TransLatin Joyce: Global Transmissions in Ibero-American Literature (Literatures of the Americas)

TransLatin Joyce explores the circulation of James Joyce's work in the Ibero-American literary system. The essays address Joycean literary engagements in Spain, Portugal, Argentina, Mexico, and Cuba, using concepts from postcolonial translation studies, antimodernism, game theory, sound studies, deconstruction, and post-Euclidean physics. In a near-perfect convergence of international academic and market interests, middlebrow and highbrow print cultures, modernist and postmodernist aesthetics, Cold War hegemonies and decolonization struggles, and cosmopolitan and postcolonial agendas, James Joyce became a key point of reference in the writings of Iberian and Ibero-American pre-boom, boom, and post-boom authors. TransLatin Joyce proposes new ways of addressing the following question: What can the study of the routes and rates of circulation of James Joyce's work in the Ibero-American or the intra-Latino literary systems teach us about the cartographies of peripheral modernism on the global scale? Based on new in-depth archival findings and close textual readings, this exciting collection of nine essays argues that Joyce's legacy is at present best valued and understood from the vantage point of postcolonial writing in Spanish and Portuguese Cover 1 Title 4 Copyright 5 Contents 0 Acknowledgments 0 Introduction: The Global Paradigm in Fourth-Wave Ibero-American Criticism on James Joyce 10 Part I The Iberian Peninsula 0 Chapter 1 Re-creating Ulysses across the Pyrenees: Antonio Marichalar’s Spanish-European Critical Project 0 Chapter 2 The Geopolitics of Modernist Impersonality: Pessoa’s Notes on Joyce 0 Part II Argentina 0 Chapter 3 Between Wandering Rocks: Joyce’s Ulysses in the Argentine Culture Wars 0 Chapter 4 The Cracked Lookingglass of the Servants: Joyce, Arlt (and Borges) 0 Part III Cuba 0 Chapter 5 Detranslating Joyce for the Cuban Revolution: Edmundo Desnoes’s 1964 Edition of Retrato del artista adolescente 0 Chapter 6 Replaying Joyce: Echoes from Ulysses in Severo Sarduy’s Auditory Imagination 0 Part IV Mexico 0 Chapter 7 A Portrait of the Mexican Artist as a Young Man: Salvador Elizondo’s Dedalean Poetics 0 Chapter 8 Mexican Antimodernism: Ulysses in Gustavo Sainz’s Obsesivos días circulares 0 Chapter 9 Crediting the Subject, Incorporating the Sheep: Cristóbal Nonato as the New Creole Ulysses? 0 Contributors 265 Index 268 Front Matter....Pages i-xx Front Matter....Pages 1-1 Re-creating Ulysses across the Pyrenees: Antonio Marichalar’s Spanish-European Critical Project....Pages 3-24 The Geopolitics of Modernist Impersonality: Pessoa’s Notes on Joyce....Pages 25-54 Front Matter....Pages 55-55 Between Wandering Rocks: Joyce’s Ulysses in the Argentine Culture Wars....Pages 57-87 The Cracked Lookingglass of the Servants: Joyce, Arlt (and Borges)....Pages 89-117 Front Matter....Pages 119-119 Detranslating Joyce for the Cuban Revolution: Edmundo Desnoes’s 1964 Edition of Retrato del artista adolescente....Pages 121-153 Replaying Joyce: Echoes from Ulysses in Severo Sarduy’s Auditory Imagination....Pages 155-177 Front Matter....Pages 179-179 A Portrait of the Mexican Artist as a Young Man: Salvador Elizondo’s Dedalean Poetics....Pages 181-210 Mexican Antimodernism: Ulysses in Gustavo Sainz’s Obsesivos días circulares....Pages 211-228 Crediting the Subject, Incorporating the Sheep: Cristóbal Nonato as the New Creole Ulysses?....Pages 229-251 Back Matter....Pages 253-260 Introduction: the global paradigm in fourth-wave Ibero-American criticism on James Joyce / César A.
