Ironia y violencia en la literatura latinoamericana contemporanea

El presente libro se propone explorar los vinculos entre la ironia -y sus formas contiguas como el cinismo, el absurdo, la parodia o el humor negro- y la violencia en la literatura latinoamericana contemporanea. El objetivo consiste en crear un acercamiento novedoso entre dos paradigmas teoricos: el campo de la ironologia, por un lado, y los estudios de la violencia y de la memoria, por el otro. Asi, last distintas contribuciones se proponen explorar la siguiente pregunta central: ?cual es el alcance subversivo de la ironia y como debemos apreciar su dimension etica, afectiva y politica en el discurso literario latinoamericano sobre la violencia? El principio de la diversidad es el que rige esta compilacion de ensayos. Incluye la variedad de localidades y experiencias de la violencia extrema (desde las dictaduras del Cono Sur pasando por Centroamerica hasta Mexico); las epocas historicas sobre las versan los textos literarios; y las diversas propuestas esteticas que los textos ofrecen. La diversidad, por ultimo, tambien atane a las diferentes definiciones manejadas por los autores (desde Hegel, hasta Kierkegaard, De Man, Hutcheon o Rorty) para acercarse a las variadas relaciones entre la ironia y la violencia.

This book aims to explore the links between irony -and its contiguous forms such as cynicism, the absurd, parody or black humor- and violence in contemporary Latin American literature. The objective is to create a novel approach between two theoretical paradigms: the field of ironology, on the one hand, and the studies of violence and memory, on the other. Thus, the different contributions intend to explore the following central question: what is the subversive scope of irony and how should we appreciate its ethical, affective and political dimension in the Latin American literary discourse on violence? The principle of diversity is what governs this compilation of essays. It includes the variety of locations and experiences of extreme violence (from the dictatorships of the Southern Cone through Central America to Mexico); the historical epochs on which the literary texts are concerned; and the various aesthetic proposals that the texts offer. Finally, diversity also concerns the different definitions handled by the authors (from Hegel to Kierkegaard, De Man, Hutcheon or Rorty) to approach the various relationships between irony and violence.
