En zaga de tantos otros : Paul Groussac y la angustia de las influencias en el Río de la Plata

En este artículo analizo las opiniones de Paul Groussac sobre la cultura americana (tanto norte como latinoamericana), condenada en tanto copia falsa y defectuosa de un único original: el canon europeo en el que el francés autoriza su escritura y se autolegitima como crítico literario en el Río de la Plata. Me concentro en algunos textos clave en relación con el problema de los comienzos de la literatura latinoamericana y con la angustia de influencias que caracteriza al propio Groussac: su lectura de La tempestad de Shakespeare, sus escritos en Del Plata al Niágara y sus notas sobre Los raros y Prosas profanas de Rubén Darío

Barroco y modernidad : De Maravall a Lezama Lima

En las décadas de 1960 y 1970 convergen varias de las líneas que, desde principios del siglo XX, habían centrado las discusiones en torno del Barroco. Tanto en Europa como en América, y desde diversas disciplinas -filología, ensayo literario, retórica, historia, filosofía, psicoanálisis- el Barroco es visto como un punto de partida de la cultura moderna. En 1975 José Antonio Maravall publica La cultura del Barroco, definida como un concepto histórico, en oposición a la teoría de los eones y las constantes desarrollada por Eugenio d'Ors. Para Maravall el Barroco vincula a España con el surgimiento de la modernidad. Años antes, el cubano José Lezama Lima ve en el Barroco el puente que establece la continuidad entre la cultura española y la americana, lanzándola hacia el futuro. Y en el París de la década de 1970, Severo Sarduy introduce el barroco y neobarroco entre los conceptos que circulan en el intenso intercambio intelectual del momento. Proponemos un abordaje de la cuestión en el cruce de esas líneas diversas

Mind majick : a study of the paintings by Harry Smith

Harry Smith was an American artist who worked primarily in the 1940s through the 1980s. Although largely an obscure figure in American culture, Smith is most commonly recognized for his achievements in anthropology and ethnology, experimental cinema, and musicology. This master’s research paper is the first in-depth scholarly study of Harry Smiths’ achievements as a painter. Only a few of Smith’s paintings exist today, which explains why they have received so little attention. However, there is enough work and information available to weave together a chronological study of Smith’s occupation as a painter. In this paper, one will see how Smith’s work and interests in various fields of study influenced his painterly aesthetic, and how he was able to tie together all of his disparate diversions into cohesive and unified visions upon a twodimensional surface.
