Topic: Arguedas


In the News (Mon 13 Feb 12)

  
  Jose Maria Arguedas: Godfather of Liberationism
Arguedas was born in 1911 in Andahuaylas, southwest of Cuzco in Peru’s southern highlands.
Arguedas clearly hoped that a transculturation similar to that which occurred earlier in Peru’s history would happen again during his lifetime.
Thus the victory of the oppressors was hollow and short-lived.

 The Fox from Up Above and the Fox from Down Below by Jose Maria Arguedas - R A I N T A X I o n l i n e
What Arguedas finds in both his own life and in the changing Peru of the 1960's is a world pulled apart at the seams by two Furies, one representing metamorphosis and the other oblivion.
Arguedas, who spent years living in Chimbote, offers a sprawling sociological portrait of its inhabitants: prosperous fisherman, mad preachers, whores, naive American priests, pig farmers, small-time bosses, and dignified squatters from the hinterlands.
Arguedas, who was an ardent socialist (his wife was later jailed for her connection to Sendero Luminoso), finds examples in this bewildering cross-section of the various ideological factions fighting to control Peru's heart: the liberation theology of the priests, the messianistic faith of the Andean squatters, and the reigning capitalism of the bosses.

 Jose Maria Arguedas
Jose was born in the province of Andahuaylas in the southern Peruvian Andes.
Arguedas was the son of Victor Manuel Arguedas Arellano and Victoria Altamirano Navarro.
Arguedas thrived on the happiness of his Indian childhood and forever led the Spanish and Indian world as a realistic and “speaking” culture.

 Assignment #1: Yawar Fiesta
It appears that in the novel Yawar Fiesta, Arguedas meant for the term misti to refer to the leading class of the town, whose culture and race/ethnicity is considered the most white, the most European, although by the time of the novel they are not completely white or completely European in any sense.
When there is suddenly "a great demand for cattle on the coast" (Arguedas 1985: 11), the mistis move up the puna to claim the land for their own to graze cattle and grow alfalfa on, taking advantage of the fact that in the Indians' culture, the "puna ha[s] no owner" (Arguedas 1985: 10).
For example, Arguedas describes the concertados as "lost souls" (1985: 24) who are looked down upon by the Indians because they "sold out" their own people in order to curry favor with the mistis.

 Review of Puentes sobre el mundo (Dora Sales Salvador)
Arguedas, a child from a white family, learnt Quechua as his mother tongue in atypical circumstances, while the case of Chandra, who grew up speaking Hindi but was educated at English-medium institutions, is more representative.
The second part (a close analysis of the two texts by Arguedas and Chandra) is organised not into discrete blocks, but, rather, by means of a sedulous counterpointing of themes and elements in which the two strands, Indian and Peruvian, intertwine in complementary fashion.
Here it is that Ernesto, Arguedas' young hero, comes to escape from the closed environment of the white boarding-school and reconnect with his true self and the Quechua imagination.

 Peru Reader- THE PONGO'S DREAM Jose Maria Arguedas
Arguedas learned Quechua as a boy from servants in the household of his stepmother and his father, an itinerant lawyer.
Until his suicide in 1967, the novelist and anthropologist was perhaps more responsible than any other Peruvian for the impassioned defense of the Incan tongue and cultural autonomy for millions of Quechua speakers, challenging the powerful ideologies of "modernization" and "national integration" predicated on the erasure of Peru's indigenous past.
But the denouement, where the world turns upside down as in the Inkarri myth, suggests the existence of a spirit of independence and opposition, which was to fuel the peasant movements of the 1950's and the break-up of the landlords' rule.

 Arguedas - Deep Rivers
José María Arguedas is one of the few Latin American authors who loved and described his natural surroundings, and he ranks among the greatest writers of any time and place.
He saw the beauty of the Peruvian landscape, as well as the grimness of social conditions in the Andes, through the eyes of the Indians who are a part of it.
While Arguedas’ poetry was published in Quechua, he invented a language for his novels in which he used native syntax with Spanish vocabulary.

 Posthegemony: copy
Rama suggests that Arguedas resorted to "a type of return to the accumulative system corresponding to earlier stages in the development of the genre" (35).
By contrast, Arguedas maintains a sense of the possible--perhaps better, the always present virtual--implicit in a landscape, human and natural, that always goes beyond the individual and his or her decisions.
Perhaps Rama's silence owes something to the fact that however much Arguedas may have struggled with literary form, however much his novels were a series of more or less inconclusive, even unsatisfactory, experiments, he seems not to have struggled in the same way with the conventions of anthropological writing.

Arguedas was not immediately identified following his death since he had a false identity card with him.
Before his stint in Barrientos’ government, Arguedas was a leftist lawyer who became a deputy for the Revolutionary Nationalist Movement (MNR) in 1963.
According to his own statements, Arguedas later worked for the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)—although the CIA’s Bolivia office originally opposed his appointment to the ministry of government because of his past membership in the youth section of the Bolivian Communist Party.

 H-Net Review: Karen Racine on Jose Maria Arguedas: Reconsiderations for Latin American ...
In these pages, both Arguedas himself and his Andean world view are brought into focus so that the reader can see how he is part of a centuries-old cultural tradition and, at the same time, a modern response to the industrializing pressures of the twentieth century.
In turn, then, this begs the question with which Arguedas himself was centrally concerned: "why write?" Of course, one writes to understand, and these articles clearly indicate that Jose Maria Arguedas was not unaware of the unresolvable contradictions in his beliefs and his literary activities, yet he felt himself compelled to write.
Because so much of Arguedas' attention was consumed with reconciling Peru's place in the modern world, and because his work reveals his concern with the supranational tendencies of the twentieth century, the articles in the anthology raise unanswered questions about Arguedas' place in world literature, and in the stream of global intellectual history.

 TRANS Nr. 15: Maria Teresa Medeiros-Lichem (Vienna University): Amerindian Rhythms in Polylogues: From Transculturation ...
The writings of Arguedas exemplify this integration of cultures, as he chooses the tool of the Spanish tongue and the structure of the realistic novel, but he shapes his prose with the syntax and rhythm of the quechua speech, a factor that results in a language of unusual lyricism.
And last but not least, important transcultural elements in Arguedas work are his language innovation in the idioms and the subtle syntactic incoherences that translate the aboriginal mind.
In this sense, Arguedas' writings may be read as an example of "learning in polylogues," as a "communicative transaction" by which the various cultural groups in the Andean region "learn" about one another, learn how the Other thinks and feels, a process that may help understand the motivations behind each other's acts.

Included with the text of the novel is Arguedas’ anthropological essay “Puquio: A Culture in the Process of Change,” written eighteen years after Yawar Fiesta.
While Arguedas’ poetry was published in Quechua, he invented a language for his novels in which he used native syntax with Spanish vocabulary, making translation into other languages extremely difficult.
