Arguedas

Monday Arguediana

Here is a list of the posts I've written over the semester on the Peruvian author José María Arguedas (1911-1969; a brief biography in English is here).

They trace a reading of what is essentially Arguedas's entire published work (except for his correspondence and translations), in rough chronological order.

• genre (preview)
• landscape (short stories)
• carnivalesque (Yawar fiesta)
• yawar mayu (Los ríos profundos I)
• solidarity (Los ríos profundos II)
• music (El sexto)
• copy (Señores e indios)
• jetman (poetry)
• cake (review)
• recolonization (Todas las sangres I)
• flow (Todas las sangres II)
• breakdown (El zorro de arriba y el zorro de abajo)

And then, adjacent to the above series:

• vendetta (Todas las sangres alongside V is for Vendetta)
• blocks (El zorro de arriba y el zorro de abajo alongside Kafka: Toward a Minor Literature)

Finally, the essay I've written on Arguedas, the machinic, and affect:
