ABSTRACT:"En la cima más alta de Manhattan". Borders, the Market, and Onís's Hispanism In one of the several articles he devoted to discuss his concept of Hispanism, Federico de Onís represented Columbia as strategic location from which to rebuilt what he called "a Spain without Spain". Located between Riverside Drive and Broadway, the university would be the place to push forward the liberal political and cultural agenda brought to an end by the outbreak of the Civil War; furthermore, it would allow to develop new transnational economic alliances between Spain, Latin America and the United States. In this article, I will focus on this and other locations that Onís conceptualized as "border" sites, paying particular attention to the consequences that such a concept had for the constitution of Hispanism as a discipline. Key concept in Onís, the border is in his work the privileged location where Spain constituted itself as a transhistorical entity, particularly in times of imperial expansionism through warfare and commerce. A kind of parallel version of the Manifest Destiny doctrine, Onís's formulation is inextricably linked to the emergence of Pan Americanism, and like it, unthinkable outside the new place of Latin America in the post-1898 global networks.

ABSTRACT:This essay studies César Aira’s works through the notion of the contemporary. Following Giorgio Agamben, Theodore Martin, Julio Premat, and Lauren Berlant, I posit the contemporary to be a critical concept that provides strategies for historicizing the conditions of the ongoing present. In order to frame the discussion of the contemporary in Aira’s texts, I create a vocabulary of three aesthetic figures that lay bare his literary project: the sketch, the brief, and the precarious. The notion of the sketch allows Aira to register the contemporary before it becomes a historical event, whereas the description of his oeuvre as an accumulation of short forms gives the impression of a seemingly endless encyclopedic project. Lastly, I contend that in Aira’s works the contemporary does not come into view through the representation of historical events but through the development of new genres that track the disorienting historicity of crisis. Thus, I argue that Aira’s aesthetic procedure, which he insistently describes as a “flight forward,” serves as a device for registering the contemporary.

ABSTRACT:Among eighteenth-century scholars, Juan Pablo Forner (1756-1797) is widely regarded as Spain’s most fervent apologist. Critical attention, however, has tended to focus almost exclusively on his Oración apologética por la España y su mérito literario (1786), which he wrote in direct response to Masson de Morvillier’s entry on Spain for the Encylopédie méthodique (1782), and has largely overlooked a key digression within his understudied Menippean satire, Exequias de la lengua española, which defends Spain’s colonial record against European criticism. This article attempts to shed light on the Menippean techniques Forner uses to counter the disparaging portrait of Spanish colonial practices, and argues that the menippea enables him to produce one of the eighteenth century’s most insultingly aggressive, rancorous, and ludic defenses of Spanish colonialism. It examines how Forner uses the freedom of invention typical of Menippean satire to rehearse and settle the Valladolid dispute of 1550–1551 between Juan Ginés de Sepúlveda and Bartolomé de Las Casas, and proposes that Forner’s vision of a benevolent linguistic imperialism, which functions primarily as a pretext for assuaging Spain’s colonial guilt, has its origins in Carlos III’s linguistic policy, which imposed Castilian as the sole language of empire in 1770.
摘要:在18世纪的学者中，胡安·巴勃罗·福纳(Juan Pablo Forner, 1756-1797)被广泛认为是西班牙最狂热的护教学家。然而，评论界的注意力往往几乎只集中在他的Oración apolocamtica por la España y su msamurito literario(1786)上，这篇文章是他对马森·德·莫维利耶(Masson de Morvillier)在《encylopsamuthodique》(1782)中关于西班牙的条目的直接回应，而在他未被充分研究的menipian讽刺作品《Exequias de la lengua española》中，他在欧洲的批评下为西班牙的殖民记录辩护，这篇文章在很大程度上忽略了一个关键的偏离主题。本文试图阐明弗纳用menippea的手法来反驳对西班牙殖民行为的轻蔑描写，并认为menippea使他写出了18世纪最具侮辱性、侵略性、敌意和滑稽的西班牙殖民主义辩护之一。它考察了弗纳如何利用梅尼帕讽刺作品中典型的发明自由来排演和解决1550年至1551年胡安·金萨梅斯·德·Sepúlveda和巴尔托洛姆·德·拉斯·卡萨斯之间的巴利亚多利德争端，并提出弗纳对仁慈的语言帝国主义的看法，主要是作为减轻西班牙殖民罪责的借口，其根源在于卡洛斯三世的语言政策，该政策于1770年将卡斯蒂利亚语作为帝国的唯一语言。

ABSTRACT:This article compares two Latin American science fiction stories written around the year 1910: “El día trágico” by Clemente Palma and “El dieciocho de mayo” by Carlos Toro. Both use the real event of the passage of Halley’s Comet near the Earth in May 1910 to produce urban apocalyptic fictions that predict deleterious consequences for humanity. After contextualizing the stories historically, I highlight how they contribute to a transnational literary tradition of cosmic disasters, rely on discursive strategies typical of the narratives of extinction and “last survivor” stories, and incorporate a palingenetic perspective where some of the features of a future society are envisioned. The combination of these traits with a reading of the comet as a metaphor for social change results in hybrid works that can be interpreted as allegorical commentaries of the modern process of secularization. The stories offer us a glimpse into the individual anxieties of the authors facing modernization and ultimately show their inability to imagine the future.
摘要：本文比较了写于1910年前后的两部拉美科幻小说：克莱门特·帕尔马的《El día trágico》和卡洛斯·托罗的《El dieciocho de mayo》。两者都利用1910年5月哈雷彗星在地球附近经过的真实事件来制作城市启示录小说，预测对人类的有害后果。在将这些故事置于历史背景中之后，我强调了它们是如何促进宇宙灾难的跨国文学传统的，依赖于灭绝和“最后幸存者”故事的典型叙事策略，并融入了一种可预见未来社会某些特征的后发视角。这些特征与解读彗星作为社会变革的隐喻相结合，产生了可以被解释为现代世俗化进程的寓言式评论的混合作品。这些故事让我们得以一窥作者面对现代化的个人焦虑，并最终表明他们无法想象未来。
