Contributions of articles for electronic journal Verbum et Lingua

The electronic magazine Verbum et Lingua: Didáctica, lengua y cultura will dedicate its 16th edition (July-December 2020) to the topic of Chican@s studies. Grosso modo, for Ornelas, Ramírez and Padilla (1975), the Chican@s studies have made a great effort to integrate four main constructs: race, class, culture and gender/sexuality. These constructs are present in the work of different artists who express their ideology in order to politicize and lead their community(ies) to change. According to Macias (2018), the Chican@s field of study seeks to make research holistic and multidisciplinary, as well as inclusive, comparative, grounded, up-to-date and critical. At the same time, it seeks to apply the results to social justice, education, as well as to the change of the global Chican@ communities.

The anomaly in question(s)

TRANS- 26 (2020)

Of all the imaginative freedoms literature has to offer, the anomaly is certainly the most radical tool that fiction can exploit. However, the anomaly has often been described as a voluntary or involuntary infraction of norms and rules, and this concept has been linked to the “abnormal”. For a long time, the terminological confusion that resulted has hindered a precise reflection on the intrinsic characteristics of the concept of anomaly. Which framework can be designed for these irregularities? How can one build a discourse that preserves the singularity of the “deviation” that the anomaly opposes to norms and normality, without confusing it with the “abnormal”? How does the anomaly violate social, psychological and/or artistic parameters and established frameworks? How does it challenge the reader’s traditional patterns of reception and which new fields does it open to them?

What remains of postmodernity?

Since the 70s, the word postmodernity has articulated a tendency, a state of mind, and a condition that resists conceptualization or complete definition. Although the intellectual community has agreed to situate J. F. Lyotard and his key work, The Postmodern condition (1979), as the origin of the debate on this phenomenon, the truth is that the literary theorist Ihab Hassan had already used the word systematically in 1971. Since that date, the notion has spread across the fields of Literature, Architecture, Visual Arts, and the Social Sciences. These are two of the problems that one faces when approaching the surface of the postmodern phenomenon: its lack of definition and its ambiguous periodization.

Filiation, the imagination and society

Líneas journal no. 9

Se plonger dans l'étude du lien social, sous l'angle de la filiation, à travers les témoignages et les traditions orales, les textes juridiques, historiques, les représentations littéraires et artistiques revient à affiner nos connaissances sur la complexité de sociétés en perpétuelle évolution : la filiation et ses représentations témoignent-t-elles d’un désir de reproduction à l’identique ou engagent-elles des dynamiques de transformation venant créer des brèches dans l’ordre sociopolitique institué, visant parfois à le révolutionner ? Ce numéro 9 de Líneas, « Filiation, imaginaires et sociétés », s’intéressera aux formes et aux représentations de la filiation, en Espagne et en Amérique latine, dans une perspective diachronique. Seront particulièrement appréciées les contributions faisant dialoguer représentations sociales (sociologie, anthropologie, histoire, études culturelles…) et représentations esthétiques (littérature, cinéma, photographie…).

All Fontanarrosa: The Work of a Complete Humourist

When the Argentine Roberto Fontanarrosa passed away in 2007, a national day of mourning was declared and his funeral was attended by thousands. Although Fontanarrosa was much loved and both the man and his works have received public recognition time and again, there are very few published academic works on his œuvre to this day. This proposed anthology seeks to fill this gap by paying attention to Fontanarrosa’s work as a whole

The War of Spain, between emptiness and excess

Repercussions, representations and reconstructions of conflicts marked by excess (1936-2014)

Par son déchaînement de bruit et de fureur, la guerre d’Espagne a affecté les acteurs du conflit aussi bien que ses victimes et ses témoins, entraînant l’intervention de puissances étrangères, l’engagement d’intellectuels du monde entier et l’exode massif de citoyens espagnols. Son retentissement a été tel qu’elle a inspiré une définition officielle de la notion de guerre civile lors des conventions de Genève de 1949 afin de combler un vide juridique et de définir un cadre légal qui protège les civils des excès de ce type d’affrontement. Ces dernières années, la guerre civile espagnole a été étudiée sous différents angles, mais jamais ses représentations n’ont été analysées dans une perspective pluridisciplinaire qui s’attache au traitement de l’espace et des acteurs en mettant en regard tout ce qui a, intentionnellement ou non, disparu, laissé une trace ou été surexposé. Penser la guerre d’Espagne revient à poser la question de l’excès, que celui-ci soit une vacuité exacerbée traduisant l’absence – figurale, mémorielle, architecturale ou verbale – ou un trop-plein marqué par une prise de position ou une sur-médiatisation de faits, d’acteurs et d’espaces.
