Description

El presente libro se propone explorar los vínculos entre la ironía –y sus formas contiguas como el cinismo, el absurdo, la parodia o el humor negro– y la violencia en la literatura latinoamericana contemporánea. El objetivo consiste en crear un acercamiento novedoso entre dos paradigmas teóricos: el campo de la ironología, por un lado, y los estudios de la violencia y de la memoria, por el otro. Así, last distintas contribuciones se proponen explorar la siguiente pregunta central: ¿cuál es el alcance subversivo de la ironía y cómo debemos apreciar su dimensión ética, afectiva y política en el discurso literario latinoamericano sobre la violencia? El principio de la diversidad es el que rige esta compilación de ensayos. Incluye la variedad de localidades y experiencias de la violencia extrema (desde las dictaduras del Cono Sur pasando por Centroamérica hasta México); las épocas históricas sobre las versan los textos literarios; y las diversas propuestas estéticas que los textos ofrecen. La diversidad, por último, también atañe a las diferentes definiciones manejadas por los autores (desde Hegel, hasta Kierkegaard, De Man, Hutcheon o Rorty) para acercarse a las variadas relaciones entre la ironía y la violencia.

This book aims to explore the links between irony –and its contiguous forms such as cynicism, the absurd, parody or black humor– and violence in contemporary Latin American literature. The objective is to create a novel approach between two theoretical paradigms: the field of ironology, on the one hand, and the studies of violence and memory, on the other. Thus, the different contributions intend to explore the following central question: what is the subversive scope of irony and how should we appreciate its ethical, affective and political dimension in the Latin American literary discourse on violence? The principle of diversity is what governs this compilation of essays. It includes the variety of locations and experiences of extreme violence (from the dictatorships of the Southern Cone through Central America to Mexico); the historical epochs on which the literary texts are concerned; and the various aesthetic proposals that the texts offer. Finally, diversity also concerns the different definitions handled by the authors (from Hegel to Kierkegaard, De Man, Hutcheon or Rorty) to approach the various relationships between irony and violence.

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.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
