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
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
Teaching los detectives salvajes
29/01/2024
“It does seem to make some pointed analyses of contemporary culture. I’d say teach it, along with something like Propaganda: The Formation of Men’s Attitudes by Jacques Ellul or maybe something a little more recent by Chomsky. You could add another book or short selections by Neil Postman or more contemporary media theorists, and then … More Teaching los detectives salvajes
A lovely new log
29/01/2024
I put in a funding request for the speaker, and a room reservation request. As a result, I must now find and fill out five different forms (so far). I must also make parking and food/lunch arrangements, and make flyers and send them all around. There are numerous other bureaucratic tasks like this this week, … More A lovely new log
