SUMMARY:Spanish Colloquium: Ximena Briceño\, "A vuelo de pájaro: Vallejo y Arguedas"
DESCRIPTION:A vuelo de pájaro: Vallejo y ArguedasA talk in Spanish by Ximena Briceño\nXimena Briceño enseña literatura latinoamericana en el Departamento de Culturas Ibéricas y Latinoamericanas de Stanford University desde 2008. Es doctora por la Universidad de Cornell y egresada de la Universidad Católica del Perú. Su trabajo de investigación se enfoca en teorías de animalidad en la literatura moderna de América Latina\, especialmente de la zona andina. Ha sido becaria del Instituto Iberoamericano de Berlín y es coordinadora del grupo de investigación materia en Stanford. \nExploro el arco trazado por el ave guanera desde Trilce de César Vallejo hasta El zorro de arriba y el zorro de abajo de José María Arguedas. Quiero discutir la presencia de una poética excrementicia en la vanguardia andina desde una perspectiva post-antropocéntrica. Tomando como punto de partida la idea clásica de la vanguardia latinoamericana como crítica a la modernidad\, esta ponencia extrema esta postura para mostrar que\, más bien\, la línea excrementicia que comunica la escritura de Vallejo y Arguedas marca cómo esa temporalidad colapsa en un tiempo catastrófico que borra la frontera de lo humano y lo no humano. \n

SUMMARY:La Ironía y Anticlericalismo En Halma
DESCRIPTION:UCSC Spanish Studies and the Department of Languages and Applied Linguistics Present: \nLA IRONÍA Y ANTICLERICALISMO EN HALMA \nÁLVARO ROMERO MARCO (UCSC) \nMás allá de las clasificaciones y evoluciones que la crítica ha venido realizando\, la novelística de Galdós es consecuencia de su ideología\, pues la realidad es observada y transformada a través de su apuesta por la modernidad. En el caso de Halma\, los pilares que sustentan la enseñanza que quiere trasmitir el autor son la distancia socarrona y un convencido anticlericalismo; una ironía sin acidez y siempre constructiva y una desconfianza en la institución eclesiástica que nunca significa un ataque a la visión religiosa de la existencia. Tradicionalmente esta novela\, que Ediciones Alfar tiene a bien ofrecer al lector\, ha sido editada y analizada a la sombra de la famosa “segunda manera” y\, particularmente\, como la segunda parte de Nazarín. Esta edición presenta la obra aislándola de esas ataduras para que pueda ser leída de manera independiente. En cualquier caso\, no hay duda de que Halma es otra de las grandes novelas del autor. \n\n\n*Light refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Joseph M. Pierce: "Writing Queer Sisterhood: The Diaries of Julia and Delfina Bunge and the Argentine Fin de Siglo (1890-1910)"
DESCRIPTION:This presentation focuses on a unique coincidence in Argentine fin de siglo (1890-1910): sisters who 1) simultaneously kept a diary for an extended period of time\, 2) actually shared\, read\, and commented on reading each other’s diaries\, and 3) though under quite different circumstances\, published these diaries subsequently. I read the diary as an interface through which textual form influences understandings of self and other in the early years of the 20th century\, arguing that it is\, in this sense\, a technology of self-making. This talk explores not simply what the diarist does\, but what discourses\, what possible modes of feeling and thinking are revealed through the process of writing and reading the diary. In particular the sister serves as critical nucleus for understanding relational subjectivity\, sibling rivalry\, and the queer potentials of lateral kinship. Examining both original manuscript notebooks and later published versions\, I show how writing and reading the diary plays a crucial role in shaping each sister’s ideological positions regarding courtship\, marriage\, and sisterhood\, and from this exploration I argue that the cultural anxiety over the division of public and private space\, and in particular women’s labor\, led each sister to stake a claim of individuality that emerges through the process of imagining herself as different\, but potentially the same as\, her sister.\n  \nJoseph M. Pierce is Assistant Professor in the Department of Hispanic Languages and Literature at Stony Brook University. His research focuses on discourses of kinship\, gender\, and sexuality in Latin America and on the intersection of Latin American and North American approaches to citizenship and belonging. He is currently drafting a book manuscript entitled Queer Kinship in the Argentine fin de siglo: La familia Bunge\, and is co-editor with Fernando Blanco and Mario Pecheny of Derechos Sexuales en el Sur: Políticas del amor y escrituras disidentes (Forthcoming\, Cuarto Propio).\n  \nLight refreshments will be served.

SUMMARY:Carmen Boullosa: “Texas: The Great Theft”
DESCRIPTION:Carmen Boullosa is one of Mexico’s leading novelists\, poets\, and playwrights\, whose works interweave speculative\, historical\, and psychological themes with a powerful feminist point of view and a sharp satirical wit. She has published fifteen novels\, among them El complot de los románticos (winner of the Premio de Novela Café Gijón in 2008)\, Las paredes hablan\, La virgen y el violin\, and perhaps most famously\, Llanto. Her works in English translation include They’re Cows\, We’re Pigs; Leaving Tabasco; and Cleopatra Dismounts\, all published by Grove Press\, and Jump of the Manta Ray\, with illustrations by Philip Hughes\, published by The Old Press. Her novels have also been translated into Italian\, Dutch\, German\, French\, Portuguese\, Chinese\, and Russian. A prominent essayist and journalist\, she writes a regular column for El Universal in Mexico City. She has taught at Georgetown\, Columbia\, and New York University\, as well as at universities in nearly a dozen other countries. She is currently Distinguished Lecturer at the City College of New York. \nIn her latest novel\, Texas: The Great Theft (Deep Vellum\, 2014)\, originally published as Tejas: La gran ladronería en la frontera norte (Editorial Alfaguera\, 2013)\, Carmen Boullosa challenges US versions of the romantic origins of Texas. Set on the eve of the US Civil War in the fictional twin border cities of Bruneville and Matasanchez\, the novel depicts relations among gringos\, German immigrants\, Mexican landowners and laborers\, escaped slaves\, Apaches\, and Comanches. In the words of the Dallas Morning News’ Roberto Ontiveros\, it “sardonically explodes and seductively reins itself back in with a panoptic prose that stares down hard into the absurd and uncomfortable prejudices that have historically split this region.” \nFor an advance PDF copy of the novel in Spanish and/or in English\, please contact Kirsten Silva Gruesz (ksgruesz@ucsc.edu).
