Piranhas in the Stomach and Other Poems
No full textCan you experiment by stripping things to the basics?
Björk’s Medúlla (2004) is by far her most revolutionary release: yet, the album features vocals only. The record suggests that beat boxing, growls, and squelches resonate louder (and more viscerally) than the finest symphony orchestra. The Icelandic singer’s larynx seems regressive and progressive at once. I am not Björk but I embrace her artistic vision: there is something primal about obsessive anaphora and plain diction which outweighs the sophistications of meter. After all, parallelism and catalogue verse were widely used in epic poetry and other instances of verbal lore. That said, conforming to the long tradition of anaphoric listing does not prevent the imagery from being fresher than a multi-fruit smoothie. Popular culture icons like Donnie Darko and SpongeBob are welcomed into my poetry, where the confessional always blends with the consumerist. What is more, pop art-esque references (“Sad Meal”) coexist with surreal phrasings (“sliced eyeballs”), thus raising questions like: what if Un Chien Andalou was shot inside a McDonald’s restaurant? Or even: what if Salvador Dalì redesigned the logo of IKEA? Juxtaposition is the key to unleash a world where piranhas swim in rivers of gastric acid. Björk’s acapella tour de force taught me this—who said that a choir cannot be paired with a human trombone
Digital Decodings? Becoming-Ungenderable in Online Spaces
No full textThe online self is a new kind of body, producing new kinds of affects and offering new opportunities for self-expression. This paper draws on the ontological framework developed by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari in their seminal work Capitalism and Schizophrenia (1983; 1987) to explore the operation of gender in digital space. The constitution of the (gendered) self online is understood as a deliberate, measured act, allowing users to curate their identities in ways more fully expressive of their desires than is possible offline. Two possibilities thus emerge: the imposition of gendered subjectivities may be resisted – and perhaps escaped altogether – or the masculine/feminine binary may be further entrenched through the visual medium. In either case, the Internet Age is characterised by more dynamic, creative and intense modes of gender politics
Oltre Marechiare: Prime osservazioni sulla poesia napoletana del XXI secolo
No full textThis paper describes some of the routes taken by Neapolitan poetry during the 21st century, paying particular attention to the most recognizable literary experiences and to authors whose works have been relevant for the evolution of the local poetic language. The paper traces a linguistic and formal path of the main tendencies of Neapolitan poetry: starting from the persistence of dialect, it continues by addressing experimentalism in Italian poetry written in Naples. Then, it focuses on the junction of performance and spoken strategies with long poems and narrative compositions, which I compare to the current directions of contemporary lyric poetry. The purpose of this paper is to offer a preliminary recognition of what happened in Neapolitan poetry from 2000 to 2020, overcoming the critical boycott of an area which has always expressed an outstanding literary and cultural vivacity.
Pur senza pretendere di restituirne un quadro completo, il contributo intende descrivere alcuni percorsi della poesia del Duemila prodotta a Napoli. L’attenzione è rivolta alle scritture maggiormente riconoscibili e ad alcuni casi singoli di autrici e autori significativi per l’evoluzione della lingua poetica (non solo) locale. In particolare, l’articolo traccia un itinerario formale e linguistico delle tendenze più marcate della poesia partenopea: partendo dalla resistenza della linea dialettale, si passa allo sperimentalismo nella poesia in lingua italiana; la performatività e le possibilità esecutive del testo poetico si intrecciano poi con la forma-poemetto e le non poche narrazioni in versi, alle quali si contrappone un esame degli orientamenti della produzione lirica contemporanea. L’obiettivo è quello di offrire una prima ricognizione di quanto si è mosso nel primo XXI secolo in area napoletana, superando in questo modo un certo ostracismo critico nei confronti di una zona più che mai in fermento sul fronte poetico e letterario.

Introduction to the Special Issue on “Water and (neo)Extractivism in Latin America” Editorial
No full textWe are happy to share with our readers a series of seven articles, to be published between mid-October and mid-December, from diverse disciplinary perspectives – including anthropology, archaeology, political science, development studies and critical sociology and geography – showing the diversity of existing approaches to study water (neo)extractivism. Moreover, the special issue covers a large geographic area, with two cases from Central America – Honduras and Guatemala – and five cases from South American countries – Chile, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil and Colombia
Water Conflicts in the Elqui River Watershed: New Water Territories Challenging Chilean Water Institutional Framework
Get PDFChilean extractive development model remains on a neoliberal water-management institutional framework edified by Augusto Pinochet’s dictatorship and perpetuated by the Concertation of Parties for Democracy governments (Tecklin et al. 2011). This model therefore appears as an example of new forms of extractivism in Latin America (Gudynas 2011), which can be defined as a “patrón de acumulación basado en la sobreexplotación de recursos naturales, en gran parte no renovables, así como en la expansión de las fronteras hacia territorios antes considerados como «improductivos»” (Svampa, 2013:33). It was implemented during the dictatorship by means of structural reforms opposed to the Unidad Popular government policies headed by Salvador Allende. Several laws encouraged foreign investments to develop new strategic export industries such as mining, agriculture, hydroelectric energy, forestry or pisciculture (Quiroja 1994). Moreover, the current constitution, enacted in 1980, represents the core of the neoliberal institutional framework currently shaping the Chilean state (Moulian 2002). This article aims to analyze the plurality of water conflicts existing at the watershed level in an extractivist context
The Many Natures of Water in Latin-American Neo-Extractivist Conflicts
Get PDFThousands of diverse ‘water protectors’ representing different ethnic, cultural, and social backgrounds throughout the American continent are standing firm against the destruction of ecological systems carried out by extractive development projects. One recent example concerning indigenous peoples has been the mobilization carried out by the Hunkpapa Lakota and Yanktonai Dakota Native American people of the Standing Rock Sioux reservation against the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline. The pipeline project is a $3.8 billion investment to move 500,000 barrels of domestic crude oil a day through four U.S. states. If constructed, the Dakota pipeline would pass through sacred burial grounds as well as the Missouri river – the main water source for the Standing Rock Sioux population
Resilience and community pride after a hurricane: counter-narratives from rural water systems in Puerto Rico
Get PDFWhen Hurricane María stripped Puerto Rico of its characteristic verdant foliage, it revealed complex layers of hidden geographies. The media coverage in the United States presented the destruction through visual and textual references to developing and “third-world” landscapes, while the accompanying headlines reminded us that its residents are “Americans”. This provocative juxtaposition was supported by several photographic themes, such as residents surveying debris or floods engulfing vehicles and neighborhoods. This article explores narratives of post-María experiences from non-PRASA communities. It is based on mixed-method interviews with non-PRASA community residents about conditions after the hurricane, in phone interviews conducted between September 2017 and January 2018, and in in-person interviews carried out in December 2017. Patterns are evident in these narratives that highlight the different experiences of consumers depending on their water source and access technology, and also highlight the contrasts that these residents drew with neighboring, PRASA-served communities. The experiences related below reveal how non-PRASA communities contribute to the overall Puerto Rican waterscape. They also illuminate issues around the discourses of sustainability and agency, development, society and technology, and colonialism
Dialogues of Indigenous Afro-Latinxs (re)existence: Possible decolonialities
Get PDFThis article is the result of the dialogue started in the symposium "Decolonizing the Global North: Afro-Latin America, the Caribbean and Abya Yala in Diaspora" during the International Congress of Americanists (56th ICA 2018). Written by eight hands in the format of a conversation, this text aims to expose the conditions of oppression experienced by indigenous and Afro-Latinx peoples from two positionalities. The first is the voice of researchers immersed in their given settings. This is followed by the comments of peer researchers addressing issues related to institutional racism, the exploitation and use of land, and the construction of identities and queer spaces from a decolonial perspective. This dialogue attempts to point toward possible horizons of liberation from exchanges that can build networks of solidarity
