During the Cold War, literary art in Central America, as in Latin America in general, was strongly over-determined by the politics of the Cold War, which gave rise to popular struggle and three major armed civil wars in the 1970s and 1980s in Nicaragua, El Salvador and Guatemala. The period produced intense literary activity with political ideology central, personified by social denunciation in the testimonial novel and revolutionary poetry. Since then, though themes of violence are still at much of its core, Central American fiction has become more complex. We have witnessed a resurgence of literary writing and criticism with a focus squarely on the artistic side of narrative art: writing aware of its own figurative manoeuvres and inventiveness, its philosophical and affective dimensions, and its carefully crafted syntax. This collection of essays by Jeffrey Browitt attempts to trace some of the contours of this new literature and the contemporary subjectivities of its writers through close readings of Guatemala's Rodrigo Rey Rosa, Eduardo Halfon and Denise PheÌ-Funchal; Nicaragua's Franz Galich and Sergio RamiÌrez; Belize's David Ruiz Puga; El Salvador's Jacinta Escudos and Claudia HernaÌndez; and Costa Rica's Carlos CorteÌs. Key themes are gender, subjectivity and affect as these intersect with the deconstruction of the family, hegemonic masculinity, motherhood, revolutionary romanticism, and the relationship of humans with animals" -- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Central American fiction $y 20th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Central American fiction $y 21st century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Families in literature. 650 0 $a Sex role in literature. 650 0 $a Subjectivity in literature. 650 0 $a Reality in literature. 650 0 $a Affect (Psychology) in literature. 650 0 $a Human-animal relationships in literature. 650 7 $a Affect (Psychology) in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01902304 650 7 $a Central American fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00850671 650 7 $a Families in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00920365 650 7 $a Human-animal relationships in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963492 650 7 $a Reality in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01091250 650 7 $a Sex role in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01114649 650 7 $a Subjectivity in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01136579 648 7 $a 1900-2099 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 880 0 $6 505-00 $a Introduction -- PART I Exorcizing the National/Revolutionary Subject Chapter 1 With Crystalline Drops of Imperial Jade: David Ruiz Puga's Got seif de Cuin!
