Histoire et fiction dans l'œuvre de Horacio Castellanos Moya
No full textThe late twentieth century and early twenty-first century have seen revived the debate about the relationship between history and literature, understood as fiction, in the sense of a blurring of boundaries between the two. Based on this premise, our study at the crossroads of these two concepts aims to show the links between contemporary Central American history and fiction in novels of Honduras-Salvadoran author Horacio Castellanos Moya. Indeed, the history of several Central American countries, marked by years of dictatorship, civil wars and political or economic violence has had a significant impact on many local authors. The fictional work of Horacio Castellanos Moya bears evident traces. To identify, understand their issues and how they appear in the novels, the study was divided into three main parts. The first deals with the biographical data Horacio Castellanos Moya as man and writer; the second, the main historical facts themed and the last of their stage in the work.La fin du XXe siècle et le début du XXIe siècle ont vu renaître le débat sur les rapports entre l’histoire et la littérature, entendue comme fiction, dans le sens d'un effacement des frontières entre les deux. Partant de ce postulat, notre étude, à la croisée de ces deux notions, a pour objectif de montrer les liens qui existent entre l’histoire centraméricaine contemporaine et la fiction dans les romans de l’auteur honduro-salvadorien Horacio Castellanos Moya. En effet, l’histoire de plusieurs pays d’Amérique centrale, marquée par des années de dictature, de guerres civiles et de violences politiques ou économiques, a eu un impact considérable sur de nombreux auteurs de la région. L’œuvre fictionnelle de Horacio Castellanos Moya en porte des traces évidentes. Pour les déceler, comprendre leurs enjeux et la manière dont elles figurent dans les romans, l’étude a été divisée en trois grandes parties. La première traite les données biographiques de Horacio Castellanos Moya en tant qu’homme et écrivain ; la deuxième, des principaux faits historiques thématisés et la dernière de leur mise en scène dans l’œuvre

Death and Madness in the Works of Edgar Allan Poe, Horacio Quiroga, and Alfonso Hernandez-Cat
No full textIn this dissertation, I analyze the representations of the theme of horror in the short stories of Edgar Allan Poe, Horacio Quiroga, and Alfonso Hernandez-Cat. In my research, I have also analyzed the representation of the themes of death and madness that are germane to the works of Edgar Allan Poe, Horacio Quiroga, and Alfonso Hern-ndez-Cat. My analysis of their works explores psychological horror, domestic horror, madness, and death, in the works of the aforementioned authors. This dissertation proceeds from the premise that the narratives of writers such as Alfonso Hernandez-Cat are obscure in the research foci but remain germane to the topic of study in the linkages that seem to exist between madness and death in literature
Horacio Castellanos Moya: el cinismo salvadoreño
No full textThis essay examines the theme of cynicism used by the Salvadoran author Horacio Castellanos Moya in El Asco,Insensatez y El Gran Masturbador. He uses this theme as a narrative strategy to reveal that nothing has changed politically or culturally in his country even after years of devastating civil war. Inside of this cynicism we can see two sub-themes, eroticism and violence, used as expressions of a political transition from civil war to the fractured post-civil war era in El Salvador. Castellanos Moya’s prose contains very few moments of optimism attempting to represent Central America in its raw form, focusing on the region’s violent past and present
Barroco y Sociología, entre Horacio González y Eduardo Rinesi
No full textThis essay proposes an analysis of the conceptual and normative evaluation of which Horacio González is the subject in two recent publications by Eduardo Rinesi, with preeminence in his Sociology Course (2021). Our approach suggests that the author posits Horacio González in code as a central classic of the social sciences of the 21st century in Latin America, hermeneutically prolonging and at the same time polemically reconfiguring a lineage whose central references are Gino Germani and fundamentally Florestan Fernandes and Darcy Ribeiro in the twentieth century. Then we try to show how Eduardo Rinesi, disregarding the appeal to the stylistic literality of the baroque in its aesthetic meaning, nevertheless applies it argumentatively in a displaced register, reorienting it in terms of allegorical narrative construction and re-founding canonical dispute in the current debate on the logical-conceptual validity and the practical-normative status of scientific theory and cultural testing in the social sciences of the region.El ensayo propone un análisis de la evaluación conceptual y normativa de la que Horacio González es objeto en dos publicaciones de los últimos tres años de Eduardo Rinesi, con preeminencia en su Curso de Sociología (2021). Nuestra aproximación plantea que el autor postula cifradamente a Horacio González como un clásico central de las ciencias sociales del siglo XXI en América Latina. Bajo ese supuesto, el autor prolonga hermenéuticamente y a la vez reconfigura polémicamente un linaje cuyos referentes centrales son Gino Germani y fundamentalmente Florestan Fernandes y Darcy Ribeiro en el siglo XX. Eduardo Rinesi, prescindiendo de la apelación a la literalidad estilística del barroco en su acepción estética, sin embargo, lo aplica retóricamente en un registro semántico de segundo nivel, reorientándolo en términos de construcción narrativa alegórica y disputa canónica refundacional en el actual debate sobre la validez lógico-conceptual y el estatuto práctico-normativo de la teoría científica y el ensayo cultural en las ciencias sociales de la región

French intertexts in Horacio Quiroga’s narrative
No full textThis essay focuses on the french intertexts in Horacio Quiroga’s narrative, especially in fin de siècle writers such as Paul Verlaine and Guy de Maupassant, with whom he shares a decadent aesthetic. Although Quiroga’s work has already been studied in relation to those of Edgar Allan Poe and Rudyard Kipling, it has not been linked yet to the french authors of the last third of the 19th century, who were extremely important in Uruguay to Quiroga’s generation, the Generación del Novecientos. The transversal analysis suggested by the intertexts runs through his narrations taking as a starting point the little-known short story “Las voces queridas que se han callado”, to which other texts by the author are gradually associated.El presente ensayo estudia los intertextos franceses en la narrativa de Horacio Quiroga, en especial de escritores fin de siècle como Paul Verlaine y Guy de Maupassant, con quienes comparte una estética decadentista. Si bien la producción de Quiroga ya se ha estudiado en relación con la obra de Edgar Allan Poe y de Rudyard Kipling, no se ha vinculado con los autores franceses del último tercio del siglo xix, de singular importancia en Uruguay para la generación del Novecientos, a la que pertenece. La línea de análisis transversal que sugieren los intertextos recorre sus narraciones y permite realizar una lectura tomando como punto de partida el cuento poco conocido “Las voces queridas que se han callado”, al que se van asociando otros textos del autor
Fiscal decentralization, tax competition, and federal tax administration: A note from the Argentine experience
No full textThe paper analyses the usual arguments discussed in the fiscal federalism literature about fiscal decentralization through normative and positive (public choice) approaches. Afterwards, limits to enhance significantly fiscal decentralization in countries with important regional asymmetries like Argentina are analyzed. Finally, the author suggests the necessity of a fiscal institutional reform, which allows an efficient and responsible vertical coordination. A superlative role is assigned to the federal revenue administration in the suggested reform.Fiscal decentralization, Tax Competition, Federal Tax Administration, Argentina
