El agua cántara es una historiografía apócrifa de la literatura. Esta compilación incluye versiones paródicas del realismo, el romanticismo, el costumbrismo y el posthumanismo, entre otros discursos, géneros y movimientos (los cuales, desde la óptica del absurdo, bien pueden ser una misma cosa). Además de realizar un recorrido por algunas de las principales formas textuales de Occidente, esta antología elabora y rastrea su propio mito de origen de la literatura: el sonido como máximo valor estético.

The present study focuses on Escritos para desocupados (Writings for the Unoccupied), a 2013 work by Mexican author Vivian Abenshushan, as a multifaceted book that poses challenges for literary studies, book studies, and the reader in general. From a textual perspective, Escritos para desocupados is a shape-shifter. That is, depending on how the reader accesses its content, it can be a blog-book, a web-book, a printed book or a digital PDF-book. Using a term coined by the author, the "augmented book," I seek to encompass a phenomenon that is no longer unusual, the publication of a text in different media. Using Roger Chartier's Forms and Meanings: Texts, Performances and Audiences from Codex to Computer (1995), and N. Katherine Hayles's Electronic Literature: New Horizons for the Literary (2008), the present study reworks and builds upon Abenshushan's term "augmented book" to reflect the transformation suffered by the text, and expands upon this new perspective to offer three basic modes of augmentation: through content, through formats, and through reading. Drawing on these forms of augmentation, and adding a more literary perspective, after reviewing the characteristics of two Avant-garde and post-Avant-garde literary movements in Mexico, as well as their primary characteristics, the findings suggest that Escritos para desocupados could be considered the manifesto to a new post-Avant-garde literary movement in Mexico, under the proposed name of movimiento desocupado (Unoccupied Movement).

This work examines women's relationships to language through the work of Canadian and American innovative women writers who write in, out of and through multiple non-English languages as a way of challenging English linguistic dominance and the patriarchal and imperial power structures upheld therein. The theoretical thrust of "The Translating Subject" is to explore the politics of multilingualism as an aesthetic strategy. Multilingualism, a notable strategy in women's writing of the last thirty years, permits the post-colonial writer to resist discursive colonization, as well as express bi-cultural identity through bilingual writing and what Evelyn Nien-ming Ch'ien calls "weird English." The three women about whom I write, Erin Mouré, Nicole Brossard and Kathy Acker, do not use multilingualism to express bi-cultural identity, but rather write in multiple non-English languages as part of a feminist knowledge project that challenges the dominance of English as a lingua franca and in so doing creates estrangement from western humanistic philosophical systems. While each writer’s works have received much critical recognition, to date their use of multiple non-English languages across their corpuses remains one of the most striking yet under-theorized aspects of their writings. / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Esta pesquisa buscou analisar a formação dos mais significativos movimentos beletrítiscos acontecidos no Ceará, sobretudo, o movimento dos padeiros, surgido em 30 de maio de 1892. O sentido de toda um agitação literária no Ceará, daí um certo teor gregário resultando assim na formação de grupos ou rodas literárias se deve em grande parte pelo objetivo dos homens de letras de adentrar a imprensa jornalística ou a acomodação nas repartições públicas , haja vista as atividades letradas servirem como forma de ascensão sócio-economica. Diferente da Mocidade Cearense comprometida com os interesses econômicos dos emergentes setores urbanos e de estreita ligação com as tradicionais oligarquias rurais, o grupo dos padeiros, oriundo dos Novos do Ceará diferente do arsenal teórico científico pautado nas idéias positivas e evolutivas iria propor um novo projeto literário baseado nos valores e hábitos do \"tipo\" campestre, heróico e valente. O movimento literário e artístico dos artistas padeiros seria uma \"cousa nova\", fugindo, pois, das formalidades científicas e bacharelescas dos tantos outros movimentos acontecidos anteriormente. De forte caráter boêmio e pilhérico o movimento dos padeiros causou \"escândalo\" numa pacata e provinciana Fortaleza de então, acostumada à seca, à pilheria e ao aluá. Se contrapondo ao projeto literário da velha Mocidade comprometida com a estrutura burguesa de raiz européia, a Padaria Espiritual prometia falar a linguagem do universo de hábitos e valores do povo cearense em contraposição ao mundo liberal e burguês das classes médias e altas que experimentam o diaa- dia dos grandes centros urbanos com suas relações viciosas ou degenerativas, o que não acontecia com as relações nada formais do homem puro e ingênuo que reside no campo.Portanto, o movimento dos padeiros iria se contrapor de forma retórica à burguesia, classe responsável pela disseminação de um conjunto de normas e valores que carrearam todo um processo de significativas mudanças econômicas festejadas pelas idéias de \"civilização\" e de \"progresso\" em detrimento da cultura maior da população pobre e humilde desassistida das míninas condições de sobrevivência. / This study aimed at analyzing the origin of one of the most significant literary movements ever appeared in Ceará, namely that of the \"bakers\", started on May 30th, 1892. The literary frenzy in Ceará and the social nature of this movement, resulting in the formation of literary groups or circles, is due to a large extent to the the interest of those men of letters in entering the field of journalism or finding a public job, for the scholarly activities were seen at the time as a path to socio-economic growth. The \"bakers\" group differed from the Mocidade Cearense (Ceará Youth) movement, which was committed to promoting the emerging urban sectors economic interests and bore close links with the traditional agricultural oligarchies, making use of a scientific theoretical background based on positivist and evolutionist ideas. On the other hand, the members of the \"bakers\" movement, which derived from the Novos do Ceará (Ceará Youngsters) group, adopted a new literary project based on the values and habits of the heroic and brave countryside men. The literary and artistic movement of the \"bakers\" searched to find \"something new\", therefore moving away from the scientific and scholarly formalities which characterized many prior movements. Its strong bohemian and witty character caused outrage in the calm and provician Fortaleza of the time, used to no kore than droughts, humour and \"aluá\". In contrast with the literary project of the old Youth, which searched to preserve the european bourgeois structure of the State of Ceará, the Padaria Espiritual (Spiritual Bakery) promised to speak the language of the universe of habits and values of the people of Ceará, opposing the liberal and bourgeois world of the middle and upper classes that lived in the great urban centers and experience its vicious or degenerative relations, while the countryside man remained pure and innocent in his all but formal relations. Therefore, the \"bakers\" movement rhetorically opposed the bourgeoisie, responsible for the dissemination of a set of norms and values that started a process of significant economic changes linked to the ideas of \"civilization\" and \"progress\" and that were very well received, in detriment of the culture of the poor and humble population lacking the minimal survival conditions.
