Download or read book Avenues of Translation written by Regina Galasso and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2019-04-15 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2020 SAMLA Studies Book Award — Edited Collection Cities both near and far communicate in a variety of ways. Travel between, through, and among urban centers initiates contact, and cities themselves are sites of ever-changing cultural and historical encounters. Predictable and surprising challenges and opportunities arise when city borders are crossed, voices meet, and artistic traditions find their counterparts. Using the Latin word for “translation,” translatio, or “to carry across,” as a point of departure, Avenues of Translation explores how translation perpetuates, diversifies, deepens, and expands the literary production of cities in their greater cultural context, and how translation shapes an understanding of and access to a city's past and present literary and cultural practices. Thinking about translation and the city is a way to tell the backstories of the cities, texts, and authors that are united by acts of translation. Published by Bucknell University Press. Distributed worldwide by Rutgers University Press.

Download or read book Indigenous Revolution in Ecuador and Bolivia 1990 2005 written by Jeffery M. Paige and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uprisings by indigenous peoples of Ecuador and Bolivia between 1990 and 2005 overthrew the five-hundred-year-old racial and class order inherited from the Spanish Empire. It started in Ecuador with the Great Indigenous Uprising, which was fought for cultural and economic rights. A few years later massive indigenous mobilizations began in Bolivia, culminating in 2005 with the election of Evo Morales, the first indigenous president. Jeffrey M. Paige, an internationally recognized authority on the sociology of revolutionary movements, interviewed forty-five indigenous leaders who were actively involved in the uprisings. The leaders recount how peaceful protest and electoral democracy paved the path to power. Through the interviews, we learn how new ideologies of indigenous socialism drew on the deep commonalities between the communal dreams of their ancestors and the modern ideology of democratic socialism. This new discourse spoke to the people most oppressed by both withering racism and neoliberal capitalism. Emphasizing mutual respect among ethnic groups (including the dominant Hispanic group), the new revolutionary dynamic proposes a communal worldview similar to but more inclusive than Western socialism because it adds indigenous cultures and nature in a spiritual whole. Although absent in the major revolutions of the past century, the themes of indigenous revolution—democracy, indigeneity, spirituality, community, and ecology—are critically important. Paige’s interviews present the powerful personal experiences and emotional intensity of the revolutionary leadership. They share the stories of mass mobilization, elections, and indigenous socialism that created a new form of twenty-first-century revolution with far-reaching applications beyond the Andes.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of the Jesuits written by Ines G. Zupanov and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-15 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through its missionary, pedagogical, and scientific accomplishments, the Society of Jesus-known as the Jesuits-became one of the first institutions with a truly "global" reach, in practice and intention. The Oxford Handbook of the Jesuits offers a critical assessment of the Order, helping to chart new directions for research at a time when there is renewed interest in Jesuit studies. In particular, the Handbook examines their resilient dynamism and innovative spirit, grounded in Catholic theology and Christian spirituality, but also profoundly rooted in society and cultural institutions. It also explores Jesuit contributions to education, the arts, politics, and theology, among others. The volume is organized in seven major sections, totaling forty articles, on the Order's foundation and administration, the theological underpinnings of its activities, the Jesuit involvement with secular culture, missiology, the Order's contributions to the arts and sciences, the suppression the Order endured in the 18th century, and finally, the restoration. The volume also looks at the way the Jesuit Order is changing, including becoming more non-European and ethnically diverse, with its members increasingly interested in engaging society in addition to traditional pastoral duties.

Download or read book El sol de Texas Under the Texas Sun written by Conrado Espinoza and published by Arte Publico Press. This book was released on 2007-03-31 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "They had just crossed the bridge into the United States. Their feet were now firmly planted on the soil that was their promised land. They had made it! Blessed be the Virgin of Guadalupe! Now they had no reason to fear the villistas, the carrancistas, the government, or the revolutionaries! Here they could find peace, work, wealth and happiness!" And so begins the story of the Garcia family, who like many of their compatriots, fled their homeland during the upheaval of the Mexican Revolution in search of a better life in the United States. Originally published in 1926 in San Antonio, Texas as El sol de Texas, the novel chronicles the struggles of two Mexican immigrant families: the Garcias and the Quijanos. Their initial hopes--of returning to their homeland with enough money to buy their own piece of land--are worn away by the reality of immigrant life. Unable to speak English, they find themselves at the mercy of unscrupulous work contractors and foremen: forced to work at backbreaking labor picking cotton in the fields, building the burgeoning Southwest railroad system, and working in Gulf Coast oil refineries. Considered the first novel of Mexican immigration, El sol de Texas / Under the Texas Sun depicts the diverse experiences of Mexican immigrants, from those that return to Mexico beaten down by the discrimination and hardship they encounter, to those who persist in their adopted land in spite of the racism they face. The original Spanish-language text is accompanied by the first-ever English translation by Ethriam Cash Brammer and an introduction by John Pluecker. Publication of this fascinating historical novel will provide unique insight into the long history of Mexicanimmigration to the United States and its implications for cultural, historical, and literary studies.

Download or read book Napole n written by Alexandre Dumas and published by Espuela de Plata. This book was released on 2012-11-22 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La historia de Napoleón ha dado lugar a una producción bibliográfica oceánica que ha invadido la literatura y la mitología más allá del campo específico de la historia. Verdaderamente, lo mismo entonces que después, el Emperador es un personaje que ha hecho soñar y ha inspirado a numerosos escritores y novelistas. Uno de ello es Alexandre Dumas, el autor de Los tres mosqueteros o El conde de Montecristo, cuyo padre fue general del propio Emperador, como fue el caso también de Victor Hugo. Con su biografía sobre Napoleón, escrita de forma esquemática, Dumas, anticipándose al regreso a Francia de las cenizas del Emperador en 1840, supo captar mejor que nadie la cresta de la ola del entusiasmo napoleónico para, de una forma breve, sencilla y fácil de leer, escribir en el momento justo el libro apropiado. Alexandre Dumas (Villers-Cotterêts, 1803-Puys, cerca de Dieppe, 1870) es uno de los autores más prolíficos y populares de la literatura europea. Hijo de un general a las órdenes de Napoleón, que más tarde llegaría a conspirar contra este. Sus comienzos literarios fueron en París, donde desde joven se sintió arrastrado por una intensa vocación hacia el teatro y el drama, y aunque escribió numerosas obras, su fama mundial la alcanzó con la novela histórica. Publicó un sinfín de títulos, convirtiéndose, según frase de Delarme, en «el más famoso de los folletinistas y en el más hábil falsificador de la Historia». Vendió libros a millones, llegando a manejar una enorme fortuna que no dudó en dilapidarse, pues es de sobra sabido que derrochó a manos llenas, en una vida de fastuoso escándalo: lujo, frenesí amoroso, banquetes y viajes fueron conduciendo a Dumas a la ruina total. Murió refugiado en casa de su hijo, también Alexandre, y autor de La dama de las camelias. Este, en una carta en la que describía la muerte de su padre, llegó a trazar, tal vez sin saberlo, la mejor y más sintética de sus semblanzas: «Ha muerto como ha vivido: sin darse cuenta». Manuel Moreno Alonso es catedrático de Historia Contemporánea en la Universidad de Sevilla. Historiador de la Guerra de la Independencia y del mundo napoleónico, es miembro de la International Napoleonic Society. Autor, entre otros libros, de una biografía de Napoleón (Napoleón. De ciudadano a emperador) y de su hermano José (José Bonaparte. Un republicano en el trono de España), así como de La verdadera historia del asedio napoleónico de Cádiz (1810-1812), ha realizado numerosas ediciones de texto de época. Ha prologado, entre otras obras, Los periódicos españoles de la Guerra de la Independencia de M. Gómez Ímaz, la Autobiografía de Palafox, Memorias de un boticario (Episodios de la Guerra de la Independencia) de S. Blaze, Memorias de un prisionero de guerra inglés en 1810 de A. T. Blayney, Memorias de un recluta de 1808 de L. F. Gille, o De la Guerra de la Independencia en Galicia de Andrés Martínez Salazar.

Download or read book Reactive scattering for H H2 and H H2 and its isotopologues written by Dequan Wang and published by Logos Verlag Berlin GmbH. This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reactive scattering for H- + H2 and H+ + H2 and its isotopologues were investigated using different methods. The studies aimed at providing insights into elementary reactions, and go beyond these to more complexchemical reactions. By comparison of the reaction probabilities of H+ + H2 using adiabatic and non-adiabatic methods, it was found that, at low collision energies, the reaction preferentially occurs adiabatically, but at higher collision energies non-adiabatic effects should be taken into account. For H- + H2 and its isotopologues, we can see that, at low collision energies, the reaction probabilities and reaction cross section using SM-PES and AY-PES are very similar but different from PS-PES. The reaction cross sections investigated with quasi-classical trajectoriesare higher than those calculated with quantum wavepackets. For the collision H- and D- with HD, the main reaction path ways are different with the different collision energies.

Download or read book Taking Back the Streets written by Temma Kaplan and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2004-02-16 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Toward the end of the twentieth century in places ranging from Latin America and the Caribbean to Europe, the United States, South Africa, Nigeria, Iran, Japan, China, and South Asia, women and young people took to the streets to fight injustices they believed they could not confront in any other way. In the hope of changing the way politics is done, they called officials to account for atrocities they had committed and unjust laws they had upheld. They attempted to drive authoritarian governments from power by publicizing the activities these officials tried to hide. This powerful book takes us into the midst of these movements to give us a close-up look at how a new generation bore witness to human rights violations, resisted the efforts of regimes to shame and silence young idealists, and created a vibrant public life that remains a vital part of ongoing struggles for democracy and justice today. Through personal interviews, newspaper accounts, family letters, and research in the archives of human rights groups, this book portrays women and young people from Argentina, Chile, and Spain as emblematic of others around the world in their public appeals for direct democracy. An activist herself, author Temma Kaplan gives readers a deep and immediate sense of the sacrifices and accomplishments, the suffering and the power of these uncommon common people. By showing that mobilizations, sometimes accompanied by shaming rituals, were more than episodic—more than ways for societies to protect themselves against government abuses and even state terrorism—her book envisions a creative political sphere, a fifth estate in which ordinary citizens can reorient the political practices of democracy in our time.
