O ponto de partida são os vários textos do autor que têm a figura do detetive na intitulação, sendo esse apenas um dos vários aspectos que recorre na obra bolañiana. Entendendo que a enorme rede de relações que existe em seus textos é sugestiva de seu projeto literário, coerentemente será assumida uma visão transtextual para a análise da narrativa: através de textos críticos de Bolaño, de sua obra ficcional geral e do histórico da detective fiction, algumas interpretações serão traçadas para que se perceba de que forma novos sentidos deste gênero podem ser atribuídos a Los detectives salvajes. Para isso, será feita uma análise conjectural, num nível fragmentário, e nunca totalizante / Abstract: The synthesis of this work is the resignification of the detective fiction in Roberto Bolaño's Los detectives salvajes. The starting point is the various texts of the author that have the figure of the detective in the entitlement, being this aspect only one of the many others that resort in bolañian work. Understanding that the huge network of relationships that exist in his texts is suggestive of his literary project, it will coherently be assumed a transtextual vision for analyzing the narrative: through Bolaño's critical texts, his general fiction and the history of the detective fiction, some interpretations shall be outlined for the perception of how new meanings of this genre can be attributed to Los detectives salvajes. To achieve this aim, it will be assumed a conjectural analysis, in a fragmentary level, and never totalizing / Mestrado / Teoria e Critica Literaria / Mestra em Teoria e História Literária

Née d’un esprit critique qui la rapproche du Nouveau Roman français, l’oeuvre de l’écrivain argentin Juan José Saer (1937-2005) constitue l’une des tentatives de renouvellement des formes narratives les plus importantes dans la littérature latino-américaine de la deuxième moitié du XXe siècle. Ce renouvellement concerne tous les aspects du récit, en particulier celui de la fonction narratrice et, à l’intérieur de celle-ci, la figure du narrateur sous toutes ses formes. Le présent travail a pour objectif d’étudier les différentes manières dont cette instance est mise à l’épreuve d’un questionnement et d’une recherche intenses, donnant comme résultat des textes d’une grande complexité. Divisé en trois parties, il s’occupe, dans la première, de quelques cas de narrateurs impersonnels, en mettant l’accent sur leur rapport à la convention de l’omniscience, tandis que dans la deuxième il analyse des narrateurs personnels en les reliant à des expériences de voyage et d’immobilité. Enfin la troisième partie aborde quelques exemples de narrateur au second degré, considérés comme l’un des multiples moyens dont l’auteur se sert pour construire une réflexion autoréférentielle à l’intérieur de l’oeuvre. Dans tous les cas, le narrateur se trouve redéfini comme un outil privilégié de l’exploration du réel qui est au coeur du projet littéraire de l’auteur. / Arising from a form of critical thought that approximates him to the french Nouveau Roman, the work of the Argentine writer Juan José Saer (1937-2005) demonstrates one of the most important attempts to renew the narrative form in Latin-American literature within the second half of the twentieth-century. While this renewal concerns all aspects of the story, this dissertation will closely analyze the narrative function in particular and within this, the figure of the narrator in all of his forms. The present work aims to study the ways in which intense questioning and investigation have put this body of work to the test—a practice that has resulted in highly complex texts in which the narrator is redefined as a valuable tool to explore the idea of reality that is at the heart of the author’s literary project. The work is divided into three sections: the first deals with impersonal narrators by focusing on their relationship to the conventions of omniscient narration. The second section analyzes the personal narrators by studying their experiences with travel and immobility. The third section studies some of the many cases of second-degree narrators by treating them as one of the several means used by the author to construct a self-referential reflection within the work itself.

Este estudio se centra en las vidas de cinco mujeres mexicanas—Malintzin, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, Leona Vicario, Rosario Castellanos y Julieta Venegas—de cinco etapas históricas diferentes de México—la Conquista, el Virreinato de Nueva España, la lucha por la independencia, la modernidad y lo contemporáneo—al estudiar el uso que cada figura hace de su “Voz” según la época. Empieza presentando y descomponiendo el concepto de “malinchismo” revisando los detalles reconocidos de la vida de Malintzin/doña Marina/la Malinche. Después, continúa con un resumen de ciertos aspectos interesantes de las vidas de cada figura, empezando con Sor Juana y concluyendo con Julieta Venegas. En cada capítulo hay un análisis del uso de la Voz por medio de obras asociadas con cada figura. En cuanto a Malintzin, es necesario revisar las crónicas en las que ella aparece como protagonista. En el capítulo de Sor Juana, analizo principalmente los villancicos escritos para la celebración de la Asunción de 1676 y su defensa personal, la “Respuesta de la poetisa a Sor Filotea de la Cruz”. Al estudiar a Leona Vicario, comento ciertos datos de la biografía escrita por Genaro García en 1910, quizás la biografía más completa de la heroína hasta el día de hoy, y luego incorporo comunicados escritos por la misma Leona Vicario. Para Rosario Castellanos, he escogido el cuento “Lección de cocina,” el ensayo “Y las madres, ¿qué opinan?” y la obra de teatro El eterno femenino. Luego, para terminar el estudio, analizo la letra de las canciones compuestas por Julieta Venegas, además de su uso de la voz y su imagen pública por medio de entrevistas. This study focuses on the life of five Mexican women—Malintzin, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, Leona Vicario, Rosario Castellanos y Julieta Venegas—from five time periods of Mexican History—la Conquista, el Virreinato de Nueva España, la lucha por la independencia, la modernidad y lo contemporáneo—in order to study the use of "Voice" by each subject in relation to their respective time periods. It begins by presenting the concepts of "Malinchismo" y "Marianismo," revisiting the recorded details of the life of Malintzin/doña Marina/la Malinche. Then it continues with a summary of certain interesting aspects of the lives of each of the selected subjects, from Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz to the contemporary singer-songwriter Julieta Venegas. In each chapter there is an analysis of the use of "Voice" by means of works associated with each subject. In connection with Malintzin, it is necessary to review the chronicles in which the young indigenous translator appears as a protagonist. In the chapter about Sor Juana, the analysis centers around the villancicos written to celebrate "la Asunción de 1676" and the personal defense written by Sor Juana, "La Respuesta de la poetisa a Sor Filotea de la Cruz." In order to study Leona Vicario, the use of biographic information gathered from Genaro García informs the contemporary image of Vicario, later complimented by writings Vicario published in her own defense. For Rosario Castellanos, the short story "Lección de cocina," the essay "Y las madres, ¿qué opinan?," and the play El eterno femenino serve as the focus. An analysis of certain compositions by singer-songwriter Julieta Venegas concludes the study alongside the presentation of certain biographical details about her gathered from a variety of interviews.

Unlike their European predecessors in the experimentation with hallucinogens and aesthetics who undertook it as an exotic tradition brought from afar, many Latin American and North American authors turned to visionary practices and substances (cannabis, peyote, psilocybin mushrooms and ayahuasca, among others) as a main element of their own cultural heritage and territory. Though commonly restricted to the specific category of "psychedelia," the narratives in this corpus from the 20th century only acquire their true depth once included within a much vaster realm, that of visionary traditions, mostly originated in non-Western sources --with exceptions among divinators, witches and sorcerers in Europe -- both in the Old World of the Orient and Africa, but particularly in the New World, in America. Problematically blurring use and exchange value, the 20th century seized these substances as sources of forbidden pleasures which alienated laborers, while their prohibition generated immense fortunes that destabilized democracies throughout the continent, motivated violence, and funded mafias, guerrillas and paramilitary groups. Yet, visionary plants and practices spread with a transcultural power that even today allows for the survival of ethnic groups and traditional knowledge long hidden, while also feeding urban consumptions that generate innumerable subcultures, time and again misunderstood as a sign of decadence. In this dissertation these "underworld" practices are also manifestations of something prior and parallel to the birth of a culture of mass consumers: they mark an encounter between Indigenous, Afro, rural and mestizo influences in the voices of authors who contributed to culture from the margins of very hierarchical and racist societies, and assumed a leading role in their intellectual debate, capturing its mixtures, dark humor, conflicts and transculturations via writing and films. Initially marginalized in the low worlds of taverns, destitute neighborhoods, crime, prisons and prostitution venues, hallucination and hallucinogens--simultaneously a colonial anathema and a sacred pre-Columbian ritual of transcendence--survive and thrive, passing on to the urban minorities of artists and thinkers I will examine in this dissertation, now even including synthetics like Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD). Late Avant-gardes between the 1950s and 1990s--beatniks, counterculture, yippies and Chicanos in the US, the Onda generation and the "jipitecas'' in Mexico, and the "nadaístas'' and the Cali group in Colombia--partially rescued this knowledge, but, above all, its consumptions, preserving some of them as an original heritage within their metaphysics, politics and aesthetics, and as a core part of many of their ideological and secular inquiries. Banned and misconstrued by the viceregal, republican, national and transnational elites, both in the colonial past, and in the contemporary moment of an hemispheric circuit -- within the geopolitics of Nixon‘s War on Drugs -- visionary and hallucinogenic uses continue shaping much of the cultural panorama of America today. The variety of films and texts observed in this project gives a measure of the true heterogeneity of Latin American and US authors of the 20th century: In their works we reconnect a fracture that divides not only two, but many worlds, while it makes possible, for once, to conceive the simultaneous reality of them all.

This thesis explores the role of translation in the production and manipulation of identities in the contemporary Americas as exemplified in the work of Guillermo Gómez-Peña. Underscoring the instrumentality of borders vis-à-vis dominant constructions of identity and in connection with questions of language, race, and citizenship, I argue that translation not only functions as an agent of hegemonic superiority and oppression, but also as a locus of plurivocity and hybridization. Drawing from the concepts “continuous variation” (Deleuze and Guattari [1987] 2004), “coloniality of power” (Mignolo 2000), and “hybridization” (García-Canclini 1995), I discuss the connection of translation with three main topics: monolingualism, globalization, and racial hybridity. First, I discuss the influence that the dominant ideology of the nation-state has exerted on the way translation has been conceptualized since translation studies emerged as a field. Then I turn to colonial legacies in the Americas and the role of translation in situations of language hegemony as shaped by forces of assimilation and diversification. Finally, I look at translation as a crucial agent for the production and legitimization of Latin American identity throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Viewing translation as a performative and transformative activity, I critique a number of contemporary approaches to translation and I point to new understandings of translation as a cluster concept (Tymoczko 2007) in order to expand translation theory and practice beyond Western paradigms.
