Literature & Literary StudiesEl arte de la cháchara - La poética de lo abigarrado en las novelas de Enrique Lihn
La poética de lo abigarrado en las novelas de Enrique Lihn
by Daniel Rojas Pachas
La trilogía sobre la retórica del poder, que Enrique Lihn nos ha legado, fue creada bajo el signo del bufón y la podemos entender como literatura plural y abigarrada. Antonio Cornejo Polar señala en torno a estos dos conceptos: "corresponde a una especie de supradiscurso multiétnico que acumula, sin sintetizarlas, sus hondas y extensas contradicciones". En ese tenor, Enrique Lihn señala en uno de sus versos, dedicados al ocio increíble del que somos capaces: “el estilo que por lo cierto no es el hombre / sino la suma de sus incertidumbres”. En busca de la contradicción inherente, el autor chileno crea realidades ficcionales, que se apartan de lo documental y privilegia generar efectos de enmascaramiento y una comunicación que se da en términos de una combinación de estados neuróticos y paranoides. Habla que remite a un marco de censura y vigilancia, al punto de extremar el locus horridus propiciado por un poder corrupto e irrefrenable. Se trata del reino en que prevalece la palabra vacía e impotente que surge de la censura. Daniel Rojas Pachas nos entrega en este ensayo, una visión profunda y crítica de la narrativa, de uno de los escritores chilenos más importantes del siglo XX.

La tierra permanece
-
by Luis Benitez
Generación va, y generación viene; más la tierra siempre permanece. Eclesiastés 1:4 Contratapa de Alejandro Schmidt: "Es una cita del Antiguo Testamento tan conocida como desoladora para la fatuidad del hombre contemporáneo. El triunfo del tiempo, de un tiempo no intervenido, digamos mejor de una, aleccionadora, eternidad. En este nuevo libro de Luis Benítez uno de los poetas más importantes y acaso más secretos de la así llamada generación del ’80 retoma las enseñanzas de lo Real (dicho esto en el sentido de la sabiduría o su proverbio). Todo sirve, la muerte de un gato y una mosca, el Pacífico, la vía láctea, las notas eruditas, alguna anécdota y siempre una especie de gran anhelo por la naturaleza, lo perdido, lo que fluye. A lo largo de más de media vida he ido disfrutando esta obra que reúne una treintena de libros, amén de lo que Benítez produjo como narrador, ensayista y en el campo de la investigación y la difusión de la poesía entre nosotros. Lenta pero inclaudicablemente Luis ha ido abandonado la impronta de cierto anglicismo, alguna métrica, alguna aspiración, para cavar más profundamente en el oscuro corazón luminoso de la poesía argentina. Qué está despierto, que sueña, cuál es la historia natural de todos, que perdemos, dónde somos, dónde dejamos de ser. Estas son alguna de las preguntas, las respuestas que aborda Benítez."

September 2015Exposición múltiple
by Autores varios
Exposición múltiple es el encuentro de veinte creadores. Diez narradores y diez fotógrafos se combinan a ciegas en la construcción de diez historias. Ninguno de ellos podría haber previsto el resultado final de sus creaciones. La diversidad de los relatos y la riqueza visual de las fotografías nos sumerge en un mundo donde Fenimore, apodado Mario Baracus, es un integrante de un grupo anarquista clandestino. También corre en las páginas del libro Lobo, un perro heroico. Beto declara que no tiene ningún apuro en regar las plantas, ni en recibirse, ni en dejar la casa, ni en casarse. Los estorninos vuelan juntos como un fantasma diurno de las alturas. ¿Qué bichos andan debajo de la corteza y dibujan surcos en el tronco? ¿Qué secreto esconde el sabor de la savia? Al terminar el día, la luna llena asoma entre los árboles del bosque cuando un perro pasa como una sombra y corre dando saltos. A lo lejos se escucha un grito agudo, Corazón, Corazón… Exposición múltiple es una creación de:Guillermo Álvarez Castro, Gustavo Espinosa, Henry Trujillo, Horacio Cavallo, Inés Bortagaray, Inés Garland, Leonardo Cabrera, Manuel Soriano, Mercedes Estramil, Rosario Lázaro IgoaÁlvaro Percovich, Carlos Contrera, Guillermo Carballa, Jorge Ameal, Manuela Aldabe, Marcelo Casacuberta, Mariana Méndez, Pablo Bielli, Santiago Mazzarovich, Tali Kimelman

Society and culture in Dalcidio Jurandir
by Willi Bolle
This book presents an overview of Amazonian history and analyzes the novel Cycle of the Far North, by Dalcidio Jurandir, a work that represents the social inequality and exclusion inherent to Amazonian society. Willi Bolle rescues the work of this important, albeit unknown, author, emphasizing Dalcidio Jurandir’s contribution to our understanding of Amazonian culture. In his work, Jurandir describes the quotidian of those living in the periphery of society, and advocates, quite emphatically, quality education for the poor. He also registers the social dialect of the inhabitants of the Amazon, in a document of the cultural memory of the region.

90 partidos. 90 autores. 90 relatos
by David García Cames, Miguel Ángel Ortiz and Marcel Beltran
Football breaks down all doors, including those of literature. Contrary to popular belief, there are many writers who at some point were attracted by the mystery of the goal or the fervor of the stands. The ball sneaks into the work and life of authors who have built bridges between these two apparently dissociated worlds. From Marguerite Duras to Eduardo Galeano, passing through Albert Camus, Roberto Bolaño, Svetlana Aleksiévich or Federico García Lorca. This book is 90 games that were played one day. This book is made up of 90 stories, halfway between the chronicle and the tale, with which tribute is paid to 90 extraordinary creators who have influenced our way of understanding football.

FictionRewind
by Juan Tallón
SHORTLISTED FOR IV PREMIO BIENAL DE NOVELA MARIO VARGAS LLOSA 2021 - One Friday in May, on what is shaping up to be a perfect day, there is a strange explosion in a building in Lyon. One of the flats in the now ruined building was occupied by a group of students from various countries who were having a party. Paul, student of Fine Art; Emma, tormented by the tortuous history of her Spanish family; Luca, fascinated both with mathematics and with the cyclist, Marco Pantani; and Ilka, a student who left Berlin with nothing more than a guitar on her back: these are the tenants of a house that was a popular meeting place for the city’s students. In the neighbouring flat, also hit by the explosion, lives a quiet Moroccan family, whose members are apparently well-integrated into French life. The novel explores events from various points of view. Through five narrators – victims and witnesses – we discover what happened that Friday night and the consequences that unfolded over the next three years, until their accounts have covered every hidden aspect of the explosion. Rewind explores whether it is possible to rewind events. And examines our personal ghosts, the role of chance, the people who in the end we do not become, the secrets that must or must not be told, and our capacity to remake ourselves when we are broken. This novel is an espionage operation that investigates the mechanisms of life. How it changes without warning, turns, throws you into the air and destroys you when you are least prepared for it. And, just as mysteriously, how – if you survive everything life has to throw at you – it then allows you to remake yourself and keep moving forward.

FictionApril 2021Hosts
by Julio Botella
A book delves into the psychology of victims of child abuse and bullying, in their childhood and in the development of their personality in the future. A host (un huésped) is also a plant or animal in whose body a parasite is housed. Julio Botella brings this idea to the plane of family psychology. In a family, what is not spoken about, not understood, born from some dark circumstance, creates a broken personality that unconsciously ends up staying in a new member. That is the invisible family heritage that these stories show. Huéspedes (Hosts) is a book of stories that subtly intersect. The characters go through them coiled in their personality, unaware that they are hosts and transmitters. The narrator is a conscious voice of this heritage and his writing becomes a kind of exorcism. He takes the reader deep into the characters through very powerful scenes where they face their fears. A father who transfers his frustration to an insecure daughter. Another father with fear of death who takes out his anger in the relationship with the family dog. A child who suffers harassment because he is not recognized by parents who expect something else from him, his own redemption. A grandmother who abducts a granddaughter with her childhood story to feel like an artist again. And all of them tacitly related. Huéspedes returns to Spanish literature a realism that seeks to unmask social errors that are repeated over time.

Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2019Lugares, recorridos y sentidos de la memoria histórica: Acercamientos metodológicos
by Laura Fonseca Durán, Diana Vernot, Tatiana Rojas Roa, Laura Giraldo Martínez, Edwin Corena Puentes, David J. Luquetta Cediel
This book is an initiative of the Regional Groups of Historical Memory (GRMH), which, together with the National Center for Historical Memory since 2013, generated proposals for the construction of historical memory in Colombia. The objective of the consolidation of the GRMH has been to recognize local research processes carried out by university professors to build bridges between the country's institutions and communities victimized in the framework of the internal armed conflict in Colombia. Although the participatory social research bets are nourished by multiple edges, disciplines, and schools of thought, there are methodological peculiarities in the investigations that are formulated in the key of historical memory that, on this occasion, are transversal and are deepened in each chapter.

Literary FictionMay 2021Outside of time
by Silvia Bardelás
"Destiempo is a song to the fight for internal revolutions and the desire to free ourselves from the vital ropes that bind us." - Armando Requeixo. Diario cultural. Radio Galega Destiempo illuminates the we as the truly human space. An older woman asks her grandson to come back to Galicia from the United States to spend the summer with her. She wants him to attend a kind of social fight that she is carrying out with her friends. They look for action as the only thing that can give meaning to their lives. Silvia Bardelás mixes different generations that share the same problem: the weight of a standardized world, full of discourses, oblivious to vitality. The possibility of feeling alive and real again makes everything move in an unstoppable way. The story is a coming and going of past and present, of ideas and actions that reveal the silent social power and the inner need to feel free. Destiempo (Outside of time) is a community novel. Beyond individuality, beyond the group is the we, which can only emerge genuinely when individuals become singular beings, when they become aware of the myths, the ideology, the discourses that have dominated their lives and those of their ancestors. The narrator puts the focus on the interrelation. He lights up scenes where the characters discover themselves through others.
