Description
Gustavo Illades and James Iffland, eds. El "Quijote" desde America. Puebla: Benemerita Universidad Autonoma de Puebla/El Colegio de Mexico, 2006.399 pp. An anthology with the title El "Quijote" desde America, published just after the year of anniversary symposia, points toward two promising possibilities: 1) a symposium that conceptualized the state of the discipline in the Americas, exploring common interests and divergences among nations that approach Cervantes from a post colonial locus and perspective and offering a model that aligns disciplinary practices along hemispheric lines rather than the traditional emphasis on a shared linguistic heritage; or 2) a theme-centered symposium that would build upon the interest in New World and transatlantic topics that arose in conjunction with the revisioning of Columbus' legacy at the 500th anniversary of the discovery/encounter. (1) The volume does touch on those topics, but they are not the focal point; rather, like most anthologies derived from a conference, it provides a large number of high quality essays on a wide diversity of topics, as well as a few more problematic studies that point to the challenges faced by an evolving discipline with three distinct geographical axes.
