Abstract:

Abstract: El invencible verano de Liliana by Cristina Rivera Garza and Punto de cruz by Jazmina Barrera create a sentimental trajectory from the loneliness of shame and fear to the anger and love of the feminist alliance. The first weaves the femicide of Liliana with other stories of gender violence to interrupt the logic of victimization through an imaginary exercise of co-writing with Liliana and others, through her archive, the testimonies from the ones who loved her, and the Latin American Feminist Activism. Differently, Punto de cruz suggests that a text is as collective as the embroidery

Abstract:

The Old Man Who Read Love Stories is a novel by Luis Sepúlveda that was translated and published for the first time in Indonesia by Marjin Kiri at the end of 2005. The novel, originally titled Un viejo que leía novelas de amor, is a canonical work of Latin American literature that was published in 1989. The plot clearly depicts the postcolonial situation in Latin America. Unfortunately, postcolonial readings of this translated novel are very minimal. In a postcolonial context, the work of translating texts cannot be considered as a job that is arbitrarily chosen, whimsical, or even without p

Particular attention is paid to the personage of Ras Tafari (1892-1975) and to his projections in Mussolini’s speeches, in Ian Fleming’s spy-stories, in Ethiopian culture and in Jamaican folklore: he was deemed to be the descendent of King Solomon’s and Queen Sheba’s love; Rasta movement considered him the new Messiah.

Abstract:

Abstract The Latin narratives of the First Crusade produced in the first decades of the twelfth century contain many stories of emotionally charged, affective instances of human interaction with the divine in the form of visions and miracles. Examination of these episodes reveals that the masculine ideas and ideals reflected in the narratives allow some scope for legitimate fearful responses to the miraculous. Such formulations constitute a pious fear that is indicative of the love of God, as opposed to worldly fear that represents a symptom of the prioritisation of the mundane. Such pious, fe

This paper explores the profound impact of symbolic elements in Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s works on the depiction of Latin American history and culture through the lens of magical realism. Focusing on key symbols in One Hundred Years of Solitude, The Autumn of the Patriarch, and Love in the Time of Cholera, the study delves into how these symbols enhance the narrative and offer deeper insights into historical and cultural contexts. The analysis reveals how Marquez uses symbols such as the banana plantation, the decaying palace, and the river to critique colonialism, political corruption, and soc

Two of the tales mentioned in the title are in many ways typical of the great collections of stories (The Canterbury Tales and Il Decamerone) to which they belong.

The cult of eroticism is combined there with a cult of youth, which means disaster for the protagonists, who try to combine eroticism with advanced age. And yet the stories in question have roots in a very different tradition in which overt eroticism is punished and can only reass

‘Wait a minute.’Martin Amis, Time's ArrowWe start with a stop. In recent years, long pause has been taken for inquest into the narrative dynamics of ancient literature. How stories are told, by whom, in what order—these have become key questions of narratology, a discipline whose tools most critics would now keep somewhere in their kit. Narratological criticism of poetry has ‘naturally’ drifted towards poems of long narrative span (i.e. hexameter epics). Recently, however, the ‘smaller’ genres have been extended the benefits of narratological civilisation, particularly in the realm of temporal

The experience of loss and the possibility to overcome mourning has been a concern for both psychoanalysis and philosophy. Loss is also important in the practice of translation; Walter Benjamin and Jacques Derrida, among other thinkers, have insisted on the complication between texts in translation and the concepts of life, death, survival, and love and friendship. This paper follows these complications to argue that the word duelo in translation, as well as translation itself, enacts and symptomizes the frictions that arise between languages and friendship.

Art Imitating ArtThis article discusses the global, historical and literary references that are present in the video game franchise Bayonetta. In particular, references to Dante’s Divine Comedy, the works of Dr John Dee, and European traditions of witchcraft are examined. Bayonetta is modern in the sense that she is a woman of the world. Her character shows how history and literature may be used, re-used, and evolve into new formats, and how modern games travel abroad through time and space.Drawing creative inspiration from other works is nothing new. Ideas and themes, art and literature are f

Abstract:

Paul Theroux, like most writers, is far uglier in person than he is in photographs. For one thing, there's the matter of his bluntly-cut toupee, which tilts noticeably from side to side as he shifts in his chair. For another, there are Theroux's teeth, which are so badly stained they seem to be carved from the driftwood that dots the nearby Cape Cod shoreline. Never mind his unpleasant habit of hacking up massive gobs of phlegm, which he then expectorates into the Persian carpet at his visitor's feet. So begins the introduction to Dwight Garner's interview with the author in Salon in 1996. Tho

Introduction In December 2010, Nespresso, the world’s leading brand of premium-portioned coffee, opened a flagship “boutique” in Sydney’s Pitt Street Mall. This was Nespresso’s fifth boutique opening of 2010, after Brussels, Miami, Soho, and Munich. The Sydney debut coincided with the mall’s upmarket redevelopment, which explains Nespresso’s arrival in the city: strategic geographic expansion is key to the brand’s growth. Rather than panoramic ubiquity, a retail option favoured by brands like McDonalds, KFC and Starbucks, Nespresso opts for iconic, prestigious locations. This strategy has been

Abstract:

Historical fiction, a widely-read genre, continues to engender contradiction and controversy within the fields of literature and historiography. This paper begins with a discussion of the differences and similarities between historical writing and the historical novel, focusing on the way these forms interpret and represent the past. It then examines the dilemma facing historians as they try to come to terms with the modern era and the growing competition from other modes of presenting history. Finally, it considers claims by Australian historians that so-called “fictive history” has been best

As the ball dropped on 1999, is it any wonder that No Doubt played, “It’s the End of the World as We Know It” by R.E.M. live on MTV? Any discussion of the Nineties—and its pinnacle moment, Y2K—requires a discussion of both the cover and the glitch, two performative and technological enactments that fomented the collapse between author-reader and user-machine that has, twenty years later, become normalised in today’s Post Internet culture. By staging failure and inviting the audience to participate, the glitch and the cover call into question the original and the origin story. This breakdown of

Abstract:

Story spreads out through time the behaviors or bodies – the shapes – a self has been or will be, each replacing the one before. Hence a story has before and after, gain and loss. It goes somewhere…Moreover, shape or body is crucial, not incidental, to story. It carries story; it makes story visible; in a sense it is story. Shape (or visible body) is in space what story is in time. (Bynum, quoted in Garland Thomson, 113-114) Drawing on Goffman’s classic work on stigma, research documenting the existence of discrimination and bias against individuals classified as obese goes back five decades.

Abstract:

‘Historiographic Metafiction’ (HM) is a literary term first coined by creative writing academic Linda Hutcheon in 1988, and which refers to the postmodern practice of a fiction author inserting imagined--or illegitimate--characters into narratives that are intended to be received as authentic and historically accurate, that is, ostensibly legitimate. Such adventurous and bold authorial strategies frequently result in “novels which are both intensely self-reflexive and yet paradoxically also lay claim to historical events and personages” (Hutcheon, A Poetics 5). They can be so entertaining and

Introduction As music listening transitions from physical to digital formats, the model for how people organise and discover new music is being taken over by the features of digital streaming services (Lüders; Rothenbuhler; Wikström). Playlists, akin to the mixtape of the analogue era, have broken up the album model, catering to specific moods, genres, and events (Bonini and Gandini; Prey; Siles et al., "Genres"). On Spotify, algorithmic playlists are readily mixed in with human-curated playlists, blurring the lines between the selections of personal human choice, and the datafied choices driv
