This book was released on 2014-12-15 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Durante muchos años dudé en escribir sobre mi participación en un movimiento social que hoy se considera un hito en la historia sociopolítica reciente de nuestro país: El Movimiento Estudiantil Mexicano de 1968. Me animé cuando me invitaron a participar en una mesa redonda en la Facultad de Ciencias Políticas y Sociales de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) para conmemorar el 45 aniversario de la matanza de Tlatelolco, el 2 de octubre de 1968. Espero que el relato de las experiencias que viví en el movimiento estudiantil de 1968, en las que trato de rescatar la parte humana de quien escribe estas notas, valga para mostrar que la construcción de la historia no sólo debe comprender el análisis de documentos y hechos para lograr un conocimiento objetivo de los fenómenos sociales. Se requiere saber también cómo vivieron los protagonistas esos momentos.

Download or read book Latin American Popular Theatre written by Judith A. Weiss and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is little about the evolution of Latin American popular theatre, especially New Popular Theatre, that goes unexplored in this interdisciplinary study. The authors re-examine the history of Latin American theatre to focus on the ruse of the Nuevo Teatro Popular, a radical movement of the mid-1960's that combines dormant forms of Latin America theatre with classical European, pre-Columbian and African theatre, modern experimental theatre, and popular culture. Weiss and her colleagues use detailed social, political, and historical information to show the syncretism and contradictory consciousness that has existed in this form of expression in Latin America since the first encounters between Europeans and indigenous Americans.

Download or read book The Aftermath of Feminism written by Angela McRobbie and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2008-11-20 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this trenchant inquiry into the state of feminism, Angela McRobbie breaks open the politics of sexual equality and ′affirmative feminism′ and sets down a new theory of gender power. Challenging the most basic assumptions of the ′end′ of feminism, this book argues that invidious forms of gender re-stabilisation are being re-established. Consumer and popular culture encroach on the terrain of so-called female freedom, appearing supportive of female success, yet tying women into new post-feminist neurotic dependencies. With a scathing critique of ′women′s empowerment′, McRobbie has developed a distinctive feminist analysis that she uses to examine socio-cultural phenomena embedded in contemporary women′s lives: from fashion photography and the television ′make-over′ genre to eating disorders, body anxiety and ′illegible rage′. A turning point in feminist theory, The Aftermath of Feminism will set a new agenda for gender studies and cultural studies.

Download or read book The Dissenting Voice written by Martin S. Stabb and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 1995-02-01 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Political, social, and aesthetic change marked Latin American society in the years between 1960 and 1985. In this book, Martin Stabb explores how these changes made their way into the essayistic writings of twenty-six Spanish American intellectuals. Stabb posits that dissent—against ideology, against simplistic notions of technological progress, against urban values, and even against the direct linear expository style of the essay itself—characterizes the work of these contemporary essayists. He draws his examples from major canonical figures, including Paz, Vargas Llosa, Fuentes, and Cortázar, and from lesser-known writers who merit a wider readership, such as Monterroso, Zaid, Edwards, and Ibargüengoitia. This exploration overturns many conventional assumptions about Latin American intellectuals and also highlights some of the other achievements of authors famous primarily for novels or short stories.

Download or read book The Writing of Elena Poniatowska written by Beth E. Jörgensen and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-07-05 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elena Poniatowska is one of Latin America's most distinguished and innovative living writers. Advocacy of women and the poor in their struggle for social and economic justice, denunciation of the repression of that struggle, and a tendency to blur the boundaries between conventional literary forms characterize her writing practice. Asserting that Poniatowska's writing has been uniquely shaped by her experience as a journalist and interviewer, Beth Jörgensen addresses four important texts: Palabras cruzadas (interviews), Hasta no verte Jesús mío (testimonial novel), La noche de Tlatelolco (oral history), and La "Flor de Lis" (novel of development). She also treats related pieces, including Lilus Kikus (short fiction), De noche vienes (short stories), Fuerte es el silencio (chronicles), and several of Poniatowska's essays. Her readings incorporate a variety of critical approaches within a feminist framework.
