Juan Filloy o la invención del escritor (1920-1930)

En este trabajo se revisa la afirmación según la cual Juan Filloy (Córdoba, 1894-2000) habría sido un escritor escondido y se refutan algunas de las explicaciones que se han dado a esa presunta voluntad del autor. Se propone, en cambio, que las ediciones privadas habrían formado parte de una estrategia implementada por el propio Filloy para lograr un máximo de visibilidad. A los fines de probar esta hipótesis, se analizan algunas prácticas 'especialmente discursivas' del escritor en tanto agente social, que son anteriores a sus primeras publicaciones de la década del treinta

La poética del horizonte. Espacio, escritura y campo literario en las novelas de José María de Pereda

En este artículo se emplea el término "poética del horizonte" para denominar el conjunto de reglas que gobiernan la práctica literaria de un fenómeno moderno -el horizonte- presente en varias disciplinas de las humanidades (v.g. fenomenología, teoría del arte, teoría literaria). Con el doble propósito de establecer (i) una tipología y (ii) algunas de las semejanzas de familia más significativas del horizonte literario, este trabajo explora la función y el sentido de los horizontes en un caso concreto: la producción novelesca de José María de Pereda. El análisis detallado de este corpus permite concluir que el horizonte literario produce una topografía discursiva mediante la delimitación de sus literarias, y refleja el posicionamiento liminal del escritor en el campo literario.

Quiero detenerme en la palabra... A propósito del hueso duro de Gauguin

El artículo aborda una lectura e interpretación del campo literario puertorriqueño actual, a través de la relación establecida entre los autores más jóvenes y sus modelos literarios, especialmente a través del vínculo establecido, a modo de ejemplo, entre Juan Carlos Quiñones y Luis Rafael Sánchez. El concepto de influencia según la propuesta de Harold Bloom se complejiza en términos de lectura y escritura, puesto que los jóvenes se distancian y desmarcan de los mandatos programáticos en torno a la ambivalente identidad nacional puertorriqueña, pero a su vez reconocen gestos filiativos de aproximación respecto de sus mayores.

Re/presenting readings of the indigenous literary terrain

In this study I investigate the spectrum of authoring, publishing and everyday reading of three texts - My Place (Morgan 1987), Jandamarra and the Bunuba Resistance (Pedersen and Woorunmurra 1995) and Carpentaria (Wright 2006). I have addressed this study within the field of production and consumption, utilising amongst others the work of Edward Said (1978, 1983) and Stanley Fish (1980). I locate this work within the holism of Kombu-merri philosopher, Mary Graham's 'Aboriginal Inquiry' (2008), which promotes self-reflexivity and a concern for others as central tenets of such inquiry. I also locate this work within a postcolonial framework and in recognition of the dynamic nature of that phenomenon I use Aileen MoretonRobinson's (2003) adoption of the active verb, "postcolonising"(38). In apprehending selected texts through the people who make them and who make meaning from them - authors, publishers and everyday readers, I interviewed members of each cohort within a framework that recognises the exercise of agency in their respective practices as well as the socio-historical contexts to such textual practices. Although my research design can be applied to other critical arrangements of texts, my interest here lies principally in texts that incorporate the subjects of Indigenous worldview and Indigenous experience; and in texts that are Indigenous authored or Indigenous co-authored.

Reading the landscape: the development of a typology of literary trails to inform experiential design

This article explores the under-researched field of self-guided trails. The focus of the research is on the experiential aspects of self-guided literary trails from the perspective of both the developer and user. An examination of existing literature on self-guided trails and literary tourism was undertaken and supplemented with a review of experiential design principles. Content analysis of a sample of literary heritage trails was then carried out and three distinctive typologies were developed, informed by aspects of experiential design. The research reveals that few literary trails developers utilise these principles and the article concludes with proposals for the design of more effective literary trail experiences.

‘Ghosts in the Head and Ghost Towns in the Field: Ethnography and the Experience of Presence and Absence’

This article is about an anthropologist coming to terms with the field and fieldwork. In 1995, I left – was evacuated from – my fieldsite as a volcanic eruption started just as my period of fieldwork drew to a close. These eruptions dramatically and instantaneously altered life on the island of Montserrat, a British colony in the Caribbean. While Montserrat the land, and Montserratians the people, migrated and moved on with their lives, Montserrat and Montserratians were preserved in my mind and in my anthropological writings as from “back home.” Revisiting Montserrat several years into the volcano crisis, I drove through the villages and roads leading to the former capital of the island, where I had worked from. My route to this modern-day Pompeii threw up a stark contrast between absence and presence, the imagined past and the experienced present. This is understood, in part, by examining the literary work of two other travelers through Montserrat, Henry Coleridge and Pete McCarthy, both of whom have a very different experience of the place and the people.
