Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La literatura sofisticada o reconstructivista se caracteriza por potenciar cuatro características humanas absolutamente decisivas en la imaginación personal y social: la psicología en todas sus dimensiones, el animismo de seres inertes ―así como también de animales y entidades naturales y metafísicas―, la visión sobrenatural de todas las cosas y la reconstrucción o elaboración sofisticadamente racional de referentes irracionales. Digamos que la literatura sofisticada o reconstructivista es una literatura de un irracionalismo cuyo diseño ―cuya ingeniosa ingeniería― es minuciosa y cuidadosamente racional. Es una literatura especialmente seductora. Y tramposa. Psicología, animismo, sobrenaturalismo y sofisticada reconstrucción de apariencias irracionales son los elementos constitutivos de esta genealogía literaria, propia de sociedades humanas singularmente astutas y seductoras, capaces de sortear agudas e inquisitivas formas de censura y represión. Es una literatura que oculta y disimula su intención crítica e incisiva, y que puede acoger lo irracional como un hecho completamente natural y ordinario, pero siempre con desenlaces y objetivos latebrosos. Es la literatura de Cervantes en El coloquio de los perros, de El asno de oro de Apuleyo, de los Sueños de Quevedo y del culteranismo gongorino... Es la literatura que los románticos descubrieron leyendo ―sin confesarlo― el Barroco hispano, para recitarlo de nuevo en términos propios de un Kitsch fantástico y maravilloso, para adolescentes lectores de Edgar Allan Poe. Es el arte de las Vanguardias hispanas, el Creacionismo de Huidobro, y también la poesía de Rilke y el surrealismo de Aleixandre, los versos de Lorca o simplemente el relato de don Quijote en el interior de la Cueva de Montesinos. La literatura sofisticada o reconstructivista remite al cuarto y último estadio de la genealogía de la literatura, tal como se expone en la Crítica de la razón literaria (vol. 4, parte III, tomo 3). Los tres estadios anteriores corresponden a las literaturas primitiva o dogmática, crítica o indicativa y programática o imperativa, a cuya exposición e interpretación se han dedican los tres volúmenes de esta serie (núms. 10, 11 y 12).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La literatura programática o imperativa es la genealogía literaria preferida por los totalitarismos. Es la literatura del futuro más inmediato, y reinará ―paradójicamente promovida por la democracia posmoderna― desde la segunda mitad del siglo XXI en un mundo globalizado por la Anglosfera. Es una «literatura fácil», en la que todo tipo de autores mediocres y colaboracionistas ad hoc pueden sentirse muy cómodos, y prematuramente promocionados. Es la literatura preferida por los intelectuales y por los filósofos. Y ―como hemos dicho― por los totalitarismos. Es la literatura más menospreciada y menos respetada por los escritores inteligentes, sus principales enemigos. Ideología, pseudociencia, teología y tecnología propagandística son los saberes y recursos esenciales sobre los que se construye la literatura programática o imperativa, la cual tiene como objetivo neutralizar la desmitificación de la realidad, el uso crítico de la razón y la libertad de las ciencias. De muchos modos, la literatura programática o imperativa, que responde a un programa político y a un imperativo ideológico, religioso o propagandístico, se opone siempre a una literatura crítica o indicativa. Frente a esta última, la literatura programática o imperativa tiene su semilla en la sofística y su razón de ser en la destrucción de todo pensamiento crítico alternativo al propio. Con frecuencia, es una literatura fundamentalista. Las literaturas que obedecen a programas e imperativos políticos e ideológicos son fuertemente propagandísticas, se orientan hacia la gestión de la mentira y la configuración de un tercer mundo semántico. Es una literatura próxima al Kitsch, y a la instauración de modelos de arte inalterables y ortodoxos, a fin de perpetuar un determinado tipo de sociedad cerrada. Habitualmente, postulan utopías y afirman desenlaces idealistas, pero siempre a partir de situaciones reales, de premisas tangibles, que se van transformando narrativa o teatralmente en idealismos absolutos, y completamente inoperantes. Pero «poéticamente» muy seductores. Las literaturas programáticas o imperativas construyen mundos humanamente inhabitables. Téngase en cuenta que este tipo de literatura es la única que Platón admite en su idealista, utópica y patibularia República. Es la literatura que fascina a filósofos, sacerdotes y posmodernos. La literatura programática o imperativa remite al tercer estadio o etapa de la genealogía de la literatura, tal como se expone en la Crítica de la razón literaria (vol. 4, parte III, tomo 3). El primer y segundo estadios corresponden respectivamente a la literatura primitiva o dogmática (vol. 10) y a la literatura crítica o indicativa (vol. 11), y el último estadio remite a la literatura sofisticada o reconstructivista (vol. 13). No lo olvides: si hay una literatura que niega la libertad, esa literatura es la programática o imperativa. Si te gusta, tuya será la segunda mitad del siglo XXI.

Download or read book Football and Fascism written by Simon Martin and published by Berg Publishers. This book was released on 2004-09-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Institutionalized as a fascist game in Mussolinis Italy, football was exploited domestically in an attempt to develop a sense of Italian identity and internationally as a diplomatic tool to improve Italys standing in the global arena. The 1930s were the zenith of achievement for Italian football. Italy hosted and won the 1934 World Cup tournament and retained the trophy in 1938 in France. In the 1936 Berlin Olympics, Italy won the soccer tournament with a team of university students, affirming the nations international football supremacy. At club level, calcio was reorganized into a single, national league in 1929namely, Serie Aafter which the first Italian club teams emerged to dominate European competition and threaten previous British notions of supremacy.In this time, Italian Fascism fully exploited the opportunities football provided to shape public opinion, penetrate daily life, and reinforce conformity. By politicizing the game, Fascism also sought to enhance the regimes international prestige and inculcate nationalist values. The author argues that the regimes attempt to use sport to formulate identity actually forced it to recognize existing tensions within society, thereby paradoxically permitting the existence of diversity and individuality.The book serves as a cultural history of Fascism in Italy viewed through the lens of football.
Download or read book Football and the Boundaries of History written by Brenda Elsey and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-16 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this volume use football to create a dialogue between history and other disciplines, including art criticism, philosophy, and political science. The study of football provides fertile ground for interdisciplinary initiatives and this volume explores the disciplinary boundaries that are shifting “beneath our feet.” Traditional disciplines in the humanities and social sciences have come to embrace diverse research methodologies and the increased scholarly attention to football over the past decade reflects both the startling popularity of the sport and the trends in historical scholarship that have been termed the “cultural,” “interpretive,” or “linguistic” turns. This volume includes work on gender, sexuality, and ethnicity, which have challenged disciplinary fault-lines.
Download or read book Training the Body for China written by Susan Brownell and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1995-08 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Competing in the 1986 National College Games of the People's Republic of China, Susan Brownell earned both a gold medal in the heptathlon and fame throughout China as "the American girl who won glory for Beijing University." Now an anthropologist, Brownell draws on her direct experience of Chinese athletics in this fascinating look at the culture of sports and the body in China. Training the Body for China is the first book on Chinese sports based on extended fieldwork by a Westerner. Brownell introduces the notion of "body culture" to analyze Olympic sports as one element in a whole set of Chinese body practices: the "old people's disco dancing" craze, the new popularity of bodybuilding (following reluctant official acceptance of the bikini), mass calisthenics, martial arts, military discipline, and more. Translating official and dissident materials into English for the first time and drawing on performance theory and histories of the body, Brownell uses the culture of the body as a focal point to explore the tensions between local and global organizations, the traditional and the modern, men and women. Her intimate knowledge of Chinese social and cultural life and her wide range of historic examples make Training the Body for China a unique illustration of how gender, the body, and the nation are interlinked in Chinese culture.

Download or read book Masculinities written by Eduardo P. Archetti and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-23 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The complex relationship between nationalism and masculinity has been explored both historically and sociologically with one consistent conclusion: male concepts of courage and virility are at the core of nationalism. In this ground-breaking book, the author questions this assumption and advances the debate through an empirical analysis of masculinity in the revealing contexts of same-sex (football and polo) and cross-sex (tango) relations. Because of its rich history, Argentina provides the ideal setting in which to study the intersection of masculine and national constructs: hybridization, creolization and a culture of performance have all informed both gender and national identities. Further, the author argues that, counter to claims made by globalization theorists, the importance of performance to Argentinian men and women has a long history and has powerfully shaped the national psyche. But this book takes the analysis far beyond national boundaries to address general arguments in anthropology which are not culture-specific, and the discussion poses important comparative questions and addresses central theoretical issues, from the interplay of morality and ritual, to a comparison between the popular and the aristocratic, to the importance of ‘othering' in national constructions - particularly those relating to sport. This book represents a major contribution, not only to anthropology, but to the study of gender, nationalism and culture in its broadest sense.
Download or read book Vita coaetanea A Contemporary Life Vida coet nea Vida coet nia written by Ramon Llull and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2017-04-20 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Vita coaetanea (A Contemporary Life) is an autobiographical account of Ramon Llull’s life dictated by himself to a friend in 1311 when he was seventy-nine years old. In it Llull reviews his works in the context of a life dedicated to God and motivated by the desire to disseminate the message of the Christian faith among the infidels. Llull, the self-labeled troubadour of books, wrote this account in part as a self-justification of his life and work, in part as self-consolation for his unending toils and travails. It is very likely that he also had in mind the Council of Vienne (1311) which he was about to attend and where he submitted petitions dealing with the establishment of adequate places to study languages for the preaching of the Gospel to every creature and the founding of a Christian military religious order that waged permanent war against the Saracens until the Holy Land is reconquered. Llull wanted to frame these petitions within a well thought-out justificatory account of his life and works that exudes passion, commitment and love for his fellow man. This volume contains the Latin original, as well as translations into Catalan, Spanish, and English.
