{"title":"Unsettling Colonialism: Gender and Race in the Nineteenth-Century Global Hispanic World","authors":"M. Soliño","doi":"10.1080/08831157.2022.2121127","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/08831157.2022.2121127","url":null,"abstract":"Unsettling Colonialism is a welcome addition to the growing bibliography on Hispanic postcolonial studies through its concentration on the often-neglected role that gender played in the colonial discourse of a crumbling empire. The book’s focus is on the literary and cultural productions of the long nineteenth-century, a period during which Spain struggled to define itself as a nation in the face of the loss of its American colonies and its expansion into Africa. The era is rich in opportunities to discover forgotten female voices, a focus of many of the chapters. Divided into three sections—“Colonialism and Women’s Migrations”; “Race, Performance, and Colonial Ideologies”; “Gender and Colonialism in Literary and Political Debates”—Unsettling Colonialism reconceptualizes the legacy of Spanish colonialism through the prism of the intersections of race and gender. Benita Sampedro Vizcaya’s essay, “The Colonial Politics of Meteorology,” uncovers the scientific contributions of Isabel and Manuela Urquiola while charting the Gulf of Guinea. Whereas Isabel’s husband, Manuel Iradier, was heralded as a great explorer, honored by the Franco regime with stamps commemorating the centenary of his birth, it was his wife and sister-in-law who between 1874 and 1877 gathered the data that facilitated the exploration and settlement of Central Africa. Their erasure from history stands in sharp contrast to the honors garnered by the English Mary Henrietta Kingsley. In the second chapter of this grouping, “Eva Canal and the Gender of Hispanism,” Lisa Surwillo cogently analyzes Lo que vi en Cuba, a trav es de la isla (1916) as a product of neoimperial Hispanism with Canal’s zeal to defend Spain’s centrality to the definition of Cuban culture in the face of U.S. occupation. Canal’s limited access to government funding allowed her to claim full independence from oversight as she produced counternarratives to the incursion of U.S. culture in Cuba. Akiko Tsuchiya studies the “Representations of White Slavery in Eugenio Flores’s Trata de blancas and Eugenio L opez Bago’s Carne importada.” Both novels are studied within the context of the sex trafficking of European women between 1860 and 1930. Under the umbrella of “radical naturalism,” both authors study prostitutes as the detritus of European society in a way that posits their diseased body as an outlet for expressing cultural anxieties about gender, racial impurities, and the loss of empire. The second section, focusing on performance, begins with Ana Mateos’s “A Black Woman Called Blanca la extranjera in Faustina S aez de Melgar’s Los miserables (1862–63),” a study of the abolitionist and feminist concerns of the Isabelline writer. Through her appearance in Madrid wearing blackface, the protagonist’s actions highlight the shared plight of women and slaves, with the added complexity that in her pose as a black woman she has less social constrictions than a white woman of her class. Of added interest is Mateos’s study o","PeriodicalId":41843,"journal":{"name":"ROMANCE QUARTERLY","volume":"69 1","pages":"230 - 231"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41500129","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It argues that the novel’s fin-de-siècle reception was conditioned by the author’s prior classification as an immoral, anti-national writer in the wake of the poetry collection Intermezzo di rime. This classification determined a reading of d’Annunzio’s debut novel in terms of decadence, while Il piacere itself actually pointed toward a literature of regeneration. The novel staged d’Annunzio’s opposition to his own prior classification, while making claims for a more committed and more internationally relevant model of Italian literature in the context of European modernity.","PeriodicalId":41843,"journal":{"name":"ROMANCE QUARTERLY","volume":"69 1","pages":"214 - 227"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45343871","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A partir de ideas de Peter Brooks y J. Hillis Miller, y una discusión de la nociones de ‘clinamen’ (Bloom) y ‘telos’ (en Aristóteles y Hegel, pasando por Nietzsche), el ensayo muestra las reinterpretaciones que ejercieron Conrad—sobre el cuento de Maupassant—y Quiroga—sobre los cuentos de Conrad y Maupassant—, cada uno con un designio distinto y desde una divergente concepción de los males sociales de su tiempo. El relato de Maupassant es una defensa del orden patriarcal y la moral tradicional burguesa en Francia contra la emergencia de la nueva burguesía. Conrad, pese a tomar los elementos argumentales clave del cuento del francés, lo reescribe como una crítica radical del orden patriarcal. Quiroga, a su vez, extrema la crítica y el nihilismo de Conrad, para contar una tercera versión de la historia de la mujer que alumbra monstruos, esta vez enjuiciando no solo el orden patriarcal (y la institución de la familia), sino lo que percibe como el telos histórico de inicios del siglo veinte, del cual el patriarcado es un aspecto central, pero no único. Parte central de la discusión es una lectura paralela de los sentidos del concepto de ‘telos’ en la historia y en la ficción.","PeriodicalId":41843,"journal":{"name":"ROMANCE QUARTERLY","volume":"69 1","pages":"144 - 157"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48510986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ivers","doi":"10.1080/08831157.2022.2057207","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/08831157.2022.2057207","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract In sixteenth-century Barcelona, printing houses mainly produced books in Catalan, Castilian, and Latin. At times, imprints contained combinations of these languages. This analysis of a printed compilation of Passion-centered poetry employs metonymy to study the intersections of whole and partial texts within La dolorosa passio del nostre redemptor Jesuchrist (Barcelona, 1518) alongside the identities of its readers as individuals and as members of an ecclesiastical whole. I argue that the Latin fragments and Catalan verses in La dolorosa passió guided readers through individual and collective modes of Catholic devotion, including personal compassion for Christ’s suffering and remembrance of communal liturgical celebrations. A unique aspect of this printed book is that the printer, Pere Posa, was the one who inserted Latin phrases before and after the Catalan poems. His decision to mingle Latin fragments with Catalan poetry points to the existence of an early modern Iberian readership that performed personal and collective devotional practices in both languages. Mukul Saxena’s concept of lifestyle diglossia illustrates how lay Catholic readers tailored their use of Latin and Catalan on La dolorosa passió’s folios to match religious practices they as individuals and their society as a whole were cultivating. The presence of contiguous Latin fragments and Catalan verses demonstrates that, far from compartmentalizing their communal and individual religious experiences, early modern Iberian Catholics enacted overlapping collective and personal identities while reading printed devotional books. I contend that we can trace these intersections by putting content in dialogue with materiality using imprints like La dolorosa passió.","PeriodicalId":41843,"journal":{"name":"ROMANCE QUARTERLY","volume":"69 1","pages":"113 - 126"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43403340","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While theaters were forced to close, such measures did not put a stop to cultural initiatives in the city. From May through June, the Compañía Nacional de Teatro Clásico (CNTC) developed a pioneering audiovisual piece, En otro reino extraño, built around different texts about love by Lope de Vega (1562–1635). Carrying out this creative endeavor remotely, director David Boceta ushers actors and audience members into a state of disquieting liminality, a no man’s land straddling utopia and dystopia. The piece succeeds in fostering a communal and self-supportive dialogue around the meaning of love but, at the same time, leads performers and spectators to reassess our understanding of the classics when theater was plunged into survival mode.","PeriodicalId":41843,"journal":{"name":"ROMANCE QUARTERLY","volume":"69 1","pages":"73 - 82"},"PeriodicalIF":0.2,"publicationDate":"2022-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46694637","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
