註釋Representing the Other completes an important trilogy of critical works by Paul Julian Smith, whose common aim is to effect a major change in the interpretation of Hispanic texts through the introduction of contemporary (mainly French) cultural theory. Writing in the Margin and The BodyHispanic (Clarendon Press, 1988, 1989) were concerned with post-structuralism and sexual difference respectively. Representing the Other extends this critique to include 'race' and nationality: perhaps the quintessential problem in Hispanic Studies. The book makes clear that the theme of race is not a self-contained issue but one aspect of a collection of problems associated with 'representing the other'. Paul Julian Smith examines this theme in a wide-ranging series of chapters on the representation of the Indian in Castellanos, theAfro-American in Puig, and the Arab in Goytisolo. He also explores the possibility of a Jewish discourse in the Celestina and a feminine discourse in St Teresa, alongside Gracian's El criticon, which serves as a test case for the inextricability of the narratives of nationality and ofallegory.
