PRN, la última

En estos ensayos, la doctora Graciela Montaldo analiza un conjunto de "experimentos culturales" relacionados a la modernizacion Argentina: un filme de animacion de 1917, la obra de Cesar Aira, las polemicas sobre como nombrar una epoca o la afirmacion del disparate como valor estetico le sirven para explorar la "zona ciega" de la cultura, ahi donde la experimentacion es la forma mas radical de intervencion en un pais circunscrito a la crisis y al populismo.

"Author does not like Menem or his neoliberal reforms. Believes the latter, if not reversed, will harm more people than not. Separate chapters describe the decay of morals, education, government, the economy, and national defense"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.

"Interviews with residents in poor neighborhoods of Buenos Aires are used to assess effectiveness of existing social programs and to delineate areas in need of further attention"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.

"Brilliant examination of the Italian bibliographer who lent his considerable talents to the Rosas regime in the mid 1800s. Though de Angelis might have had questionable politics, his contribution to Latin American scholarship was tremendous; he assembled and organized a vitally important collection of books, maps, documents, and pamphlets on the early history of the Plata still used today. Sabor's prize-winning study is part biography, part bibliographical essay, and wholly erudite. Recommended"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
