Abstract:This article explores the Turkish telenovela phenomenon that has swept Latin America since 2014 and, more recently, the Hispanic media market in the US. Drawing on media scholar Marwan Kraidy's concept of hybridity, the article examines the processes and conditions that created fertile ground for the enthusiastic reception of dizis, the name by which these series are known in Turkey. The article briefly examines the cross-pollination that is taking place between the Turkish dizi, an already hybrid genre, and the Latin American telenovela. It suggests that these cross-cultural exchanges are fueling a renewal of the Latin American telenovela after years of decline. The article's analysis of the internationally successful melodrama ¿Qué culpa tiene Fatmagul? provides an in-depth example for the discussion. The paper explores the reasons why this telenovela in particular has resonated strongly with audiences all around Latin America.

ABSTRACT:Magic and necromancy play an essential dramatic role in exemplo 11 of Don Juan Manuel’s celebrated Conde Lucanor. Within magic, scholars have mostly focused on the role that tiempo mágico or magical time plays in the dramatic economy of the story, overlooking the equally important aspect of space within the magical illusion. The representation of space is vague, imprecise, and often contradictory. This study looks at the spaces that divide the real world from the illusory world, arguing that the underground spaces, which Manueline scholarship has accepted as factual, exist only in the Dean of Santiago’s imagination. The magical subterranean loci, this paper concludes, are employed to evoke the local myths of Hercules’s cave and the traditional stories about a family of Ylláns who allegedly practiced necromancy in Toledo, not to represent them as real.

RESUMEN:Las invasiones japonesas de Corea (1592–1598), conocidas como Imjin Waeran, constituyen uno de los conflictos asiáticos que mayor impacto ha tenido en la historia mundial, y, sin embargo, es escaso el interés que estos hechos han despertado entre los investigadores contemporáneos. Por el contrario, los cronistas hispánicos de los siglos XVI y XVII sí supieron apreciar la trascendencia de una guerra que transformó el devenir político de Japón, Corea y China. A partir de la ingente cantidad de información que estas crónicas atesoran sobre este conflicto, el presente artículo analiza el impacto que tuvo en la literatura peninsular cercana a los hechos, y examina las marcas del discurso narrativo europeo. El objetivo primor-dial de la investigación no es otro que proponer un marco interpretativo distinto respecto del que se ha venido planteando acerca de este suceso.Abstract (Lang: English):The Japanese invasions of Korea (1592–1598), known as Imjin Waeran, represent some of the many East Asian conflicts that had a great impact on world history, and yet these events have aroused little interest among contemporary researchers. In contrast, Hispanic chroniclers of the 16th and 17th centuries did understand the significance of this war that transformed the political future of Japan, Korea, and China. Taking advantage of the vast amount of information that the peninsular chronicles reveal about this conflict, this article analyzes the impact of the Imjin Waeran on Spanish peninsular literature around these events, and examines the imprint of European narrative discourse. The main aim of this investigation is to propose a different interpretive framework from what has been suggested thus far about this historic event.

RESUMEN:El artículo revisa el papel de las filosofías y religiones de la India en el canon sapiencial defendido por el intelectual mexicano José Vasconcelos. Con ese fin, se propone un análisis retrospectivo invertido, que comienza con el testimonio de obras tardías como Lógica orgánica (1945), Manual de filosofía (1940) e Historia del pensamiento filosófico (1937), hasta llegar finalmente a sus famosos Estudios indostánicos (1921). Esta forma de proceder permite notar la centralidad de la noción de síntesis no solo respecto a la fascinación temprana de Vasconcelos por la India sino asimismo a su posterior desencanto con dicha tradición. Luego, con el apoyo de la indología, se establece exactamente qué India inspiró el ideal vasconcelista de una “sabiduría sintética”, arrojando nueva luz sobre la complejidad de su “orientalismo” conforme al modelo reiterativo de “un orientalismo dentro de otro”. Como epílogo, se subraya la utilidad de la indología en el estudio del orientalismo hispanoamericano en general. Abstract (Lang: English):This article reviews the role of the philosophies and religions of India in the canon of wisdom advocated by the 20th-century Mexican intellectual José Vasconcelos. To that end, I perform a reverse chronological analysis that retrieves the testimony of late works like Lógica orgánica (1945), Manual de filosofía (1940) and Historia del pensamiento filosófico (1937), and finally reaches his celebrated Estudios indostánicos (1921). This methodology allows me to underscore the important role played by the notion of synthesis, not only regarding Vasconcelos’s early fascination with India but also regarding his later disenchantment with that tradition. After this, with the support of Indology, I establish just which India inspired Vasconcelos’s ideal of a “synthetic wisdom,” thus casting new light on the complexity of his orientalism, according to the iterative model “one orientalism within another.” By way of epilogue, I note the usefulness of Indology for the study of Hispano-American orientalism in general.

Queer Exposures is a timely study of Roberto Bolañ o’s fiction and poetry through the lenses of sexuality and photography, two significant but under studied themes in the Chilean author’s work. Drawing from queer theory and visual studies, Ryan Long brings a fresh perspective to Bolaño scholarship. Queer characters and homoerotic themes are frequent in his fiction (Ernesto San Epifanio and Piel Divina in The Savage Detectives; Lorenza in Distant Star; Amalfitano in 2666; Amalfitano and Padilla in Woes of the True Policeman; Mauricio Silva in “Mauricio (‘The Eye’) Silva,” among others), as are referen ces to photography (“Photos”; “Labyrinth”; Distant Star). While the volume deals with these topics in literal ways, it also does so more figuratively, for example by examining the photographic quality of certain narratives and poems or the way a queer perspective introduces a dif er ent relationship to temporality. The book builds upon the themes of sexuality and photography in Bolaño to illustrate and pursue a mode of reading that resists closure and favors open ended interpretations. A key concept explored in the study is that of exposure, a notion taken from Bolañ o’s writings. Exposure translates to intemperie, a word Bolaño uses to signify being out in the open, without shelter, exposed to the ele ments. It is

ABSTRACT:Toxins lurk in the soy fields around a small Argentine town in Samanta Schweblin’s 2014 novel Distancia de rescate. On the surface, Schweblin’s novel appears to use supernatural phenomena to criticize industrial soy production and its use of toxic herbicides. Current criticism, in turn, sees the novel as an extension of the Latin American fantastic, filtered through an ecocritical or Anthropocene lens. However, I argue that Schweblin’s novel, read alongside her short story “Conservas,” portrays a more complex relationship between flesh and the environment. Drawing on the ideas of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, I argue that the chiasm, or crossing over, of flesh mimics the structure of transgenic organisms so that the characters resemble genetically modified soy. I show how Schweblin portrays flesh as reversible, interconnected, and increasingly intoxicated. Following Julia Kristeva and Jacques Derrida, she uses an abject counteraesthetic to blend nature and artifice and to question traditional distinctions between human and environment, subject and object that emerge from Kantian philosophy and continue into the aesthetic tradition of the sublime. In their place, Schweblin suggests an already intoxicated flesh that forms the basis of the categories of subject and object and an abject, toxic sublime, present in flesh and fiction.
摘要：萨曼塔·施韦布林（Samanta Schweblin）2014年的小说《遥远的距离》（Distancia de rescale）中，毒素潜伏在阿根廷小镇周围的大豆田里。从表面上看，施韦布林的小说似乎用超自然现象来批评工业化大豆生产及其使用有毒除草剂。反过来，当前的批评将这部小说视为拉丁美洲奇幻小说的延伸，通过生态批判或人类世的镜头进行过滤。然而，我认为，施韦布林的小说与她的短篇小说《音乐学院》一起阅读，描绘了肉体与环境之间更复杂的关系。根据Maurice Merleau-Ponti的观点，我认为肉的交叉或交叉模仿了转基因生物的结构，使其特征类似于转基因大豆。我展示了施韦布林如何将肉体描绘成可逆的、相互关联的、越来越陶醉的。继朱莉娅·克里斯特娃和雅克·德里达之后，她用一种卑鄙的反美学来融合自然和技巧，质疑康德哲学中产生并延续到崇高美学传统中的人与环境、主体与客体之间的传统区别。取而代之的是，施韦布林暗示了一种已经陶醉的肉体，它构成了主体和客体类别的基础，以及一种存在于肉体和小说中的卑鄙、有毒的崇高。

I show how Schweblin portrays flesh as reversible, interconnected, and increasingly intoxicated. Following Julia Kristeva and Jacques Derrida, she uses an abject counteraesthetic to blend nature and artifice and to question traditional distinctions between human and environment, subject and object that emerge from Kantian philosophy and continue into the aesthetic tradition of the sublime. In their place, Schweblin suggests an already intoxicated flesh that forms the basis of the categories of subject and object and an abject, toxic sublime, present in flesh and fiction.","PeriodicalId":44625,"journal":{"name":"HISPANIC REVIEW","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47604072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
