Download or read book De lo humano written by Ute Eskildsen and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1977, this book brings together what is known about liberal feminist and socialist movements for the emancipation of women all over the world in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It deals not only with Britain and the United States but also with Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, Russia, Austria-Hungary and the Scandinavian countries. The chapters trace the origins, development, and eventual collapse of these movements in relation to the changing social formations and political structures of Europe, America and Australasia in the era of bourgeois liberalism. The first part of the book discusses the origins of feminist movements and advances a model or 'ideal type' description of their development. The second part then takes a number of case studies of individual feminist movements to illustrate the main varieties of organised feminism and the differences from country to country. The third part looks at socialist women's movements and includes a study of the Socialist Women's International. A final part touches on the reason for the eclipse of women's emancipation movements in the half-century following the end of the First World War, before a general conclusion pulls together some of the arguments advanced in earlier chapters and attempts a comparison between these feminist movements of 1840-1920 and the Women's Liberation Movement.

Download or read book Image and Memory written by Wendy Watriss and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FotoFest 1992, a major festival of international photography, brought Latin American photography into focus for a wide audience. Offering a diverse selection of photographers, countries, artistic movements, and subject matter, the show revealed a photographic tradition rich in history and creativity. Drawing from the more than 1,000 images exhibited by FotoFest, this book documents the work of fifty-two photographers from ten countries. The photographs range from the opening of the Brazilian frontier in the 1880s to a secret archive of documentary images from El Salvador's recent civil war to works of specifically aesthetic intent. Many of the photographs appear here in print for the first time. Watriss's opening essay provides the curatorial overview for the book. Lois Zamora examines the roots of visual image-making in Latin American cultures. Boris Kossoy addresses the history of Latin American photography through the nineteenth century, while Fernando Castro covers the contemporary scene. With its compelling images and English-Spanish text, this book will serve as a benchmark for future studies of photography in Latin America.
Download or read book Contemporary Art and Multicultural Education written by Susan Cahan and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary art and multicultural education is the first book of its kind to address the role of art within today's multicultural education. Co-published with the New Museum of Contemporary Art, this beautifully illustrated book provides both theoretical foundations and practical resources for art educators and students, combining exquisite color reproductions, statements from contemporary artists and interviews with notable educators. Absent from multicultural art education is an approach which connects everyday experience, social critique and creative expression with classroom learning; for students from widely-varied backgrounds and differing levels of English comprehension, art becomes a vital means of reflecting upon the nature of society and social existence. To this end, this volume features both works of art and artists' personal statements in English and Spanish with lesson plans which explore topics that connect what students learn in school to what life experiences might reveal.
Download or read book Intersected Identities written by Erica Segre and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2007-05-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has always been an important visual element to the construction and questioning of national identity in post-Independence Mexico, though one that has not always been given its due, outside of the celebrated and much-studied muralists. Ranging from the early nineteenth century to the present – from the vogue for the picturesque, illustrated periodicals and the influential writings of Altamirano to a wealth of twentieth-century graphic artists, filmmakers and photographers – this book re-examines the complex variety of ways in which that visual element has operated. In particular, it looks at the ways in which discourses concerning ethnicity and cultural hybridity have been echoed and transformed in Mexican visual culture, resulting in fields of visual discourse which are eclectic and increasingly self-reflexive.

Download or read book Women and Print Culture written by Donna M. Kabalen Vanek and published by Arte Público Press. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writers, editors, activists and prostitutes. Women along the US-Mexico border served in many more capacities than simply wives and mothers, though those were their primary roles. Historically, religion was the link between women and the written word. According to the editors of this volume, Mexican women—particularly those from the privileged classes—had access to secular reading beginning in the 1800s. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, several periodicals dedicated to the education of the “fairer sex” emerged. Though the male voice initially predominated, women began contributing poetry and essays to various publications and eventually became editors of their own magazines and newspapers. This collection of ten essays, based on the examination of publications from the US-Mexico region between 1850-1950, explores the role of women in print culture. Leading to a better understanding of women in the history of Mexican border life, the essays are organized in three thematic groupings: “Exploring the Archives: Women and Written Culture in Northeastern Mexico during the Late Nineteenth Century,” “The Cultural History of Women and Print Culture” and “A Transcultural View of Women and their Role as Activists in Northern Mexico and Texas.” The scholars who researched the archival collections of newspapers, magazines and other print matter write about a variety of topics, including the participation of women in the War of Independence (1810-1821) and the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920), the belief females were inferior and should not be educated outside the home and even the cultural history of prostitutes. Published as part of the Recovering the US Hispanic Literary Heritage project, this compendium of academic articles sheds light on women’s roles—especially as readers, writers and editors—in the Texas-Mexico border region in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Muchos de sus personajes son forzados a dejar su patria a causa de la violencia y la pobreza. Pero al encontrarse en la tierra prometida, lejos de su familia y amigos en un país cuy lengua y cultura no comprenden, se sienten abrumados por sentimientos de pérdida. En 'El Niño Dragón,' un grupo de huérfanos de la guerra civil salvadoreña se unen para sobrevivir, aún cuando son abusados por explotadores. En 'El Plan,' un exitoso millonario suizo retorna a su nativo El Salvador -- el cual dejó como un huérfano indefenso -- y ejecuta su despiadado plan para vengarse de los responsables del brutal asesinato de su familia. Y en 'De Australia Con Amor,' una emigrante salvadoreña planea casarse con un paisano que conoció en la Internet, hasta que cae en la cuenta de que lo ha visto antes." --From publisher's description.

Los medios técnicos disponibles hoy en día me han permitido plasmar la Guía de Inglés según mi idea original. También es gracias a Internet que puedo acercarte esta obra de una manera asequible y ágil. Durante años trabajé en este volumen bilingüe con pasión por ambos idiomas y buscando facilitar un dominio cabal del inglés a todo estudiante de habla hispana, en particular a quienes carecen de recursos económicos para acceder a esta lengua internacional. Las nuevas técnicas de traducción automática nos sorprenden más y más. Para el individuo en nuestro mundo globalizado, sin embargo, una cosa es valerse de traducciones y otra muy distinta es poder generar el propio discurso en lengua extranjera e interpretar los contenidos más diversos de una manera personal y autónoma. He ahí la principal razón de ser de esta Guía. También es inigualable poder apreciar la belleza de la literatura en inglés, los matices en sus giros, los múltiples sentidos, las complejidades, el humor, las sonoridades y las sutilezas de esta lengua inagotable. La ortografía de inglés elegida en esta obra ha sido la británica, por tratarse de la variedad original. Cuando existen variantes estadounidenses para ciertas palabras, las mismas se indican en todos los casos. He procurado dar con equivalentes en castellano que estuviesen exentos de regionalismos, lo cual no siempre resulta sencillo. Espero que vayas a disfrutar de la Guía de Inglés tanto como yo escribiéndola. Fueron años elaborando este material, con la intención de brindarte cuanto me fuese posible y que te alcance hasta el más avanzado nivel de estudios. La Guía de Inglés potenciará tus conocimientos de todas las maneras que imagines y sus traducciones acaso aporten nuevo léxico a tu español. Todo el texto y la diagramación de la obra son de mi autoría. Sus imágenes figuran como free clip art en Internet y en tal condición fueron descargadas de la red. El precio de venta es menor que mi arancel por una lección de inglés durante una hora. Las páginas de muestra en Google Books te permitirán evaluar la utilidad de esta Guía. Este libro condensa conocimientos que son fruto de 30 años enseñando inglés tanto a escolares como a profesionales y empresarios. ¡Confío en que te resultará una transacción ventajosa! Haz que el trato también sea justo para mí, adquiriéndola de quien aquí suscribe Tu aliado, el autor… Diego Luzuriaga PD: Si quieres saber en qué ando ahora, ven a visitar mi sitio AMOIDIOMA en facebook.
