Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Explores the trope of modernity in Garca Ponces writings.At face value, the concept of modernity seems to reference a stream of social and historical traffic headed down a utopian oneway street named progress. Mexicos Ruins examines modernity in twentiethcentury Mexican culture as a much more ambiguous concept, arguing that such a singleminded notion is inadequate to comprehend the complexity of modern Mexicos national projects and their reception by the nations citizenry. Instead, through the trope of modernity as ruin, author Ral RodrguezHernndez explores the dilemma presented by the etymology of ruins: a simultaneous falling down and rising up, a confluence of opposing forces at work on the skyline of the metropolis since 1968. He focuses on artists and writers of the generacin de medio siglo, like Juan Garca Ponce, and envisions both the tales of modernity and their storytellers in a new light. The arts, literature, and architecture of twentiethcentury Mexico are all examined in this crosscultural and interdisciplinary book.RodrguezHernndez offers an intriguing interpretation of [Garca Ponces] writing This wellresearched work incorporates historical and literary references, Freudian precepts, and the plastic arts (Mexican murals, photos, monuments). CHOICERodrguezHernndez accomplishes what he describes in Garca Ponces fiction: he opens readers to new connections, moving them beyond a Manichaean choice of modernity versus ruin, toward a flexible reading of the mobility and interreferential nature of both. RodrguezHernndez teaches his readers the pleasure and necessity of reading ruins, whether archeological, cultural, political, or literary. The debris of the past is everpresent.
