Book Ecos G  ticos en la Novela Del Cono Sur

Download or read book Ecos G ticos en la Novela Del Cono Sur written by Nadina Olmedo and published by Juan de la Cuesta-Hispanic Monographs. This book was released on 2013-10 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ecos goticos en la novela del Cono Sur analyzes a wide range of gothic allegories in relation to their social contexts. Olmedo interprets latent motifs from the past and present-including the metaphorical presence of vampires, ghosts, monstrous figures, and houses in ruins-and expounds upon them, examining transformations and reinventions of the genre while offering new and original categorizations of Southern Cone Gothic. Chapter one explores the dissemination of gothic figures and forms from their eighteenth-century Nordic and European origins to arrival to Latin America, emphasizing this trajectory especially in the context of those countries located in the south of the southern hemisphere. Chapter two discusses how gothic aesthetic was used at the beginning of the twentieth-century to comment on the effects of modernization and scientific/psychological discoveries in the region through the study of works by Atilio Chiapori and Horacio Quiroga. Chapter three analyzes the gothic as a powerful feminist discourse for female authors of the first half of the twentieth century, such as Maria Luisa Bombal and Armonia Somers. Chapter four focuses on the way the gothic aesthetic was employed as a mechanism to communicate social and moral decay in works by Jose Donoso and Beatriz Guido. Chapter five explores how gothic was used to question political-social repression and a dictatorship by Alejandra Pizarnik. Finally, the conclusion demonstrates that while the Gothic aesthetic maintains certain constants throughout the twentieth-century, its underlying meaning shifts to reflect the dominant political-social themes of each era, thus ensuring its continued appeal to popular audienc

  • Author : Simon Richards
  • Publisher : Taylor & Francis
  • Release : 2023-07-28
  • ISBN : 1000908356
  • Pages : 353 pages

Download or read book Region written by Simon Richards and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-07-28 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how the concept of ‘region’ has evolved over time and shaped architectural culture and practice. It questions what the words ‘region’ and ‘regional’ mean for architecture, cities and landscapes past and present, and speculates on the forms they might take in the future. Region is explored in many thematic guises: as a real geographical site of evolving socio-economic activity; as a mythical locus of enduring value; as a gatekeeper of indigenous crafts and vernacular techniques; as a site of architectural and artistic imagination; as a repository of contested, conflicted and mobile identities. The contributing chapters take these themes from the theoretical and literary page through to architectural and urban practice, and from the scale of the domestic hearth through to the ocean archipelago and international law, enriching the long-standing trope of viewing architectural regionalism purely as a matter of style. Curated into four key thematic areas – Theorised Regions, Contested Regions, Heritage Regions and Future Regions – the book incorporates the values, concerns and approaches of a truly diverse international community of scholars, curators and practitioners, as well as the design work of international students tasked to explore what region means to them.

Book The Origins of Mercosur

Download or read book The Origins of Mercosur written by G. Gardini and published by Springer. This book was released on 2010-02-15 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The processes of democratization and regionalization in South America ran parallel to one another between 1985 and 1991. However, the nature of this relationship is by no means clear. This book explores the diplomatic history of the formation of Mercosur and analyzes the precise place of democracy in the process. At the methodological level, a combination of hitherto unexamined documents and extensive interview material makes for a novel oral history approach to diplomatic studies. At the theoretical level, a melding of cognitive approaches to foreign policy making and realist theory of international relations provides a nuanced but systematic explanation of events.

Book The Darkest Sides of Politics  I

Download or read book The Darkest Sides of Politics I written by Jeffrey M. Bale and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-04 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines a wide array of phenomena that arguably constitute the most noxious, extreme, terrifying, murderous, secretive, authoritarian, and/or anti-democratic aspects of national and international politics. Scholars should not ignore these "dark sides" of politics, however unpleasant they may be, since they influence the world in a multitude of harmful ways. The first volume in this two-volume collection focuses on the history of underground neo-fascist networks in the post-World War II era; neo-fascist paramilitary and terrorist groups operating in Europe and Latin America in the 1960s and 1970s; and the manipulation of those and other terrorist organizations by the security forces of various states, both authoritarian and democratic. A range of global case studies are included, all of which focus on the lesser known activities of certain secular extremist milieus. This collection should prove to be essential reading for students and researchers interested in understanding seemingly arcane but nonetheless important dimensions of recent historical and contemporary politics.
