▼ How Poetry Matters: Poetics of the Object in 20th Century Brazil, Chile, and the United States, explores how poetry, rather than attempting to describe, invoke, or symbolize material objects, can be an object itself. This study argues for four different constructions of poetic objecthood-autonomous, relational, assembled, and architectural. Beginning with Brazil's concrete poetry, this dissertation considers the poem as an autonomous object, wedding the midcentury poetic practices of Haroldo de Campos, Augusto de Campos, and Décio Pignatari to current debates about the object and its ontology, which have traditionally sought to mark their distance from philosophies of language. In its exploration of neoconcrete poetry, this project borrows from artist Lygia Clark's writings on the relational object and Ferreira Gullar's engagement with Merleau-Ponty to propose a "relational poetics" in which the poet, the reader, and the poetic object are mutually constitutive in the moment of phenomenological encounter. In its study of Juan Luis Martínez's La nueva novela, this dissertation considers the poem-object in light of what Manuel DeLanda calls, after Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, "relations of exteriority," connecting what was, for the neoconcretists, a relational poetics, to what is, for Martínez, a material poetics of relation. The final chapter, on U.S. poet Ronald Johnson's concrete epic poem, ARK, brings poetry into contact with both the built environment and the epic, showing that material poetries can both take time and take up space. While many of these examples are more commonly read as art objects, this project situates them inside of poetry, asking, for example, what it means for a poem to be spatial and to invite its reader into a sensorially engaging experience. Together, the four accounts of the poem's objecthood that appear here propose an alternative history of 20th century poetics and argue in favor of a paradigm in which it's not just the poem that makes sense, but the sensible that makes the poem.

▼ How can utopia, as a concept and a project, have as its goal the exposure and defense of the commons while its very articulation must posit a tabula rasa to be enclosed, improved, and defended? This question lies at the heart of my own project. I investigate and critique a series of moments that mobilize the twin concepts of utopia and commons: More's original 1516 text and the conquest of the Americas that lies behind it; several agrarian and communal projects in the Americas situated at the intersection of modernity, imperialism, land, and history; postapocalyptic narratives that find their logic in the revelation of a primal utopian moment turned dystopian; and contemporary debates over the enclosure of immaterial property and labor that, in turn, posit cyberspace as a new utopia and decry new enclosures of that immaterial realm. Chapter 1 pairs two contemporary dystopian post-apocalyptic novels from Argentina- Plop and El año del desierto-with Sarmiento's classic liberal text Facundo: Civilization and Barbarism in order to open up a new critical space to consider the curious relationship between liberalism, catastrophe, and the end of the world as we know it. Chapter 2 investigates the implications of the historical coincidence of the sixteenthcentury Spanish conquest of the Americas and Thomas More's 1516 publication of Utopia. Chapter 3 continues to develop the problematic relationship between conquest, colonialism, utopia, and commons, but in the context of the Andes; specifically, by tracing a constellation of Andean utopians that runs from Inca Garcilaso through José Carlos Mariátegui, Manuel Scorza, and José María Arguedas. Chapter 4 studies the paired notions of commons and enclosure in the realm of contemporary cultural production in Latin America through a focus on literary phenomena such as plagiarism, recycling, and community activism, with particular attention paid to Cartonera publishing houses. Chapter 5 attempts to extract a theory of the practice of copyleft capable of both recognizing the entirely novel elements of contemporary cultural production (the digital horizons of intellectual property) and exposing the hidden line of past struggle that traverses the very concept of the commons.

▼ In this dissertation, I study the forms that attempt to capture experience in language. From the anecdotes that write a life, to the sentences that inscribe the language of prison-spaces, to the fictions that tell and retell old fables. Most importantly I examine the movement between these forms which are at once anachronic, synchronic and perpetual. In the first chapter, False Case: The Anecdote” I examine the desire that Macedonio Fernández, Jorge Luis Borges and Ricardo Piglia share for the anecdotal, which I define as the recording of an untraceable life. The writing of anecdotes I propose, consists of going to the limits of writing oneself in a single experience only to then erase oneself. In this “project” all three authors work with the anecdotal to challenge positions of authorship, to establish a community of writers who operate under the understanding that plagiarizing and copying are not a violation of the law but rather what brings them together. In my second chapter “Metaphysical Case: The Sentence,” I look at the ways in which an experience is captured in the form of a sentence as a specific form of the aphorism but also a grammatical and juridical structure for the inscription of order on a body. I analyze the works of Eduardo Lalo, Piglia and Borges, especially the texts written inside the prison. The prison, works both as the opening for a place to think, but also as a dead-end and a literal condemnation. For my third chapter “Fictional Case: The Fable” I study the way in which experience is organized in a causal way—as a sequence of events. Starting out from Aesop’s fables and biblical parables I look at the use of the form in a traditional sense and then I analyze how Augusto Monterroso and Juan José Arreola, revitalize and reappropriate old fables and parables in order to evaluate the causal construction of the form. For my last chapter “Perpetual Movement: The Flies” I see in Monterroso’s infinite collection of quotes about the fly the epitome of his whole literary project as well as the perpetual movement I trace throughout my chapters. By tracing this movement, I redefine what these “brief forms” have meant and still mean in the Latin American canon and I also propose them as critical maneuvers for any given text.

▼ The present dissertation argues for a theory of a properly feminine Bildungsroman, one that moves feminine subjectivity beyond the impasses of becoming and reconceives it within what I call "a logic of the event." I call into question prevailing theories of femininity that treat it as an unstable term such that any subject inhabiting the feminine position is caught in a never-ending enactment of the term's failure. As a result, within this framework, the feminine subject is seen as always becoming but, as Joan Copjec has pointed out, never is. I contend with Copjec that these accounts reduce femininity to the realm of the signifier; in other words, femininity is only considered in its signifying capacity. While these theories are certainly necessary in a critique of the social where a hypostatization of the feminine can result in brutal oppressiveness, I claim that they are ultimately inadequate to an account of feminine subjectivity. Instead, reading him in relation to Jacques Lacan's theory of the feminine not-all, I see in Alain Badiou's theory of the event a more adequate means of responding to the conceptual exigencies that feminine subjectivity poses. Drawing on Badiou's articulation of the event as a momentary failure of what "is," one which opens the possibility for a subjective intervention that, through a laborious process, produces a new truth, I propose a new way of conceiving feminine subjectivity. I indentify such a logic of the event at work in certain novels about the adolescent girl from the latter half of the twentieth century. By analyzing Carson McCullers's The Member of the Wedding, Carmen Boullosa's Antes, and Marguerite Duras's L'Amant, I demonstrate how these novels stage a problem for the girl which a logic of becoming cannot adequately address: the difficulty of signifying a certain something that has been left unaccounted for in the realm of meaning.

▼ Reproductions examines the politics of cultural reproduction in Chile and Argentina by analyzing literary and educational institutions in the era of neoliberal governance. I advance two arguments: (1) parallel to neoliberalism’s consolidation, the
university and an emerging theory canon become necessary prostheses for the literary institution’s reproduction and, (2) study, when understood as a form of unwaged, reproductive labor, transforms educational institutions into potential sites for anti-work politics. Reproductions explores the implications of the increasing dependence of literary production on educational institutions and their social reproductive functions. Part One joins the growing consensus that struggles against capital have moved from the terrain of waged, productive work to that of unwaged, reproductive labor. I assemble an archive that exposes a representational crisis in the ranks of Chile’s 2011 student movement. Beneath the opposition of peaceful, student protestors to violent, masked rioters, I suggest a point of solidarity in their shared marginalization from wage-labor. This helps me reconceive study as reproductive labor against the neoliberal model of study as human capital investment. Turning from
university politics to its theorization, I contend that philosopher Willy Thayer’s genealogy of Chile’s neoliberal
university defends academic labor at the cost of reifying the myth of
university autonomy and obscuring the work of study. My argument culminates in what I call study-without-end, at once an alternative pedagogy and anti-work politics, developed in dialog with the research militancy of Colectivo Situaciones, a theory collective active in the wake of Argentina’s 2001 economic crisis. As practiced by the collective and their interlocutors in Argentina’s unemployed workers’ movements, study-without-end heralds the possibility of instituting ephemeral moments of political-economic autonomy. Part Two shifts from social reproduction through educational institutions to the cultural reproduction of the literary institution. I contend that the consecration of theoretical fictions penned by two generations of contemporary Chilean and Argentinean writers is symptomatic of a convergence among literary, critical, and educational institutions since the 1980s. In Ricardo Piglia’s understudied late works, I see a critique that intervenes in the reproduction of the literary institution. Piglia blurs the boundaries between criticism and fiction in order to prefigure his works’ reception and contribute to their canonization. Among the youngest generation of novelists, Pola Oloixarac adopts similar novelistic strategies. By addressing her work to a
university-educated audience, she ingratiates herself with the literary institution’s gatekeepers. I return to the earlier generation to show how Diamela Eltit’s writing insists on the banal objecthood of literature. Unlike her contemporary Piglia, Eltit threatens the literary institution’s reproduction by voicing a non-reproductive desire.

▼ This dissertation interrogates the relationship between intellectuals and the state in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Chile, Mexico and Brazil. I use the term incomplete secularization to describe part of a process under which positivism, as one of the predominant discourses of the turn of the century milieu, deployed an ambitious plan for the institutional installation of a Positivist Church. The Positivist Church's distinctive feature was that it never laid claim to state bureaucracy, choosing instead to construct a parallel institution of its own that would tend to the final dissolution of the state itself. I argue that an examination of the roots and conditions of the emergence of the Positivist Church in both countries can help us to better understand this moment, in which the complex autonomy of the state was paradoxically premised on the incomplete process of secularization. The Positivist Church claimed that the way to close the gap between "the death of God" and the scientific and industrial revolutions was to create an institution that absorbed the structure of the Catholic Church but at the same time recognized the advances of Western philosophy and the sciences. I contend that the failure of the Positivist Church's intervention into the secularization process within the broader intellectual history of the period can illuminate the failure of the process of state constitution itself.

▼ This dissertation studies the purported political radicalization of experimental art and design in the late 1960s and 1970s in Argentina, Mexico and Chile. Through the examination of artists, designers and critics including the Grupo Arte de los Medios, Oscar Masotta, Octavio Paz, Oscar Bony, Felipe Ehrenberg, the Groups Movement, Gui Bonsiepe and the cybernetic management project Cybersyn, I study how terms and problems such as the avant-garde, the socialization of art and the mutual implication of industrial design and management contemplated art's relationship to the social relations of production at a moment in which the challenge to art's traditional supports and the intensified socialization of productive labor made these two realms increasingly difficult to distinguish. In the Argentinean case, I show how Oscar Masotta and the Grupo Arte de los Medios pointed to the de-naturalization of ideology as the task of the avant-garde and, at the same time, to the limit of this same procedure in the inseparability of image and enjoyment. In the Mexican case, I argue that the Groups addressed the Revolutionary legacy of art's socialization by simultaneously inhabiting the form of the artists' collective and re-defining both art and artistic labor as cultural work within the social relations of production. The Groups thus point to the political potential inherent in their organizational form both through and against the muralist legacy. In the Chilean case, I argue that Cybersyn consummated the fraught relationship between art and industry that defined the avant-garde of the Bauhaus and Ulm School of Design by transforming the sticky question of style into the infrastructure of subjectivation in the management of the Chilean workforce. Style thus marks the thin line joining and separating auto-poiesis and praxis. Whether through the intervention into the mass media, the collectivization of cultural work or the making operative of style through the infrastructural function of industrial design, I argue that each case points to a form of ideological mediation that cleaves close to the figure and process of capitalist selfreproduction while still insisting on this slight subjective gap as the space of its potential politicization and critique.

▼ This dissertation argues for the singularity with which the theatre, conceived as a fleshly encounter with language, constitutes a matrix for social change in the age of global capitalism. The project traces a genealogy of French dramatists and theatre theorists who share in common an unprecedented deployment of the stage as a model for dialectical thought, which they also conceive of as integral to the question of human subjectivity. The dissertation demonstrates how the formal divisions which give the theatre its specificity – its tension between dramatic text and the horizon of live performance, its mimetic and spatial disjunctions, its opposition of spectator and actor – invariably lead practitioners and theorists to take a stand with respect to two orientations toward the subject. They are distinguished, I argue, by their different attitudes concerning the aleatory, unpredictable nature of live theatrical performance. The stakes of the project for theatre and performance studies lie in its affirmationist acount of theatrical mimesis. Far from constituting a site of representational closure and binary opposition to be deconstructed and overcome, I insist upon a reading of theatricality in terms of dialectical scission, in which the stage’s formal constraints provide the substrate for eruptions of the unthought within which change finds its bearings. By delineating two subjective orientations in theatre theory and practice, this dissertation marshals the stage’s formidable resources in a battle against the finitude that attends every relinking of dialectical division, and which grounds the ideological shadow play that sustains power in our current conjuncture. Running against the grain of those critical tendencies that would reduce the theatre to an irreparably metaphysical, and thus politically retrograde construct, this project asserts the necessity of the theatre and the singularity with which it is capable of orienting us in the confusion of our times.

▼ In this dissertation I argue that the historical lived experience of the maroon allows us to read twentieth-century Hispanic Caribbean narrative outside the two traditional variants of imagining and studying its literature and culture: as an anthropologically-based picture of mixtures and blends (transculturation, creolization, hybridity, etc.), and as a representation of the convoluted processes of founding nations and building identities. Instead, through an understanding of the cunning and the craft of the maroon, of the way they made sense of the world and a place for themselves in it, works of fiction that were usually left behind in name of traditional ways of reading can reveal to us a new image of the Caribbean by showing us different understandings of space and the subject's relation to it. In the first chapter I argue that Virgilio Piñera's La carne de René is the clearest example of this strategy. What appears to be a pessimistic and hermetic novel with absurdist flourishes is indeed an attempt to give flesh-like and extensive qualities to concepts, thus turning the physical body into a place where ideological beliefs and oppositions play out their tensions in a constricted field. In the second chapter, dedicated to Héctor Rojas Herazo's En noviembre llega el arzobispo, I show how a vitalistic logic manages to portray a Caribbean where the images of memories-and not the word or the Law-ground a community. In the third chapter I focus on Alejo Carpentier's El recurso del método. Generally considered a coda to his principal work, I argue instead that it is a critical intervention in the Caribbean and European imaginaries: by focusing on nuclei of peripheral lived experience within the cosmopolitan center, and as a result of a change in the author's definition of the "marvelous real" into a organismic, baroque movement, the novel is able to disrupt the global cultural valences of center and periphery. I first read Esteban Montejo and Miguel Barnet's Biografía de un cimarrón as an example of maroon imagination, and then use it to recast Antonio Benítez Rojo's The Repeating Island as a text suffused by this type of imagination of the world. Then the dissertation studies three novels not commonly regarded as representative works of the Caribbean: Virgilio Piñera's La carne de René, Héctor Rojas Herazo's En noviembre llega el arzobispo, and Alejo Carpenitier's El recurso del método. Like the settlements founded by runaway slaves all throughout the Caribbean, these novels reject being immersed in nation-building projects because they do not grow out of an oppositional consciousness but out of an image of a community sharing a lived experience. They flow between and under the oppositional poles of tradition and modernity, status quo and revolutionary change, center and periphery. They are able to do this thanks to, first, their attachment to various forms of vitalism-a preference for becoming over being, for seeing reality as a live organism and in terms of virtuality and actualization-which results in ontological…

▼ Beginning from the dramatic changes which took place in the early 1930s in the dominant historical logic of Marxism at the time, that is, when the Kōza, or "Lectures" faction published their major historical statement, the 8-volume Nihon shihonshugi hattatsu-shi kōza (Lectures on the History of Development of Japanese Capitalism) corresponding to the Comintern's 1932 Thesis on Japan, I theoretically trace the problem of the "national question," in other words, the theories of the distinguishing or specific characteristics of the Japanese situation through the interwar period and into the early postwar. The "national question" remained the decisive center around which Marxists considered the strategies and tactics of politics, as well as the means and methods of writing history. I examine certain Kōza faction theorists, in particular Yamada Moritarō, in order to theoretically consider their discussion of the national question in terms of the history of the development of Japanese capitalism. What they considered the uneven temporal sequences of development (supposedly "proven" by Japan's supposedly "semi-feudal" social basis in the countryside) can also be read as a debate on the temporalities and epistemic ordering mechanisms implied in the formation and constitution of specific difference itself, a debate on the question of how capital localizes itself, how capital acts as if it is a "natural" outgrowth of a putatively "given" situation. In the pursuit of this broad conceptual point - both the rethinking of the theoretical implications of the national question today and the rethinking of the specifically theoretical implications of the aftermath of the debate on Japanese capitalism - I revisit Uno Kōzō's powerful intervention into the basic questions of this debate through extensive reinvestigations of Marx's work, and take up certain corollary developments in the works of Tanigawa Gan and Tosaka Jun.

▼ The present dissertation studies the image of the remainder in three variations- garbage, human remains and wastelands-as they appear in contemporary Latin American literary and visual products. Works by Marcelo Cohen, Vik Muniz and Teresa Margolles are clustered around the image of garbage in chapter 1; Rodolfo Walsh, Artur Barrio, Rubem Fonseca and Guadalupe Nettel offer the images of human remains analyzed in chapter 2; and finally, chapter three reads the image of the wasteland in José Revueltas, Sebastião Salgado, and Matilde Sánchez. This constellation of images produced by contemporary writers and artists from Argentina, Brazil and Mexico is read against its immediate historical context to uncover the patterns of political engagement triggered by a moment of crisis. These moments of upheaval produce an awareness of collective vulnerabilities, which find their expression in images of waste. The most recurrent pattern of collective behavior after an instance of crisis, as it is observed in the analyzed works, can be summarized as a political mobilization springing from the improvised usage of waste materials as a strategy for the survival of the community.

▼ This dissertation is a critical examination of the temporalities that posit a profound radical cut in the present as the precondition for the emergence of a new era of sociality and politics in Latin America, in particular, in Cuba, Colombia, and Mexico. This is an immanent critique of these articulations of time that I label under the name of messianic temporalities. In particular, I contend that the messianic organization of time in Latin America demands a serious study as an analytical concept useful for addressing the question of the future of struggles for freedom. I advance the notion of messianic temporalities as a means to interrogate and reactivate the logics of a radical transformation of the present. In this dissertation, I provide a critical mapping of the shape and effects of the messianic within Latin American political structure through its aesthetic production that ranges from literary materials to contemporary art and experimental video. Ultimately, I assert the importance of distancing ourselves from this concept in order to address new temporalities of revolt that break with a present order that does not seem to end.

▼ This dissertation examines works by Louise Bourgeois, Sophie Calle, Marguerite Duras, Roni Horn, Clarice Lispector, and Kiki Smith, to discuss the rethinking of reading, viewing, and dwelling that they incite. My selection of enigmatic pieces demonstrates how each one uniquely sets forth a fundamental claim: that the work of art consists in closing in on "l'insaisissable de la pensée," a phrase coined by Hélène Cixous in describing Roni Horn's reworking of a text by Clarice Lispector. I turn to discuss the reader's role upon encountering this ungraspable of thought, since all of the pieces in play here explicitly call for a reader's participation in the creative process constitutive of the work of art. I advance that they challenge the reader to an interpretation more concerned with a vibrancy that overflows signification than with retrieving meaning. The work of art creates spaces made up of oblique, non-interchangeable webs of signifiers, so as to construct, as process and site, what resists being understood in terms of an apprehensible object. Given the fleeting nature of water and flows, they materialize the work's uncharted event-in sculptural installations combining water and transparent glass or in photographs and film sequences featuring surfaces of streams coursing through cities. My project details, furthermore, the way in which desire fuels this aesthetic experience in the sense, as manifest in the French 'expérience,' of an experiment: a constrained, perilous exposure to the unknown. Foregrounding figures of liquidity and flow, I show that desire's excessive quality is here intrinsic to questions of sexual difference. My dissertation discusses femininity as a stance regarding desire that offers unique perspectives on language and knowledge, developing its privileged position to undertake reading that confronts the limits of thought, which is integral to the artistic procedure as articulated by these pieces. Intertextuality informs my approach to each of the works, finding novel bridges among them and pivotal references they bear to the French literary canon and Western philosophy.

▼ The Praxis of Quotation in Transitional Latin American Literatures traces Latin American literary pragmatism through the figure of quotation. My first chapter analyzes Costa Rican author Yolanda Oreamuno’s novel, La ruta de su evasión, and its characterization of the choteador(a), a person who practices the art of choteo. I conclude that Oreamuno defines the latter, a form of Central American wit that hinges upon quotation, differently from her Caribbean counterparts, such as Jorge Mañach, as a politically sterilizing discourse and a form of collusion with an authoritarian regime. In my second chapter, I study Mexican author Rosario Castellanos’s Oficio de tinieblas, and its appropriation of historiography to reconstruct the character of the gossip. I propose that Castellanos democratizes this role, revealing this character to be potentially any member of civil society, while she represents the state of political emergency as one in which gossip is suspended. In Chapter three, I turn to Peruvian author Mario Vargas Llosa’s El Paraíso en la otra esquina, and its depiction of the revolutionary feminist Flora Tristán. The novel transcribes, translates and adapts selections from Tristán’s vast corpus of writing, and attributes to Tristán feelings of shame, guilt and also pride about these writings. I question whether quotation functions as a form of narrative voice. Ultimately, I argue that the novel theorizes a conflict between quotation’s potential to solicit either empathy or political cooperation with its quoted subject, offering the latter as the valid choice. Finally, my fourth chapter turns to the novel, Dora, in which Peruvian author José B. Adolph transcribes the memoirs of Dora Mayer de Zulen. These are memoirs in which Mayer analyzes the literature of Pedro Zulen, in order to prove Zulen’s status as a messiah of the indigenist movement, and also to prove that she and Zulen were married in the eyes of God. I argue that the novel stages a confrontation between the hermeneutic strategy of Mayer and the philosophy of Zulen; ultimately embracing Zulen’s perspective that the possibility of a correct reading depends upon the political saliency of the message that one reads for. In each chapter, I describe the conditions for the possibility of the use of quotation, the existence of the original text as a material support, and the author’s ability to recur to that text.
