by Julio Quintero (Author)
Julio Quintero es profesor asociado de español en Grove City College. Se interesa en la teoría de la imaginación y la representación en la narrativa del siglo diecinueve y veinte en Centro y Suramérica al igual que en la inclusión de formas innovadoras de enseñanza del español y la cultura hispanoamericana en el salón de clase. Usando la crítica a la narrativa del dictador de inicios de la década de los ochenta como punto de inflexión, La máquina dictatorial analiza repeticiones de la figura del déspota como si fueran partes que se añaden a un antiguo mecanismo de representación. La máquina dictatorial se centra en novelas de Arturo Uslar Pietri, R.H. Moreno Durán, Federico Vegas y Rodrigo Rey Rosa. Quintero es autor de El poeta en la novela hispanoamericana (Universidad de Antioquia, 2010) y artículos y reseñas suyas han aparecido en Hispanic Issues, Revista Hispánica Moderna e Hispania, entre otras.
