This book was released on 1993 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Federico García Lorca's autobiographical play, Once Five Years Pass deals directly with the discovery of his homosexual identity. While themes of sterility, desire, repression and death are central to this work, these themes are masked by the surrealistic language and plasticity that characterized his experimental theatre. Later, in his more traditional rural plays, Blood Wedding, Yerma, and The House of Bernarda Alba, Lorca sought to examine, at a safer distance, the themes elaborated in Once Five Years Pass. To this end, he removed himself from the center of the drama, creating a series of rural plays featuring women as the protagonists. An examination of the symbolic content in Blood Wedding, Yerma and The House of Bernarda Alba, which is more accessible in these traditionally structured works, supplies the key to the interpretation of Lorca's «unperformable» play.

Download or read book Codifying the National Self written by Bárbara Ozieblo and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2006 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theater has always been the site of visionary hopes for a reformed national future and a space for propagating ideas, both cultural and political, and such a conceptualization of the histrionic art is all the more valuable in the post-9/11 era. The essays in this volume address the concept of «Americanness» and the perceptions of the «alien» - as ethnic, class or gendered minorities - as dealt with in the work of American playwrights from Anna Cora Mowatt, through Rachel Crothers or Susan Glaspell, and on to Sam Shepard, David Mamet, Nilo Cruz or Wallace Shawn. The authors of the essays come from a multi-national university background that includes the United States, the United Arab Emirates and various countries of the European Community. In recognition of the multiple components of drama, the essays for the volume were selected in order to exemplify different aspects and theories of theater studies: the playwright, the play, the audience and the actor are all examined as part of the theatrical experience that serves to formulate American national identity.

Download or read book Poet in Spain written by Federico García Lorca and published by Knopf. This book was released on 2017 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the first time in a quarter century, a major new volume of translations of the beloved poetry of Federico García Lorca, presented in a beautiful bilingual edition The fluid and mesmeric lines of these new translations by the award-winning poet Sarah Arvio bring us closer than ever to the talismanic perfection of the great García Lorca. Poet in Spain invokes the "wild, innate, local surrealism" of the Spanish voice, in moonlit poems of love and death set among poplars, rivers, low hills, and high sierras. Arvio's ample and rhythmically rich offering includes, among other essential works, the folkloric yet modernist Gypsy Ballads, the plaintive flamenco Poem of the Cante Jondo, and the turbulent and beautiful Dark Love Sonnets--addressed to Lorca's homosexual lover--which Lorca was revising at the time of his brutal political murder by Fascist forces in the early days of the Spanish Civil War. Here, too, are several lyrics translated into English for the first time and the play Blood Wedding--also a great tragic poem. Arvio has created a fresh voice for Lorca in English, full of urgency, pathos, and lyricism--showing the poet's work has grown only more beautiful with the passage of time.

Download or read book Naming the Unnameable written by Michelle Bonzcek Evory and published by Open Suny Textbooks. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Naming the Unnameable: An Approach to Poetry for the New Generation assembles a wide range of poetry from contemporary poets, along with history, advice, and guidance on the craft of poetry. Informed by a consideration to the psychology of invention, Michelle Bonczek Evory¿s writing philosophy emphasizes both spontaneity and discipline, teaching students how to capture the chaos in our memories, imagination, and bodies with language, and discovering ways to mold them into their own cosmos, sculpt them like clay on a page. Exercises aim to make writing a form of play in its early stages that gives way to more enriching insights through revision, embracing the writing of poetry as both a love of language and a tool that enables us to explore ourselves and understand the world. Naming the Unnameable promotes an understanding of poetry as a living art and provides ways for students to involve themselves in the growing contemporary poetry community that thrives in America today.
Download or read book The Tragic Myth written by Edward F. Stanton and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-10-21 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With literature, music constituted the most important activity of poet and playwright Federico Garcia Lorca's life. The two arts were closely related to each other throughout his career. As a child, Lorca imbibed traditional Andalusian songs from the lips of the family maids, whom he would remember with affection years later. At a very early age he began to study piano, and during his adolescence, music and poetry competed for primacy among his interests. His first book was dedicated to his music teacher, who instilled in him a love for the world of art and creation. In part I of this study, Edward F. Stanton examines Lorca's theoretical and practical approach to cante jondo, the traditional music of Andalusia, as seen in his lectures on the subject and in the 1922 concurso. In part II, he searches for direct and—far more important—indirect echoes of this music in his work. Part III explores the mythic quality of Lorca's art in relation to cante jondo. Throughout, Stanton illuminates a new dimension of the poet's work.
