ABSTRACT:The presence of the telephone throughout the work of Roberto Arlt calls for closer examination, for although this sound reproduction technology functions differently in the newspaper writings and novels that made him famous, it always allows this sophisticated media theorist to explore the expanding role of networks in everyday life in early twentieth-century Buenos Aires. Unlike the publics created and catered to by radio or newspapers, the telephone exhibits a unique combination of intimacy and immediacy that depends on a widely available network of wires extending across the city. After tracing some of the history of Argentine telephony and Arlt’s intersections with it, I review a series of aguafuertes in order to reveal how he understands the specificity of the medium as well as how he occasionally attempts to render this textual space a telephonic one. Turning to his novels, I then address his depictions of the telephone network as a key one among the many that, taken together, constituted a constantly changing city. As I argue, attending to the telephone—and its contrasts to the phonograph and radio—complements other scholarly work on Arlt’s engagements with visual media like cinema and photography. Often appearing alongside each other in his works, telephony sharpens print as an instrument of media theory as the latter, whether as novel or newspaper, retains the crucial ability and responsibility to situate the former.

ABSTRACT:Just like other Spanish-American modernista poets, Amado Nervo was a regular practitioner of the chronicle. Evidencing the influence of Manuel Gutiérrez Nájera, Ángel de Campo y Valle “Micrós”, and even Luis G. Urbina, his chronicles alternated with those penned by Rubén Darío in newspapers and magazines across the Spanish-speaking world. And yet, they are the least studied aspect of his oeuvre. Seen through a sociological lens, particularly his chronicles about women’s fashion constitute valuable material to examine cultural processes at work at the turn-of-the century conformation of a peripheral market and the very neocolonial order in the region. Moreover, in their interpellation of a feminine reader, in which these chronicles purportedly perform a transvestite form of journalistic writing, they actually participate in the configuration of both emergent subjectivities held on to the new economic order and to the strictness of gender roles in the nascent local consumer society.

ABSTRACT:In this essay, I explore how Gertrudis Gómez de Avellaneda and Emilia Pardo Bazán process their traumatic encounters with sexual and gender discrimination within the intimate space of correspondence. Though the two never met in person, they shared the experience of being rejected by the Real Academia Española—Gómez de Avellaneda in 1853, and Pardo Bazán in 1889, 1891 and 1912. Writing to an already dead Gómez de Avellaneda, Pardo Bazán creates what I refer to as a necro-feminist bond: a political alliance between embodied and disembodied subjects fighting against patriarchal biopolitics. By focusing on the affective contours of each woman’s correspondences, I trace the ways in which they respond to the cultural imperative to repress their anger at social injustice while devising oblique forms of communicating their rage through sarcasm and irony. Finally, I argue that these epistolary corpuses act as a counterpoint to the Academia’s misogyny and serve as a productive site for considering non-normative modes of expressing and forming collectivities around traumatic experiences.
摘要：在这篇文章中，我探讨了格特鲁迪斯·戈麦斯·德·阿维拉内达和埃米莉亚·帕尔多·巴赞是如何在亲密的通信空间中处理他们与性和性别歧视的创伤遭遇的。尽管两人从未见过面，但他们都有被西班牙皇家科学院拒绝的经历——1853年的戈麦斯·德·阿维拉内达和1889年、1891年和1912年的帕尔多·巴赞。Pardo Bazán在写给已经去世的Gómez de Avellaneda的信中，创造了我所说的“死亡的女权主义纽带”：一种在与父权制生物政治作斗争的具体主体和非实体主体之间的政治联盟。通过关注每一位女性通信的情感轮廓，我追踪了她们如何回应文化要求，压抑对社会不公正的愤怒，同时设计了通过讽刺和讽刺来表达愤怒的间接形式。最后，我认为，这些书信体语料库与学院的厌女症形成了对比，并成为了一个富有成效的场所，可以考虑围绕创伤经历表达和形成集体关系的非规范模式。

ABSTRACT:This essay reads the collection of documentary short films entitled Bem Vindo a São Paulo (2004) as exemplifying the challenges of producing a latter day city-symphony. If early twentieth century films set out to capture and make sense of modern cities through images and visual practices, many of the different shorts in Bem Vindo a São Paulo suggest instead that global cities like São Paulo can no longer be made intelligible through visual means. In this context, sound – words, music and sound – is brought in to bear the weight that the visual can no longer sustain and serve as the register in which proximity and sense are promised.
摘要：本文以2004年出版的《Bem Vindo a São Paulo》系列纪录片短片为例，阐述了制作当代城市交响乐的挑战。如果说20世纪初的电影开始通过图像和视觉实践来捕捉和理解现代城市，那么《圣保罗的未来》中的许多不同短片则表明，像圣保罗这样的全球城市再也无法通过视觉手段变得清晰易懂。在这种背景下，声音——文字、音乐和声音——被引入来承受视觉无法再维持的重量，并成为承诺接近和感觉的寄存器。

Abstract:Latin Americanism is best understood as a political-theological formation, which produces the "justification" for its literary-philosophic enterprise as a sacrifice unto the payment of debts, the fulfillment of obligations, and, generally, its servitude to the social order. This article advances the argument that Latin Americanist critique has been, despite its best intentions, a deeply criollo endeavor (often with the racialized valences that the signifier suggests). A Spanish colonial heritage and a certain racialized inscription that works to immunize the Latin Americanist endeavor against theoretical speculation has resulted in a Latin Americanism that has been highly inconsequential: belletrism or "political engagement" as the twin face of a field that can too often only understand itself in terms of its service to a power from which it is at pains to maintain its difference. Engaging decolonial thought, on the one hand, and liberal literary criticism, on the other, I argue that Latin Americanist critique's missed encounter with deconstruction remains a symptomatic scene of its failure to emerge from its criollo heritage.
