The work done by Washington Cucurto in his Eloisa Cartonera’s press (editing texts from recyclable materials, acquired from the Buenos Aires’ cardboards), his sharp view on the migratory processes from different places of Latin America toward Argentina and his particular way of thinking the re-writing of literature contribute to prove the recyclable character of these discourses.Publication Afterword: Human Rights and Responsibilities(University of Minnesota, 2009) Sommer, DorisPublication Bi-Musical Moves In Luis Humberto Crosthwaite and Little Joe Hernández(University of Arizona, Department of German Studies, 2012) Sommer, Doris; Wald, ElijahMeditating on works of fiction such as Crosthwaite’s El gran preténder (1992) and Laviera’s AmeRican (1985), this article proposes bi-musicality (Hood 1960) as both a link between sociolinguistics and literary aesthetics and as a corrective challenge to the positivism of ethnic, demographic, and geographic labeling. From Dell Hymes to Norma Mendoza-Denton in applied linguistics and from Friedrich Schiller to Emmanuel Levinas in aesthetics, Sommer and Wald consider what they call the “pride of interstitial place” in multilingual, crossborder writing and music. The article takes cues from sociolinguistics, dance, and musicology, as it advances a wager about the embodied movements of multilingual poetics.Publication Welcome Back: The Humanities as Civic Education(Comparative Literature Department, Dartmouth College, 2011) Sommer, Doris
