Heterotrop??s: Narrativas de Identidad Y Alteridad Latinoamericana

$50.56
 

Hay un riesgo en la relaci?n entre cr?tica y producci?n textual ya que puede ser inevitablemente metaf?rica. Esta relaci?n est? cargada de peligros tanto pol?ticos como te?ricos. Este volumen asume ese riesgo sabiendo del car?cter ineludible de la met?fora cultural como herramienta cr?tica y como materia misma de las narrativas de identidad.

Los art?culos de este volumen estudian diversos tropos culturales que hemos llamado heterotrop?as - centrales en la construcci?n y redefinici?n de identidades y alteridades de Am?rica Latina. Las heterotrop?as nos hablan de nosotros y de los Otros, y principalmente del espacio vertiginoso e inestable en el que se dan las pr?cticas de significaci?n cultural.

Las 6 secciones de este volumen abordan respectivamente los siguientes problemas relativos: la constituci?n de tropos imperiales en relaci?n con la invenci?n de un "Nuevo Mundo" y las fantas?as poscoloniales que buscan conjurar los traumas de la colonialidad; los conflictos en torno a la representaci?n hegem?nica y no hegem?nica de las insurgencias que traman y tensan el tejido social latinoamericano; las narrativas donde la disoluci?n de los tropos de la modernidad neocolonial, occidentalista, androc?ntrica, y racionalista latinoamericana sirve para pensar las limitaciones de la conciencia letrada que hist?ricamente fuera int?rprete privilegiada del discurrir sociocultural; los relatos en los que se examina la constituci?n disciplinaria de "cuerpos d?ciles" (Foucault), y la manera en los que ?stos resisten y potencian las posibilidades pol?tico-po?ticas del cuerpo; las narrativas que exploran afirmaciones identitarias en torno a la lengua y la raza como modos de cancelar la marca (racial, ling??stica, cultural, econ?mica) asignada al sujeto americano; y la condici?n y crisis "posmoderna" de las (macro) identidades en el marco de los procesos de globalizaci?n y desterritorializaci?n, y la consiguiente reconfiguraci?n de narrativas no esencialistas que recuperan la viabilidad pol?tica de algunas met?foras.

There is an inherent risk in the relationship between criticism and textual production since it can be inevitably metaphorical. This relationship is fraught with both political and theoretical dangers. This volume assumes this risk knowing the inescapable nature of the cultural metaphor as a critical tool and as the very essence of identity narratives.

The articles in this volume study various cultural tropes that we have called heterotropies - central to the construction and redefinition of identities and otherness in Latin America. Heterotropies speak to us about ourselves and about the other, and mainly about the vertiginous and unstable space in which practices of cultural significance take place.

The 6 sections of this volume respectively address the following relative problems: the constitution of imperial tropes in relation to the invention of a "New World" and postcolonial fantasies that seek to ward off the traumas of coloniality; the conflicts around the hegemonic and non-hegemonic representation of the insurgencies that plot and strain the Latin American social fabric; the narratives where the dissolution of the tropes of neocolonial, westernist, androcentric, and rationalist Latin American modernity serves to think about the limitations of the literate conscience that historically was a privileged interpreter of sociocultural development; the stories in which the disciplinary constitution of 'docile bodies' (Foucault) is examined, and the way in which they resist and enhance the political-poetic possibilities of the body; the narratives that explore identity statements around language and race as ways to cancel the mark (racial, linguistic, cultural, economic) assigned to the American subject; and the 'postmodern' condition and crisis of (macro) identities within the framework of globalization and deterritorialization processes, and the consequent reconfiguration of non-essentialist narratives that recover the political viability of some metaphors.
