Este artículo examina la manera en que la metaficción postmoderna de Carol Shields en The Stone Diaries sirve de punto de partida para una crítica feminista desde la que se explora el carácter relacional y fragmentario del sujeto femenino. Aunque la crítica haya incidido en la vertiente feminista de la novela de Carol Shields, The Stone Diaries, el papel que juega el postmodernismo en la crítica feminista ha pasado desapercibido. El objetivo de este artículo es, por tanto, ahondar en la manera en que el feminismo se intercala con el postmodernismo en la obra de Shields. A lo largo de este  se demostrará cómo la confluencia entre la condición postmoderna y la construcción de la subjetividad de la protagonista proporciona a la obra una función política. Palabras clave: postmodernismo, feminismo, política, The Stone Diaries   This article examines the way in which postmodern metafiction in Carol Shields´ s The Stone Diaries can be understood as a starting point to explore the relational and fragmentary subjectivity from a feminist standpoint. Although most analysis on The Stone Diaries put an emphasis on the importance of feminism, the influence of postmodernism in Shields´s novel has been commonly overlooked. This article aims to delve into the interaction between feminism and postmodernism in order to demonstrate how this interplay provides the novel with a political function.   Key words: postmodernism, feminism, politics, The Stone Diaries.

This chapter on Dashiell Hammett’s The Dain Curse takes a narratively unmotivated car accident as the starting point for a discussion of genre negation as a force of innovation in Hammett’s writing. As a violent interruption of preestablished modes of operation, the accident embodies the way in which the novel relates to the conventions of popular fiction only to wreck and overturn them. Thus, the linearity of the investigative process is replaced with a circular structure; the purity of genre is replaced with references to a catalogue of popular fiction templates, none of which are fully executed; narrative closure is replaced with ambiguity and contingency; and the classic figure of the ‘sidekick’ is literarily blown to pieces in what Gulddal reads as another emblematic representation of the principle of genre mobility.

Resumen: Se señalan algunos elementos problemáticos, no resueltos aún por las ciencias sociales, que se desprenden de la noción de cultura establecida desde la mentalidad secularista dominante que tiene sus orígenes en la Ilustración y que ha condicionado y erosionado el reconocimiento de ontologías que esclarezcan el sentido de la actividad científica. Estas condiciones forman parte de la práctica de las ciencias sociales explicando la imposibilidad de vislumbrar de manera pragmática la vía por medio de la cual se logren integrar los conocimientos de las ciencias sociales. Dicha integración se manifestaría como una grieta de luz esperanzadora en la construcción societaria y en la generación de modelos culturales alternativos a los propuestos desde el discurso interpretativo dominante de corte efectivista.

Jus in vi is the set of moral principles governing how limited force is used. Taking the traditionalist jus in bello principles as a starting point, this chapter interrogates what necessity, proportionality, and distinction look like in a limited force context and makes the case for the novel psychological risk principle by evaluating how concepts such as “excessive,” “military advantage,” and “harms” and “goods” fit into our thinking about vim. The keystone of jus in vi is the predisposition toward maximal restraint maxim. The chapter thus begins by making the case for why jus in vi principles should be more restrictive than their jus in bello counterparts. It continues by exploring how a circumscribed view of necessity sets the groundwork for constraining proportionality calculations and shaping the way we think about distinction in more restricted ways. The notion of jus in vi proportionality is then explored, with concerns about escalation and psychological risk driving the analysis. Drawing insights from revisionist just war theory to consider jus in vi distinction, the chapter concludes by making the case for affording greater protections to both combatants and non-combatants compared to standard just war accounts. Unlike war, in which almost any soldier can be targeted, in a context of limited force only those who are an active threat can be justly targeted. Both innocent non-combatants and non-threatening combatants should be preserved from the more predictable harms of limited force, though this differs depending on whether the use of limited force is protective, preventive, or punitive.

RESUMEN: La reciente incursión de Arturo Pérez-Reverte en territorio cidiano con su novela Sidi era, hasta cierto punto, previsible, pues el interés del autor por la historia y, especialmente, las hazañas bélicas y los héroes es de sobra conocido. Su obra está plagada de personajes como el famoso capitán don Diego Alatriste, pero, mientras que el capitán es un personaje surgido de la imaginación de Pérez-Reverte, el Cid es una figura firmemente integrada en la cultura española: a caballo entre la historia y la fantasía, el Cid cabalga a lomos de su leyenda desde la aparición del Cantar de Mio Cid. Desde entonces, no han sido pocos los autores que han seguido la estela del anónimo poeta y han recogido el mito en sus obras para ofrecernos su particular versión del mismo. Así, el héroe épico se convirtió en protagonista de obras de teatro, cuentos y novelas, y también la música o el cine, que sirvió para darlo a conocer entre el gran público a nivel internacional. A partir de un meticuloso análisis intertextual e interdiscursivo, el presente artículo muestra cómo Sidi incluye alguno de los episodios más famosos de la literatura cidiana, así como los tópicos épicos que configuran a Rodrigo Diaz como caballero ideal. Entre estos elementos tradicionales, se añaden los rasgos fundamentales del héroe cansado que protagoniza los textos revertianos, y, gracias a esta combinación de elementos antiguos y nuevos, el autor ha logrado convertir al Campeador en un personaje propio. ABSTRACT Arturo Pérez-Reverte’s recent incursion in the literary field of el Cid with his novel Sidi was, to a certain extent, predictable, as the author’s interest in history and, especially, war deeds and heroes is very well-known. His works are full of characters like the famous captain don Diego Alatriste, but, whereas the captain is a character born in Pérez-Reverte’s imagination, el Cid is a figure firmly integrated in Spanish culture: halfway between history and fantasy, el Cid’s legend has been developing since the Song of Mio Cid appeared. From that moment onwards, many authors followed the path of the anonymous poet and included this myth in their works to offer their own version of it. Therefore, the epic hero became the protagonist of plays in theatres, tales and novels, and also in music and cinema, which spread the legend internationally amongst a wider audience. Taking a thorough intertextual and interdiscursive analysis as its starting point, this article shows the way Sidi includes some of the most famous literary episodes devoted to el Cid and, also, the topoi that made Rodrigo Díaz an ideal knight. All these traditional elements are blended in the novel with the main features of the ‘tired hero’ who plays the lead in Pérez-Reverte’s texts, and, by this combination of new and old features, the author turns the Campeador into a character of his own.

Fictional Autobiography

The Stone Diaries (1993), a novel by Carol Shields, examines the strategies characters use to render their selves accountable: they turn life into an ensemble made up of historical, scientific, novelistic or biographical discourse. In contrast, Daisy Goodwill, who is the subject-matter of this fictional autobiography, remains close to the epistemology of the short story, whose potential has been described by critics as a challenge to knowledge or synthesis (Cortázar 1973; Bayley 1988; Leitch 1989, May 1994; Trussler 1996). There seems to be agreement that the only condition of coherence necessary for the short story is a pointing to the evasion of meaning in life, also that the genre allies itself to the way in which the past is attached to our memory (Kosinski 1978; Hallet 1998; Lohafer 1998; Wolff 2000). This essay will analyze the implications of its protagonist’s stance with a view to pinning down some of the ideological grounds of the novel and of the short story in their approach to the question of identity.
