Dans ce récit du voyage en Égypte qu'il effectua en 1907, Pierre Loti montre l'Égypte comme le lieu par excellence des débris d'une civilisation éteinte, des ruines et de la poussière - omniprésentes jusqu'à en devenir oppressantes. Il donne toutefois une vision contrastée des ruines et de la mort des civilisations, à la fois poétique et allègre, polémique et lyrique, jouant et déjouant les clichés liés à la tradition du voyage en Égypte. Ce récit est enfin celui d'un voyage 'fin de siècle': Loti donne le sentiment d'effectuer son voyage en tant que représentant des derniers voyageurs du XIXe siècle, face aux touristes modernes. A l'évocation de la fin de la civilisation égyptienne, antique mais aussi contemporaine, semble donc se superposer celle d'une époque où le voyage était encore une aventure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article discusses literary criticism by Fernando Vallejo on the works of Gabriel García Márquez. The author analyzes the animosity between the two authors beginning in the 1980s with the publication of Vallejo's "Logoi. Una gramática del lenguaje literario," the prologue of which questions the use of grammar in García Márquez's "Cien años de soledad." The derogatory allusions made to García Márquez's "El amor en los tiempos del cólera" in Vallejo's "Los caminos a Roma" are also explored.

The article focuses on social, religious, and political conflicts which arose at the end of the colonial era in Mexico (New Spain) between the Gachupine, or native Spaniards, and Creole population. The author discusses the fable "El coyote y la raposa" and how one distinguished a Creole from a Gachupin based on their pronunciations. The daily newspaper which was established in October 1805 and titled "Diario de México," a vector for many of the polemics, is also discussed. The author concludes the article by discussing several letters sent to the newspaper including one signed Pepita Gamunz, which discusses the theme of ridiculousness, and one signed El Bascongado denouncing the existence of an infamous idiom in Mexico practiced by the soez people.
