Book Theios Sophist  s

Download or read book Theios Sophist s written by Kristoffel Demoen and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2008-10-31 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flavius Philostratus’ Life of Apollonius of Tyana (Vita Apollonii), written in the first half of the third century CE, is a key text in the cultural, literary and religious history of the Second Sophistic and of Late Antiquity. Its generic and formal diversity, its shifting cultural and historical background, as well as its protean hero, call for a multifaceted and interdisciplinary reading. Theios Sophistès is the first collection of interpretative essays on the Vita Apollonii. Leading scholars in the field and younger critics make for a combination of methodological continuity and innovation. The book is divided into two sections, one focusing on literary and philological discussions and relating the Vita to other ancient texts and genres, and one dealing with religious and philosophical aspects. The wide range of approaches and perspectives does justice to the high level of literary, historical and philosophical-religious sophistication of this text.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Es una obra persistente en el esfuerzo por revelar lo que sucede en esa pequeña parte de un territorio compartido, en la que a pesar de los avances del gobierno en cuanto al marco jurídico, y a las bondades otorgadas por múltiples organizaciones humanitarias nacionales e internacionales a los migrantes, parece haberse detenido el tiempo. El fenómeno es tozudo, ahí sigue, la población flotante cada día se incrementa, las modalidades de "enganchar" a los migrantes se diversifica, es más agresiva; entonces, surgen las preguntas ¿existe un límite para el sufrimiento humano? ¿Le otorgan los actores en sus interrelaciones, al sufrimiento humano, la mínima conceptualización ética, cuando se observa que en algunos hogares, en su interior, existen acciones que conocemos como inmorales? ¿Tiene sentido real la vida ara ellos? ¿Qué sucede con la conciencia moral individual y colectiva de los decisores de políticas? Es esta una narrativa que si bien en principio se inspira en la realidad, la autora se vale del conocimiento del contexto y una imaginación extraordinaria, para dar forma a una obra sin precedentes.

En Ciencias Políticas y Sociales; Postdoctorante en Desarrollo Regional; Perfil Deseable PROMEP; Miembro del RCEA-CONACYT; Medalla Benito Juárez a la Investigación, Autora de múltiples libros y artículos nacionales e internacionales, Catedrática y Funcionaria Pública.

Book 1956  Historias de la pelota  Parte 1

Download or read book 1956 Historias de la pelota Parte 1 written by Octavio Rivero Álvarez and published by Caligrama. This book was released on 2019-03-14 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La selección de España siempre fue un cúmulo de talento, pero tuvieron que pasar más de ochenta años para que volviera a conjuntar lo que tuvo en los años treinta, un titán en la portería, un coloso en la defensa, una media cancha de ensueño y una delantera mágica. Solo Mussolini y la guerra evitaron su consagración. 1956 es una novela inspirada en la vida de Gabriel Hanot, futbolista y periodista francés nacido a finales del siglo XIX. En ella, nos narra la historia del fútbol durante los primeros cincuenta y seis años del siglo XX. La fundación de los organismos internacionales, la creación de las primeras competiciones de clubes a nivel internacional y nacional, así como el surgimiento de las copas del mundo. Todo nos guía al 13 de junio de 1956, fecha en la que se enfrentan Real Madrid y Stade de Reims, en París, para disputar la primera final de la Copa de Campeones de Europa; torneo creado por Gabriel y apoyado por Santiago Bernabéu, quien, tras llegar al club como un niño, se convierte mucho tiempo después en el más grande dirigente deportivo de la historia. 1956 habla dela vida de aquellos que ahora están en el olvido, pero gracias a los que hoy podemos gritar «¡gol!».

Book Conflicts of Interest

Download or read book Conflicts of Interest written by MarÕa Amparo Ruiz de Burton and published by Arte Publico Press. This book was released on 2001-04-30 with total page 676 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: María Amparo Ruiz de Burton, the recently discovered nineteenth-century novelist, broke many of the boundaries that circumscribed the life of both women and Hispanics in the southwestern territories of the United States. Not only was she the first Hispanic novelist to write English, but her courage and resolve took her into the circles of governmental and financial power where very few women had tread before. Conflicts of Interest captures the conflicted personality of María Amparo Ruiz de Burton, a woman pulled in different directions by tensions of class, race, gender, and nationality. The trajectory of Ruiz de Burtons life through her correspondence makes for a compelling and revealing narrative, one that brings to life the evolution of discourse and culture in the Southwest as it was becoming integrated in the United States a process which, some might argue, continues today. This volume is as complete a collection of the Ruiz de Burton letters as is possible, given the imperfect historical record. Included are various personal and business documents and a collection of articles about her family. Among her correspondents were such important historical figures as Samuel L. M. Barlow, E. W. Morse, Prudenciana Moreno, and Platón Vallejo. But this album is not a simple collection of letters and documents; rather, researchers Sánchez and Pita have made great efforts to reconstitute Ruiz de Burtons life and times through their analysis and commentary.

Book The Border Simulator

  • Author : Gabriel Dozal
  • Publisher : One World
  • Release : 2023-08-15
  • ISBN : 0593447301
  • Pages : 241 pages

Download or read book The Border Simulator written by Gabriel Dozal and published by One World. This book was released on 2023-08-15 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A world-bending, lyrically rich poetry collection that reimagines the U.S.-Mexico border as both a real place and a living simulation—and tells the story of a pair of siblings trapped between the two “Word coyote Gabriel Dozal is crossing borders with this story. It’s his job: narrative poetry discovering a new language.”—Sandra Cisneros, author of Woman Without Shame “This crosser is a possession that someone wants but we’re not sure who and the crosser must often possess themselves. In perpetuity” In Gabriel Dozal’s debut collection, the U.S.-Mexico border is redefined as a place of invention; crossing it becomes a matter of simulation. The poems accompany Primitivo, who attempts to cross the border, an imaginary boundary that becomes more real and challenging as his journey progresses; and his sister, Primitiva, who lives an alternate, static life as an exploited migrant worker in la fabrica. The tech world and bureaucracy collide, with humanity falling by the wayside, as Primitiva endures drudgery in la fabrica. “In the past our ID cards were decorative. Now we switch off with someone else, another worker who will wipe the serenade from our eyes.” With no way to escape the simulation, Primitivo and Primitiva must participate in it, scheming to gain its favor. To win, you must be the best performer in the factory, the best imitation of a citizen, the best machine. Featuring a bilingual format for English and Spanish readers, The Border Simulator explores physical and metaphysical borders, as well as the digital divide of our modern era. With inventive imagery, spirited wordplay, and thrilling movement, these energetic poems oscillate between the harrowing and the joyful, interrogating, innovating, and ultimately redefining binaries and divisions.

  • ISBN : 1463320566

Download or read book Teor A Del Gas Real written by Ernesto F. Villacorta Olivares and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-02 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las ecuaciones de estado han tratado de imitar el comportamiento de los gases reales, pero en algún punto dado la función de estado se aleja de la función evaluada para datos experimentales. Es decir, en algún momento la correlación matemática no coincide con el desempeño del gas real. Esto se debe a que las mencionadas ecuaciones de estado han prescindido, hasta ahora, del término cinético, inercial. Aquí se presenta la única ecuación que incluye dicho término con los resultados esperados.

Book Ensayos sobre cr  tica literaria

Download or read book Ensayos sobre cr tica literaria written by Antonio Alatorre and published by El Colegio de Mexico AC. This book was released on 2013-08-24 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Antonio Alatorre reunió, en 1993, trece artículos en los que expone su manera de ver la literatura y de entender y ejercer la crítica literaria. No formula ninguna "teoría literaria" ni ninguna "metodología" (nada más ajeno a sus afanes), simplemente propone su manera de entender dos fenómenos indisolublemente trabados: la literatura y la lectura. Alatorre muestra que el que lee y, muy importante, siente lo que lee, es ya un crítico literario en potencia: con las herramientas adecuadas será capaz de pensar críticamente y de explicar las razones de la emoción experimentada. El crítico no es sino un lector más "formado", más "instruido", dotado de mayor capacidad de recepción, de mayor sagacidad literaria y de la capacidad y honradez para transmitir elocuente y claramente su experiencia de lector. Este "librito" se publicó originalmente en la colección Lecturas Mexicanas de Conaculta. Actualmente esta edición se encuentra agotada. De 1993 a 2010, Alatorre añadió algunas noticias más, pulió una que otra idea (pocas) y corrigió poquísimas cosillas de estilo. Se ofrece esta nueva edición (algo corregida y añadida) para conmemorar los 90 años del nacimiento de Antonio Alatorre.
