Estéticas de la hibridación, del cuerpo transhumano al cuerpo posthumano

Estéticas de la hibridación. Del cuerpo transhumano al cuerpo posthumano, es una investigación que evidencia la crisis de la razón desencadenada por la posmodernidad. Inmersas las nuevas narrativas utópicas y distópicas del cuerpo humano, su complejidad, sus coordenadas en tiempo y espacio y su despliegue multidimensional como soporte artístico. Aporta en la discusión académica sobre el transhumanismo y posthumanismo como procesos de hibridación corporal a través de la intervención de las nuevas tecnologías y el despliegue de otras realidades replicadas en el ciberespacio. Vincula estas teorías trans-/posthumanistas establecidas recientemente con discursos y gestos artísticos generados en la globalidad y el entorno a través de la propuesta de un canon emergente.

Ficcion de racionalidad: La memoria como operador mitico en las esteticas polares de Jorge Luis Borges y Jose Lezama Lima

The aesthetic placement and period designation of Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986) and José Lezama Lima (1910–1976) are complicated issues among critics. Borges is considered a predecessor of the Latin American literary “boom,” but despite that taxonomy his work transcends that definition and provides a foundation for new trends, such as the “neobarroco” cultivated by Severo Sarduy. Lezama is considered part of the second wave of the “boom,” but his work feeds, stylistically, from the Spanish baroque. At the same time, Lezama's daring treatment of homoeroticism and his system of images place him after the “boom” in a narrative style that is postmodern. This study undertakes a revision of external and internal issues, revealing the key fictive elements that characterize both writers. Through discourse analysis, a poetic system is formulated, which incorporates features of the “neobarroco,” and postmodern narrative styles. ^ This dissertation uses a polar structure to analyze both poetic visions and finds that they are symmetrical. From this perspective, Borges and Lezama belong to the “core” of literature that centers its emphasis in the creation of a system versus other modes of writing in which mimetic function prevails. By doing this and by recycling world culture, they create postmodern myth: the new building material for Hispanic American literature. ^ There are a few studies that explore the works of Borges and Lezama within the context of Baroque aesthetics. This dissertation offers a comprehensive analysis that considers their poetic visions at large. Besides the difference in perspective, defined as macro-spatial in Borges and micro-spatial in Lezama, there are many similarities. Both writers question the cause and effect relationship and the use of metaphor. They share a redefinition of genre as well as a hedonistic approach to literature. This kinship in poetic vision is revealed through the polar method used for this study, which proposes a new form of aesthetic placement and period designation. ^
