Promoting New and Unexpected Crossings: A Conversation with Leonora Djament, by Aitana Bellido Interviews [email protected] Mon, 07/01/2024 - 15:34 Leonora Djament has been editorial director of the Argentine publishing house Eterna Cadencia Editora since 2007. She holds a degree in literature from the University of Buenos Aires and is the author of La vacilación afortunada: H. A. Murena: un intelectual subversivo (Colihue, 2007). Djament has been teaching Professor Jorge Panesi’s literary theory and analysis course at the Universidad de Buenos Aires since 1996 and has participated in several research projects with him. She got her start in publishing in 1996. She was the editor of the essay list at Alfaguara and editorial director of Grupo Editorial Norma.

Since 2008 Eterna Cadencia has been publishing and distributing both Latin American authors—such as Miguel Vitagliano, Diamela Eltit, Sylvia Molloy, and Gabriela Cabezón Cámara—and classic and emerging international voices such as Michel Foucault, Peter Handke, Chris Kraus, and Claire Keegan to both Latin America...
