Download or read book Cultura en venta 2 written by Ricardo Pérez Montfort and published by DEBATE. This book was released on 2020-11-27 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Ya la compró? La cultura es un producto más Sujeta a las leyes de la oferta y la demanda, "la cultura" se ha convertido en una mercancía que debe seducir a los consumidores para que la compren y la utilicen. ¿Esto es un problema? ¿Es inevitable? ¿La cultura es "sagrada" y no debería estar sujeta a esos vaivenes? Sea como sea, el fenómeno existe, y de él dependen buena parte de la permanencia y reproducción de la cultura y de las instituciones que la fomentan. Las reflexiones teóricas que surgieron después de analizar los casos que conformaron el primer volumen de Cultura en venta se concentraron en el papel de los estudios en la construcción de los estereotipos culturales; los intermediarios en el proceso de selección de referencias; los procesos de autentificación; el papel de la moda; la relevancia del valor de cambio y el principio de la reciprocidad y, finalmente, las resistencias ante las representaciones culturales. Este segundo volumen busca discutir cada una de esas cuestiones a la hora de analizar los usos y abusos de la relación existente entre el mercado y la cultura.
Download or read book La idea de cultura written by Terry Eagleton and published by Paidos Iberica Ediciones S A. This book was released on 2001 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cuantos significados ha tenido la idea de cultura desde la Ilustracion hasta el posmodernismo? Por que la cultura ocupo el lugar de la religion? Y como se relacionan los conceptos de naturaleza y cultura? Es la cultura un antidoto contra la politica o es su verdadera salsa? Son compatibles la cultura como esfera de valores esteticos universales y las culturas como formas particulares de vida? Que sera de la cultura en la era del hipercapitalismo? Terry Eagleton, uno de los criticos culturales mas influyentes del momento, propone su particular vision de un debate politico cada vez mas candente. Como en sus libros anteriores, Eagleton vuelve a arremeter contra la complacencia politica del mundo ilustrado y del humanismo liberal, pero tambien contra las ilusiones del posmodernimo, las contradicciones del multiculturalismo y las evasiones del izquierdismo academico tan de moda en Estados Unidos. El giro cultural ha supuesto un avance fundamental para la politica, desde luego, pero paradojicamente tambien ha provocado su desplazamiento. Que postura habra que adoptar ante semejante contradiccion? Es posible pensar dialecticamente en una epoca que ha olvidado para siempre la dialectica? Eagleton prolonga su peculiar modelo marxista, influido aun por su primer maestro, Raymond Williams, pero incorporando, de manera critica, enfoques posestructuralistas psicoanalisis y deconstruccion, asi como la experiencia reciente de movimientos sociales, etnicos y politicos. La idea de cultura es, sin duda, una de las introducciones a la critica cultural y politica mas originales y utiles que se pueden leer hoy dia.

Download or read book World Anthropologies written by Gustavo Lins Ribeiro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-13 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.

Download or read book The Great Cat Massacre written by Robert Darnton and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2009-05-12 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The landmark history of France and French culture in the eighteenth-century, a winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize When the apprentices of a Paris printing shop in the 1730s held a series of mock trials and then hanged all the cats they could lay their hands on, why did they find it so hilariously funny that they choked with laughter when they reenacted it in pantomime some twenty times? Why in the eighteenth-century version of Little Red Riding Hood did the wolf eat the child at the end? What did the anonymous townsman of Montpelier have in mind when he kept an exhaustive dossier on all the activities of his native city? These are some of the provocative questions the distinguished Harvard historian Robert Darnton answers The Great Cat Massacre, a kaleidoscopic view of European culture during in what we like to call "The Age of Enlightenment." A classic of European history, it is an essential starting point for understanding Enlightenment France.
Download or read book World Literature Cosmopolitanism Globality written by Gesine Müller and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2019-10-21 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From today’s vantage point it can be denied that the confidence in the abilities of globalism, mobility, and cosmopolitanism to illuminate cultural signification processes of our time has been severely shaken. In the face of this crisis, a key concept of this globalizing optimism as World Literature has been for the past twenty years necessarily is in the need of a comprehensive revision. World Literature, Cosmopolitanism, Globality: Beyond, Against, Post, Otherwise offers a wide range of contributions approaching the blind spots of the globally oriented Humanities for phenomena that in one way or another have gone beyond the discourses, aesthetics, and political positions of liberal cosmopolitanism and neoliberal globalization. Departing basically (but not exclusively) from different examples of Latin American literatures and cultures in globalized contexts, this volume provides innovative insights into critical readings of World Literature and its related conceptualizations. A timely book that embraces highly innovative perspectives, it will be a mustread for all scholars involved in the field of the global dimensions of literature.

Download or read book Constructing the Political Spectacle written by Murray Jacob Edelman and published by Chicago : University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thanks to the ready availability of political news today, informed citizens can protect and promote their own interests and the public interest more effectively. Or can they? Murray Edelman argues against this conventional interpretation of politics, one that takes for granted that we live in a world of facts and that people react rationally to the facts they know. In doing so, he explores in detail the ways in which the conspicuous aspects of the political scene are interpretations that systematically buttress established inequalities and interpretations already dominant political ideologies.
Download or read book Tango Lessons written by Marilyn G. Miller and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2014-02-07 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From its earliest manifestations on the street corners of nineteenth-century Buenos Aires to its ascendancy as a global cultural form, tango has continually exceeded the confines of the dance floor or the music hall. In Tango Lessons, scholars from Latin America and the United States explore tango's enduring vitality. The interdisciplinary group of contributors—including specialists in dance, music, anthropology, linguistics, literature, film, and fine art—take up a broad range of topics. Among these are the productive tensions between tradition and experimentation in tango nuevo, representations of tango in film and contemporary art, and the role of tango in the imagination of Jorge Luis Borges. Taken together, the essays show that tango provides a kaleidoscopic perspective on Argentina's social, cultural, and intellectual history from the late nineteenth to the early twenty-first centuries. Contributors. Esteban Buch, Oscar Conde, Antonio Gómez, Morgan James Luker, Carolyn Merritt, Marilyn G. Miller, Fernando Rosenberg, Alejandro Susti
