Short Abstract:

This panel offers an opportunity to present new readings of well-known and less familiar literary texts.

Long Abstract:

Can there be another, radically new reading of La Rayuela? Can another interpretation of the window in Juan Pablo Castel's painting shed fresh light on the nature of El túnel? Will we understand Latin American history better if we delve deeper into Balún Canán? Latin Americanists studying literature will gather in this panel to answer these and other questions relating to new readings of well-known and less familiar texts. We are particularly interested in new ways of examining the texts that have been 'overanalysed', as well as cross-disciplinary perspectives on literary texts. The topics to be covered by the forum include, but are not limited to, the following:

- intertextual and/or crosscultural analyses

- cross-disciplinary analyses of individual works

- literary representations of history

- gender theory and literary analysis
