Su eficacia depende de la simulación sistemática y propagandística de una pretendida correspondencia entre Estado y Nación que cohesione el tejido social; reemplazando así la compacta función identitaria que, en las etnias originarias, tuvieran antiguamente los mitos mantenedores de la polis arcaica. Sin esa simulación pseudo-étnica, enraizada en la historia oficial, los estados entran en crisis de legitimidad. La labor de la literatura consiste en desmontar esos relatos legitimadores y reemplazar la historiografía oficializante con una etnografía imaginaria y paródica. La rescritura del pasado desde la marginalidad, el rescate de versiones subalternas y el reemplazo del ideario hegemónico dan muestra del poder de la literatura y el cine de actuar sobre la memoria colectiva de los pueblos, en pos de una verdad ideológica más actual y necesaria. Reuniendo ensayos críticos sobre diversos géneros (crónica, novela, cuento, poesía, ensayo y testimonio), desde el período colonial hasta el contemporáneo, Erik Camayd-Freixas devela los métodos literarios de reinterpretación histórica que enmarcan el triunfo liberador de la parodia etnográfica sobre la historiografía oficial y su vieja ideología de dominación.

This volume examines primitivism and its implications for contemporary debates on Latin American culture, literature, and arts, showing how Latin American subjects employ a Western construct to "return the gaze" of the outside world and redefine themselves in relation to modernity.
Examining such subjects as Julio Cortázar and Frida Kahlo and such topics as folk art and cinema, the volume brings together for the first time the views of scholars who are currently engaging the task of cultural studies from the standpoint of primitivism. These varied contributions include analyses of Latin American art in relation to social issues, popular culture, and official cultural policy; essays in cultural criticism touching on ethnic identity, racial politics, women's issues, and conflictive modernity; and analytical studies of primitivism's impact on narrative theory and practice, film, theater, and poetry.
This collection contributes offers a new perspective on a variety of significant debates in Latin American cultural studies and shows that the term primitive does not apply to these cultures as much as to our understanding of them.

Interpreting in a Changing Landscape: Selected Papers from Critical Link 6. Amsterdam: John Benjamins, 2013. 15-30.
The changing landscape in interpreting includes a recent trend toward criminalizing unauthorized immigration, giving rise to a procedurally and ethically ambiguous area of the law: " crimmigration. " Its contradictions in terms of constitutional, civil, and human rights came to the fore in the 2008 Postville, Iowa immigration raid and mass felony prosecutions, a landmark case that challenged interpreter codes of ethics and the role of professional organizations in responding to such challenges. This paper examines both the intrinsic and interpretive limitations of existing ethical codes through a historical analysis of their development in relation to the main traditions in ethical theory – deontology, consequentialism, moral sentiments, and virtue ethics – and using Postville as a practical case study. Recommendations are made for an in-depth revision of interpreter codes and the proactive leadership role of professional organizations, proposing as model the interpreter code of ethics of the Massachusetts Trial Courts.
