How Far is America from Here?

Resumen del Libro

Libro How Far is America from Here?

How Far is America From Here? approaches American nations and cultures from a comparative and interdisciplinary perspective. It is very much at the heart of this comparative agenda that “America” be considered as a hemispheric and global matter. It discusses American identities relationally, whether the relations under discussion operate within the borders of the United States, throughout the Americas, and/or worldwide. The various articles here gathered interrogate the very notion of “America”: which, whose America, when, why now, how? What is meant by “far”—distance, discursive formations, ideals and ideologies, foundational narratives, political conformities, aberrations, inconsistencies? Where is here—positionality, geographies, spatial compressions, hegemonic and subaltern loci, disciplinary formations, reflexes and reflexivities? These questions are addressed with regard to the multiple Americas within the USA and the bi-continental western hemisphere, as part of and beyond inter-American cultural relations, ethnicities across the national and cultural plurality of America, mutual constructions of North and South, borderlands, issues of migration and diaspora. The larger contexts of globalization and America's role within this process are also discussed, alongside issues of geographical exploration, capital expansion, integration, transculturalism, transnationalism and global flows, pre-Columbian and contemporary Native American cultures, the Atlantic slave trade, the environmental crisis, U.S. literature in relation to Canadian or Latin American literature, religious conflict both within the Americas and between the Americas and the rest of the world, with such issues as American Zionism, American exceptionalism, and the discourse of/on terror and terrorism.

Libro Renglones de otro mundo

Renglones de otro mundo congrega trece estudios sobre representaciones de los movimientos ocultistas y el diálogo con el más allá en las letras españolas. Desde el Medievo las tradiciones que postulan saberes arcanos que permiten comunicarse con los muertos y subvertir las leyes naturales irían encadenando avatares, cada vez más arrinconados en los márgenes de la sociedad y sospechosos de superstición o superchería, sin perder por ello su capacidad de fascinación. Los almanaques astrológicos, el conde Cagliostro, la magia, el espiritismo, el mesmerismo y otros conceptos ocultistas, ...
