Myth and Archive: A Theory of Latin American Narrative (includes "The Law of the Letter: Garcilaso's Comentarios")
by Roberto Gonzalez Echevarria. 250 pgs.
Myth and Archive presents a new theory of the origin and evolution of Latin American literature and the emergence of the modern novel. In this influential, award-winning exploration of Latin American writing from colonial times to the present, Roberto Gonzalez Echevarria dispenses with traditional literary history to reveal the indebted relationship of the novel to legal, scientific, and anthropological discourses.Providing ways to link literary and nonliterary narratives, Gonzalez Echevarria examines a variety of archival writings -- from the chronicles of the discovery and conquest of the New World to scientific travel narratives and records of criminal confessions -- and explores the relationship of these writings to novels by authors such as Garcia Marquez, Borges, Barnet, Sarmiento, Carpentier, and Garcilaso de la Vega. Moving beyond demonstrating that early forms of creative narrative had their geneses in the sixteenth-century authoritative discourse of the Spanish Empire, Gonzalez Echevarria shows,how this same originating process has been repeated in other key moments in the history of the Latin American narrative. He shows how the discourse of scientific discovery was the model for much nineteenth-century literature, as well as how anthropological writings on the nature of language and myth have come to shape the ideology and form of literature in the twentieth century. This most recent form of Latin American narrative creates its own mythic form through an atavistic return to its legal origins -- the archive.
This acclaimed book -- originally published in 1990 -- will be of continuing interest to historians, anthropologists, literary theorists, and students of LatinAmerican culture.

by Doris Sommer. 314 pgs.
Responding to the pressures of current theoretical trends toward models of cultural globalization, the essays collected here bring a historical focus to literary studies. They suggest that only by exploring the particularities of regional historical cultures can the multiple meanings of American identities be understood. Representing a broad range of contemporary criticism, this volume features many short essays by the most well-known & respected Latin Americanists, each devoting attention to specific matters of history. The topics range from Incan architecture to Chicano & Nuyorican habitats; from turn of the century Argentine criminology to Caribbean homophobia; from the rhetorics of independence & dictatorship to Mexican ambivalence about opera & Brazil's move beyond monarchy; & from the precarious survival of Spanish language in Latin America to its paradoxical legacy of enlightenment in the Philippines. Originally published as a special issue of Modern Language Quarterly (June 1996), this expanded edition includes a new introduction by Doris Sommer & a new essay by Vincente Rafael. Viewed together, these essays reveal a cultural richness that is sure to interest literary scholars & Latin Americanists alike.
