Book The Novels of Josefina Aldecoa

Download or read book The Novels of Josefina Aldecoa written by Nuala Kenny and published by Tamesis Books. This book was released on 2012 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive analysis of the novels of prominent contemporary Spanish writer and educator Josefina Aldecoa. Josefina Aldecoa, in her treatment of themes such as a woman's place in society under and after dictatorship, mother-daughter relationships, war, and memory, confirmed her unique role as a contemporary novelist concerned with women's identity in Spain and as a writer of the mid-century generation ('los niños de la guerra'). The first volume of her trilogy, Historia de una maestra, was one of the earliest narratives of historical memory to beproduced in Spain. In this sense, Aldecoa's work anticipated new developments in gender studies, such as the intersection of feminist concerns and cultural memory. This book offers a comprehensive examination of Aldecoa's trajectory as a novelist, from La enredadera to Hermanas, centring on her primary preoccupations of gender and memory, arguing that Aldecoa's fiction offers a new, more complex understanding of women's identity than previously understood. The work combines the two dominating theoretical components of feminism and cultural memory with close textual analysis of Aldecoa's narratives. Her novels highlight the importance of the details of women's daily experiences and struggles throughout the twentieth century, a period of significant socio-political upheaval and change in Spain's history. NUALA KENNY teaches Spanish at the National University of Maynooth, Ireland.

Book Memory  War  and Dictatorship in Recent Spanish Fiction by Women

Download or read book Memory War and Dictatorship in Recent Spanish Fiction by Women written by Sarah Leggott and published by Bucknell University Press. This book was released on 2015-06-10 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Memory, War, and Dictatorship in Recent Spanish Fiction by Women analyzes five novels by women writers that present women’s experiences during and after the Spanish Civil War and Franco dictatorship, highlighting the struggles of female protagonists of different ages to confront an unresolved individual and collective past. It discusses the different narrative models and strategies used in these works and the ways in which they engage with their political and historical context, particularly in the light of campaigns for the so-called recovery of historical memory in Spain (the “memory boom”) and in the broader context of memory and trauma studies. The novels that are examined in this book are Dulce Chacón’s La voz dormida (2002), Rosa Regàs’s Luna lunera (1999), Josefina Aldecoa’s La fuerza del destino (1997), Carme Riera’s La mitad del alma (2005), and Almudena Grandes’s El corazón helado (2007). These works all highlight the multiple nature of memories and histories and demonstrate the complex ways in which the past impacts on the present. This book also considers the extent to which the memories represented in these five novels are inflected by gender and informed by the gender politics of twentieth-century and contemporary Spain.

Book Despierto  Los 5 Elementos

Download or read book Despierto Los 5 Elementos written by Daniel Chaidez and published by Daniel Chaidez. This book was released on 2024-07-08 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¡Despierto! La Auto-libertad se refiere a cinco elementos fundamentales: agua, tierra, fuego, metal y viento como una perspectiva simbólica y no una creencia sobre los elementos mismos. Simplemente representan una representación de las características compartidas de las cinco pautas hacia la libertad. Espiritual, Físico, Accional, Mental e Industrial son los cinco aspectos de la condición mental. Tener Auto-libertad es estar Despertado al hecho de que existen confinamientos físicos y mentales, y la libertad vendrá al comprender los elementos del confinamiento. Un encierro puede ser cualquier cosa que tenga control o limitaciones sobre alguien o algo. La base de los 5 Elementos son perspectivas simbólicas y no una creencia en los Elementos mismos. Simplemente representan una representación de las características compartidas de las cinco pautas para la Auto-libertad. La referencia a la libertad es la liberación teórica de los 5 estados de confinamientos institucionales físicos y mentales que se rigen por las tradiciones, la sociedad, los principios, las emociones y la identificación. Los elementos naturales se clasifican en cinco puntos de vista discutibles, que no pretenden ser el punto de vista de otra persona también, ¡sino que pretenden ser el impulso inspirador para comenzar su propio viaje hacia la verdad y vivir la mejor vida posible! ¡Poderoso! Pensamiento filosófico de la Nueva Era que cubre los temas principales utilizando elementos naturales y conceptos estoicos.

  • Pages : 149 pages

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart es la expresión, no de una personalidad aislada, sino de un ambiente. Es el ejemplo de la expresión natural, la manifestación del espíritu, espontánea y sin el menor rebuscamiento o alteración. No hay problema revolucionario en la obra de Mozart. La rebeldía de Beethoven, el erotismo de Wagner, la religiosidad de Juan Sebastián Bach, la caracterología de Ricardo Strauss, la languidez romántica de Chopin, la filosofía dubitativa de Schumann, contrastan con la fluidez del pensamiento y de la emoción de Mozart, todos ellos llevan el dolor en el parto, el sentimiento propio sufre los más crueles tormentos. Hay en ellos la excelsitud de la creación y la vulgaridad de la frase. Instantes en que los soles presentan la majestuosidad de la idea con significativa y desbordante claridad. ~Adalberto García de Mendoza

This book was released on 2022-10-10 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the cultural articulation of Spanish History (and histories (remembered, meaningful experiences).

Nena’s research and experiences teach her about who she is, where she comes from, and what is important to her, but as her work comes to a close, Nena must decide where she can best be true to her entire self: in Spain with Paco or in Laredo, her home, where her job and family await her return.

Book Transcultural Encounters amongst Women

Download or read book Transcultural Encounters amongst Women written by Gabrielle Carty and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2010-05-11 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally women have found recourse in artistic means to interrogate change and upheaval. This volume explores the experiences of women from Spain, Portugal and Latin America in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries who themselves have crossed cultural boundaries or have described this experience in their literature and film. Areas investigated in this collection of essays include the experience of the exiled or the immigrant and their personal or collective response to displacement and adaptation: the transcultural potential of cyberspace for women, how patterns and styles of the fashion industry have crossed borders, how women have crossed canonical cultural boundaries in search of identity and meaning, how global cultural influences have manifested in Hispanic and Lusophone cultural practices and production by or about women, and the challenging question of whether canine writing can be considered a branch of feminist theory. Common to most of the essays are the central issues of identity, values, conflict and interconnectedness and an analysis of the patterns that result from the transcultural encounter of these aspects.

Book World Literature in Spanish  3 volumes

Download or read book World Literature in Spanish 3 volumes written by Maureen Ihrie and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-10-20 with total page 1509 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Containing roughly 850 entries about Spanish-language literature throughout the world, this expansive work provides coverage of the varied countries, ethnicities, time periods, literary movements, and genres of these writings. Providing a thorough introduction to Spanish-language literature worldwide and across time is a tall order. However, World Literature in Spanish: An Encyclopedia contains roughly 850 entries on both major and minor authors, themes, genres, and topics of Spanish literature from the Middle Ages to the present day, affording an amazingly comprehensive reference collection in a single work. This encyclopedia describes the growing diversity within national borders, the increasing interdependence among nations, and the myriad impacts of Spanish literature across the globe. All countries that produce literature in Spanish in Europe, Africa, the Americas, and Asia are represented, covering both canonical authors and emerging contemporary writers and trends. Underrepresented writings—such as texts by women writers, queer and Afro-Hispanic texts, children's literature, and works on relevant but less studied topics such as sports and nationalism—also appear. While writings throughout the centuries are covered, those of the 20th and 21st centuries receive special consideration.

Book  Re collecting the Past

    Book Details:
  • Author : Melissa A. Stewart
  • Publisher : Cambridge Scholars Publishing
  • Release : 2016-02-22
  • ISBN : 144388930X
  • Pages : 222 pages

Download or read book Re collecting the Past written by Melissa A. Stewart and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-02-22 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection explores the role of memoria histórica in its broadest sense, bringing together studies of narrative, theatre, visual expressions, film, television, and radio that provide a comprehensive overview of contemporary cultural production in Spain in this regard. Employing a wide range of critical approaches to works that examine, comment on, and recreate events and epochs from the civil war to the present, the essays gathered here bring together research and intercultural memory to investigate half a century of cultural production, ranging from “high culture” to more popular productions, such as television series and graphic novels. A testament to the conflation of multiple silencings – be they of the defeated, victims of trauma or women – this project is about hearing the voices of the unheard and recovering their muted past.

Book Transformations of Trauma in Women s Writing

Download or read book Transformations of Trauma in Women s Writing written by Laura Alexander and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2023-01-10 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the ways in which trauma alters women’s identities. While some of the chapters look deeply at individual experiences, many of the contributions look to national traumas and the consequences of political abuses, including colonial subjugation and genocide for women. The book shows that language has a transformative power to change us, to give us a great capacity for inner and outer dialogues and for healing and self-love. As shown here, women have historically employed autobiography and memoir to free themselves and others; rather than seeing the limit of form, they reinvent the parameters to offer a new relationship with language.

Book Visions and Revisions

Download or read book Visions and Revisions written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The desire to see afresh, to see differently, both old and not-so-old texts underlies Visions and Revisions: Women's Narrative in Twentieth-Century Spain. The authors studied, born between 1867 and l966, evince an interest in one or more of the issues that structure and give unity to this book: the construction of the self, concepts of gender and nation, center and margin, and efforts to recover and/or reconstruct the past, both individual and collective. In addition to focusing on questions that are currently of great critical interest, the volume features both Castilian and Catalan authors: Josefina Aldecoa, Carmen de Burgos, Maria Aurèlia Capmany, Dulce Chacón, Lucía Etxebarria, Ana María Moix, Carme Riera, Montserrat Roig, and Mercedes Salisachs. The contributors are distinguished Hispanists based in the United States, Spain, Canada, England, and New Zealand: Christine Arkinstall, Silvia Bermúdez, Maryellen Bieder, José F. Colmeiro, M. Àngels Francés, David K. Herzberger, P. Louise Johnson, Shirley Mangini, Esther Raventós-Pons, and Lisa Vollendorf. Their essays, which employ a variety of critical and theoretical approaches, will be of special interest to students of twentieth-century Peninsular literature, comparative literature, women's studies, and feminist criticism.
