The 1953 poetry notebook Poesia negra de expressão portuguesa [Black Poetry of Portuguese Expression] was first work that brought together negritude poetry from across the Lusophone African world. Edited by Angolan intellectual Mário Pinto de Andrade and Sao Tomean poet Francisco Tenreiro, the short collection declares itself an anti-colonial intervention into the negritude movements underway in the Francophone world since the 1930s. Little has been made, however, of the notebook’s dedication to Cuban poet Nicolás Guillén or the inclusion of Guillén’s poem “Son Número 6” [Son Number 6] in the collection. This article argues that the juxtaposition of Guillén’s “Son No. 6” with the Lusophone poems consolidates an alternative transatlanticism that emphasizes Guillén as a black poet, rather than themes of racial and cultural mixing, and thus shifts the circuits of collaboration away from francophone negritude's colony-metropole axis to the South. Poetic techniques such as call-and-response and the socially-embedded, metonymic construction of blackness shared among Guillén and Lusophone poets Agostinho Neto, Noémia de Sousa, and António Jacinto show how the notebook establishes the origins of both negritude poetry and negritude identity in the trans-Atlantic poetic conversation itself.
1953年出版的诗歌笔记本Poesia negra de express o portuesa[葡萄牙语表达的黑人诗歌]是第一部汇集了整个葡语非洲世界的黑人诗歌的作品。由安哥拉知识分子Mário Pinto de Andrade和圣多美诗人Francisco Tenreiro编辑,这部短篇文集宣称自己是对20世纪30年代以来法语世界正在进行的黑人运动的反殖民干预。然而,很少有人提到这本笔记本是献给古巴诗人Nicolás guillsamen的,也很少有人提到guillsamen的诗“Son Número 6”收录在这本笔记本中。本文认为,将吉列姆的《儿子6号》与葡语诗歌并放在一起,巩固了另一种跨大西洋主义,强调吉列姆是黑人诗人,而不是种族和文化混合的主题,从而将合作的电路从讲法语的黑人的殖民地-大都市轴线转移到南方。诸如“呼唤与回应”的诗歌技巧、社会嵌入的、对黑人的转义构建,这些都是吉尔-海姆和葡萄牙语诗人Agostinho Neto、nosamia de Sousa和António Jacinto所共有的,这些都显示了笔记本如何在跨大西洋诗歌对话中确立了黑人诗歌和黑人身份的起源。

Transatlantic Studies: Latin America, Iberia, and Africa explores the field of Iberian and Latin American Transatlantic Studies to discuss its function within our pedagogical practices, to lay out its research methodologies, to explain its theoretical underpinnings, and to showcase--and question--its potential through 35 essays by the field’s leading scholars and critics. A central aim of this volume is to make the case for an understanding of transatlantic cultural history over the last two centuries that transcends national and linguistic boundaries, as well as traditional academic configurations, focusing instead on the continuities and fractures between Latin America, the Iberian Peninsula, and Spanish and Portuguese-speaking Africa.

In this chapter, we discuss how a glottopolitical approach to the role of language academies may trigger a revision of the basic postulates behind the history of the Spanish language (understood as an epistemic paradigm that has dominated the field of linguistic history). Such approach reveals transatlanticity as a condition of our object (the Spanish language), one that itself reveals the permanently contested nature of its history.

Mexican writer and intellectual Alfonso Reyes has historically enjoyed a strong reputation as a Hispanist. He was one of the first Latin American intellectuals to engage Spain in the 20th century, becoming close to figures such as José Ortega y Gasset in the 1920, as well as a privileged reader of Góngora in the Spanish American context. Later on, Reyes was a crucial figure in allowing the Spanish Exile in Mexico to integrate to the tissue of Mexico’s cultural field. The affinities that Reyes had with his Spanish counterparts have obscured the fact that, alongside his Hispanism, he also was a strong critic of the idea of Spain as the center of Spanish-language culture and the false symmetry between Spain and Latin America as equal parts of an equation. Using his highly critical Vísperas de España as a departing point, the proposed paper will argue that Reyes was in fact “Provincializing Spain”, to borrow Dipesh Chakrabarty’s expression, that is challenging the status of Spain as the Transatlantic metropolis and questioning the supposed spiritual unity between Spain and Latin America posed by intellectuals at the time.
墨西哥作家和知识分子阿方索·雷耶斯历来享有西班牙语学家的盛誉。他是20世纪最早与西班牙接触的拉美知识分子之一,在20世纪20年代与约瑟夫·奥尔特加·加塞特等人物关系密切,也是西班牙裔美国人背景下Góngora的特权读者。后来,雷耶斯是一个关键人物,使西班牙流亡墨西哥融入墨西哥文化领域的组织。雷耶斯与西班牙同行的亲密关系掩盖了这样一个事实,即除了他的西班牙语主义,他还强烈批评西班牙是西班牙语文化中心的观点,以及西班牙和拉丁美洲之间平等的错误对称。以他高度批判的Vísperas de España作为出发点,本文将论证雷耶斯实际上是“将西班牙省化”,借用Dipesh Chakrabarty的说法,这是在挑战西班牙作为跨大西洋大都市的地位,并质疑当时知识分子所提出的西班牙与拉丁美洲之间所谓的精神统一。
