Download or read book Mi Cuajara written by Lola M. Laben and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-10-05 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1960s don’t seem that long ago to many of us. Given how crowded and closely connected the world of the present is, it’s hard to imagine there were places then that had been settled and cultivated for four hundred years but, as recently as the 1980’s, had no electricity, no plumbing, and very little traffic except for horses, donkeys, and (mostly bare) feet. The valley of the Rio Mira in Ecuador was such a place. Jesuit priests brought slaves - including Lola Laben’s ancestors - to farm sugarcane almost four hundred years ago. Slavery was abolished, but the work continued. Agrarian reform came, Lola’s parents became land owners, and the work continued. Lola was born in a mud house identical to the ones her slave ancestors had been born in for generations. She helped her parents farm a little farther downriver in the same manner that her ancestors had farmed. She explored her tropical paradise and wondered about faraway places and listened to the news of the outside world: the world beyond her valley and the city where the train came to and from three times a week. Fate determined that the outside world would find her, and she now resides in the most thoroughly modern and up-to-date nation on the planet. Guess what? Her childhood was full of wonder, beauty, adventure, and freedom even though survival was less certain. This book recounts the world that Lola was born into and how her heritage prepared her to meet the challenges of her future.

Download or read book Sex Ecologies written by Stefanie Hessler and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2021-11-23 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first compendium of writing and art to present the case for the role of sex in environmental and social justice. Sex Ecologies explores pleasure, affect, and the powers of the erotic in the human and more-than-human worlds. Arguing for the positive and constructive role of sex in ecology and art practice, these texts and artistic research projects attempt nothing short of reclaiming the sexual from Western erotophobia and heteronormative narratives of nature and reproduction. The artists and writers set out to examine queer ecology through the lens of environmental humanities, investigating the fluid boundaries between bodies (both human and nonhuman), between binary conceptions of nature as separate from culture, and between disciplines. In newly commissioned texts from such writers as Mel Y. Chen and Jack Halberstam and a selection of influential essays—including an annotated version of Audre Lorde’s “The Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power”—as well as images and sketches from works in progress by a diverse group of artists, Sex Ecologies combines insights from the fields of art, environmental humanities, ecofeminism, gender studies, science, technology, political science, and indigenous studies. Sex Ecologies, which accompanies an exhibition of the same name at Kunsthall Trondheim, emerges from an arts-driven research project collaboratively developed between the art center and the Seed Box environmental humanities collaboratory. Conceived not as a result but as a seed arising from this transdisciplinary fertilization, the volume presents a case for the role of sex in environmental and social justice. Copublished with Kunsthall Trondheim (Norway) and the Seed Box (Sweden)

Download or read book Greeks and Romans on the Latin American Stage written by Rosa Andújar and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-01-09 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive treatment in English of the rich and varied afterlife of classical drama across Latin America, this volume explores the myriad ways in which ancient Greek and Roman texts have been adapted, invoked and re-worked in notable modern theatrical works across North and South America and the Caribbean, while also paying particular attention to the national and local context of each play. A comprehensive introduction provides a critical overview of the varying issues and complexities that arise when studying the afterlife of the European classics in the theatrical stages across this diverse and vast region. Fourteen chapters, divided into three general geographical sub-regions (Southern Cone, Brazil and the Caribbean and North America) present a strong connection to an ancient dramatic source text as well as comment upon important socio-political crises in the modern history of Latin America. The diversity and expertise of the voices in this volume translate into a multi-ranging approach to the topic that encompasses a variety of theoretical and interdisciplinary perspectives from classics, Latin American studies and theatre and performance studies.

Book excerpt: En Torrechica, un pueblo extremeño colindante con Cáceres y Badajoz, el amor apasionado y casi enfermizo de Diego por Aurora no es correspondido por esta, sin embargo la hija de la vecina de su madre, Blanca, y amiga de esta, ha empezando a enamorarse del chico, pero le resulta imposible hacer que Diego olvide a su amiga. Lo que no se imagina Blanca es que Miguel Solano, el hermano de Diego, hombre rudo y cuyo único objetivo en la vida es cumplir la promesa de venganza que hizo hace treinta años, suspira a cada momento por la chica. En este ambiente se mueven estos seres, la mayoría de los cuales viven del rencor de tiempos pasados: Pepa Fuentes dueña de un burdel y enamorada de Miguel Solano, aunque sabe que nunca podrá conseguir su amor; Paloma, la hija del alcalde y hermana de Aurora, mujer frívola que maneja a los hombres a su antojo hasta la llegada de Diego, y Don Leandro, el Alcalde, que guarda un terrible secreto que su mujer, Doña Pilar, llegará a descubrir.

Todos quieren probar el sabor dulce de las Fresas, que para ellos significa vengarse de los que un día les arruinaron la vida, pero cuando lo logran se dan cuenta que las Fresas en vez de dulces son amargas, como lo es toda clase de venganza.
