A WORLD IN WORDS A LIFE IN TEXTS KARTONIERT (TB)

This volume presents a number of close readings of Latin American literary and cultural
phenomena. The overarching theme of the collection is the revision of the accepted view of
Latin American national identities as represented in twentieth-century Latin American
literature and culture. The book examines the complexity of national identities forged among
political crises  economic upheaval and intercultural influences. The essays included here
focus upon internal contradictions of national identity and the factors contributing to this
discord. Among these are the nature of the Latin American intellectual  Latin American
modernity and exile  and the psychological underpinning of the re-creation of history. Some of
the chapters challenge the existing theoretical framework for Latin American literary analysis
by employing non-literary theories to analyse hitherto overlooked textual anomalies. The book
is a Festschrift for Professor Peter R. Beardsell  reflecting the importance of his
contribution to Latin American literary and cultural studies.
