Guamán Poma, Hans Koning…and more
12/03/2024
Rolena Adorno’s 1986 book and Koning on Columbus’ enterprise are going, for faded covers and because I don’t open them any more. They are truly great books and fortunately, not hard to get. So great that I can get them again. Also, what the heck for tatteredness: Brotherston on Latin American poetry (origins and presence); … More Guamán Poma, Hans Koning…and more

…although I thought ‘Baki was Sabaki. In any case, here’s the article about his correspondence with Joseph Beam. ‘Baki is brilliant. Axé.
Vanguardias and Peter Dews
07/03/2024
The collection of essays Tradition and renewal, on 20th century literature, is 49 years old and I am donating it, even though there are good things in it (it is available on archive.org). I feel that scholarship really has improved since then. I am again so sad that I couldn’t connect to it for so … More Vanguardias and Peter Dews
Nancy K. Miller’s “Changing the Subject,” Vallejo, and the (il)legibility of Cecilia Valdés
06/03/2024
I have this as a journal article, in an issue I am recycling, but it’s available as part of Miller’s book Subject to Change, which can still be acquired. It’s a 1986 piece, from when I was worried about this question: was the decentering/death of the subject revolutionary if the subject to be killed, fragmented, … More Nancy K.

Revista Colónida e mais vanguardas
05/03/2024
I had a photocopy of this facsimile copy of Colónida but as you see, it is now available online. I also had a photocopy of this Brazilian collection of essays on the avant-garde by smart and prominent people, but it is old now and can be seen at Tulane. There is also Transition 78, a … More Revista Colónida e mais vanguardas

Nice photocopies of books, that I’d actually like to have in the library, going because they’re photocopies and they’re dated, although still good, useful, classic: Mariaca, El poder de la palabra (and my photocopy was from the 90s, not this edition, and you can get PDFs of this book, too, from ResearchGate and places like … More Mariaca, Rama, Roa Bastos, Weatherford

Here are some books I want. El luto humano. Los días terrenales. These articles do not sell the novels well but I am sure they are very beautiful. Axé.
Unpacking my library, again
27/02/2024
There’s an essay by that title, which I should reread. I found a scrap of paper in the office where I had written: “My problem is that I am a person who does research but everyone tells me that is ‘not you’.” Gosh, people were convinced they knew identities then. There’s a nice e-book now … More Unpacking my library, again
Race and the modern state
25/02/2024
These are notes from very long ago, a LARR issue on race, referring in part to Anthony Marx, “Making race and nation: a comparison of the U.S., S.A., and Brazil.” The modern state played a formative role in the development of racialized societies. It excluded Blacks to gain legitimacy among whites and is a racialized … More Race and the modern state
