Download or read book Jewish Man and Other Songs written by Beatrice Heath Tomlinson and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-04-30 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The following poems are prayers and songs. Except for Cuba Errante, which is a plea to the Mother of God to intercede for the difficult plight of Cubans both at home and abroad-- these songs are meditations based on biblical passages and themes. I call them poetic icons because, like the ancient pictorial icons of our Judeo-Christian heritage, the intent of these poems is also, first, to focus the attention of the reader into the scene that is being depicted, in order to see the presence of God at work in that particular scene and in its characters; second, the intent is to help readers catch a glimpse of the divine presence and warmth that illuminates each particular scene. Third, as is the case with sacred pictorial icons, it is also the intent of these poems to help readers in the present time identify with the struggles of those ancient biblical characters, and with the way the Spirit of God is still at work now in each of the readers that contemplate these scenes. I was inspired to write some of these poems in English; others, in Spanish. In some cases, I made the effort to make the poems available in both languages. Thank you for your patience with the bilingual nature of this collection. Is there music to these songs? Yes, and it is our hope to make it available to you in an ensuing publication. Thank you again!

Download or read book A Mexican State of Mind written by Melissa Castillo Planas and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-13 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Mexican State of Mind: New York City and the New Borderlands of Culture explores the cultural and creative lives of the largely young undocumented Mexican population in New York City since September 11, 2001. Inspired by a dialogue between the landmark works of Paul Gilroy and Gloria Anzaldúa, it develops a new analytic framework, the Atlantic Borderlands, which bridges Mexican diasporic experiences in New York City and the black diaspora, not as a comparison but in recognition that colonialism, interracial and interethnic contact through trade, migration, and slavery are connected via capitalist economies and technological developments. This book is based on ten years of fieldwork in New York City, with members of a vibrant community of young Mexican migrants who coexist and interact with people from all over the world. It focuses on youth culture including hip hop, graffiti, muralism, labor activism, arts entrepreneurship and collective making.

Download or read book Juvenopedia written by Carles Feixa and published by NED Ediciones. This book was released on 2016-06-10 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El presente libro pretende mapear el planeta de las juventudes iberoamericanas, a modo de pequeña enciclopedia capaz de condensar los pequeños saberes y grandes interrogantes sobre las identidades juveniles actuales, ya sean ocultas, sumergidas, emergentes y visibles, es decir, como una Juvenopedia en construcción. Responde a un trabajo de investigación individual de naturaleza interdisciplinaria, pero parte de un esfuerzo colectivo de distintos investigadores iberoamericanos de las últimas generaciones, que de alguna manera han tenido relación como colegas, discípulos o colaboradores de Carles Feixa y Patricia Oliart (coordinadores). Tras una introducción en la que los coordinadores establecen un marco general sobre los estudios de las juventudes iberoamericanas, el libro se articula en capítulos que responden a intereses teóricos y marcos disciplinarios distintos, aunque todos comparten la misma estructura: una primera sección en base a marcos teóricos y conceptuales, una segunda a partir de esbozos etnográficos, y una tercera en base a un caso de estudio como ilustración de las teorías. En ellos se retratan una diversidad de jóvenes contemporáneos en América Latina y la Península Ibérica: jóvenes indígenas, trendsetters, rurales, urbanos, estudiantes, trabajador@s, en masculino, en femenino, digitales, deportistas, ciudadan@s, transnacionales, altermundialistas e indignad@s.
Download or read book Missionary Linguistics Ling stica misionera written by Otto Zwartjes and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2004-08-31 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the first European missionaries arrived on other continents, it was decided that the indigenous languages would be used as the means of christianization. There emerged the need to produce grammars and dictionaries of those languages. The study of this linguistic material has so far not received sufficient attention in the field of linguistic historiography. This volume is the first published collection of papers on missionary linguistics world-wide; it represents the insights of recent research, containing an introduction and papers on methodology, meta-historiography, the historical and cultural background. The book contains studies about early-modern linguistic works written in Spanish, Portuguese, English and French, describing among others indigenous languages from North America and Australia, Maya, Quechua, Xhosa, Japanese, Kapampangan, and Visaya. Topics dealt with include: innovations of individual missionaries in lexicography, grammatical analysis, phonology, morphology, or syntax; creativity in descriptive techniques; differences and/or similarities of works from different continents, and different religious backgrounds (Catholic or Protestant).

Crow, a leading Hispanist, has culled the best translations available--by such poets as Richard Franshawe, Edward Fitzgerald, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lord Byron, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, William Cullen Bryant, Robert Southey, and many distinguished modern poets--of poems ranging from the eleventh century to the present to make this the most complete collection of both Spanish and Spanish American poetry in English translation.

The inclusion of many contemporary poets whose verse has never before appeared in English makes this anthology a particularly valuable collection.

Book excerpt: Confundida y con el cuerpo hecho pedazos Ellian despierta sin saber en dónde está o cómo llegó ahí. Su escasa memoria apenas le permite recordar su nombre y una ligera aproximación a la fecha en la que se encontraba. La cual no podría ni remotamente imaginar. El primo de su rescatador, Dylan, le dice que donde está no es la Tierra y que los rasgos de las personas nativas de Laitale difiere sólo en los ojos. A pesar de la incredulidad de Ellian, al ver que los ojos de él son igual que los de ella, Dylan le revela que él también era de la Tierra. Ellian confundida, asustada y temerosa intenta sobrevivir en un mundo totalmente distinto, lleno de bellezas naturales, seres hermosos y una forma de vida utópica que va más allá del entendimiento humano. Noche tras noche las pesadillas asechan a Ellian intentando advertirle de un peligro aun mayor del que ella se espera. Encontrando el amor incondicional de un hombre y de su familia ella se cree capaz de enfrentar cualquier cosa para salvar a tan hermoso lugar de las asquerosas garras del mal que la asecha. Llevándola así a cometer el acto más valeroso e insensato que jamás se creyó capaz de hacer. Su aventura se convierte en un viaje de auto reflexión sobre quiénes somos y nuestro lugar en el universo, las indestructibles conexiones entre un ser y otro y la manera tan irracional y hermosa en la que el universo actúa algunas veces.
Download or read book Mist written by Miguel de Unamuno and published by Aris and Phillips Hispanic Cla. This book was released on 2014 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mist (Niebla), published in 1914, is one of Miguel de Unamuno's key works; a truly Modernist work of Europe-wide significance which aims to shatter the conventions of fiction, using the novel as a vehicle for exploration of philosophical themes. The plot revolves around the character of Augusto, a wealthy, intellectual and introverted young man and his love affair with Eugenia, which eventually ends in heartbreak. Augusto decides to kill himself, but decides that he needs to consult Unamuno himself, who had written an article on suicide which Augusto had read. When Augusto speaks with Unamuno, the truth is revealed that Augusto is actually a fictional character whom Unamuno has created. Augusto is not real, Unamuno explains, and for that reason cannot kill himself. Augusto asserts that he exists, even though he acknowledges internally that he doesn't, and threatens Unamuno by telling him that he is not the ultimate author. Augusto reminds Unamuno that he might be just one of God's dreams. Augusto dies and the book ends with the author himself debating to himself about bringing back the character of Augusto. He establishes, however, that this would not be feasible. Following on from his translation of Abel Sanchez , John Macklin's edition provides a much needed new English translation, alongside the Spanish text, together with a substantial introduction.
Download or read book Los Esccritos Escondidos de Una Emperatriz written by Emperatriz Sanclemente Saavedra and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2011-05 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En este primer tomo de "Los Escritos Escondidos de una Emperatriz del Siglo XX", se consideran muchas de las preguntas existenciales que en alguna u otra ocasión todos los mortales nos hemos cuestionado. La autora, Emperatriz Sanclemente Saavedra, es una escritora colombiana. Ella advierte que estos escritos no son aptos para ateos. En la mayoría de los poemas se resuelven las dudas, las cavilaciones, la incertidumbre y la angustia, recurriendo al consuelo que se encuentra en la fe, la esperanza y la caridad. A través de estos poemas, la escritora sin tratar de convencer a sus lectores a creer lo que ella cree, expresa abierta y sencillamente su opinión acerca de temas existenciales, científi cos y a veces espirituales. En otros de sus poemas, comparte fórmulas que por medio de sus propias experiencias sabe que son efectivas para enfrentar la adversidad, la depresión y la decepción que originan las vicisitudes de la vida y que a todos los mortales, por turnos, nos toca experimentar tarde o temprano. Este libro se escribe con la principal y mejor intención de entretener y proporcionar una sonrisa a quien tenga la gentileza de leerlo. Y por qué no decirlo, como un llamado a considerar esta vida no como el objetivo fi nal de la existencia, sino más bien como un vehículo que nos llevará a un lugar eterno, el cual podemos escoger a nuestro propio albedrio, dependiendo de lo que hagamos día a día.
