In(ter)ventions of the Self by Sergio R. Franco PDF Summary

Book Description: "In(ter)ventions of the Self incorporates close readings of the analyzed autobiographical texts of five canonical writers (three of whom are Nobel Prize winners) who have been previously unexplored. This book's novelty and innovation lies in its examination of a corpus that has never before been systematically studied, and includes thorough examination of five canonical authors, Gabriel García Márquez, Margo Glantz, Pablo Neruda, Severo Sarduy and Mario Vargas Llosa, three of which are Nobel Laureates. In(ter)ventions of the Self focuses on the examination of notions of subjectivity, identity, truth, verisimilitude, race, gender, ideology, image, memory, body and eroticism as they are represented in the symbolic space of the autobiographical discourse. The text strives to capture the characteristic traits of these authors' self-representation during the period that begins with the 1974 publication of Pablo Neruda's Confieso que he vivido, and extends to 2002, year in which García Márquez's Vivir para contarla appears in print. These dates correspond both to the increase in the production of autobiographical texts in Spanish America as well as to the shift from a modern to a postmodern sensibility. In other words, this book examines the Spanish American autobiographical discourse in terms of the invalidation or problematization of the great metanarratives of progress and liberation, the debilitation of the political, the emergence of marginal and marginalized subjectivities, an increased ecological consciousness, the climax of a social trend towards the visual and the spatial, as well as the vindication of intimism and the value of sensitivity and everyday socialities. The primary audience for this book are literary scholars and graduate students specializing in the canonical authors studied. Secondary audiences include specialists in autobiographies and memoirs, and historians, and cultural critics studying contemporary Latin America"--
