Against migration
This essay analyzes the Equatoguinean author Donato Ndongo’s discourse against African emigration to Europe, as presented in El Metro (2007) and ¿Qué mató al joven Abdoulaye Cissé? (2023). It explores how these two novels humanize the experience of the current migration crisis and encourage the reader to empathize with the suffering of African migrants and to reconsider the treatment they receive in Europe. They encourage Africans to stay in thei…
Yellow wattle (Acacia) - Three versions - English, Spanish, Indonesian
Ian Campbell’s trilingual poem series explores the Acacia genus, Australia’s national floral emblem, across English, Spanish, and Indonesian. Inspired by Campbell’s family history and A.J. Campbell’s 1921 Golden Wattle – Our National Floral Emblem, the series examines the cultural and ecological significance of Acacia in Australia, Latin America, and Indonesia. Each version reflects linguistic and regional nuances, showcasing how the essence of a…
Arab-Latin American Literary Perspectives on the Palestinian Exile
Latin America has been deeply involved in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with some countries taking a firm stance for one side or the other. While some countries have been vocal in their support, common threads run through the region’s perspective on the conflict: believing in the importance of a two-state solution and focusing on human rights. But beyond the political and economic support provided to the Palestinian cause, Latin American coun…
Peripheral Orientalism and the Creation of Arab Literary Precursors in Quinteto de Mogador by Alberto Ruy Sánchez
This essay explores the intentio operis in the use of transatlantic bridges that are sometimes real, other times rhetorical, and others imaginary that Alberto Ruy Sánchez draws between his country and Morocco. It also looks at the representation of Moroccan space and women, arguing that Ruy Sánchez falls into exoticizing Orientalism with tints of colonial nostalgia, particularly when portraying Moroccan women. Finally, it explores how the author …
From Interethnic Alliances to the “Magical Negro”
This essay studies Afro-Asian sociocultural interactions in cultural production by or about Asian Latin Americans, with an emphasis on Cuba and Brazil. Among the recurrent characters are the black slave, the china mulata, or the black ally who expresses sympathy or even marries the Asian character. This reflects a common history of bondage shared by black slaves, Chinese coolies, and Japanese indentured workers, as well as a common history of mar…

Coloniality is not over, it is all over
Welcome to UC Merced and thank you for giving us your time for an interview.We are going to talk today about different topics related to your theories.You have mentioned that you are not entirely comfortable with the concept of "decolonial studies."In your view, in the case of postcolonial theory, one can call it "postcolonial studies," but you prefer to use other terms, such as "The decolonial project," because it goes beyond the scholarly and a…
Las guerras floridas de Roberto Bolaño
Desde el contexto de la desmitificación de la literatura chilena en el exilio, este ensayo analiza cómo se refleja estatransición desde el activismo político a la decepción y el escepticismo melancólico en la obra del chileno RobertoBolaño. Tiene también en cuenta el papel de la repetición en la obra de Bolaño como una puesta en práctica de lasteorías que presenta Jorge Luis Borges en su cuento «Pierre Menard, autor del Quijote», de la colección …
La recuperación de la crónica y el perfil por parte de Julio Villanueva Chang, un neoconceptista del siglo XXI
Julio Villanueva Chang, uno de los autores sinoperuanos más internacionales, es también el último gran cronista de la tradición peruana. Por medio de sus crónicas y perfiles, «traduce» el mundo que lo rodea, a menudo tratando de expresar lo inefable por medio de paradojas, antítesis y contradicciones salpicadas de humor, ironía y quizá ciertaresignación mal camuflada. Sus personajes son el reflejo de las relaciones humanas en los lugares en los q…
The Death of the Author through False Translation in Mario Bellatin's Orientalised Japan
This article argues that Mario Bellatin's exploration of the potential relationship between writing, translation and physical deformity leads, perhaps unconsciously, to the continuation of exoticising stereotypes about 'Oriental' cultures. In El jardín de la señora Murakami, Shiki Nagaoka: una nariz de ficción, and Biografía ilustrada de Mishima, Bellatin resorts to Japanese characters to distance himself from his own writings, as if it were the …
El cuerpo grotesco en El Sexto, de José María Arguedas, y el personaje japonés en las fronteras del proyecto nacional
Al igual que en el resto de la obra de Arguedas, en El Sexto todo lo malvado y vil se asocia con la vida urbana y criolla de la costa, mientras que la población y los motivos andinos y quechuas de la provincia reciben una caracterización mucho más posible. Pero en esta novela, junto con el mundo afroperuano, aparece una cuarta cultura que se ve representada en la novela, añadiendo leña a una heterogeneidad ya de por sí «incómoda»: existe un perso…
One World Periphery Reads the Other
While Said focused on the perceptions and stereotypes of the Near East Oriental in England, France and the United States, most of these essays study the decentering interplay between peripheral areas of the Third World, semiperipheral areas (Spain and Portugal since the second part of the seventeenth century), and marginalized social groups of the globe (Chicanos, African Americans, and Filipino Americans). They explore, for example, how China an…
Imaging the Chinese in Cuban Literature and Culture
More than 150 years ago, the first Chinese contract laborers (“coolies”) arrived in Cuba to work the colonial plantations. Eventually, over 150,000 Chinese immigrated to the island, and their presence has had a profound effect on all aspects of Cuban cultural production, from food to books to painting. The author's interpretations often go against the grain of earlier research, refusing to conceive of Cuban identity either in terms of a bipolar b…

The Self in the Narratives of José Donoso (Chile 1924-1996)
Lesbianism and Caricature in Griselda Gambaro's Lo impenetrable
This article explores the work of novelist Griselda Gambaro as a lesbian discourse that counters the prevailing patriarchal discourse of the Latin American dictatorships. Gambaro's work is placed in the context of other Latin American "lesbian" texts that also challenge the political status quo by providing deviant models of female sexuality
