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。

Abstract (Lang: English):This essay examines two understudied documents from eighteenth-century Lima: the 1715 and 1716 Oraciones delivered by Pedro de Peralta Barnuevo about his rectorship at San Marcos University. In their construction, both speeches capture colonial bureaucratism, transatlantic self-imagination, and baroque academicism at a mature stage in the development of colonial criollo identity. I examine these dynamics through the analysis of three rhetorical gestures: the use of classical panegyrists to establish critical similarities and differences between ancient academic institutions and San Marcos, the strategic manipulation of Latin citations, and the characterization of the history of San Marcos as a new yet deep archive. Through these strategies, I propose, Peralta suggests two different types of past: a “classical” antiquity rooted in Rome, and an “archival” antiquity that belongs to Lima. The coordination of these two pasts dramatizes the positioning of the criollo intellectual community in the transatlantic Republic of Letters.

Abstract (Lang: English):This article examines the politics and erotics of Catalan nationalism in the 2004 novel Lluny de l’horitzó perfumat (Far from the Perfumed Horizon), written in Catalan by the Palestinian-Catalan writer Salah Jamal and set in Barcelona during the Transition to Democracy. The article argues that the narrator’s ability to “pass”—across ethnoracial, religious, linguistic, socioeconomic, and political lines—is not only an individual’s tactic for securing social mobility, but also a gauge of shifting national narratives in the Transition. The article shows how socioeconomic class played into racial constructs that, in turn, supported the nationalist reimagining of Catalonia as a space apart during the Transition. By way of conclusion, the article proposes one of the novel’s many satirical monikers, “Moroland,” as a keyword for conceptualizing Catalonia as a transnational space of passing. “Moroland” offers a theory for rethinking Transition-era Catalonia in terms of the instability and performativity of identity.
摘要:本文考察了2004年由巴勒斯坦裔加泰罗尼亚作家萨拉赫·贾马尔(Salah Jamal)以加泰罗尼亚语写成的小说《远离芬芳的地平线》(Lluny de l 'horitzó perfumat)中加泰罗尼亚民族主义的政治和情色。小说背景设定在西班牙向民主过渡时期的巴塞罗那。文章认为，叙述者“穿越”——跨越种族、宗教、语言、社会经济和政治界限——的能力不仅是个人确保社会流动性的策略，也是过渡时期国家叙事变化的衡量标准。这篇文章展示了社会经济阶层如何在种族建构中发挥作用，而种族建构反过来又支持了民族主义者在过渡时期将加泰罗尼亚重新想象为一个独立的空间。作为结语，这篇文章提出了小说中许多具有讽刺意味的绰号之一“莫洛兰”，作为将加泰罗尼亚概念化为一个跨国过境空间的关键词。《莫洛兰》提供了一种理论，从身份的不稳定性和表现性的角度重新思考过渡时期的加泰罗尼亚。

Abstract (Lang: English):The lives that inhabit Roberto Bolaño's fiction serve as a contestation to the tenets of the Enlightenment. In this respect, water plays a key role in the author's poetics: a metaphor for defeat and madness which both reflects and muddies the horrors of Reason. By examining Bolaño's ability to create complex fictional biographies, this article identifies how these characters’ encounters with watery metaphors reveal the depths of Bolaño’s critique of the Enlightenment belief in an all-knowing and all-seeing Reason. To achieve our goal, we explore the lives of characters from four of his novels: 2666, Monsieur Pain, Amulet, and By Night in Chile. This article demonstrates how Bolaño conceives characters who are asked to take a stand in a world of diminishing certainties and changing tides. In doing so, he superimposes characters with minimal variations on the same backdrop of an ethically compromised world, like a scientist trying to pinpoint the exact moment that got us to where we now are.
