The Traces of Jacques Derrida’s Cinema
Trans-genre Lyotard
If Lyotard is correct to acknowledge the role of commentary in guarding the kernel of misunderstanding at the heart of the ethical phrase when he exclaims, “but isn’t this exactly what commentary does with ethics! It comments upon it as though it were a misunderstanding, and it thereby conserves in itself its own requirement that there be something ununderstood,” he does not account for that which a trans-generic or transmedial “commentary” might…

Seeing and Saying:Towards an Ethics of Truth in José Saramago's Ensaio sobre a Lucidez Erin Graff Zivin (bio) The 1967 film The Battle of Algiers, a path-breaking documentary-style fictionalization of the Algerian struggle for independence from colonial domination, opens with the stark black-and-white images of an imprisoned National Liberation Front operative who has just been tortured.

Semitic Mysteries, Universal Truths: Jewishness and Arabness in Jorge Luis Borges
‘Semitic Mysteries’ traces the unexpectedly, uncannily similar genealogies of Jewishness and Arabness in the short stories of Argentine poet, essayist and fabulist Jorge Luis Borges. By examining the ways in which Borges situates knowledge in the alternately Jewish and Arab mystical worlds – worlds that, while far-off and exotic, retain a link to the geocultural reality of Argentina through their contemporary immigrant counterparts – this essay a…

The Ethics of Latin American Literary Criticism: Reading Otherwise (New Concepts in Latino American Cultures)
The last several decades have witnessed a reorientation of the political and a globalization of the cultural in Latin America, shifting literature's function as a homogenizing, citizen-forming institution to a more dispersed, fragmented, and (potentially) democratic and liberating practice. At the same time, and perhaps in response to this cultural shift, the field of Latin American literary studies has expanded to include cultural studies, postc…
Reading Max Nordau: Unspeakable Difference in Spanish American Modernism
The articulation of national, cultural and aesthetic subjectivities in nineteenth-century America has often involved significant negotiation with ideas from abroad, whether ideological movements, artistic trends, or the figures behind these very innovations. Sylvia Molloy has explored this phenomenon of intertextual (or intera^/zorial) appropriation in Jos? Mart?'s reading of Walt Whitman, proposing the term scene of translation to characterize m…
