{"title":"The Times and Surfaces of Venezuelan Oil Literature: A Reading of Oficina No. 1 and Guachimanes","authors":"Elizabeth Barrios","doi":"10.1353/hcs.2019.0005","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/hcs.2019.0005","url":null,"abstract":"Resumen:La mayoría de las novelas petroleras venezolanas muestran el surgimiento y crecimiento de enclaves petroleras en los años veinte y treinta. Este enfoque histórico ha llevado a los críticos literarios del país a descartar a la literatura petrolera como provincial y obsoleta. Sin embargo, al describir cómo una de las industrias más sigilosas del mundo estableció sus prácticas locales en Venezuela, novelas como Oficina No. 1 (1961) de Miguel Otero Silva y Guachimanes (1954) de Gabriel Bracho Montiel nos ayudan a replantear las periodizaciones convencionales del siglo XX venezolano. Este artículo argumenta que estos textos desafían muchos de los mitos que sostienen la idea de una Venezuela moderna, en particular la de una nación que suprime repetidamente su pasado a través de su vasta riqueza petrolera. Al priorizar las continuidades en el proceso de extracción, Oficina No. 1 y Guachimanes desafían una visión del cambio histórico como una serie de rupturas llevadas a cabo por el petro-estado, creando así un espacio para considerar hasta qué punto el petróleo y el estado llevan a cabo los cambios sociales en Venezuela.Abstract:The majority of novels about oil in Venezuela depict the emergence and growth of oil enclaves in the 1920s and 1930s. This focus on the early years of oil exploitation has led critics to dismiss the country's oil literature as provincial and outdated. However, by depicting how one of the most secretive industries in the world established its local practices in Venezuela, novels such as Oficina No. 1 (1961) by Miguel Otero Silva and Guachimanes (1954) by Gabriel Bracho Montiel reframe conventional periodizations of the country's history. This article argues that these texts' depictions of oil extraction enclaves undermine many of the myths accompanying the idea of a modern Venezuela—in particular that of a nation that repeatedly abolishes its past through its vast oil wealth. By prioritizing the continuities in the extraction process, these texts ultimately challenge a notion of historical and territorial change as a series of breaks made possible by an oil-rich state. Far from mere representations of a bygone era, the texts carve a space to consider the extent to which social change in Venezuela is simultaneously enabled and inhibited by oil and the state.","PeriodicalId":366492,"journal":{"name":"Arizona Journal of Hispanic Cultural Studies","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121344688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Las teorías de la cognición cinematográfica nos ayudan a comprender la naturalización del carnismo—una tradición dietética basada en el consumo de la carne. Mientras que los conceptos de vegetarianismo o veganismo presuponen que lo normal es comer animales, el carnismo es un tema de investigación fascinante que nos permite revisitar toda una serie de fenómenos sociales y culturales, desde las divisiones entre lo humano y lo no-humano hasta la redistribución de terrenos y la organización de la gastronomía y las normas del comportamiento según el género sexual.Abstract:Responding to Jorge Marí's article, this contribution draws on the studies of cinematic cognition to trace the effects of filmic representations of food on spectators. As I argue, theories of film cognition are particularly useful for understanding the naturalization of carnism—the dietetic tradition based on meat consumption. While terms such as \"vegetarianism\" or \"veganism\" presuppose that eating animals is the norm, \"carnism\" is a fascinating subject of research that allows scholars to take a fresh look at a whole array of social and cultural phenomena—from the human/non-human divide to redistribution of lands to gendered gastronomies and sexualized norms of behavior.","PeriodicalId":366492,"journal":{"name":"Arizona Journal of Hispanic Cultural Studies","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127160926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Este ensayo lee el Valle de los Caídos y su archivo cultural con el fin de explorar las conexiones entre la política, la historia, y la construcción de la nación. Examino cómo la memoria cultural del archivo se construye y se reelabora a través de un archivo que abarca tanto el periodo de la dictadura como el de la democracia y que incluye los Noticiarios y Documentales (No-Dos) franquistas, la serie, \"Valle de los Caídos\" (1981-1986), por el equipo Costus, y la comedia negra de 2010 dirigida por Álex de la Iglesia, Balada triste de trompeta. Este ensayo da encuentro a dos conceptos distintos de la memoria cultural: les lieux de mémoire de Pierre Nora y el concepto del archivo de Jacques Derrida. Las tensiones productivas de este esquema conceptual dan lugar a un análisis de cómo el lugar materializa una particular memoria dictatorial, mientras el archivo cultural multifacético del Valle refuerza y/o contesta dicha memoria. Sostengo que estos medios visuales reterritorializan la memoria dictatorial del monumento a través de varias estrategias estéticas, y que, por lo tanto, este archivo cultural heterogéneo es esencial para la construcción de una memoria democrática en el presente.Abstract:As a memorial site, the Valley of the Fallen instantiates the cultural memory of the Franco dictatorship, and thus stands today at the center of Spain's national and ongoing memory-work on the legacy of the Franco period. This essay reads the Valley of the Fallen and its cultural archive in order to explore the connections between politics, history, and nation building. I examine how the cultural memory of the Valley is constructed and reworked through a pre- and post-Transition visual archive that includes the Francoist Noticiarios y Documentales (No-Dos), the \"Valle de los Caídos\" painting series (1981-1986) by the art collective Costus, and Álex de la Iglesia's 2010 dark comedy film, Balada triste de trompeta. Two distinct theoretical concepts related to cultural memory, Pierre Nora's lieux de mémoire and Jacques Derrida's concept of the archive, intersect in this essay. The productive tensions of this conceptual framework provide for an analysis of how the site materializes a particular dictatorial memory while the multifaceted cultural archive surrounding the site might alternately reinforce and contest that memory. I argue that these visual media enact a reterritorialization of the dictatorial memory of the monument through various aesthetic strategies and that this heterogenous cultural archive is essential to the construction of democratic memory in the present.","PeriodicalId":366492,"journal":{"name":"Arizona Journal of Hispanic Cultural Studies","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114941767","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
