Book Theatre Censorship in Spain  19311985

Download or read book Theatre Censorship in Spain 19311985 written by Catherine O'Leary and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2023-05-15 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a comprehensive study of the impact of censorship on theatre in twentieth-century Spain. It draws on extensive archival evidence, vivid personal testimonies and in-depth analysis of legislation to document the different kinds of theatre censorship practised during the Second Republic (1931–6), the civil war (1936–9), the Franco dictatorship (1939–75) and the transition to democracy (1975–85). Changes in criteria, administrative structures and personnel from these periods are traced in relation to wider political, social and cultural developments, and the responses of playwrights, directors and companies are explored. With a focus on censorship, new light is cast on particular theatremakers and their work, the conditions in which all kinds of theatre were produced, the construction of genres and canons, as well as on broader cultural history and changing ideological climate – all of which are linked to reflections on the nature of censorship and the relationship between culture and the state.

Book Bajarse Al Moro

  • Release : 2013
  • ISBN : 1908343273
  • Pages : 239 pages

Download or read book Bajarse Al Moro written by Jose Luis Alonso de de Santos and published by Hispanic Classics. This book was released on 2013 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Going Down to Morocco (Bajarse al moro), is one of the most emblematic and best known theatrical work of recent times in Spain. It both contributed to and documented La Movida, a drug-fuelled youth movement that placed Madrid firmly on the global cultural map in the early 1980s. Alonso de Santos' play, a commercial and critical success when first staged in 1985, was made into a film starring Antonio Banderas in 1989. Chusa, a free-spirited and spontaneously generous young drug smuggler introduces Elena, a middle-class runaway, to the apartment she shares with her cousin Pepito and her boyfriend Alberto, a rookie policeman. The result is chaos in their previously disorderly but happy life. The comedy explores opposing lifestyles of young people in 1980s Spain, during a period of radical social change. It is characterised by humour, creative use of contemporary slang, and intertextual film references. Duncan Wheeler's translation of the original play marks with footnotes the changes made in the new version done in 2008 for a high-profile revival to celebrate its twenty-fifth anniversary. This edition also includes an unpublished interview conducted by Duncan Wheeler with Alonso de Santos in 2010.

Book Censorship across Borders

Download or read book Censorship across Borders written by Alberto Lázaro and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2011-07-12 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together twelve essays which explore European censorship of English literature in the last century. Taking into consideration the various social, political and historical contexts in which literary controls were imposed and the extent to which they were determined by national and international concerns, these essays comment on political and moral censorship, self-censorship, and the role of the translator as censor. Besides systematic state control, other hidden and insidious forms of censorship are also surveyed in the essays. This study considers why certain works and authors, many of them now regarded as canonical, were targeted in various states and often under opposing ideologies, such as those dominated by conservative Catholic morality and those governed by communism or socialism. The essays contain previously unpublished material, cover a wide range of authors – including Beckett, Eliot, Joyce and Orwell – and analyse diverse censorship systems operating across Europe, thus serving as a useful comparative resource. Despite the variety of structures of suppression, the study shows that certain common practices can be discerned across national borders and that general conclusions can be drawn about the complex and ambiguous nature of the state’s relationship with culture and about the immediate and long-term impact of censorship, not only on the author and publisher but on society as a whole. Finally, the essays are also significant for what they tell us about the survival of literature, despite the best efforts of the censors.

Book Escrituras silenciadas

Download or read book Escrituras silenciadas written by José Francisco Forniés Casals and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Al hablar de Escrituras Silenciadas nos referimos a todos aquellos textos y testimonios que han sido censurados, ocultados, prohibidos o en pocas palabras acallados a lo largo del tiempo y los que al ser descubiertos e integrados en sus respectivas investigaciones, permiten al estudioso romper discursos construidos de larga data y replantear viejos problemas. Precisamente esta capacidad de innovación resulta ser el mayor atractivo que tiene el presente libro, donde por primera vez hemos querido incorporar artículos que plantean problemas desde la perspectiva de las nuevas tecnologías, de sus silencios y prohibiciones, sin olvidar el impacto que ellas tienen en las investigaciones en curso, al facilitar el acceso a textos hasta ahora- fuera del alcance de los investigadores. Las Escrituras Silenciadas pertenecen a ese tipo de temas primarios y esenciales que nadie desconoce pues están presentes de manera persistente y clara en nuestra vida cotidiana. Baste recordar cómo, día a día, la prensa nos informa de nuevos documentos que salen luz y que nos demuestran- ante nuestro estupor- que detrás de la idea que nos habíamos construido de la realidad se esconden grandes espacios vacíos, que el poder en sus diferentes manifestaciones, nos ha querido ocultar. Curiosamente, esta política de cercenar nuestros derechos y capacidades a documentarnos sin trabas sobre los problemas que nos afectan, resulta ser un asunto poco analizado y discutido en la academia, donde en muy escasas ocasiones el problema se ha explorado en toda su dimensión y trascendencia. El presente libro espera contribuir a subsanar esta carencia.

Book The Book of Daniel

    Book Details:
  • Author : E.L. Doctorow
  • Publisher : Random House
  • Release : 2010-11-10
  • ISBN : 0307762955
  • Pages : 320 pages

Download or read book The Book of Daniel written by E.L. Doctorow and published by Random House. This book was released on 2010-11-10 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central figure of this novel is a young man whose parents were executed for conspiring to steal atomic secrets for Russia. His name is Daniel Isaacson, and as the story opens, his parents have been dead for many years. He has had a long time to adjust to their deaths. He has not adjusted. Out of the shambles of his childhood, he has constructed a new life—marriage to an adoring girl who gives him a son of his own, and a career in scholarship. It is a life that enrages him. In the silence of the library at Columbia University, where he is supposedly writing a Ph.D. dissertation, Daniel composes something quite different. It is a confession of his most intimate relationships—with his wife, his foster parents, and his kid sister Susan, whose own radicalism so reproaches him. It is a book of memories: riding a bus with his parents to the ill-fated Paul Robeson concert in Peekskill; watching the FBI take his father away; appearing with Susan at rallies protesting their parents’ innocence; visiting his mother and father in the Death House. It is a book of investigation: transcribing Daniel’s interviews with people who knew his parents, or who knew about them; and logging his strange researches and discoveries in the library stacks. It is a book of judgments of everyone involved in the case—lawyers, police, informers, friends, and the Isaacson family itself. It is a book rich in characters, from elderly grand- mothers of immigrant culture, to covert radicals of the McCarthy era, to hippie marchers on the Pen-tagon. It is a book that spans the quarter-century of American life since World War II. It is a book about the nature of Left politics in this country—its sacrificial rites, its peculiar cruelties, its humility, its bitterness. It is a book about some of the beautiful and terrible feelings of childhood. It is about the nature of guilt and innocence, and about the relations of people to nations. It is The Book of Daniel.
