Elizabeth Pender, and others too numerous to name. Kasia Mika made sure I ate and had hugs. Michael J. Kelly shouldered my share of Badiou Studies when I could not go on, and remains a great friend and comrade-in-thought. Claire Lozier proved that great friendships may start with Beckett but certainly don’t end with him. John Moles taught me more about ancient cynicism in a half hour than I learnt in five months of reading. Joe Palmer gave intellectual nourishment, care against the odds and a comfy couch. David Sugden put me up for a summer, and put up with me for longer than that. Ruth Swanwick and Jane Taylor got me to laugh at myself. Jane Plastow brought theatre into focus. Mark Taylor-Batty provided support. Friends from a number of other countries helped me when I needed it most. In South Africa, Paul McNally, Ross Esson, Tim and Jeanne Matthis. In South Korea, Chull Wang. In Argentina, Fabian, Sarah, Fiona and Lucas Martinez. To those not enumerated, my apologies: such lists necessarily remain incomplete. Special thanks must be made to Ben Bollig, Adam Winstanley, Maebh Long, Ryan Topper, Peter Rose and Michael Springer who gave of their time and energy so generously to help me tackle issues ranging from the place of Peronism in Argentina to the place of commas in referencing material. Love set my thoughts a-dancing, and loss regulated their steps. To R W-H, for travelling with the kernel of this project, as it tripped along from South Korea, through South Africa and Argentina, to Leeds. To Ruth Kitchen, for supporting me with care, kindness and a great deal of forebearance as the dance swelled beyond my reckoning, and for being there, at the end, when it mattered. This project would not have been possible without the generous financial support of the Ernest Oppenheimer Memorial Trust. I thank Clare Digby and everyone at the Trust for their faith in this project. - iv - Abstract The thesis argues for a form of kynical cosmopolitanism in the late work of Jorge Luis Borges, Samuel Beckett and J.M. Coetzee. Broadly sympathetic responses to these three writers conflate their writing style and their personal habits, and identify them as stoics. Broadly unsympathetic responses conflate their choice of theme and their apparent political quietude, and identify them as cynics. Instead of finding them aligned with stoicism or contemporary cynicism, the thesis draws on work by Peter Sloterdijk and Michel Foucault to recuperate kynicism (ancient cynicism) as a heuristic to explain how the writers consciously exploit a combination of style, theme, habit and political perspective in their late works. The late works of all three writers turn on a performance of the self that takes autobiographical enactment as the starting point for exploring political subjectivity. Following Diogenes of Sinope, who labelled this performative political subjectivity ‘cosmopolitanism’, this thesis argues that the late works of Borges, Beckett and Coetzee must be understood as creating a self-reflexive kynical cosmopolitanism, in which the role of the writer in the world becomes an aesthetic device for engaging with cosmopolitan political subjectivity. - v - List of Abbreviations Diogenes of Sinope DL Lives of Eminent Philosophers, ed.

    1 THE PARROT AND THE CANNON. JOURNALISM, LITERATURE AND POLITICS IN THE FORMATION OF LATIN AMERICAN IDENTITIES By Pablo L. Calvi Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Columbia University 2011 2 © 2011 Pablo Calvi All rights reserved 3 Abstract THE PARROT AND THE CANNON. JOURNALISM, LITERATURE AND POLITICS IN THE FORMATION OF LATIN AMERICAN IDENTITIES Pablo Calvi The Parrot and the Cannon. Journalism, Literature and Politics in the Formation of Latin American Identities explores the emergence of literary journalism in Latin America as a central aspect in the formation of national identities. Focusing on five periods in Latin American history from the post-colonial times until the 1960s, it follows the evolution of this narrative genre in parallel with the consolidation of professional journalism, the modern Latin American mass media and the formation of nation states. In the process, this dissertation also studies literary journalism as a genre, as a professional practice, and most importantly as a political instrument. By exploring the connections between journalism, literature and politics, this dissertation also illustrates the difference between the notions of factuality, reality and journalistic truth as conceived in Latin America and the United States, while describing the origins of Latin American militant journalism as a social-historical formation. i Table of Contents Introduction.

    Sarmiento, Echeverría and Hernández’s Implementation of Historical Reciprocation in Argentina’s Battle of Oppression by Stephen Talbot Buys A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Spanish Auburn, Alabama August 9, 2010 Approved by Patrick Greene, Chair, Assistant Professor of Spanish Jana Gutiérrez, Associate Professor of Spanish Lourdes Betanzos, Associate Professor of Spanish Abstract The socioeconomic state of Argentina during the mid-nineteenth century is characterized by a search for identity and rescue from governmental oppression. The study of various genres of literature is valuable in developing a proper understanding of the problems and remedies presented by the authors of that time period. Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, writer of Facundo, Esteban Echeverría, author of “El Matadero” and La Cautiva, and José Hernández, writer of Martín Fierro offer a fitting variety of works including prose and poetry to this study of their common theme of oppression as a socioeconomic issue in Argentina’s search for identity. Throughout this investigation, each author implements historical reciprocation by utilizing a past event and the drama within the work to diagnose the issue of governmental oppression and offer a prognosis for the future of the nation. Furthermore, a brief biographical sketch of each author offers an understanding of his political and personal viewpoints during the time of composition, while maintaining a consistent theme in light of each works’ variation of literary genre. ii Acknowledgements First and foremost, I thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for providing the ability, will power, and vision to complete this work.

    Clase 15 Caudillos, Montoneras Y Clases Populares En La Primera

    Clase 15 Caudillos, montoneras y clases populares en la primera mitad del siglo XIX Es imposible pensar el paisaje político argentino del siglo XIX sin evocar la figura de los caudillos y su vinculación con las clases populares. Personajes claves de la historia, han sido objeto de pasiones encontradas y miradas maniqueas: para algunos villanos, para otros héroes populares; para unos, encarnación de la barbarie y el primitivismo; para otros, reflejo de austeridad y patriotismo. Originalmente, tomando la acepción castellana, el término caudillo designaba al jefe de ​ ​ mesnada. La irrupción del proceso revolucionario en el Río de la Plata trajo consigo la adopción de este término por parte de las nuevas elites criollas para designar – de manera despectiva– a quienes, desde áreas marginales, detentaban un poder con amplio arraigo popular y lideraban las montoneras. De allí en más, la asociación de caudillo con montonera y federalismo sería ​ ​ explícita. La historiografía liberal, heredera y continuadora de la mirada esbozada por gran parte de los miembros del unitarismo y de la Generación del ’37 – José María Paz, Sarmiento, Mitre, Alberid, Vicente Fidel López, entre otros – presentó, con distintos matices según cada uno de ellos, una mirada muy crítica y condenatoria de la figura de los caudillos. Esta perspectiva, hegemónica durante mucho tiempo tanto en el imaginario colectivo como en la historia escolar, asoció al caudillismo con la barbarie, con un modo de vida arcaico y primitivo asociado al mundo rural, con un vacío institucional producto del regreso a un estado de naturaleza; concebía a las masas campesinas como sujetos pasivos, manipulados por los caudillos.

Il part de Buenos Aires en décembre 1834, ramène la concorde entre les gouverneurs querelleurs et repart vers Buenos Aires par la même route et dans la même voiture qu’à l’aller. Alors qu’il traverse la province de Córdoba, sa voiture est attaquée au lieu-dit Barranca Yaco, le 16 février 1835, et il est assassiné ainsi que toutes les personnes qui l’accompagnent : son secrétaire et ami Ortiz, le postillon, le cocher… En tout, l’attentat aurait fait neuf morts. Les coupables furent finalement arrêtés et exécutés, jugés par la justice de Rosas, l’homme fort de la province de Buenos Aires, invoquant le Pacte Fédéral de 1831 : le chef de bande Santos Pérez, mais également les commanditaires immédiats : deux des quatre frères Reinafé (José Vicente, gou- verneur de Córdoba, et Guillermo), lâchés par leur protecteur, Estanislao López, gouverneur de Santa Fe. Cet événement, qui eut un énorme retentissement dans l’Argentine de l’époque et des répercussions notables sur l’ascension de Rosas et la vie politique argen- tine en général, a, depuis, été maintes fois raconté en vers et en prose, ainsi que par les historiens ou les dramaturges, au point de faire l’objet d’une antholo- gie par Armando Zárate (Facundo Quiroga, Barranca Yaco Juicios y testimonios).
