Download or read book The Willow and the Spiral written by Roberto Cantú and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-01-14 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Octavio Paz (México, 1914–1998) was one of the foremost poets and essayists of the twentieth century. Read in translations into many of the world’s languages, Paz received numerous awards and prizes during his lifetime, participated in major artistic and political movements of the twentieth century, served as Mexico’s ambassador in India (1962–1968), and was the editor of Plural and Vuelta, two literary journals of prominent influence in Mexico, Latin America, and Spain. In 1990 Paz was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. This book of essays is a commemoration of Octavio Paz on the first centenary of his birth, a celebration undertaken with Paz’s distinguishing legacy: criticism, internationally inclusive, and open to differing viewpoints. The Willow and the Spiral: Essays on Octavio Paz and the Poetic Imagination contains studies in English and in Spanish by top-ranking Paz scholars from various continents and wide-ranging literary traditions, as well as by an emerging generation of critics who approach the work of Octavio Paz from diverse and recent theoretical methods. Specially written for this volume, the fourteen essays are in-depth studies of Paz’s poetry and essays in relation to art, eroticism, literary history, politics, the art of translation, and to Paz’s life-long reflections on world cultures and civilizations as represented by China, France, India, Japan, the United States and, among others, Mesoamerica. The essays range from new critical analyses of Piedra de sol (Sunstone) and Blanco, to studies of Renga, the haiku tradition and, among other topics, Marcel Duchamp and the literary Avant-Garde. This book will be of importance to Paz scholars, teachers, students, and the general reader interested in Octavio Paz and in topics related to artistic, literary, and cultural movements that shaped the twentieth century and that continue to inspire and steer artists and writers in the twenty-first century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este volumen ofrece el primer estudio monogr©Łfico sobre uno de los poetas m©Łs citados y peor conocidos del barroco espa©łol: Francisco de Borja, pr©Ưncipe de Esquilache. Sus Obras en verso, publicadas por primera vez en 1648, constituyen uno de los proyectos laureados m©Łs elaborados y conscientes de la primera mitad del XVII. No s©đlo se trata de uno de los pocos cancioneros barrocos espa©łoles curados y editados por su propio autor, sino tambi©♭n del primer volumen de poes©Ưa dado a la imprenta por un miembro de la alta aristocracia castellana. En ©♭l, y desde la distancia de los a©łos y la poes©Ưa, el pr©Ưncipe de Esquilache recrea e instrumentaliza su estrecha relaci©đn con desos miembros de la rep©ðblica barroca de las letras [desde Lope de Vega a los Argensola o los condes de Lemos], individualiza su posici©đn con respecto a la pol©♭mica gongorina, a la vez que justifica sus a©łos de servicio pol©Ưtico a la corona o su derecho leg©Ưtimo al t©Ưtulo de Grande.Desde una perspectiva socioliteraria, este estudio propone la recuperaci©đn de las Obras de Esquilache como pieza clave para la comprensi©đn del papel del amateurismo aristocr©Łtico en la formaci©đn del campo literario barroco espa©łol. JAVIER JIM©́"-œNEZ BELMONTE es profesor adjunto en la Universidad de Fordham.

Download or read book Inventing the Critic in Renaissance England written by William M. Russell and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2020-09-21 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The turn of the seventeenth century was an important moment in the history of English criticism. In a series of pioneering works of rhetoric and poetics, writers such as Philip Sidney, George Puttenham, and Ben Jonson laid the foundations of critical discourse in English, and the English word "critic" began, for the first time, to suggest expertise in literary judgment. Yet the conspicuously ambivalent attitude of these critics toward criticism—and the persistent fear that they would be misunderstood, marginalized, scapegoated, or otherwise "branded with the dignity of a critic"—suggests that the position of the critic in this period was uncertain. In Inventing the Critic in Renaissance England, William Russell reveals that the critics of the English Renaissance did not passively absorb their practice from Continental and classical sources but actively invented it in response to a confluence of social and intellectual factors.

This book was released on 2017-07-26 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conflicts are inherent to human society, but most of them do not concern us directly as participants or eyewitnesses. How we see social conflicts depends on how they are presented to us. This volume gathers together writings by contemporary specialists in different fields, from different backgrounds, cultures and locations, but united by a common thread: the conviction that history and current affairs are constructed and presented, not according to the facts themselves, but according to media, culture, politics, gender, religion and other factors.

Download or read book Artists and Migration 1400 1850 written by Jessica David and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2017-01-06 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a thematic exploration of the migrant artist’s experience in Europe and its colonies from the early modern period through to the Industrial Revolution. The influence of the transient artist, both on their adoptive country as well as their own oeuvre and native culture, is considered through a collection of essays arranged according to geographic location. The contributions here examine the impetuses behind artistic migrations and the status of the foreign artist at home and abroad through the patterns of patronage, contemporary responses to their work and the preservation of their artistic legacy in domestic and foreign settings. Objects and sites from across the visual arts are considered as evidence of the migrant artist’s experience; talismans of cultural exchange that yielded hybrid artistic styles and disseminated foreign tastes and workshop practices across the globe.
