A case in point is Mário de Andrade's modernist novel Macunaíma (1928), whose homonymous protagonist has the ability to rapidly travel across Brazilian territory and into neighboring countries in what Andrade defined as a process of \"degeographication.\" This article proposes that, rather than simply erasing borders, Macunaíma's continental wanderings highlight the singular, ambivalent position Brazil has occupied in conceptualizations of Latin America. Moreover, these transnational journeys occur primarily in the geographically undetermined space of the \"virgin woods,\" where distances and limits on movement are less marked than in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. By investigating how a borderless Latin America is imagined via the space of the virgin woods, this article demonstrates how Macunaíma's degeographication is geographically and environmentally conditioned. In doing so, it aims to reconsider the longstanding debates about Brazil's status in Latin America in light of ecocritical studies and to show how environmental considerations may contribute to this discussion.","PeriodicalId":44636,"journal":{"name":"Revista Hispanica Moderna","volume":"75 1","pages":"177 - 193"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46687777","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}

While Merino's La voz de los relojes (2000) interrogates the visible by expanding and simultaneously subdividing it, showing that different people see different things, Méndez Rubio's El fin del mundo (1995) highlights the impact of the (in)visible and out-of-frame in his interrogation of the visible. Even though each poet engages with different forms of visual representation—painting in Merino's work and photography and film in Méndez Rubio's—and represents different spaces—Cuba in Merino's work and Albania in Méndez Rubio's—both show that it is possible to interrogate visual representation as a larger phenomenon even if their work does not use more traditional ekphrastic approaches in which poems engage with and establish a dialogue with existing visual representations. The work of these two poets ultimately reveals the importance of continuing this interrogation of visual representation, since such critiques of modes of representation do not sever the inextricable link between visual representation and discourse, but instead only reshape and reframe it.","PeriodicalId":44636,"journal":{"name":"Revista Hispanica Moderna","volume":"75 1","pages":"138 - 154"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47727249","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}

We analyze these books in chronological order, regarding them as a unit in evolution, an organic sequence that meticulously builds, develops, and alters a way of looking. If Los pies de San Juan represents the claustrophobic experience of the physical city of San Juan, donde transforms this experience into a condition and projects it outwards to a conceptual space that imbues everything around the speaker. In El deseo del lápiz this \"conditioned\" way of dwelling is taken to its extreme by suggesting prison can be interpreted as a synecdoche of all these previous experiences. By exploring fissures in the hegemonic models of visuality (in the physical, conceptual-epistemological, and institutional levels), Lalo's work blurs the imaginary line of \"the distribution of the sensible\" (Rancière). This means that by combining the visual experimentation of photography with the conceptual-epistemological exploration of the text, Lalo conceives a new aesthetic community that presents bodies with another way of experiencing their daily reality. At the same time, we analyze the tension created by the constant, perhaps unintended irruption of the self-referential authorial voice within the texts.","PeriodicalId":44636,"journal":{"name":"Revista Hispanica Moderna","volume":"75 1","pages":"155 - 176"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41394899","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}
