Download or read book UCRANIA EN SU HISTORIA Y SUS HISTORIAS written by ASOCIACIÓN EUROPEA DE INICIATIVAS PARA UCRANIA and published by GLOBAL SQUARE EDITORIAL S.L.. This book was released on 2023-10-01 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hasta hace muy poco, en nuestro debate era una rara avis poder escuchar a ucranianos hablar en primera persona de sus experiencias y compartir sus perspectivas, sus anhelos, como el sujeto histórico que conforman. Este libro, anterior a la invasión rusa a gran escala de 2022, surgió en gran medida en respuesta a ello. Era necesario entonces y sigue siéndolo ahora: el futuro de Ucrania como país europeo libre e independiente, un país normal, con una vida digna, sigue desgraciadamente en cuestión. Que se haya traducido al español un libro así, es muy buena noticia: en nuestra lengua y contexto cultural, es aún enorme el vacío de conocimiento sobre Ucrania - y más aún contada por intelectuales ucranianos.Así que por favor lean a estos autores y autoras ucranianas con calma, sin prejuicios ni ideas preconcebidas: escúchenles, tienen mucho que decir, que contar. Quién sabe, quizás se animen después a coger un avión y un tren - esos magníficos trenes ucranianos que me inspiraron a escribir allí - para conocer de primera mano las historias o, mejor aún, experiencias históricas vivas y personajes vivos que fluyen a través de estas páginas.

Download or read book The Secret History of Gender written by Steve J. Stern and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2000-11-09 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study of gender relations in late colonial Mexico (ca. 1760-1821), Steve Stern analyzes the historical connections between gender, power, and politics in the lives of peasants, Indians, and other marginalized peoples. Through vignettes of everyday life, he challenges assumptions about gender relations and political culture in a patriarchal society. He also reflects on continuity and change between late colonial times and the present and suggests a paradigm for understanding similar struggles over gender rights in Old Regime societies in Europe and the Americas. Stern pursues three major arguments. First, he demonstrates that non-elite women and men developed contending models of legitimate gender authority and that these differences sparked bitter struggles over gender right and obligation. Second, he reveals connections, in language and social dynamics, between disputes over legitimate authority in domestic and familial matters and disputes in the arenas of community and state power. The result is a fresh interpretation of the gendered dynamics of peasant politics, community, and riot. Third, Stern examines regional and ethnocultural variation and finds that his analysis transcends particular locales and ethnic subgroupings within Mexico. The historical arguments and conceptual sweep of Stern's book will inform not only students of Mexico and Latin America but also students of gender in the West and other world regions.
Download or read book Historia de la sexualidad Vol 1 La voluntad de saber written by Michel Foucault and published by Siglo XXI Editores México. This book was released on 2014-05-15 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abordar la sexualidad como experiencia históricamente singular requiere desentrañar los saberes que a ella se refieren , bucear en los sistemas de poder que regulan su práctica y, sobre todo, comprender las formas según las cuales los individuos se conciben y se declaran como sujetos de esa sexualidad. La historia de la sexualidad, el proyecto más ambicioso en la obra de Michel Foucault -del que sólo alcanzó a publicar los primeros tres volúmenes-, es una deslumbrante e iconoclasta exploración de los juegos de verdad mediante los cuales el ser humano se ha reconocido como hombre de deseo. Su primer volumen, La voluntad de saber, está consagrado a definir el régimen de poder-saber-placer que sostiene el discurso sobre la sexualidad humana y a mostrar que, más que a través de la represión del sexo, el poder opera mediante la producción discursiva de la sexualidad y de los sujetos de "naturaleza sexual". El punto esencial no es saber si al sexo se le dice sí o no, si se castigan o no las palabras que lo designan, sino determinar en qué formas, a través de qué canales, deslizándose a lo largo de qué discursos llega el poder hasta las conductas más tenues y más individuales, qué caminos le permiten alcanzar las formas infrecuentes o apenas perceptibles del deseo, cómo infiltra y controla el placer cotidiano. No pretendo afirmar que la prohibición del sexo sea un engaño, sino que lo es convertirla en el elemento fundamental y constituyente a partir del cual se podría escribir la historia de lo que ha sido dicho a propósito del sexo en la época moderna.
Download or read book False Mystics written by Nora E. Jaffary and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: False Mystics provides a history of popular religion, race, and gender in colonial Mexico focusing on questions of spiritual and social rebellion and conformity. Nora E. Jaffary examines more than one hundred trials of ?false mystics? whom the Mexican Inquisition prosecuted in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. While the accused experienced many of the same phenomena as bona fide mystics?visions, sacred illness, and bouts of demonic possession?the Mexican tribunal condemned them nevertheless. False Mystics examines why the Catholic church viewed the accused as deviants and argues that this categorization was due in part to unconventional aspects of their spirituality and in part to contemporary social anxieties over class and race mixing, transgressions of appropriate gendered behavior, and fears of Indian and African influences on orthodox Catholicism. Jaffary examines the transformations this category of heresy underwent between Spain and the New World and explores the relationship between accusations of "false" mysticism and contemporary notions of demonic possession, sickness, and mental illness. Jaffary adopts the perspectives of visionaries to examine the influence of colonial artwork on their spiritual imaginations and to trace the reasons that their spirituality diverged from conventional expressions of piety. False Mystics illuminates the challenges that popular religion and individual spirituality posed to both the institutional church and the colonial social order.

Book excerpt: Alrededor del volcán Popocatépetl, los tiemperos, cuidadores del temporal o graniceros incursionan cada noche al mundo onírico para comunicarse con el volcán manteniéndolo contento, propiciando la lluvia y apaciguando el granizo que daña sus cosechas. Para los graniceros, la comunicación con el volcán es de vital importancia, sosteniendo una relación casi personal con él, considerándolo un ser vivo consciente con el cual comulgan día a día. A través de las narraciones de los sueños de Don Epifanio, el lector se adentrará en el inconsciente colectivo que permea el universo de los graniceros, en donde se manifiestan simbolísmos sincréticos a través de sus sueños arquetípicos que ayudan a comprender mejor la fusión espiritual que aun se aprecia en México.

Download or read book Caught Between the Lines written by Carlos Riobó and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2019-04 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Caught between the Lines examines how the figure of the captive and the notion of borders have been used in Argentine literature and painting to reflect competing notions of national identity from the nineteenth to the twenty-first centuries. Challenging the conventional approach to the nineteenth-century trope of "civilization versus barbary," which was intended to criticize the social and ethnic divisions within Argentina in order to create a homogenous society, Carlos Riobó traces the various versions of colonial captivity legends. He argues convincingly that the historical conditions of the colonial period created an ethnic hybridity--a mestizo or culturally mixed identity--that went against the state compulsion for a racially pure identity. This mestizaje was signified not only in Argentina's literature but also in its art, and Riobó thus analyzes colonial paintings as well as texts. Caught between the Lines focuses on borders and mestizaje (both biological and cultural) as they relate to captives: specifically, how captives have been used to create a national image of Argentina that relies on a logic of separation to justify concepts of national purity and to deny transculturation.
Download or read book Ideology and Inquisition written by Martin Austin Nesvig and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first comprehensive treatment in English of the ideology and practice of the Inquisitional censors, focusing on the case of Mexico from the 1520s to the 1630s. Others have examined the effects of censorship, but Martin Nesvig employs a nontraditional approach that focuses on the inner logic of censorship in order to examine the collective mentality, ideological formation, and practical application of ideology of the censors themselves. Nesvig shows that censorship was not only about the regulation of books but about censorship in the broader sense as a means to regulate Catholic dogma and the content of religious thought. In Mexico, decisions regarding censorship involved considerable debate and disagreement among censors, thereby challenging the idea of the Inquisition as a monolithic institution. Once adapted to cultural circumstances in Mexico, the Inquisition and the Index produced not a weapon of intellectual terror but a flexible apparatus of control.

Download or read book The Reptant Eagle written by Roberto Cantú and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-01-12 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carlos Fuentes (1928–2012) was the most prominent novelist in contemporary Mexico and, until his recent death, one of the leading voices in Latin America’s Boom generation. He received the most prestigious awards and prizes in the world, including the Latin Civilization Award (presented by the Presidents of Brazil, Mexico, and France), the Miguel de Cervantes Prize, and the Prince of Asturias Award. During his fecund and accomplished life as a writer, literary theorist, and political analyst, Fuentes turned his attention to the major conflicts of the twentieth century – from the Second World War and the Cuban Revolution, to the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, the war in Vietnam, and the post-revolutionary crisis of the one-party rule in Mexico – and attended to their political and international importance in his novels, short fiction, and essays. Known for his experimentation in narrative techniques, and for novels and essays written in a global range that illuminate the conflicts of our times, Fuentes’s writings have been rightfully translated into most of the world’s languages. His literary work continues to spur and provoke the interest of a global readership on diverse civilizations and eras, from Imperial Spain and post-revolutionary France, to Ancient and Modern Mexico, the United States, and Latin America. The Reptant Eagle: Essays on Carlos Fuentes and the Art of the Novel includes nineteen essays and one full introduction written exclusively for this volume by renowned Fuentes scholars from Asia, Europe, the United States, and Latin America. Collected into five parts, the essays integrate wide-ranging methods and innovative readings of The Death of Artemio Cruz (1962), Aura (1962), Terra Nostra (1975) and, among other novels, Distant Relations (1980); they analyze the visual arts in Fuentes’s novels (Diego Rivera’s murals and world film); chart and comment on the translations of Fuentes’s narratives into Japanese and Romanian; and propose comprehensive readings of The Buried Mirror (1992) and Personas (2012), Fuentes’s posthumous book of essays. Beyond their comprehensive and interdisciplinary scope, the book’s essays trace Fuentes’s conscious resolve to contribute to the art of the novel and to its uninterrupted tradition, from Cervantes and Rabelais to Thomas Mann and Alejo Carpentier, and from the Boom generation to Latin America’s “Boomerang” group of younger writers. This book will be of importance to literary critics, teachers, students, and readers interested in Carlos Fuentes’s world-embracing literary work.
