This book was released on 2002-02-22 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about transvestism and the performance of gender in Latin American literature and culture. Ben. Sifuentes-Jáuregui explores the figure of the transvestite and his/her relation to the body through a series of canonical Latin American texts. By analyzing works by Alejo Carpentier, José Donoso, Severo Sarduy and Manuel Puig (author of Kiss of the Spiderwoma n), alongside critical works in gender studies and queer theory, Sifuentes-Jáuregui shows how transvestism operates not only to destabilize, but often to affirm sexual, gender, national and political identities.

Download or read book The Man Who Walked Between the Towers written by Mordicai Gerstein and published by Square Fish. This book was released on 2007-04-17 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of a daring tightrope walk between skyscrapers, as seen in Robert Zemeckis's The Walk, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt. In 1974, French aerialist Philippe Petit threw a tightrope between the two towers of the World Trade Center and spent an hour walking, dancing, and performing high-wire tricks a quarter mile in the sky. This picture book captures the poetry and magic of the event with a poetry of its own: lyrical words and lovely paintings that present the detail, daring, and--in two dramatic foldout spreads-- the vertiginous drama of Petit's feat. The Man Who Walked Between the Towers is the winner of the 2004 Caldecott Medal, the winner of the 2004 Boston Globe - Horn Book Award for Picture Books, and the winner of the 2006 Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Children's Video.

Download or read book Emily Dickinson written by Rolando Costa Picazo and published by Universitat de València. This book was released on 2011-11-28 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emily Dickinson es la primera gran poeta estadounidense. Desconocida como escritora en vida, sus poemas son de una originalidad desusada, de gran economía y control, de una sintaxis y puntuación únicas, a la par que de gran inspiración y profundidad, sobre temas como la identidad, la inmortalidad, la vida, la muerte, el amor o la pasión. Traducir a Dickinson es aceptar un reto arriesgado que sólo los traductores más sagaces son capaces de llevar a término con dignidad. Este volumen presenta la selección, traducción y anotación de sus casi cien poemas más representativos, a cargo del profesor Rolando Costa Picazo. En esta obra leemos a Dickinson a través de la sabiduría lingüística y sensibilidad literaria de Costa Picazo, un traductor que hace justicia a la estatura poética de la reclusa de Amherst y la acerca a los lectores en español del tercer milenio.
Download or read book Save Twilight written by Julio Cortazar and published by City Lights Books. This book was released on 1997-12 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The power of Eros, the enduring beauty of art, a love-hate nostalgia for his Argentine homeland, the bonds of friendship and the tragic folly of politics are some of the themes of Save Twilight. Informed by his immersion in world literature, music, art, and history, and most of his own emotional geography, Cortazar's poetry traces his paradoxical evolution from provincial Argentinean sophisticate to cosmopolitan Parisian Romantic, always maintaining the sense of astonishment of an artist surprised by life.

Book excerpt: **Four starred reviews!** A farm-working girl with big dreams meets activist Dolores Huerta and joins the 1965 protest for workers’ rights in this tender-hearted novel in verse, perfect for fans of Rita Williams-Garcia and Pam Muñoz Ryan. Lula Viramontes aches to one day become someone whom no one can ignore: a daring ringleader in a Mexican traveling circus. But between working the grape harvest in Delano, California, with her older siblings under dangerous conditions; taking care of her younger siblings and Mamá, who has mysteriously fallen ill; and doing everything she can to avoid Papá’s volatile temper, it’s hard to hold on to those dreams. Then she meets Dolores Huerta, Larry Itliong, and other labor rights activists and realizes she may need to raise her voice sooner rather than later: Farmworkers are striking for better treatment and wages, and whether Lula’s family joins them or not will determine their future.

Download or read book The Worlds of Langston Hughes written by Vera M. Kutzinski and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2012-10-15 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poet Langston Hughes was a tireless world traveler and a prolific translator, editor, and marketer. Translations of his own writings traveled even more widely than he did, earning him adulation throughout Europe, Asia, and especially the Americas. In The Worlds of Langston Hughes, Vera Kutzinski contends that, for writers who are part of the African diaspora, translation is more than just a literary practice: it is a fact of life and a way of thinking. Focusing on Hughes's autobiographies, translations of his poetry, his own translations, and the political lyrics that brought him to the attention of the infamous McCarthy Committee, she shows that translating and being translated—and often mistranslated—are as vital to Hughes's own poetics as they are to understanding the historical network of cultural relations known as literary modernism.As Kutzinski maps the trajectory of Hughes's writings across Europe and the Americas, we see the remarkable extent to which the translations of his poetry were in conversation with the work of other modernist writers. Kutzinski spotlights cities whose role as meeting places for modernists from all over the world has yet to be fully explored: Madrid, Havana, Buenos Aires, Mexico City, and of course Harlem. The result is a fresh look at Hughes, not as a solitary author who wrote in a single language, but as an international figure at the heart of a global intellectual and artistic formation.
