        LAS ESCRITORAS ESPAÑOLAS DE LA EDAD MODERNA. HISTORIA Y GUÍA PARA LA INVESTIGACIÓN.

        by BARANDA LETURIO, Nieves; CRUZ, Anne J.

        Aunque ignoradas en las historias literarias y culturales, durante los siglos XVI y XVII existieron en España decenas de mujeres que buscaron un espacio en el territorio de las letras. Después de más de treinta años de estudios especializados durante los cuales se han exhumado innumerables documentos y se han desarrollado y probado metodologías específicas para entender a las escritoras como mujeres integradas en su tiempo, es posible llegar a producir un libro como este. Esta historia y guía de investigación representa un avance radical en el conocimiento de las escritoras del Siglo de Oro, porque recoge los resultados más relevantes y los utiliza para configurar un panorama en el que la literatura escrita por las mujeres se plantea, por fin, bajo unos perfiles específicos. Se prescinde de la historia de las individualidades para mostrar en qué medida las escritoras dialogaron con su entorno y modularon los temas, los géneros o la retórica para responder a sus necesidades expresivas.

        by MONTEJO GURRUCHAGA, Lucía; et al.

        En esta obra se reúnen ocho estudios que recorren la historia de la literatura española desde la Edad Media hasta la actualidad, mostrando que una parte importante de nuestro pasado, la que representa a la mitad femenina de la población, debe tener cabida en los manuales, porque también tiene historia. A la crítica sobre el pasado, este libro suma la reflexión de dos escritoras presentes: Rosa Regás y Belén Gopegui. Ambas ponen el contrapunto de la conciencia creadora femenina en una actualidad.

      • Escritoras de entresiglos: un mapa trasatlántico

        Autorías y redes literarias en la prensa argentina (1870-1910)

        by Maria Vicens

        In this book, Escritoras de entresiglos: un mapa trasatlántico, Literature specialist María Vicens addresses a topic of increasing importance for a proper understanding of our cultural past: the material and symbolic context within which a legitimate space was articulated for the Public deed of women in Argentina in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Unlike the growing literature on this subject that has focused almost exclusively on national cases, this study proposes a new look at the transnational networks built by women writers themselves, and that linked geographic spaces of literary production as dissimilar to each other as Peru, Spain, and Argentina - this country, which became the fundamental link between the first two. In this way, next to analyzes referring not only to writers who have long been consecrated by the literary tradition, such as Juana Manuela Gorriti, Clorinda Matto de Turner, or Emilia Pardo Bazán, but also to a wide group of less well-known writers, such as Raymunda Torres y Quiroga, the reader will find a detailed reconstruction of the world of the female press in Argentina between the fall of Rosas and the Great War, accompanied by extensive references to the Peruvian and Spanish contexts from which the writers with an international vocation who interacted with their Argentine counterparts then. An original approach, rich in discoveries, to the worlds of feminine intimacy will also be discovered in these pages at their points of connection with the public sphere in which, not without facing arduous obstacles, these women sought to project themselves as writers. The cartography of this transatlantic map will be appreciated from now on, as never before, in all its complex and fine detail.

        Mujeres de novela

        Quince vidas extraordinarias del siglo XX

        by Echavarren Roselló, Sonsoles

        ¿Crees que tu madre, tu abuela o tu vecina no podrían protagonizar una novela? Pues estás equivocado. A nuestro alrededor hay muchas mujeres extraordinarias que, aunque no hayan ganado un Premio Nobel de Medicina, como Marie Curie, ni escrito un diccionario mientras criaban a sus hijos, como María Moliner, son igualmente excepcionales. Haz la prueba. Observa a tu familia, a las de tus amigos, a esa camarera que te atiende detrás de la barra de un bar o a la mujer, fuerte y decidida que ha cuidado de tus hijos o de tus padres, para que tú puedas seguir tu camino profesional en el hospital, el colegio, la oficina o la fábrica. Tienes entre manos un libro muy especial, casi tanto como estas quince vidas que son un tratado de historia contemporánea. Y que nos muestran cómo ha sido la otra historia, no la de las guerras y los tratados, sino la del día a día, los amores, los hijos, las enfermedades y las muertes. Por estas páginas transitan modistas que cosieron para la burguesía en la España de la posguerra, emigran-tes intrépidas que no dudaron en subirse a un barco o un avión para encontrar el amor en Londres o en Melbourne (Australia) o alemanas que transitaron por la Segunda Guerra Mundial y desafiaron a los soldados de la RDA en esas fron-teras de alambradas. A todas las conozco. Algunas forman parte de mi familia de mi vida, que viene a ser lo mismo. A otras no tuve la fortuna de conocerlas porque ya murieron. Pero sus hijos o nietos se han prestado a compartir su historia conmigo. ¿Aún sigues creyendo que tu madre, tu abuela o tu vecina no merecerían protagonizar una historia de novela de las de antes?

        Etenko y los patines maravillosos

        by Vicente García Oliva / Ester Sánchez

        La imagen que la literatura clásica vino dando de las niñas –y de las mujeres en general– no es sino el reflejo que la propia sociedad tiene de ellas: unos seres pasivos, secundarios, ajenos a la épica y al protagonismo reservado nada más para los varones. Este estereotipo sigue vigente todavía en tres cuartas partes del mundo, África, Asia, Latinoamérica, e incluso en ese llamado “primer mundo”, en el que el recorrido vital y profesional de las jóvenes sigue teniendo grandes obstáculos para poder llegar a lo más alto. Pese a ello, y de la mano de algunos grandes escritores y escritoras, también la literatura infantil y juvenil ofrece otros modelos de niñas listas, ocurrentes, innovadoras, contestatarias, luchadoras contra unos modos de vida que las minusvaloran. Alicia, Pippi, Matilda… podrían ser unos ejemplos de esas chicas que también quieren ser protagonistas de sus propias vidas y son capaces de salirse del papel que construyeron para ellas. Etenko sueña con patinar, con volar, con salirse de esa realidad que la empequeñece. Etenko sabe que hay que luchar contra muchas leyes, incluso contra esa que nos amarra a la tierra: la ley de la gravedad. Por eso los sueños de Etenko son tan importantes, porque la ayudan a construir otro mundo alternativo que, para que pueda existir, primero hay que imaginar. Etenko no necesita hablar para hacernos soñar a nosotros también.

        Borges in Stockholm

        A fiction that dismantles the bad habits of postmodernity.

        by Sonia Dalton

        Winning the Nobel Prize for Literature is the ambition of any self-respecting writer. Especially when he risks the glory of being the first to receive it in his country. After appearing in the favorites lists for several years, it seems that César Aira's time has come to enjoy that moment and that condition.   This fiction narrates the vicissitudes of the writer's journey from Buenos Aires to Stockholm, his dreamy stay in the Nordic city and his return to an Argentina where he is not expected. In the end, the 2024 Nobel Prize for Literature seems to have been awarded to the Eldense writer, with a Galician pedigree, Cesárea Areas.   Through an extensive play on words, this parody tries to dismantle the remnants of postmodernity still in force in the literary and academic worlds. The key is humor, which, in order to be so, cannot fail to be corrosive. Also tenderness, because beneath the greatest ambitions the most insignificant motivations are usually to be found.   It will please whoever manages to laugh, without guilt (or with it), at the most deeply rooted vices on the altars of culture and at the most recalcitrant social stereotypes. In short, whoever wants to take a walk through the nonsense, lift the cobblestones of postmodernity and peek at whatever may be underneath. A new normal?

        Pedagoginga, autonomia e mocambagem

        by da Rosa, Allan

        “Pedagoginga, Autonomia e Mocambagem" harmonizes with some very important spheres: the philosophical, historical and contextualized attention on what was conventionally called black cultures; the consistent implementation of the teaching of history and culture of these matrices from African sources and heads, black feet and hands, the sweaty dream of an autonomous popular education movement on the outskirts of São Paulo at the beginning of the 21st century. pillars, challenges and also contradictions, and with this perspective, he invites the reader to reflect on the educational practice, so the author presents a new pedagogical proposal, new but twisted to ancestral aesthetics and fundamentals, which implies the autonomy of educators and students , as well as a genuine commitment to Afro-Brazilian culture. Here is a book of reflections, doubts, slides and nin hos on a practice of years in Popular Education whose motto is the experience of organizing and implementing independent courses in our peripheries in São Paulo, focused on the black experience of yesterday, the future, today and that of so many lines, spirals and balls of the time that we weave. The book is part of the Insurgências Collection, which was born with the aim of sharing and revolving reflections and practices committed to different ways of thinking about the world, relationships, ways of learning and teaching.
