La reescritura de los mitos en las novelas Acerca de roderer y La mujer del maestro de Guillermo Martínez

This article investigates the presence of myths in the first two novels by Argentine writer and mathematician Guillermo Martínez. Regarding Roderer is a story about the process of maturity and maladjustment to life, impregnated with universal signs and questions, with the elements of the Faustian myth in the stage of contemporary human knowledge, present at various levels of the text: exploring the limits of human knowledge, Martinez makes the narrator reject the pact with the Devil, but it takes away his life. His second novel, The Woman of the Master, deals with the myth of Prometheus inside the story, referring to such disparate themes as talent and betrayal, generosity and envy, desire and vanity, always putting the focus on literature. Therefore, our research is based not only on the aforementioned novels but also on the author’s own reflections on literature -from his first book of essays, The Formula of Immortality, until the last published, Literary Reason-, and also in the opinions of the writer expressed in the interviews we did with him on three occasions. Our goal is to show that Guillermo Martínez writes about universal themes with a new tension, proving that Faust and Prometheus are two sides of the same myth, which is still actual.Este artículo investiga la presencia de los mitos en las dos primeras novelas del escritor y matemático argentino Guillermo Martínez. Acerca de Roderer es una historia sobre el proceso de madurez e inadaptación a la vida, impregnada de signos y preguntas universales, con los elementos del mito fáustico en el estadio del conocimiento humano contemporáneo, presentes en varios niveles del texto: explorando los límites del conocimiento humano, Martínez hace al narrador rechazar el pacto con el Diablo, pero le quita la vida. Su segunda novela, La mujer del maestro, trata el mito de Prometeo dentro de la historia, refiriéndose a los temas tan dispares como talento y traición, generosidad y envidia, deseo y vanidad, siempre poniendo el enfoque en la literatura. Por consiguiente, nuestra investigación está basada no solo en las mencionadas novelas sino también en las reflexiones del propio autor sobre literatura –desde su primer libro de ensayos La fórmula de la inmortalidad hasta el último publicado, La razón literaria–, y asimismo en las opiniones del escritor expresadas en las entrevistas que le hicimos en tres ocasiones. Nuestro objetivo es mostrar que Guillermo Martínez escribe sobre los temas universales con una nueva tensión, comprobando que Fausto y Prometeo son dos caras de un mismo mito, que sigue actual

El impacto del boom latinoamericano en los escritores serbios

In this work we want to show the strong links between Spanish-American and Serbian writers, through the books translated from Spanish and works written in Serbian. Assuming that each writer is above all a good reader, and considering the importance of translation for literature in general, we have investigated the influence of Borges, Cortázar, Fuentes, García Márquez and Vargas Llosa on Serbian writers since the 1950s until today. Through authentic testimonies - interviews made for this research - and the reviews and analysis of books and particular texts influenced by the authors of the boom, we will present a creative variety and authentic literary creation of a small country with many translations and dedicated writers, and show that the great impact of Spanish-American literature in Serbia began half a century ago and never ceased

Los reflejos de la dictadura en la obra literaria de Zoé Valdés

Resumen: Uno de los campos donde los reflejos de la dictadura se pueden observar de la manera más vívida y palpable es el campo de la literatura, que a veces representa un testimonio todavía más evidente que la historia. Una de las escritoras más comprometidas de nuestros tiempos, la cubana residente en Francia, Zoé Valdés, sería el objeto de nuestra investigación dedicada sobre todo a la influencia y la presencia de la dictadura y la prohibición en la personalidad literaria y la obra de la autora hispanoamericana en sus años cubanos y franceses. Examinaremos la narrativa de Zoé Valdés dentro de sus novelas y los libros, estudios y artículos científicos que abarcan su obra. Nos concentraremos en su relación literaria y personal conflictiva con su isla nativa, a través de la mezcla de su adoración a Cuba con las críticas más duras al gobierno castrista. Considerando varias novelas de Zoé Valdés (La nada cotidiana, El todo cotidiano, La cazadora de astros, La mujer que llora y La Habana, mon amour) y nuestra comunicación personal con la autora, intentaremos mostrar que su literatura, además de ser ficción, es también un testimonio personal de la dictadura, un homenaje a la libertad y un recurso resucitador y terapéutico en el insilio y en el exilio de la autora, durante ese proceso largo, complejo y difícil tanto de Cuba como de toda América Latina. Palabras clave: Zoé Valdés, literatura hispanoamericana, narración cubana, dictadura, transición Abstract: One of the areas where the reflections of the dictatorship can be seen in the most vivid and palpable way is the field of literature, which sometimes is even more evident witness than the history itself. One of the most politically active writers of our time, a Cuban resident in France, Zoe Valdes, was the object of our research dedicated mainly to the influence and presence of the dictatorship and the ban in the literary personality and work of the Hispanic American author, within her Cuban and French years. We explored the narrative of Zoe Valdes in her novels and books, academic articles and studies covering her work, being concentrated on her literary, personal and conflict relationship with her native island, through her worship of Cuba and the toughest criticism of the Castro’s government. Considering several novels of Zoe Valdes (La nada cotidiana, El todo cotidiano, La cazadora de astros, La mujer que llora y La Habana, mon amour)) and our personal communication with the author, we have tried to show that her literature, besides being fiction, it is also a personal testimony of a dictatorship, a tribute to freedom and a resuscitator and therapeutic resource in the insile and exile of the author, during this complex and difficult long process, both in Cuba and throughout Latin America
