This book was released on 1889 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The shallow scratches made in the still almost virgin soil of Morocco by historians and travelers have increased the thirst for any really useful and scientific information regarding that country; for since the time of Leo Africanus a long blank occurs, filled up, indeed, by such writers as Windhus and Leared in the last century, and, in our own time, by the more practical researches of Rohlfs, Tissot and Sir Joseph Hooker; but while these works have all their separate interests, the volume now to hand will occupy in its turn a special page in the history of the northern division of Morocco. It is with reluctance I have acceded to M. de la Martiniere's request to write a few lines of Preface to his book, but my former connections with the country, and the fact of my being able, as far as my own knowledge goes, to testify to the accuracy of his statements, have induced me to make the attempt"--Preface.
Download or read book Orientalismo exotismo y traducci n written by Eduardo Manzano Moreno and published by Univ de Castilla La Mancha. This book was released on 2000 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Orientalismo, exotismo y traducción pretende ahondar en la reflexión en torno a la traducción en cuanto vehículo mediatizado de contacto intelectual, presentando especial atención a la recepción de la cultura árabe-islámica en Europa y al papel desempeñado en ella por las distintas tradiciones de estudios árabes e islámicos. El colonialismo ha condicionado la visión que tenemos de otras culturas como la árabe e islámica. Textos como Las mil y una noches y, especialmente, sus traducciones a las lenguas europeas son paradigmas de estas visiones desenfocadas y exóticas. Las disciplinas habitualmente englobadas bajo la etiqueta de Orientalismo -en España fundamentalmente Arabismo y Africanismo- han estado en nuestro país condicionadas por dos hechos que las han llevado a divergir de otras tradiciones europeas. Por un lado, la existencia de un "Oriente doméstico", Alándalus, ha marcado el desarrollo y orientación de los estudios árabes, islámicos y orientales en la universidad española. Por otra parte la empresa colonial española se materializó en un Oriente, Marruecos, que, aunque no doméstico sí era demasiado cercano, demasiado inmediato para poder separarlo de los entresijos y vivencias de la propia historia de España.

Download or read book Centuries of Silence written by Leonardo Ferreira and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2006-10-30 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of Latin American journalism is ultimately the story of a people who have been silenced over the centuries, primarily Native Americans, women, peasants, and the urban poor. This book seeks to correct the record propounded by most English-language surveys of Latin American journalism, which tend to neglect pre-Columbian forms of reporting, the ways in which technology has been used as a tool of colonization, and the Latin American conceptual foundations of a free press. Challenging the conventional notion of a free marketplace of ideas in a region plagued with serious problems of poverty, violence, propaganda, political intolerance, poor ethics, journalism education deficiencies, and media concentration in the hands of an elite, Ferreira debunks the myth of a free press in Latin America. The diffusion of colonial presses in the New World resulted in the imposition of a structural censorship with elements that remain to this day. They include ethnic and gender discrimination, technological elitism, state and religious authoritarianism, and ideological controls. Impoverished, afraid of crime and violence, and without access to an effective democracy, ordinary Latin Americans still live silenced by ruling actors that include a dominant and concentrated media. Thus, not only is the press not free in Latin America, but it is also itself an instrument of oppression.

Download or read book Jewish Imaginaries of the Spanish Civil War written by Cynthia Gabbay and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2022-09-08 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jewish Imaginaries of the Spanish Civil War inaugurates a new field of research in literary and Jewish studies at the intersection of Jewish history and the internationalist cultural phenomenon emerging from the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939), the Republican exile, and the Shoah. With the Spanish Civil War as a point of departure, this volume proposes a definition of Jewish textualities based on the entanglement of multiple poetic modes. Through the examination of a variety of narrative fiction and non-fiction, memoir, poetry, epistles, journalism, and music in Yiddish, Spanish, French, German, and English, these essays unveil non-canonic authors across the West and explore these works in the context of antisemitism, orientalism, and philo-Sephardism, among other cultural phenomena. Jewish writings from the war have much to tell about the encounter between old traditions and new experimentations, framed by urgency, migration, and messianic hope. They offer perspectives on memorial and post-memorial literatures triggered by transhistorical imagination, and many were written against the grain of canonic literature, where subtle forms of dissidence, manifested through language, structure, sound, and thought, sought to tune with the anti-fascist fight. This book revindicates the polyglossia of Jewish cultures and literatures in the context of genocide and epistemicide and proposes to remember the cultural phenomena produced by the Spanish Civil War, demanding a new understanding of the cosmopolitan imaginaries in Jewish literature.
Download or read book Sacerdotes que dejaron huella en el siglo XX written by Alberto Royo Mejía and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2012-11-21 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro es una clara muestra de que la historia, para ser verdaderamente humana, no puede consistir en un mero conjunto de datos económicos y políticos. En efecto, por sus páginas desfilan cuarenta y seis sacerdotes que, a menudo con medios muy pobres, cambiaron el mundo a su alrededor como fundadores, teólogos, predicadores, simples curas de parroquia, mártires, misioneros, profesores o santos. Los sacerdotes seleccionados se han dividido en siete grupos: maestros del espíritu, misioneros de pueblos lejanos, perseguidos a causa de la justicia, grandes teólogos, sacerdotes que se anticiparon a su tiempo, apóstoles de la caridad y los dedicados a diversos apostolados. No todos los sacerdotes descritos son santos (aunque muchos estén en camino de ser reconocidos como tales), pero todos dejaron sin duda una profunda huella en el siglo XX.
Download or read book Re mapping World Literature written by Gesine Müller and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we talk about World Literature if we do not actually examine the world as a whole? Research on World Literature commonly focuses on the dynamics of a western center and a southern periphery, ignoring the fact that numerous literary relationships exist beyond these established constellations of thinking and reading within the Global South. Re-Mapping World Literature suggests a different approach that aims to investigate new navigational tools that extend beyond the known poles and meridians of current literary maps. Using the example of Latin American literatures, this study provides innovative insights into the literary modeling of shared historical experiences, epistemological crosscurrents, and book market processes within the Global South which thus far have received scant attention. The contributions to this volume, from renowned scholars in the fields of World and Latin American literatures, assess travelling aesthetics and genres, processes of translation and circulation of literary works, as well as the complex epistemological entanglements and shared worldviews between Latin America, Africa and Asia. A timely book that embraces highly innovative perspectives, it will be a must-read for all scholars involved in the field of the global dimensions of literature.

Download or read book Religious Landscapes in Contemporary Spain written by Ana I. Planet Contreras and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2022-06-13 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spain is no longer exclusively identified with Catholicism. This book sets out to understand the social dynamics of twenty-first century Spain through the perspective of religion and religious pluralism. Divided into three parts, Part I, Secularization in Spain, frames the analysis of this secularization process throughout the twentieth century and beyond, with particular attention to the process during the Second Republic and the quiet secularization of society that began under Franco's regime. Part II, Religious Change in Spain, establishes the broad framework of the process, addressing the changes that have taken place within Catholicism and the reaction of the Protestant minority as social mores became increasingly fast moving. Part III, Islam in Spain, addresses both its history (including colonial management) and current dynamics (how Islam is viewed by other religions; the impact of the March 11, 2004, attacks; and Islamophobic discourse). Religious Landscapes in Contemporary Spain is essential reading for scholars and students in History and Contemporary Affairs.
