O pai de família
08/09/2023
I am still “disavowed” by Interlibrary Loan and do not know why, I must get to the bottom of it. And I’ve lost my Emmelheinz book, I am not sure how. I’m going to replace it with a Kindle copy, I suppose, it is less expensive although I don’t like that as much. And I … More O pai de família
Dependency theory and literary history: the case of Latin America
04/08/2023
Here is the text (from my library, it won’t work for you) as published in the Minnesota Review in 1975. I’ve downloaded it. 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
Ortiz: Românticos e Folcloristas
30/07/2023
I’m going to recycle this photocopy although I shouldn’t, probably — it is about O Guaraní. Anyway, at least I will read or reread it first. Axé.
Colonial Desire
07/12/2022
I have a photocopy of this book and it has always been something I should seriously read. It still is, even though it is old now. I forget that I have it because it is a photocopy. I’m going to get rid of the photocopy and probably buy the book, even though I do not … More Colonial Desire
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
Morel
13/09/2021
This post has to do with the magical realism piece, and in it is a link to a very nice piece on Morel–a novel(la) I will read and teach. Axé.

La bibliothèque
12/01/2020
I have to get the things I said I would, and López Velarde, and the Anzaldúa book I don’t have, and that’s there. I ordered the other one, and might donate it to the library. I’ll see about the Thomas Ward article (Gloria Anzaldúa y la lucha fronteriza). I’m keeping in mind this manifesto on … More La bibliothèque
Compulsory heterosexuality and alternative anthropophagy
28/11/2019
I thought I was just puttering around, rereading Adrienne Rich because someone sent me that essay, and reading about Oswaldo Costa because this article popped up, but actually: they are for my paper. Anzaldúa is a lesbian writer and following Rich, that is more important than her just being a defender of all supposedly “marginal” … More Compulsory heterosexuality and alternative anthropophagy
