Das Ende der Welt, Weite, Wind, riesenhafte Dimensionen und kuriose Gestalten - dies sind verbreitete Topoi hinsichtlich der südlichsten Region des amerikanischen Kontinents. Gleichzeitig haben Patagonien und Feuerland Reisende wie Schriftsteller seit der europäischen ,Entdeckung' durch Ferdinand Magellan fasziniert. Die Region ist Projektionsfläche für vielfältige individuelle wie kollektive Wünsche, Fantasien und Utopien. Auf der Basis postkolonialer Literatur- und Kulturtheorien analysiert die Autorin zeitgenössische Erzähltexte aus Lateinamerika, Europa und den USA in Hinblick auf wiederkehrende Motive und Stereotype. Die Studie untersucht zudem zahlreiche intertextuelle Verflechtungen sowie die kontinuierlichen Verschiebungen zwischen ,Zentrum' und ,Peripherie'. Sichtbar wird, dass der patagonische Raum grundlegend durch die wechselseitigen, transkontinentalen Bewegungsformen zwischen Patagonien und den metropolitanen Zentren gekennzeichnet ist - Kolonisierung, Migration, Flucht, Reisen und Tourismus sind konstitutive Elemente im untersuchten Textkorpus. Den wildromantischen Imaginationen der Abenteurer steht dabei die Erinnerung an die gewaltvolle Siedlungsgeschichte gegenüber. Das Buch wurde 2009 vom Deutschen Romanistenverband mit dem Elise-Richter-Preis ausgezeichnet.

The Loss of the Wager is an eighteenth century melodrama set in a ferociously inhospitable climate on one of the world's most remote and dangerous coastlines. The Loss of the Wager is an eighteenth century melodrama set in a ferociously inhospitable climate on one of the world's most remote and dangerous coastlines. When Commodore Anson set out for the Pacific in 1740, to attackthe Spanish ships on the Chilean coast, he took eight ships with him. The Wager was effectively a transport ship, carrying stores and a force of marines; as the squadron rounded Cape Horn in fearsome weather, she was unable to keep up with the rest of them, and with her gear wrecked by the storm, was driven ashore on the Patagonian coast. The tale of mutiny, hardship and tenacity that ensued was told by two of the survivors, John Bulkeley, leader of those who repudiated the captain's authority, and John Byron, then a midshipman, who remained with the captain. Both eventually reached home by different routes, and their dramatic narratives caught the public imagination. Byronwas the grandfather of the poet, Lord Byron, who much admired the book and based the shipwreck scenes in Don Juan on 'my grand-dad's Narrative'. This voyage was the basis for Patrick O'Brian's historical work The Unknown Shore, written before he embarked on the Jack Aubrey novels.

Este libro se ocupa de los modos en que la Patagonia es imaginada por diferentes discursos artísticos que se producen en su territorio: textos literarios, testimoniales e históricos; narraciones orales; producciones visuales y audiovisuales; así como de agencias colectivas de creación, difusión e investigación. Heterogéneos, los once artículos del volumen postulan y transitan la región como un entramado discursivo donde distintos sujetos desarrollan su potencialidad de acción y enunciación respecto de su propia historia. Porque de lo que se trata, según Luciana A. Mellado, es de repensar los significados de la Patagonia desde una pluralidad temática y disciplinar que recupere la centralidad de las experiencias situadas de creación e investigación artística, en búsqueda de la descolonización epistemológica. Así, el lector encontrará en esta obra una diversidad de lecturas que se ofrece en contrapunto a las narrativas hegemónicas sobre la Patagonia desde las coordenadas de la serie experiencia, identidad y memoria. This book deals with the ways in which Patagonia is imagined by different artistic discourses that take place in its territory: literary, testimonial and historical texts; oral narrations; visual and audiovisual productions; as well as collective creation, dissemination and research agencies. Heterogeneous, the eleven articles of the volume postulate and transit the region as a discursive framework where different subjects develop their potential for action and enunciation regarding their own history. Because what is involved, according to Luciana A. Mellado, is to rethink the meanings of Patagonia from a thematic and disciplinary plurality that recovers the centrality of the situated experiences of creation and artistic research, in search of epistemological decolonization. Thus, the reader will find in this work a diversity of readings offered in counterpoint to the hegemonic narratives about Patagonia from the coordinates of the series experience,…
