The aim of this study is to describe the work of Italo Calvino as a lecturer of Hispano-American writers for Einaudi during the 1970s. Through specific case studies of editorial mediation taken by the archive documents of Einaudi we will outline the principles used by Calvino to assure the edition of Hispano-American works. That will help us to include Calvino’s activity into the field of Latin American literature reception and editorial mediation studies in Italy during the second half of the 20th century.

El presente artículo de reflexión, resultado de la primera parte de la investigación sobre literatura tradicional palenquera y literaturas nativas en Colombia y Latinoamérica, titulado “La literatura oral de San Basilio de Palenque: poética de la literatura oral, popular y tradicional palenquera”, presenta un breve estado del arte sobre las distintas concepciones de la literatura hispanoamericana y latinoamericana por parte de importantes críticos y teóricos de la literatura en el siglo XX. El objetivo principal es develar los contrasentidos y paradojas que se tejieron alrededor del anhelo de una literatura “propia” de nuestro continente. El análisis es de tipo cualitativo interpretativo y como resultado se expone la manera en que algunos autores (Ángel Rama, Roberto Fernández Retamar y Pedro Henríquez Ureña) presentaron propuestas que van en contra de todas aquellas manifestaciones de los pueblos y culturas nativas del continente. Asimismo, se muestra la manera en que estos grandes pensadores latinoamericanos construyeron un imaginario de literatura hispanoamericana a partir de formas y concepciones artísticas propias de la tradición literaria de Europa.

Masculinity And Femininity

This paper discusses Cristina García’s 1997 novel The Agüero Sisters. Its aim is to outline some of the topics present in the novel through the lens of gender, and to contribute to an awareness of Hispanic American literature. Following a brief introduction, the paper discusses masculinity and femininity as present in the novel. Here the paper focuses on two motifs – the position of the human body in the novel, and memory; a link between these two motifs is suggested. Memory is central to the novel, and it appears in different variations throughout the text – nostalgia, intergenerational memory, or memory as an inherently unreliable process. While this paper does not exhaust the topic of memory, it attempts to point out a possible direction for further discussion.

Minority Writers

In literary theory, the works of (ethnic) minority authors–and similarly, the works of authors dealing with minorities–are often referred to as “assimilation narrative.” This term tends to suggest that minority authors, who write in the language of their country, seek a place in society through assimilation. Assimilation, however, means melting up in the majority nation by adopting all the values, customs and way of life characteristic of the majority, and abandoning, leaving behind, giving up the original traditional values, ethics, lifestyle, religion etc. of the minority. Assimilation means disappearing without a trace, continuing life as a new person, with new values, language, a whole set of new cultural assets. In this paper an effort is made to show that this is in fact not what many of the ethnic minority writers look for, so the term assimilation narrative is in many, although certainly not all, the cases, erroneuosly applied. It is justified to make a distinction between assimilation and integration narratives, as the two are not the same. In the paper examples are provided from Hispanic-American literature (Mexican-American, Puerto Rican and Dominican), across a range of genres from prose through drama to poetry, and also, examples are discussed when the author does in fact seek assimilation, as well as stories in which neither assimilation, nor integration is successful.
