By drawing on the insights of the \"archival turn\" taken by contemporary critics, this essay reveals how Menéndez Pelayo's omission of Blanco White's abolitionism had such lasting effects that Goytisolo was unable to rectify it despite his explicit political commitments to human dignity, antislavery, and antiracism. Ultimately, this article shows that Goytisolo failed to treat Blanco White's abolitionist sentiment as a historical topic in its own right because he mounted a political challenge to Menéndez Pelayo's portrayal of Blanco White, but at the same time left untouched the power inscribed in the Catholic polymath's archival narrative.","PeriodicalId":44625,"journal":{"name":"HISPANIC REVIEW","volume":"90 1","pages":"245 - 268"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42423250","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Presentando a sus protagonistas, Pizarnik y Arias subvierten el paradigma genérico en el cual el genio melancólico es un hombre, mientras la mujer melancólica resulta una improductiva víctima de la depresión. La melancolía permite la validación creativa del cuerpo femenino (en Pizarnik), y se muestra como consecuencia invisible de la dictadura militar argentina (en Arias). En ambas obras las escrituras biográficas y autobiográficas permiten incorporar el ámbito de lo privado a la escena, dándoles visibilidad y agencia a personajes históricamente relegados de los discursos oficiales y públicos.Abstract:Based on the analysis of the theatrical pieces \"Los perturbados entre lilas\" (1969), by Alejandra Pizarnik, and \"Melancolía y manifestaciones\" (2012), by Lola Arias, I propose a rereading of these texts from the capacity of melancholy as a trope, stylistic resource, and defining characteristic of the characters, to provide a new perspective on gender discourses and the construction of memory in contemporary Argentine theater. By presenting their protagonists as melancholic, Pizarnik and Arias subvert the paradigm where the melancholic genius is a man, while the melancholic woman is an unproductive victim of depression. Melancholy allows the creative validation of the female body (in Pizarnik), and is shown as an invisible consequence of the Argentine military dictatorship (in Arias). In both works, biographical and autobiographical writing allows the incorporation of the private sphere into the stage, giving visibility and agency to characters historically relegated from official and public discourses.","PeriodicalId":44625,"journal":{"name":"HISPANIC REVIEW","volume":"90 1","pages":"269 - 291"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46376425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following earlier work by Spanish and Latin American poets like Pablo Neruda, Francisco Pino, José Hierro, and Juan Gelman, Méndez Rubio's poems consisting entirely of questions span nearly two decades (1998–2017) and illustrate the potential that questions have as spaces from which to develop, explore, and interrogate poetic thinking. Establishing a dialogue between question poems that focus on writing, speaking, and expression and theoretical work on lyric structures (Culler), poetic attention (Alford), poetic thinking (Vendler), lyric address (Waters), and the use of questions in poetry (Jauss and Wolfson) helps us rethink the way we approach poetry in general and engage with the concepts it constructs, presents, and examines.","PeriodicalId":44625,"journal":{"name":"HISPANIC REVIEW","volume":"90 1","pages":"177 - 199"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48108383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is only too predictable that, as Machado’s works progressively reach beyond national borders and gain the attention of a larger number of literary scholars outside Brazil, competing critical studies would appear.

While the specular role of animals in human attempts at self-definition might seem at odds with the goals of Animal Studies today, there is great value in appraising Cervantine theriophily. From Plutarch to Montaigne, theriophily questioned anthropocentrism by comparing the ills of human society to the order of the animal world. This comparison between humans and animals was central to how Cervantes's Casamiento–Coloquio questioned anthropocentrism, as Campuzano's descent into animality at the hands of Estefanía de Caicedo results in a dialogue between dogs that prefer their canine \"buen natural\" to the prospect of a latent humanity. Foregrounding the specular thinking between humans and dogs, art and nature, reveals the roots, as well, of Berganza's racism, as the logic of animal husbandry is projected back onto humans.","PeriodicalId":44625,"journal":{"name":"HISPANIC REVIEW","volume":"90 1","pages":"107 - 129"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43818778","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
