Book excerpt: El Diario de a bordo de Cristóbal Colón —transcrito por Bartolomé de las Casas— nos descubre a un personaje fascinante y contradictorio, que pasa del entusiasmo a la desconfianza o a las especulaciones geográficas más aventuradas (la confusión, por ejemplo, de Cuba por Cipango, el nombre que los europeos daban a Japón durante el Medioevo). Sin embargo, aunque en su persona se mezclen la maravilla ante el mundo desconocido, el piadoso deseo de evangelizar a los «salvajes» y una manifiesta avidez de riquezas, Colón fue un explorador y un navegante increíblemente visionario. Ninguna aventura en la historia ha sido más crucial que la llegada de la carabela Santa María a las Américas en 1492. Este acontecimiento supuso un extraordinario ensanchamiento del mundo. Para algunos incluso el comienzo de lo que hoy llamamos globalización y el encuentro de dos mundos que se ignoraban. Pero, ¿cómo se le ocurrió a Cristóbal Colón el insensato proyecto de llegar a Oriente por Occidente? Y, sobre todo, ¿cómo consiguió convencer a los Reyes Católicos para que financiaran la aventura? ¿A pesar de la incredulidad y de las reservas de los políticos y los científicos de la época? El Diario de a bordo de Colón nos relata las vivencias de su hazaña.

Book excerpt: Cristóbal Colón unió así su nombre a otros ensanchadores del mundo conocido, como Alejandro Magno y Marco Polo. Su permanente y sostenida confusión acerca de hacia dónde viajó, no fue óbice para que con su acción se duplicara el mapamundi y alentó sobremanera la inteligencia europea, la que, una vez consciente (o sin llegar a estarlo totalmente) de los yerros del navegante genovés, emprendió la otra aventura, la de la conquista y evangelización de los hombres autóctonos de las tierras descubiertas. Una enorme empresa mercantil y política se puso en marcha para perjuicio de las culturas originales del continente suramericano y beneficio de los bolsillos de muchos en el viejo continente. Como han estado contestes la mayoría de los historiadores, la falta de documentos es la causa principal de que muchas respuestas y preguntas sobre los viajes colombinos permanezcan aún en las sombras de las dudas y las conjeturas. De esta forma, el diario del primero de los viajes del Almirante de la Mar Océana se convierte en el texto cardinal de la epopeya. […] Es un acierto absoluto que Ediciones Verbum publique el diario del primer viaje de Cristóbal Colón, uno de los documentos más trascendentes de la historia del encuentro europeo con América y, más aún, de la historia universal. A pesar del tiempo transcurrido (o gracias a él), de las correcciones y adulteraciones sufridas, el Diario de a Bordo del Primer Viaje de Cristóbal Colón, sigue siendo una lectura fascinante, la revelación de un mundo virginal que brotaba, maravilloso e imperfecto, ante la azorada humanidad.

Book excerpt: El Diario de a bordo de Cristóbal Colón —transcrito por Bartolomé de las Casas— nos descubre a un personaje fascinante y contradictorio, que pasa del entusiasmo a la desconfianza o a las especulaciones geográficas más aventuradas (confunde, por ejemplo, Cuba por Cipango, el nombre que los europeos daban a Japón durante el Medioevo). Sin embargo, aunque en su persona se mezclen la maravilla ante el mundo desconocido, el piadoso deseo de evangelizar a los «salvajes» y una manifiesta avidez de riquezas, Colón fue sin duda un explorador y un navegante increíblemente visionario. En su segundo viaje Colón salió de Cádiz el 25 de septiembre de 1493 con tres galeones o carracas, 14 carabelas y 1 .500 acompañantes. Llegó a las Islas Caribes el 4 de noviembre del mismo año. Descubrió la Isla de Borinquen (Puerto Rico) y el 27 noviembre llegó a La Española, donde con dolor solo encontró las ruinas del fuerte de La Navidad. Estuvo en La Española hasta el 24 de abril de 1494, dejando reconstruida una población que llamó La Isabela. Siguiendo su viaje descubrió la isla de Jamaica, el día 3 de mayo. Recorrió el sur de Cuba y llegó hasta la isla de Pinos que llamó Evangelista. Regresó enfermo a La Isabela, y mejorado, volvió a España. Esta expedición estaba muy bien equipada, incluso con todo lo necesario para el establecimiento y conquista; llevó caballos, vacas, ove jas, cabras, cerdos y aves de corral; entre las semillas y plantas: trigo, cebada, la vid, el limón, el naranjo y caña de azúcar (llamada por entonces oro blanco). En su tercer viaje —en 1498— descubrió la isla de Trinidad, el río Orinoco y parte de América del Sur. También fue arrestado por el juez, Francisco de Bobadilla, por supuestas irregularidades en su gobierno. Su cuarto y último viaje fue de mayo de 1502 a 17 de noviembre de 1504, cuando volvió enfermo a España. Visitó las pequeñas Antillas, La Española, Jamaica y Honduras.

Download or read book The Life Music and Times of Carlos Gardel written by Simon Collier and published by University of Pittsburgh Pre. This book was released on 1986-12-15 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the first biography in English of the great Argentinian tango singer Carlos Gardel (1890-1935), Collier traces his rise from very modest beginnings to become the first genuine "superstar" of twentieth-century Latin America. In his late teens, Gardel won local fame in the barrios of Buenos Aires singing in cafes and political clubs. By the 1920s, after he switched to tango singing, the songs he wrote and sang enjoyed instant popularity and have become classics of the genre. He began making movies in the 1930s, quickly establishing himself as the most popular star of the Spanish-language cinema, and at the time of his death Paramount was planning to launch his Hollywood career.Collier's biography focuses on Gardel's artistic career and achievements but also sets his life story within the context of the tango tradition, of early twentieth-century Argentina, and of the history of popular entertainment.
Download or read book Conflicts of Interest written by MarÕa Amparo Ruiz de Burton and published by Arte Publico Press. This book was released on 2001-04-30 with total page 676 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: María Amparo Ruiz de Burton, the recently discovered nineteenth-century novelist, broke many of the boundaries that circumscribed the life of both women and Hispanics in the southwestern territories of the United States. Not only was she the first Hispanic novelist to write English, but her courage and resolve took her into the circles of governmental and financial power where very few women had tread before. Conflicts of Interest captures the conflicted personality of María Amparo Ruiz de Burton, a woman pulled in different directions by tensions of class, race, gender, and nationality. The trajectory of Ruiz de Burtons life through her correspondence makes for a compelling and revealing narrative, one that brings to life the evolution of discourse and culture in the Southwest as it was becoming integrated in the United States a process which, some might argue, continues today. This volume is as complete a collection of the Ruiz de Burton letters as is possible, given the imperfect historical record. Included are various personal and business documents and a collection of articles about her family. Among her correspondents were such important historical figures as Samuel L. M. Barlow, E. W. Morse, Prudenciana Moreno, and Platón Vallejo. But this album is not a simple collection of letters and documents; rather, researchers Sánchez and Pita have made great efforts to reconstitute Ruiz de Burtons life and times through their analysis and commentary.

Download or read book The Routledge Handbook to the Culture and Media of the Americas written by Wilfried Raussert and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-02 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the culture and media of the Americas, this handbook places particular emphasis on collective and intertwined experiences and focuses on the transnational or hemispheric dimensions of cultural flows and geocultural imaginaries that shape the literature, arts, media and other cultural expressions in the Americas. The Routledge Handbook to the Culture and Media of the Americas charts the pervasive, asymmetrical flows of cultural products and capital and their importance in the development of the Americas. The volume offers a comprehensive understanding of how inter-American communication is constituted, framed and structured, and covers the artistic and political dimensions that have shaped literature, art and popular culture in the region. Forty-six chapters cover a range of inter-American key concepts and dynamics, divided into two parts: Literature and Music deals with inter-American entanglements of artistic expressions in the Western Hemisphere, including music, dance, literary genres and developments. Media and Visual Cultures explores the inter-American dimension of media production in the hemisphere, including cinema and television, photography and art, journalism, radio, digital culture and issues such as freedom of expression and intellectual property. This multidisciplinary approach will be of interest to a broad array of academic scholars and students in history, sociology, political science; and cultural, postcolonial, gender, literary, globalization and media studies.
