The World’s Most Expensive Party

We have to watch this. On the Shah of Iran. The 2,500th anniversary, and all. 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
Transnational cinema and the Mexican state
08/02/2024
There is a great 2004 article on Y tu mamá también by this title. Now, it’s available on JSTOR. It’s in a great issue of South Central Review on memory and nation in contemporary Mexico, now available in Project Muse. I could study this article and then build a course around all the films it … More Transnational cinema and the Mexican state
El vendedor de silencio

I should read Enrique Serna. Axé.
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
Antenor Orrego, Mi encuentro con César Vallejo
07/02/2024
This is another valuable, photocopied book that I am recycling. And there are things in it like photographs of the cover of first edition of Rusia en 1931. Reflexiones al pie del Kremlin, marvelously ’30s, and a Soviet postcard to Orrego. I will keep some of these things. There are also all of Orrego’s journalistic … More Antenor Orrego, Mi encuentro con César Vallejo
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
La des-autorización de la voz poética / Freie U. Berlin
06/02/2024
Here is the Jean Franco article. It is in another photocopied book I recycled, and that is good, and that was part of my identity, and that I should reread. The object itself was hard to let go, but the text is available, as you can see. Axé.
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
Sarlo: el imperio de los sentimientos
05/02/2024
This is an important book and I photocopied it long ago, because I had that paper on soap operas (that I’d still like to do something with). I never read it, and now I’ve decided to recycle it since it’s available as a Real Book, which I prefer. I’m depressed and I have been so … More Sarlo: el imperio de los sentimientos
