Desde muchos foros se anuncia, desde hace años, un nuevo mapa de las humanidades: la teoría literaria cedería su hegemonía a la literatura comparada, y los estudios de las literaturas nacionales o continentales quedarían como herramientas para pensar lo global. Este ensayo de Julieta Yelin desmiente muchas de las certidumbres que supone ese dibujo entusiasta: no retrocede ante los desafíos de la teoría y la filosofía, desde Jacques Derrida a Giorgio Agamben, pero no se mimetiza discursivamente con esas figuras. No se limita a una lengua o una literatura continental (en su caso la iberoamericana) sino que enseña, en el doble sentido de mostrar y de transmitir conocimiento, que al mismo tiempo que se atraviesa ese ámbito, en la segunda mitad del siglo XX, se puede leer de modo riguroso, y severamente desafiante, a Franz Kafka. ¿Al mismo tiempo? Sí, y no solo de manera derivativa. Yelin no se subordina a la oposición sencilla entre central y periférico, sino que exhibe el modo real en que se lee literatura: como una membrana de tejido irregular, pero toda ella a nuestro alcance. El lugar del lector no es aquí una limitación, sino la marca de una posición crítica singular, americana y a la vez libre y ubicua. Los mejores rasgos del comparatismo en acto

An anthology covering one hundred years of Asian American writings, including Chinese, Filipino/a, Japanese, Korean, South Asian, and Southeast Asian American writers. A century of Asian American writing has generated a forceful cascade of "bold words." This anthology covers writings by Asian Americans in all genres, from the early twentieth century to the present. Some sixty authors of Chinese, Filipino, Japanese, Korean, South Asian, and Southeast Asian American origin are represented, with an equal split between male and female writers. The collection is divided into four sections -memoir, fiction, poetry, and drama- prefaced by an introductory essay from a well-known practitioner of that genre: Meena Alexander on memoir, Gary Pak on fiction, Eileen Tabios on poetry, and Roberta Uno on drama. The selections depict the complex realities and wide range of experiences of Asians in the United States. They illuminate the writers’ creative responses to issues as diverse as resistance, aesthetics, biculturalism, sexuality, gender relations, racism, war, diaspora, and family.
