While most of Sarduy's literary work is available in English, his theoretical writings have largely remained untranslated. This volume-presenting Sarduy's central theoretical contribution, \u003ci\u003eBarroco\u003c\/i\u003e (1974), alongside other related works-remedies that oversight.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eBarroco\u003c\/i\u003e marks a watershed in postwar thought on the Baroque, both in French post-structuralism and in the Latin American context. Sarduy traces a double history, reading events in the history of science alongside developments in the history of art, architecture, and literature. What emerges is a theory of the Baroque as decentering and displacement, as supplement and excess, a theory capacious enough to account for the old European Baroque as well as its queer, Latin American and global futures.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn addition to \u003ci\u003eBarroco\u003c\/i\u003e, this volume includes texts spanning Sarduy's career, from 1960s essays published originally in \u003ci\u003eTel Quel\u003c\/i\u003e to late works from the 1980s and '90s. It thus offers a complete picture of Sarduy's thinking on the Baroque.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSevero Sarduy\u003c\/b\u003e (1937-1993) was a Cuban novelist, poet, playwright, painter, critic, and winner of the Prix Médicis Étranger. \u003cb\u003eAlex Verdolini\u003c\/b\u003e is a PhD candidate in Comparative Literature at Yale University and teaches at the Cooper Union. \u003cb\u003eIván Hofman\u003c\/b\u003e is a PhD candidate in Comparative Literature at New York University.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 200\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.4 x 8.4 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 12, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47450856652978,"sku":"9781503641136","price":41.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/0bc11d5240853429c221353430923169_e434d2d9-b71c-4490-b15c-43f2e5e24213.webp?v=1778790784","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/barroco-and-other-writings-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
