Abstract

Winner, 2024 RUSA Outstanding Reference AwardOffers a comprehensive overview of the most important authors, movements, genres, and historical turning points in Latino literature.More than 60 million Latinos currently live in the United States. Yet contributions from writers who trace their heritage to the Caribbean, Central and South America, and Mexico have and continue to be overlooked by critics and general audiences alike. Latino Literature: An Encyclopedia for Students gathers the best from these authors and presents them to readers in an informed and accessible way. Intended to be a useful resource for students, this volume introduces the key figures and genres central to Latino literature. Entries are written by prominent and emerging scholars and are comprehensive in their coverage of the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. Different critical approaches inform and interpret the myriad complexities of Latino literary production over the last several hundred years. Finally, detailed historical and cultural accounts of Latino diasporas also enrich readers'understandings of the writings that have and continue to be influenced by changes in cultural geography, providing readers with the information they need to appreciate a body of work that will continue to flourish in and alongside Latino communities.

Abstract

This text explores a set of key concepts in Marxist theory as developed and read by Lacan, demonstrating links and connections between Marxist thought and Lacanian practice.The book examines the complexity of these encounters through the structure of a comprehensive vocabulary which covers diverse areas, from capitalism and communism to history, ideology, politics, work, and family. Offering new perspectives on these concepts in psychoanalysis, as well as in the fields of political and critical theory, the book brings together contributions from a range of international experts to demonstrate the dynamic relationship between Marx and Lacan, as well as illuminating'untranslatable points'which may offer productive tension between the two. The entries trace the trajectory of Lacan's appropriation of Marx's concepts and analyses how they were questioned, criticized, and reworked by Lacan, accounting for the wide reach of two thinkers and worlds in constant homology. Each entry also discusses psychoanalytic debates relating to the concept and seeks to refine the clinical scope of Marx's work, demonstrating its impact on the social and individual dimensions of Lacanian clinical practice.With a practical and structured approach, The Marx through Lacan Vocabulary will appeal to psychoanalysts and researchers in a range of fields, including political science, cultural studies, and philosophy.

Abstract

Este ensayo se propone articular una transcrítica de la tradición literaria en términos de los puntos paradójicos de la herencia. A partir de Borges y su noción de los precursores y T.S. Eliot acerca de la tradición y el talento individual, se derivan dos líneas contradictorias de la tradición literaria que se desarrollan en el ensayo: el cruce de temporalidades y el vaciamiento de la identidad del escritor. Desde esos dos vectores, se argumenta que la concepción y uso de la tradición en la obra del escritor mexicano José Emilio Pacheco y del escritor argentino Ricardo Piglia, son el marco necesario para radicalizar y potenciar la noción de la retroactividad y sentido histórico de cómo se construye la tradición literaria y, también, cómo en estas lecturas y esquemas se vacía la identidad del escritor como creador y autoridad, propietario de su discurso. Desde esta concepción de la herencia como una red de agujeros, el artículo traza las premisas de lo que es una “transcrítica” que desestabiliza tanto la concepción de la historia y las historias en sentido de acumulación lineal de acontecimientos continuos (la herencia) como la noción de un sujeto-centro que les da sentido. The purpose of this essay is to articulate a transcritique of the literary tradition in terms of the paradoxes of inheritance. From Borges’ notion of the precursors and T.S. Eliot’s notion of the tradition and the individual talent, I derive two contradictory ways of conceiving the literary tradition: the knots of temporalities and the emptying out of the writer’s identity. From these two ideas I argue that the conception and use of the tradition in the work of the Mexican writer José Emilio Pacheco and the Argentinian writer Ricardo Piglia is the necessary framework to radicalize and develop the notion of “retroactivity” and “historical sense” of how a literary tradition is built. In their work there is also an emptying out of the identity of the writer as an authority figure and as proprietor of his own discourse. From this conception of inheritance as a net full of holes, the essay traces the premises of a “transcritique” that destabilizes both the conception of history and histories in the sense of a linear accumulation of continuous events (inheritance) and the notion of a subject-center that gives them meaning.
