It argues that dance was more crucially involved in conversations about local, regional, and global culture in the early twentieth century than histories of other art-forms --or of cultural modernity writ large--have allowed us to perceive.

Antes de América: fuentes originarias en la cultura moderna, 2023
Original English version of catalog entry "Escenificar lo precolombino", on early twentieth-centu... more Original English version of catalog entry "Escenificar lo precolombino", on early twentieth-century performances based on pre-Colombian motifs. This short essay explores the ways in which music, theater, dance, and the visual arts--across the Americas and against the backdrop of centenaries of independence--experimented with conjuring lost worlds: through narrative and movement, through the recovery and use of historical instruments and motifs, and through appeals to the senses of the listener or spectator. What we find in these experiments are conversations, imitations, shared practices across the arts and across geographical areas, frequently inspired by or clustered around dance: an embodied artform that not only put fragmented images of the past in movement, but provided significant opportunities for composers, writers, and artists to participate and collaborate in the project of making past worlds palpable.

Hasta nuestro momento histórico nos llegan sus «increíbles cuerdas vocales», probando la capacidad de la poesía para nombrar, para denunciar, para convocar, y para conmovernos. En los últimos años en particular su nombre y su ética han estado reverberando en artículos periodísticos, en performances y reescrituras poéticas. En este artículo me enfoco en tres ejemplos. Primero, su importancia para dos poetas afroamericanas, Claudia Rankine y Jonah Mixon-Webster, quienes lo citan, lo analizan, lo reescriben para dar voz a injusticias específicas pero también compartidas, y para lanzar un llamado a la acción. Segundo, trazo una conexión insospechada entre la poesía de Trilce y prácticas de rescate en la danza improvisada de su época. Y finalmente, examino la reescritura irreverente y urgente de Trilce en Los salmos fosforitos (2017) de la valenciana Berta García Faet.

Roberto Bolaño in Context, ed. Jonathan Monroe, 2023
Roberto Bolaño’s The Savage Detectives is a narrative reenactment of a poetic reenactment of the ... more Roberto Bolaño’s The Savage Detectives is a narrative reenactment of a poetic reenactment of the historical avant-gardes: a novel from the 1990s that combines modernist and avant-garde narrative techniques to revisit an experimental poetic group from the 1970s as they reprise and research and recover practices and figures from the 1920s to their present. At the same time that its protagonists investigate forgotten works from the past, they also form a community that generates work in the present tense (“poetry producing poets producing poems producing poetry”, as Bolaño put it in a 1976 manifesto), that aims to interrupt the generation of what they see as unproductive forms and practices (incarnated in Octavio Paz and the peasant poets), and that reaches out to a broader international horizon of experimental poetics, primarily Peru and France but also alluding to North American, Argentinean, and Chilean experiments. This article elucidates and unpacks the novel’s handling of these various legacies and affiliations, while also underlining how it points, elliptically but continuously, to what is left out of the record of even the most encompassing histories of the avant-gardes: their female artists, whose legacy here flares up before flowing into the expanded monologue of Amulet.
