Anotácia knihy

Hailed when first published in Spanish in 1988 as the best example of Latin American critical thought to appear in recent years, Josefina Ludmer's El Genero Gauchesco describes the emergence of gaucho poetry - which uses the voice of the cowboy of the Argentine pampas for political purposes - as an urgent encounter of popular and elite tradition, of subaltern and hegemonic discourses. Molly Weigel's translation captures the original's daringly innovative literary flavour, making available for the first time in English a book that opened a new arena in Latin American cultural history. While examining the formulation of the genre whose origins pre-existed the consolidation of Argentina as a nation state but that gained significance only after the country's independence, Ludmer cogently elucidates the relationship of literature to the state, as well as the complex positionings of gender within that struggle. The Gaucho Genre begins as a sociological investigation into "outsider" culture, but quickly moves on to close textual analyses of works by Hidalgo, Ascasubi, Del Campo, Hernandez, Sarmiento, and Borges. It ultimately culminates in the assertion that language, marked as it is by the collisions of high and low culture, constitutes the central issue of Latin American modernisation projects. Extensive annotation renders this edition of Ludmer's seminal study easily accessible for a North American audience. The Gaucho Genre's far-reaching implications will make it valuable reading for a varied audience. While teachers and students of Latin American literature and criticism will find it an important resource, it will also interest those concerned with the processes of nation building or in the complex intersections of dominant and marginal voices.
