Elite Capture
31/05/2024
What interests me about the book isn’t just the thesis. It’s that, as he points out, people have seen this and written about it before. Decades ago. The other thing is the arguments he describes in detail, I didn’t know all of the people he discusses. And chronology gets clarified since he is looking globally. … More Elite Capture
Marginality in Mexican Thought

This journal issue is too old to keep but … people like Leopoldo Zea are good to know. Here is a PDF of the whole thing. Axé.
Se me va la vida
08/02/2024
…or so to speak. Books now going, are going because they’re tattered and don’t look refreshing. There’s an English translation of Benítez Rojo, La isla que se repite, a good book, but I believe we have it in Spanish and anyway, this is widely available. On second thought I’ll take it home for my paper, … More Se me va la vida
The Prose of the World
07/02/2024
That is a chapter title in Sandy Petrey, Speech Acts and Literary Theory, a photocopied book I am recycling, and that I would like to study again. But it can be bought now, again, as a book, not a pile of paper. Petrey talks about the referent as something real. “The continental masters of doubt … More The Prose of the World
Transculturación narrativa en América Latina
06/02/2024
Another photocopied book hits the recycling bin and I haven’t even checked to see in what e-format it is available, I’m sure it is and I think, somewhere, I actually have it as a book now. I have to get rid of more books, too, so as to KNOW for sure what I have as … More Transculturación narrativa en América Latina
Las escuelas argentinas de vanguardia
06/02/2024
There is wonderful information in this book but I don’t want to read a photocopy and I am too traumatized by the author to read it, anyway. It is not that easy to get, but they have it at Tulane and one could go and read at it there. Also, I think seeing it online, … More Las escuelas argentinas de vanguardia
O pai de família e outros estudos
01/02/2024
I was going to recycle this clean and complete photocopy but there isn’t a good online edition and the book isn’t easily available elsewhere. I love the author, Roberto Schwarz. I did not realize the title comes form a Kafka story, or that Diderot has a play by this title (that I should read). In … More O pai de família e outros estudos
On Savage Shores
27/01/2024
We have to get this book. I discovered it by procrastinating while trying to think about Bernal Díaz del Castillo, and it does have directly to do with Cortés, even though I did not find it through a search on him but while avoiding doing one. It’s synchronicity, serendipitous. I discovered it via this article. … More On Savage Shores
Prison Notebooks, and Michael Roemer
27/01/2024
Gramsci’s Prison Notebooks are something I actually want to read. They fit my projects, too, but that is secondary. I’ve had a very interesting adventure with this book. I discovered a photocopy of part of it, made when it was new, in connection with an article on television and traditional narrative I should have finished. … More Prison Notebooks, and Michael Roemer
