help me, Livejournal Genie! you're my only hope!

So I know that an English-language translation of Beatriz Sarlo's Una modernidad periférica exists. I've assigned it in my graduate classes before, I'm pretty certain. It's just that I always tell them to read it in the original if they can and they always can. But this semester I have a student who can't read Spanish taking my seminar, and she told me that she couldn't find a translation anywhere, and you know, I spent some time this evening looking for one, and I can't find it either. So - do you know if it ever was translated? Or have I just been smoking crack again?

It isn't in WorldCat (LC database), either, dammit. Are you sure that a chapter hasn't been translated and that's what you're remembering?

Oh, yeah, WorldCat was the first third or fourth place I looked. I might never have seen it in English, since my copy is in Spanish, but I know I haven't seen it in chapter or article form in English.
