Download or read book Modern Mexican Culture written by Stuart A. Day and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diego Rivera’s mural Sueño de una tarde dominical en la Alameda Central is a fascinating critique of high society and wealthy elites. It also offers a multitude of other stories that intersect in a web of historical memory. The massive mural, the histories it depicts, and even its physical journey after a devastating earthquake, hold answers to many of the questions readers might ask about Mexico. It also demonstrates how cultural artifacts explain the world around us and expose intersections and entanglements of specific power dynamics. Modern Mexican Culture offers an enriching and deep investigation of key ideas and events in Mexico through an examination of art and history. Experts in Mexican cultural and literary studies cover the 1968 Tlatelolco student massacre, the figure of the charro (cowboy), the construct of the postrevolutionary teacher, the class-correlated construct of gente decente, a borderlands response to the rhetoric of dominance, and the “democratic transition” in late twentieth-century Mexico. Each essay is a rich reading experience, providing teachers and students alike with a deep and well-contextualized sense of Mexican life, culture, and politics. Each chapter provides a historical grounding of its topic, followed by a multifaceted analysis through various artistic representations that provide a more complex view of Mexico. Chapters are accompanied by lists of readily available murals, political cartoons, plays, pamphlets, posters, films, poems, novels, and other cultural products. Modern Mexican Culture demonstrates the power of art and artists to question, explain, and influence the world around us. Contributors: Rafael Acosta Morales Jacqueline E.

Download or read book Pedro Alc ntara En el V rtice de las segunda mitad del siglo XX written by Julián Malatesta and published by Universidad del Valle. This book was released on 2024-08-09 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pedro Alcántara se sitúa en el vórtice crucial de la segunda mitad del siglo xx, período, en que el arte y las letras latinoamericanas expresan un especial empuje renovador y la militancia de los creadores enfrenta las atrocidades de las guerras imperiales, las funestas dictaduras que oscurecieron el cielo de este joven continente y las endémicas formas de violencia que son una venda para el espíritu. Abordar su obra obliga a ponerla en consonancia con ese rico y contradictorio contexto del pensamiento y de la historia, y permite que su trabajo como hombre de la cultura halle una explicación más compleja que contribuya a comprender su indagación y sus alcances estéticos. Pedro Alcántara is situated in the pivotal vortex of the second half of the 20th century, where Latin American arts and literature display a special revitalizing thrust and where militancy of the creators faces the atrocities of the imperialr wars, the baleful dictatorships that darkened the sky of this young continent, and the endemic forms of violence that are a blindfold for the spirit. Addressing Alcántaras work oblíges one to place it in accordance to that rich and contradictory context of thought and history, allowing his work, as a man of culture, to find a more complex explanation that contributes, to the understanding of his inquiry and of his a esthetic scopes.

Download or read book Reality in Movement written by Maarten van Delden and published by Vanderbilt University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-15 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last couple of decades there has been a surge of interest in Octavio Paz's life and work, and a number of important books have been published on Paz. However, most of these books are of a biographical nature, or they examine Paz's role in the various intellectual initiatives he headed in Mexico, specifically the journals he founded. Reality in Movement looks at a wide range of topics of interest in Paz's career, including his engagement with the subversive, adversary strain in Western culture; his meditations on questions of cultural identity and intercultural contact; his dialogue with both leftist and conservative ideological traditions; his interest in feminism and psychoanalysis, and his theory of poetry. It concludes with a chapter on Octavio Paz as a literary character—a kind of reception study. Offering a complex and nuanced portrait of Paz as a writer and thinker—as well as an understanding of the era in which he lived—Reality in Movement will appeal to students of Octavio Paz and of Mexican literature more generally, and to readers with an interest in the many significant literary, cultural, political, and historical topics Paz wrote about over the course of his long career.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These powerful and visually arresting newspaper illustrations and woodcut broadsides whose subjects range from news to religion, from corridos (escapades of bandits and heroes) to calveras (skeletal figures associated with the Day of the Dead)reflect indigenous folk-art traditions. In his graphically powerful penny handbills, Posada responded to the political and social issues of his day, addressed cultural ills, and spread moral ideas. Focusing on the Art Institute of Chicago's impressive and previously unpublished collection of prints by Posada, this book examines his work and places it in the larger context of Mexican printmaking in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
