Centennial Reflections
Borges’ thoughts on centenaries evince a complexity that his enthusiasts should bear in mind when hurrying to celebrate his first hundred years in the literary domain. Focusing on the moral paradox of ‘Tema del traidor y del héroe’, this study notes the betrayal of the epic possibilities of a national and family centenary, and finds a similar scepticism in a later poem, ‘Elegía de la patria’. As a counterweight, an essay written in January 1965 o…

Dirty Realism and Filthy Lucre
The category of ‘dirty realism’ has been associated with Cuban fiction of the Special Period (1990–2005) by several critics including Anke Birkenmaier, Guillermina De Ferrari and Esther Whitfield.1
Género, ética, y arte
The complexity of lead character Marco Zuloaga's role in Hable con ella has been underestimated in existing studies of Almodóvar's film, more enthralled by the sexually ambiguous figure of Benigno and his insemination-through-rape of Alicia. This article stresses Marco's importance as moral touchstone and aesthetic yardstick of the film and comments on his surprisingly conventional persona in its gender design. Marco's name also encodes hitherto …
Entre la pantalla y el libro
El origen de las relaciones entre la obra literaria de García Márquez y el cine se encuentra en una serie de reseñas de películas, que el autor colombiano escribe para el periódico bogotano El Espectador, a mediados de los cincuenta.

With the creation of the printing press, modern European writing acquired many conventions, of which the lunulae, or parentheses in the form of round brackets, have proved one of the most versatile and enduring. The author of a landmark study on the exploitation of parentheses in English printed verse has provided a case history of the phenomenon, accounting for its development from the time of the Elizabethans, through the crucible of Romantic p…
The Novels of Fernando del Paso
Latin America and Beyond
Leopoldo Zea was born in Mexico City in 1912 and is a unique survivor, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, of a generation that lived through the turmoil of the Mexican Revolution of 1910–20. Regarding that event as a model for the nationalist and anticolonialist revolutions that were destined to occur elsewhere, Zea subsequently became a spokesman for the antiimperialism of the American subcontinent post-1945, choosing to interpret the…
