Book excerpt: Winner of the 1981 Nobel Prize for Literature, Elias Canetti uncovers the secret life hidden beneath Marrakesh's bewildering array of voices, gestures and faces. In a series of sharply etched scenes, he portrays the languages and cultures of the people who fill its bazaars, cafes, and streets. The book presents vivid images of daily life: the storytellers in the Djema el Fna, the armies of beggars ready to set upon the unwary, and the rituals of Moroccan family life. This is Marrakesh -described by one of Europe's major literary intellects in an account lauded as "cosmopolitan in the tradition of Goethe" by the New York Times. "A unique travel book," according to John Bayley of the "London Review of Books."

Book excerpt: Publicado pela primeira vez em 1968, o livro apresenta o trabalho de Elias Canetti (1905-1994) em formas pouco conhecidas do leitor habituado a seus trabalhos de fôlego, como o romance 'Auto-de-fé' e o estudo 'Massa e poder'. Em uma apropriação pessoal do relato de viagem, que jamais perde de vista o cuidado narrativo e o apuro poético da linguagem, Canetti aproveita a estadia de uma semana no Marrocos, a convite de amigos que filmavam um documentário para a rede de TV inglesa BBC, para lançar mão de um tema caro à sua trajetória literária. Dividindo suas impressões entre 14 crônicas, cuja organização sugere um mosaico de quadros e ações dispostas no intervalo de um dia e uma noite, o autor percorre uma cidade cravada entre tempos e culturas díspares.

Book excerpt: En 1954, Elias Canetti fait un voyage à Marrakech. Au cours de ses promenades à travers les quartiers arabes et juifs de la ville, il enregistre des voix, des bruits, des gestes et des images qu'il relate dans son journal, aussitôt de retour à Londres. Il en résulte un ouvrage tout à fait différent d'un récit de voyage, où Canetti observe et transcrit les faits avec exactitude, captant la vie dans sa diversité, désapprenant pour mieux comprendre.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elias Canetti soggiornò per un certo periodo del 1954 a Marrakech. Il grande lavoro su "Massa e potere" era giunto a un momento di stasi e lo scrittore sentiva il bisogno di nuove voci, di voci incomprensibili, come quelle che lo avvolsero nella splendida città chiusa dalle sue mura. Vagando per i suk, per le strette vie, per i mercati e le piazze, fra cammelli, mendicanti, donne velate, cantastorie, farabutti, ciechi, commercianti, Canetti, con la sua stupefacente prensilità, capta forme e suoni: «Gli altri, la gente che ha sempre vissuto là e che non capivo, erano per me come me stesso». E il suo libro ha la perfezione e la compattezza dell’istantaneo.

Download or read book Changing Tides written by Barbara Neis and published by Fernwood Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fisheries are among the most globalized economic sectors in the world. Relying largely on wild resources and employing millions of people and feeding many millions more, fisheries provide a unique vantage point from which to view contemporary globalization, which is co-occurring with a major ecological revolution triggered by resource degradation and associated with the development of intensive aquaculture. Globalization is intensifying the export orientation and use of joint ventures between rich and poor countries in fisheries. International organizations such as the IMF are pressuring many debtor countries to exchange access to their fishery resources for access to foreign exchange, constraining their ability to limit external ownership and the export of resources, and threatening local fishery employment and food self-sufficiency. Changing Tides brings together contributions from researchers and community workers from 13 countries of the world. Juxtaposing academic case studies with accounts from activists and fisheries workers, this book points the ways in which globalization and associated resource degradation, privatization and the concentration of ownership and control in fisheries are jeopardizing the lives and livelihoods of women fish workers and their families.

The meetings have been held in Lisbon/Portugal (1993), Curitiba/Brazil (1996), Porto Alegre/Brazil (1998), Évora/ Portugal (1999), Atibaia/Brazil (2000), Faro/Portugal (2003), Itatiaia/Brazil (2006) and Aveiro/Portugal (2008). This meeting has been a highly productive forum for the progress of this area and to foster the cooperation among the researchers working on the automated processing of the Portuguese language. PROPOR brings together research groups, promoting the development of methodologies, resources and projects that can be shared among all researchers and practitioners in the field. The ninth edition of this event was held in Porto Alegre, Brazil, at Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS). It had two main tracks: one for language processing and another one for speech processing. This event hosted a special Demonstration Session and the first edition of the PhD and MSc Dissertation Contest, which aimed at recognizing the best academic work on processing of the Portuguese language in the last few years. This edition of the event featured tutorials on statistical machine translation and on speech recognition, as well as invited talks by renowned researchers of natural language processing.

Download or read book Plantation Memories written by Grada Kilomba and published by Between the Lines. This book was released on 2021-05-01 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plantation Memories is a compilation of episodes of everyday racism written in the form of short psychoanalytical stories. From the question “Where do you come from?” to Hair Politics to the N-word, the book is a strong, eloquent, and elaborate piece that deconstructs the normality of everyday racism and exposes the violence of being placed as the Other. Released at the Berlin International Literature Festival in 2008, soon the book became internationally acclaimed and part of numerous academic curricula. Known for her subversive practice of giving body, voice, and image to her own texts, Grada Kilomba has adapted her book into a staged reading and video installation. Plantation Memories is an important contribution to the global cultural discourse.
