Abstract

"Roberto Bolaño as World Literature provides an introduction to the Chilean novelist that highlights his connections with classic and contemporary masters of world literature and his investigation of topics of international interest, such as the rise of rightwing and neofascist movements during the last decades of the 20th century. But this anthology also shows how Roberto Bolaño's participation in world literature is informed in his experiences, identity, and, more generally, cultural location as a Chilean, Latin American and, more generally, Hispanic writer and man. This book provides a corrective to readings of his novels as exclusively "postmodern" or as unproblematically representative of Chilean or Latin American reality. Roberto Bolaño as World Literature thus helps readers to better understand such complex works as his monumental global five-part masterpiece 2666, his Chilean novels (Distant Star, By Night in Chile), and his Mexican narratives (Amulet, The Savage Detectives), among other works."--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Abstract

Poetry, fiction, literary history, and politics. These four cornerstone concerns of Roberto Bolaño's work have established him as a representative, generational figure in not only Chile, Mexico, and Spain, the three principal locations of his life and work, but throughout Europe and the Americas, increasingly on a global scale. At the heart of Bolaño's 'poemas-novela', his poet- and poetry-centered novels, is the history and legacy of the prose poem. Challenging the policing of boundaries between verse and prose, poetry and fiction, the literary and the non-literary, the aesthetic and the political, his prose poem novels offer a sustained literary history by other means, a pivotal intervention that restores poetry and literature to full capacity. Framing Roberto Bolaño is one of the first books to trace the full arc and development of Bolaño's work from the beginning to the end of his career.

Abstract

From his first fifteen years in Chile, to his nine years in Mexico City from 1968 to 1977, to the quarter of a century he lived and worked in the Blanes-Barcelona area on the Costa Brava in Spain through his death in 2003, Roberto Bolaño developed into an astonishingly diverse, prolific writer. He is one of the most consequential and widely read of his generation in any language. Increasingly recognized not only in Latin America, but as a major figure in World Literature, Bolaño is an essential writer for the 21st century world. This volume provides a comprehensive mapping of the pivotal contexts, events, stages, and influences shaping Bolaño's writing. As the wide-ranging investigations of this volume's 30 distinguished scholars show, Bolaño's influence and impact will shape literary cultures worldwide for years to come.

Abstract

Since the publication of The Savage Detectives in 2007, the work of Roberto Bolaño (1953–2003) has achieved critical and popular acclaim rarely enjoyed by contemporary literature in translation. Chris Andrews, a critic and scholar who has translated many of Bolaño's works into English, explores the singular achievements of the author's oeuvre and incorporates his novels and stories into the larger history of Latin American and global literary fiction. He provides new readings and interpretations of 2666, The Savage Detectives, and By Night in Chile and explores aspects of Bolaño's fictional universe and the political, ethical, and aesthetic values that shape it. In Andrews's lucid and innovative readings, Bolaño emerges as the inventor of a prodigiously effective "fiction-making system," a subtle handler of suspense, a chronicler of aimlessness, a celebrator of courage, an anatomist of evil, and a proponent of youthful openness.Since the publication of The Savage Detectives in 2007, the work of Roberto Bolaño (1953–2003) has achieved an acclaim rarely enjoyed by literature in translation. Chris Andrews, a leading translator of Bolaño's work into English, explores the singular achievements of the author's oeuvre, engaging with its distinct style and key thematic concerns, incorporating his novels and stories into the larger history of Latin American and global literary fiction.Andrews provides new readings and interpretations of Bolaño's novels, including 2666, The Savage Detectives, and By Night in Chile, while at the same time examining the ideas and narrative strategies that unify his work. He begins with a consideration of the reception of Bolaño's fiction in English translation, examining the reasons behind its popularity. Subsequent chapters explore aspects of Bolaño's fictional universe and the political, ethical, and aesthetic values that shape it. Bolaño emerges as the inventor of a prodigiously effective "fiction-making system," a subtle handler of suspense, a chronicler of aimlessness, a celebrator of courage, an anatomist of evil, and a proponent of youthful openness. Written in a clear and engaging style, Roberto Bolano's Fiction offers an invaluable understanding of one of the most important authors of the last thirty years.

Abstract

"Sea desde la lectura de los contrarios o bien desde algún relato en particular, este libro se ocupa de los cuentos de Roberto Bolaño, un engranaje fundamental en el conjunto de su obra narrativa. Diversas líneas de lectura exploran tanto las reescrituras y desplazamientos de géneros literarios como las intervenciones en los debates sobre la historia reciente o sus memorias, y los diálogos con la tradición literaria: sus mecanismos y aperturas. El común denominador es la apuesta por una lectura atenta a los modos de construcción del relato, sus pliegues, sus vacíos, sus secretos y su potencia estética"--Back cover.

Abstract

Aborda, desde la perspectiva de los estudios culturales, los temas y motivos más recurrentes en la obra de Bolaño: el mal, la violencia y los límites (geográficos, culturales, humanos, etc.), asociándolos al paradigma de la biopolítica, a los nexos entre violencia y escritura. De igual manera, se proponen nuevas formas de leer su obra, por ejemplo, mediante el estudio del humor, la autoría o lo abyecto.

Abstract

Climate – Chaos – Trump – Brexit – Terror: the apocalypse looms large in the Zeitgeist. Could and should this not provide the fulcrum for renewing the imaginative range of organization studies? In this volume, we bring together scholars who have taken Roberto Bolaño’s visionary novel 2666 as a starting point for reflections, provocations, and challenges to established imaginaries. How can we cultivate and develop our attention to the violent organization of the world without reproducing more violence? Contributors to this edited volume take on this challenge as they seek to break through the various blind spots in the discipline of management and organization studies. Bolaño’s work opens up hidden and fantastic dimensions in organization and provides alternative spaces and associations for new and bold organizational thinking. Variously disturbing, self-destructive, and abyssal, these essays reflect “that something that terrifies us all” as Bolaño wrote, “that something that cows and spurs us on”. We call this something Organization 2666. The editors Prof. Dr. Christian De Cock, Copenhagen Business School Prof. Dr. Damian P. O’Doherty, University of Manchester Assoc. Prof. Dr. Christian Huber, Copenhagen Business School Prof. Dr. Sine N. Just, Roskilde University.

Abstract

"Este libro sigue a Bolaño en su paso por México y busca recuperar las pistas que dejó entre líneas el autor de Los detectives salvajes y 2666 para reponder a cuestiones como porqué eligió México como espacio para situar la trama de sus novelas?, ¿es sólo un contexto geográfico o influye en el devenir de los argumentos y de los personajes?, ¿qué significado tienen espacios tan distintos como lo urbano, lo desértico y la frontera? En Bolaño la imagen de México se asocia con la idea del crimen, de la muerte y del mal; caracterización profundamente pesimista, casi apocalíptica, lo que le permite realizar una lectura simbólica de la novela, haciendo referencia al origen mítico de México como país remoto y exótico donde se conservan fuerzas naturales primigenias, a veces destructivas, donde se encarna el supuesto espíritu maligno azteca y donde se verifica la caída o el extravío del visitante extranjero."

Abstract

Intersecando teoría postcolonial y gender studies, este volumen se encarga de fundar un territorio imaginario llamado ‘Queeramérica’, donde la ‘naturaleza’ es estudiado montaje, las fronteras son inciertas y las identidades ambiguas. Los cuerpos diferentes y diversamente orientados que deambulan por estas páginas son, sobre todo, ‘cuerpos locales’, emblemáticos de una manera inédita de desglosar el lema de lo local y ‘llevar’ el estigma periférico: cuerpos libertariamente desconfinados sin llegar a ser rendidos al discurso de la transitividad universal. Detectando un distintivo ‘giro queer’ en los quehaceres literarios hispanoamericanos a partir de los años 90 del pasado siglo, la investigación se concentra en las borrosas ‘visiones de Latinoamérica’ que, después de los mitos y el desencanto, empiezan a salir de los talleres de tres autorías fuertes del canon chileno: Pedro Lemebel, Diamela Eltit y Roberto Bolaño, los responsables de una versión productivamente torcida del ‘viejo y embustero cuento’ de la identidad hispanoamericana, los pioneros de un inédito lugar de la cultura en el que muchos escritores del nuevo milenio echarán raíces.
