Beyond Human
Author: Maryanne L. Leone

Publisher: University of Toronto Press
Release Date: 2023-10-02
Chronicling sixteenth-century Spain to the present day, Beyond Human aims to decentre the human and acknowledge the material historicity of more-than-human nature. The book explores key questions relating to ecological equity, justice, and responsibility within and beyond Spain in the Anthropocene. Examining relations between Iberian cultural practices, historical developments, and ecological processes, Maryanne L. Leone, Shanna Lino, and the contributors to this volume reveal the structures that uphold and dismantle the non-human–human dichotomy and nature-culture divide. The book critiques works from the Golden Age to the twenty-first century in a wide range of genres, including comedia, royal treatises, agricultural reports, paintings, satirical essays, horror fiction and film, young adult and speculative literature, poetry, graphic novels, and television series. The authors contend that Spanish cultural studies must expose the material historicity that entangles today’s ecological crises and ecosocial injustices with previous, future, and contemporary entities. The book argues that this will require the simultaneous decentring of the human and of the Anthropocene as an ecocritical framework. By standardizing ecosocial analysis and widening avenues for ecopedagogical approaches, Beyond Human participates in the ecocentric transformation of Hispanic cultural studies.

Island in the Light / Isla en la luz is a fascinating and insightful compilation that pairs contemporary Cuban visual art and literature by having 30 prominent writers respond to the works of 35 renowned artists. Contemporary Cuban art, literature, and music come together in Island in the Light / Isla en la luz. This bilingual compilation of the work of 35 artists and 30 writers began by selecting artwork by renowned artists and asking prominent writers to create original stories, poems, or essays in response. The result is a thoroughly original and captivating selection of visual arts and literature in dialogue that conveys a sense of the essence and energy of Cuban arts today. Artists represented include Tania Bruguera, Maria Magdalena Campos-Pons, Yoan Capote, Teresita Fernández, Roberto Fabelo, Carlos Garaicoa, and Enrique Martinez Celaya. Among the writers are Wendy Guerra, José Kozer, Jorge Enrique Lage, Legna Rodríguez Iglesias, Achy Obejas, Leonardo Padura, and Reina María Rodríguez. The works are drawn from the Jorge M. Pérez Art Collection; the majority have been gifted to the Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM), while the others are promised gifts to PAMM. The volume also includes music: Pavel Urkiza composed original scores inspired by several of the selections that readers link to through QR codes. In addition to the short stories, poems, and essays inspired by the artwork, the volume includes commentary and critical essays by Jorge M. Pérez, Carlos Garaicoa, and Wendy Guerra and Leonardo Padura. Proceeds benefit The Jorge M. Pérez Family Foundation, which will redirect the funds to arts organizations.
El lugar donde mueren los pájaros
El lugar donde mueren los pájaros reúne diez nuevos relatos de Tomás Downey, ganador del primer premio del concurso de letras del Fondo Nacional de las Artes en 2013 y finalista en 2016 del Premio Hispanoamericano Gabriel García Márquez por su elogiado primer conjunto de cuentos Acá el tiempo es otra cosa. Los protagonistas de estas nuevas historias viven al borde del abismo personal, ese lugar donde puede ocurrir lo extraordinario. Tres hermanas preadolescentes concretan un fatídico ritual. Una analista de datos decide dejar a su bebé en un balcón para concentrarse mejor en sus planillas. Una señora obsesionada con la telenovela de la tarde empieza a escuchar un zumbido que sale de su televisor. Seres de otro planeta, los Täkis, llegan a la Tierra y emboban a la población. Un abuelo autoritario revela su debilidad en una visita con su nieto a una peluquería. Dos niñas aburridas que veranean con sus padres en la costa encuentran en el lugar donde mueren los pájaros una fuente singular de distracción. Conjunto hecho de historias sobre equilibrios frágiles y relaciones tensadas al extremo, El lugar donde mueren los pájaros descubre el revés inadvertidamente siniestro de situaciones cotidianas anodinas. En esta esperada segunda colección de cuentos, Downey se confirma como un escritor audaz, hábil para deslizarse con maestría del costumbrismo al fantástico, dueño de una voz única.
