Abstract:Aqupampa (Desert Sands, 2016) by Pablo Landeo Muñoz is the first novel published in Quechua and the first novel in a Latin American Indigenous language published monolingually––and the author insists on in never to be translated into Spanish. This article focuses primarily on two its aspects: literary genre and multilingualism. It posits Aqupampa as an opening of a field of intertextuality and comparison, inviting a transformation of current comparative frameworks. This analysis builds on the reflection on how translation has played a central role in theories of postcolonial, decolonial, and world literature. Since translation is an asymmetric practice, its asymmetry seeps into literary categorizations and analysis. This study proposes to rethink these frameworks through the lens of multilingualism constructed from the perspective of an Indigenous language. It is an impulse to rethink literary circulation, putting in question the centrality of impact within the literary and cultural sphere, and insisting on values other than vast readership. Aqupampa allows us to conceptualize the participation in world literature of texts that do not travel easily but have different (dis)locations inscribed in their linguistic and genre structures.

ABSTRACT:This study explores the role that the battle of Lepanto (1571) plays in the construction of Spain as a racialized, "tawny" nation (Love's Labour's Lost 1.1.171). By examining the ways in which two literary works—Shakespeare's Othello (c. 1602) and James I's poem Lepanto (1585)—obliquely refer to the battle, and even more inconspicuously to Spain, these pages demonstrate the engagement of each text in the hispanophobic or hispanophilic energies unleashed by this military landmark. Lepanto not only constitutes the greatest military clash in the history of the Mediterranean, but also a sort of representational microcosm of the European wariness towards Iberia. Understanding the nature and workings of this representational dynamics can shed new light on how Iberian otherness was forged in the literary and artistic European world of the 1500s and 1600s, and the ideological bearings that this ethnic characterization owes to the complex Anglo–Italian–Spanish relationship of the period.

ABSTRACT:Recent work in Latin American literary and cultural studies argues that politics has undergone a fundamental shift under globalization and now consists of a prolonged suspension of sovereignty or interregnum. This article examines periods of interregnum in twentieth and twenty-first century Argentina as portrayed in Hernán Ronsino's Pampas Trilogy of La descomposición (2007), Glaxo (2009), and Lumbre (2013). I analyze how Glaxo connects revolution and counter-revolution to pharmaceutical industrialization, amplifying and literalizing a widespread metaphor of health and disease in the political body. I link political poisons and cures to the pharmakon of writing, following Jacques Derrida, and the pharmacology of contemporary capitalism, following Bernard Stiegler. Throughout the trilogy, Ronsino's pharmakon appears in different moments of interregnum as he disarticulates narrative conventions, constructs an afterlife for canonical literature, and participates in the paradoxical preservation and corruption of collective memory during periods of political crisis. The trilogy shows that figures of disease and immunity have long permeated the relationship between literature and community. In Lumbre, the 2001 political and economic crisis exposes this relationship as one of simultaneous disclosure and concealment, exemplary of literature's role in the contemporary interregnum. For Ronsino, pharmacological mechanisms are at the core of political interregna, amplified in the pharmacology of transnational capitalism and framed in writing and photography.

ABSTRACT:A strange animal haunts recent Latin American novels: the hippopotamus. This article analyses the meaning of the presence of these big African mammals in narco-themed literature through a discussion of El ruido de las cosas al caer (2011) by Juan Gabriel Vásquez and Fiesta en la madriguera (2010) by Juan Pablo Villalobos. This presence at first appears to be a mere literary representation of the link between drug and animal trafficking, particularly the narco-fad of showcasing wealth through the establishment of private zoos. Yet the meaning of this presence runs deeper. I argue that, in the texts, the animals embody trauma: the authors employ the hippos to represent and debate the wounds left behind by armed conflict and structural violence. Animals occupy several positions and meanings in the novels. Their living or dead bodies, their sounds and silences express the materiality of life and death as well as unspeakable pain. Their undisputed innocence as animals caught in the crossfire opens up the possibility of questioning the criminalizing discourse of the drug war. Their commodified animal bodies speak of the trauma of capitalism and colonialism.
摘要：一种奇特的动物萦绕在最近的拉美小说中：河马。本文通过对胡安·加布里埃尔·巴斯克斯的《El ruido de las cosas al caer》（2011）和胡安·巴勃罗·维拉洛博斯的《Fiesta en la madriguera》（2010）的讨论，分析了这些大型非洲哺乳动物在毒品主题文学中存在的意义。这种存在起初似乎只是毒品和动物贩运之间联系的文学表现，尤其是通过建立私人动物园来展示财富的毒品时尚。然而，这种存在的意义更深。我认为，在文本中，动物体现了创伤：作者用河马来代表和辩论武装冲突和结构性暴力留下的创伤。动物在小说中占有多种地位和意义。他们活着或死去的身体，他们的声音和沉默表达了生与死的物质性以及难以言说的痛苦。作为被卷入交火的动物，他们无可争议的清白为质疑毒品战争的犯罪言论打开了可能性。他们商品化的动物身体讲述了资本主义和殖民主义的创伤。
