Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Struggles for Recognition traces the emergence of melodrama in Latin American silent film and silent film culture. Juan Sebastián Ospina León draws on extensive archival research to reveal how melodrama visualized and shaped the social arena of urban modernity in early twentieth-century Latin America. Analyzing sociocultural contexts through film, this book demonstrates the ways in which melodrama was mobilized for both liberal and illiberal ends, revealing or concealing social inequities from Buenos Aires to Bogotá to Los Angeles. Ospina León critically engages Euro-American and Latin American scholarship seldom put into dialogue, offering an innovative theorization of melodrama relevant to scholars working within and across different national contexts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Y todos eramos actores, un siglo de luz y sombra nos sumerge en una doble historia de amor, una de emotiva y humana dimension entre nuestro heroe y La Bella entre las bellas; y otra, sublime y tragica, entre un recio, varonil y enorme camion frances de 36 toneladas y un fragil y coqueto auto dorado, al mas puro y chabacano gusto narco, que sin rumbo deambulaban transportando actores y viejos decorados por los escarpados caminos de la cordillera de los Andes desde Buenos Aires, Argentina, hasta Santa Marta, Colombia.Una historia que como los amores se desarrolla entre la comedia italiana y la tragedia griega al recorrer un siglo herido mostrando la belleza de su piel y el hedor de sus heridas.Relata la epopeya de un hombre-testigo-actor-aventurero que sonriendo cruzo sin ser visto un siglo tormentoso en el que por haber visto lo que no debio ver, y saber que no lo vio todo, fue condenado a desaparecer de la historia escrita en blanco y negro, la lineal e insipida que exige tomar partido, aquella que busca reemplazar los barrotes de hierro de la celda por barrotes de deslucidos parlamentos destinados a encerrar el pensamiento y desterrar la voz discordante.Ajada historia de falsos decorados de carton piedra que quieren ocultar la realidad olvidando que en aquella epoca no habia espectadores, que todos eramos actores, olvidando que la razon de ser del actor es morir para renacer sobre otro escenario en la piel de otro personaje ocultandose asi de los inquisidores para, riendose, contrastar la belleza y el hedor de un siglo de luz y sombra. !Oh dioses, tened piedad de mi, dadme la fuerza necesaria para inmolarme y renacer en la palabra! y a vosotros, lectores, les pido que me acompanen por los espirales de vida y de muerte hasta desaparecer en el ultimo escalon de la obra cuando libres podran escoger el papel que les corresponda.La prosa traviesa, el verso herido, la imagen cinematografica, la replica insolente, el viaje, la autobiografia y la ficcion se entremezclan en Y todos eramos actores recuperando la riqueza perdida en la escritura, aquella que Enrique Vila-Matas imaginara para el futuro de la literatura y del libro, como lo dijera en la FIL de Guadalajara:"e;Pensaba que en este siglo se mezclarian la autobiografia, el diario de viajes y la ficcion. Pensaba que ibamos a una literatura mixta donde los limites se difuminarian, pensaba que la accion se difuminaria en favor del pensamiento"e;... "e;Luego las cosas se torcieron. La industria editorial esta erradicando de la literatura todo aquello que nos quiere hacer creer que es demasiado pesado o que va demasiado cargado de sentido. El panorama desde el punto de vista literario es desolador"e;.Desolador, a menos que se escoja la curva equivocada, la mas peligrosa y por ello la mas excitante y hermosa, rechazando los derroteros que la industria editorial corporativa nos quiere imponer a usted como lector y a mi como escritor, y escojamos libremente un mundo editorial en el que el yo, lector y el yo, escritor, en la diversidad, podamos amarnos.De Y todos eramos actores:Dos dias mas tarde levantamos la huelga de hambre, se habia encontrado una salida al laberinto, faltaba solamente despejar las vias para alcanzar esa salida, en Colombia nada es facil, un si es un no y en el mejor de los casos un quizas; un silencio es un grito y en ese espacio nos habian permitido desplazarnos, se regresaba a las costumbres milenarias, a las primeras civilizaciones: a los locos y los juglares se les respeta hermano, en ellos somos, en ellos permanece nuestra memoria.*Rompio las fronteras, el director no esta hablando de Colombia.*Y nosotros no estamos hablando de nuestros muertos; nuestras masacres son sus masacres, nuestros laberintos no tienen salida.El mar nuevamente me ofrecia una salida.*Entrada, entrada, no salida. Hay algunos que nunca aprenden.
Download or read book Bodies beyond Labels written by Daniel Holcombe and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2024-06-03 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bodies beyond Labels explores moments of joy and joyful expressions of self-identity, intimacy, sexuality, affect, friendship, social relationships, and religiosity in imperial Spanish cultures, a period when embodiments of such joy were shadowed by comparatively more constrictive social conventions. Viewed in this manner, joy frames historic references to gender, sexuality, and present-day concepts of queerness through homoeroticism, non-labelled bodies, gender fluidity, and performativity. This collection reveals diverse glimmers of joy through a variety of genres, including plays, poems, novels, autobiographies, biblical narratives, and civil law texts, among others. The book is divided into five categories: theatrical works that use mythology to enjoy themes of homoeroticism; narrative prose and visual arts that reveal public and private homoerotic expressions; scopophilia within garden and museum spaces that make possible joyous observations of non-labelled and non-corporeal bodies; biblical narratives and epistolary works that signal religious transgressions of gender and friendship; and sexual geographies explored in historic and legal documents. As new generations develop more nuanced senses of gender and sexual identities, Bodies beyond Labels strives to provide new academic optics, as framed by non-labelled bodies, queer theorizations, joy in unexpected places, and the light that has historically (re)emerged from the shadows.

This book was released on 2018-05-18 with total page 581 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under the Franco regime (1939-1976), films produced in Spain were of poor quality, promoted the regime’s agenda, or were heavily censored. After the dictator’s death, the Spanish film industry transitioned into a new era, one in which artists were able to more freely express themselves and tackle subjects that had been previously stifled. Today, films produced in Spain are among the most highly regarded in world cinema. The Encyclopedia of Contemporary Spanish Films features nearly 300 entries on the written by a host of international scholars and film critics. Beginning with movies released after Franco’s death, this volume documents four decades of films, directors, actresses and actors of Spanish cinema. Offering a comprehensive survey of films, the entries address such topics as art, culture, society and politics. Each includes comprehensive production details and provides brief suggestions for further reading. Through its examination of the films of the post-Franco period, this volume offers readers valuable insights into Spanish history, politics, and culture. An indispensable guide to one of the great world cinemas, The Encyclopedia of Contemporary Spanish Films will be of interest to students, academics, and the general public alike.

Download or read book Guide to the Cinema of Spain written by Marvin D'Lugo and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1997-11-25 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide to Spanish film documents the film industry's interpretation of the isolating effects of the cultural traditionalism of the early twentieth century to the expanding international popularity of such films as Trueba's Belle Epoque, Aranda's Amantes, and Bigas Luna's Jamón, Jamón, and such actors as Victoria Abril, Carmen Maura, and Antonio Banderas. This is the first volume in a new Greenwood series that discusses, historically and critically, films, directors, and actors in film industries throughout the world. Each volume will include a detailed historical introduction and will provide an in-depth treatment of the most important films and individuals involved in the industry. End-of-entry bibliographies provide sources for further reading and appendixes provide additional useful information. The Guides will be valuable to scholars, students, and film buffs. Spanish cinema is in many ways a microcosm of the tensions and conflicts that have shaped the evolution of the nation over the course of this century. Spanish film as a cultural institution is rarely divorced from the political and social currents that have shaped the larger Spanish culture torn as it was between tendencies of localism and internationalism. It languished in industrial and artistic underdevelopment for many years under Franco; it is now, however, experiencing international recognition while remaining rooted in the specificity of its own popular cultural styles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Beginning with the oil blowout in 1922 that is considered the moment that marked Venezuela's entry into a 'modern' era, Refined Material explores the integral relationship between Venezuelan oil industry and artistic production. In this groundbreaking study, Sean Nesselrode Moncada examines Venezuela's mid-century art and architecture in an argument that reinforces the inextricability of the rise of a capitalist and centralized state from life, activism, and art. Oil provided the crucible for national reinvention, ushering in a period of dizzying optimism and bitter disillusion as artists, architects, graphic designers, activists, and critics sought to define the terms of modernity. Looking at five different but interrelated case studies--a print magazine, a planned housing community, a luxury hotel, a kinetic museum installation, and a documentary film--this book brings forth a novel reading to the renowned Venezuelan modernist canon and reveals how the logic of refinement conditioned the terms of development and redefined our relationship to nature, matter, and one another"--
