Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "El ensayo América pintoresca y otros relatos ecfrásticos de Arnérica Latina, habla do Latinoamérica; no de aquello que olla es, sino de aqueIlo que imaginamos que ella es. El lector encontrará aqui un retrato dibujado con fragmentos, pedazos, huellas, rastros e indicios de lo que define los imaginarios sociales. El libro está dividido en dos partes, En la primera, se define lo imaginario y lo pintoresco, se hace un acercamiento al concepto de lo ecfrástico y se habla de la comunicacién, el fragmento, la acción y el discursos como elementos constitutivos de lo imaginario. La segunda, por su parte, está centrada en casos concretos a través de experiencias, medios artisticos o literarios; es deciry está focalizado en la visibilización a través de la imagen y los signos concretos. La primera es un hilo conceptual -el rostro invisible-, la segunda es un tejido de signos -el rostro visible-. América pintoresca... habla del pensamiento social latinoamericano, de su literatura, de su arte, de su estética y de su tradición cultural. Se inscribe en el contexto del pensamiento social, establece un diálogo con el pasado, con el presente y con el devenir histórico de nuestra tierra. Pedro Agudelo Rendón."--Front cover flap.

Download or read book The Latin American Short Story written by Daniel Balderston and published by Greenwood. This book was released on 1992-05-20 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The enormous body of short story anthologies from the nineteen countries of Spanish America and Brazil testifies to their importance for writers, editors, readers, and, especially, for schools and universities, teachers and students. The study of anthologies and their contents can be particularly revealing for many of the questions looming large in critical discourse, particularly those on canon formation and the relations between literature and cultural institutions; but researching this corpus is difficult because it varies greatly in quality, distribution, and format. The present volume for the first time gathers this mass of material and organizes it for systematic study. The main section comprises annotated listings of 1302 short story anthologies: those with stories from all or most of the countries grouped together, including a section of English-language anthologies; those from countries of a region; and those from individual nations. For most entries a full listing of contents is provided along with brief commentary. A second section comprises annotated bibliographies of criticism of the short story, similarly arranged with materials for Latin America as a whole as well as regionally and nationally. The volume ends with four indexes: of authors of the stories; of authors of essays, introductions, and other critical materials; of titles of the critical works; and of themes. An essential tool for scholars working on Latin American narrative, this bibliography will also serve as a practical finding aid for individual writers and stories.

Book excerpt: ¿Cuáles son los postulados liberales de Vargas Llosa? ¿Cuál es su posición ante la realidad latinoamericana? ¿Son los peligros y esperanzas que vislumbra para el continente? ¿Cómo han tomado forma sus ideas y compromisos? El recorrido intelectual de Mario Vargas Llosa. «La selección de ensayos que compone este volumen pretende aclarar estas cuestiones. En ellos, además de verse reflejado el recorrido intelectual del escritor, se analizan todos los grandes acontecimientos que han marcado la historia reciente de América Latina. No están ordenados cronológicamente sino por temas, ilustrando las batallas que Vargas Llosa ha dado por la libertad, desde su oposición frontal a las dictaduras, su ilusión y posterior desencanto con las revoluciones, sus críticas al nacionalismo, al populismo, al indigenismo y a la corrupción 'mayor amenaza para la credibilidad de las democracias', hasta el descubrimiento de las ideas liberales, su defensa irrestricta del sistema democrático y su pasión por la literatura y el arte latinoamericanos.» Carlos Granés

Download or read book A Pepper pot of Cultures written by Gordon Collier and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2003 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The terms 'creole' and 'creolization' have witnessed a number of significant semantic changes in the course of their history. Originating in the vocabulary associated with colonial expansion in the Americas it had been successively narrowed down to the field of black American culture or of particular linguistic phenomena. Recently 'creole' has expanded again to cover the broad area of cultural contact and transformation characterizing the processes of globalization initiated by the colonial migrations of past centuries. The present volume is intended to illustrate these various stages either by historical and/or theoretical discussion of the concept or through selected case studies. The authors are established scholars from the areas of literature, linguistics and cultural studies; they all share a lively and committed interest in the Caribbean area - certainly not the only or even oldest realm in which processes of creolization have shaped human societies, but one that offers, by virtue of its history of colonialization and cross-cultural contact, its most pertinent example. The collection, beyond its theoretical interest, thus also constitutes an important survey of Caribbean studies in Europe and the Americas. As well as searching overview essays, there are - sociolinguistic contributions on the linguistic geography of 'criollo' in Spanish America, the Limonese creole speakers of Costa Rica, 'creole' language and identity in the Netherlands Antilles and the affinities between Papiamentu and Chinese in Curaçao - ethnohistorical examinations of such topics as creole transgression in the Dominican/Haitian borderland, the Haitian Mandingo and African fundamentalism, creolization and identity in West-Central Jamaica, Afro-Nicaraguans and national identity, and the Creole heritage of Haiti - studies of religion and folk culture, including voodoo and creolization in New York City, the creolization of the "Mami Wata" water spirit, and signifyin(g) processes in New World Anancy tales - a group of essays focusing on the thought of Édouard Glissant, Maryse Condé, and the Créolité writers and case-studies of artistic expression, including creole identities in Caribbean women's writing, Port-au-Prince in the Haitian novel, Cynthia McLeod and Astrid Roemer and Surinamese fiction, Afro-Cuban artistic expression, and metacreolization in the fiction of Robert Antoni and Nalo Hopkinson.

Book excerpt: "Una bomba literaria que muy probablemente Obama no ha leído, pero que -seamos justos- en efecto tendría que leer...Imaginemos la escena: acomodado en su asiento del Air Force One rumbo a Washington, Obama toma el libro que le obsequió Chávez y, más por aburrimiento que por curiosidad, lo hojea al desgaire, lee un par de párrafos y, como le ha ocurrido a miles, queda atrapado por la un tanto engañosa pero siempre inquietante narración de Galeano. Alguien tan sensible a las humillaciones sufridas por los afroamericanos podría descubrir en sus páginas más de una coincidencia con su educación radical, y sin duda le ayudaría a comprender mejor a quienes desconfían de Estados Unidos, incluso de esa parte de Estados Unidos que, escapando a los prejuicios, le permitió convertirse en presidente." - Jorge Volpi, "El País", Spain "Este libro supera todo lo que yo jamás he leído sobre el tema, y permanecerá a lo largo de los años venideros. Una obra maestra. " - Carleton Beals, "Monthly Review", USA. "Este reportaje-ensayo-mural-obra de artesanía admirable ensambla géneros que andaban dispersos: la historia económica, el relato vital..

Download or read book Aires de familia written by Carlos Monsiváis and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Con ocasión del Premio Anagrama de Ensayo, que ha ganado por unanimidad con "Aires de familia", tenemos el honor de presentar al lector español a Carlos Monsiváis, uno de los grandes intelectuales latinoamericanos de nuestro tiempo y una conciencia crítica, lúcida e insobornable, en un ensayo ágil y sagaz, documentado y crítico, que se convertirá en una imprescindible obra de referencia. Han sido evidentes los «aires de familia» de las sociedades hispanoamericanas. En el patrimonio inicial participan el mismo idioma, con ajustes nacionales, la misma religión mayoritaria, con realidades espirituales marcadas por imágenes poderosas, la misma división entre liberales y conservadores o entre izquierda (fluctuante) y derecha (inamovible). A esto se añaden las formaciones de la historia, la literatura, la música, la norteamericanización, la explosión demográfica, las interminables ampliaciones urbanas, la desintegración rural. En las décadas recientes, a los «aires de familia» los afina y subraya la diversidad, que genera una nueva cultura latinoamericana caracterizada por la abundancia de opciones religiosas, el avance de la tolerancia, la democratización del ánimo social, la presencia creciente de la sociedad civil, la influencia de las tesis feministas, los movimientos y personas marginadas que se vuelven de algún modo centrales, etcétera. En veinte o treinta años América Latina es, en relación a su pasado, «la continuidad irreconocible», las semejanzas fragmentarias y las innovaciones profundas. Este ensayo es una aproximación a cambios y permanencias de la cultura latinoamericana en el siglo XX, en un panorama que va del culto a los héroes a la sociedad del espectáculo, de las migraciones culturales a la influencia de Hollywood en las sociedades en penumbras, del canon literario al idioma televisivo, de la fe devocional en la revolución a los proyectos democráticos. "Aires de familia" describe la unidad visible y profunda de naciones que comparten las sensaciones del abandono, las realidades de la desigualdad y, pese a todo, la fe en la democracia.
