Download or read book Poes As Eleg A Y Narraci N written by Gersam Tüchler Noguera and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-07 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gersam Tüchler Noguera, mi padre, fue un hombre muy diferente a todos. Y diría que nadie lo comprendía, no estaba en su grupo. Todo él, la forma de vestir, roce social, intelectual, y su religión judía, no era parte del grupo donde él residía. Nunca le interesó el dinero, no tomaba licor ni cerveza, ni siquiera vino como los europeos. Prefería estar solo leyendo, escribiendo, escuchando música clásica: Chopin, Kachaturian, Rachmaninoff, Beethoven, ect.ect. No sabía tocar piano, pero tenía un piano Wurlizter donde mi hermano, hermana y yo, aprendimos. Tenía poco amigos, solo a dos que hablaban de religión. No visita a nadie, pero él era muy visitado por personas interesadas en visitar su museo, biblioteca, discoteca y anticuario. La señora Clementina Rivas reportera del Diario La Prensa cuenta en su reporte que mi padre poseía alrededor de 600 objetos antiguos, incluyendo adornos Judíos. Unos colegas como el Dr. Zuñiga lo visitaban para consultarle sobre asuntos jurídicos. La gente de Managua decían que él era una excéntrico, raro, libre pensador, poeta, loco, y lo llamaban "El Doctor". No pudo terminar sus estudios universitarios por razones de política, Usaba un sello con el título de Dr. Inf. Gersam Tüchler Noguera. No tenía amigos, pero era muy visitado por personas para conocer su museo personal, así como su discoteca clásica, biblioteca con su selección de libros raros y revistas de toda clase; antiguos objetos judíos, sus candelabros de cristal de roca colgados del techo. Tenía una lava manos de mármol blanco en su mesa de madera Palo de Rosa. También un juego de lava manos y pichel de electroplata. Dedicado a la fotografía usando una cámara de 3 dimensiones (3 D), la única en Centro América. Según Clementina Rivas F. reportera del periódico La Prensa de Managua, mi padre vivía en una "manera envidiable con sus anticuario para olvidad su soledad". Pero después de un terremoto, y dos guerras civiles todo esto fue robado y destruido. Mi hermano Edgar, mi hermana Nena yo, nos sentimos muy orgulloso ser descendiente de él, y agradecemos todo la vida de sus enseñanzas, y consejos. A pesar de que tenía a veces mal carácter, reconocemos que a veces quizás no comprendimos sus buenas intenciones, pero nunca nos resentimos, lo amamos pues no olvidamos, que después de todo fue nuestro padre (q.e.p.d.)

Book The Oxford Handbook of Latino Studies

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Latino Studies written by Ilan Stavans and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "At the beginning of the third decade of the twenty-first century, the Latino minority, the nation's biggest and fastest growing, is at a crossroads. Is assimilation taking place in ways comparable to previous immigrant groups? Are the links to the original countries of origin being redefined in an age of contested globalism? How are Latinos changing America and how is America chanting Latinos? The growth of Latino Studies as a discipline, which seeks to understand these questions and others, is one of the most exciting phenomena in the humanities in the last few decades. This collection of twenty-three essays and a conversation by leading and emerging scholars assesses the current state of the discipline, and contains chapters on the Chicano Movement, gender and race relations, changes in demographics, the tension between rural and urban communities, immigration, the legacy of colonialism, language identity and the controversy surrounding Spanglish, and meditations on popular culture and the lasting power of literature"--

Book The Aesthetic Border

Download or read book The Aesthetic Border written by Brantley Nicholson and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2022-05-22 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking study examines how modern Colombian literature—from Gabriel García Márquez to Juan Gabriel Vásquez—reflects one of the world’s most tumultuous entrances into globalization. While these literary icons, one canonical, the other emergent, bookend Colombia’s fall and rise on the world stage, the period between the two was inordinately violent, spanning the Colombian urban novel’s evolution into narco-literature. Marking Colombia’s cultural and literary manifestations as threefold, this book explores García Márquez’s retreat to a rural romanticism that paradoxically made him a global literary icon; the country’s violent end to the twentieth century when its largest economic export was narcotics; and the contemporary period in which a new major author has emerged to create a “literature of national reconstitution.” Harkening back to the Regeneration movement and extending through the early twenty-first century, this book analyzes the cultural implications of Colombia’s relationship to the wider world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays explores two traditions of interpreting and manipulating nature in the early-modern and nineteenth-century Iberian world: one instrumental and imperial, the other patriotic and national. Imperial representations laid the ground for the epistemological transformations of the so-called Scientific Revolutions. The patriotic narratives lie at the core of the first modern representations of the racialized body, Humboldtian theories of biodistribution, and views of the landscape as a historical text representing different layers of historical memory.

Book Sor Juana In  s de la Cruz and the Gender Politics of Knowledge in Colonial Mexico

Download or read book Sor Juana In s de la Cruz and the Gender Politics of Knowledge in Colonial Mexico written by Stephanie Kirk and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-06-23 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each of the book's five chapters evokes a colonial Mexican cultural and intellectual sphere: the library, anatomy and medicine, spirituality, classical learning, and publishing and printing. Using an array of literary texts and historical documents and alongside secondary historical and critical materials, the author Stephanie Kirk demonstrates how Sor Juana used her poetry and other works to inscribe herself within the discourses associated with these cultural institutions and discursive spheres and thus challenge the male exclusivity of their precepts and precincts. Kirk illustrates how Sor Juana subverted the masculine character of erudition, writing herself into an all-male community of scholars. From there, Sor Juana clearly questions the gender politics at play in her exclusion, and undermines what seems to be the inextricable link previously forged between masculinity and institutional knowledge. Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz and the Gender Politics of Knowledge in Colonial Mexico opens up new readings of her texts through the lens of cultural and intellectual history and material culture in order to shed light on the production of knowledge in the seventeenth-century colonial Mexican society of which she was both a product and an anomaly.

Book Devotional Music in the Iberian World  1450 1800

Download or read book Devotional Music in the Iberian World 1450 1800 written by Tess Knighton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the fifteenth century to the beginning of the nineteenth century, devotional music played a fundamental role in the Iberian world. Songs in the vernacular, usually referred to by the generic name of 'villancico', but including forms as varied as madrigals, ensaladas, tonos, cantatas or even oratorios, were regularly performed at many religious feasts in major churches, royal and private chapels, convents and in monasteries. These compositions appear to have progressively fulfilled or supplemented the role occupied by the Latin motet in other countries and, as they were often composed anew for each celebration, the surviving sources vastly outnumber those of Latin compositions; they can be counted in tens of thousands. The close relationship with secular genres, both musical, literary and performative, turned these compositions into a major vehicle for dissemination of vernacular styles throughout the Iberian world. This model of musical production was also cultivated in Portugal and rapidly exported to the Spanish and Portuguese colonies in America and Asia. In many cases, the villancico repertory represents the oldest surviving source of music produced in these regions, thus affording it a primary role in the construction of national identities. The sixteen essays in this volume explore the development of devotional music in the Iberian world in this period, providing the first broad-based survey of this important genre.

Book The Virgin of Guadalupe and the Conversos

Download or read book The Virgin of Guadalupe and the Conversos written by Marie-Theresa Hernández and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hidden lives, hidden history, and hidden manuscripts. In The Virgin of Guadalupe and the Conversos, Marie-Theresa Hernández unmasks the secret lives of conversos and judaizantes and their likely influence on the Catholic Church in the New World. The terms converso and judaizante are often used for descendants of Spanish Jews (the Sephardi, or Sefarditas as they are sometimes called), who converted under duress to Christianity in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. There are few, if any, archival documents that prove the existence of judaizantes after the Spanish expulsion of the Jews in 1492 and the Portuguese expulsion in 1497, as it is unlikely that a secret Jew in sixteenth-century Spain would have documented his allegiance to the Law of Moses, thereby providing evidence for the Inquisition. On a Da Vinci Code – style quest, Hernández persisted in hunting for a trove of forgotten manuscripts at the New York Public Library. These documents, once unearthed, describe the Jewish/Christian religious beliefs of an early nineteenth-century Catholic priest in Mexico City, focusing on the relationship between the Virgin of Guadalupe and Judaism. With this discovery in hand, the author traces the cult of Guadalupe backwards to its fourteenth-century Spanish origins. The trail from that point forward can then be followed to its interface with early modern conversos and their descendants at the highest levels of the Church and the monarchy in Spain and Colonial Mexico. She describes key players who were somehow immune to the dangers of the Inquisition and who were allowed the freedom to display, albeit in a camouflaged manner, vestiges of their family's Jewish identity. By exploring the narratives produced by these individuals, Hernández reveals the existence of those conversos and judaizantes who did not return to the “covenantal bond of rabbinic law,” who did not publicly identify themselves as Jews, and who continued to exhibit in their influential writings a covert allegiance and longing for a Jewish past. This is a spellbinding and controversial story that offers a fresh perspective on the origins and history of conversos.
