Abstract

PROSPERI, Germán. Childhood and New Hispanisms: Vicente Luis Mora's Alba Cromm and Andrés Neuman's Hablar solos. CELEHIS [online]. 2014, n.28, pp.143-166. ISSN 2313-9463.

Julio Ortega (2010) states that transatlantic criticism renewed international Hispanic Studies by revising established canons and strictly national approaches. This renewal makes it possible to read a series of literary texts whose national origin does not suffice at the moment of researching into their aesthetic potential. This article presents some of the characteristics of that transatlantic criticism and analyzes two novels which approach the theme of infancy (Alba Cromm, by the Spanish writer Vicente Luis Mora, 2010, and Hablar solos -Talking Alone- by the Argentinean Andrés Neuman, 2012). It pursues the aim of recording the ways in which both texts enter zones of common interests which configure new modes of Hispanic criticism.

Keywords : infancy; New Hispanic Studies; Vicente Luis Mora.
