Limpieza

I wrote this down and I cannot remember when or who gave me these instructions. I did not understand them well at the time, either. In any case, this was in Spanish, not Portuguese. Axé.

Latin Americanism
29/11/2022
I have finally ordered Alberto’s book, and we will find out what I think of his story. In the meantime, I never read his whole schtick on Latin Americanism. Perhaps now I shall. It’s The Cultural Practice of Latin Americanism and it’s in three volumes, and it started in Dispositio. There’s an article I’m recycling … More Latin Americanism
Memorias del subdesarrollo
29/11/2022
These notes are on that film, I do believe. Why did I keep them for years? Let us see. Revolution replaces underdevelopment, so the character remembers. The focus is personal and moves toward the historica. The film is about how people carry the mentality of underdevelopment within them. Project: how to be a writer with … More Memorias del subdesarrollo
Race in Spain–and that language article
28/11/2022
It is important to read this article about race. Also, I think I’m going to go to that SCLA conference again and present my paper “Language and the entrepreneurial university,” and see what they think of it. For that, there is this important article from 1989. Language is historically and linguistically conditions; experiences become experiences … More Race in Spain–and that language article
Immanuel Kant and “Genealogía de la raza latina”
27/11/2022
About her article, Joseba said: “I’m actually expanding the Kant section to an entire chapter, making race/colonialism/epistemology a new analytical core from which to read his entire work. I’m writing in Basque but hopefully it will be translated to English afterwards (I study More, Descartes, Spinoza, Kant, Hegel and Marx).” Axé.
Fernando Coronil

Randomly, I think Bonilla-Silva (‘racism without racists’) can help me with my book. The reason the novels I don’t understand are so incomprehensible around race is that they’re in fact massively racist. My initial reaction was that they were describing a racist environment in massive detail, with some implicit or even direct critique, but not … More Fernando Coronil
Benedito Nunes
23/11/2022
I am recycling a file including a photocopy of a typescript of Benedito Nunes, “Antropophagisme et surréalisme,” followed by a French translation with good notes. I think the translation is here and that I could get it from a legitimate source. It was part of a colloquium, “Surréalisme périphérique,” of which there are some other … More Benedito Nunes
Sheet music
21/11/2022
In my file reduction effort I recycled some photocopied and and also hand-transcribed and photocopied sheet music. It is just too tattered, and also I can’t play at that level any more–and if I ever can, I will have new music. But this sheet music was part of my old identity, for one thing. For … More Sheet music
Nuevos hispanismos transatlánticos en el siglo XXI
20/11/2022
Panhispanism is now a thing. One must look at Laura Scarano, Universidad Nacional de Mar del Plata – CONICET, and other places. It came up because I was asked to meld the survey courses into one, and/or teach the introduction to Latin American Studies, or something. Something. I’m tired of desperately coming up with courses … More Nuevos hispanismos transatlánticos en el siglo XXI
Brilliant 2013 Text
20/11/2022
I wrote this, forcing it out, and then could not continue. I can use pieces of it, though, to revise the current pieces, or in the manuscript of the book, or something. I could not continue because I tortured myself doing this. Or something, I wasn’t able to put writing in the center of life … More Brilliant 2013 Text
