Download or read book Liliana Porter and the Art of Simulation written by Florencia Bazzano-Nelson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Visually appealing, conceptually startling, and intellectually engaging-these phrases aptly describe the art of Liliana Porter. Florencia Bazzano-Nelson's study focuses on the principal theme in the Argentine-born artist's work since the 1970s: her playful but subversive dismantling of the limits that separate everyday reality from the world of illusion and simulacra. Over the years, Porter's own evolving interest in perception lead the author to explore a series of interconnected and timely issues in her artistic production, such as the representative function of art, the structural links between art and language, and the witty re-signification of the art-historical images and mass-produced kitsch figurines she has so often featured in her art. Strongly founded in critical theory, Bazzano-Nelson's approach considers Porter's art as the site of conceptually exciting dialogues with Jorge Luis Borges, Ren?agritte, Michel Foucault, and Jean Baudrillard. Her carefully crafted interdisciplinary analysis not only combines art-historical, literary, and theoretical perspectives but also addresses the artist's work in different media, such as printmaking, conceptual art, photography, and film.
Download or read book J venes Entre el palimpsesto y el hipertexto written by Jesús Martín-Barbero and published by NED Ediciones. This book was released on 2017-10 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesús Martín-Barbero es conocido como el «maestro» de los estudios sobre Juventud y el gran especialista en cultura popular. Además, es considerado uno de los mayores expertos a nivel internacional en temas de comunicación, unos de los principales fundadores de los estudios comunicacionales y el autor de la Teoría de la mediación. Es el autor de referencia internacional para los análisis sobre sujetos juveniles y protagonismo social, palimpsestos de identidad, desafíos de la juventud, educación de los jóvenes, mundo digital y transformaciones de la subjetividad. Sus aportes en los estudios sobre la globalización y en la relación entre medios de comunicación y público le han proyectado como uno de los autores más sugestivos y relevantes de la intelectualidad crítica latinoamericana. En las dos últimas décadas, Jesús Martín-Barbero ha recopilado una serie de estimulantes textos sobre los jóvenes, reunidos ahora en este libro. La mayor parte de ellos giran en torno a dos conceptos centrales que el autor utiliza de manera metafórica y que se reflejan en el título. El palimsesto hace referencia a los antiguos pergaminos y remite a la constante rescritura y reciclaje que las culturas juveniles hacen del pasado. El hipertexto, por el contrario, nos conduce a las modernas ciberculturas y a las novedosas formas de comunicación a través de las cuales los jóvenes imaginan el futuro. Este uso creativo sobre ambos conceptos ha tenido un gran impacto en los estudios culturales y sobre la juventud en el ámbito iberoamericano.
Download or read book The Pragmatics of Humour in Interactive Contexts written by Esther Linares Bernabéu and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2023-05-15 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent years have seen a burgeoning interest in interactional humour from social and pragmatic perspectives, with fascinating results. Released more than a decade later than Norrick and Chiaro (2009) Humor in Interaction, The Pragmatics of Humour in Interactive Contexts gathers some of the most recent work on humour in interaction, with contributions taking (meta)pragmatic approaches to the analysis of various genres of interactive humour in both online and offline settings. This volume illustrates that a range of methodologies and perspectives can be applied to the study of such a complex phenomenon. These include analyses with a cognitive orientation and with multimodal approaches, work based on Relevance Theory, the General Theory of Verbal Humour, and Conversation Analysis, among others. In addition, all the authors represented here are recognised experts on the subject, and in most cases, are leading specialists in their respective fields. The book can be of use not only to scholars who study the linguistics of humour in interaction but also to students who wish to pursue research in the area.

Download or read book Quo Vadis Universidad written by Esteban Bara, Francisco and published by Editorial UOC. This book was released on 2016-12-26 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Durante los últimos años, la educación universitaria vive un proceso de reforma continuo. Cada día que pasa se presenta una nueva metodología pedagógica, una original manera de evaluar, una insólita tecnología que aplicar en el aula, una inédita función del profesorado o una flamante competencia que adquirir. Todo eso está muy bien, especialmente para aquellos que se lamentaban por tener una educación universitaria caduca. Sin embargo, tanta mudanza y restauración ¿no habrán causado una cierta desorientación en torno a los fines y el ethos de dicha educación? La educación universitaria no ha funcionado como debiera si esta consiste en una especie de carrera de obstáculos, que son las asignaturas, para llegar al título, que es la meta. La realidad demuestra, por lo menos a nuestro entender, que año tras año un buen número de estudiantes no se percatan de que son miembros de una comunidad llamada universidad.
Download or read book Breves e intensos art culos sobre relatos cortos de autores brit nicos contempor neos written by José Francisco Fernández Sánchez and published by Universidad Almería. This book was released on 2001 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Con frecuencia el relato corto ha sido un género que la crítica literaria no ha tenido suficientemente en cuenta. En el área de la Literatura Inglesa esta relativa falta de interés ha sido evidente a pesar de que en la segunda mitad del siglo XX excelentes escritores se dedicaron a esta forma narrativa tan singular. La presente colección de artículos quiere servir de introducción a los relatos cortos de algunos de los principales autores británicos contemporáneos que han destacado en este campo. En algunos casos se trata de autores consagrados cuyas novelas han eclipsado unos relatos que merecen ser considerados por separado. En otros casos tenemos a maestros de distintos subgéneros a los que no se les ha prestado la necesaria atención crítica, y por último están los autores jóvenes que bien complementan su trayectoria literaria con historias cortas de gran calidad o bien deciden dedicarse de lleno a esta forma narrativa. En los trabajos de este volumen se invita al lector a iniciarse en la lectura de los relatos de los autores seleccionados así como a profundizar en el estudio de los rasgos más destacados de su producción. La diversidad de enfoques que aquí se ofrece da testimonio de la enorme riqueza del relato corto contemporáneo en las letras inglesas.

Download or read book Global Issues in Contemporary Hispanic Women s Writing written by Estrella Cibreiro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carolyn Tuttle led a group that interviewed 620 women maquila workers in Nogales, Sonora, Mexico. The responses from this representative sample refute many of the hopeful predictions made by scholars before NAFTA and reveal instead that little has improved for maquila workers. The women's stories make it plain that free trade has created more low-paying jobs in sweatshops where workers are exploited. Families of maquila workers live in one- or two-room houses with no running water, no drainage, and no heat. The multinational companies who operate the maquilas consistently break Mexican labor laws by requiring women to work more than nine hours a day, six days a week, without medical benefits, while the minimum wage they pay workers is insufficient to feed their families. These findings will make a crucial contribution to debates over free trade, CAFTA-DR, and the impact of globalization. The book visits continuities and discontinuities among Spanish and Latin American women with regards to the ways in which they approach writing as a political weapon: to express ecological concerns; to denounce social injustice; to re-articulate existing paradigms, such as local versus global, violence versus pacifism, immigrant versus citizen; and to raise consciousness about racist, sexist, and other discriminatory practices. Such use of writing as an instrument of ethical and political exploration is underlined throughout the different articles in the volume as the authors emphasize pluralism, social justice, gender equality, tolerance, and political representation. This book offers readers a broad perspective on the multiple ways in which Hispanic women writers are explicitly exploring the social, political, and, economic realities of our era and integrating global perspectives and gender concerns into their writing, highlighting the unprecedented level of sociopolitical engagement practiced by 20th and 21st century Hispanic women writers.

Download or read book Mapping Hispaniola written by Megan Jeanette Myers and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2019-08-16 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because of their respective histories of colonization and independence, the Spanish-speaking Dominican Republic has developed into the largest economy of the Caribbean, while Haiti, occupying the western side of their shared island of Hispaniola, has become one of the poorest countries in the Americas. While some scholars have pointed to such disparities as definitive of the island’s literature, Megan Jeanette Myers challenges this reduction by considering how certain literary texts confront the dominant and, at times, exaggerated anti-Haitian Dominican ideology. Myers examines the antagonistic portrayal of the two nations—from the anti-Haitian rhetoric of the intellectual elites of Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo’s rule to the writings of Julia Alvarez, Junot Díaz, and others of the Haitian diaspora—endeavoring to reposition Haiti on the literary map of the Dominican Republic and beyond. Focusing on representations of the Haitian-Dominican dynamic that veer from the dominant history, Mapping Hispaniola disrupts the "magnification" and repetition of a Dominican anti-Haitian narrative.

This book was released on 2024-10-01 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 2 of the most up-to-date and comprehensive description of the Spanish language’s phonetic and phonological system Though there has been considerable research on Spanish phonetics and phonology, until now, there has been no in-depth and complete descriptive reference work. Fonética y fonología descriptivas de la lengua española, volumes 1 and 2, are a comprehensive reference, written in Spanish, describing the phonetics and phonology of Spanish. Edited by Juana Gil and Joaquim Llisterri and including contributions from an international group of scholars, these books provide a comprehensive overview for understanding topics across Spanish phonetics and phonology, making clear what further research is needed. Together, these volumes offer a survey of Spanish descriptive phonetics and phonology. Volume 2 focuses on the suprasegmental properties on the suprasegmental properties of speech such as word stress, intonation, speaking rate, pauses and rhythm. The topics are examined from different angles: their phonetic description, their phonological analysis, their variation, and also their function in speech. Intonation, in particular, is also studied from the point of view of pragmatics, discourse and conversation analysis. With state-of-the-art information on all topics related to the sounds of Spanish, Fonética y fonología descriptivas de la lengua española will be a valuable resource for researchers, students, and scholars of Spanish linguistics who wish to deepen their understanding of the phonetic and phonological characteristics of all the varieties of the Spanish language.

Download or read book Reescrituras written by Luz Rodríguez Carranza and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2004 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este volumen reúne una serie de ensayos cuyo origen fue un coloquio doble - Reescrituras I y II - organizado en Leiden en mayo 2001 por el Departamento de Lenguas y Culturas de América Latina, la Cátedra de Estudios Brasileños y la Netherlands Graduate School for Literary Studies (OSL), con el apoyo de la Universidad de Aarhus y del University College London. En Imagen y Memoria (Reescrituras I) las aproximaciones, cada una a su modo, giran en torno a un aspecto del tema propuesto: desde el tratamiento de varios niveles de intertextualidad hasta la cuestión compleja de la presencia simultánea de múltiples memorias en la literatura. Muchos trabajos problematizan el rescate de las voces del pasado, oscurecidas y marginalizadas, que dialogan con el presente o se mezclan con él creando situaciones anacrónicas que al fin y al cabo terminan por eliminar las barreras entre lo erudito y lo popular, lo moderno y lo tradicional, lo propio y lo ajeno. En Jorge Luis Borges y la cultura popular (Reescrituras II) el hilo conductor es la propuesta inicial del coloquio: la escritura de Jorge Luis Borges como mito, como estereotipo de las Reescrituras de lo popular. La hipótesis fue la del estudiante de "El acercamiento a Almotásim" "En algún punto de la tierra hay un hombre de quien procede esa claridad, en algún punto de la tierra está el hombre que es igual a esa claridad". El volumen se cierra con un ensayo en el cual la autora asume en primera persona los desgarramientos y las reescrituras de la modernidad.
