Violeta Parra
This article explores Violeta Parra’s artistic output through the perspective of hybrid space, a third space, which she herself inhabited. It concentrates on her ethnomusicological research, which resulted in her Cantos folklóricos chilenos , as well as her authorial songs. It also reinforces Parra as the originator of the Nueva Canción Chilena [New Chilean Song]. She preserved and reproduced cultural traditions that were in decline in twentieth-…

Alberto Blest Gana
Blest Gana at 100 is a special edition for Open Cultural Studies . Alberto Blest Gana was a Chilean writer who wore many hats during his long life, dying in 1920 at the age of 90. One of the most prominent authors of nineteenth-century Chile and Latin America, he went to military school and later held political and diplomatic appointments, all of which caused him to travel and live abroad. In fact, nel mezzo del cammin of his life, Blest Gana tra…
Alberto Blest Gana and the Sensory Appeal of Wealth
This essay explores sensory stimuli in La aritmética en el amor [Arithmetic in Love/Economics of Love] (1860) as they relate to the consumer preferences (for clothing, furniture, jewellery) and purchasing practices of nineteenth-century Santiago, Chile. The novel presents detailed descriptions, for example, of fine fabrics, emphasising the sounds that the wearers of such fabric reproduce as they move about. Wealthy or not, people feel the pressur…
Cervantes, Lizardi, and the Literary Construction of The Mexican Rogue in Don Catrín de la fachenda
This study explores the socio-economic legacies and critique of nation-building found in the work of Jose Joaquin Fernandez de Lizardi (1776-1827). In the nineteenth century, the Latin American elite struggled to disassociate itself from a suffocating colonial machine; they sought their own identity, and writing became a way to express their frustration. As in other parts of Latin America, Mexican intellectuals protested fossilisation via Cervant…
Chivalry, Materialism, and the Grotesque in Don Quijote and Alberto Blest Gana’s El ideal de un calavera
This study analyses chivalry, materialism, and the grotesque in Alberto Blest Gana’s El ideal de un calavera [The Ideal of a Rogue] (1863) under the light of Miguel de Cervantes’s Don Quijote’s part II (1615). It underscores the legacy of Cervantes on the Chilean author especially in his reflections on nation building. Unlike its author, Don Quijote eluded restriction and successfully reached the colonies; once there, author and text became a mas…
Andrés Wood's Machuca and Violeta Went to Heaven
A suppressed collective memory of the 1960s and early 1970s is now emergent among all Chileans, at home and abroad, including those who once wished to forget or to deny the violence, division, and injustice of the Chilean dictatorship. The treatment of class conflict and social division in two films directed by Andrés Wood- Machuca and Violeta Went to Heaven-has contributed to this awakening, pointing out that cultural experiences and economic de…
Monumental Italians
‘Thus, one should not let this opportunity pass, for Italy, after so much time, to see her redeemer. I cannot express with what love he would be received in all those provinces that have suffered from these floods from outside’ (Machiavelli and Mansfield, 1998: 105). Using the theories of Niccolò Machiavelli, I study in this article, from a transatlantic perspective, Italians who helped build the Chilean nation. Italians did not emigrate to Chile…

Lo que más les pica a los periodistas y a los cuicos derechistas, es que estés [Jorge González] ganando buena plata. Eso no los deja dormir y te odiarán mientras vivas removiéndoles la conciencia cochina que tienen. Marcelo, fan de Los Prisioneros A treinta años del Golpe Militar de 1973, podemos declarar que Chile, para lograr progresar como nación, se ha convertido en un "país amnésico" en donde aquéllo "que hemos alcanzado supone perder la mem…
