Download or read book Diccionario de s mbolos y mitos written by José Antonio Pérez-Rioja and published by Tecnos Editorial S A. This book was released on 2007-08 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En esta obra se intenta recoger -de forma concisa y expresiva- la significación simbólica, los valores arquetípicos o representativos de seres reales; de figuras bíblica, mitológicas y literarias; de la liturgia, de conceptos abstractos; de hechos o tipos históricos y legendarios; del espacio y del tiempo; del mundo físico, zoológico y vegetal; de los números, los colores y las cosas más diversas. Cielo y tierra, ideas y objetos, seres reales y entes de ficción, todo lo que posee, en fin, una significación mítica y simbólica. El tema es tan extenso y tan obvio como el universo, como la vida misma. Si en cualquier estudio es difícil obtener resultados exhaustivos, en el que nos ocupa es imposible, dada la diversidad y pluralidad de valores simbólicos diseminados por el mundo físico y el mundo del espíritu. De todas formas son más de mil quinientos conceptos recogidos, pudiéndose afirmar que el volumen reúne el temario complero que reclaman la Mitología y la Simbología. La obra sigue una ordenación general alfabética, para su más fácil manejo; no obstante, se ofrece también una clasificación temática que permite reconocer la panorámica de los mitos y símbolos que guardan afinidad. En numerosos casos, se ha creído conveniente ilustrar ciertos símbolos con ilustraciones, buena parte de las cuales corresponden a obras maestras del arte universal. Imágenes, en general, que contribuyen a matizar o enriquecer la interpretación que de algunos mitos y motivos simbólicos puede extraerse de una sola lectura.

Download or read book Judas at the Jockey Club and Other Episodes of Porfirian Mexico written by William H. Beezley and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This brilliant and eminently readable cultural history looks at Mexican life during the dictatorship of Porfirio D�az, from 1876 to 1911. At that time Mexico underwent modernization, which produced a fierce struggle between the traditional and the new and exacerbating class antagonisms. In these pages, the noted historian William H. Beezley illuminates many facets of everyday Mexican life lying at the heart of this conflict and change, including sports, storytelling, healthcare, technology, and the traditional Easter-time Judas burnings that became a primary focus of the strife during those years. This second edition features a new preface by the author as well as updated and expanded text, notes, and bibliography.

Download or read book One World Periphery Reads the Other written by Ignacio López-Calvo and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-12-14 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While Said focused on the perceptions and stereotypes of the Near East “Oriental” in England, France and the United States, most of these essays study the decentering interplay between “peripheral” areas of the Third World, “semiperipheral” areas (Spain and Portugal since the second part of the seventeenth century), and marginalized social groups of the globe (Chicanos, African Americans, and Filipino Americans). They explore, for example, how China and the Far East in general are imagined and represented in Latin America and the Caribbean, or how ethnic minorities in the United States, such as Chicanos and African Americans, incorporate Filipino characters in their novels or creolize their music with Chinese influences. As the title of this book suggests, sometimes these “peripheral” areas and social groups talk back to the metropolitan centers of the former empires or look for their mediation, while others they avoid the interference of the First World or of hegemonic social groups altogether in order to address other “peripheral” peoples directly, thus creating rich “South-South” cross-cultural flows and exchanges. The main difference between the imperialistic orientalism studied by Said and this other type of global cultural interaction is that while, in their engagement with the “Orient,” they may be reproducing certain imperialistic fantasies and mental structures, typically there is not an ethnocentric process of self-idealization or an attempt to demonstrate cultural, ontological, or racial superiority in “South-South” intellectual and cultural exchanges. This way to de-center or to “provincialize” Europe—pace Dipesh Chakrabarty—disrupts the traditional center-periphery dichotomy, bringing about multiple and interchangeable centers and peripheries, whose cultures interact with one another without the mediation of the European and North American metropolitan centers.

Download or read book Nature in the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Times written by Albrecht Classen and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2024-07-01 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of pre-modern anthropology requires the close examination of the relationship between nature and human society, which has been both precarious and threatening as well as productive, soothing, inviting, and pleasurable. Much depends on the specific circumstances, as the works by philosophers, theologians, poets, artists, and medical practitioners have regularly demonstrated. It would not be good enough, as previous scholarship has commonly done, to examine simply what the various writers or artists had to say about nature. While modern scientists consider just the hard-core data of the objective world, cultural historians and literary scholars endeavor to comprehend the deeper meaning of the concept of nature presented by countless writers and artists. Only when we have a good grasp of the interactions between people and their natural environment, are we in a position to identify and interpret mental structures, social and economic relationships, medical and scientific concepts of human health, and the messages about all existence as depicted in major art works. In light of the current conditions threatening to bring upon us a global crisis, it matters centrally to take into consideration pre-modern discourses on nature and its enormous powers to understand the topoi and tropes determining the concepts through which we perceive nature. Nature thus proves to be a force far beyond all human comprehensibility, being both material and spiritual depending on our critical approaches.

This book was released on 2009-02-01 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is an honor for us to introduce this collection of essays, which is dedicated to an old friend and colleague who is no longer with us. It is an honor, but also a pleasure because we feel like continuing a dialogue with Jürgen; one that has never broken down over the years, revisiting and recalling the diff- ent places and occasions where we met, discussed, collaborated and had fun. We, that is, Giuseppe Caforio, Christopher Dandeker and Gerhard Kümmel who have been friends and/or colleagues of and research collaborators with Jürgen and who represent three prominent institutions and organizations with which Jürgen worked, felt that this book is something we owe to Jürgen and we are grateful that many people who at different times and at different places had contact with Jürgen and his work were willing to contribute a chapter to this anthology. Most of Jürgen’s studies, professional work and research activities took place at the Bundeswehr Institute of Social Sciences (SOWI). Jürgen, born in 1938, had joined the Bundeswehr in 1957 and had already worked at the SOWI’s predecessor institution, the Scientific Institute for Education in the Armed Forces from 1971 onwards after having finished his university? st- ies. Since this institute was renamed SOWI in 1974, Jürgen belonged to the first generation of researchers that worked at the SOWI.
