| | | Title | | Memory, History, and the Contemporary Novel. PhD Dissertation in English.
| | | Publisher | | University of Oxford | | | Publication place | | Oxford | | | Publication year | | 2000 | | | Page | | 357 leaves | | | Volume | | | | | Issue | | | | | Notes | | Keenan writes, "This thesis aims to examine the models of memory proposed in five contemporary novels: Gabriel Garcia Marquez' One Hundred Years of Solitude, E.L. Doctorow's The Book of Daniel, Milan Kundera's The Book of Laughter and Forgetting, Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children and Toni Morrison's Beloved. I will interweave my discussions of these novels' ideas on memory with considerations of wider debates about repressed/false memories and memorialisation, and I will also discuss various concepts of memory found in the discourses of neuroscience, cognitive psychology, psychoanalysis, history, and literature." | | | URL | | | |

| | | Title | | New World Romance and Authorship
| | | Publisher | | Yale University | | | Publication place | | New Haven, CT | | | Publication year | | 2005 | | | Page | | | | | Volume | | | | | Issue | | | | | Notes | | "This dissertation argues that the recourse to romance in post-realist New World writing was accompanied by a re-conceptualization of the figure of the author. While it is true that American romance in its first incarnation exemplified the generic norms of romance, this dissertation focuses on a later generation of romancers, self consciously writing 'against' realism in an attempt to 'return' to romance. I dub this movement 'New World romance'; and hold that its primary innovation was to replace the traditional plot of romance of voyage, return and heterosexual union with a meta-textual plot that concerns the attempted but failed to return to the generic 'innocence' of traditional romance after the collapse of realism. In the process of writing back to romance, the writer sheds the figural trappings of the realist author and adopts a new identity. In 'the narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket' Edgar Allen Poe transforms realism from an epistemological project into a rhetorical ploy meant to dupe his readers. The author becomes a despotic figure, subjecting the reader to the tyranny of his fictions. Jorge Luis Borges explores the political consequences of such overweening authority in 'Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis, Tertius' and proposes instead a dialogical model of the writer: the author as translator. What happens when the real is no longer the exclusive property of an author, or even a government? Culture defines reality, and when cultures come into conflict, the 'Clash of civilizations' ensues. In 'El reino de este mundo' and 'Black Tambourine' Alejo Carpentier and Hart Crane manage 'the clash' by transcribing cultural conflict into musical form, thereby transforming the author into a jazzman. Finally, in 'Cien años de soledad' Gabriel García Márquez re-imagines the encounter between reader and text as the encounter between Echo and Narcissus. Arrogating upon himself the authority to condemn the reader to perpetual longing, García Márquez becomes a kind of deity, thereby adopting a role as author that reaches beyond realism, beyond romanticism to the very origins of literature in myth and romance." | | | URL | | | |

| | | Title | | "No quiero que a mí me lean como a mis antepasados," Palabra de América
| | | Publisher | | Seix Barral | | | Publication place | | Barcelona, Spain | | | Publication year | | 2004 | | | Page | | 104-111 | | | Volume | | | | | Issue | | | | | Notes | | Iwasaki strongly states his desire not to be compared with anybody and insists that no author wants to be compared to authors such as Vargas Llosa, García Márquez, Fuentes, and Cortázar, among others. In other words, today's authors will not be the same as these great artists from the past, and it is harder for new authors to become world-renown because of the expectations that they have to fulfill. | | | URL | | | |

| | | Title | | Our men in Paris? "Mundo Nuevo", the Cuban Revolution, and the politics of cultural freedom
| | | Publisher | | The University of Texas at Austin | | | Publication place | | Texas, United States | | | Publication year | | 2007 | | | Page | | 260 p. | | | Volume | | | | | Issue | | | | | Notes | | (Abstract) "The Paris-based literary magazine Mundo Nuevo disseminated some of the most original and experimental Latin American writing from 1966--the date of its founding--to 1968, the year its editor-in-chief resigned and the magazine moved to Buenos Aires. Despite its fame, the magazine's role in the Boom and the cultural Cold War has been misunderstood by critics, who have either viewed Mundo Nuevo as a tool for CIA propaganda (it was recipient of CIA funds for two years) or non-political, avant-garde magazine...as much of the material from the archives in the Congress for Cultural Freedom demonstrates, Mundo Nuevo was set up by the Congress as a bulwark against the Cuban Revolution, and used the rhetoric of disinterested, cosmopolitan literature to counter the Revolution's model of literature engagée."
