Latin American theater is rooted in the rich historical traditions of both the indigenous cultures of the region and those of Spain. In the second half of the 20th century, immigration to Latin America from Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia also proved influential, and theater became a means of social protest. The military and political dictatorships of the late 20th century often censored plays and persecuted playwrights.

Download or read book Cuba Inside Out written by Yael Prizant and published by SIU Press. This book was released on 2013-12-09 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989 drastically altered life in Cuba. Theatre artists were faced with new economic and social realities that changed their day-to-day experiences and ways of looking at the world beyond the island. The Cuban Revolution’s resistance to and intersections with globalization, modernity, emigration and privilege are central to the performances examined in this study. The first book-length study in English of Cuban and Cuban American plays, Cuba Inside Out provides a framework for understanding texts and performances that support, challenge, and transgress boundaries of exile and nationalism. Prizant reveals the intricacies of how revolution is staged theatrically, socially, and politically on the island and in the Cuban diaspora. This close examination of seven plays written since 1985 seeks to alter how U.S. audiences perceive Cuba, its circumstances, and its theatre.

Download or read book New and Selected Poems written by Gilbert Sorrentino and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although best known for his fiction - including novels such as Little Casinos and Gold Fools - Sorrentino is also a distinguished poet. This volume reprints his Selected Poems 1958-1980 and includes 27 new poems and poem sequences published since 1980. Sorrentino's poetry is at once beautifully imagistic and filled with the magic of startling language. His works are precise and yet dazzlingly abstract; some use, to great effect, Oulipian devices. Satiric landscapes are alternated with brilliant recastings of older forms.
Download or read book Threadsuns written by Paul Celan and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "One of Paul Celan's most important books of poems, Threadsuns follows the Green Integer press publication of Breathturn, which received international critical acclaim. Consisting of 105 poems, arranged in five cycles, Threadsuns was composed between September 1965 and June 1967. If Breathturn was the opening gambit of Celan's "turn," the entry into the late work, then Threadsuns - the volume that may have received the least amount of commentary and analysis to date - may be said to be not only an extension or continuation of the previous volume, but the full-blown realization of Celan's late work."--BOOK JACKET.

Book excerpt: A new edition of these two innovative long poems by one of the best-known poets and critics associated with Language writing. Upon its original publication in 1985, Progress was greeted with enthusiasm and public debate. Its linguistically charged, emotionally relentless and culturally reflexive non-narrative form was pitched against the media saturation and political banality of the Reagan era. Under Erasure (published in a limited edition in 1991) was written during its purported realisation at the end of the Cold War in 1989, an event it records.

Download or read book A Transparent Lion written by Attila József and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regarded by many as Hungary's greatest 20th century poet, Jozsef was born in Budapest in 1905 and died, after apparently throwing himself under a train, in December of 1937. Writing in intense emotional tones that swung beetween despair and hope, Jozsef invigorated old poetic forms with a new freedom, orchestrating his poems with fresh rythmic patterns influenced by folk music's rythms as well as their metrics. But Jozsef was also influenced by Dadaist and other modernist ideas, finding a voice that would synthetise the older cultural forms with the newer experiments.
