Download or read book Whispers from the Other Side written by Arturo Cantu Rivera and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-04-05 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thirty years in prison has a dramatic impact in the human soul. It either kills you or forces you to change one way or another. In my case it did both, killed the old self and gave birth to a new outlook in life. This work was written during my incarceration, 1989-2019, and rescued by my sister Hilda after my release. It represents reflections of the spirit and its evolution throughout said period of time. Unlike other books of its kind, this work does not speak directly of the shortcomings of prison life, rather, it focuses on the search for spiritual understanding of our fate as human beings, of our human condition. It depicts a spirit in motion towards the light of the inner self. May these reflections find solace in the land of wandering souls.

Download or read book Sex Sadism Spain and Cinema written by Nicholas G. Schlegel and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-06-11 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1968 to 1977, Spain experienced a boom in horror-movie production under a restrictive economic system established by the country’s dictator, Francisco Franco. Despite hindrance from the Catholic Church and Spanish government, which rigidly controlled motion picture content, hundreds of horror films were produced during this ten-year period. This statistic is even more remarkable when compared with the output of studios and production companies in the United States and elsewhere at the same time. What accounts for the staggering number of films, and what does it say about Spain during this period? In Sex, Sadism, Spain, and Cinema: The Spanish Horror Film, Nicholas G. Schlegel looks at movies produced, distributed, and exhibited under the crumbling dictatorship of General Franco. The production and content of these films, the author suggests, can lead to a better understanding of the political, social, and cultural conditions during a contentious period in Spain’s history. The author addresses the complex factors that led to the “official” sanctioning of horror films—which had previously been banned—and how they differed from other popular genres that were approved and subsidized by the government. In addition to discussing the financing and exhibiting of these productions, the author examines the tropes, conventions, iconography, and thematic treatments of the films. Schlegel also analyzes how these movies were received by audiences and critics, both in Spain and abroad. Finally, he looks at the circumstances that led to the rapid decline of such films in the late 1970s and early 1980s. By examining how horror movies thrived in Spain during this decade, this book addresses a sorely neglected gap in film scholarship and also complements existing literature on Spanish national cinema. Sex, Sadism, Spain, and Cinema will appeal to fans of horror films as well as scholars of film history, European history, genre studies, and cultural studies.

Download or read book Lethal Repetition written by Richard Dyer and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-29 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Serial killing is an extremely rare phenomenon in reality that is none-theless remarkably widespread in the cultural imagination. Moreover, despite its rarity, it is also taken to be an expression of characteristic aspects of humanity, masculinity, or our times. Richard Dyer investigates this paradox, focusing on the notion at its heart: seriality. He considers the aesthetics of the repetition of nastiness and how this relates to the perceptions and anxieties that images of serial killing highlight in the societies that produce them. Shifting the focus away from the US, which is often seen as the home of the serial killer, Lethal Repetition instead examines serial killing in European culture and cinema – ranging from Scandinavia to the Mediterranean and from Britain to Romania. Spanning all brows of cinema – including avant-garde, art, mainstream and trash – Dyer provides case studies on Jack the Ripper, the equation of Nazism with serial killing, and the Italian giallo film to explore what this marginal and uncommon crime is being made to mean on European screens.

The result is a richly informed and entertaining volume that will be of interest to all scholars in the field while also serving as an excellent introduction for students interested in popular music as a global phenomenon.

In drawing on Jan Fairley’s journalism, this volume also offers students a guide to various genres of world music, from Cuban son to flamenco, as well as an insight into the lives of such world music stars as Mercedes Sosa and Silvio Rodríguez.

Download or read book Spell of the Andes written by Dennis L. Siluk and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-06 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the poetic skill of Cesar Vallejo, and handiness of Ricardo Palma, Siluk produces a Peruvian background in a most favorable way. His vantage point, like the poet Par Lagerkvist, is rich with humanism. Thus, the Laureate Poet Dennis Siluk (awarded the title of the most favored writer for the Eldritch Dark Magazine, 2004 ((readership of some 2.2-million ((and l982, Pulitzer Entry)): his vantage point centers on the exploration and social identity of Peruvianism, for the most part; along with a twelve part poem on Vietnam. "In great poets we often find calmness and undisturbed beauty, a serenity and clarity." says acclaimed international poet Robert Bly, whom the author has had some correspondence with, and has met, and respects ... says Mr. Siluk, "Some poetry comes from our imagination and passion, like dreams that need daylight for them to be opened up; as did the Andes, Mantaro Valley, along with Huancayo and Lima, Peru, become the seeds for me in writing this new book, Spell of the Andes; which opened my imagination and passion up." Mr. Siluk once told me, "First you've heard of it, then you see it, then it becomes part of you"; and this book sure did become part of him. Rosa Pe aloza
Download or read book Cumand written by Juan León Mera and published by Linkgua. This book was released on 2019-04-01 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cumandá, también titulado Un drama entre salvajes, es una novela del ecuatoriano Juan León Mera. Juan León Mera, como auténtico hijo de su país y de su tierra, revela en toda su obra una clara predilección por los temas nativos. Cumandá es un anticipo de la novela indigenista que vendrá pocos años más tarde, pues refleja ya en este libro la protesta social indígena y su venganza contra su opresor. Tres hilos temáticos conforman esta novela de Juan León Mera: el amor, el indio y la selva. El subtítulo lo advierte y la narración se perfila entre pasiones, huidas, persecuciones y sacrificios. Cumandá es una novela fundadora de la narrativa ecuatoriana, y es también heredera ejemplar de la tradición romántica latinoamericana. A su manera, le da continuidad y la reorganiza. Así el amor imposible de una india y un blanco se engarza con la figura del buen salvaje. Juntos abren el universo sublime y misterioso de la selva. No falta la intriga, tampoco asombro. En Cumandá están los ecos de esas mujeres imaginadas en María de Jorge Isaacs, en Cecilia Valdés de Cirilo Villaverde o en Amalia de José Marmol. En los cuerpos de esos personajes literarios se pergeñaban proyectos biopolíticos y programas civilizatorios. También encontramos un diálogo con los textos de los exploradores, a la vez admirados y aterrados, frente a la naturaleza americana. Se dialoga además con las crónicas del Nuevo Mundo y las Tradiciones. Esas ingeniosas reconstrucciones del pasado que Ricardo Palmallevó a su cúspide. No son menos interesantes los modos en que Juan León Mera impugna las teorías sobre la inferioridad del indio. Aquí se cuestiona a Buffon, Montesquieu, Robertson, Domingo Faustino Sarmiento o José Ingenieros. A la vez pone en jaque todas aquellas concepciones de origen roussoniano, que enarbolaban al indio como un otro deseado. Se cuestiona la idea del idea del indio como estandarte que asegura el sueño colonial de América como un lugar ideal, virgen e impoluto. Queda por decidir si Cumandá se ubica a caballo entre una corriente indianista que insiste en una imagen exótica, decorativa y folclórica del indio, y otra corriente indigenista que lo pone en el centro del escenario, le da voz y se hace eco de su complejo universo cultural. En todo caso, esta novela reúne muchas de las preguntas que acompañan y aún acompañan el devenir de Ecuador y de América Latina.
