El trabajo sigue la presencia del modernismo en la obra de Gamaliel Churata, desde sus inicios declaradamente modernistas hasta las últimas obras poéticas, para comprobar que no es regularmente ...decreciente a partir de El pez de oro (1957): desaparece en Resurrección de los muertos, pero vuelve en obras posteriores como Khirkhilas de la Sirena y otros libros de poemas. Sin embargo, estas formas cambian de significado al abandonar el autor la visión del mundo decadentista en favor de una filosofía andina que niega la muerte a partir de la germinación de la vida. Las formas modernistas sirven de cauce a algunos contenidos que se encuentran en su código, pero sobre todo se hacen autóctonas para crear un insólito encuentro y debate con el pensamiento andino, y son parte de la elaboración del concepto de khaswa, que remite a la nueva escritura andina.

This study is an attempt to shed new light on the potential representation of posthumanism, the posthuman condition in particular, in Hernan Diaz’s tour de force novel entitled “In the Distance.” The ...main focus of the study is highlighting the inextricable bond between humans and their surroundings in the most anthropocentric trend of posthumanism, and addressing our exploitative way of living and the outcomes of our ill-treatment toward the natural environment, as represented in one of the contemporary fictions, “In the Distance.” We are told that nature is an eternal Eden which was predestined for serving humankind, and will be balanced once it has fulfilled its duty. The novel, however, as evidenced by current environmental issues, makes an effort to warn us about the end of nature and in turn the failure of humanity. In the same context, this study seeks to demonstrate the “In the Distance” novel as one of the main works arguing for post-humanistic principles during and after the colonialization of America, accompanied by modern civilization and technological advancement in the late 19th and early 20th century.

"This book explores Salome’s quintessential veiled dance through readings of fictional and poetic texts, dramatic productions, dance performances and silent films, arguing for the central place of ...this dancer – and her many interpreters – to the wider formal and aesthetic contours of modernism. Loïe Fuller, Maud Allan, Oscar Wilde, Ida Rubinstein, Alla Nazimova, Djuna Barnes, Germaine Dulac, Edward Gordon Craig, W. B. Yeats, Ninette de Valois and Samuel Beckett are foregrounded for their innovative engagements with this paradigmatic fin-de-siècle myth, showing how the ephemeral stuff of dance became a constitutive element of the modernist imagination during this period."
The article offers a re-assessment of a little-known novel by Eyvind Johnson,
(
), which was published purely in periodical form and has received very limited critical attention hitherto. The article ...approaches the novel through the theoretical lens of the widening and softening tendencies that characterise current understandings of the field of modernist literature. The appreciation of Johnson’s novel is informed, furthermore, by new insights into the role of interwar modernism in registering and responding to the afterlife of war as well as the spectre of a future war. The article argues that the sidelining of the novel in the reception of Johnson’s work is attributable more to its unusual publication mode than to any lack of artistic merit. After providing perspectives on the circumstances that surrounded Johnson’s creation of the novel, the article goes on to substantiate and scrutinise the novel’s modernist display of innovative temporalities and spatialities as well as its satirical sophistication. The article concludes that the novel deserves recognition for its original depiction of the fractured reality of wartime as it is lived and felt hundreds of kilometres from the core war zone.
‘In the Nightmare Country’ offers a detailed analysis of John Metcalfe’s short story, ‘The Bad Lands’ (1920), arguing that it represents an amalgam of Gothic and modernist devices and preoccupations ...that has significant implications for the development of twentieth-century British Gothic writing. The article considers how Metcalfe's story was shaped by Joseph Conrad and D. H. Lawrence on one hand and Freudian psychoanalysis and wartime experiences on the other. It also examines the important role played by the anthologist, Dorothy L. Sayers, in the popularisation of emerging forms of psychological gothic during the 1930s.

The text deals with ideas and projects in culture and arts, especially visual and performing arts in Brazil aimed at the con-struction of identity through post-colonial resistance mixed with the ...modernist uto-pias of the 20th century. South America, freeing itself from the oppression of the colonial era, had to redefine its national and cultural identity. The utopian belief of meeting the Other, the representative of traditional cultures as the bearer of re-newal, characterizes the search of many artists and thinkers of the 20th century. The experience of Brazilian modernism, tropicalism, and performance bring their version of this perspective: the figure of the American Indians in various ways. As contemporary decolonial studies show, Brazilian modernism, transforming the Indian into a rhetorical and aesthetic figure, ends up devouring its own indig-enous people. Decolonial concepts and finally the contemporary Amerindian per-spective bring their own answer, decon-structing and exposing hidden prejudices of Brazilian culture
O texto trata de ideias e projetos em cul-tura e artes, especialmente, artes visuais e artes cênicas no Brasil, voltadas para a construção da identidade por meio da resistência pós-colonial misturadas com as utopias modernistas do século 20. A América do Sul, libertando-se da opressão colonial, teve que redefinir sua identida-de nacional e cultural. A crença utópica de encontro com o Outro, o representante das culturas tradicionais como portador da renovação caracteriza a busca de mui-tos artistas e pensadores do século XX. A experiência do modernismo brasileiro, do tropicalismo e da performance brasileira, todas elas evocam, de várias maneiras, a figura dos índios americanos. A arte bra-sileira do século XX, usando conceito de antropofagia simbólica, quer “devorar” a Europa, mas como mostram os estudos de-coloniais contemporâneos, o modernismo brasileiro, transformandoo índio em figu-ra retórica e estética, acaba devorando o próprio indígena. Os conceitos decoloniais e, por fim, a perspectiva ameríndia con-temporânea trazem sua própria resposta, desconstruindo e expondo os escondidos preconceitos da cultura brasileira
El artículo se dedica a los textos periodísticos del guatemalteco Enrique Gómez Carrillo (1873-1927), autor cosmopolita, llamado “rey de los cronistas”. La crónica modernista es el género que da ...entrada a lo nuevo, otro, raro y, además, simboliza la lucha entre la “alta” literatura y el mundo rápido y pasajero del periódico, la tensión entre las leyes del mercado y el concepto aristocrático del arte. Nos centramos en la imagen de la mujer que Gómez Carrillo ofrece a los lectores; sus crónicas nos llevan a diferentes países y ambientes, siendo el centro de la modernidad y de la belleza la metrópoli francesa —allí se fragua lo nuevo, es el santuario del arte, de la moda, de la belleza—. Con el autor viajamos también a otros ambientes predilectos de la época, sobre todo al Oriente. A Gómez Carrillo le fascina Japón, especialmente el personaje de la geisha como encarnación de la ambigüedad femenina, entre ángel y diablo. La mujer oriental con su condición enigmática está en estrecha relación con los prototipos de la mujer fatal: Salomé, Cleopatra o Astarté, todas de origen “oriental”. El artículo muestra cómo esta imagen de lo femenino —aunque poéticamente bella—obedece a los estereotipos de la época: la mujer como sexo decorativo.
