Latin American theater is rooted in the rich historical traditions of both the indigenous cultures of the region and those of Spain. In the second half of the 20th century, immigration to Latin America from Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia also proved influential, and theater became a means of social protest. The military and political dictatorships of the late 20th century often censored plays and persecuted playwrights.

Download or read book P lvora sangre y sexo written by Assen Kokalov and published by IAP. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book examines the links between literature and film in Latin America by using queer theory and a series of recent cultural productions whose arguments destabilize traditional gender roles and heteronormative masculinity. For many years, the connections between a literary text and its film adaptation have been considered only from the point of view of the latter’s fidelity to the written work, which many scholars imagined to be the original that filmmakers needed to respect. Within the last two decades, however, the idea of adaptation fidelity has been challenged by a number of critics who refute the existence of an original text and promote the notion of an ambiguous and complex relationship between a literary work and its film adaptation. Based on such developments and with the help of queer theory, this book questions and revises several crucial theoretical approximations that analyze the relations between the two art forms in an attempt to overcome the limitations of fidelity discourse. This is the first book-length study that seeks to examine, with the appropriate detail, the connections between film and literature in Latin America through the lenses of queer theory and by focusing on the representations of numerous practices that do not fit within the general framework of heteronormative sexuality.

Book excerpt: Si. Juguemos. Juguemos como jugamos los adultos, no como juegan los ninos. Juguemos a este juego sucio que jugamos diariamente en nuestros encuentros. Pero que no sea un juego donde nos ocultemos. Este sera un juego en el bosque social en que nos movemos naturalmente donde la ambiguedad es la caracteristica basica. Esta ambiguedad senalada por el "todo vale." Nunca sabremos si este juego es verdadero o es un camino metaforico para llegar a una verdad que nunca aparecera. Nunca sabremos si esta obra es una comedia o una tragedia, porque las caracteristicas de una y de otra se iran alternando. Nunca sabremos si la comunicacion esta presente, si los personajes se aman, se odian, se aceptan o se rechazan. Como estaremos seguros de que la accion no surge de la memoria de un unico personaje? Como estaremos seguros de que los tiempos no se superponen?

Download or read book Castizo written by David G. Rasmussen and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 1999-06-28 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beneficio Duran is like the wild lava capped mesa where he lived all but the last two years of his eighty-three. They are both remnants of the past. Black Mesa survived eons of erosion by its had basaltic cap--Beneficio survived by living with the pride and rough wisdom of los Castizos, his ancestors. On the mesa, he had been isolated from pressures and forces that were changing New Mexico and the other Hispanics living on and off the land grants. Beneficio discovered his wife, Maria, in the village of Cebolleta at the base of Black Mesa. Maria bore him Philip then died while trying to deliver a girl child four years later. Beneficio's devotion to God and El Christo, coupled with the deep grief of Maria's death, caused him to embrace the penitence oriented beliefs of "The Brotherhood of Blood and Light" (Penitente). Philip lived on the Mesa only until he started school in Cebolleta. There he lived with his father's boyhood friend, Emilio, and Emilio's Indian wife Rebecca. Philip Duran left the land grant for college and there discovered city life. He became a successful Hispanic businessman and married Carla, an Anglo. They have two teenaged children. Philip is a state senator and has ambitions toward being governor. His fear is that his sheepherder father will embarrass him politically with his land-grant ways and ancient Penitente beliefs. Philip has placed Beneficio in an Albuquerque rest home with the self-justification of "taking care of Papa". Castizo begins with Beneficio Duran cutting the branch end of the needled Cholla plant in an arroyo near Albuquerque. He plans to tie the spiny branch to the leather thongs of his self-flagellation whip. Should Beneficio succeed in finding a Penitente brotherhood, he hopes to join them in their Good Friday and Easter rites. Beneficio feels that he needs the pain of self-flagellation and the subsequent healing to be at peace with his troubled spirit. Desperate to find a Penitente brotherhood, he asks the help of a parish priest that appears to have a land-grant background. The priest can not help for the Penitente cult is not recognized by the Catholic Church.

Download or read book Ideology Politics and Demands in Spanish Language Literature and Film written by Teresa Fernandez Ulloa and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2012-03-15 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book comprises various chapters which explore a variety of topics related to the manner in which ideological and epistemological changes in the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries shaped the Spanish language, literature, and film, among other forms of expression, in both Spain and Latin America, and how these media served the purpose of spreading ideas and demands. There are articles on ideological representations of linguistic differences and sameness; linguistic changes associated with loan words and the ideas they bring in modifying our communicative landscape; the role of the Catholic religion on the construction of our dictionary; analysis of some political discourses, ideologies and social imaginaries; new visions of old literature (a return to the parody in the Middle Ages to analyze its moderness) and postmodern narrative; discussions on contemporary Spanish poetry and Central American literature; a new return to the liberation philosophy by analyzing Ellacuría´s work; and several studies about concepts such as capitalism, patriarchy, identity, masculinity, homosexuality, globalization, and the Resistence in several forms of expression.
Download or read book Source Material on the History and Ethnology of the Caddo Indians written by John Reed Swanton and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1942, John R. Swanton’s Source Material on the History and Ethnology of the Caddo Indians is a classic reference on the Caddos. Long regarded as the dean of southeastern Native American studies, Swanton worked for decades as an ethnographer, ethnohistorian, folklorist, and linguist. In this volume he presents the history and culture of the Caddos according to the principal French, Spanish, and English sources. In the seventeenth century, French and Spanish explorers encountered four regional alliances-Cahinnio, Cadohadacho, Hasinai, and Natchitoches-within the boundaries of the present-day states of Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma. Their descriptions of Caddo culture are the earliest sources available, and Swanton weaves the information from these primary documents into a narrative, translated into English, for the benefit of the modern reader. For the scholar, he includes in an appendix the extire test of three principal documents in their original Spanish. The first half of the book is devoted to an extensive history of the Caddos, from De Soto’s encounters in 1521 to the Caddos’ involvement in the Ghost Dance Religion of 1890. The second half discusses Caddo culture, including origin legends and religious beliefs, material culture, social relations, government, warfare, leisure, and trade. For this edition, Helen Hornbeck Tanner also provides a new foreword surveying the scholarship published on the Caddos since Swanton’s time.
