Fantastical elements are very common in the literature of Fernando Iwasaki. As a historian, and also a Peruvian, he has drawn on elements of Inca culture and mythology, and also Peruvian folklore. Although strongly influenced by Cortázar, Poe and Lovecraft , in terms of style, themes, topoi and poetics, Iwasaki is also indebted to the works of Jorge Luis Borges. Indeed, the aim of the article is to analyze the main Borgian influences present in Iwasaki’s works with a particular focus on his book Ajuar funerario (2004).

Although science fiction is to be found in Latin American literature, it has always been considered a minor genre on the continent. This may be why some science fiction writers publish under a pseudonym while others have only dabbled in this genre. The paper analyzes Artificial Man (1910) by the Uruguayan Horacio Quiroga and Close to Life (2010) by the Peruvian Santiago Roncagliolo in order to demonstrate how the use of technology in human beings can be depicted. The article discusses in particular the means by which Roncagliolo highlights the desire for automation that leads a company to dehumanize humans in order to humanize machines.

This paper on intellectual history aims to describe the phenomenon of Morlaquism, a fascinating subject for men of letters in the 18th and 19th centuries. Starting from the fi rst introduction of Morlachs in French literature, we will try to demonstrate how the Morlach theme obtains a warm welcome from the metropolitan public. We shall also see how the same points to the danger of creating ideas about the Other based on alleged Western cultural superiority; beliefs that led to the justifi cation of the colonization of South Slavic and African countries (Michelet; Ferry, Hugo), thus opening new research perspectives in the context of postmodernist and postcolonial critiques.

This article looks to argue that the application of a socially informed trauma theory, as elaborated by Jeffrey C. Alexander et al, would yield invaluable insights into the vicissitudes of early modern society, which underwent a profound collective trauma. This collective trauma was performed on the early modern stage, where the especially gory genre of revenge tragedy served as a work-through channel for this fundamental crisis. Replacing the one-sided concept of mourning, the complex framework of collective trauma allows to account for the hegemonic power relations in the process of the creation of different, contesting trauma narratives. Another crucial aspect of the collective trauma-framework which the paper discusses is that while it acknowledges the loss inherent in fundamental social change, it also allows for the merits of Protestantism in the long run. However, it does not necessarily lead to the idea of disenchantment, as the concept of mourning does.

The image of Camilo Castelo Branco in literary historiography was shaped by a sentimental idealism and the tragedy of his impossible love relationships. However, the analysis of the male characters in novels such as Coração, Cabeça e Estômago and O Que Fazem Mulheres, proves that they share the same comic gaze of the Camilian narrator, who portrays them as a parody of the Romantic hero.
卡米洛·卡斯特洛·布兰科在文学史上的形象是由一种感伤的理想主义和他不可能的爱情悲剧所塑造的。然而,通过对《cora》、《cabee Estômago》和《O Que Fazem Mulheres》等小说中男性角色的分析,可以发现他们都有着Camilian叙述者同样的喜剧眼光,Camilian叙述者将他们塑造成对浪漫主义英雄的拙劣模仿。

The aim of this paper is to determine and understand the ideas and poetics of the Portuguese writer Guerra Junqueiro’s (1850-1923) satire in verse. the article analyzes the literary content, form and stylistic strategies and takes into account Junqueiro’s historical, cultural and literary contexts. the idea of homeland fuels his satire to ridicule and punish both the internal agents that the poet considers responsible for the civilizational backwardness of his country (monarchists, King D. Carlos, the Church, the literati, etc.), and the external ones (England and its Portugal-related policies). the article demonstrates that Junqueiro’s satire is aimed to produce psychological and physical pain, which is metaphorized in the images of defense and punishment. Finally, it proves that this kind of fi gurative violence, in the context of a country in dire need of activism, paradoxically took the form of a nihilistic perspective expressed through a satirical verbalization that can, nonetheless, be considered as “active pessimism”.

In this paper we propose to study the editorial context of Metastasio’s translations. Then we will identify the types of Italian-speaking readers interested in the opéra seria based on an analysis of unexplored documentary sources. Finally, we will explain how the circulation of these translations changed the “literary scene”. This contribution analyzes the Preface by Charles Bonnet de Chemilin to the translation of the works of Pietro Metastasio (1749).
