Download or read book The Early Cuadro de Costumbres in Colombia written by Frank M. Duffey and published by Unc Department of Romance Studies. This book was released on 1956 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study traces the development of the sketch of manners (cuadro de costumbres), beginning in 1838 until the end of the century. Although the Colombian sketch is not in general distinguished artistically, its scope and variety of subject produce a richly detailed picture of the life, people, and institutions of mid-century Colombia. The author shows the influence of the Spaniards Larra and Mesonero Romanos, and discusses authors of El Mosaico literary group and their predecessors who also wrote in the costumbrista style.

Download or read book The Work of Recognition written by Jason McGraw and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2014-08-18 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells the compelling story of postemancipation Colombia, from the liberation of the slaves in the 1850s through the country's first general labor strikes in the 1910s. As Jason McGraw demonstrates, ending slavery fostered a new sense of citizenship, one shaped both by a model of universal rights and by the particular freedom struggles of African-descended people. Colombia's Caribbean coast was at the center of these transformations, in which women and men of color, the region's majority population, increasingly asserted the freedom to control their working conditions, fight in civil wars, and express their religious beliefs. The history of Afro-Colombians as principal social actors after emancipation, McGraw argues, opens up a new view on the practice and meaning of citizenship. Crucial to this conception of citizenship was the right of recognition. Indeed, attempts to deny the role of people of color in the republic occurred at key turning points exactly because they demanded public recognition as citizens. In connecting Afro-Colombians to national development, The Work of Recognition also places the story within the broader contexts of Latin American popular politics, culture, and the African diaspora.
Download or read book The Colombian Novel 1844 1987 written by Raymond Leslie Williams and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-07-05 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Novels such as One Hundred Years of Solitude have awakened English-language readers to the existence of Colombian literature in recent years, but Colombia has a well-established literary tradition that far predates the Latin American "boom." In this pathfinding study, Raymond Leslie Williams provides an overview of seventeen major authors and more than one hundred works spanning the years 1844 to 1987. After an introductory discussion of Colombian regionalism and novelistic development, Williams considers the novels produced in Colombia's four semi-autonomous regions. The Interior Highland Region is represented by novels ranging from Eugenio Díaz' Manuela to Eduardo Caballero Calderón's El buen salvaje. The Costa Region is represented by Juan José Nieto's Ingermina to Alvaro Cepeda Samudio's La casa grande and Gabriel García Márquez' Cien años de soledad; the Greater Antioquian Region by Tomás Carrasquilla's Frutos de mi tierra to Manuel Mejía Vallejo's El día señalado; and the Greater Cauca Region by Jorge Isaacs' Maria to Gustavo Alvarez Gardeazábal's El bazar de los idiotas. A discussion of the modern and postmodern novel concludes the study, with special consideration given to the works of García Márquez and Moreno-Durán. Written in a style accessible to a wide audience, The Colombian Novel will be a foundational work for all students of Colombian culture and Latin American literature.
Download or read book The Early Colombian Labor Movement written by David Sowell and published by Temple University Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Sowell traces the history of artisan labor organizations in Bogotá and examines long-term political activity of Colombian artisans in the century after independence. Relying on contemporary newspapers, political handouts, broadsides, and public petitions, Sowell analyzes the economic, social, and political history of the capital's artisan class, a middling social sector with very significant social and political strengths. This is the first study in English of nineteenth-century Latin American artisans and one of the few treatments that spans the whole of nineteenth-century Colombian history.The rise and late decline of artisan class political activity coincided the Colombia's integration into the world market. Initially petitioning for tariff protection, Bogotá's craftsmen in time mobilized to address numerous issues, including industrial education, internal trade order, credit, and better health and educational facilities. Sowell traces the transformation of Colombia's economy and the (mainly negative) effects its evolution had on bogotano artisans. By the end of the nineteenth century, the artisans class was fragmented, their labor leadership replaced by workers associated with industrial production, transportation systems, and the production of coffee. Author note: David Sowell is Assistant Professor of History at Juniata College.

Download or read book Aurality written by Ana María Ochoa Gautier and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2015-02-20 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this audacious book, Ana María Ochoa Gautier explores how listening has been central to the production of notions of language, music, voice, and sound that determine the politics of life. Drawing primarily from nineteenth-century Colombian sources, Ochoa Gautier locates sounds produced by different living entities at the juncture of the human and nonhuman. Her "acoustically tuned" analysis of a wide array of texts reveals multiple debates on the nature of the aural. These discussions were central to a politics of the voice harnessed in the service of the production of different notions of personhood and belonging. In Ochoa Gautier's groundbreaking work, Latin America and the Caribbean emerge as a historical site where the politics of life and the politics of expression inextricably entangle the musical and the linguistic, knowledge and the sensorial.

Download or read book Museo de cuadros de costumbres y variedades Tomo I written by José María Vergara y Vergara and published by Universidad de los Andes. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta es la primera reedición completa del Museo, tras 154 años de su publicación. Para la presente obra se reconstruyó la edición príncipe de 1866 (Imprenta de Foción Mantilla), que reposa en la Biblioteca Nacional de Colombia. La Biblioteca del Banco Popular hizo una edición del Museo en 1973 en cuatro tomos, retitulándola Museo de cuadros de costumbres, variedades y viajes. A pesar de ser un esfuerzo encomiable, la edición excluyó textos que inicialmente estaban en el Museo y se dio libertades que desdibujaron el original. Por ejemplo, sacó los cuadros de Ricardo Silva y de Emiro Kastos, así como los textos de Manuel Ancízar, con el fin de editar volúmenes separados para estos autores. Inexplicablemente, dejó por fuera Manuela de Eugenio Díaz, ya que no la imprimió en tomo aparte. Además de estas inconsistencias, sin decirlo expresamente, en los tomos tres y cuatro de su edición, añadió los cuadros de costumbres que compiló José Joaquín Borda en 1878, seis años después de la muerte de Vergara, bajo el título Cuadros de costumbres y descripciones locales de Colombia. Por último, decidió acompañar la edición tanto de ilustraciones de la época como de algunas contemporáneas a la reedición, sin ningún criterio histórico rastreable. Lamentablemente, dicha reedición es la que más se consulta (tanto en formato impreso como electrónico). A la hora de armar las notas de esta edición y escribir su estudio preliminar, seguí cuatro criterios. Primero, ver el Museo como parte de un movimiento literario global. Luego, hacer evidente la forma en que la literatura de tipos y costumbresse entroncó con mecanismos de control biopolítico de la población colombiana. Después, mostrar que el Museo fue una reacción a las reformas liberales a nivel nacional; y, finalmente, dar a conocer al público lector el archivo de periódicos que usó Vergara para componer su Museo. A continuación, explico con detalle estos criterios.

The chronological layout, aided by the numerous maps and photographs, reveals the exceptional changes, relocations, destruction, and transformations these cities endured to become the metropolises they are today.
