Download or read book Intermittences written by Ana Forcinito and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2019-01-09 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The construction of memory entails a battle not only between memory and forgetting but also between different memories. There are multiple constructions of memory, and in the dispute between them, some become hegemonic, while others remain in the margins. Ana Forcinito explores the intermittences of transitional justice and memory in post-dictatorship Uruguay. The processes of building memory and transitional justice are repetitive but inconstant. They are contested by both internal and external forces and shaped by tensions between oblivion and silence. Forcinito explores models of reconciliation to present an alternative narrative of the past and to expose the blind spots of memory.

Download or read book Linguistic Advances in Central American Spanish written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-09-29 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering all seven countries on the isthmus, this volume presents the first collection of original linguistic studies on Central American Spanish varieties, which have long been neglected in Hispanic Linguistics. The analyses in this collection span across disciplines such as sociolinguistics, corpus linguistics, bilingualism, historical linguistics, and pragmatics. This volume bridges the gap between international and Central American scholars, as it highlights the work that has already been done by Central American scholars but is relatively unknown to scholars outside of the region. It also introduces readers to more recent work that sheds new light on Central American Spanish varieties, from both urban and rural settings as well as in bilingual communities where Spanish is in contact with indigenous languages.

Download or read book Transnational Orientalisms in Contemporary Spanish and Latin American Cinema written by Michele C. Dávila Gonçalves and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-02-08 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades in Spain and Latin America, transnational voices, typically stereotyped, alienated or co-opted in the Western world, have been gaining increasing presence in cultural texts. The transnational representation of the “Oriental” subject, namely Arabs and Jews, Chinese and other ethnic groups that have migrated to Spain and Latin America either voluntarily or forcefully, is now being seen anew in both literature and cinema. This book explores Orientalism beyond literature, in which it has already garnered attention, to examine the new ways of seeing and interpreting both the Middle East and the East in contemporary films, in which many of the immigrants traditionally omitted from the dominant narratives are able to present the trauma, memories and violence of their exile and migration. As such, this volume explores the representation of those single and doubly marginalized groups in contemporary Spanish and Latin American cinema, analysing how films from Spain, Mexico, Chile, Brazil and Argentina portray transnational subjects from a wide spectrum of the “Orient” world, including Maghrebs from North Africa, and Palestinian, Jewish, Chinese, and Korean peoples. Once vulnerable to the dominant culture of their adopted homes, facing ostracism and marginalisation, these groups are now entering into the popular imagination and revised history of their new countries. This volume explores the following questions as starting points for its analysis: Are these manifestations the new orientalist normative, or are there other characterizations? Are new cinematic scopes and understandings being created? The old stereotypical orientalist ways of seeing these vulnerable groups are beginning to change to a more authentic representation, although, in some cases, they may still reside in the subtext of films.

Download or read book Ecce Homo Sexual written by José María Gómez and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-06-08 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La novela suscita una expectativa exigente y coloca en entredicho la solidez de las arraigadas convenciones morales. Respira una densa atmósfera de cautiverio, sensualidad inconfesada, que deja entrever algo, a la vez sereno y terrible. Retrapasión erótica, ta crudamente un mundo marginal vinculado a la que nunca deriva en descontrol de la prosa, y que es precisa en la descripción de ambientes y acciones. El discurso del éxtasis religioso y las modalidades del lenguaje policial, puestos al servicio de un homoerotismo tan violento como alucinado, son algunos de los muy variados registros que la novela va pulsando a lo largo de sus cuadros, con total acierto. La fusión de géneros, la pornografía con el policial, la vida de santo con la picaresca porteña boediana, dan como resultado una forma de extraordinaria potencia narrativa, que se inserta claramente en la tradición de autores como Jean Genet o Pier Paolo Pasolini, al tiempo que llama la atención por la ausencia de cualquier tipo de lugar común".
