Anti-Humboldt: A Reading of the North American Free Trade

Anti-Humboldt: A Reading of the North American Free Trade Agreement (Multilingual Edition)

Poetry. Latino/Latina Studies. In 2010 Hugo GarcÃa ManrÃquez set out to work through the North American Free Trade Agreement in Spanish and English. The result is a bilingual artifact that interrupts and re- politicizes NAFTA's neoliberal language, becoming a space of transnational encounter that strangely falls on the same continuum as the work of 19th-century naturalist Alexander von Humboldtâ€”a continuum upon which the institutions of Law and Science dream of stabilizing the flux of contingency into the language of the market. No longer univocal in meaning, the remains in ANTI- HUMBOLDT resist being situated, makes evident the madness of language and rationality words thatâ€”to echo George Oppenâ€”"have run mad / In the subways / And of course the institutions / And the banks."
