ABSTRACT:Dominican writer Virginia Elena Ortea (1866–1903) has been largely ignored in literary scholarship, and few critics include her in the dialogue surrounding Latin American modernismo. This literary movement was traditionally characterized as male-dominated, apolitical, and marked by preciosista imagery, but contemporary studies by critics such as Gwen Kirkpatrick and Cathy Jrade have debunked its monolithic nature, as it also germinated political and even feminist texts by some overlooked or marginalized writers. In her collection of short stories titled Risas y lágrimas (1901), Virginia Elena Ortea reshapes traditionally modernist preciosista imagery to respond to sexism within the early stages of modernismo and to dialogue with canonical authors such as Rubén Darío, Julián del Casal, and José Martí. In this article, I examine Ortea’s feminist adaptation of modernist tropes such as tropical flowers, winged creatures, and the femme fatale in the stories “En tu glorieta” and “Reverie.” Through the re-imagination and questioning of metaphorical meanings of such tropes, Ortea engages with women’s subjectivity, marginalization, and creativity, and asserts her place as a modernist woman writer.
摘要:多明尼加作家弗吉尼亚·埃琳娜·奥尔蒂亚(1866-1903)在文学学术界一直被忽视,很少有评论家将她纳入围绕拉美现代主义的对话中。传统上,这场文学运动的特点是男性主导、非政治性,并以珍贵的意象为标志,但格温·柯克帕特里克和凯西·拉德等评论家的当代研究已经揭穿了其单一性,因为它也催生了一些被忽视或边缘化的作家的政治甚至女权主义文本。在她的短篇小说集《Risas y lágrimas》(1901)中,弗吉尼亚·埃琳娜·奥尔蒂亚重塑了传统的现代主义Preciosta形象,以回应现代主义早期阶段的性别歧视,并与鲁本·达里奥、朱利安·德尔·卡萨尔和何塞·马蒂等经典作家对话。在这篇文章中,我考察了奥尔蒂亚对现代主义比喻的女权主义改编,如热带花朵、有翅膀的生物和故事“En tu gloreta”和“Reverie”中的蛇蝎美人。通过对这些比喻的隐喻意义的重新想象和质疑,奥尔蒂亚参与了女性的主体性、边缘化和创造力,并确立了她作为现代主义女作家的地位。

ABSTRACT:The legacy of dictatorial violence in Latin America has called into question the possibility of linear histories, instead demanding a focus on the way the past continues to surface in the present. Yet, as one Chilean performance and its archives reveal, thinking about history spatially as opposed to temporally reveals the way that the future can also inflect meaning in the present. This article traces the history of a building in Santiago that first served as the stage for an anti-dictatorship performance by students at the University of Chile, and was then subsequently taken over as a center for surveillance by Augusto Pinochet’s secret police. Led by philosopher Ronald Kay, this art action, called Tentativa Artaud, emerged from a seminar including artists such as Raúl Zurita, Catalina Parra and Diamela Eltit, who would explore similar performance tactics in their later work. What began as a secretive performance about sound and language in Antonin Artaud’s writing gained subsequent meaning when the same building became the site of violent espionage. This performance, as I will argue, confuses the temporality of past and future by demonstrating that in the context of surveillance, spaces can be charged with meaning that resonates across time.
