Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Un experto en psicología de la memoria nos adentra en los misterios de esta fascinante capacidad humana. La memoria y la vida es una obra clave para entender la perfecta simbiosis que se trenza entre los recuerdos y las experiencias vitales. Al fin y al cabo, no somos sino la historia que vamos construyendo mientras nos debatimos entre la fugacidadtemporal y el trabajo del cerebro por neutralizarla. La vida es una narración que desarrollamos cada día en el territorio de la memoria, en esa factoría personal de los recuerdos gracias a la cual somos lo que somos, sabemos quiénes somos y los días adquieren el sentido de la continuidad. Lo que hace es algo tan fascinante como detener el tiempo y dar paso a lo que realmente acaba alumbrando a un individuo con una identidad y una biografía. Somos lo que recordamos, pero ¿sabemos por qué la memoria funciona como funciona? Caprichosa, a veces. Incomprensible, otras. En este libro, tan riguroso como ameno, el catedrático de Psicología de la Memoria José María Ruiz Vargas desentraña con lucidez algunos interrogantes sobre los recuerdos. ¿Son fiables? ¿Se ajustan al pasado o son una invención? ¿Por qué no podemos rescatar ninguno de nuestros primeros años? ¿Por qué se olvidan tantas cosas y, sin embargo, no podemos sacarnos de la cabeza lo que más nos duele? ¿Por qué regresan a muestra mente algunos hechos vividos? ¿Cómo reacciona el cerebro frente al envejecimiento? ¿Por qué se acelera el tiempo con la edad?

Download or read book Somos nuestra memoria written by Iván Izquierdo and published by Libros del Zorzal. This book was released on 2021 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La memoria tiene sus matices, sus vaivenes, sus luces y sombras. En esa intermitencia –entre olvidos y recuerdos– conformamos nuestra identidad individual, social e histórica, porque después de todo, somos nuestra memoria. Esa idea subyace a la constelación de textos presentes en este libro, uniendo diferentes temas como un hilo conductor, sin prescindir de cierta renovación permanente que instala al lector en un lugar activo: el lugar de quien piensa y establece relaciones. Con un lenguaje sencillo y agradable, y al mismo tiempo con lucidez y agudeza, Iván Izquierdo nos acerca sus reflexiones con una idea clara: “No espero, y en verdad no deseo, desencadenar el mimetismo de que alguien decida pensar igual que yo”, pero “habrá sin duda numerosos puntos de contacto entre lo que yo digo aquí y lo que piensa cada uno de los lectores. A esos puntos me dirijo, y a cada uno de ellos lo celebro”. Se celebra, entonces, la diversidad y la comunión de pensamiento. Un pensamiento que incluye cuestiones cotidianas, aspectos propios de la ciencia, temas existenciales, y material relativo a la política, la historia o la actividad literaria. Un pensamiento sensible, en definitiva, acerca de lo que recordamos, lo que olvidamos, lo que somos y lo que pretendemos ser.

Download or read book Memoria Del Silencio written by Uva de Aragón and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fiction. Latino/Latina Studies. Women's Studies. Translated from the Spanish by Jeffrey C. Barnett. Edited by Paula Sanmartin and Maria di Franscesco. Second place winner, 2016 International Latino Book Award for Best Novel, Historical Fiction—Bilingual or Spanish. A metaphor of a nation and its Diaspora, this bilingual edition of THE MEMORY OF SILENCE/MEMORIA DEL SILENCIO transcends the Cuban reality and becomes a story of universal breadth, a triumph of love and family over distance and politics. In 1959, at the age of 18, the twin sisters Lauri and Menchu share a common past, but their lives abruptly take on seemingly irreconcilable differences as Lauri leaves with her groom for Miami and Menchu remains in Havana. The text, then, becomes a series of interpolated chronicles, as each alternating chapter recounts one sister's life and then the other until finally in the present, now reunited, the sisters must confront the pain of the past and as well as the promise of the future. The novel's theme of reconciliation presents a refreshing message, and a timely one.

Book excerpt: The autobiography of Cuba's finest poet, whose condemnation by the Castro regime became a cause celebre. "Intellectuals alienated from the Castro government who have told their stories tend to sound spiteful and illiberal, like Cabrera Infante; Padilla takes pains to do better. His style is clear, sometimes witty, often bitter, persevering but not burdensome, and evincing an occasional affinity with both Orwell and Hemingway." - Publishers Weekly

Download or read book ELADATL written by Sesshu Foster and published by City Lights Books. This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A breathtaking free fall into the long-buried (and fictional) history of a utopian era in American lighter-than-air travel, as told by its death-defying, aero-acrobatic heroes. "Foster and Romo's 'real fake dream' of the future-past history of the East Los Angeles Dirigible Air Transport Lines is a superb and loving phantasmagoria that gobbles up real histories for breakfast and spits out the seeds."—Jonathan Lethem, author of Motherless Brooklyn In the early years of the twentieth-century, the use of airships known as dirigibles—some as large as one thousand feet long—was being promulgated in Southern California by a semi-clandestine lighter-than-air movement. Groups like the East LA Balloon Club and the Bessie Coleman Aero Club were hard at work to revolutionize travel, with an aim to literally lift oppressed people out of racism and poverty. ELADATL tells the story of this little-known period of American air travel in a series of overlapping narratives told by key figures, accompanied by a number of historic photographs and recently discovered artifacts, with appendices provided to fill in the missing links. The story of the rise and fall of this ill-fated airship movement investigates its long-buried history, replete with heroes, villains, and moments of astonishing derring-do and terrifying disaster. Written and presented as an “actual history of a fictional company,” this surrealist, experimental novel is a tour de force of politicized fantastic fiction, a work of hybrid art-making distilled into a truly original literary form. Developed over a ten-year period of collaborations, community interventions, and staged performances, ELADATL is a furiously hilarious send-up of academic histories, mainstream narratives, and any traditional notions of the time-space continuum. "Poet Foster (Atomik Aztex) and artist Romo deliver a maddeningly accomplished inquiry into the secret history of East Los Angeles. . . . This is as much fun to read as it must have been to make."—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review "One of the wildest, most creative and deeply-cutting novels I’ve read in years, a genuine piece of newness in both content and form. To wade through this surreal narrative archeology is to experience, in the finest sense, literature as fever dream."—Omar El Akkad, author of American War: A Novel "Visionary, hilarious, anarchic, this assemblage of breakneck dialog, blisteringly brilliant film criticism, bureaucratic documents, revolutionary chatter, mass transit, and fake dreams of the secret police, is the counterfactual novel to beat all counterfactual novels."—Mark Doten, author of Trump Sky Alpha "Hilarious and prophetic and profound, truer than truth, and realer than all realities currently available for purchase, ELADATL is strong medicine against the erasures of history, a mega-vitamin for struggles yet to come. This book combats despair."—Ben Ehrenreich, author of Desert Notebooks: A Road Map for the End of Time

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sumérgete en la ciencia de la memoria junto con las hermanas Hilde e Ylva. Entre la vida marina y el cerebro humano hay un gran trecho, pero existen algunas similitudes entre los caballitos de mar y el hipocampo. Así como los caballitos de mar machos incuban los huevos en la barriga hasta que las crías puedan salir al mar y valerse por sí mismas, el hipocampo es una especie de incubadora de recuerdos: cuida de ellos y los retiene hasta que sean lo suficientemente grandes y fuertes para poder arreglárselas solos. ¿Cómo se almacenan los recuerdos? ¿Qué nos hace recordar? ¿Por qué olvidamos? Entretenido y accesible, El libro de la memoria nos ofrece una sorprendente mirada al mundo de los recuerdos.

Download or read book Basquiat isms written by Jean-Michel Basquiat and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-06-04 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of essential quotations and other writings from artist and icon Jean-Michel Basquiat One of the most important artists of the late twentieth century, Jean-Michel Basquiat explored the interplay of words and images throughout his career as a celebrated painter with an instantly recognizable style. In his paintings, notebooks, and interviews, he showed himself to be a powerful and creative writer and speaker as well as image-maker. Basquiat-isms is a collection of essential quotations from this godfather of urban culture. In these brief, compelling, and memorable selections, taken from his interviews as well as his visual and written works, Basquiat writes and speaks about culture, his artistic persona, the art world, artistic influence, race, urban life, and many other subjects. Concise, direct, forceful, poetic, and enigmatic, Basquiat’s words, like his art, continue to resonate. Select quotations from the book: "I cross out words so you will see them more; the fact that they are obscured makes you want to read them." "I think there are a lot of people that are neglected in art, I don’t know if it’s because of who made the paintings or what, but, um . . . black people are never really portrayed realistically or I mean not even portrayed in modern art." "Since I was 17, I thought I might be a star." "The more I paint the more I like everything." "I think I make art for myself, but ultimately I think I make it for the world."

Download or read book Recollections of Things to Come written by Elena Garro and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-07-05 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This remarkable first novel depicts life in the small Mexican town of Ixtepec during the grim days of the Revolution. The town tells its own story against a variegated background of political change, religious persecution, and social unrest. Elena Garro, who has also won a high reputation as a playwright, is a masterly storyteller. Although her plot is dramatically intense and suspenseful, the novel does not depend for its effectiveness on narrative continuity. It is a book of episodes, one that leaves the reader with a series of vivid impressions. The colors are bright, the smells pungent, the many characters clearly drawn in a few bold strokes. Octavio Paz, the distinguished poet and critic, has written that it "is truly an extraordinnary work, one of the most perfect creations in contemporary Latin American literature."

Download or read book Memory Wall written by Anthony Doerr and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-07-13 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the wise and beautiful second collection from the acclaimed, Pulitzer Prize-winning #1 New York Times bestselling author of All the Light We Cannot See, and Cloud Cuckoo Land, "Doerr writes about the big questions, the imponderables, the major metaphysical dreads, and he does it fearlessly" (The New York Times Book Review). Set on four continents, Anthony Doerr's new stories are about memory, the source of meaning and coherence in our lives, the fragile thread that connects us to ourselves and to others. Every hour, says Doerr, all over the globe, an infinite number of memories disappear. Yet at the same time children, surveying territory that is entirely new to them, push back the darkness, form fresh memories, and remake the world. In the luminous and beautiful title story, a young boy in South Africa comes to possess an old woman's secret, a piece of the past with the power to redeem a life. In "The River Nemunas," a teenage orphan moves from Kansas to Lithuania to live with her grandfather, and discovers a world in which myth becomes real. "Village 113," winner of an O'Henry Prize, is about the building of the Three Gorges Dam and the seed keeper who guards the history of a village soon to be submerged. And in "Afterworld," the radiant, cathartic final story, a woman who escaped the Holocaust is haunted by visions of her childhood friends in Germany, yet finds solace in the tender ministrations of her grandson. Every story in Memory Wall is a reminder of the grandeur of life--of the mysterious beauty of seeds, of fossils, of sturgeon, of clouds, of radios, of leaves, of the breathtaking fortune of living in this universe. Doerr's language, his witness, his imagination, and his humanity are unparalleled in fiction today.
