Bryan Giemza challenges the myth of the solitary genius both in scientific and humanistic endeavors and demonstrates how Cormac McCarthy is the exceptional figure whose work allows and encourages us to interrogate the marriage of the sciences and humanities Drawing from previously unsurfaced archival connections as well as a range of primary sources and interview subjects including those close to McCarthy Giemza places McCarthy s work within contemporary scientific discourse and literary criticism Timely and innovative in both content and structure the volume includes a biographical examination of the writer s love of science and the path that led him to the Santa Fe Institute and offers a rare look behind its closed doors The book probes the STEM subjects with chapters focused on technology engineering and math within and throughout McCarthy s fictional universe and biography The final chapter explores McCarthy s friendship with Guy Davenport and their shared interest in creating a unified aesthetic theory alongside McCarthy s essays and most recent literary projects The Passenger and Stella Maris In arguing that science and art are connected by aesthetics Giemza confirms the profound truth of McCarthy s unwavering belief that There s a beauty to s

El Cadáver En La Cocina Joan Ramon Resina Bertrán La difusión de la novela policíaca española durante los años setenta y, en relación con la transición política y el nuevo régimen social de las dos decadas siguientes, es lo que se aborda en este libro. Segun el autor, la novela policiaca postfranquista reflexiona sobre su condicion epifenomenal mediante un tratamiento ironico de las practicas culturales y el desarrollo de formas parodicas, que ponen en evidencia la reduccion del espacio para la accion social eficaz.

Fuera de contexto no es una novela, pero podría serlo. Una o varias, porque en este libro navegan las puntas de muchos icebergs que van derritiéndose solos y a la deriva. Es un alegato a favor del texto roto, incompleto y fragmentado.

Investiga la representación del negro en la narrativa antiesclavista del Siglo XIX en Cuba y Brasil. La profesora Rosell parte de la idea de que la literatura fundacional ficcionaliza la comunidad imaginaria que los intelectuales decimononicos aspiran a constituir, y que estas manifestaciones literarias representan un contradiscurso, ya sea del sector liberal al discurso politico y economico de la esclavitud o de la mujer con respecto al discurso masculino. Este contra discurso se inserta dentro de lo que la autora denomina "discurso de(r)mografico", al tener el color de la piel como unos de sus elementos principales, y que consiste en un proceso progresivo de "blanqueamiento". Este proceso, en la mayoria de los casos, se da a traves de la figura de la mujer, privilegiando a la mulata, que por sus caracteristicas fisicas se constituye en simbolo de los sexual/nacional.
