Presentación del libroSobre ese encuentro de los cuerpos del que nunca hablamosEn indudable que elaborar un comentario sobre un libro significa, más que una colaboración, incursionar en territorio enemigo. Esto quiere decir que me alejo de mi natural área de influencia sobre una hoja de papel en blanco o del flujo de energía que una palabra puede causar al escucharla e ingreso a una jurisdicción que no es la habitual, leer y en lugar de dejar pasar la energía de las palabras, tal cual fluyen, debo establecer filtros, mecanismos de regulación e interpretar racionalmente un texto.Nunca he creído en la razón como el fundamento de la verdad en literatura. Por eso, asumo la responsabilidad de este análisis del libro de María, aclarando que mi verdad, mi análisis, mis explicaciones derivan de otras fuentes que no han pasado por las aduanas, visas y controles migratorios de la razón. Con ello, hago una declaración de principio: desconfío de los análisis racionales que se aplican a la literatura, pues, creo que el método lógico racional no es capaz de explicar lo que sucede con la creación literaria; sino que además estoy convencido que por más buenos análisis racionales que uno encuentre, poco contribuyen a entender y acercar más la poesía a la gente.Abro un paréntesis dentro de la razón, entonces, para hablar de este libro desde otra orilla. Quizá no haya en este comentario marcos teóricos a través de los cuales interpretar las palabras del libro, tampoco parámetros para la comparación; pero a cambio de ello, hay una ventana que nos pone delante de ese encuentro de los cuerpos del que nunca hablamos de frente. Los escándalos más peligrosos son los que no hacen ruido, los que usan los silencios estridentes y nos parten el alma.María Palitachi, nos rompe el alma, los huesos, los órganos vitales y los pone a chocar con otros cuerpos, nos expone al encuentro de olas que se deshacen en la palabra que no se dice, pero habla con las manos, los senos, las caderas, las bocas y las rodillas que se rozan y se trasvasan cuando, algo que va más allá del silencio, habla, grita, escandaliza nuestros ritos cotidianos.

Using concepts from urban and cultural studies, City Fictions examines the representation of the city in the works of five important late-twentieth-century Spanish American authors, Octavio Paz, Julio Cortazar, Christina Peri Rossi, Diamela Eltit, and Carlos Monsavais. While each of these authors is influenced at least partially by a specific Spanish American city, be it Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Montevideo, or Santiago, the element that brings them together is the way in which the city is fictionalized in their work: they all equate both language and the body with urban space. In these metaphors, language breaks down and the body disintegrates, creating a disturbing picture of violent decline. The poetry of Paz associates the urban surroundings with dissolving sentences and desensitized, fingertips; for Cortazar, characters walking through cities are seen as both creating and unraveling written texts;

Henri Lefebvre and the Spanish Urban Experience is the first book to thoroughly apply the French urban philosopher's thought on cities to the culture and literature of Spain. Fraser shows how Lefebvre's complex view of the city as a mobile phenomenon is relevant to understanding a variety of Spanish cultural products--from urban plans and short writing on the urban experience during the nineteenth century to urban theories, cultural practices and literary fiction of the twentieth century, pushing on to interrogate even the appearance of Mediterranean space and Barcelona in recent video games.

This book explores the connections between the processes of social structuring and sensibilities in contemporary cities. The transformations of capitalism on a global scale imply reconfigurations both in the way of planning and organizing cities, and in the ways of dwelling and feeling them. The generalization of the urban, the suburbanization of the metropolis, and classified and racializing segregation, just to mention some significant phenomena, not only introduce changes linked to the forms of consumption of the city and the land, the appropriation and privatization of collective places, the strategic revaluation of urban times / spaces, or the establishment of new centralities. They also involve changes in sensibilities, which translate into substantial transformations in the lives of people and groups that dwell in cities in the Global North and South. Based on various empirical records and methodological procedures, the chapters included in this book establish a fertile dialogue between collaborators from different geocultural contexts that locate urban experiences and sensibilities as a point of articulation to address the processes of social structuring on a global scale.

Using an interdisciplinary approach that also considers legal, literary, and religious documents of the period, Magali Carrera focuses on eighteenth-century portraiture and casta paintings to understand how the people and spaces of New Spain were conceptualized and visualized. Winner, Book Award, Association of Latin American Art, 2004 Reacting to the rising numbers of mixed-blood (Spanish-Indian-Black African) people in its New Spain colony, the eighteenth-century Bourbon government of Spain attempted to categorize and control its colonial subjects through increasing social regulation of their bodies and the spaces they inhabited. The discourse of calidad (status) and raza (lineage) on which the regulations were based also found expression in the visual culture of New Spain, particularly in the unique genre of casta paintings, which purported to portray discrete categories of mixed-blood plebeians. Using an interdisciplinary approach that also considers legal, literary, and religious documents of the period, Magali Carrera focuses on eighteenth-century portraiture and casta paintings to understand how the people and spaces of New Spain were conceptualized and visualized. She explains how these visual practices emphasized a seeming realism that constructed colonial bodies—elite and non-elite—as knowable and visible. At the same time, however, she argues that the chaotic specificity of the lives and lived conditions in eighteenth-century New Spain belied the illusion of social orderliness and totality narrated in its visual art. Ultimately, she concludes, the inherent ambiguity of the colonial body and its spaces brought chaos to all dreams of order.

Disabled Bodies in Early Modern Spanish Literature: Prostitutes, Aging Women and Saints examines the concepts and role of women in selected Spanish discourses and literary texts from the late fifteenth to seventeenth centuries from the perspective of feminist disability theories. This study explores a wide range of Spanish medical, regulatory and moral discourses, illustrating how such texts inherit, reproduce and propagate an amalgam of Western traditional concepts of female embodiment. It goes on to examine concrete representations of deviant female characters, focusing on the figures of syphilitic prostitutes and physically decayed aged women in literary texts such as Celestina, Lozana andaluza and selected works by Cervantes and Quevedo. Finally, an analysis of the personal testimony of Teresa de Avila, a nun suffering neurological disorders, complements the discussion of early modern women's disability. By expanding the meanings of contemporary theories of materiality and the social construction of disability, the book concludes that paradoxically, femininity, bodily afflictions, and mental instability characterized the new literary heroes at the very time Spain was at the apex of its imperial power. Ultimately, as this study shows, the broken female bodies of pre-industrial Spanish literature reveal the cracks in the foundational principles of power and established truths.
