The word transfigured - CRITICAL

http://linkillo.blogspot.com/2010/10/la-palabra-transfigurada.html

is so wise and so Castellani brave as critical intervention critical. Discursive essay on war and the word transfigured (Buenos Aires, Cabiria, 2010) of Diego Bentivegna you could only blame their brevity (and its author, a rush to publish the book.)
The starting point is to put Castellani Bentivegna, who so far has worked only as a reference literature (and not the busiest) on file with the Argentine detective genre as a theoretical reading (understood in all its practical implications: criticism, pedagogy, interpretation of sacred texts, etc ...).
In doing so, rejects Bentivegna (implicitly) the hegemonic currents of academic criticism, as myopia has prevented the production of Castellani put in its rightful place. Of course, such restitution can only be done from a position that combines the same time, the indefatigable curiosity archivist of classical scholarship and the outsider mindedness: fortunately, Bentivegna has already given evidence of all those properties, which in its critical Castellani shine with unusual power.
Castellani, in view of Bentivegna, placed at equal distance of elitism ("Gnostic?) Of Borges and Arlt modern machines and Bioy Casares (as Sarlo presentations) and, in fact, without the notion of "word transfigured" from whom he dedicated his extraordinary intellectual capacity, inter alia, to the translation of the Apocalypse of John of Patmos and nationalist outbursts, said Bentivegna, the cultural landscape of modern Argentina is incomplete.
Along with his (delicious, deep, thoughtful) monograph on the critical work of Castellani, Bentivegna offers a chronology of works long neglected and a selection of excerpts from readings Castellani, where you will find a way of relating to the problems of literature, pedagogy, reading, intellectual intervention certainly prove the originality of Castellani and, above all, the insights of Bentivegna, which opens the door to a whole world of problems for which one can not remain indifferent. Bentivegna
Castellani reads a position that relates (with gentle wisdom) with Dante, with Pasolini (authors who loves precisely why) as they are fundamental in sustaining a "utopia heteroglossia. "hypothesis is essential to assess the peculiar Castellani nationalism, above all, to meet all concentration camp fantasies of monolingualism and unique speech, for which we are now so trapped.
Catholic, can only Castellani sustain universal but their religions, as Agamben reminds us, may come before that of religare relegare: Fair is not in more or less full in relation to the universal, but to relegate all abstract reductionism: in the tension (listen Bentivegna in Castellani) are held ways of life.
