The 'No' was a significant victory for those opposed to Pinochet. However, the film depicts how civic freedom was heavily negotiated. In a sense, the nation could not be rid of authoritarian impulses emanating from the ‘Sí’ campaign and its voters.

Estos son componentes que actúan como objeto de deseo, así como forjadores y guardianes del orden social del Chile decimonónico. Una prenda a la moda, entonces, conecta a alguien con el mundo exterior, lo que indica la aprobación o el rechazo de la sociedad. Desde esta perspectiva, la ropa y los accesorios que usan los personajes de Blest Gana 'narran' y articulan luchas, acuerdos, negociaciones, y eventos históricos, a medida que la nación comienza a definirse como tal.

Snow pudiera enriquecerse con una hasta ahora olvidada valoraci6n que ha hecho de la obra el escritor italiano Carlo Emilio Gadda (1893-1973). El ensayo es atipico por no ser el analisis de un academic0 y por ser de un escritor tan particular como Gadda, el cual en su obra demuestra una "afinidad electivan con Celestina.. Carlo Emilio Gadda ha sentido desden por 10s valores y privilegios de la tradici6n humanistica literaria, y en sus obras rinde homenaje a urn lenguaje tecnico y dialectal, en el cual se desenvuelve el pueblo.'

During her meandering life, the artist compiled and pursued a multidimensional craft. She was a singer-songwriter, visual artist, poet, and political activist, among many other things. Contributors analyze Parra from interdisciplinary angles that include history, music, film studies, literary studies, and visual arts, with a view toward casting an innovative light on her multifaceted career. Although there were other well-known compilers, Parra broke new ground. She expressed the trends of the rural in the urban and vice versa and returned to the countryside melodies that, as her career evolved, she imbued with socio-political awareness.

A traves de una combinacion de Alta Cultura -por ejemplo, en su continuo dialogo con los poetas espanoles del Siglo de Oro- y la Cultura Popular, los poemas de La Quinta hablan de un viaje de regreso a la ninez. Las varias voces femeninas de los poemas nos muestran escenas de la naturaleza que reflejan/narran una historia de transculturacion e identidad traducida. En algunos poemas, las aguas oceanicas tumultuosas, a la vez que aquellas limpidas y serenas del mar guian a los afro-cubanos en su viaje de agonia al Nuevo Mundo.

The novel presents detailed descriptions, for example, of fine fabrics, emphasising the sounds that the wearers of such fabric reproduce as they move about. Wealthy or not, people feel the pressure to present themselves in their best garments, but the “best noise” is made by the rich, who transmit the affect of opulence to the less fortunate. Overall, to radiate a sensory appeal, characters frequent the city of Santiago and patronise the finest clothing stores. From our very first encounter with the protagonist Fortunato Esperanzano, he is dressed accordingly, engaging with Santiago and showing in his persona that he shops only for nice clothes and the best cigars. From a Lefebvrian perspective, Fortunato represents how Chile’s moder...

In the nineteenth century, the Latin American elite struggled to disassociate itself from a suffocating colonial machine; they sought their own identity, and writing became a way to express their frustration. As in other parts of Latin America, Mexican intellectuals protested fossilisation via Cervantes’s Don Quijote. Using the Spanish author’s text as a blueprint, Lizardi’s Don Catrín de la fachenda depicted a turbulent society that was in the process of abandoning a decaying colonial order. Don Quijote’s characters engaged in power struggles and were involved in a variety of forms of social antagonism. Lizardi juxtaposed and superimposed these on an American geographical and socio-economic space where there was much dissension around the nation’s direction. The social and economic rules of Mexico (and Latin America) today can be said t...

It underscores the legacy of Cervantes on the Chilean author especially in his reflections on nation building. Unlike its author, Don Quijote eluded restriction and successfully reached the colonies; once there, author and text became a massive influence on intellectuals in the burgeoning Americas. Blest Gana, for example, created protagonists who were multi-dimensional and imbued with quixotic overtones. Praised by his counterparts, he created work that was finely detailed, with a goal of portraying the nation’s cultural practices at specifics points in history. Deploying techniques inspired by Honore de Balzac (also a reader of Don Quijote), Blest Gana illustrated the colourful aspects of his society. His sharp eye depicted and interpreted nationhood and society through the ...
