ABSTRACT The Canudos War was a pivotal moment in the early years of the Brazilian republic. The events that culminated in the destruction of the settlement of Canudos left an indelible mark on the country’s history. Canudos’s prominence within Brazilian history can be partly explained by the fact that it is the subject of Euclides da Cunha’s Os sertões (1902), the first edition of which included three photographs taken by Flávio de Barros. De Barros’s photographs of Canudos have received less attention than Da Cunha’s book. This article explores the way in which De Barros’s images work as a visual accompaniment to Os sertões. They speak to the same positivist and evolutionist theories that were prominent at the time. While the photographs presented an official narrative of the conflict, they came to symbolize the cruelty of war and engendered sympathy for the inhabitants of Conselheiro’s settlement.
摘要卡诺多斯战争是巴西共和国成立初期的一个关键时刻。最终导致Canudos定居点被毁的事件在该国历史上留下了不可磨灭的印记。Canudos在巴西历史上的突出地位可以部分解释为它是欧几里得·达·库尼亚的《Os sertões》(1902)的主题,该书的第一版包括Flávio de Barros拍摄的三张照片。德·巴罗斯拍摄的卡努多斯的照片受到的关注不如达库尼亚的书。本文探讨了德·巴罗斯的图像作为Os sertões的视觉伴奏的工作方式。他们所讲的是当时著名的实证主义和进化论理论。虽然这些照片呈现了对冲突的官方叙述,但它们象征着战争的残酷,并引起了对康塞尔海罗定居点居民的同情。

ABSTRACT This article examines Hugo Giménez’s Matar a un muerto (2019), set in 1978 during the Paraguayan and Argentine dictatorships. I contextualize the film in post-dictatorial cinema. My close reading strays from memory studies, often privileged in studies of Southern Cone post-dictatorial cultural productions. Instead, I delve into how the film engages with the political thriller, a genre originated in North America becoming more and more practiced in Latin America. I introduce what I call the genre’s grammar of secrecy, a way of picturing secrets through prepositions of space. I focus on how this thriller spatializes languages and politics, specters, and secrets in the Paraguayan woods, to portray state-sponsored forced disappearance. Following Taussig’s “public secrets,” I theorize what I call precarious secrets, distinctive to Latin American political thrillers, showcasing other works in the genre with shared elements. Finally, I consider political implications of the representation of secrecy and specters.

ABSTRACT “Segunda vez” is one of a few overtly political texts from Julio Cortázar’s 1977 collection Alguien que anda por ahí, describing the inexplicable disappearance of a civilian at an anonymous government ministry. Despite the narrative’s Argentine setting and clear allusions to the situation of the desaparecidos, critical evaluations of the story have historically been divided about whether to classify it as fantastic or political. These differences in interpretation can primarily be seen to belong to English-language and Spanish-language criticism respectively. This article argues for the reassessment of Cortázar’s later stories through a close reading of “Segunda vez” and its licensed translations, and explores the various possible factors that have contributed to the differences in critical interpretations of the text between Latin America and the English-speaking world. It is concluded that the mode of the fantastic is employed by Cortázar to evoke his ideological concerns.
胡里奥(Julio) Cortázar 1977年的文集《Alguien que anda por ahí》中为数不多的几篇带有明显政治含义的文章之一,描述了一名平民在一个不知名的政府部门莫名其妙地失踪。尽管故事以阿根廷为背景,并明确暗示了desaparecidos的处境,但对这个故事的批评评价在历史上一直存在分歧,即是将其归类为奇幻小说还是政治小说。这些解释上的差异主要可以看作分别属于英语和西班牙语批评。本文透过细读《第二回合》及其授权译本,主张重新评估Cortázar的后期故事,并探讨导致拉丁美洲与英语世界对文本的批判性解读差异的各种可能因素。最后得出结论,Cortázar运用了荒诞的模式来唤起他的意识形态关注。

ABSTRACT President Roberto Ortiz’s public life history mostly exemplifies the peculiarities of an Argentine interwar political trajectory. This article nuances that interpretation through evaluating unknown sources and recently discovered contemporary documents. He epitomizes the tangled political liberalism in interwar Argentina: formed in liberalism, he was increasingly influenced by statism and nationalism, which are prominent in his speeches. His path was ascending and expressed the peculiar transition between Radical era democratization and the so-called infamous decade. He might also be considered a transitional figure in Argentina’s mass politics, between the Radical republic and the emergence of Peronism. Although elected by fraudulent mechanisms, in office he moved to a democratic and inclusive program with clean elections. Paradoxically, as his administration was settled, Ortiz was shocked by a health crisis. The sick President became a crucial figure for democratic and pro-ally sectors in early-1940s Argentina. His health issues also limited his democratization mission.

ABSTRACT Mid-2000s Latin America witnessed serious policy discussions regarding the modes, delivery methods and goals of early childhood education and care (ECEC). Mexico implemented programs to provide access to ECEC to working mothers and young families. However, behind policy discourse lie very real security concerns for service users. This has been highlighted by incidents such as the 2009 death of 45 children at a daycare, an event which would severely undermine policy development. Using a governance framework, we argue that security concerns trumped other issues for users, including infrastructure and curriculum, and derailed the implementation of ECEC policies. We use an original database of 2005–2013 news reports on ECEC for two Mexican national newspapers to establish the narrative for that period. We argue that until governance and rule of law concerns are addressed, no amount of discourse and policy design will be able to succeed in this vital area.
