The Relationship

The relationship between Uruguayan writer Juan Carlos Onetti and the cinema is extensive and. When we analyze one of the many adaptations of his work, we have to consider that it is a relationship of double influence, since our author has also take from the cinema to develop one of the most extensive and essential works of Latin American literature. For this reason, it is increasingly common to find interpretations that propose a cinematic reading of Onetti's work. As part of a similar exercise, we propose to read the story "Jacob and the Other" (1961) in the light of his adaptation to the cinema made by Álvaro Brechner in Un mal día para pescar (2009). In doing so, Onetti's tale obtains new interpretations that can be reached by analyzing it with the eyes of the cinema.

The 19Th Century

The fascination of Latin American modernism for 19th century French fashion merchandise has been widely addressed in literary theory. Texts filled with diverse cultural materials, textures and objects configured a poetics of the bazaar that became part of a series of strategies through which Latin American literature defined and linked itself to hegemonic aesthetics of the 19th century. The poems and chronicles of Cuban writer Julián del Casal (1863-1893) are no exception; this proliferation of merchandise reveals how the gaze and the images become configured as empty fictions, filled by a cosmopolitan desire. This feature, tied to the function and configuration of images in Cuban modernism, makes possible an anachronical reading of the presence of State merchandise at the other end of the century: Antonio José Ponte’s decadent reality in post-Soviet Cuba.

The conceptual development of memory shows the need of constructing stories that confront grief without deactivating its political power. For this, following Rancière and Agamben, it’s necessary to promote dissent by making visible the “parts with no part” of the social body and the fissures of the present, which can be seen in some narratives of the "rural turn", a growing trend in Latin American literature. In the case of Colombia, this displacement, closely linked to the construction of memories of the armed conflict, vindicates stories that have been ignored by the main discourses about violence, such as damage to ecosystems and the dispossession of peasant and ancestral territories. In order to determine the relationship between the memories of the armed conflict and the rural turn, I analyze two novels: Los derrotados, by Pablo Montoya, and Elástico de sombra, by Juan Cárdenas. Starting from the similarities and differences between the two, I will outline at the end some general lines about the rural turn and its importance in current literature.

The many-electron reduced matrix elements of the double tensor operator [Formula: see text] are tabulated for the pn, dn and fn configurations. These tables have been calculated from the Racah formalism and form an extension of the tabulations given by Nielson and Koster for K2 = 1. The relationship of this tensor with the other double tensors and the calculation of the matrix elements is summarized. See Chatterjee et al for an application.

The Relationship

Postcolonialism is briefly presented as an academic approach in contemporary literary studies, with two opposite currents as far as the study of Latin American literature is concerned. The first constructs the relationship between Latin American and European literature as oppositional, whereas the second focuses in a more harmonious way on their interrelationship. It is argued that both currents cluster around a divergent reading of the ‘cannibal’ metaphor. The article then centres on the position of the Mexican writer Carlos Fuentes, who covers both postcolonial tendencies. This is shown by focusing upon a specific case, his early novella Aura. Attention is paid to the tension between Europe and Latin America, both on a literary level (intertextuality) and on a historical level (colonization and nation-building).

The article will suggest that the texts and ways of reaching some materials and perspectives in Argentina, remains at a national level. It is important to notice that in order to read criticism and theory regarding Latin American literature, Spanish from Río de la Plata separates at some point the fields. In that regard, one of the greatest assets and achievements of Argentinian literary research concerns the relationship between politics and fiction. In connection with this it might be asked how we can think of Argentinian literature without linking it to the social discourse? How can we think of the comparative field of Latin-American and Argentinian literature as one academic area of studies? In our view, comparatism seems to be one of the loneliest areas of studies in terms of the fields of theory, fiction and criticism. We thus suggest that in Argentina, literary research and criticism in general are strictly concerned with only one option: the national culture. Thus, exclusively, western theoretical frames are chosen to read literature and comparative perspectives are mostly applied to European studies. That is why I insist on the fact that comparative literary research is not represented institutionally at all.
