Download or read book Cuba s Revolutionary World written by Jonathan C. Brown and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2017-04-24 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On January 2, 1959, Fidel Castro, the rebel comandante who had just overthrown Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista, addressed a crowd of jubilant supporters. Recalling the failed popular uprisings of past decades, Castro assured them that this time “the real Revolution” had arrived. As Jonathan Brown shows in this capacious history of the Cuban Revolution, Castro’s words proved prophetic not only for his countrymen but for Latin America and the wider world. Cuba’s Revolutionary World examines in forensic detail how the turmoil that rocked a small Caribbean nation in the 1950s became one of the twentieth century’s most transformative events. Initially, Castro’s revolution augured well for democratic reform movements gaining traction in Latin America. But what had begun promisingly veered off course as Castro took a heavy hand in efforts to centralize Cuba’s economy and stamp out private enterprise. Embracing the Soviet Union as an ally, Castro and his lieutenant Che Guevara sought to export the socialist revolution abroad through armed insurrection. Castro’s provocations inspired intense opposition. Cuban anticommunists who had fled to Miami found a patron in the CIA, which actively supported their efforts to topple Castro’s regime. The unrest fomented by Cuban-trained leftist guerrillas lent support to Latin America’s military castes, who promised to restore stability. Brazil was the first to succumb to a coup in 1964; a decade later, military juntas governed most Latin American states. Thus did a revolution that had seemed to signal the death knell of dictatorship in Latin America bring about its tragic opposite.

Download or read book In the Dust of This Planet written by Eugene Thacker and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2011-08-26 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 Amazon Best Seller in Philosophy Criticism. The world is increasingly unthinkable, a world of planetary disasters, emerging pandemics, and the looming threat of extinction. In this book Eugene Thacker suggests that we look to the genre of horror as offering a way of thinking about the unthinkable world. To confront this idea is to confront the limit of our ability to understand the world in which we live – a central motif of the horror genre. In the Dust of This Planet explores these relationships between philosophy and horror. In Thacker's hands, philosophy is not academic logic-chopping; instead, it is the thought of the limit of all thought, especially as it dovetails into occultism, demonology, and mysticism. Likewise, Thacker takes horror to mean something beyond the focus on gore and scare tactics, but as the under-appreciated genre of supernatural horror in fiction, film, comics, and music. This relationship between philosophy and horror does not mean the philosophy of horror, if anything, it means the reverse, the horror of philosophy: those moments when philosophical thinking enigmatically confronts the horizon of its own existence. For Thacker, the genre of supernatural horror is the key site in which this paradoxical thought of the unthinkable takes place. The cover of In the Dust of this Planet can be seen in a New York gallery, on a banner at the 2014 Climate Change march in New York and on Jay-Z's back promoting Run. The book influenced the writers of the US TV series True Detective and has been lambasted by ex-Fox News broadcaster, Glenn Beck in this podcast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IW8OK4_1gQ

Download or read book Un caniche blanco muerto written by Luis Gutiérrez Maluenda and published by Literaturas Com Libros. This book was released on with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Benito Céspedes es un investigador privado que sobrevive en la Barcelona actual a fuerza de hacer trabajos de poca monta: principalmente, husmear en asuntos de adulterio. Abstemio, no fumador y poco amigo de la violencia (y con un extraordinario sentido del humor), Céspedes discurre por la profesión de detective sin pretender llamar mucho la atención… hasta que, de pronto, un salvaje asesinato que incumbe a los peores elementos de la ciudad le obliga a incursionarse en un terreno que nunca hubiera sospechado. Narrada con un estilo agilísimo y, sobre todo, con unos diálogos especialmente brillantes y un humor magnífico, "Un caniche blanco muerto" es una novedosa revisión del viejo mito del detective privado. Se trata de contemplar un oficio tan literario a ras de tierra, en medio del trasiego cotidiano que si bien hace descender la épica varios grados, confiere a la narración un verismo y una veracidad que justifica cada página. La pequeña odisea de Benito Céspedes por conseguir secretaria, entenderse con su socio, investigar en un campo de chumberas… es un soplo de aire fresco sobre los clichés de la novela negra y, sobre todo, da pie a una obra muy divertida y, cómo no, una obra que mantiene la tensión.

Download or read book Starry Speculative Corpse written by Eugene Thacker and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2015-04-24 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Could it be that the more we know about the world, the less we understand it? Could it be that, while everything has been explained, nothing has meaning? Extending the ideas presented in his book In The Dust of This Planet, Eugene Thacker explores these and other issues in Starry Speculative Corpse. But instead of using philosophy to define or to explain the horror genre, Thacker reads works of philosophy as if they were horror stories themselves, revealing a rift between human beings and the unhuman world of which they are part. Along the way we see philosophers grappling with demons, struggling with doubt, and wrestling with an indifferent cosmos. At the center of it all is the philosophical drama of the human being confronting its own limits. Not a philosophy of horror, but a horror of philosophy. Thought that stumbles over itself, as if at the edge of an abyss. Starry Speculative Corpse is the second volume of the "Horror of Philosophy" trilogy, together with the first volume, In The Dust of This Planet, and the third volume, Tentacles Longer Than Night.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A finales del siglo XIX Inglaterra experimenta la época dorada de la bicicleta; más accesible y segura, deja de ser un medio de transporte y ocio restringido a burgueses y se convierte en una "máquina de libertad" para bolsillos menos pudientes. Las mujeres, en su mayoría confinadas al hogar, tampoco dejarán pasar esta oportunidad. Ruedas de Fortuna es una novela que explora los cambios sociales que provoca la irrupción de la bicicleta en una rígida sociedad victoriana a través de Hoopdriver, dependiente en un comercio de telas de Londres quien, sin apenas saber manejar una bicicleta, decide realizar un viaje por el sur de Inglaterra. En el camino se cruzará con una joven ciclista de ideas avanzadas que le hará cambiar de planes. Una aventura narrada con humor altamente británico por un Wells que conoció de primera mano esos caminos.
Download or read book Tentacles Longer Than Night written by Eugene Thacker and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2015-04-24 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our contemporary horror stories are written in a world where there seems little faith, lost hope, and no salvation. All that remains is the fragmentary and occasionally lyrical testimony of the human being struggling to confront its lack of reason for being in the vast cosmos. This is the terrain of the horror genre. Eugene Thacker explores this situation in Tentacles Longer Than Night. Extending the ideas presented in his book In The Dust of This Planet, Thacker considers the relationship between philosophy and the horror genre. But instead of taking fiction as the mere illustration of ideas, Thacker reads horror stories as if they themselves were works of philosophy, driven by a speculative urge to question human knowledge and the human-centric view of the world, ultimately leading to the limit of the human - thought undermining itself, in thought. Tentacles Longer Than Night is the third volume of the "horror of philosophy" trilogy, together with the first volume, In The Dust of This Planet, and the second volume, Starry Speculative Corpse.
