Download or read book Al oeste del mito written by Sánchez Esbilla, Adrián and published by Editorial UOC. This book was released on 2016-09-25 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: América pronto se dio cuenta de su valor mítico. La historia transfiguró en leyenda y los hechos se diluyeron en el relato. La conquista del territorio, el avance de la civilización, los hombres y las mujeres de la frontera en expansión cuyos nombres y hazañas, por lo común violentas, pasaron a constituir una verdad contada. El wéstern, versión en movimiento de las dime novels, significó la primera experiencia del cinematógrafo con el espacio abierto y se convirtió en la maquinaria a través de la cual se transmitía el relato mítico de la fundación. Género americano, el wéstern se fue oscureciendo en el reflejo tanto de su tiempo presente como del histórico que recrea. La estilización dejó paso a la introspección, la emoción de la aventura, a la melancolía de la pérdida. El wéstern se convirtió en un modo, ético y estético, de estar y contar un país. Un paseo por las estaciones del wéstern y una antología de 50 títulos componen esta aproximación a un género que, en sí mismo, sintetiza lo cinematográfico: el gesto y el movimiento.

Download or read book Playful Classics written by Juliette Harrisson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-10-17 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book to deal exclusively with ludic interactions with classical antiquity – an understudied research area within classical reception studies – that can shed light on current processes of construction and appropriation of the Greco-Roman world. Classical antiquity has, for many years, been sold as a product and consumed in a wide variety of forms of entertainment. As a result, games, playing and playful experiences are a privileged space for the reception of antiquity. Through the medium of games, players, performers and audiences are put into direct contact with the classical past, and encouraged to experience it in a participative, creative and subjective fashion. The chapters in this volume, written by scholars and practitioners, cover a variety of topics and cultural artefacts including toys, board games and video games, as well as immersive experiences such as museums, theme parks and toga parties. The contributors tackle contemporary ludic practices and several papers establish a dialogue between artists and scholars, contrasting and harmonising their different approaches to the role of playfulness. Other chapters explore the educational potential of these manifestations, or their mediating role in shaping our conceptions of ancient Greece and Rome. Altogether, this edited collection is the first to offer a comprehensive overview of the ways we can play with antiquity.

Download or read book Defiant Deviance written by Cristina Santos and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2006 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative study embarks, from a collaborative and interdisciplinary approach, on redefining the «supernatural» as elements that fail to be framed as «natural» by their socio-cultural environment. The «supernatural» elements depicted in this study encompass such monstrous representations as witches, vampires, angels, virgins, apparitions, and other universally recognized reflections of human existence - though not all «supernatural» representations are seen as «monstrous, » but as physical and psychological embodiments of common human experience. Contributors to this project represent a wide scope of literary genres and eras, as well as differing theoretical approaches, united by the common goal of defining the «irreality of reality.»

Download or read book La Historia del Che Guevara Mito o realidad written by Francisco González and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-01-17 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hemos escuchado, a los estadistas mundiales, hablar de como se cuentan los grandes acontecimientos; el desarrollo de un pais, una plaga, una enfermedad, etc. No se alarme, el sufrimiento del pueblo de Cuba se cuenta en numeros de muertos; por mas de 65 anos. Este pequeno pais es una isla, situada en el caribe, su poblacion ha sido sometida, a la mas terrible de las torturas, solo comparable al exterminio de la poblacion camboyana, por el regimen comunista de Pol pot. Este libro, facil de leer, y muy ameno, por la dinamica, en la que resulta su estructura, en capitulos breves, en los cuales, se relatan acciones y acontecimientos, que involucran a este argentino; nombrado Che Guevara. Como cubano; hablare por las victimas de los primeros anos del comunismo radical, en la isla de Cuba, ya que a ellos, no les estuvo permitido expresarse, aun cuando ante la inminente privacion de la vida, suplicaban a sus verdugos, que no los asesinaran, pues eran inocentes. No pretendo abarcar toda la historia, seria creo imposible, pues cada cubano que ha vivido en la isla durante estos mas de 65 anos tiene su propia historia, mas tragica o menos tragica, pero cada uno tiene su historia, les confieso algo: Me ha sido muy dificil escribir a cerca de este asesino, Pero, como secuestrado por estos verdugos, creo que las victimas merecen respeto, por lo tanto. En memoria de las victimas, contare mi version de los hechos; no sin antes, hacer mias las palabras del Maestro de todos los cubanos, Jose Marti; cuando dijo: "Cuando hay muchos hombres sin decoro, hay siempre otros que tienen en si el decoro de muchos hombres. Esos son los que se rebelan con fuerza terrible contra los que les roban a los pueblos su libertad, que es robarles a los hombres su decoro. En esos hombres van miles de hombres, va un pueblo entero, va la dignidad humana." -JOSE MARTI.

Muchos de sus personajes son forzados a dejar su patria a causa de la violencia y la pobreza. Pero al encontrarse en la tierra prometida, lejos de su familia y amigos en un país cuy lengua y cultura no comprenden, se sienten abrumados por sentimientos de pérdida. En 'El Niño Dragón,' un grupo de huérfanos de la guerra civil salvadoreña se unen para sobrevivir, aún cuando son abusados por explotadores. En 'El Plan,' un exitoso millonario suizo retorna a su nativo El Salvador -- el cual dejó como un huérfano indefenso -- y ejecuta su despiadado plan para vengarse de los responsables del brutal asesinato de su familia. Y en 'De Australia Con Amor,' una emigrante salvadoreña planea casarse con un paisano que conoció en la Internet, hasta que cae en la cuenta de que lo ha visto antes." --From publisher's description.
