▼ This dissertation offers a new approach to the 20th century Latin American prose writers Macedonio Fernández (Argentina, 1874-1952), Felisberto Hernández (Uruguay, 1902-1964), and Clarice Lispector (Brazil, 1920-1977). My approach is based on the study of affect, understood as an examination of the textual representation of mental and emotional states. An affect-oriented perspective reveals that these authors represent a unique reaction to the avant-garde cultural movements of early 20th century Latin America, one that is manifested in the image of the artist that they present in their work. The Latin American avant-gardes portrayed artists as privileged individuals privy to vivid, extreme sensations and perceptions, whereas, in the work of Fernández, Hernández, and Lispector, the artist’s feelings are unfocused and his or her perceptive powers are dulled. This creates an image of a decentered artist who is mired in ambivalence—a vague, uneasy affective state that is expressed most notably in the inattentiveness with which the artist approaches the creative process. This phenomenon—a combination of both affective and attentional decentering—marks a critical moment in the development of the figure of the artist in Latin American literature, moving away from the heroic artist portrayed by the avant-garde (inherited from romanticism and Spanish American modernismo) and anticipating the "death of the author" so prevalent in the Latin American "Boom."

▼ Silvina Ocampo belonged to a prestigious intellectual group in Argentina that had its heyday in the 1930s with the foundation of Sur, the most important intellectual magazine in Latin America until the 1950s. The writers surrounding Silvina Ocampo achieved more fame and received more critical attention than she did; for this reason her work has not been given the importance it deserves. It is only in the last twenty years that the Ocampo’s literary production has begun to be studied and valued both inside and outside of Argentina. Various studies have mentioned the interest that Silvina Ocampo had in painting and music, but she also felt a great enthusiasm for theatre. This passion, which has essentially been overlooked, had an impact on the writer, influencing the way she conceived her stories. In many of her stories, there are plenty of theatrical elements, such as masks, costumes, mirrors, and doubles, where it is possible to observe the construction of scenarios. Theatricality becomes a way for Ocampo to envision her short stories, their structure, and their development. In my dissertation I show that form and function come together in her work and that theatricality serves as a literary device for displaying the different conflicts within Argentina, a nation riven by political ideologies and social changes that have dominated the public sphere during the Peronist period, the military dictatorships, and throughout the difficult return to democracy.

▼ The validity of “development” in Latin America as a cultural force has not been thoroughly questioned – either by those from the industrialized world or by Latin American politicians, technicians, and military personnel. Within the Latin American cultural world, although the ideological effects of development have been considered, yet critics have neglected literary discourses. Recognizing the specific nature of development as a discursive construction and the adolescent character as a representation of the future of Latin American nations, this dissertation attempts to recognize the cultural discussion on the power of development, a key aspect of its modernity. The study shows the limits of development practices in Octavio Paz’s 1950 essay El laberinto de la soledad, Mario Vargas Llosa’s 1963 novel La ciudad y los perros, Clarice Lispector’s short stories and chronicles, José Lezama Lima’s 1966 novel Paradiso, and Elena Poniatowska’s 1971 testimony La noche de Tlatelolco.
These narratives exemplify the interplay between the rhetoric of development and the ensuing literary responses: texts and contexts feeding each other through characters and plots. Additionally, the traditions of the Bildungsroman and picaresque give insightful commentaries on the society, subject development, and integration with the nation, relating in different ways education and survival in preparation for the adolescent’s tasks for the future. All these aspects together conjugate to examine critically this chapter of the modernity. In this perspective, the incorporation of a social category such as "development" in the narrative creates a different registry within the Latin American literary tradition.
The relationship between this symbolic representation of an adolescent group – the Latin American nation’s future – and the goal to mold them into industrious “good citizens” or “new men” exposes the interpellation of the development ideology inherent in Latin American literature and culture. Hence, this study reveals both the continuity and disruption of development discourse during Post War Latin America culture, using examples exemplary of the period.

Dying to Speak: Death and the Creation of a New Reader in the Latin American Novel.

▼ In this study, I analyze Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas and Dom Casmurro by Machado de Assis, La amortajada and The Shrouded Woman by María Luisa Bombal, Juan Rulfo’s Pedro Páramo, and João Guimarães Rosa’s Grande Sertão: Veredas. The common theme of death and the solitary narrator/protagonist strengthens the links between Brazilian and Spanish American narrative traditions of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
This study examines the way in which death functions as a literary trope that destroys the concept of the traditional reader and reconstructs him/her as an integral participant in the creation of the narrative. Relying on Barthes’s concept of “writerly” texts, I apply Wolfgang Iser’s theory of aesthetic response and Roberto González Echevarría’s theory of the Archive to explore the ways in which death appears in primarily first-person narratives in which the narrator/protagonist has either died and speaks/writes from the grave, or remains the only living character of the narrative. In each work, the reader is expected to abandon the conventions of literary realism by engaging the narrator/protagonist in a metafictional space within the narrative itself. As the reader enters the texts, s/he is encouraged to reevaluate the society represented in the narrative, as it is filtered through the narrator’s lens of death. This lens strips away the conventional wisdom and hegemonic discourse of the society portrayed in the novels.
Each of the novels in this study presents its social order from a different perspective, but the common element of each work is the awakening that the narrator experiences through his or her association with death. In each of the works, the reader must “fill in” missing pieces of the text or decipher the speech acts of marginalized characters in order to understand the position and perspective of the narrator/protagonist. By doing so, the traditional reader “dies” as a newly constructed, more engaged reader is created.
