New Books in Literary StudiesRebecca Janzen, "Unlawful Violence: Mexican Law and Cultural Production" (Vanderbilt UP, 2022)Violence has only increased in Mexico since 2000: 23,000 murders were recorded in 2016, and 29,168 in 2017.The abundance of laws and constitutional amendments that have cropped up in response are mirrored in Mexico's fragmented cultural production of the same period. Contemporary Mexican literature grapples with this splintered reality through non-linear stories from multiple perspectives, often told through shifts in time. The novels, such as Jorge Volpi's Una novela criminal [A Novel Crime] (2018) and Julián Herbert's La casa del dolor ajeno [The House of the Pain of Others] (2015) take multiple perspectives and follow non-linear plotlines; other examples, such as the very...2025-03-0559 min

Hagley History HangoutHoly Holes: Mining and Religion in the Americas with Rebecca JanzenWhen miners go underground, they enter a spiritual realm distinct from that aboveground. Across time, places, and cultures, miners have made religious observance part of their work, building shrines, making offerings, and naming places after sacred personages. What connects these practices, and how can we access the meaning behind them?
The latest research of Rebecca Janzen, professor of Spanish and comparative literature at the University of South Carolina, addresses this cultural phenomenon as it has been manifested by miners in the Americas from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. Studying cases in the United States, Mexico, Brazil, and others, Janzen...2024-03-1828 min

Janzen wilde kijken of bomen op een stuk grond in Costa Rica sneller zouden terug groeien als er landbouwafval als compost werd gebruikt. Hij kiepte 1000 vrachtladingen met sinaasappelpulp op braakliggend terrein en binnen no time groeide er weer van alles. Alleen een concurrerend sinaasappelbedrijf werd jaloers en saboteerde het project door te beweren dat het gevaarlijk was voor het milieu.
