Estimados colegas y amigos,
nos complace invitarlos a enviar propuestas de ponencias para el simposio "Revisitar la década de 1920 en América Latina: una aproximación desde lo global", que coordinaremos en el marco del XIX Congreso de la Asociación de Historiadores Latinoamericanistas Europeos (AHILA), a realizarse en París entre el 1º y el 4 de septiembre de 2020. A continuación encontrarán la fundamentación del simposio y las instrucciones para el envío de resúmenes:
I think there is a persuasive argument here. Hemingway was certainly a collector of experiences that later showed up in his fiction. He was slightly desperate to get into the Great War, and his relatively brief (if violent) exposure to it was significant. Given that his fiction about the war was always about the dark side of it, and the experience of those wounded, it's easy to see him being influenced by Ellen La Motte, herself an admired friend of Hemingway's literary friend and mentor, Gertrude Stein.
The two world wars of the first half of the twentieth century, World War I (1914-1918) and World War II (1939 - 1945), wrought extraordinary levels of destruction.
Cynthia, as a longtime Hemingway fan I'd love to read the article, but your link took me to a login screen that stopped me in my tracks. A copy open to all would be welcome.
Naturally, like most aficionados I had a soft assumption that the terse fundamentals of his style derived from his days as a reporter, before and after the Great War. But I'm willing to be proved wrong!
