Jorge Volpi (México, D. F., 1968) estudió Derecho y Letras en la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Doctor en Filología Hispánica por la Universidad de Salamanca, es autor de seis novelas A pesar del oscuro silencio (1992), Días de ira (1994), La paz de los sepulcros (1995), El temperamento melancólico (1995), Sanar tu piel amarga (1997), En busca de Klingsor (1999) y El fin de la locura , de volúmenes de cuentos y de los ensayos La imaginación y el poder.Una historia intelectual de 1968 (1998) y La guerra y las palabras.Una historia intelectual de 1994 (2004). En 1994 formó el grupo del Crack al lado de otros novelistas jóvenes, que, deseosos de enlazar con los escritores del boom hispanoamericano, reivindicaron un tipo de novela ambiciosa y de estructura compleja, a la vez alejada del neorrealismo norteamericano y de los imitadores del realismo mágico. Saltó a la notoriedad internacional con En busca de Klingsor, novela galardonada con el renacido y antaño mítico Premio Biblioteca Breve en su primera reedición de 1999 y que ha sido traducida a diecinueve lenguas. La obra explora una época crucial de la historia y política de Alemania, la ciencia y el mal, el amor y el odio, la física cuántica y los años en que los científicos alemanes tratan de construir, como último recurso para cambiar el rumbo inevitable de la II Guerra Mundial, la bomba atómica.

El libro más íntimo de Jorge Volpi, autor de En busca de Klingsor, Memorial del engaño y Las elegidas. Una memoria de su padre, al mismo tiempo que una autopsia de México. El autor ha sido galardonado con el Premio Alfaguara, el Premio Biblioteca Breve y el Premio Planeta, y nombrado Caballero de las Artes y Letras. "Mi padre murió el 2 de agosto de 2014. Él nos había contado que, cuando murió su madre, guardó un año de luto en el que jamás dejó de usar una corbata negra. Yo decidí volver mi luto literario y dediqué el 2015 a un libro que me permitiese recordarlo. A lo largo de diez meses escribí diez ensayos: atendiendo a su condición de cirujano, al inicio solo sabía que cada uno de ellos debería hacer referencia a una parte del cuerpo, así como a sus metáforas culturales y políticas. El libro más íntimo que he escrito se convirtió también en un examen público: una autopsia de nuestro país, con especial énfasis en la guerra contra el narcotráfico, la desaparición de los normalistas de Ayotzinapa, el incendio de la guardería ABC o los problemas derivados de la migración, y con la presencia de algunas figuras emblemáticas de estos años de plomo, en un espectro que se tiende de Marcial Maciel a Mamá Rosa. Estas páginas aspiran a ser una memoria de mi padre y de mi relación con él, una divagación en torno al cuerpo y a nuestro degradado cuerpo social y, en última instancia, un réquiem por este país mío, suyo, nuestro, atestado de fantasmas y cadáveres." ENGLISH DESCRIPTION My Father's Examination gathers reflections about the life and death of the author's father: autobiographical passages; the country's sociopolitical situation, with special emphasis on the violence it is currently enduring; cultural reflections and references; and elements of physiology and anatomy of the human body that serve in each case as a unifying thread that ties together the rest of the stories. "The following pages aim at becoming an examination of my father: a dissection of his successes and failures, his teachings and weaknesses, his beliefs and enmities. It is also an anatomy of myself, and above all, an examination of my homeland, this aching Mexico at the dying moments of the 20th century and beginning of the 21st century. An autopsy of this nation of ghosts and cadavers."

This book provides a rich and cutting-edge analysis of one of the most prominent literary groups in Latin America: the Mexican Crack Writers. The first part explores the history of the group and its relation to the Latin American literary tradition, while the second part is devoted to the critical analysis of the works of each of the authors: Ricardo Chávez Castañeda, Ignacio Padilla, Pedro Ángel Palou, Eloy Urroz and Jorge Volpi. The volume is further enriched by the inclusion, in the appendix, of the two manifestos of the group: the Crack Manifesto and the Crack Postmanifesto (1996-2016). It will be of great interest to students and scholars focusing on contemporary Latin American literature.

Addressing the question of why many Latin American fiction authors are writing about Nazism, the Second World War and the Holocaust now, this book charts the evolution of Latin American literary production from the 19th Century, through the late 20th century 'Boom', to the present day. Containing texts from Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina and Chile, it analyses work by some of the most well-known contemporary writers including Roberto Bolaño, Juan Gabriel Vásquez, Jorge Volpi, Lucía Puenzo, Patricio Pron and Michel Laub; as well as notable precursors such as Jorge Luis Borges, Carlos Fuentes and Ricardo Piglia. Nazism, the Second World War and the Holocaust in Contemporary Latin American Fiction argues that these authors find Nazism relevant to thinking through some of the most urgent contemporary challenges we face: from racism, to the unequal division of wealth and labour between the Global 'North' and 'South'; and, of course, the general failure of democracy to eliminate fascism.

La obra presenta como principal objetivo investigar y valorar los sentidos de la historia y la epistemología en la Trilogía del siglo XX, del escritor mexicano Jorge Volpi (1968-), obra compuesta por las novelas En busca de Klingsor (1999), No será la tierra (2003) y El fin de la locura (2006). Para ello el estudio rastrea el boom, sus orígenes, influencia y mediación en la literatura hispanoamericana actual y, tras ello, se toma en consideración el paréntesis entre lo que muchos llamaron posboom y la modernidad-posmodernidad, de esta forma el análisis literario pone rumbo de manera más concreta al panorama actual de la literatura en México. A continuación se lleva cabo una sinopsis y valoración del sentido de las obras que componen la trilogía. Siendo así que se recoge cómo esencialmente En busca de Klingsor indaga sobre la responsabilidad moral de los científicos durante y después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, El fin de la locura, se concentra más en la actitud de los intelectuales en Francia e Hispanoamérica durante las décadas de los sesenta y setenta del pasado siglo y No será la tierra culmina el intento por entender la condición de novela como una tentativa extraordinaria en la que el escritor extrema la circunstancia de la misma como campo de exploración y experimentación. Este estudio de la trilogía pretende mostrar que las obras analizadas son espacios discursivos, pero también un terreno de cognición que hace plantearnos cuestiones esenciales, que creemos nuevas pero que siempre estuvieron ahí. Tras ofrecer el compendio de los apartados esenciales, las conclusiones extrapolan el sentido del estudio atendiendo al contexto de la Trilogía del siglo XX. Muestran así ciertos aspectos quiméricos y evanescentes de la posmodernidad que demuestran cómo esta está marcada por aspectos como la hibridez social y cultural, por formas fragmentarias, pero de igual modo por configuraciones abstractas, engreídas y fatuas, a la vez que epigónicas y apocalípticas. Es así cómo se pretende dilucidar parte del misterio de la troika historia-ficción-verdad en la trilogía. Tras varias instancias se precisa que existe una complementariedad e inextricabilidad, pues en la trilogía volpiana prevalece una apuesta cervantina por la verdad a través de la quimera.José Carlos Redondo Olmedilla es profesor en la Universidad de Almería, doctor en Filología Anglogermánica y doctor en Arte y Humanidades (Literatura Hispanoamericana). En la actualidad es el investigador principal del grupo de investigación del grupo de investigación Lengua Inglesa: Lingüística Aplicada y Estudios Literarios (HUM859). Como investigador su producción se ha centrado en estudios comparativos, filológicos y culturales y ha colaborado en revistas anglófonas e hispánicas de ámbito internacional. Sus últimos estudios analizan las tendencias creativas en nuevas literaturas en el ámbito hispano y anglosajón. Está especializado en el análisis de flujos culturales y su relación con las literaturas postcoloniales y decoloniales recientes así como en las nuevas poéticas transnacionales.

Science Fusion draws on new materialist theory to analyze the relationship between science and literature in contemporary works of fiction, poetry, and theater from Mexico. In this deft new study, Brian Chandler examines how a range of contemporary Mexican writers “fuse” science and literature in their work to rethink what it means to be human in an age of climate change, mass extinctions, interpersonal violence, femicide, and social injustice. The authors under consideration here—including Alberto Blanco, Jorge Volpi, Ignacio Padilla, Sabina Berman, Maricela Guerrero, and Elisa Díaz Castelo—challenge traditional divisions that separate human from nonhuman, subject from object, culture from nature. Using science and literature to engage topics in biopolitics, historiography, metaphysics, ethics, and ecological crisis in the age of the Anthropocene, works of science fusion offer fresh perspectives to address present-day sociocultural and environmental issues.

The focus of this book is two-fold. First it traces the expansive geographical spread of the language commonly referred to as Spanish. This has given rise to multiple hybrid formations over time emerging in the clash of multiple cultures, languages and religions within and between great empires (Roman, Islamic, Hispano-Catholic), each with expansionist policies leading to wars, huge territorial gains and population movements. This long history makes Hispanophone culture itself a supranational, trans-imperial one long before we witness its various national cultures being refashioned as a result of the transnational processes associated with globalization today. Indeed, the Spanish language we recognise today was ‘transnational’ long before it was ever the foundation of a single nation state. Secondly, it approaches the more recent post-national, translingual and inter-subjective ‘border-crossings’ that characterise the global world today with an eye to their unfolding within this long trans-imperial history of the Hispanophone world. In doing so, it maps out some of the contemporary post-colonial, decolonial and trans-Atlantic inflections of this trans-imperial history as manifest in literature, cinema, music and digital cultures.

This book examines the central significance of sexualized female corpses in modern and contemporary Hispanic and Anglophone crime fiction. Beginning with the foundational detective fictions of the nineteenth century, it draws from diverse subgenres to describe a transatlantic tradition of necropornography characterized by lascivious interest in female cadavers, dissection, morgues, femicide, and snuff movies. Hard-boiled and police procedural classics from the U.S. and the U.K. are juxtaposed with texts by established Spanish and Spanish American genre masters and with obscure works that prefigure the contemporary transmedial boom in corpse-centered fictions. The rhetoric and aesthetics of necropornographic crime fiction are related to those of popular crime journalism and forensic-science television dramas. This study argues that crime fiction has long fixated disproportionately on the corpses of beautiful young white women and continues to treat their deaths and autopsies as occasions for male visual pleasure, male subjective self-affirmation and male homosocial bonding.

From the perspective of Latin American Studies, this volume offers a critical contribution to the current debate on world literature. It is structured around three conceptual blocks: "gatekeepers", as the dispositives and actors mediating the international circulation of literature; "translation", as an unavoidable but always problematic mechanism; and "local literatures", as modes of writing that remain intrinsically tied to their contexts.

The debate over the concept of world literature, which has been taking place with renewed intensity over the last twenty years, is tightly bound up with the issues of global interconnectedness in a polycentric world. Most recently, critiques of globalization-related conceptualizations, in particular, have made themselves heard: to what extent is the concept of world literature too closely connected with the political and economic dynamics of globalization? Such questions cannot be answered simply through theoretical debate. The material side of the production of world literature must therefore be more strongly integrated into the conversation than it has been. Using the example of Latin American literatures, this volume demonstrates the concrete construction processes of world literature. To that purpose, archival materials have been analyzed here: notes, travel reports, and correspondence between publishers and authors. The Latin American examples provide particularly rich information about the processes of institutionalization in the Western world, as well as new perspectives for a contemporary mapping of world literature beyond the established dynamics of canonization.
