- ItemCorreo electrónico entre Eduardo Oso y Sancho Panza(2014) Katz, MarcoAre Sancho Panza and Winnie the Pooh brothers in alimentary solidarity? In two parts, this academic paper investigates comparisons between popular texts from Spain and England, respectively El ingenioso hidalgo don Quijote de La Mancha by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra and Winnie the Pooh by Alan Alexander Milne. The first part plays on Cervantes’ phrasings in order to humorously consider the plausibility of popular literary protagonists in relationship to world figures generally perceived as verisimilar. While much of the world easily accepts the great monarchs, politicians, ecclesiasts, and battlefield generals as historically accurate, many people continue to believe even more fervently in the literary figures they cherish.

- ItemForgive me for staining this sacred land with my blood(2005) Katz, MarcoIn Nostromo, Joseph Conrad describes tortures suffered by Dr. Monygham in a mythical New World Nation, concluding, “And these conditions seemed to bind him indissolubly to the land of Costaguana like an awful procedure of naturalization, involving him deep in the national life, far deeper than any amount of success and honour could have done” (319).
- ItemFrom Cuzco to California: José Watanabe and Naomi Quiñones in the Nikkei Diaspora(2006) Katz, MarcoNaomi Quiñones does not necessarily identify as a Sansei Latina playwright and poet. From a variety of constructed identities, I have pasted these labels onto her: Sansei, Latina, playwright and poet. I might as easily and as accurately have chosen Hispanic, Andean, Peruvian, Colombian-born, Latin American, South American, Iberian-American, Japanese-American, American, Usonian, cross-cultural, borderlands, multi-lingual, Feminist, Californian performance artist. Any combination of these choices would alter my reading of and reporting on her work, thus creating from the outset a variety of stances from which I could legitimately locate her texts. By reducing Naomi Quiñones with the labels Sansei, Latina, playwright and poet, I plan to relate her verses and theatrical presentations to the work of one of her contemporaries, Nisei Latino screenwriter and poet José Watanabe Varas. The differences between Quiñones and Watanabe, which abound in spite of the similarities imposed by my choice of labels, demonstrate how each fits into a Peruvian literary tradition that extends backward at least as far as El Inca Garcilaso de la Vega and a tradition of political commentary that extends forward at least as far as tomorrow’s headlines concerning Alberto Fujimori and the current Peruvian elections.

- ItemTierra prometida – Spain as Jewish past and future(2016) Katz, Marco“[H]e told me,” writes Benito Pérez Galdós, “that the Jews either had no country or had two, their current home or their traditional one, Spain”1 (224). [Vocal rendition of “Hevenu Shalom Aleichem / La paz esté con vosotros” in Hebrew and Spanish.] “Hevenu Shalom Aleichem,” a melody I recall from as long as I have memories. “Hevenu shalom Aleichem. Hevenu shalom Aleichem. Hevenu shalom Aleichem. Hevenu shalom, shalom, shalom Aleichem.” I also remember it this way: “La paz esté con vosotros. La paz esté con vosotros. La paz esté con vosotros y con vosotros siempre, siempre esté en paz.” A cosmopolitan song for wandering people. The apogee of this cosmopolitan took place under Islamic rule of a Peninsula that created the conditions for what we now call modern Jewish culture. Today, I consider how cosmopolitanism led Jews to become Spanish, then survive and sometimes flourish as Spaniards in America, and finally infect Spanish Americans with cosmopolitanism.
- ItemTiras, timbres y estereotipos: el Negro Memín Pinguín y la manipulación de la cultura popular con representaciones étnicas(2008) Katz, MarcoMemín Pinguín is the Black protagonist in a famous set of comics that first appeared in Mexico in 1945. However coincidental, the proximity of a speech by the Mexican President on 13 May 2005 and the appearance a fortnight later of five postage stamps commemorating Memín Pinguín suggests a connection between these two events. This study of the Memín Pinguín stamp controversy, connected to the presidential speech, explains how postage stamps function as a literary genre —a type of cuento corto, perhaps, among comic strips— and considers the ways in which these texts cross national, linguistic, and cultural borders, creating questions about ethnic images and who has the right to manage them.
