Book La modernidad superada

Book excerpt: En la actualidad el Movimiento Moderno en arquitectura constituye una condicion permanente y, al mismo tiempo, es ya un fenomeno historico superado. El autor, arquitecto y critico de reconocido prestigio, analiza las insuficiencias de la modernidad en contextos perifericos de la modernidad como es el caso de los paises del Sur de Europa (Italia, Espana y Portugal) o America Latina, donde justo por su condicion alejada de los circuitos internacionales, la superacion de las premisas de lo moderno se ha realizado de un modo mas profundo. En su analisis, Josep Maria Montaner recurre tambien a aportaciones cruciales en el campo del arte, la cultura y el pensamiento de este siglo.

Book Modernidad  tiempo  forma y sentido

Download or read book Modernidad tiempo forma y sentido written by Miguel Ángel Forte and published by EUDEBA. This book was released on 2017-02-06 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Estas reflexiones sobre la condición moderna se asientan sobre la convicción de que sobre el hombre moderno se asientan las Ciencias sociales. El hombre moderno, aquel que a diferencia del héroe trágico, solo cuenta consigo mismo para entender las consecuencias de sus actos; ese hombre que no debe esperar a que al final de su recorrido vital, los dioses le muestren y le hagan comprender que el desenlace trágico ha sido producto de sus propias decisiones. En la primera parte del libro, el autor analiza desde el punto de vista de la sociología, los posibles significados de la idea de la modernidad y en la segunda parte, mediante la aplicación de conceptos sociológicos, plantea y examina un problema bastante intemporal: el poder.

Book Entre lugares de la Modernidad

Download or read book Entre lugares de la Modernidad written by Olalla Castro and published by Siglo XXI de España Editores. This book was released on 2017-04-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Modernidad y la Posmodernidad se han pensado casi siempre en términos antagónicos y el debate en torno a ambas se ha saldado con posiciones de defensa o rechazo que casi nunca han indagado en las posibilidades transformadoras que los espacios intermedios (los entre-lugares de la Modernidad) ofrecían. El presente ensayo aborda la dialéctica Modernidad-Posmodernidad a la luz de un aspecto casi siempre convenientemente olvidado o despreciado: el capitalismo, entendido como el continuum histórico determinante, como el sustrato que los dos paradigmas epistémicos comparten y que funciona como hilo conductor entre ambos. Entre-lugares de la Modernidad. Filosofía, literatura y Terceros Espacios lleva a cabo una crítica, desde una óptica marxista y profundamente anticapitalista, de aquellos aspectos de la Modernidad y la Posmodernidad cuya complicidad con el statu quo del poder es más que evidente y, a la vez, intenta rescatar los elementos más transformadores y subversivos que se gestaron en los márgenes de ambas discursividades, con el objeto de encontrar Terceros Espacios, entre-lugares alternativos desde los que aún sea posible existir y resistir de otra manera, combatiendo la terrible lógica neoliberal que nos asfixia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note this is a 'Palgrave to Order' title (PTO). Stock of this book requires shipment from an overseas supplier.

This book explores a corpus of Spanish-American literary texts from that 'modern' period which dramatize the constitutive dynamics of modernity, in particular the legacy of the French Revolution, the logic of nationalism, the founding of the modern city, and the awkward relationship to both Western and indigenous traditions. Its argument is that one cannot so easily take leave of modernity.

Book The Routledge Research Companion to Early Modern Spanish Women Writers

Download or read book The Routledge Research Companion to Early Modern Spanish Women Writers written by Nieves Baranda and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-08-14 with total page 787 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Spain, the two hundred years that elapsed between the beginning of the early modern period and the final years of the Habsburg Empire saw a profusion of works written by women. Whether secular or religious, noble or middle class, early modern Spanish women actively composed creative works such as poetry, prose narratives, and plays. The Routledge Research Companion to Early Modern Spanish Women Writers covers the broad array of different kinds of writings – literary as well as extra-literary – that these women wrote, taking into consideration their subject positions and the cultural and historical contexts that influenced and were influenced by them. Beyond merely recognizing the individual women authors who had influence in literary, religious, and intellectual circles, this Research Companion investigates their participation in these circles through their writings, as well as the ways in which their texts informed Spain’s cultural production during the early modern period. In order to contextualize women’s writings across the historical and cultural spectrum of early modern Spain, the Research Companion is divided into six sections of general thematic interest: Women’s Worlds; Conventual Spaces; Secular Literature; Women in the Public Sphere; Private Circles; Women Travelers. Each section is subdivided into chapters that focus on specific issues or topics.

  • ISBN : 1441112898
  • Pages : 323 pages

Download or read book Modern Postmodern written by Peter V. Zima and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2010-08-05 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern/Postmodern: Society, Philosophy, Literature offers new definitions of modernism and postmodernism by presenting an original theoretical system of thought that explains the differences between these two key movements. Taking a contrastive approach, Peter V. Zima identifies three key concepts in the relationship between modernism and postmodernism - ambiguity, ambivalence and indifference. Zima defines modernism and postmodernism as problematics, as opposed to aesthetics, stylistics or ideologies. Unlike modernism, which is grounded in an increasing ambivalence towards social norms and values, postmodernity is presented as an era of indifference, i.e. of interchangeable norms, values and perspectives. Taking an historical, interdisciplinary and intercultural approach that engages with Anglo-American and European debates, the book describes the transition from late modernist ambivalence to postmodern indifference in the contexts of philosophy, literature and sociology. This is the ideal guide to the relationship between modernism and postmodernism for students and scholars throughout the humanities.

Book Reconciliation and Resistance in Early Modern Spain

Download or read book Reconciliation and Resistance in Early Modern Spain written by Teresa Tinsley and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-04-21 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers an original perspective on the emergence of early modern Spain from multi-faith Iberia. It uses the eventful career of Hernando de Baeza – an interpreter, intermediary, and author positioned at the intersection of the so-called 'three cultures' of medieval Iberia (Judaism, Islam and Christianity) – as a thread to connect the conflicts, controversies and preoccupations of an age in which Christianising the whole world seemed an attainable dream. Teresa Tinsley draws on a wealth of extensive archival evidence, together with Baeza's own memoir on the downfall of Muslim Granada (translated here for the first time), to demonstrate the widespread resistance to the authoritarian and exclusionary Christianity which would come to be associated with Spain, the Inquisition, and the Catholic Monarchs of the period. In the process, Tinsley provides a nuanced alternative account of the tensions, compromises and competing interests which underlay Spain's emergence as a world power.

Book The Museums of Contemporary Art

Download or read book The Museums of Contemporary Art written by J. Pedro Lorente and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where, how, by whom and for what were the first museums of contemporary art created? These are the key questions addressed by J. Pedro Lorente in this new book. In it he explores the concept and history of museums of contemporary art, and the shifting ways in which they have been imagined and presented. Following an introduction that sets out the historiography and considering questions of terminology, the first part of the book then examines the paradigm of the Musée des Artistes Vivants in Paris and its equivalents in the rest of Europe during the nineteenth century. The second part takes the story forward from 1930 to the present, presenting New York's Museum of Modern Art as a new universal role model that found emulators or 'contramodels' in the rest of the Western world during the twentieth century. An epilogue, reviews recent museum developments in the last decades. Through its adoption of a long-term, worldwide perspective, the book not only provides a narrative of the development of museums of contemporary art, but also sets this into its international perspective. By assessing the extent to which the great museum-capitals - Paris, London and New York in particular - created their own models of museum provision, as well as acknowledging the influence of such models elsewhere, the book uncovers fascinating perspectives on the practice of museum provision, and reveals how present cultural planning initiatives have often been shaped by historical uses.
