Abstract:
This work will analyze the short story Hombre de la esquina rosada by Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges, in order to establish a relationship between the textual image created by Borges and the concept of Self-Figuration proposed by critic José Amícola (who builds upon the work of critic Sylvia Molloy). In order to further this analysis a brief historical review will be made, particularly focused on the appearance of Autobiography as a genre in the Eighteenth Century and its later consolidation in both Europe and Argentina during the Nineteenth Century. This historical relationship will be used to help analyze the concept of SelfFiguration in the specific case of Borges. Subsequently, this analysis will consider Borges' relationship with cutlers' stories, the relationship of these stories with larger literary tradition and, finally, the Argentine author's Self-Figuration in the tale "Man on the Pink Corner." Commentary from theorist Jesus Davila will also be used to analyze significant features of Borges' cutler's stories and identify elements of said stories which could contribute to Borges' Self-Figuration.

Abstract:
This article analyses the perception, influence, interpretation and translation of Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky’s life and work in the Republic of Argentina. First, it describes how the Argentines have interpreted the author of The Brothers Karamazov from biographical, philological, historical, psychological, religious, theological and philosophical perspectives, from his first appearance in the early 1880s to the present (2021). References are made to studies published both in the press and in strictly academic circles (articles, books, dissertations). Dostoevsky’s influence is manifested secondarily in the novelistic and poetic work of the great Argentine writers of the twentieth century (Roberto Artl, Ernesto Sabato, Julio Cortázar and Jorge Luis Borges). It follows a brief history of Spanish translations (directly or through other languages) of Fyodor Mikhailovich’s novels and short stories in Argentina, with particular emphasis on the most widely read and studied of all his works, Crime and Punishment. It also lists the major works of secondary bibliography that first appeared on the Argentine market in Spanish and have had a remarkable influence on Dostoevsky’s studies outside Argentina, such as in Mexico or Spain. Finally, an attempt is made to clarify the reasons why the Argentine people are still today (on the occasion of the bicentenary of his birth, 1821–2021) one of the main readers and interpreters of Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoevsky’s works, through a series of considerations based on psychology, history and demography.

Abstract:
Guillermo Martínez was born in Bahía Blanca, in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1962, four years before General Onganía came into power. In 1982 he was awarded the first prize in the National Short Story Competition ‘Roberto Arlt’ for his book La jungla sin bestias (The Beastless Jungle); six years later he received the first prize from the Fondo Nacional de las Artes for his second collection of short stories, Infierno Grande (Vast Hell). His first novel, Acerca de Rodorer (Concerning Rodorer) was published in 1992. Martínez belongs to the generation of writers who grew up in the midst of the Argentina of the ‘dirty war’ between the military dictatorship and the guerrilla, a war that left the country shattered and from which Argentina has not recovered in spite of the present government's attempts to erase all memory of those past atrocities. The war did violence to everyone and everything, including the Argentine language. The writers of Martínez's generation were forced to reconstruct a tongue destroyed by the abuse of power, by irrational violence, by forced stupidity which infected words like a virus infects the blood. Their task was not only to bear witness and to build imaginary landscapes for their chronicles which are not, it must be said, mere documentaries. First they had to rescue the words themselves from debasement, using a pared-down, clear-cut language, free from the rhetoric, far-fetched metaphor and bombast so dear to the military heart.

This article presents an overview of Buenos Aires, city and neighbourhoods, from the viewpoints of several authors who participated in the literary life of the 1920s and 1930s, portraying the evolution of modernity and the social question –inequalities. Novels, short stories, poems and magazines from the period in question were used to frame these issues and unravel the objectives set. It concludes by exposing the variety and diversity of the city and the neighbourhoods of Buenos Aires, as well as the people who inhabited them and the Buenos Aires literary currents of the period, headed by Jorge Luis Borges, on the one hand (Florida group), and Roberto Arlt (Boedo group), on the other.

Abstract:
The paper aims to analyze the construction of the character JJ in Emma Donoghue’s short story “The Welcome” (2006). The story portrays Luce’s sexual awakening for JJ, the new resident of the women-only cooperative living residence, The Welcome. The shyness of JJ and her supposed indifference to the attempt at a romantic approach and friendship made by Luce is a reaction to the process of transgenderism. If, as the Argentine critic Ricardo Piglia (2000) argues, all short stories narrate two stories, the first is a frustrated love story, and the second is about JJ’s revelation as a transgender person. The critical intervention undertaken in this article challenges and exposes internalized images and racial regimes of representation by demonstrating that the signs and elements which prepare the reader for JJ’s revelation represent her as an abject character. ​​From being fundamental to the theory of subjectivity (Kristeva 1988, McAfee 2004) to a signifying practice of the body and sexuality (Butler 1999), abjection is a common signifier of blackness (Scott 2010). By intersecting race, gender, and sexual identities, the short story fails to represent JJ as a complete subject because it articulates stereotypical images around blackness and transgenderism, casting, at once, both terms as abjection. Thus, the centralization of Luce’s desire and the representation of JJ as an abject character suggest the impossibility of intimacy for the black queer body within the homonormative parameters of gender, sexuality, and race.

Abstract:
The aim of this article is to present the novel Los topos and the book of short stories 76 by Félix Bruzzone as the texts that initiate a new public narrative space where the generation of the children of the disappeared articulate their own perspective on trauma in Argentina. I propose a double reading of this new space from these two texts: first, I make an analysis of the reconfiguration of the Argentine literary field after 2001 and how the case of Bruzzone, with an organically fluid transit between independent and commercial publishers and local and international circuits, opens the way for other later authors with a similar aesthetic and ideological position; later, I analyze in detail how Bruzzone proposes to desacralize the space of the narrable through parody and even the dialogue with genres such as crime fiction and fantasy, and the use of autofiction as a mechanism to subvert the limits of reality and fiction and deny the possibility of constructing absolute representations. In addition, I argue that the objective of these two works is to create a continuous line between repression and the disappearances of the dictatorship and the violence in the present.

Abstract:
In this article the author—a full-time high school mathematics teacher and concurrent doctoral candidate in Department of Middle-Secondary Education and Instructional Technology at Georgia State University—will make a case for the use of an autoethnographic methodological tool he is calling narrative mining. He will begin by briefly summarizing his experiences attempting to write and publish autoethnography; a short story by Argentine mystery writer Jorge Luis Borges will serve as a frame to provide three examples of barriers the author believes lie between a writer and any attempt at self-knowledge. A partial solution to these barriers is proposed in the form of an examination of the personal stories a writer has told over time. An example is then shown, and a call made for a deeper look into the possible spaces opened up in a continued examination of the personal story.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis argues that a literary change occurred after the fall of the dictatorships of the Southern Cone, characterized by the emergence of markets that provoked a "mini-boom" in sales and, at the same time, a change of aesthetics which abandoned the allegorical models of the post-boom in favor of a realistic literature in dialogue with popular culture. This is the sign of postmodernity and globalization in Latin America, reflected in its literature, particularly in the short story writing of the Southern Cone, which has utilized the parody and pastiche of the postmodern era without the trivialization that occurred in other parts of the world. With the goal of establishing a periodization that is different from that which has always prevailed in Latin American literature, the thesis proposes the term "post-vanguardist realism" to designate the literature of the 1990s and the twenty-first century in the Southern Cone. As is the case in all periods of rupture and new beginnings, polemics and disputes appeared between literary bands. The disputes protagonized by Alberto Fuguet and Jaime Collyer in Chile, experimentalists and "planetarians" in Argentina, and Escanlar and the generation of '45 in Uruguay, reflect this new commercial and aesthetic reality. Despite the emergence of a literature more in tune with popular culture and pastiche, the continental anthologies that unite these authors demonstrate how their projects began to fade away, and showcase the appearance of new voices, who take the lead after 2000 and break with this type of literature, in favor of a less schematic narrative with more intertextual dialogue, without, however, returning to magical realism. Despite local differences in short story writing and the literary traditions of each country, these new voices are united by a common aesthetic, the use of literary genres and themes from the shared history of the Southern Cone, and by the traumatic experiences of dictatorship and globalization.

Resumo: Haroldo Pedro Conti (1925-1976?) nasceu na cidade de Chacabuco, na província de Buenos Aires. Colaborador da revista Crisis, professor de latim, roteirista e premiado em 1975 pela revista Casa de las Américas, Conti teve sua produção literária interrompida quando foi sequestrado no começo da ditadura militar argentina. Ainda hoje figura na lista de desaparecidos políticos. Devido a este histórico, é comum a fortuna crítica realizar uma leitura da obra de Conti enfatizando mais o viés político e menos o estético. A este desequilíbrio soma-se outro: Conti ainda é um escritor pouco estudado. À guisa de exemplo, o volume de contos completos de Haroldo Conti foi lançado pela primeira vez apenas em 1994, ou seja, depois de quase vinte anos do término da ditadura militar argentina. No Brasil, Conti é ainda mais desconhecido: somente um romance - Mascaró, El cazador americano - foi traduzido ao português. Na tentativa de expandir as leituras da obra de Haroldo Conti, o objetivo desta dissertação é analisar comparativamente os contos do escritor argentino com contos brasileiros. Para tanto, privilegiou-se, além da cronologia - contos brasileiros pertencentes ao mesmo período em que Conti escreveu sua obra contística, entre os anos de 1960 e 1970 -, o aspecto geral da trama, comum a todas as narrativas analisadas: o amor dos protagonistas ou narradores por outrem - um pai, um tio ou um irmão - e o desejo de, na recordação, criar um vínculo com este outro e realizar a constituição de si enquanto sujeito. As narrativas brasileiras que compuseram a análise - "A terceira margem do rio" (Guimarães Rosa), "As voltas do filho pródigo" (Autran Dourado) e "Frio" (João Antônio) - permitiram uma maior compreensão daquilo que move as personagens contianas e como estas constroem o "esforço por existir". Para realizar esta "descoberta de si", elas precisam aprender a enxergar, a partir do outro, a presença de um mundo antes não sensível aos olhos. Através das "pequenas percepções" que se instalam gradualmente nestas personagens, elas tentam recuperar não apenas o espaço-tempo que ficou para trás, senão o encontro com o outro: um encontro que não se deu em vida e que tem, através da memória, a última chance de ocorrência.
Abstract: Haroldo Pedro Conti (1925-1976?) was born in the city of Chacabuco, which belongs to the state of Buenos Aires. Conti was a collaborator of the Crisis' magazine, a Latin teacher, a scriptwriter and a Casa de las Américas' magazine award-winning in 1975. In the beginning of the Argentinian military dictatorship, the literary production of Conti was interrupted because he was kidnapped, belonging to the list of political missing persons. Due to this historical fact, some studies on Haroldo Conti's work have emphasized more the political aspects than the aesthetic ones. Besides this fact, Conti is still a writer, whose work is insufficiently studied. For example, the complete short stories of Haroldo Conti were published for the first time just in 1994, almost twenty years after the end of the Argentinian military dictatorship. In Brazil, Conti is still very unknown: only a romance named Mascaró, el cazador Americano is translated to Portuguese. Considering the attempt to expand the readings of Haroldo Conti's work, this dissertation aims to analyze the Argentinian writer's short stories compared to the Brazilian ones. To do so, besides the chronology (the Brazilian short stories belong to the same period as Conti's work, in 1960's and 1970's) it is important to analyze the general aspect of the plot, common to all narratives: the protagonists' or narrators' love for somebody - a father, an uncle or a brother - and their desire to create a bond with this other result to the constitution of itself. The Brazilian narratives, "A terceira margem do rio" (Guimarães Rosa), "As voltas do filho pródigo" (Autran Dourado) and "Frio" (João Antônio), allowed to understand how the Conti's characters build the "effort of existing". In order to accomplish this "discovery of itself", the characters need to learn how to see (considering the vision of the other) a world whose presence was not sensitive to their eyes. Because of the "small perceptions" gradually settled in these characters, they try to not just pick up the space-time that was left behind, except the meeting with the other: a meeting that did not happen, but it has the last chance to occur through the memory

Abstract:
(in English): The aim of this work is to analyse selected short stories of the Argentinian writer Silvina Ocampo, which combines the element of violence, cruelty and crime. The work is focused on the original elements of fantastic, which are often referred to as "fantastic everyday life" and puts it in connection with the motive of violence and the presence of crime. In the introduction, it summarizes the author's work and outlines the concept of modern fantasy and its difference from the traditional form. It briefly introduces the concepts of violence and cruelty from the perspective of literature, philosophy and psychology. The short stories selected for analysis are based on the short story sets Viaje olvidado, Autobiografía de Irene, La furia and Las invitadas. A detailed analysis of short stories aims to examine the motive for violence in relation to fantasy and childhood elements. It examines child characters, perpetrators and victims of violence, which takes place in a fantastic setting. In the end, it compares the tools of fantasy construction such as metamorphosis, duality or elements of irony.

Abstract:
Abstract Despite the successful collection of thirteen life stories of working-class women of Greek background in their late sixties, who had migrated to Sweden in the 1970s, the two researchers who engaged in the study—Despina, herself a child of migrant Greek parents, and Diana, a political refugee from Argentina—were unable to publish the results. The aim of this chapter is to listen to women’s narratives by bringing into conversation the concept of social suffering through the use of a psychosocial approach. The aim is also to explore our inability (as migrants and daughters of migrants ourselves) to acknowledge what over-exploitation, gender and racial regimes can, and indeed do, to people regarding their sense of self and well-being. The chapter contains four sections. First, the text provides a short introduction to Swedish racial formation, followed by relevant efforts to conceptualise human pain, inspired by the work of Black British feminist scholars Gail Lewis and Yasmin Gunaratnam. Their theoretical intervention suggests the value of a synthesis of politicised psychoanalytic approaches to the dynamics of ‘race’ and emotional labor; providing a frame for a reflection of our own emotions, with special focus on shame and guilt. The central focus of the chapter is in the section ‘What (We Think) Hurts the Most’, which explores the stories collected organised through three topics—(failed) motherhood, broken bodies and (racist) respectability.

Full text
Abstract:
The author of short stories, novels, essays, and journalism, Leopoldo Lugones is best known as Argentina’s most famous modernista writer, with several volumes of influential and highly varied poetry that ultimately led to an exhaustion of modernista verse. His other major contributions to Argentine literature include to the genre of fantastic fiction and his essays on Argentine identity and literary history. In the latter, he located the marginalized figure of the gaucho as a romantic origin for a national culture. Lugones’ legacy has been marked by the increasingly nationalist-fascist bent of his poetry and essays, beginning in the 1920s. However, the legacy of his earlier, audacious poetic experiments on the future poetic movements of the avant-gardes persist.

Abstract The New World Arhytodini currently consist of three genera: Caccoplectus Sharp with 36 species ranges from Arizona, USA, to Brazil; Rhytus Westwood ( = Arhytodes Reitter) with 11 species found from Argentina to Venezuela; and Caccoplectinus Chandler & Wolda with a single species from French Guiana. Caccoplectus was only recently recognized to be present in Panama (Chandler 1976; Chandler and Wolda 1986), with 24 species now recorded and 19 of these occurring on Barro Colorado Island. Since Caccoplectus was recently reviewed by Chandler and Wolda (1986), discussion of Panamanian Arhytodini will be confined to the following two genera: Rhytus is here recorded from Panama by the collection of three new species; Woldenka, new genus, with a single new species from Barro Colorado Island, is described. A· specimen of each species, except Rhytus bocatorenus new species, was cleared, disarticulated, and mounted on a slide for comparison of foveae and other structures. The single specimen of bocatorenus has the male genitalia cleared and stored in glycerine in a capsule pinned beneath the specimen. Holotypes are deposited in the Field Museum of Natural History. All measurements are given in millimetres.

Cruces, Guillermo. Conditional Cash Transfers, Debit Cards and Financial Inclusion: Experimental Evidence from Argentina. Inter-American Development Bank, August 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0005079.

Full text
Abstract:
Cash transfer and other social protection programs in developing countries have often been accompanied by measures to foster financial inclusion, such as the adoption and use of bank accounts and electronic means of payments. Argentina's social benefits are paid in bank accounts and accessed through debit cards. With the simultaneous objective of fostering formality among beneficiaries and stores, the use of debit cards for purchases has been incentivized by means of additional subsidies. We studied the low take-up of these extra benefits by means of a field experiment involving 400,000 beneficiaries of Argentinas largest conditional cash-transfer program (with 2.2 million beneficiaries who are the parents of four million children, 40% of the countrys 0-17-year olds). By using their debit card to spend the allowance, rather than withdrawing cash from ATMs, they can receive a rebate of 15% of their expenditures. However, they systematically fail to claim this benefit: only about 25% of beneficiaries receive this transfer. Our experiment provided information about the effectiveness of an information campaign conducted via text messages or through on-screen messages at ATM machines. The campaign increased purchases with debit cards and subsequent rebates significantly but not substantially in the short run. However, beneficiaries who increased their use of debit cards do not exhibit a higher probability of having access to credit through the financial system, nor higher levels of formal employment. The results indicate that cultural factors (a preference for cash), administrative hassle and citizen security issues are relevant issues that limit the potential of financial inclusion through increased use of digital means of payment.
