Description

La obra de Horacio Castellanos Moya es un referente crucial no solo para imaginar el pasado y el presente centroamericano, sino para examinar las implicaciones politicas que derivan de la escritura literaria en espanol en la era neoliberal. El presente volumen reune el trabajo critico de 14 academicos de Latinoamerica, Europa y Estados Unidos que abordan la narrativa moyana en sus principales libros a la par de su itinerario biografico e intelectual: la novela seminal El asco y su celebrada diatriba en contra de El Salvador; las representaciones del militarismo, la guerrilla y la posguerra en novelas como Insensatez, La diaspora y El arma en el hombre; la compleja saga de la familia Aragon, esa genealogia que en mas de un modo inscribe el violento proceso historico de los distintos paises de la region. En cada uno de estos ensayos se analiza la tension irresuelto entre la escritura de ficcion, la experiencia de vida del autor, las relaciones del poder geopolitico y la (im)posibilidad de agencia e intervencion desde el proyecto literario de Castellanos Moya. Buscamos en un principio cuestionar los limites criticos de su obra en un momento en apariencia post-politico, pero al hurgar en los confines de su poetica ante lo politico, procuramos tambien senalar las instancias de libertad radical que desde su intervencion discursiva articula la ficcion. Son estas, entonces, excursiones hacia la doble via de la tirania y la libertad de la ficcion de Horacio Castellanos Moya.

The work of Horacio Castellanos Moya is a crucial reference not only to imagine Central America's past and present, but also to examine the political implications that derive from literary writing in Spanish in the neoliberal era. This volume brings together the critical work of 14 academics from Latin America, Europe and the United States who address Moya's narrative in his main books along with his biographical and intellectual itinerary: the seminal novel El asco and its celebrated diatribe against El Salvador; the representations of militarism, the guerrilla and the postwar period in novels such as Insansatez, La diaspora and El arma en el hombre; the complex saga of the Aragon family, a genealogy that in more than one way inscribes the violent historical process of the different countries of the region. Each of these essays analyses the unresolved tension between fiction writing, the author's life experience, geopolitical power relations and the (im)possibility of agency and intervention in the literary project of Castellanos Moya. At first, we seek to question the critical limits of his work in an apparently post-political moment, but by delving into the confines of his poetics from a political perspective, we also try to point out the instances of radical freedom that articulates fiction from his discourse. These are, then, excursions towards the double path of tyranny and freedom of Horacio Castellanos Moya's fiction.

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.
