[167]-183) and index. 330 $aIn Private Topographies, Grzegorczyk identifies and analyzes the types of postcolonial subjectivity prevalent among the Creole (Euro-American) ruling classes in post-independence, nineteenth-century century Latin America as articulated through their relation to their surroundings. Exactly how did creole elites change their self-conception in the wake of independence? In what ways and why did they feel compelled to restructure their personal space? What contradictions did they respond to? Where and how were the boundaries between public and private constructed? How were the categories of race and gender relevant to this process? For the first time, this book links together political transitions (the end of the colonial period in Latin America) with "implacements" - attempts that people make to reorganize the space around them. By looking at cartographies of states and regions, the structure of towns, and appearance and lay-out of homes in literature from Mexico, Argentina and Brazil from this nineteenth century period of transition, Grzegorczyk sheds new light on the ways a culture remakes itself and the mechanisms through which subjectivities shift during periods of political change. 606 $aLatin American prose literature$y19th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCreoles in literature 606 $aSpace and time in literature 606 $aLiterature and society$zLatin America 607 $aLatin America$xHistory$xAutonomy and independence movements 615 0$aLatin American prose literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCreoles in literature. 615 0$aSpace and time in literature. 615 0$aLiterature and society 676 $a860.9/358 700 $aGrzegorczyk$b Marzena$01508489 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784125703321 996 $aPrivate topographies$93739879 997 $aUNINA
