Spanning forty years of intellectual production, the essays compiled here trace a journey through the continent's literature, from Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz to contemporary authors. More than an anthology, the book offers a unique reading machine that reveals the evolution of a lucid and transformative critical thought. The reader will find a profound analysis of classic and modern authors, presented with the analytical intensity that characterized Ludmer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe volume collects critical texts by Josefina Ludmer written over four decades, originally published in books, academic proceedings, and specialized journals. The selection functions as a tentative history of Latin American literature, addressing figures such as Sor Juana, the gauchesca, Mexican naturalism, Macedonio Fernández, Alfonsina Storni, Jorge Luis Borges, Felisberto Hernández, Guillermo Cabrera Infante, Augusto Roa Bastos, and Pedro Juan Gutiérrez. At the same time, the essays constitute the history of a critical thought in action, showing recurrences and variations that define one of the most brilliant moments of regional literary criticism. The intensive reading proposal that Ludmer applies to each text becomes the very substance of the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Topics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHistory of Latin American literature from a non-linear critical perspective.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eAnalysis of the gauchesca and its discursive transformations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eIntensive reading of canonical and marginal authors of the continent.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eMethodology of literary criticism as a productive reading machine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRelationships between literature, politics, and culture in Latin America.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at students and professionals of literature, literary theory, and Latin American studies.
