This book was released on 2010-12-15 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ensayo del año 2006 en eltema Medios / Comunicación: Teorías, modelos, definiciones, Universitat Jaume I, Idioma: Español, Resumen: De una manera u otra, los espacios simbólicos de la imagen y el poder se han visto siempre implicados, se han condicionado e influenciado hasta devenir teóricamente distinguibles pero prácticamente inseparables. En la actualidad pocos vocablos se usan con tanta frecuencia como el de “poder” sin que se plantee una profunda reflexión sobre la idea que lo sustenta. Durante la historia del pensamiento ha habido multitud de acercamientos desde diferentes ópticas, a veces contrapuestas, a este concepto cuyas apreciaciones nos ayudarán a comprender mejor a qué nos referimos. El enfoque teórico con el que se ha estudiado es tan variado que no queremos diluir nuestra argumentación en aspectos que podrían ser interesantes pero no aportan grandes luces a la relación que analizamos. Cuando vinculamos dos términos tan estudiados en estos tiempos (y capitales en nuestro propio estudio) como lo son imagen y poder, estamos introduciéndonos de lleno en terrenos tan pantanosos como la política, la representación, la cultura o la ideología.

Download or read book Poetic Culture written by Christopher Beach and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Poetic Culture, Christopher Beach questions the cultural significance of poetry, both as a canonical system and as a contemporary practice. By analyzing issues such as poetry's loss of audience, the "anthology wars" of the 1950s and early 1960s, the academic and institutional orientation of current poetry, the poetry slam scene, and the efforts to use television as a medium for presenting poetry to a wider audience, Beach presents a sociocultural framework that is fundamental to an understanding of the poetic medium. While calling for new critical methods that allow us to examine poetry beyond the limits of the accepted contemporary canon, and beyond the terms in which canonical poetry is generally discussed and evaluated, Beach also makes a compelling case for poetry and its continued vitality both as an aesthetic form and as a site for the creation of community and value.

Download or read book The American Poetry Wax Museum written by Jed Rasula and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 660 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing upon literary criticism, cultural studies, and social history, this book examines the canonizing assumptions (and compulsions) that have fabricated an image of American poetry since World War II, foremost of which is the enshrinement of the self-expressive subject. The tone of the book oscillates between documentary and polemic in an attempt to preserve the tensions that underlie the field of American poetry and which are typically subdued by anthologists and glossed over by commentators. The first chapter offers a theoretical scaffolding intended to contextualize following chapters and to invite other poets and critics to consider what it means to assemble and police a national canon of poetry. Subsequent chapters examine scholarship on contemporary American poetry; the cultural politics of publication and reviewing (which excludes, women, people of color, and gays and lesbians from many poetry anthologies); and poetry in the academy and the role of the poetry workshop. Ten appendixes list American poetry anthologies, most anthologized poets, number of anthology appearances, poets by birthdate, first anthology appearances, anthologies in translation, prizes and awards, results of a search of the MLA bibliography on CD-ROM, critical discussions of American poets, and interviews/collections of poets' essays.
