"Published through the Recovering Languages and Literacies of the Americas initiative, supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The rich storytelling traditions of the Ashéninka Perené Arawaks of eastern Peru are showcased in this bilingual collection of traditional narratives, ethnographic accounts, women's autobiographical stories, songs, chants, and ritual speeches. The Ashéninkas are located in the colonization frontier at the foot of the eastern Andes and the western fringe of the Amazonian jungle. Unfortunately, their language has a slim chance of surviving because only about three hundred fluent speakers remain. This volume collects and preserves the power and vitality of Ashéninka oral and linguistic traditions, as told by thirty members of the Native community. Upper Perene Arawak Narratives of History, Landscape, and Ritual covers a range of themes in the Ashéninka oral tradition, through genres such as myths, folk tales, autobiographical accounts, and ethnographic texts about customs and rituals, as well as songs, chants, and oratory. Transcribed and translated by a specialist in Ashéninka language varieties, Elena Mihas, and grounded in the actual performances of Asheninka speakers, this collection makes these stories available in English for the first time. Each original text in Ashéninka is accompanied by an English translation and each theme is introduced with an essay providing biographical, cultural, and linguistic information. The result is a masterful, authoritative, yet entertaining and provocative collection of oral literature that vividly testifies to the power of Ashéninka storytelling"--

Aquest article postula la possibilitat de precisar un lloc d'arrelament entre les dones escriptores des de la condició d'exili en la formulació escriptuària. La condició d'exili (interior o exterior), soferta al llarg de la segona meitat del segle XX per raons polítiques entre els intel·lectuals argentins, és més densa en el cas de les dones que escriuen. Condició que es pot rastrejar formalment a les escriptures, les dones observades en aquest plantejament, Tununa Mercado i María Negroni, aconsegueixen fer i fer-se un lloc des d'eixa coordenada aportant una altra manera de fer literatura. En aquest article es donarà compte d'eixe lloc partint de dues de les novel·les de les autores: Yo nunca te prometí la eternidad (2005) i La Anunciación (2007), respectivament. ; This article calls for the possibility of determining a settlement place for the women who contribute to the writing process as exiles. The exile expericence, whether interior or exterior, that was endured for policital reasons by Argentinean intellectuals during the second half of the 20th century, was more intense for women who write. This experience is reliably reproduced in the writings of the two women studied in this paper: Tununa Mercado and María Negroni. Both of these women are able to make and make for themselves a place from that location; they provide a different way of making literature. This article will analyze that place using two of their novels: Yo nunca te prometí la eternidad [I never promised you eternity] (2005) and La anunciación [The Annunciation] (2007), respectively. ; El presente artículo postula la posibilidad de precisar un lugar de arraigo entre las mujeres que escriben desde la condición de exilio en la formulación escrituraria. La condición de exilio (interior o exterior), sufrida a lo largo de la segunda mitad del siglo XX por razones políticas entre los intelectuales argentinos, se adensa en el caso de las mujeres que escriben. Condición rastreable formalmente en sus escrituras, las mujeres observadas en este planteo, Tununa Mercado y María Negroni, consiguen hacer y hacerse un lugar desde esa coordenada aportando otra manera de hacer literatura. En este artículo se dará cuenta de ese lugar desde dos de sus novelas: Yo nunca te prometí la eternidad (2005) y La Anunciación (2007), respectivamente. ; Artikulu honek erbestealditik idazten duten emakumeentzat idazketa-formulazioan sustraitze-toki bat zehazteko aukera defendatzen du. XX. mendearen bigarren erdialdean, arrazoi politikoak zirela eta, Argentinako intelektualek jasandako erbestealdia (barnekoa zein kanpokoa) larriagoa izan zen emakumezko idazleen artean. Emakume horien idazketetan formalki ikus daiteke erbesteratuak izatearen arrastoa. Lan honetan aztertutako emakumeek, Tutuna Mercadok eta María Negronik, bizitzan beren tokia topatzea lortzen dute eta literatura egiteko beste modu bat eskaintzen digute. Artikulu honetan, toki horren berri emango dugu haien bi eleberri oinarri hartuta: Yo nunca te prometí la eternidad (2005) eta La Anunciación (2007), hurrenez hurren.
