Book excerpt: La memoria tiene sus matices, sus vaivenes, sus luces y sombras. En esa intermitencia –entre olvidos y recuerdos– conformamos nuestra identidad individual, social e histórica, porque después de todo, somos nuestra memoria. Esa idea subyace a la constelación de textos presentes en este libro, uniendo diferentes temas como un hilo conductor, sin prescindir de cierta renovación permanente que instala al lector en un lugar activo: el lugar de quien piensa y establece relaciones. Con un lenguaje sencillo y agradable, y al mismo tiempo con lucidez y agudeza, Iván Izquierdo nos acerca sus reflexiones con una idea clara: “No espero, y en verdad no deseo, desencadenar el mimetismo de que alguien decida pensar igual que yo”, pero “habrá sin duda numerosos puntos de contacto entre lo que yo digo aquí y lo que piensa cada uno de los lectores. A esos puntos me dirijo, y a cada uno de ellos lo celebro”. Se celebra, entonces, la diversidad y la comunión de pensamiento. Un pensamiento que incluye cuestiones cotidianas, aspectos propios de la ciencia, temas existenciales, y material relativo a la política, la historia o la actividad literaria. Un pensamiento sensible, en definitiva, acerca de lo que recordamos, lo que olvidamos, lo que somos y lo que pretendemos ser.

Download or read book The Novels of Josefina Aldecoa written by Nuala Kenny and published by Tamesis Books. This book was released on 2012 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive analysis of the novels of prominent contemporary Spanish writer and educator Josefina Aldecoa. Josefina Aldecoa, in her treatment of themes such as a woman's place in society under and after dictatorship, mother-daughter relationships, war, and memory, confirmed her unique role as a contemporary novelist concerned with women's identity in Spain and as a writer of the mid-century generation ('los niños de la guerra'). The first volume of her trilogy, Historia de una maestra, was one of the earliest narratives of historical memory to beproduced in Spain. In this sense, Aldecoa's work anticipated new developments in gender studies, such as the intersection of feminist concerns and cultural memory. This book offers a comprehensive examination of Aldecoa's trajectory as a novelist, from La enredadera to Hermanas, centring on her primary preoccupations of gender and memory, arguing that Aldecoa's fiction offers a new, more complex understanding of women's identity than previously understood. The work combines the two dominating theoretical components of feminism and cultural memory with close textual analysis of Aldecoa's narratives. Her novels highlight the importance of the details of women's daily experiences and struggles throughout the twentieth century, a period of significant socio-political upheaval and change in Spain's history. NUALA KENNY teaches Spanish at the National University of Maynooth, Ireland.
Download or read book Memory in World Cinema written by Nancy J. Membrez and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2019-08-30 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Film itself is an artifact of memory. A blend of all the other fine arts, film portrays and preserves human memory, someone's memory, faulty or not, dramatically or comically, in a documentary, feature film or short. Hollywood may dominate 80 percent of cinema production but it is not the only voice. World cinema is about those other voices. Drawn initially from presentations from a series of film conferences held at the University of Texas at San Antonio, this collection of essays covers multiple geographical, linguistic, and cultural areas worldwide, emphasizing the historical and cultural interpretation of films. Appendices list films focusing on memory and invite readers to explore the films and issues raised.

S. Merwin, Alastair Reid, Mark Strand, Charles Tomlinson, and John Updike.

Download or read book The Elderly Are Those Who Have Been Lucky Enough To Reach Old Age written by Luz María Londoño and published by Bilineata Publishing. This book was released on 2014-09-25 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflections such as these are subtly collected in this book and placed in the light of her own reflections by Luz María Londoño. With secret, fascinated delight, she has journeyed through the vast garden of universal literature, selecting the most memorable thoughts on life and death and that forcible interval called old age, which have thrived from Seneca to the present day. Those of us who have reached the threshold of seventy or eighty years of age cannot remain indifferent to all the memories stirred by these pages. “We all want to live to old age and we all deny that we have done so”, wrote Quevedo. And, centuries later, Trotsky echoed these words in a similar reflection: “To age is the most unexpected of all the things that happen to man”. Very true. Old age is similar to twilight: it suddenly, briefly and intensely lights up the high points of our lives like an announcement and a preamble to night.
Download or read book The Border of Lights Reader written by Megan Jeanette Myers and published by Amherst College Press. This book was released on 2021 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Border of Lights, a volunteer collective, returns each October to Dominican-Haitian border towns to bear witness to the 1937 Haitian Massacre ordered by Dominican dictator Rafael Leónidas Trujillo. This crime against humanity has never been acknowledged by the Dominican government and no memorial exists for its victims. A multimodal, multi-vocal space for activists, artists, scholars, and others connected to the BOL movement, The Border of Lights Reader provides an alternative to the dominant narrative that positions Dominicans and Haitians as eternal adversaries and ignores cross-border and collaborative histories. This innovative anthology asks large-scale, universal questions regarding historical memory and revisionism that countries around the world grapple with today. "By bringing together in one volume poetry, visual arts, literary analysis, in-depth interviews and historical analysis this volume will provide its readers with a comprehensive view of the causes and the aftermath of the massacre." --Ramón Antonio Victoriano-Martínez, University of British Columbia Contributions by Julia Alvarez, Amanda Alcántara, DeAndra Beard, Nancy Betances, Jésula Blanc, Matías Bosch Carcuro, Cynthia Carrión, Raj Chetty, Catherine DeLaura, Magaly Colimon, Juan Colón, Robin Maria DeLugan, Lauren Derby, Rosa Iris Diendomi Álvarez, Polibio Díaz, Rana Dotson, Rita Dove, Rhina P.

Download or read book Museums Exhibitions and Memories of Violence in Colombia written by Jimena Perry and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-06-16 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how recent Colombian historical memories are informed by cultural diversity and how some of the country’s citizens remember the brutalities committed by the Army, guerrillas, and paramilitaries during the internal war (1980-2016). Its chapters delve into four case studies. The first highlights the selections of what not to remember and what not to represent at the National Museum of the country. The second focuses on the well-received memories at the same institution by examining a display made to commemorate the assassination of a demobilized guerrilla fighter. The third discusses how a rural marginal community decided to vividly remember the attacks they experienced by creating a display hall to aid in their collective and individual healing. Lastly, the fourth case study, also about a rural peripheric community, discusses their way of remembering, which emphasizes peasant oral traditions through a traveling venue. By bringing violence, memory, and museum studies together, this text contributes to our understanding of how social groups severely impacted by atrocities recreate and remember their violent experiences. By drawing on displays, newspapers, interviews, catalogs, and oral histories, Jimena Perry shows how museums and exhibitions in Colombia become politically active subjects in the acts of reflection and mourning, and how they foster new relationships between the state and society. This volume is of great use to students and scholars interested in Latin American and public history.

Download or read book Telling Tales written by Anne L. Walsh and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2015-04-01 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume delves deeply into the role played by stories and storytelling in shaping, controlling and mapping present-day Spain, and examines fiction in various manifestations and genres, especially written and filmic. It contrasts such stories and their context with the past, investigating the differences and similarities between spatially and geographically varying narrations in order to tease out the link between the time of telling and the act of living. Throughout the book, scholars look separately at this phenomenon, and their findings reveal a close bond between events occurring in the real world and the relating of fictional stories. Particularly in Spain, the geographic space of interest here, storytelling is used both as catharsis and didactically. Authors and filmmakers find inspiration in everyday occurrences, and, while there is nothing unusual in that, the interest here lies in the consequent transformation of these occurrences into fascinating stories that attempt to make sense of chaotic events, connect those events temporally, and explore the meaning of the consequent coherence. Stories are at the very essence of humanity, be they fictional or based on everyday reality. This collection focuses specifically on Spain where easily identifiable features of history (such as the Spanish Civil War, the Franco Dictatorship, transition, democracy, and the global economic crisis) have had a major impact on everyday life. The narratives emerging show clear evidence of that impact, with an emphasis on such themes as the significance of memory, the impossibility and instability of such memory, the chaotic nature of life, and the place of the nation/state in the psyche of the individual, with emerging themes investigating the role of solidarity and empathy in the empowerment of the individual. This volume is informed by the shift that occurred in the twentieth century towards a world of unstable parameters, whereby whatever knowledge that is received must be questioned as to the extent of its authenticity since that knowledge is always affected by memory, experience, and time, all subjective phenomena in themselves.
