Brief versions of my conceptualizations of social space, space of catastrophe, and archi-textures apperared in “Carlos Mérida’s ‘Goce Emocional’: An Aesthetics Proposal Cir- cumventing the Space of Catastrophe of Mexican Nationalism,” published in The Comparatist (vol. 41, 2017, pp. 41–59). I also presented early ideas on the relationship between friendship, Puerto Rican soldiers, and U.S. wars in “The Affective Politics of Friendship in Puerto Rican War Stories,” which appeared in Latino Studies (vol. 13, no. 2, 2015, pp. 207–26). Latin American Research Review (vol. 53, no. 2, 2018) published an early version of chapter 5. This book is also the product of a very long journey, filled with many brilliant and generous interlocutors. My initial reflections developed in close dialogue with Malena Rodríguez Castro and Juan G. Gelpí at the University of Puerto Rico (UPR), where they first introduced me to the literary contexts of Mexico and Chile, to the com- plexity of cultural studies, and to Carlos Monsiváis’s and Pedro Lemebel’s urban chronicles. My years at UPR were also marked by continuous conver- sations with Ángel (Chuco) Quintero Rivera and Carmen Rita Rabell. Both of them contributed to my research training. This academic scenario could not ix x • Acknowledgments be completely understood without the figure of Arcadio Díaz Quiñones, who, as an invited professor, taught a seminar that changed my focus toward the examination of intellectual discourses in relation to the catastrophe of war. At Penn, Yolanda Martínez-San Miguel challenged every single one of my ideas, helping me achieve a stronger argument. Thanks to her critical readings, I complicated my analysis by integrating categories related to body politics (race, gender, and sexuality) to my study on the history of ideas and intel- lectual history. At Penn, too, I learned very much from Sara Nadal-Melsió, Román de la Campa, Michael Solomon, and Jorge Salessi. In particular, Jorge taught me how to trace traditions that operate against the grain, or more pre- cisely, how to read a contrapelo what seemed to be a static tradition, to make it talk in a new language. Jorge was also the person who gave me intellectual and emotional support at critical moments during those years. To Ben Sifuentes- Jáuregui, Lawrence La Fountain-Stokes, and Ignacio Sánchez Prado, too, I am eternally thankful for their rigorous readings of my work and for their support throughout my career. My year at Middlebury College has probably been the most challenging and rewarding one in my career. I learned so much that my brain hurt! I appreciate how I grew as a scholar thanks to what my colleagues there practice on a daily basis: let your teaching guide your research. Patricia Saldarriaga, Fernando Rocha, Marcos Rohena-Madrazo, Enrique García, Luis H. Casta- ñeda, Irina Feldman, Roberto Pareja, and Juana Gamero de Coca taught me how to be a better teacher and researcher. To all of them I am grateful for the long conversations about my work. At Penn State, I have been fortunate to count with the support of all my colleagues: William R. Blue, Sherry Roush, Paola (Giuli) Dussias, John Lip- ski, Rena Torres Cacoullos, John Ochoa, Nicolás Fenández Medina, Matthew J. Marr, Maria Truglio, Mary Barnard, Julia Cuervo-Hewitt, Karen Miller, Mat- thew Carlson, Marianna Nadeu Rota, Krista Brune, and Sarah J. Townsend. I must extend especial gratitude to my Latinoamericanist colleagues—John, Julia, Krista, and Sarah—for their critical readings of different parts of this manuscript. At Penn State, too, Hoda El Shakry and Shaoling Ma were gener- ous enough to read an early version of chapter 4 and provided me with feed- back that, thanks to their research on other contexts of war and on emotions, contributed a richer bibliography to my study. To my graduate students, I owe much needed reflection and bibliography; especially to Joshua R. Deckman, who was my research assistant and who has become a key interlocutor for my work in Caribbean and Latinx Studies. Inside and outside of these and other institutional contexts, I have been engaged in an ongoing conversation with many friends. To Laura Torres- Acknowledgments • xi Rodríguez, I owe key questions that have informed my study, but most sig- nificantly, I owe her my sanity at times of saturation. Matthew Goldmark, Ana Sabau, and Daylet Domínguez shifted, in different manners, my way of thinking about specific phenomena analyzed in this book. Sandra Casanova- Vizcaíno, Gerardo Pignatiello, Oscar Montoya, and Selma Feliciano-Arroyo have helped me to navigate the long and complex literary tradition of the Caribbean and Latin America. I am also indebted in many ways to my ongo- ing conversations with Felipe Cala, Carl Fischer, Enea Zaramella, Laura Gan- dolfi, Alejandra Josiowicz, and Elena Valdés. This book is also possible thanks to the support I received at Penn from Lidia León-Blázquez, Larissa Brewer- García, Andrea Cote Botero, Nelson Cárdenas, Anna Cox, Raquel Albarrán, and Luis Moreno-Caballud. I have written this book in a language that has always been foreign to me. Linda Grabner translated from Spanish to English early versions of chapters 1, 3, and 4 (including the quotes from literary and critical texts in Spanish). Robin Myers and Joanna Zuckermann Bernstein copyedited the introduction, chapter 2, and chapter 5. Finally, Marianna Nadeu Rota proofread the whole manuscript after the many changes it went through over the years. Marianna’s incommensurable knowledge of language and attention to detail guaranteed the clarity in discourse throughout the book. Also, Marianna’s comments and ques- tions helped the development of the argument. Finally, as my friend, our long- distance conversations made me at ease with writing in this foreign language. At the Ohio State University Press, Kristen A. Elias Rowley has been the light to guide me gently in every step of this difficult process that is publish- ing the first book. I could not have asked for a more dedicated and passionate editor. I am also thankful to the editors of the Global Latin/o Americas book series, Lourdes Torres and Frederick Luis Aldama, for their confidence in this project. I am excited to be part of this transdisciplinary and transcontinental series. I am grateful to the two anonymous readers for their invaluable feed- back, which has made this book’s argument stronger. Finally, words cannot even begin to express all my debt to my intellectual interlocutor, husband, and accomplice, Marco A. Martínez Sánchez, and my late kitty, Tatú. They nourished me with food and love in every step of the way. Our little family resides within this book’s pages. I am also grateful to my mother, Cándida Rivera Díaz, and the whole matriarchal clan of the Rivera Díaz family in Puerto Rico and the diaspora. Now more than ever, when we survive a catastrophe that threatens to aniquilate our existence in the island, seremos siempre montones. INTRODUCTION Emotional Intellectual Interventions and the Politics of Collective Enunciation in the Neoliberal Space of Catastrophe IN 1956, Nilita Vientós Gastón, a Puerto Rican intellectual who wrote a weekly column in the widely circulated newspaper El Mundo,1 vowed to keep creating malestar [discomfort] in her audience with respect to the island’s colonial sta- tus and urged other Puerto Ricans to cultivate this feeling as well. Her dire call to embrace malestar, a Spanish word that expresses physical and emotional pain (malaise, uneasiness, and unrest), sought to challenge an essay by Univer- sity of Chicago professor Daniel J. Boorstin, published that same year in The Yale Review.2 Boorstin’s “Self-Discovery in Puerto Rico” established that the writing of the Constitution and the creation of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (Estado Libre Asociado or ELA) had ended U.S. colonialism on the island back in 1952; hence, Puerto Rican intellectuals should abandon their public interventions and agitation against the United States. More precisely, Boorstin asserted, Puerto Rican intellectuals should work strictly within academia and focus on advancing theories that truly corresponded to the island’s new politi- cal reality. For Vientós Gastón, however, “ese malestar tiene un ‘objetivo,’ sacu- dir la rutina, mantener el espíritu alerta, no dejar adormecer la conciencia” 1.

  • Ultranationalism: a Proposal for a Quiet Withdrawal
    I developed an early suspicion of any form of nationalism courtesy of a geography teacher and an imaginary cricket game. As the only student of Chinese origin in a high school in Bangalore, I was asked by my teacher in a benign voice who I would support if India and China played a match. Aside from the ridiculousness of the question 01/05 (China does not even play cricket), the dubious intent behind it was rather clear, even to a teenager. Still, I dutifully replied, “Sir, I will support India,” for which I received a gratified smile and a pat on the head. I was offended less by the crude attempt by someone in power to force a kid to prove his patriotism, than by the outright silliness of the game. If all it took to Lawrence Liang establish the euphoric security of nationalism was that simple answer, I figured there must be something drastically wrong with the question. I Ultranationalism: was left, however, with an uneasy feeling (one that has persisted through the years), not A Proposal for a because I had given a false answer but because I had been forced to answer a false question. The Quiet answer made pragmatic sense in a schoolboy way (you don’t want to piss off someone who is going to be marking your papers), and I hadn’t Withdrawal read King Lear yet to know that the only appropriate response to the question should have been silence. If Cordelia refuses to participate in Lear’s competition of affective intimacy, it is not just the truth, but also the distasteful aesthetics of her sister’s excessive declarations of love, that motivates her withdrawal into silence.

  • De Lourdes Morales
    A TRAICIÓN Y AL DESCUBIERTO: REPRESENTACIÓN DEL INTELECTUAL VENEZOLANO, EN MARIONETAS (1952), DE LOURDES MORALES. Treacherous and exposed: the representation of the Venezuelan intellectual, in Marionetas (1952), by Lourdes Morales. Mariana Libertad Suárez Universidad Simón Bolívar Valle de Sartenejas- Venezuela Resumen Partiendo de que entre 1936 y 1947, las intelectuales venezolanas sufrieron enormes desplazamientos en el campo cultural, y que éstos permitieron la creación de diversos lugares enunciativos, resulta fácil comprender que el ascenso abrupto del perezjimenismo –en 1948- intentara reencausar el recorrido que llevaban a cabo ciertas escritoras, políticas y periodistas venezolanas dentro del imaginario social de su época. Ahora bien, este gesto represivo también desató el despliegue de una serie de estrategias que no sólo legitimaron la supervivencia de las intelectuales en el imaginario nacional sino que, además, ayudaron a construir alternativas de participación femenina. Un ejemplo de ello lo constituye el libro Marionetas (1952), de Lourdes Morales, texto donde la autora desarticula los mitos sobre los que se sustentaba el desarrollismo y evalúa, desde la periferia, las competencias de hombres y mujeres letradas en la Venezuela de mediados de siglo XX. Palabras claves: Literatura venezolana, mujer intelectual, campo cultural, perezjimenismo, Lourdes Morales Abstract Between 1936 and 1947, the Venezuelan intellectual women significantly changed their position within the cultural field. So La Aljaba segunda época, Volumen XVI, 2012 53 A TRAICIÓN Y AL DESCUBIERTO ... when Marcos Pérez Jiménez came to power, in 1948 - tried to stop the journey that Venezuelan women journalists, political and writers had done before. The government’s repressive gesture toward intellectual women prompted them to devise strategies to survive in the national imagination and, in turn, construct alternative spaces for their participation.

  • Chanting in Amazonian Vegetalismo

François DEMANGE Student Number: 0019893 M.A in Social Sciences by Independent Studies University of East London, 2000-2002. “The plant comes and talks to you, it teaches you to sing” Don Solón T. Master vegetalista 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter one : Research Setting …………………………….…………….………………. 3 Chapter two : Shamanic chanting in the anthropological literature…..……17 Chapter three : Learning to communicate ………………………………………………. 38 Chapter four : Chanting ……………………………………..…………………………………. 58 Chapter five : Awakening ………………………………………………………….………… 77 Bibliography ........................................................................................... 89 Appendix 1 : List of Key Questions Appendix 2 : Diary 3 Chapter one : Research Setting 1. Panorama: This is a study of chanting as performed by a new type of healing shamans born from the mixing of Amazonian and Western practices in Peru. These new healers originate from various extractions, indigenous Amazonians, mestizos of mixed race, and foreigners, principally Europeans and North-Americans. They are known as vegetalistas and their practice is called vegetalismo due to the place they attribute to plants - or vegetal - in the working of human consciousness and healing rituals. The research for this study was conducted in the Tarapoto region, in the Peruvian highland tropical forest. It is based both on first hand information collected during a year of fieldwork and on my personal experience as a patient and as a trainee practitioner in vegetalismo during the last six years. The key idea to be discussed in this study revolves around the vegetalista understanding that the taking of plants generates a process of learning to communicate with spirits and to awaken one’s consciousness to a broader reality - both within the self and towards the outer world.

  • An Early History of Simpson County, Mississippi by Bee King
    An Early History of Simpson County, Mississippi by Bee King Compiled by Frances B. Krechel AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED TO: Mrs. L. H. Holyfield (Beulah Boggan) (Electronic version prepared by NP Computers for Mendenhall Public Library, Lu Ann Bailey Librarian) Due to her life-long (b. 1893) interest, and being a native Mississippian, Miss Beulah has gathered together many historical articles and books, and it is basically from this remarkable and vast collection that the enclosed material has been taken, her love of Mississippi history proved to be contagious. So it is with deep appreciation and a sincere “Thank You” for the special help and encouragement, that another chapter has been added to the extensive recording of the state’s heritage. Miss Beulah has also meticulously and lovingly chronicled the names and dates of her Boggan and related families and it is through this mutual family connection that the compiler became interested in the events concerning the early days. All of the stories have been selected from a series of articles written by the late Bee King, who was a well- known lawyer, historian and writer. The Simpson County News began running the series in their weekly newspaper in 1937 and continued until 1948. Mr. King’s writings are a graphic presentation of the life and times of early Simpson County. He interviewed the elderly citizens through out the area and uniquely recorded for posterity the experiences of the people in day to day living. The picture shows Mr. King in his office when he was Mayor of Mendenhall, the county seat of Simpson County.

(May 2012) Audrey Bryant Powell, B.A., Baylor University; M.A., Baylor University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Alberto Moreiras This dissertation proposes a theoretical examination of the Latin American thriller through the framework of post-dictatorial Chile, with a concluding look at the post civil war Central American context. I define the thriller as a loose narrative structure reminiscent of the basic detective story, but that fuses the conventional investigation formula with more sensational elements such as political violence, institutional corruption and State terrorism. Unlike the classic form, in which crime traditionally occurs in the past, the thriller form engages violence as an event ongoing in the present or always lurking on the narrative horizon. The Chilean post-dictatorial and Central American postwar histories contain these precise thriller elements. Throughout the Chilean military dictatorship (1973-1990), the Central American civil wars (1960s-1990s) and the triumph of global capitalism, political violence emerges in diversified and oftentimes subtle ways, demanding new interpretational paradigms for explaining its manifestation in contemporary society.
