“The Indefensible Story” by Edgardo Cozarinsky
type: item
description: “El relato indefendible” was originally published in 1973 and included in Museo del chisme (2005) and Nuevo museo del chisme (2013). Edgardo Cozarinsky, Argentine writer, critic, and filmmaker, was born in 1939 into a Jewish Ukrainian immigrant family. His career was marked by wide-ranging and impactful contributions to several fields. He studied literature at the University of Buenos Aires and later collaborated with Silvina Ocampo, Adolfo Bioy Casares, and Jorge Luis Borges. He founded a film criticism review, Flashback, and proceeded to direct a series of critically acclaimed feature films from Les Apprentis Sorciers (1977) to Ronda nocturna (2005), including … (1971) also known as Puntos suspensivos, his “most notorious work,” which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. During his time living in Paris and Buenos Aires, he wrote extensive collections of film criticism, short fiction, creative non-fiction, literary criticism, and novels. His Vudú urbano (1985), a hybrid literary-essayistic work, was prologued by Guillermo Cabrera Infante and Susan Sontag. In the 1970s, Cozarinsky received the best essay prize from the newspaper La Nación for his erudite and sprightly poststructuralist essay “El relato indefendible,” translated here. This essay—later included in Cozarinsky’s gossip anthologies Museo del chisme (2005) and Nuevo museo del chisme (2013)— theorizes the cultural practice of gossip, previously considered reprehensible and vulgar, unfolding and appreciating its participation in all literary practice, especially in the works of Marcel Proust, Henry James, and Jorge Luis Borges. As Cozarinsky says, “In its circulation, in its modification, gossip reproduces the general movement of history and human knowledge, as well as the movement of that narrative practice that is a feature of that knowledge and a metaphor for that history.” Surviving a cancer diagnosis in the 1990s, Cozarinsky continued to write prolifically and to affectionately guide a generation of …

An Aesthetics of Resistance: Voluspa Jarpa’s Necroarchivos
type: item
description: Voluspa Jarpa’s installation Judd Shaft (2016–present) exposes declassified documents from the CIA to create what I term “necroarchivos.” Defined as contemporary artworks that highlight information previously lost, hidden, or manipulated, the necroarchivos resist “necropolitics,” or what Achille Mbembe defines as a politics of life and death; to present fragmented narratives, question official rhetoric, and (re)create histories, while advocating for collective memories. Under this conceptual framework, the artwork not only reveals violence but condemns aggressions against bodies and challenges their expendability. Against the current proliferation of authoritarianism and dictatorial regimes, art plays a critical role in alerting viewers of the tragic consequences of repressive governments. The artwork becomes a departure point to challenging the political and social sphere, create consciousness, and incite civic engagement. By conducting direct object study, interviewing the artist, and incorporating an interdisciplinary methodology, I map Jarpa’s aesthetics of resistance and her dialogue with archival art and a constellation of artworks to present the (in)accessibility of information and contest myriad disciplinary fields including history, politics, and art itself. I argue Jarpa’s necroarchivos comment on the (in)visibility of diverse power structures and their secrecy, “la imposibilidad de la lectura,” to register a counter history and contest the violence of the state apparatus.

Keep the Silence from Speaking Poetry by Hubert Matiúwàa and Martín Tonalmeyotl as Ritual Responses to Drug Violence
type: item
description: This article argues that recent poetry collections by two poets from the Mexican state of Guerrero, the Mè’phàà poet Hubert Matiúwàa’s (1986) and the Nahua poet Martín Tonalmeyotl (1983) respond to the violence of the ongoing drug war in México by mobilizing Indigenous ritual textualities. In doing so, both Matiúwàa’s Xtámbaa/Piel de Tierra (2016), literally “earthen skin,” and Tonalmeyotl’s Tlalkatsajtsilistle/ Ritual de los olvidados (2016) leverage Indigenous epistemological practices as a way to alter reality. This analysis not only aligns their respective projects with longstanding Indigenous language practices in Mesoamerica and elsewhere, but also situates them within broader contemporary Indigenous movements, in which Indigenous authors use their ostensibly literary texts to intervene directly in the world of the reader.

Un libro escrito entre ruinas: Risking a Sumersault in the Air de Margarett Randall
type: item
description: La poesía es una gran aliada en tiempos de Revolución. Esa podría ser una forma de definir el espíritu de Risking a Sumersault in the Air. Conversation with Nicaraguan Writers de la ya legendaria poeta feminista y activista social Margarett Randall. Se trata de una reedición revisitada (la primera es de 1984 por Burstone Press) que compila una serie de entrevistas a grandes figuras de la literatura y cultura nicaragüense. Todos estos, partícipes junto al Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional, en el establecimiento de un nuevo gobierno tras la dictadura de Somoza. Entre dichas voces se encuentran sólidas figuras de la literatura latinoamericana, como Ernesto Cardenal, Gioconda Belli, Sergio Ramírez, Daysi Zamora, Tomás Borge, entre otros.

Vincular palabra y la realidad: un trabajo por hacer
type: item
description: Esta es una reseña de la novela ecuatoguineana La Bastarda de Trifonía Melibea Obono publicada por la editorial Flores Raras en el 2016. La reseña incluye comentarios relacionados con el contenido, el estilo y el mérito de la obra como ejemplo de literatura feminista y en defensa de los derechos humanos a la diversidad de género. En esencia argumenta que la novela es una llamada de atención sobre la relación entre las palabras y la realidad subrayando la necesidad de reconocer y nombrar la homosexualidad en la cultura fang para otorgar el respecto y dignidad social (y eventualmente legal) a la diversidad de género. Además la reseña señala algunas perspectivas sobre el debate existente acerca de la indigeneidad de la homosexualidad en el contexto africano postcolonial.

A la escucha de la contrahistoria desde las cloacas: Un asesino solitario de Élmer Mendoza
type: item
description: El asesinato del Luis Donaldo Colosio Murrieta en 1994 ha sido probablemente uno de los mayores secretos bajo resguardo del Estado mexicano. Esto ha motivado la creación de una serie de versiones alternas que buscan oponerse a una de las principales funciones de la secrecía oficial: evitar que el Estado sea concebido como la máscara del verdadero poder organizado (Abrams). En este conflicto de narrativas, la literatura tendría un lugar especial, pues no aspira a convertirse en la Historia, sino a fragmentar ese discurso monolítico en otras historias (Piglia). Del ejercicio literario de Élmer Mendoza en Un asesino solitario (1999) se desprende el uso del rumor como contranarrativa. Esta novela entrega una versión paralela a la oficial desde el plano de lo ficcional, al tiempo que busca obtener una toma del último eslabón de la cadena en el ejercicio del poder político que echa mano de medios criminales para asegurar su prevalencia (Domínguez-Ruvalcaba): un asesino a sueldo movido por la maquinaria del Estado. El presente trabajo acentúa la necesidad de comprender la novela a partir de tres deslindes: en primer lugar, apartarla de la etiqueta de lo “narco” que ha acompañado a su autor, pues su obra presenta un quiebre importante a partir de sus primeras dos novelas (Zavala); en segundo lugar, reconocer el desmarque de su propio género en tanto novela negra (Giardinelli) y, finalmente, su alejamiento del discurso oficial a partir del análisis de la propia narrativa del Estado en el informe de la investigación emitido por la extinta pgr.

Hagiographic Bandit Slippages: Gaucho Gil in Music and Prose
type: item
description: This article examines representations of the Argentine folk saint Gauchito Gil in music and prose as Gil veneration spreads from the Argentine littoral to more urban and para-urban spaces. The movement in space and through genres reflects the play between the hegemonic and the vernacular and the closing of the frontier. First, the article considers Gauchito devotion as a subculture and analyses the production and maintenance of that subculture through chamamés. I argue that Orlando Van Bredam’s novella, El retobado: vida, pasión y muerte del Gauchito Gil, is a textualization of the vernacular devotion practiced by Gil devotees and slips between the novelistic and hagiographic modes. Building from Emilio Willems suggestion that marginal urban neighborhoods constitute an “anonymous frontier,” I then examine the mapping of Gil worship into urban spaces in cumbia villera and stories by Mariana Enríquez. Finally, I address the increasing institutionalization of Gauchito devotion.

Un país sin memoria: la necrodeixis en Temporada de huracanes de Fernanda Melchor
type: item
description: El México contemporáneo se ha caracterizado por mantener un estrecho vínculo relacional con la violencia. Sus estructuras, instituciones y políticas, a pesar de contar con numerosos rostros y partidos, han sido condicionantes claves en la formación del espacio y tiempo, en especial de las comunidades periféricas y precarizadas. A través de la lectura de la novela Temporada de huracanes de Fernanda Melchor, este artículo plantea la lectura de esta obra de ficción contemporánea como una que devela, a través de sus herramientas miméticas, el carácter necrodeíctico de las periferias mexicanas.

As the Bodies Pile Up, or What is Political Literature Today?
type: item
description: Poetics are the ancestral reparation, an ancient redress for all the destruction our technologies of power have created. The politics of literature today must experiment with the position of enunciation, affirming a position-in-the-world while radically avoiding the risk of reducing that creative position to a label, to a superficial gesture, to a stable “identity.” Political Literature today remakes the position of literature in the world (the desk, the ink, the paper), in order to build with the new spoils of catastrophe that keep growing all around us. The great challenge of political literature today is to create the wildest poetics with the rubbles of the dying worlds as a medium.

Reivindicaciones políticas y sociales de los propagandistas filipinos a finales del siglo XIX: la Solidaridad colonial frente a la injusticia y la discriminación metropolitanas
type: item
description: Los ilustrados filipinos que integraron el Movimiento de Propaganda a finales del siglo XIX organizaron una campaña a gran escala para pedir reformas administrativas, económicas, culturales y sociales al gobierno colonial español. En sus escritos, a través de su periódico La Solidaridad o en otras publicaciones, en los discursos pronunciados en banquetes y otros eventos, incluso en su correspondencia privada, cuestionan su relación con la metrópoli: consideraban que los tiempos habían ido cambiando y las necesidades de los filipinos habían evolucionado. Es por eso por lo que reclamaban, entre otras cosas, la igualdad de derechos, la representación parlamentaria, la libertad de prensa o el cese de ciertos abusos que se cometían en los territorios ultramarinos. También hacían un llamado a la solidaridad entre las diferentes colonias, aunque constataban un trato de favor por parte de España hacia Puerto Rico y Cuba.

“Nuestros salvajes filipinos”: Settler Encounters and Black Indigeneities in Mexico and the Philippines
type: item
description: In this essay I develop a relational analysis placing Asian and Latin American racial discourses into conversation. My analysis here seeks to grasp with greater clarity the discrepant ways that Blackness, Indigeneity, and Asian identities are articulated in distinctly and distantly elaborated nation-building projects through mestizaje—a Philippine mestizaje and one originating in Mexico. I move us through an analysis of both Pedro A. Paterno’s ethnological study on Indigenous Philippine Blackness, Los Itas (1915), and José Vasconcelos’s La raza cósmica (1925) as part of a global mestizo archive that is situated in the longue durée of the nineteenth century. The Aetas (or Itas), also commonly known by the Spanish term “Negritos,” are a community of phenotypically Black peoples that inhabit the mountainous regions of the northern Philippines in the island group known as Luzon. They have been a well-known community in the historical and cultural construction of Filipino racial identity. I examine the ways that the Aetas offered evidence of a Blackness that was transformed into a marker indexing the retrogression and development of the “Orient.” The dyad of civilization and barbarism in the Philippines pivoted on the dialectical antinomy of the Orient and Blackness. While the Philippines was not a site of and was far-removed from the transatlantic world, the physical darkness and qualitative Blackness of Indigenous peoples in the Philippines, the Indian subcontinent, and the Antipodes braid together the logics of Orientalism and Blackness in ways that are of interest to a transnational vista of race. This gesture of theoretical braiding of racial logics seemingly more germane to the Atlantic world with racial discourse in the Philippines invites questions on the ways that Blackness and Indigeneity in US-based and Latin American scholarship are treated. In the final analysis, I argue that through the comparison of these different mestizajes that the Asian political subje…

La pluma y la bolsa: El rol de la prensa reformista en la liberación del poeta esclavizado Ambrosio Echemendía.
type: item
description: Ambrosio Echemendía fue un poeta esclavizado que nació en Cuba en 1843 y fue liberado en 1865 gracias a una colecta que organizaron los intelectuales blancos. Este artículo analiza la importancia de la prensa en dicho proceso. Se enfoca en el periódico El Siglo, publicado en la Habana, que reprodujo sueltos de otros diarios como El Fomento y El Telégrafo de Cienfuegos con el objetivo de llamar a los subscritores a manumitir al poeta. El artículo destaca que dicho proceso de liberación se hizo posible por el desarrollo de las comunicaciones en Cuba, que a partir de la década de 1830 comienzan a expandirse y crean lo que Benedict Anderson llamó una “comunidad imaginada” de intelectuales y sujetos coloniales que leen una misma noticia y actúan como un grupo unido con el objetivo de promover una causa de mejora social.

Codex Corpus y la revancha final de la memoria
type: item
description: Decir que Codex Corpus es una cavilación sobre el cuerpo es cierto, pero insuficiente para describir este libro. Añadir que se trata de un poemario en el cual el cuerpo de la escritura es tan importante como la carne que lo sostiene, completa esa idea pero todavía no alcanza para dar cuenta de su complejidad. El último trabajo de la boliviana Paola Senseve, merecedor en el 2019 del Premio Nacional de Poesía Yolanda Bedregal -el mayor galardón de su país para este género-, es también o cómo mínimo una elaboración sobre el duelo y la materialidad del amor ante la ausencia fáctica que produce la muerte.

Dientes de leche perdidos: una reseña del poemario Historia de la leche de Mónica Ojeda
type: item
description: El terror yace en la blancura más pura, porque en ella está contenida la inevitable inminencia de la mancha. Esa blancura yace en el centro de la obra de Mónica Ojeda, poeta y narradora ecuatoriana autora del poemario Historia de la leche. Se trata de una revisión de mitos, una narración poetizada que explora las relaciones entre la destrucción y el amor, la creación y la muerte, el deseo y el horror. “Apagado su diseño abierto / tu cadáver es sólo un testimonio visible / de mi capacidad de crear” (46). Historia de la leche desarrolla una poética de lo sublime y lo abominable, que toma como modelo el mito de Caín y Abel, pero lo transporta a un universo femenino donde el deseo de matar se explora no desde el odio o la envidia sino desde el amor.
