30/08/2023
Gabilondo discusses Spanish nationalisms after European integration, and the idea of nations without states, or post-nation-state nationalisms, is interesting. What implications does it have? These nationalisms mirror franquista nationalism, so they are unlike modern nationalisms in that they try NOT to hybridize (contrast García Canclini).

World’s fattest revision request
18/08/2023

Dependency theory and literary history: the case of Latin America

I’ve been carrying around a paper copy of it as a NYU working paper for 48 years. It’s still fresh. There is a lot in it and I carried it around because … More Dependency theory and literary history: the case of Latin America
