DOWNLOAD EBOOKAn urgent call to think on the edges, surfaces, and turns of the literary artifact when it crosses cultural boundaries In the absence of specialized programs of study, abstract discussions of China in Latin America took shape in contingent critical infrastructures built at the crossroads of the literary market, cultural diplomacy, and commerce. As Rosario Hubert reveals, modernism flourishes comparatively, in contexts where cultural criticism is a creative and cosmopolitan practice. Disoriented Disciplines: China, Latin America, and the Shape of World Literature understands translation as a material act of transfer, decentering the authority of the text and connecting seemingly untranslatable cultural traditions. In this book, chinoiserie, “coolie” testimonies, Maoist prints, visual poetry, and Cold War memoirs compose a massive archive of primary sources that cannot be read or deciphered with the conventional tools of literary criticism. As Hubert demonstrates, even canonical Latin American authors, including Jorge Luis Borges, Octavio Paz, and Haroldo de Campos, write about China from the edges of philology, mediating the concrete as well as the sensorial. Advocating for indiscipline as a core method of comparative literary studies, Disoriented Disciplines challenges us to interrogate the traditional contours of the archives and approaches that define the geopolitics of knowledge.
Architecture and Identity

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book brings together complex fields of knowledge and globally splintered discourses on a subject that is experienced not only by scholars, but in the everyday lives of people around the world. There is a common complaint about the loss of identity which, to a substantial degree, is being associated with the built environment in cities and specifically with their architecture. "Architecture and Identity" takes a global, multidisciplinary look on how identities in contemporary architecture are constructed. The general hypothesis underlying this book is that in a globalized world identity in architecture cannot be easily derived from distinct indigenous patterns. The book presents forty contributions from various disciplines aiming to destroy the myth of an inheritable or otherwise prefabricated identity. Some authors dismantle constructs of identity that have long been considered as "solid" and unbreakable while others meticulously unravel the "construction" process of identities in

DOWNLOAD EBOOKLatin American Documentary Filmmaking is the first volume written in English to explore Latin American documentary filmmaking with extensive and intelligent analysis. David William Foster, the leading authority on Latin American urban cultural production, provides rich, new interpretations on the production of gender, political persecution, historical conflicts, and exclusion from the mainstream in many of Latin America’s most important documentary films. Foster provides a series of detailed examinations of major texts of Latin American filmmaking, discussing their textual production and processes of meaning. His analysis delves deeply into the world of Latin American film and brings forth a discourse of structure that has previously been absent from the fields of filmmaking and Latin American studies. This volume provides perspective on diverse and methodological approaches, pulling from a wide scope of cinematic traditions. Using his own critical readings and research, Foster presents his findings in terms that are accessible to non-Spanish speakers and Latin American film enthusiasts. A much-needed contribution to the field of Latin American documentary film, Foster’s research and perspective will be a valuable source for those interested in film studies, gender studies, and culture.
Women Build the Welfare State

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn this pathbreaking history, Donna J. Guy shows how feminists, social workers, and female philanthropists contributed to the emergence of the Argentine welfare state through their advocacy of child welfare and family-law reform. From the creation of the government-subsidized Society of Beneficence in 1823, women were at the forefront of the child-focused philanthropic and municipal groups that proliferated first to address the impact of urbanization, European immigration, and high infant mortality rates, and later to meet the needs of wayward, abandoned, and delinquent children. Women staffed child-centered organizations that received subsidies from all levels of government. Their interest in children also led them into the battle for female suffrage and the campaign to promote the legal adoption of children. When Juan Perón expanded the welfare system during his presidency (1946–1955), he reorganized private charitable organizations that had, until then, often been led by elite and immigrant women. Drawing on extensive research in Argentine archives, Guy reveals significant continuities in Argentine history, including the rise of a liberal state that subsidized all kinds of women’s and religious groups. State and private welfare efforts became more organized in the 1930s and reached a pinnacle under Juan Perón, when men took over the welfare state and philanthropic and feminist women’s influence on child-welfare activities and policy declined. Comparing the rise of Argentina’s welfare state with the development of others around the world, Guy considers both why women’s child-welfare initiatives have not received more attention in historical accounts and whether the welfare state emerges from the top down or from the bottom up.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBILINGUAL ENGLISH/SPANISH EDITION This charming, gift-worthy 6 x 6-inch paperback presents a wide selection of beautifully tinted photographic postcards of and by Argentine cowboys, or gauchos, in the early 1900s. Often reproduced with stamps, postmarks and handwriting perfectly preserved, these fascinating relics depict life on the Argentine prairie with documentary candor as well as romantic aplomb. Here we find many photographs of the gauchos with their horses, at their ranches, playing their guitars and courting their wives. Cows are quartered, houses are raised, rivers forged and duels fought. Collected by Carlos Masotta, the Buenos Aires anthropologist, documentarian and image-identity expert. Hacia el 1900, en una sociedad en febril proceso de modernización y caracterizada por un cosmopolita auge inmigratorio, hace su aparición un fenómeno cultural mencionado comúnmente como 'criollismo'. Entre las últimas décadas del s. XIX y primeras del s. XX se divulgó un gusto por lo gauchesco que pudo reunir nuevamente a diferentes sectores socioeconómicos, pero ahora en clave de representación y consumo de la imagen de un mundo pasado. Paradoja o curiosidad; la figura del gaucho ha sido elogiada y elevada como símbolo de la nacionalidad en el preciso momento en que aquél dejaba de existir. El conjunto de postales recrean el mundo del gaucho como un código estructurado en escenas: el trabajo con hacienda (el arreo, la yerra o marcación de ganado, la carneada); el transporte en carretas; el ocio (juegos de taba, carrera de caballos, bailes); el asado, el duelo a cuchillo y la relación amorosa son los temas habituales, muchos de ellos rescatados de la pintura de fines del siglo XIX.
