The overarching theme of the collection is the revision of the accepted view of Latin American national identities as represented in twentieth-century Latin American literature and culture. The book examines the complexity of national identities forged among political crises, economic upheaval and intercultural influences.\u003cbr\u003e The essays included here focus upon internal contradictions of national identity and the factors contributing to this discord. Among these are the nature of the Latin American intellectual, Latin American modernity and exile, and the psychological underpinning of the re-creation of history. Some of the chapters challenge the existing theoretical framework for Latin American literary analysis by employing non-literary theories to analyse hitherto overlooked textual anomalies.\u003cbr\u003e The book is a Festschrift for Professor Peter R. Beardsell, reflecting the importance of his contribution to Latin American literary and cultural studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents: Victoria Carpenter\/Amit Thakkar: Introduction – Anthony Stanton: National Identity as Textual Construction in \u003ci\u003eVisión de Anáhuac\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003e(1519) \u003c\/i\u003eby Alfonso Reyes – Mark Millington: Configuring the Self as Public Intellectual in José Vasconcelos’s \u003ci\u003eUlises criollo \u003c\/i\u003e– Gustavo San Román: Rodó’s Gaze on Europe – Adam Sharman: The State and the Muse: \u003ci\u003eTrilce\u003c\/i\u003e VI and the Politics of Poetry – Christopher Harris: Juan Rulfo’s Critique of Patriarchal Masculinity in Revolutionary and Post-Revolutionary Mexico: ‘El llano en llamas’ (1953) and \u003ci\u003ePedro Páramo\u003c\/i\u003e (1955) – Victoria Carpenter: Temporal Permutations in Octavio Paz’s ‘Piedra de sol’ (1957) – Philip Swanson: Unfinished Business: \u003ci\u003eLagartija sin cola\u003c\/i\u003e (2007), Donoso’s Lost Novel – Lloyd Hughes Davies: History and Hysteria in Fernando del Paso’s \u003ci\u003eNoticias del Imperio \u003c\/i\u003e(1987) – Stephen Hart: Black Magic and the Black Market in Contemporary Cuba.","brand":"Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043609444695,"sku":"9783034302739","price":49.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783034302739.jpg?v=1750958860","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/a-world-in-words-a-life-in-texts-revisiting-latin-american-cultural-heritage-festschrift-in-honour-of-peter-r-beardsell-9783034302739","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
