Autobiographical Writing in Spanish America
Häftad, Engelska, 2005

Skickas inom 7-10 vardagar
This study of Spanish American autobiography from its beginnings in the post-colonial nineteenth century to the present day concentrates mainly on cultural and historical issues. Spanish American autobiographies are fascinating hybrids, often wielding several discourses at once. They aspire to documentary status while unabashedly exalting the self, and dwell on personal experience while purporting to be exercises in historiography, the founding texts of a national archive. Professor Molloy examines a wide range of texts, from Sarmiento's Recuerdos de provincia to Victoria Ocampo's Autobiografia. She analyses their textual strategies, the generic affiliations they claim, their relationship to the European canon and their dialogue with precursor texts, as well as their problematic use of memory and the ideological implications of their repressive tactics. This method enables her to identify perceptions of self and tensions between self and other, thus shedding light on the fluctuating place of the subject within a community.

Available for the first time in English, Signs of Borges is widely regarded as the best single book on the work of Jorge Luis Borges. With a critical sensibility informed by Barthes, Lacan, Foucault, Blanchot, and the entire body of Borges scholarship, Sylvia Molloy explores the problem of meaning in Borges's work by remaining true to the uncanniness that is its foundation. Borges's sustained practice of the uncanny gives rise in his texts to endless tensions between illusion and meaning, and to the competing desires for fragmentation, dispersal, and stability. Molloy traces the movement of Borges's own writing by repeatedly spanning the boundaries of genre and cutting across the conventional separations of narrative, lyric and essay, fact and fiction. Rather than seeking to resolve the tensions and conflicts, she preserves and develops them, thereby maintaining the potential of these texts to disturb. At the site of these tensions, Molloy locates the play between meaning and meaninglessness that occurs in Borges's texts. From this vantage point his strategies of deception, recourse to simulacra, inquisitorial urge to unsettle binarism, and distrust of the permanent--all that makes Borges Borges--are examined with unmatched skill and acuity. Elegantly written and translated, Signs of Borges presents a remarkable and dynamic view of one of the most international and compelling writers of this century. It will be of great interest to all students of twentieth-century literature, particularly to students of Latin American literature.

A man masquerading as a lesbian in Spain’s Golden Age fiction. A hermaphrodite’s encounters with the Spanish Inquisition. Debates about virility in the national literature of postrevolutionary Mexico. The work of contemporary artists Reinaldo Arenas, Severo Sarduy, and MarÍa Luisa Bemberg. The public persona of Pedro Zamora, former star of MTV’s The Real World. Despite an enduring queer presence in Hispanic literatures and cultures, most scholars have avoided the specter of sexual dissidence in the Spanish-speaking world. In Hispanisms and Homosexualities, editors Sylvia Molloy and Robert Irwin bring together a group of essays that advance Hispanic studies and gay and lesbian studies by calling into question what is meant by the words Hispanic and homosexual. The fourteen contributors to this volume not only offer queer readings of Spanish and Latin American texts and performances, they also undermine a univocal sense of homosexual identities and practices. Taking on formations of national identity and sexuality; the politics of visibility and outing; the intersections of race, sexuality, and imperial discourse; the status of transvestism and posing; and a postmodern aesthetic of camp and kitsch, these essays from both established and emerging scholars provide a more complex and nuanced view of related issues involving nationality, ethnicity, and sexuality in the Hispanic world.Hispanisms and Homosexualities offers the most sophisticated critical and theoretical work to date in Hispanic and queer studies. It will be an essential text for all those engaged with the complexities of ethnic, cultural, and sexual subjectivities.Contributors. Daniel Balderston, Emilie Bergmann, Israel Burshatin, Brad Epps, Mary S. Gossy, Robert Irwin, Agnes I. Lugo-Ortiz, Sylvia Molloy, Oscar Montero, JosÉ Esteban MuÑoz, JosÉ Quiroga, RubÉn RÍos Avila, B.

A captivating exploration of identity, language, and memory, weaving together whimsical and profound vignettes that challenge our understanding of home and self in a multicultural world.In Crossings, Sylvia Molloy embarks on an evocative exploration of the intricate and profound experience of living between languages, cultures, and geographies. A pioneering Argentine writer, fluent in Spanish, English, and French, Molloy inhabited all three languages, shuttling back, forth, and between, aware that each place and each language bring forth a different self.The short entries that make up “Varied Imagination” and “Living Between Languages”—the two collections gathered in this volume for the first time—revolve around an interrelated set of questions. What makes “home”? Does language make or destabilize a sense of home? How does speaking a language or switching between languages perform one’s place in the world? These vignettes capture the realization that the most seemingly natural things in life—such as home, language, and identity—depend entirely on performance. Each act, each word communicates something, means something, does something to their specific audience; another audience might react quite differently. Molloy wrote, rewrote, edited, and reworked to find the right mix to express the estar entre or “between” that was her life.In this compelling volume, Molloy’s reflections on the fluidity of identity and the transient nature of home resonate deeply, prompting readers to contemplate the profound connections between language, place, memory, and lived experience.

How do you keep a friendship intact, when Alzheimer's has stolen the common ground of language, memory, and experience, that unites you?In brief, sharply drawn moments, Sylvia Molloy’s Dislocations records the gradual loss of a beloved friend, M.L., a disappearance in ways expected (forgotten names, forgotten moments) and painfully surprising (the reversion to a formal, proper Spanish from their previous shared vernacular). There are occasions of wonder, too—M.L. can no longer find the words to say she is dizzy, but can translate that message from Spanish to English, when it's passed along by a friend. This loss holds Molloy’s sense of herself too—the person she is in relation to M.L. fades as her friend’s memory does. But the writer remains: 'I’m not writing to patch up holes and make people (or myself) think that there’s nothing to see here, but rather to bear witness to unintelligibilities and breaches and silences. That is my continuity, that of the scribe.'

¿Cómo mantener una amistad intacta cuando el Alzheimer se va llevando consigo las bases del lenguaje, la memoria y las experiencias compartidas?La narradora visita casi diariamente a ML., con quien compartió una estrecha amistad y ahora padece mal de Alzheimer. A partir de esos encuentros y los fragmentos de memoria de ML. va construyendo un relato poderosamente conmovedor sobre la desarticulación de una mente que progresivamente va borrando todo de una manera peculiar.Un intento, a través de la escritura, de “hacer durar una relación que continúa pese a la ruina, que subsiste aunque apenas queden palabras”. “¿Cómo dice yo el que no recuerda…?”, se pregunta la narradora frente a esa mujer que le muestra la casa como si la visitara por primera vez o que es incapaz de decir que ha sufrido un mareo, pero puede traducir al inglés perfectamente un mensaje donde se dice que ella ha sufrido un mareo.Pasajes de un pasado y un presente compartidos que se transforman en ficción frente a un olvido que no puede contradecirlos. Un libro que opone al derrumbe una prosa precisa y vital y la sensibilidad única de una de las mejores escritoras latinoamericanas.In brief, sharply drawn moments, Sylvia Molloy’s Dislocations records the gradual loss of a beloved friend, M.L., a disappearance in ways expected (forgotten names, forgotten moments) and painfully surprising (the reversion to a formal, proper Spanish from their previous shared vernacular).

Escribir una ciudad es un desafío de traducción o, incluso, de invención que Sylvia Molloy y Enrique Vila-Matas resuelven con crónicas autobiográficas en que la memoria se vuelve un mapa de tradiciones situadas, historias antiguas y contemporáneas, imaginarios impropios.El "París de Molloy" narra dos ciudades: la de una estudiante argentina que se traslada a estudiar a la Sorbona, y se esfuerza por ser francesa, en los tiempos de la segunda posguerra y la batalla argelina; y la ciudad al borde de la revolución que visitará una década después, en pleno Mayo francés, y revisitará en sucesivas ocasiones con los recuerdos de Victoria Ocampo, el Parque de Bagatelle, los paseos de "juiciosa flânerie"."Aire de París" es la capital recorrida por Enrique Vila-Matas como huella de otras ocupaciones: las calles donde cohabitan el bar preferido de Sinclair Lewis, Ezra Pound, John Dos Passos, el taller fotográfico de Man Ray, el hotel donde Tristan Tzara pensó el Dada, y aquel en que vivió Paul Gauguin y André Breton. Pero también la plaza en la que Georges Perec cuenta "todo lo que pasaba cuando no pasaba nada", el lugar en que Apollinaire inventa una palabra para decir "surrealismo" y donde los planos urbanos podrían ser caligramas.

La masculinidad se fundó en la idea de que el cuerpo del hombre se correspondía con el lugar del original, era principio de la materia, constituía su primera piel. No obstante, esta no siempre fue percibida como statu quo del cuerpo. Dicha ilusión de naturaleza, la idea de que el hombre ocupa el lugar de cuerpo neutro o, incluso, la percepción de que su cuerpo es un componente implícito o del todo ausente en la idea de la masculinidad, forma parte de un grupo de operaciones performativas que ha necesitado tiempo para perpetrarse. Drag Kings: arqueología crítica de masculinidades espectaculares en Latinx América se propone discutir el porvenir del género en el espacio desigual, plural y contradictorio que hemos llamado Latinx América. Partiendo del drag king show y de lo que proponemos como masculinidad espectacular —aquella masculinidad hiperbólica que usurpa el espacio de privilegio y centralidad que se le otorga a la masculinidad del hombre—, planteamos una sistemática arqueología de la puesta en escena de las muchas masculinidades y su capacidad de generar crisis en el heterosexismo, máquina de producción de sentidos a la que se le ha encomendado la programación binaria del género.

"Me llevó mucho tiempo, y el paso por dos países que no eran el mío, para darme cuenta de que para ser uno mismo es siempre mejor estar con otro, sobre todo si el otro pertenece a una especie distinta, es decir, si es totalmente no uno".El deseo frustrado de tener una mascota suele ser una situación recurrente en los recuerdos de infancia. El caso de la narradora de estos relatos no es la excepción. En alianza con su hermana, no perdían oportunidad para reclamar la compañía de cualquier ser que fuera de otra especie, pero la respuesta materna era siempre negativa. La imposibilidad suele ser un disparador del ingenio y así esta niña compartió su niñez con animales literarios, insectos y hasta crio gusanos de seda. El tiempo de la revancha no tardó en llegar. Si bien en cuanto se mudó de la casa de sus padres la protagonista prefirió ser ella sola, enseguida pasó a vivir con otros seres, en especial felinos, abriéndose así una etapa de convivencia animal inagotable. Durante una época los nombró con nombres de cantantes; luego, con nombres o sobrenombres de mujeres de presidentes muertos.Sylvia Molloy se detiene en las zonas más entrañables del vínculo que mantenemos con los animales, tantas veces imperceptible bajo la niebla de la rutina, y escribe un catálogo luminoso de breves relatos inolvidables, siempre en buena compañía.

"La novela de Sylvia Molloy, sabiamente narrada en presente y en tercera persona, produce un efecto de intimidad que es único y es inolvidable. La historia se construye desde tan cerca que nos da la sensación de estar espiando una escena prohibida, y el efecto de verdad -la certeza de que la historia es cierta y ha sucedido tal cual se cuenta- es tan nítido que leemos En breve cárcel como si fuera una autobiografía. La novela se instala en el presente porque el presente es el tiempo de la pasión, y trata de no salir del cuarto donde se espera -o se desea- que vuelva a suceder lo que ya ha sucedido. Conozco pocas novelas que hayan narrado con tanta intensidad y belleza la historia de una pasión" (Del prólogo de Ricardo Piglia).
