Primero Sueno

El texto que sigue aprovecha el trabajo que he publicado sobre el barroco y, en especial, mi ensayo “Lírica colonial,” que aparece en la Historia de la literatura hispanoamericana, que Gredos publicó en el 2006, y que había aparecido en su versión original inglesa en la Cambridge History of Latin American Literature, de 1996. También retomo algunas de las ideas de Celestina´s Brood: Continuities of the Baroque in Spanish and Latin American Literature, que se publicó en España como La prole de Celestina. Pero aquí aspiro a ir más lejos al concentrarme en un solo poema de Sor Juana, “Primero sueño”, y utilizar ideas que he ido desarrollando en los últimos diez o quince años. Las más recientes forman parte de un libro en marcha sobre el infinito y la improvisación del que ya han aparecido algunos adelantos sobre Cervantes y Calderón. Hay otro sobre Lope en camino.

Sociocultural Interactions

This essay studies Afro-Asian sociocultural interactions in cultural production by or about Asian Latin Americans, with an emphasis on Cuba and Brazil. Among the recurrent characters are the black slave, the china mulata, or the black ally who expresses sympathy or even marries the Asian character. This reflects a common history of bondage shared by black slaves, Chinese coolies, and Japanese indentured workers, as well as a common history of marronage. These conflicts and alliances between Asians and blacks contest the official discourse of mestizaje (Spanish-indigenous dichotomies in Mexico and Andean countries, for example, or black and white binaries in Brazil and the Caribbean) that, under the guise of incorporating the other, favored whiteness while attempting to silence, ignore, or ultimately erase their worldviews and cultures.
