    Notes:
    Specially-commissioned essays analyze Latin American history, politics, art and literature from the nineteenth century to the present and reveal the common heritage of pre-Columbian and colonial Latin America. Although the Portuguese and Spanish-speaking states created in the early 1820s differed greatly geographically and demographically (in ethnic composition and economic resources), they also shared distinct historical and cultural traits. A chronology and guide to further reading make this volume an invaluable introduction to the rich and varied culture of modern Latin America.

    Notes:
    "George McMurray, in his 1985 article, commented upon the links between the apocalyptic ending of 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' and the epiphany of Borges' 'El Aleph.' In this study I trace the origins of this vision in the work of the Colombian writer. As a young journalist, García Márquez wrote over 800 newspaper columns, several of which demonstrate his fascination for these pinnacle moments of vision or knowledge, a momentary glimpse of all time and space, an instant where the human imagination can capture the meaning of the universe. The novelist has repeatedly pointed to his early journalism as the laboratory for his mature fiction, the site that allowed him the opportunity for literary experimentation. It is my contention that the origins of the last Buendia's epiphany can be glimpsed in several columns which represent a leitmotif in García Márquez's early writing."

    Notes:
    "In addition to Guillermo Valencia's conservative and religious political role, nowadays his is still known as the coldest and most relevant Parnassian poet of Latin American modernism. This is the main reason for the revisionist aim of this article, which deals with the modernist end of century themata (i.e., homosexuality, incest, misogyny, and the femme fatale icon, among others) in Valencia's original poetry published in Ritos. With the term poe-etica, it also stresses the influence of Edgar Allan Poe's romantic ethics and aesthetics in the artistic thought of popayanian lyric. Conceived through Roman Jakobson's model for the poetic function, this poe-etica equalizes the poet with the non-religious mystic or priest, whose mission is to bind the most extreme opposites. The Colombian poet usurps mystical language which- far from translating the mystical experience- makes every effort to communicate such coincidental oppositorum as can be represented in the sacred/profane duality. This is why the lyrical ego could become a queer priest in relation to a dead friend, in accordance with the gay reading of several images in Ritos. On the other hand, there are poems which also allow a feminist reading by reason of the patent misogyny present in the lyrical voice." García Márquez is discussed in relation to the topic.

    Notes:
    Gómez reviews of Por la libre: Obra periodística, v.4, 1974-1995, disclosing that Gabriel García Márquez focuses completely on the most important theme of that time: national and international politics during the 1970s, although the book includes work from the 80s and 90s. Most articles in Por la Libre, are dedicated to leftist political activity during these years in Colombia, Latin America, Europe, and Africa. All of Gabriel García Márquez's articles are written with his usual documentary objectivity in terms of the facts, although his comments and point of view correspond to his personal appreciation. Por la Libre can only have the validity that each of its articles, chronicles, surveys, and interiews had in the past, especially as a compilation. Few like Gabriel García Márquez could offer the mastery that has made him famous world wide, whether it is with his journalistic work or his works of fiction.

In his homage to the genealogical obsessions of such writers as Faulkner and García Márquez, Sayles explores the challenge posed by the determinism of a paternalistic past. The film stresses the paradoxical meaning of incest as reconciliation: history must be revisited precisely so that it can be rendered irrelevant to the task of re-imagining racial and regional identities in a plural America."

It lays open the anti-literary positions that the poet announces in different texts and tries to sketch a conciliation of these positions with the love of books that Neruda not only declared but also exercised in his zeal as collector and in his readings. At the same time some of his ideas about poetry and the obligations of the poet are examined." Briefly names García Márquez in a list of poets and writers.

    Notes:
    "This study focuses on how a dictator or a culturally dominant power can use language to impose cultural values. As an instrument of power, language is used by dictator to educate, induce, or manipulate a nation's citizens into acting in accordance with the ruling power's cultural values and beliefs. Jorge Zalamea in 'El Gran Burundún-Burundá ha muerto'(1951), Gabriel García Márquez in 'El otoño del patriarca' (1975), and Mario Vargas Llosa in 'La fiesta del Chivo' (2000), draw attention to how the use of vernacular can resist cultural imposition by employing culture-specific items in order to represent its own culture and nature of reality. When translated into a different language, culture-specific items created a conflict of meaning between the original text and the translated text. This discord arises because the translated reference no longer conveys its original message. The original significance has been substituted in the translated text for a new meaning determined by the dictator or translators ideology, usage, or the untranslable nature of the original words. These culturally loaded words are categorized into three areas of language defines relationships of power and resistance between a dictator and his nation, or between one culture and another, such as the United States over Latin American Culture. The analysis of culture-specific items presented in this dissertation will provide an understanding of how language functions as an instrument for the imposition to gain or maintain power in 'El Gran Burundú-Burundá ha muerto', 'El otoño del patriarca', and 'La fiesta del Chivo.' Culture-specific items also suggest how translators may substitute the values of the source culture in the original text for their own cultural biases when translating from Spanish to English."

    "This study focuses on how a dictator or a culturally dominant power can use language to impose cultural values. As an instrument of power, language is used by a dictator to educate, induce, or manipulate a nation's citizens into acting in accordance with the ruling power's cultural values and beliefs. Jorge Zalamea in El Gran Burundún-Burundá ha muerto (1951), Gabriel García Márquez in El otoño del patriarca (1975), and Mario Vargas Llosa in La fiesta del Chivo (2000) draw attention to how the use of vernacular can resist cultural imposition by employing culture-specific terms in order to represent its own culture and nature of reality."

    Notes:
    "There are several ways of utilizing the plurality of narrative instances in a novel; the 'stereoscopic view,' which presents an object through the lens of several perceptions, is one of these ways. This is the case of 'Des feuilles dans la bourrasque (La Hojarasca), Gabriel García Marquez's first novel, which will be the center of our reflection on multiple narratives. We will study the structure of the novel through the notion of 'parallx' which implies the fragmentation of the object by the marginalization of each one its points of view. However, it is by revealing the 'stereoscopic' character of the novel with multiple narratives that the apparent lack of cohesion of the text will be qualified. The study will conclude with the following question: Does the structure of a novel with multiple narratives raise an ethical concern? 'Ecluses' is a story in five tempos, composed of five chronologically isolated short stories, which are interconnected by a context of common events and characters. The narrative of each of these short stories is supported by a distinct character. Nevertheless, it is the sum of the characters' perceptions, due to the active participation of the reader who has the role of making the different points of view converse, that the story to takes shape and goes forward."

    Notes:
    "The Spanish-American historical novels of the late twentieth century have shown a marked tendency to feature as their main characters many of the greatest historical figures of the region. Even though there have been a growing number of worthy literary studies about the historical figures portrayed in these novels, they have generally centered on a given historical character in one or more historical novels. There is a need for a comprehensive approach to the study of the great historical characters that are profiled in the New and Traditional Spanish-American Historical Novel. This dissertation is devoted to the literary analysis and conceptualization of the great historical characters that appear in contemporary Spanish-American historical novels. The study aims to formulate a comprehensive literary theory that seeks to explain the presence of great historical figures in the Contemporary Spanish-American Historical Novel. This dissertation is multidisciplinary in nature, involving research in literature historiography, monumental sculpture and iconography. The central thesis of this dissertation is that there are a significant number of great historical figures that are 'de-monumentalized' or debunked as cult figures in the historical novels of the region. The first chapter if the dissertation demonstrates the central thesis by profiling and discussing in depth a wide range of new and traditional historical novels that de-monumentalize their heroic characters. Chapter I formulates the theory of 'De-monumentalization in the Spanish-American Historical Novel.' The Chapter addresses the fundamental question of what does it mean to de-monumetalize a historical cult figure, and which ones can be de-monumentalized in a contemporary historical novel. Chapter I advances three distinct modes of De-monumentalization. Three outstanding historical novels and their main characters represent these modes. Chapter II of the dissertation illustrates how Simón Bolívar is de-monumentalized in 'El general en su laberinto' (1989) by Gabriel García Márquez. Chapter III analyzes the de-monumentalization of Benito Juárez in Fernando del Paso's 'Noticias del Imperio' (1987. Chapter IV examines how Cuba's pantheon of heroes (José Martí, Antonio Maces, ect.) is de-monumentalized in Guillermo Cabrera Infante's 'Vista del amanecer en el trópico' (1974). Chapter V presents the conclusions that were reached in this doctoral project.

    "This is a balanced, carefully researched, and sensitively written look at Fidel Castro and his legacy in Cuba. It shows the warts on thelegacy--- the economic problems, the reluctance to adjust to a changed world-- but it also notes that Castro has brought about an egalitarian society and that he has been true to his revolutionary principles. I have been involved in the Cuban drama since I first arrived in Havana in 1958 as Third Secretary of the old American Embassy. Yet even I learned much from this book. I highly recommend it." -- Wayne S, Smith, the former Chief of the US Interests section in Havana (1979-1982), is now an Adjunct Professor at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and a Senior Associate of the Center for International Policy in Washington, DC.

    The authors have traced magazines, archives, newspapers, and have interviewed people who met Gabriel García Márquez. Gabriel García Márquez, obsessed with power, leaders, and the highest diplomatic mediation, saw in the Cuban patriarch the model for which Latin America could some day construct a proper socialism. This book comes from a double fascination: Cuba and literature, where the lives of Fidel Castro and Gabriel García Márquez are told with their grandeur and misery.

    Esto es parte de una serie de la Colección Lea nombrado "Guías básicas de lectura." "Con la publicación de 'Cien años de soledad,' Gabriel García Márquez se convirtió, en los años 70, en punta de lanza del boom latinoamericano. Empresa en la que lo acompañaron Mario Vargas Llosa, Julio Cortázar, Carlos Fuentes, Guillermo Cabrera Infante y José Donoso. En cambio, es de su exclusiva incumbencia la consolidación de un género etiquetado rápidamente por la crítica como 'Realismo mágico'. La historia de los Buendía y su mitológico pueblo Macondo borró definitivamente las fronteras entre lo verosimil y lo inaudito. Pero, muy a pesar de las ríos de tinta que se desplegaron en los años siguientes sobre el flamante género, García Márquez no se cansó de contar a quien quisiera escucharlo que tanto en su obra cumbre 'Cien años de soledad', como en cada uno de sus otras creaciones no había 'una linea que no esté basada en realidad'. Esta guia básica de lectura intenta aproximarnos a la vida y la obra de uno de los más grandes escritores contemporáneos."

    Originally published: New York: Alfred A. Knopf, c2003. |"In this long awaited first volume of a planned trilogy, the most acclaimed and revered living Nobel laureate begins to tell us the story of his life... It spans Gabriel García Márquez's life from his birth in 1927 through the start of his career as a writer to the moment in the 1950s when he proposed to the woman who would become his wife. It has the shape, the quality, and the vividness of a conversation with the reader a tale of family members, the great influence of his mother and maternal grandfather, his consuming career in journalism, and the friends and mentors who encouraged him, the myths and mysteries of his beloved Colombia, personal details, undisclosed until now that would appear later, transmuted and transposed, in his fiction, and above all, his fervent desire to become a writer. And, as in his fiction, the narrator here is an inspired observer of the physical world, able to make clear the emotions and passions that lie at the heart of a life in this instance, his own. This is a memoir that gives us the formation of Gabriel García Márquez as a writer and as a man." --Dust Jacket

    Notes:
    "This dissertation takes a chronosophical approach to literary study, addressing the changing ways thinkers have chosen to articulate the nature of time, and examining in particular literary works which take on time as a theme. Chronosophy is not science; it does not belong to the arts; it is not religion. Ideas of time belong nowhere but infuse everything. In order even to say this, we must speak in time, as one word necessarily comes before another, reinforcing through language an idea of temporal linearity in which Einstein proclaimed to be an illusion, albeit our most persistent one. The achievement of a remove from which one might find understanding, and Archimedian view from nowhere, has been one of the greatest projects in the history of knowledge. This dissertation discusses literary attempts to find a view from nowhen. In tracing attempts to articulate and represent time, and how those efforts have informed shifting perceptions of time found in literary works, chapter one discusses patterns of chronosophical inquiry from ancient times to Dante, focusing in particular on those ides of time which survive today. Dante Alighieri mathematically encoded a discussion of temporal contingency and ineffability into the numeric structure of his Divine Comedy. Chapter two discusses his use of Pythagorean theories in his attempts as a finite mortal bound to temporal succession to articulate a literary representation of eternity. Chapter three discusses the impact of Einstein's Relativity theory under which simultaneity in time can no longer exist, during period of invention when paradoxically a new sense of simultaneity became prominent feature of popular culture, and time was increasingly described not as a property of the world, but a property of the perceivers of the world. This chapter traces Futurist reactions to changing ideas of temporality and the variations and manipulations of time in James Joyce's 'Ulysses'. Chapter four discusses Jorge Luis Borges' idea of temporality as an arrangement of sympathies and differences, and examines temporality in the magic realist movement as represented by Gabriel García Márquez in 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' where a temporality dependant upon individual perspective becomes lonely prospect."

    Notes:
    “There have been various interpretations of the work of García Márquez. However, no detailed study has been made of the huge significance of temporality to his art. This thesis argues that García Márquez’ novels are complex considerations of humankind’s relation to time, and that time is an inherent and constitutive property of the art and meaning of his texts. To demonstrate the validity of this proposition this thesis examines structure, strategy and thematic concern and their interrelation in relation to temporality. It is, thus, divided into five sections: a brief introductory contextualization of recent critical debate concerning the relationship between temporality and narrative; an analysis of the temporal structure of García Márquez’ most important novels and how this relates to the overall meaning of his specific consideration of the temporal narrative strategies that García Márquez adopts and why these are significant to an understanding of his work; an evaluation of temporal themes in García Márquez and their centrality to his work; and a concluding section which examines the interrelation between structure, strategy and theme to demonstrate the crucial importance of temporality to a comprehensive understanding of the fiction of García Márquez.”

    Notes:
    "A thematic analysis of three major collections of short fiction by René Marqués, as well as a comparative analysis of the fiction of selected works by Marqués and texts by four major writers, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gabriel García Márquez, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Margaret Mitchell. This study demonstrates the ways in which the literature of Puerto Rico shares a literary tradition with both the United States and Latin America. Topics include a discussion of how the three short story collections and two novels function as a whole, citing important unifying themes such as Man's isolation, power and (Foucault's definition of) resistance, and the emergence of perspectivism, as well as how selected texts by Marqués relate to themes in major works of American and Latin American literature, such as the supernatural in Hawthorne's 'Young Goodman Brown' love and war in Mitchell's 'Gone with the Wind' The Ice identity in F. Scott Fitzgerald's 'The Ice Palace' and setting and magic in García Márquez' novels, especially 'One Hundred Years of Solitude.' 'The New Puerto Rican-American Literature in Spanish, Volume 1 also questions why the literature of Puerto Rico, and in this case specifically the fiction of René Marqués, is extremely difficult to access outside the island. Only a few major research universities possess even a partial collection, making teaching, research and scholarship highly challenging. Included is a detailed account of the four-year long research process which finally yielded all materials. In conjunction with limited availability, the study offers additional reasons why there has not been an abundance of scholarship produced by and for the English-speaking academic community . One proposed explanation is that there is a pronounced fear of accepting Spanish as a major language of the United States. The study concludes that literature written in Spanish, in the continental United States and Puerto Rico, should be included in the curriculum of both English and Spanish departments as Puerto Rican-American literature."
