Reception Aesthetics

Phenomenological literary theory has its roots in Edmund Husserl’s studies of the directional acts of consciousness in the first half of the 20th century and Roman Ingarden’s The Literary Work of Art and The Cognition of the Literary Work of Art, arguing that literary works can come into existence only in the act of reading. Under the influence of Martin Heidegger, phenomenology absorbed hermeneutic insights from Dilthey, Gadamer, and Ricoeur, as well as existentialist features, foremost from Jean-Paul Sartre, with Merleau-Ponty contributing a corporeal accent by reiterating Husserl’s distinction between the biophysical body (Körper) and the animate body (Leib). George Poulet of the Geneva school and the early Yale critics added an author-oriented form of literary criticism, while Ingarden’s work was taken up by the Konstanz school theorists Wolfgang Iser and Hans Robert Jauss, the latter challenging ontological approaches by a historically anchored form of reception aesthetics. In the United States, the idea of phenomenology in literature has been prominently pursued by Maurice Natanson. At the same time, phenomenological literary theory is undergoing a revival in the wake of the neo-phenomenology of Hermann Schmitz, notably in such writings as Rita Felski’s Uses of Literature.

Resumen: La obra de Gloria Anzaldúa, en la actualidad, tiene una gran importancia para los estudios latinoamericanos y para la crí­tica literaria feminista. Esto se debe a la influencia de los estudios acerca de la interseccionalidad en el feminismo con las coordenadas de sexo, género, raza y clase social, y de los cambios en la crí­tica literaria interesada en estudiar la creación literaria en clave de polí­ticas de la escritura. También porque a partir de los 80 se hizo más visible la producción literaria de las mujeres y surgió un marcado interés en el estudio del sujeto del feminismo. Los anteriores hitos llevaron a las feministas a preguntarse por el sujeto del feminismo, y con él por la experiencia de este sujeto. Se encontró que la experiencia es una construcción como el género de los sujetos y que, por lo tanto, no puede adjudicarse un tipo de experiencia en razón al sexo biológico, la raza y la clase social. Este artí­culo, a partir de la obra de Gloria Anzaldúa, describe las transformaciones de la idea de experiencia en el feminismo y la aborda como una construcción e interpretación de sí­ mediante polí­ticas de la escritura.Palabras claves: Gloria Anzaldúa, experiencia, sujeto del feminismo, polí­ticas de la escritura, Crí­tica literaria feminista.Sumary: The work of Gloria Anzaldúa is currently of great importance for Latin American studies and for feminist literary criticism. This is due to the influence of intersectionality studies in feminism with the coordinates of sex, gender, race and social class, and of changes in literary criticism interested in studying literary creation in the key of writing policies. Also because from the 80's the women's literary production became more visible and there was a marked interest in the study of the subject of feminism. The previous milestones led feminists to wonder about the subject of feminism and the experience of this subject. It was found that experience is a construction as the gender of subjects and therefore can not be awarded a type of experience on the grounds of biological sex, race and social class. This article, based on the work of Gloria Anzaldúa, describes the transformations of the idea of experience in feminism and approaches it as a construction and interpretation of itself through policies of writing.Key notes: Experience, Subject of feminism, Writing policies, Gloria Anzaldúa[1] Doctora en Pedagogí­a de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México.

En este artículo se examinan los hechos recientes sobre el creciente conflicto cultural que hay en Estados Unidos en torno al aborto, que se sitúa en el contexto histórico estructural contemporáneo de transición entre dos modelos capitalistas: la modernidad industrial y el posindustrialismo neoliberal globalizado. Por tanto, se exploran sus antecedentes legales y, de manera breve, se analizan los discursos y los actores en disputa. También se revisa la nueva legislación, que en muchos estados ha restringido el acceso al aborto despenalizado para las mujeres de menos ingresos y se evalúan, en general, las implicaciones que esto tiene en la vida de ellas.Palabras clave: Estados Unidos; aborto; disputa; feminismo; conservadurismo-religioso.AbstractIn this article I examine recent events in the contemporary conflict over abortion in the United States. I frame today’s cultural dispute over abortion within the confines of a particular historical and structural context of transition between two distinct capitalist models: the era of industrial modernity and postindustrial, neoliberal globalization. In the article I explore the judicial history of abortion in the United States, while analyzing the content of representative discourses, and highlight demands of contending collective actors. Finally, I review new legislation that has limited access to legal abortion for economically vulnerable women in many states, evaluating its impact on women’s lives and implications for the future.Key words: Unites States; abortion; dispute; feminism; religious conservatism.

The aim of the research is to develop the typology and examine the features of women’s representations in the US literary works, focused on medical problematics.The research methodology is based on the application of modern literary studies in the fields of narratology, receptive aesthetics and literary hermeneutics. The paper analyses the author’s intentions and the role of the reader’s reception of medical discourse through the prism of gender studies and feminist literary criticism. We analyse the semi-autobiographical prose works by the American writers: “The Snake Pit” (1946) by Mary Jane Ward, “The Bell Jar” (1963) by Sylvia Plath, and “Prozac Nation” (1994) by Elizabeth Wurtzel. The theoretical significance of the research consists in the disclosure of women’s representations in the American literary and medical discourse in the diachronic focus. We examine the role of women as physicians, the peculiarities of representing women as nurses, as well as the narrative role of women as patients. The research is the first scientific attempt to examine the peculiarities of narrative representation of women in the literary and medical discourse of the US prose. The research demonstrates the transformation of women’s representations in the analysed novels, which directly reflects the emancipation tendencies over the course of the 20th century. These changes are naturally displayed in the narrative configuration of the prose works under consideration. The study of medical problems in a literary work through the prism of narratology and receptive aesthetics reveales the author’s intentionality and dimensions of the reader’s reception, as well as enables us to re-consider the socio-cultural phenomena, such as illness and health, norm and pathology. The results of the study will improve the content of training courses in the world literature and form a methodological basis for the development of special courses, theme-based seminars and academic syllabi.

Hortus Conclusus

Resumen: La obra de Carmen Conde (Cartagena, 1907-Madrid, 1996) escrita en el período de posguerra establece un profundo diálogo con el tópico del locus amoenus a través de uno de los espacios con los que frecuentemente aparece relacionado, el jardín u hortus conclusus, y de uno de sus elementos constitutivos, la flor. En algunos de los poemas pertenecientes a Ansia de la gracia (1945) e Iluminada tierra (1951), el jardín y el imaginario floral servirán para plantear modelos de identidad femenina que transgreden tanto la imagen pasiva de la mujer proyectada por la literatura patriarcal a través de los tópicos, como la impuesta por el proyecto identitario nacional del régimen de Franco. En este artículo se elabora un marco teórico desde la teoría literaria feminista para el estudio de esta reescritura y se analizan algunos de los textos de Carmen Conde que son representativos de la misma. Abstract: The literary work of Carmen Conde (Cartagena, 1907-Madrid, 1996) written during the post-war period stablishes a deep dialogue with the topic of locus amoenus through one of the spaces which it is frecuently connected to, the garden or hortus conclusus, and through one of its main elements, the flower. In some of the poems in Ansia de la gracia (1945) and Iluminada tierra (1951), the garden and the floral imaginary serve to suggest models of female identity that transgress both the pasive image of women portrayed in male literature and the one imposed by the national identity of Franco’s Regime. In this article I develop a theoretical framework from the perspective of feminist literary criticism for the study of this rewriting and I analize some of the texts by Carmen Conde that are representative of this rewriting.
