Abstract

"Between Camp and Cursi examines the role of humor in portrayals of homosexuality in contemporary Mexican literature. Brandon P. Bisbey argues that humor based on camp and cursileria -- a form of bad taste that expresses a sense of social marginalization -- is used to represent key social conflicts and contradictions of modernity in Mexico. Combining perspectives from queer theory, humor theory, and Latin American cultural studies, Bisbey looks at a corpus of canonical and lesser-known texts that treat a range of topics relevant to contemporary discussions of gender, sexuality, race, and human rights in Mexico--including sex work, transvestitism, bisexuality, same-sex marriage, racism, classism, and homophobic and transphobic violence." --

Abstract

Los secretos engarces es un libro hecho de eslabones, engastados a través de los diversos temas que pueblan la obra poética y académica de José Javier Villarreal. Al hablar de Villarreal podemos utilizar la frase de Octavio Paz, que él mismo cita en este libro, "el poeta no tiene biografía; su obra es su biografía" y Los secretos engarces testimonia esta declaración de principios ya que, escrito desde la frontera entre géneros literarios, este texto es, ante todo, una celebración de la memoria.

Abstract

Polemics, Literature, and Knowledge in Eighteenth-Century Mexico is the first study to comprehensively analyse the configuration of the idea of the Republic of Letters in an eighteenth-century Latin American country.Taking a multisided approach to Mexican culture of the era, this book's analysis of literary texts engages with an exploration of such concepts as the Republic of Letters and the archive, as well as their connections to transatlantic polemics on knowledge production in the New World and debates on philosophical systems of learning. It furthermore draws upon the history of science in Mexico in order to trace the development of scientific thought and its influence on culture, religion, and fiction. This study proposes that eighteenth-century Mexican writers sought to establish a place within a global scholarly community for their local literary republic through the formation of scholarly networks, the historical exploration of the past and present, and the creation of new epistemological approaches to literary production inspired by Enlightenment ideas.This book invites those devoted to the study of eighteenth-century cultures to engage in an examination of a lesser-explored scholarly territory and its networks, and to think about how it was heterogeneously constructed by many-sided polemics and debates which manifested in a broad range of literary works.
