Description

La autora de este libro formula una invitación a problematizar la historiografía literaria ecuatoriana y, de forma implícita, cualquier corpus literario construido a partir de un proyecto nacional. Para ello, se vale de imágenes corporales problemáticas que el canon literario ha dejado pasar por alto. Saturadas de violencias y exclusiones históricas normalizadas, esas imágenes tienen un peso incómodo, convenientemente olvidado. El trabajo propone así una metodología: la de la exhumación de esos cuerpos que apunta a una lectura por intuición. Se trata, entonces, de imaginar para recuperar los restos que han quedado sepultados bajo un conjunto de valores tradicionales, tanto estéticos como políticos que, en lugar de expandir, restringen las posibilidades de leer ciertas obras literarias más allá de los requerimientos constitutivos de lo nacional. En diálogo interdisciplinario con las teorías de la imagen y con los estudios del cuerpo y de la discapacidad, estas páginas plantean una reivindicación del carácter político y ético de todo ejercicio de crítica literaria.

The author of this book extends an invitation to question Ecuadorian literary historiography and, implicitly, any literary corpus built with a national project a its starting point. In order to do this, she uses problematic body images that the literary canon has overlooked. Saturated with violence and normalized historical exclusions, these images have an uncomfortable weight that has been conveniently forgotten. The work thus proposes a methodology: the exhumation of those bodies that points to a reading by intuition. It then becomes about imagining so as to recover the remains that have been buried under a set of traditional values, both aesthetic and political which instead of expanding, restrict the possibilities of reading certain literary works beyond the constitutive requirements of a nation. In an interdisciplinary dialogue with image theories and with studies of the body and disability, these pages raise a claim for the political and ethical nature of any exercise in literary criticism.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.
