Crisis y reemergencia

Sinopsis del Libro

n the last decades—and especially since the 1990s—there has been a noticeable reemergence of the nineteenth century in Southern Cone culture. Popular nineteenth-century figures (indios, gauchos, letrados, and cautivas) have reentered the national literary scene in Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay. Nineteenth-century heroes such as San Martín and Artigas are again the main protagonists of Southern Cone theater, film, and literature. Canonical nineteenth-century texts (La cautiva, Martín Fierro, Facundo) are being rewritten one more time in different artistic fields. Foundational nineteenth-century genres (travel narratives, gauchesque poems, and national romances) are being transformed and recycled. Controversial nineteenth-century events (the civil wars, the massacre of indigenous communities) are being revisited and explored. Through a combination of close textual analysis and a broader perspective rooted in cultural theory, this book answers two interrelated questions: Why did the nineteenth century resurface so strongly in the last decades? What are the ideological implications of this reemergence?Based on a transnational comparison of Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay, and a survey of narratives that were mostly produced by well-known figures (political activists, public intellectuals, and canonical authors), Crisis y reemergencia helps to elucidate how the Southern Cone cultural field has changed since the 1990s: how intellectuals' ethics, national identities, and discursive strategies that were functional to the consolidation of liberalism in the nineteenth century have been challenged, transformed, and rethought in the last decades. Borrowing from cultural Marxism, discourse analysis, and postcolonial theory, the book pursues a triple contribution: to define the discursive and ideological components that were at the core of the nineteenth century, to show their continuity up to the 1990s (and thus clarify the connections between liberalism and neoliberalism), and to expose their recent transformation—a transformation that paved the way for the “return of the political” to the region.

América

El historiador dos veces galardonado con el Premio Pulitzer David McCullough se sumerge en el pasado estadounidense, siguiendo la estela de Tocqueville y los grandes escritores convencidos de los valores de la democracia. Quince espléndidos textos escritos con ocasión de diferentes conmemoraciones públicas dan lugar a una sólida narración, precisa y elegante: desde valores encarnados en figuras casi míticas como Theodore Roosevelt y J. F. Kennedy al modo como John Adams cedió la responsabilidad de la redacción de la Constitución a Jefferson, al que consideraba mejor escritor que él; ...

U-BOOTE

From the beginning of the Second World War the sea became a vitally important scene of conflict. Great Britain relied on receiving supplies by sea and, therefore, a total blockade of the United Kingdom was one the main objectives of Hitler’s Germany. The British government was forced to maintain a strategy of antisubmarine warfare throughout the conflict, while the Royal Navy sought to interrupt the Third Reich’s maritime traffic. In these circumstances the submarine became an important weapon of war. Headed by Karl Dönitz, who would later succeed Hitler as Head of State, the German...

Anales

Cornelio Tácito (ca. 56 - ca. 120), cumbre de la historiografía latina, al final de su vida escribió los Anales, obra en la que con incomparable maestría estilística y sin expresar nunca abiertamente su opinión desenmascara sin piedad a los emperadores de la familia Julio-Claudia. Así, las escasas pinceladas sobre Augusto, que empañan la imagen del fundador del Imperio, dejan paso al elaborado retrato del cruel e hipócrita Tiberio. se ha perdido toda la sección correspondiente a Calígula y parte del reinado de Claudio, pero la parte conservada evidencia que este príncipe fue un...
