En este artículo analizo las actividades poco ortodoxas llevadas a cabo por los viajeros y marchantes estadounidenses Arthur Byne y su esposa Mildred Stanley Byne en su búsqueda de tesoros artísticos en España durante el primer tercio del siglo XX. Simultáneamente a su saqueo artístico, los Byne publicaron una serie de valiosas obras sobre arte español, todas ellas profusamente ilustradas con fotografías y mapas. Pongo aquí en contraste su escritura de viajes con su actividad depredadora en España. Los Byne se aprovecharon del atraso y la debilidad política de España, de su corrupción institucional y eclesiástica y de la pobreza del pueblo llano para llevar a cabo sus actividades de saqueo. Su producción literaria entre 1914 y 1924, que comenzó siendo un análisis puramente descriptivo del patrimonio artístico español, fue gradualmente evolucionando hacia el relato de viajes más personal por el país (1925- 26). Sin embargo, tras la estrategia de sus intentos de promover el turismo cultural extranjero en España y de fomentar las visitas in situ de los turistas a los lugares descritos en sus obras, los Byne estaban despojando sigilosamente el tesoro artístico español para venderlo en los EE. UU., práctica que consiguieron disimular durante la redacción de sus narraciones de viajes.

This article analyses the transfer of poetic language into music, focusing on Edgar Allan Poe’s celebrated poem “The Raven” (1845). After a theoretical study on poetic language and theoretical questions regarding transmediation, I look into different pieces of instrumental music directly inspired by Poe’s lines. To this end, I draw on ground-breaking research regarding media transformation by authors such as Lars Elleström, whose work provides the theoretical framework, and, most especially, Siglind Bruhn, who has written about the relation between poetry and music, and who coined the term “musical ekphrasis”. Finally, I argue that these composers transmediate Poe’s “The Raven” by using musical devices similar to those employed by Poe in his poem. Particularly important for this analysis will be compulsive repetition and variation as strategies of the musical ekphrasis, and the re-presentation of the uncanny in music.

Los ataques terroristas del 11 de septiembre de 2001 ocasionaron una espiral de miedo e ira en la sociedad americana que tuvo como respuesta alguna de las medidas legislativas más controvertidas de su historia. El sentimiento de invencibilidad que había dominado el imaginario americano se evaporó ante el caos y el miedo de aquel día que posteriormente dieron forma a textos escritos por algunos de los escritores norteamericanos de mayor renombre. Entre ellos, Paul Auster con sus novelas sobre el 11-S, Travels in the Scriptorium (2007) y Man in the Dark (2008) que intentan responder a la inconmensurabilidad del 11-S a través de la angustia producida por el trauma físico y psicológico de dos ancianos encerrados en una habitación, donde la ficción se postula como la única salida a su confinamiento y donde la memoria individual e histórica se entrelazan con la crítica de Auster a la ‘Guerra contra el terror’.

In 1891 Sarah E. Farro was hailed as “the first negro novelist” with the publication of her novel True Love, a story featuring white English characters set in England. Scholars have believed that Farro’s text was ignored because it features no black characters and does not deal with racial issues. In contrast to these opinions, I contend that True Love is an unacknowledged but meticulous reworking of The Shadow of Ashlydyat (1863), the celebrated Victorian sensation novel by Ellen Wood. Farro’s plagiarism together with her deployment of a raceless plot far from being an aberration is an act freighted with a titanic self-affirmation and literary ambition that may have ultimately condemned her to literary ostracism.

Transhumanism has been rising in both popularity and influence on western societies and philosophical thought. Dreams of mind transfer, immortality, or cloning as well as the fear of sentient and intelligent artificial intelligence (AI) can be traced in some of Netflix’s most popular series such as Altered Carbon (2018), from the novel by Richard K. Morgan, or Orphan Black (2013), to mention just a few. Similarly, transhumanism may be spotted in Becky Chambers’ fiction. The novel analysed in this paper, A Closed and Common Orbit (2016), a sequel in the author’s Wayfarers series, explores the possibility of cloning human bodies, the production of sentient AI, and the subsequent ethical implications of both science fiction tropes. Far from showing transhumanism as a miracle solution to limitations in human bodies and capacity to avoid climate change, the text presents the suspicions and fears transhumanism may raise in the USA. This article provides evidence of how the Anthropocene and transhumanism operate in Becky Chambers’ novel, the ethical effects concerning intrinsic and extrinsic values and their possible subversion through a posthumanist alliance under the Anthropocene.
超人类主义在西方社会和哲学思想中的受欢迎程度和影响都在上升。关于心灵转移、永生或克隆的梦想，以及对有情感和智能的人工智能(AI)的恐惧，可以在Netflix的一些最受欢迎的电视剧中找到，比如理查德·k·摩根(Richard K. Morgan)小说改编的《变碳》(2018)，或者《黑色孤儿》(2013)。同样，在贝基·钱伯斯的小说中也可以看到超人类主义。本文分析的小说《封闭而共同的轨道》(2016)是作者的《旅行者》系列的续集，探讨了克隆人体的可能性、有感情的人工智能的生产以及这两种科幻小说的后续伦理含义。文章并没有把超人类主义作为解决人类身体局限性和避免气候变化能力的奇迹，而是提出了超人类主义可能在美国引起的怀疑和恐惧。本文论证了贝奇·钱伯斯小说中人类世和超人类主义是如何运作的，内在价值和外在价值的伦理影响，以及人类世下的后人类主义联盟可能对两者的颠覆。

Joy Harjo’s poetry may be used to reflect on how various cultural traditions experience the concept of “We” with regards to other species and the environment, for which creative forms of responsibility should be articulated. Today, humans and non-humans alike face numerous and significant challenges and threats that are becoming increasingly apparent in the specific context of climate change and environmental degradation. Harjo’s work raises concerns about the impact that current global crises are having on the environment and our relationship to places, and consequently, our sense of belonging. This article discusses the relevance of some of Harjo’s poetry for increasing consciousness about the earth’s vulnerability and the need for environmental justice, which may be found in small but fundamental acts of caring

Focusing on Canadian poet Sue Goyette’s collection Solstice 2020. An Archive (2021), this article examines how dealing with the effects of a global pandemic through the medium of poetry can act as a powerful catalyst in raising awareness about collective vulnerability and mourning. During the locked-down days of 2020, Goyette felt it was her responsibility as a poet to find words to convey the sense of shared vulnerability people experienced in the face of a momentous event that confined them to their homes for days on end. Drawing on vulnerability theory, ecophilosopher David Abram’s thinking on the more-than-human world, Stacy Alaimo’s concept of trans - corporeality, as well as on recent theorizations on the COVID-19 pandemic, this article argues that Goyette’s Solstice 2020 is a most interesting sociological document that represents collective vulnerability, testifies to the conundrums posed by the still ongoing pandemic, and makes visible the deep affinities between humankind and the more-than-human world.

This article explores Edwidge Danticat’s last novel, Claire of the Sea Light (2013), as a response to Modern/colonial ideologies of progress that continue to emanate from predictions of a Fourth Industrial Revolution. After an analysis of the work of Danticat as literature of the American hemisphere instead of merely Haitian or Caribbean literature, this article contends that the text’s portrayal of nature, the environment, and the past aligns with visions of decolonial hope rather than with the linear progress of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Through the stories of a small community in Haiti, Claire of the Sea Light portrays the degradation of the environment that ravishes the country and does so in relation to the external forces that affect it, presenting a coloniality of climate associated to racial dynamics of the American hemisphere. The blending of human narratives and environmental ones in the novel nevertheless offers possibilities for resistance and a hopeful vision of the country rooted in decolonial ecologies and Caribbean epistemology. Granting equal importance to the stories of non-human actors in the narrative, the novel positions itself outside the Modern/colonial tradition to embrace a decolonial poetics that offers hope in a world which has proved to continually reproduce its own coloniality as new technology is developed.
本文探讨了Edwidge Danticat的最后一部小说《海之光的克莱尔》(Claire of the Sea Light, 2013)，作为对第四次工业革命预言中不断涌现的现代/殖民主义进步意识形态的回应。在分析了但丁卡特的作品作为美洲半球的文学而不仅仅是海地或加勒比文学之后，本文认为，文本对自然、环境和过去的描绘与非殖民化的希望的愿景一致，而不是与第四次工业革命的线性进展一致。通过海地一个小社区的故事，海之光的克莱尔描绘了这个国家的环境退化，并将其与影响它的外部力量联系起来，呈现了与美洲半球种族动态相关的殖民气候。然而，小说中人类叙事和环境叙事的融合为抵抗提供了可能性，并为这个植根于非殖民化生态和加勒比认识论的国家提供了充满希望的愿景。小说在叙事中对非人类角色的故事给予同等的重视，将自己置于现代/殖民传统之外，以拥抱一种非殖民化的诗学，这种诗学为一个随着新技术的发展而不断复制其自身殖民性的世界提供了希望。
