Although primitivism has received renewed attention in recent years, studies linking it with Latin America have been rare. This volume examines primitivism and its implications for contemporary debates on Latin American culture, literature, and arts, showing how Latin American subjects employ a Western construct to "return the gaze" of the outside world and redefine themselves in relation to modernity.Examining such subjects as Julio CortÁzar and Frida Kahlo and such topics as folk art and cinema, the volume brings together for the first time the views of scholars who are currently engaging the task of cultural studies from the standpoint of primitivism. These varied contributions include analyses of Latin American art in relation to social issues, popular culture, and official cultural policy; essays in cultural criticism touching on ethnic identity, racial politics, women's issues, and conflictive modernity; and analytical studies of primitivism's impact on narrative theory and practice, film, theater, and poetry.This collection contributes offers a new perspective on a variety of significant debates in Latin American cultural studies and shows that the term primitive does not apply to these cultures as much as to our understanding of them.CONTENTSParadise Subverted: The Invention of the Mexican Character / Roger BartraBetween Sade and the Savage: Octavio Paz’s Aztecs / Amaryll ChanadyUnder the Shadow of God: Roots of Primitivism in Early Colonial Mexico / Delia Annunziata CosentinoOf Alebrijes and Ocumichos: Some Myths about Folk Art and Mexican Identity / Eli BartraPrimitive Borders: Cultural Identity and Ethnic Cleansing in the Dominican Republic / Fernando Valerio-HolguÍnDialectics of Archaism and Modernity: Technique and Primitivism in Angel Rama’s TransculturaciÓn narrativa en AmÉrica Latina / JosÉ Eduardo GonzÁlezNarrative Primitivism: Theory and Practice in Latin America / Erik Camayd-FreixasNarrating the Other: Julio CortÁzar’s "Axolotl" as Ethnographic Allegory / R.

This book highlights the grammatical structure of thought and behavior as a blueprint for scientific discovery and innovation. It defines the new concept of metagrammar as the unnoticed transfer of linguistic functions and skills to and from our interaction with the world. Viewing grammar as language engineering, the author argues that metagrammar charts a new mode of reasoning central to critical thinking, problem solving and goal setting in all areas of human endeavor. He shows how metagrammatical structures and genres mediate in the conceptualization of phenomena, as well as in the production of plans, policies, systems and designs. This uniquely human capability is contrasted with mechanistic models in computers and AI that threaten to replace human agency and decision making. This book will be of interest to the educated reader who wants to keep abreast of transformational research in language and cognition as it applies to self and society, current events, digital media and emerging technologies, from artificial intelligence to autonomous systems, from a human-centered perspective. It will be particularly relevant to organizations such as the Modern Languages Association, for its focus on linguistic and narrative theory, cultural studies and critical theory.

A fresh reading and close analysis of The Kingdom of This World, Men of Maize, and One Hundred Years of Solitude, Realismo mágico y primitivismo brings anthropology, modern art, intellectual history, reception aesthetics and semiotics to bear on the texts in question. Camayd-Freixas develops a theory of magical realism along ethnological lines as a meaningful critical concept in Latin American literary history. The author documents the historical relationship between magical realism and primitivism in Europe and Latin America. He argues that magical realism is a unity of the primitive viewpoint, the transculturation of reality-norms, and the construction of historical allegory; and examines the problems and development of magical realism in the work of leading Latin American writers. (Text in Spanish).
