El denario del sueño
by Marguerite YourcenarLa historia de un atentado antifascista en la Roma de Mussolini reúne en la ciudad a una serie de personajes que se ven unidos por la imparable concatenación de acontecimientos. Una moneda de diez liras pasa de mano en mano creando un vínculo alegórico entre personajes y temas, que se entrecruzan en estas páginas como transeúntes en las calles. El denario del sueño contiene además una sutil y terrible reflexión sobre el paso del tiempo, el enfrentamiento entre la realidad y la imagen - magistralmente desarrollados en el encuentro erótico entre Alessandro y Angiola en un pequeño cine de barrio - o la impotencia del hombre ante un orden de las cosas más esencial que él mismo. Temas recurrentes en la obra de Marguerite Yourcenar, reconocida como una de las más hábiles artesanas de esa difícil y oscura sustancia que es la experiencia humana.
Denationalizing Identities: The Politics of Performance in the Chinese Diaspora
by Wah Guan LimDenationalizing Identities explores the relationship between performance and ideology in the global Sinosphere. Wah Guan Lim's study of four important diasporic director-playwrights—Gao Xingjian, Stan Lai Sheng-chuan, Danny Yung Ning Tsun, and Kuo Pao Kun—shows the impact of theater on ideas of "Chineseness" across China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore. At the height of the Cold War, the "Bamboo Curtain" divided the "two Chinas" across the Taiwan Strait. Meanwhile, Hong Kong prepared for its handover to the People's Republic of China and Singapore rethought Chinese education. As geopolitical tensions imposed ethno-nationalist identities across the region, these four dramatists wove together local, foreign, and Chinese elements in their art, challenging mainland China's narrative of an inevitable communist outcome. By performing cultural identities alternative to the ones sanctioned by their own states, they debunked notions of a unified Chineseness. Denationalizing Identities highlights the key role theater and performance played in circulating people and ideas across the Chinese-speaking world, well before cross-strait relations began to thaw.
Denazificando Leni
by Luigia Pantalea Rovito Lázaro DroznesQuesta finzione drammatica ricostruisce il processo a Leni Riefenstahl condotto dalla Commissione di Denazificazione degli Alleati per determinare il suo grado di responsabilità nei crimini nazisti, come parte della campagna di denazificazione effettuata nella Germania post-bellica. Diverse scene dei suoi documentari vengono usate come prova a suo carico, sostenendo che furono realizzati come strumenti della propaganda di regime. Leni difende la propria indipendenza e autonomia in quanto artista. Durante lo svolgimento del processo, appare il tema della relazione tra gli artisti e il potere, la necessità di sviluppare una carriera artistica indipendente dal potere politico e la possibilità di creare arte per l'arte. Un'arte il cui fine sia l'arte stessa.

Dengue Boy: A Novel
by Michel NievaA cyberpunk fever-dream of climate catastrophe: the full-length fiction debut from one of the boldest new voices in Argentinian literature, thrillingly translated by Rahul Bery.After the last Antarctic icecaps melt, calamity follows. Landscapes are radically transformed, diseases mutate and spread with unprecedented speed, and, in response, forms the ghastly &“virofinance&” exchange—a market for corporations to profit from pandemics and global suffering.It&’s in this grim near-future of 2272, where words such as &“winter&” and &“cold&” have no meaning, the Dengue Child grows.The monstrous humanoid mosquito emerges in newly tropical Argentina, carrying its namesake virus and despairing of its own existence. Bullies brutalize the child until a violent eruption of revelation and transformation takes place, shockwaves of which will extend far beyond the schoolyard into a society full of terrors and wonders enabled and exposed by climate collapse.Powerful telepathic stones from the bowels of the earth, sought after by smugglers, seem to hold a volatile, primordial wisdom. The meager remaining glaciers are harvested for skating rinks on luxury cruises. And the youth obsess over an immersive, addictive video game that presents a virtual world far more attractive than reality.In the tradition of Kafka, Cronenberg, and Philip K. Dick, Michel Nieva's brilliant, hilarious, and demented Dengue Boy draws on manga, body horror, and gaucho-punk science fiction to tell a delirious, frenetic, singular story about the ravages of capitalism and what hope might exist, if any, for revenge and rebirth.
Dengue Boy: A Novel
by Michel NievaFor fans of David Cronenberg's films and lovers of Kafka, this gaucho-punk, sci-fi novel set in 2197 offers an explosive interpretation of an ultra-capitalistic society on the brink of climate collapse.The protagonist of this story has no understanding of the words &“winter&”, "cold&”, or "snow" because he has never experienced the phenomena they describe. We find ourselves in Victorica, a province of La Pampa, Argentina, some time after 2197 – the year in which the last of the Antarctic icecaps melted and an unprecedented climate catastrophe ensued, radically transforming the landscape of the region into a Caribbean Pampas. It is here that the Dengue Child grows up, a mutant mix of child and mosquito, the result of crazy experimenting driven by ultra-capitalistic corporations racing against each other to own viruses and their cures, destroying even their very own children&’s existence to cash in on the stock exchange.Another of the surprising effects of the thaw is the appearance of powerful telepathic pebbles from the bowels of the earth that seem to encapsulate the world's original wisdom, and which are the subject of lucrative smuggling. Meanwhile, the wealthy of the region chose to cruise around on ships where they can experience ice-skating and hand carve ice from valuable remains of glaciers. In their ultra-air conditioned homes, their kids play Indians vs Christians, a brutal video game set in the historical 19th century. The future according to Michel Nieva looks frenetic and shocking. His is one of the most exciting literary voices emerging from Argentina, packing punches in a deeply intelligent, informed, and humorful prose which takes root in Latin American storytelling and sci-fi tradition.
