The Borderlands of Culture
Poet, novelist, journalist, and ethnographer, Américo Paredes (1915-1999) was a pioneering figure in Mexican American border studies and a founder of Chicano studies. Paredes taught literature and anthropology at the University of Texas, Austin for decades, and his ethnographic and literary critical work laid the groundwork for subsequent scholarship on the folktales, legends, and riddles of Mexican Americans. In this beautifully written literary…
The imaginary and its worlds
The Imaginary and Its Worlds collects essays that boldly rethink the imaginary as a key concept for cultural criticism. Addressing both the emergence and the reproduction of the social, the imaginary is ideally suited to chart the consequences of the transnational turn in American studies. Leading scholars in the field from the United States and Europe address the literary, social, and political dimensions of the imaginary, providing a methodolog…
Comparing Modern Literatures Worldwide
In the 2011 issue of the MLA's Profession, David Porter notes that, following Goethe's call for a new age of Weltliteratur in the early nineteenth century, since the mid-1990s the notion of “world literature” has reemerged “as the most promising rubric for imagining a major paradigm shift in the study and teaching of literature and for thinking beyond the dead ends of traditional comparative study.”1While no consensus has been reached on what it …

Multicultural Politics, Aesthetics, and the Realist Theory of Identity
Satya Mohanty makes an eloquently compelling case for the existence of objective values in ethics, aesthetics, and progressive politics. Basing his argument on the "postpositivist" notion of "realism" that he delineates in Literary Theory and the Claims of History: Postmodernism, Objectivity, Multicultural Politics, Mohanty positions himself in opposition to what he characterizes as extreme subjectivity in the ethics, epistemology, and politics o…

Don Quijote's Metaphors and the Grammar of Proper Language
The Prologue to Miguel de Cervantes' Don Quyote is probably one of the most self-conscious and significant moments of creation in all Western literary history. Cervantes there alludes to the controlling principles which will regulate the development not only of his own magnificent text, but also of the genre of the novel itself. And apart from the Prologue, Don Quijote offers us a series of literary discussions, critical commentaries, and philolo…
