Telecolaboración y corpus para el estudio de lengua y cultura

In the past decades, with the decline of the Grand Narratives and the subsequent need for new historical and political orientation, literary studies have been reflecting on the role of literature in the world. Together with Jacques Rancière—and in dialogue with Althusser, Foucault, or Fischer-Lichte—the present volume analyzes this political turn of literary studies.

The book, unique in its kind, includes a total of 28 writers representative of 13 different Latin American countries, from those who are part of the canon such as Isabel Allende, Gioconda Belli, Liliana Heker, Nancy Morejon, Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, Gertrudis Gomez de Avellaneda, Alfonsina Storni, Gabriela Mistral, and Julia de Burgos to emergent voices, such as Cecilia Bustamante, Rosina Valcarcel, and Gladys Ilarregui.

Compilación de las conversaciones del crítico peruano con escritores latinoamericanos y españoles. Este libro se propone una especie de taller literario: recorre las técnicas, hábitos y elaboraciones de cada autor en la intimidad de su obra, de su proyecto, de su arte y artesanía. Las conversaciones se realizaron entre 1970 y 1995, y dan cuenta de un cuarto de siglo de la biografía literaria en español, de su parte más innovadora y menos normativa, más exploratoria y menos canónica.
