Download or read book Lorca s Experimental Theater written by Andrew A. Anderson and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2024-11-25 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Critical and historical discussions of the life and work of Federico García Lorca often prioritize his stunning modernist poetry and popular dramas while obscuring the author's more avant-garde dramatic works. In Lorca's Experimental Theater: Breaking the Guardrails of Convention, Andrew A. Anderson focuses on four of Lorca's most challenging plays-Amor de don Perlimplín con Belisa en su jardín, El público, Así que pasen cinco años, and El sueño de la vida (previously known as Comedia sin título)-and on the surrounding context in which they came to be written and in only one case performed during his lifetime. While none of Lorca's plays can be considered conventional, according to Anderson, some of them are nevertheless more approachable than others. The four considered here are the works that challenge theatrical conventions most forcefully, both thematically and technically. The introduction offers a brief overview of Lorca's entire dramatic output and the place within it of his four most experimental plays. The first chapter, "Staging the Unstageable," gives details concerning the chronology of the plays' composition, what Lorca had to say about them in newspaper interviews, and, most importantly, his numerous attempts to get what he called his "unperformable plays" actually performed. After a chapter on the pervasive role of undecidability in Amor de don Perlimplín, two further contextual chapters cover what Anderson considers the most significant factors that encouraged Lorca to continue experimenting in his dramatical works, namely his exposure to theater in New York over 1929-1930 and his increasing familiarity with expressionist drama that he both read and heard about from other theater professionals. From there, El público and Así que pasen cinco años each receive two chapters devoted to their themes and symbols, and the book ends with a final chapter on how audiences could experience a staging of El sueño de la vida. By synthesizing materials drawn from theatrical practice, artistic modernism, and the historical avant-garde, Lorca's Experimental Theater gives an integrated picture of this corpus by providing detailed readings of the plays, surveying their textual and performative history, and examining the most important contemporary influences on Lorca's creation of these expressive, innovative works"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La tercera edad de oro de la ficción televisiva ha favorecido la proliferación de series de gran despliegue técnico y a la vez de narrativas que describen la intimidad y la rutina cotidiana de los protagonistas. Son obras que nos presentan personajes alejados de la heroicidad, representados a menudo dentro del espacio doméstico, que ha pasado a ser un lugar clave para la descripción y evolución de los personajes. Partiendo de la premisa que la ficción televisiva desarrolla una clara función de referencia y legitimación social, creando estereotipos y modelos en los que los espectadores se identifican, este libro analiza veinte de las series contemporáneas más populares, reflexionando sobre el rol paternal y maternal de sus protagonistas. En algunas series se encuentran ejemplos que se alejan de la descripción de la familia patriarcal convencional. Destacamos así la pluralidad de discursos que se están ofreciendo, aunque también observamos que muchas de ellas, a pesar de un envoltorio transgresor, siguen reproduciendo roles que alimentan los valores familiares tradicionales.
Download or read book Spanish New York Narratives 1898 1936 written by David Miranda-Barreiro and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early decades of the twentieth century, New York caught the attention of Spanish writers. Many of them visited the city and returned to tell their experience in the form of a literary text. That is the case of Pruebas de Nueva York (1927) by Jose Moreno Villa (1887-1955), El crisol de las razas (1929) by Teresa de Escoriaza (1891-1968), Anticipolis (1931) by Luis de Oteyza (1883-1961) and La ciudad automatica (1932) by Julio Camba (1882-1962). In tune with similar representations in other European works, the image of New York given in these texts reflects the tensions and anxieties generated by the modernisation embodied by the United States. These authors project onto New York their concerns and expectations about issues of class, gender and ethnicity that were debated at the time, in the context of the crisis of Spanish national identity triggered by the end of the empire in 1898.

Download or read book Carmen de Burgos written by Abigail Lee Six and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-01 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a scholarly edition of three stories by Carmen de Burgos (1867-1932), including the unabridged texts, vocabulary, notes, chronology, bibliography, 'temas de debate y discusión', and a critical introduction. De Burgos, also known by her pen-name of 'Colombine', was an influential journalist, socio-political activist, and a key literary figure in the cultural ferment of pre-war Madrid. She is currently being rediscovered, having languished in a long and regrettable oblivion during the Franco years. Confidencias (1920) is the fictional diary of a young married woman, describing her first adulterous relationship and exploiting the narratological possibilities of the diary form. La mujer fría (1922) is a vampire story featuring perhaps the very first pitiable vampire, or at least one of the earliest examples of this type, whilst ingeniously maintaining undecidability as to whether the protagonist is supernatural. Puñal de claveles (1931) narrates a wedding-day elopement and was inspired by a news item, the so-called 'Crimen de Níjar' of 1928. Federico García Lorca drew on de Burgos's story and the real-life crime for his Bodas de sangre, but while his play is tragic, Puñal is bathed in a golden glow of nostalgia for the author's native Andalusia and ends optimistically. As well as making accessible three individually interesting and entertaining stories, this book offers a varied selection, with some of the issues closest to Colombine's heart tackled from different perspectives, but adding up to a coherent critique of marriage conventions, women's poor education, and prevailing ideals of femininity.
Download or read book Technology Mediated Service Encounters written by Pilar Garcés-Conejos Blitvich and published by John Benjamins Publishing Company. This book was released on 2019-01-10 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chapters in this collection, authored by renowned scholars, address a gap in the literature by focusing on the consequences that outsourcing, among other globalized economic practices, and remediation by new technologies have had on the service encounters genre (SE). From both a multilingual and a multidisciplinary perspective, this collection explores the development of technological applications and professional best practices as well as call centre interaction, e-commerce, and e-word of mouth. More specifically, the papers in this volume report on technology developed to support SEs and how this technology influences service providers and their allowable linguistic contributions. Further, this collection provides valuable insights on the language and strategic behaviour deployed in less researched kinds of SEs, gives special attention to how technology impacts the interface between the transactional and interactional goals of SEs, and thus has real world applications.
