Download or read book Nobility of Spirit written by Rob Riemen and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Riemen insists that if we hope to move beyond the war on terror and create a life-affirming culture, we must address timeless but neglected questions: What is a good society? Why art? Why culture? What is the responsibility of intellectuals? Why anti-Americanism? Why nihilism? Why the cult of death of fundamentalists? In a series of three essays, the author identifies nobility of spirit in the life and work of Baruch Spinoza and of Thomas Mann; explores the quest for the good society in our own time; and addresses the pursuit of truth and freedom that engaged figures as disparate as Socrates and Leone Ginzburg, a Jewish Italian intellectual murdered by Nazis."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Havana 500 Anniversary Habana 500 Aniversario written by Andres R Rodriguez and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-29 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HAVANA'S HISTORY AT A GLANCE: San Cristóbal de La Habana was founded in 1519. The city began as a small collection of huts that eventually became the Spanish Empire's main naval station in the world. La Habana became a thriving, entrepreneurial port, the Caribbean's lighthouse-city, within the colonial Spanish Caribbean, due to its excellent harbor and strategic position facing the Gulf Stream. In 1553, Havana became the island's capital. In the 16th century and beginning of the 17th the city was attacked and besieged on several occasions by French, British and Dutch pirates, which catalyzed the construction of defenses, including massive walls. Its occupation by the British in 1762 led to Havana being exchanged for Florida, an indication of the high value the King of Spain placed on it. The King ordered the reinforcement of its fortifications to the highest possible level. Havana thus became the best protected of the ports in Spanish America. By 1810 the Spanish Main was imploding, and Havana ceased to be a must-stop trading post. Cuba remained part of Spain until 1898, perhaps because of its amazing wealth, its siege fortress tradition and extreme militarization. The country's destiny after 1898 was closely linked to the United States. As the largest of the islands in continental proximity between the subtropics and the tropics, and between English and Spanish America, Cuba was surrounded and affected by different socio-political trends. All this adds exoticism to Havana's urban culture. Its architecture includes buildings of great visual and cultural impact: Castillo del Morro (Morro Castle), Palacio del Segundo Cabo (Palace of the Second Corporal), Palacio de los Capitanes Generales (Captains-General Palace) or the Capitolio (Capitol Building). Havana, the "Paris of the Caribbean," was destined to become a place of refuge, a creative, hospitable, open and cosmopolitan city. As sweat turned into stone and mortar, a local way life, open to the world, became the distinguished trait of Habaneros as good hosts. On its flagpoles would wave proudly the flags of Spain, Britain, the U.S., and finally, Cuba. The sense of Cuban nationality was built around the concept of Havana, as presaged by the mass conducted at the site called El Templete in 1519. Perhaps more than a nationality, what the old stones of Havana exude is global universality.
Download or read book Gore Capitalism written by Sayak Valencia and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2018-04-20 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An analysis of contemporary violence as the new commodity of today's hyper-consumerist stage of capitalism. “Death has become the most profitable business in existence.” —from Gore Capitalism Written by the Tijuana activist intellectual Sayak Valencia, Gore Capitalism is a crucial essay that posits a decolonial, feminist philosophical approach to the outbreak of violence in Mexico and, more broadly, across the global regions of the Third World. Valencia argues that violence itself has become a product within hyper-consumerist neoliberal capitalism, and that tortured and mutilated bodies have become commodities to be traded and utilized for profit in an age of impunity and governmental austerity. In a lucid and transgressive voice, Valencia unravels the workings of the politics of death in the context of contemporary networks of hyper-consumption, the ups and downs of capital markets, drug trafficking, narcopower, and the impunity of the neoliberal state. She looks at the global rise of authoritarian governments, the erosion of civil society, the increasing violence against women, the deterioration of human rights, and the transformation of certain cities and regions into depopulated, ghostly settings for war. She offers a trenchant critique of masculinity and gender constructions in Mexico, linking their misogynist force to the booming trade in violence. This book is essential reading for anyone seeking to analyze the new landscapes of war. It provides novel categories that allow us to deconstruct what is happening, while proposing vital epistemological tools developed in the convulsive Third World border space of Tijuana.
Download or read book Open Veins of Latin America written by Eduardo Galeano and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its U.S. debut a quarter-century ago, this brilliant text has set a new standard for historical scholarship of Latin America. It is also an outstanding political economy, a social and cultural narrative of the highest quality, and perhaps the finest description of primitive capital accumulation since Marx. Rather than chronology, geography, or political successions, Eduardo Galeano has organized the various facets of Latin American history according to the patterns of five centuries of exploitation. Thus he is concerned with gold and silver, cacao and cotton, rubber and coffee, fruit, hides and wool, petroleum, iron, nickel, manganese, copper, aluminum ore, nitrates, and tin. These are the veins which he traces through the body of the entire continent, up to the Rio Grande and throughout the Caribbean, and all the way to their open ends where they empty into the coffers of wealth in the United States and Europe. Weaving fact and imagery into a rich tapestry, Galeano fuses scientific analysis with the passions of a plundered and suffering people. An immense gathering of materials is framed with a vigorous style that never falters in its command of themes. All readers interested in great historical, economic, political, and social writing will find a singular analytical achievement, and an overwhelming narrative that makes history speak, unforgettably. This classic is now further honored by Isabel Allende's inspiring introduction. Universally recognized as one of the most important writers of our time, Allende once again contributes her talents to literature, to political principles, and to enlightenment.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While many professional translators believe the ability to translate is a gift that one either has or does not have, Allison Beeby Lonsdale questions this view. In her innovative book, Beeby Lonsdale demonstrates how teachers can guide their students by showing them how insights from communication theory, discourse analysis, pragmatics, and semiotics can illuminate the translation process. Using Spanish to English translation as her example, she presents the basic principles of translation through 29 teaching units, which are prefaced by objectives, tasks, and commentaries for the teacher, and through 48 task sheets, which show how to present the material to students. Published in English.
