Download or read book Scripted Geographies written by Gayle R. Nunley and published by Bucknell University Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study offers the first book-length exploration of travel narratives by nineteenth-century Spanish authors. Focusing on texts produced during a crucial period in the development of Spain's modern consciousness at the close of its imperial age, Scripted Geographies shows how writers' strategies of travel representation reflected and participated in this process of cultural transformation. The first two chapters, devoted to travel within Europe, explore constructions of Spain's sometimes problematic encounter with Western society and traditions. The final chapters shift to orientalist travel, allowing reflection on how Spanish renderings of the non-Western other intersect with patterns found in the better-known corpus of orientalist literature produced in then-ascendant imperial powers like Britain and France. These textual constructions of cultural difference reflect at a profound level their authors' preoccupations and hopes for Spain, as well as their strong awareness of both the powers and dangers inherent in the process of representing real world experience via language. Professor of Spanish at the University of Vermont.

Download or read book The Land of the Hunger Artists written by Agustí Nieto-Galan and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-11-23 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the 1880s to the 1920s, hunger artists - professional fasters - lived on the fringes of public spectacle and academic experiment. Agustí Nieto-Galan presents the history of this phenomenon as popular urban spectacle and subject of scientific study, showing how hunger artists acted as mediators between the human and the social body. Doctors, journalists, impresarios , artists, and others used them to reinforce their different philosophical views, scientific schools, political ideologies, cultural values, and professional interests. The hunger artists generated heated debates on objectivity and medical pluralism, and fierce struggles over authority, recognition, and prestige. Set on the fringes of the freak show culture of the nineteenth century and the scientific study of physiology laboratories, Nieto-Galan explores the story of the public exhibition of hunger, emaciated bodies, and their enormous impact on the public sphere of their time.

Podemos apearnos en cada estación del trayecto para pasear, sin prisa, por el interior de cada uno de los géneros cinematográficos. En la estación del Drama, exploraremos conflictos personales, sentimientos, emociones. En la siguiente parada, Cine Histórico, contemplaremos hechos relevantes de épocas pasadas. La próxima, Cine Cómico, nos hará reír a gusto con Charlot, Buster Keaton, Harold Lloyd, el Gordo y el Flaco y los hermanos Marx... Las carcajadas se convertirán en sonrisas en la estación de La Comedia y así cobraremos fuerzas para lanzarnos con entusiasmo a visitar Cine de Aventuras. To d a v í a sin aliento, de tanta acción, nos dejaremos invadir por la intriga y el misterio en la estación El Thriller. El tren nos llevará luego a los grandes espacios épicos de Cine Bélico y nos conmoveremos con la grandeza humana que puede palpitar en el mayor de los horrores. Después de haber disfrutado de sustos y de situaciones que nos erizan los cabellos en la estación Cine de Terror, alcanzaremos las grandes praderas por las que cabalga John Wayne, el gran héroe americano. Tras el Western, la próxima parada. Cine Musical, nos permitirá disfrutar de elaboradas coreografías, con música, canción y baile. Y, como fin de trayecto, la estación Ciencia Ficción, nos lanzará una llamada de atención sobre asuntos clave del presente, proyectándolos a un futuro imaginario. Al concluir nuestro paseo por los géneros cinematográficos y haber hecho nuestras propias elecciones, comprenderemos que, mientras en los manuales se sigue elucubrando sobre qué son exactamente dichos géneros, en realidad somos nosotros, los espectadores, cuando elegimos ir a ver una del Oeste o de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, o una de terror, o una comedia romántica..., quienes, con nuestras preferencias, le damos sentido a cada uno de ellos. A fin de cuentas, los géneros cinematográficos existen y son lo que son porque el público, el imaginario colectivo, con sus gustos y preferencias, así lo ha decidido. ¡FELIZ VIAJE A TRAVÉS DEL CINE!
Download or read book Studies on Multilingual Lexicography written by María José Domínguez Vázquez and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-12-16 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the new technological advances and their influence and imprint in the design and development of dictionaries and lexicographic resources, it seems important to put together a series of publications that address this new situation, dealing in particular with multilingual and electronic lexicography in an increasingly digital, multilingual and multicultural society. This is the main objective of this volume, which is structured in two central aspects. In the first of them the concept of multilingual lexicography is discussed in regard to the influence that the Internet and the application of digital technologies have exercised and continue to exercise both in the conception and design of dictionaries and new lexicographic application tools as well as the emergence of new types of users and forms of consultation. The role of the dictionary must necessarily be related to social development and changes. In the second thematic section, different dictionaries and resources that focus on a multilingual and electronic approach to the linguistic data for their lexicographical treatment and consultation are presented.

Download or read book The Influence of Italian Culture on the Sevillian Golden Age of Painting written by Rafael Japón and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-03-20 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the cultural exchange between Italy and Spain in the seventeenth century, examining Spanish collectors’ predilection for Italian painting and its influence on Spanish painters. Focused on collecting and using a novel methodology, this volume studies how the painters of the Sevillian school, including Francisco Pacheco, Diego Velázquez, Alonso Cano and Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, perceived and were influenced by Italian painting. Through many examples, it is shown how the presence in Andalusia of various works and copies of works by artists such as Michelangelo, Caravaggio and Guido Reni inspired famous compositions by these Spanish artists. In addition, the book delves into the historical, political and social context of this period. The book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, Renaissance studies, and Italian and Spanish history.
Download or read book Journey to the United States of North America Viaje a los Estados Unidos del Norte de Am rica written by Lorenzo de Zavala and published by Arte Publico Press. This book was released on 2005-04-30 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in Paris in 1834, Journey to the United States of America / Viaje a los Estados Unidos del Norte América, by Lorenzo de Zavala, is an elegantly written travel narrative that maps de Zavala's journey through the United States during his exile from Mexico in 1830. Embracing U.S., Texas, and Mexican history; early ethnography; geography; and political philosophy, de Zavala outlines the cultural and political institutions of Jacksonian America and post-independence Mexico. de Zavala's commentary rivals Alex de Tocqueville's classic travel narrative, Democracy in America, which was published in Paris one year after de Zavala's. The narrative presents the first account of U.S. political culture from a Mexican point of view and constructs the first comparative political and historical framework for the relationship between Mexico and the United States. In passionate prose, de Zavala argues for the incorporation of the true democratic ideals of the enlightenment in the fledgling Republic of Texas. He hoped Texas would meld the best of both Mexican and American cultures. de Zavala believed that if his colleagues who helped frame the Texas Constitution understood the complexities of democracy and the ideals that their state could achieve through a liberal, federal government that gave equal rights to all of its constituents: Native Americans, Mexicans, Euro-Americans, and free African Americans. The original text is accompanied by eight pages of maps and historical photos, John-Michael Rivera's critical introduction, and an English translation based upon Wallace Woolsey's deft translation, expanded and revised for the purposes of this volume.
