Amazonian Ecopoetics: Paes Loureiro’s Shamanic Zoophytography Romance Studies Pub Date : 2023-06-01 Patrícia Vieira
ABSTRACT In this article, I discuss the notion of Amazonian ecopoetry. Given that poetry from the Amazon expresses Amazonian culture and that culture from the region is marked by an indistinction between nature and culture, between human and non-human cultures and societies, I argue that Amazonian poetry is necessarily an ecopoetry. I subsequently reflect upon the concept of Amazonian perspectivism

ABSTRACT Excluding women’s art from public attention significantly affects the possibility of building female genealogies of creation. As such, women artists must constantly recreate their foremothers, because all too often history has erased them from view.

ABSTRACT The sonnet ‘Pues cabe tanto en vos del bien del cielo’ by Spanish-Neapolitan poet Francisco de Aldana (1537-78) challenges interpretation through its genre-defying mix of consolatory, philosophic, and amatory elements; in particular, its inclusion of an enigmatic statement by a ventriloquized female figure alien to contemporary Hispanic courtly poetry.

‘Pierre Menard, autor del Quijote’ and the Death of Borges’s Father Romance Studies Pub Date : 2021-09-23 Edwin Williamson
ABSTRACT The young Borges sought to forge a literary destiny of his own, freed from his family’s expectation that he compensate for the literary destiny that had been denied his father, but it was the failure of that endeavour that resulted in the kind of work that actually made his name.

Keeping in mind the type of dialectics adopted in ‘Nueva refutación del tiempo’, and considering the pivotal role of irony in ‘Pierre Menard’
