Download or read book Avenues of Translation written by Regina Galasso and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2019-04-15 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2020 SAMLA Studies Book Award — Edited Collection Cities both near and far communicate in a variety of ways. Travel between, through, and among urban centers initiates contact, and cities themselves are sites of ever-changing cultural and historical encounters. Predictable and surprising challenges and opportunities arise when city borders are crossed, voices meet, and artistic traditions find their counterparts. Using the Latin word for “translation,” translatio, or “to carry across,” as a point of departure, Avenues of Translation explores how translation perpetuates, diversifies, deepens, and expands the literary production of cities in their greater cultural context, and how translation shapes an understanding of and access to a city's past and present literary and cultural practices. Thinking about translation and the city is a way to tell the backstories of the cities, texts, and authors that are united by acts of translation. Published by Bucknell University Press. Distributed worldwide by Rutgers University Press.
Download or read book Napole n written by Alexandre Dumas and published by Espuela de Plata. This book was released on 2012-11-22 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La historia de Napoleón ha dado lugar a una producción bibliográfica oceánica que ha invadido la literatura y la mitología más allá del campo específico de la historia. Verdaderamente, lo mismo entonces que después, el Emperador es un personaje que ha hecho soñar y ha inspirado a numerosos escritores y novelistas. Uno de ello es Alexandre Dumas, el autor de Los tres mosqueteros o El conde de Montecristo, cuyo padre fue general del propio Emperador, como fue el caso también de Victor Hugo. Con su biografía sobre Napoleón, escrita de forma esquemática, Dumas, anticipándose al regreso a Francia de las cenizas del Emperador en 1840, supo captar mejor que nadie la cresta de la ola del entusiasmo napoleónico para, de una forma breve, sencilla y fácil de leer, escribir en el momento justo el libro apropiado. Alexandre Dumas (Villers-Cotterêts, 1803-Puys, cerca de Dieppe, 1870) es uno de los autores más prolíficos y populares de la literatura europea. Hijo de un general a las órdenes de Napoleón, que más tarde llegaría a conspirar contra este. Sus comienzos literarios fueron en París, donde desde joven se sintió arrastrado por una intensa vocación hacia el teatro y el drama, y aunque escribió numerosas obras, su fama mundial la alcanzó con la novela histórica. Publicó un sinfín de títulos, convirtiéndose, según frase de Delarme, en «el más famoso de los folletinistas y en el más hábil falsificador de la Historia». Vendió libros a millones, llegando a manejar una enorme fortuna que no dudó en dilapidarse, pues es de sobra sabido que derrochó a manos llenas, en una vida de fastuoso escándalo: lujo, frenesí amoroso, banquetes y viajes fueron conduciendo a Dumas a la ruina total. Murió refugiado en casa de su hijo, también Alexandre, y autor de La dama de las camelias. Este, en una carta en la que describía la muerte de su padre, llegó a trazar, tal vez sin saberlo, la mejor y más sintética de sus semblanzas: «Ha muerto como ha vivido: sin darse cuenta». Manuel Moreno Alonso es catedrático de Historia Contemporánea en la Universidad de Sevilla. Historiador de la Guerra de la Independencia y del mundo napoleónico, es miembro de la International Napoleonic Society. Autor, entre otros libros, de una biografía de Napoleón (Napoleón. De ciudadano a emperador) y de su hermano José (José Bonaparte. Un republicano en el trono de España), así como de La verdadera historia del asedio napoleónico de Cádiz (1810-1812), ha realizado numerosas ediciones de texto de época. Ha prologado, entre otras obras, Los periódicos españoles de la Guerra de la Independencia de M. Gómez Ímaz, la Autobiografía de Palafox, Memorias de un boticario (Episodios de la Guerra de la Independencia) de S. Blaze, Memorias de un prisionero de guerra inglés en 1810 de A. T. Blayney, Memorias de un recluta de 1808 de L. F. Gille, o De la Guerra de la Independencia en Galicia de Andrés Martínez Salazar.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LA ESCALERA QUE TE LLEVARÁ DE REGRESO AL HOGAR Agustin Garcia Muñiz Hacia el año 2000, cuando se suponía que todo apuntaba para el fin del mundo y su humanidad por quinta ocasión, algo inesperado pasó que dejó en suspenso todos esos planes, para sorpresa de muchos y disgusto de algunos. Este cambio de planes se debió a importantes decisiones tomadas por las partes superiores de los seres humanos, quienes están a cargo de este planeta. Tal decisión consistió en optar por continuar por el camino de la evolución, antes que por el de la autodestrucción. Esto significa que esta humanidad ha decidido iniciar su proceso de ascension, junto con el del planeta Tierra. A partir de la cancelación de las catastróficas profecías, llegó la nueva energía al planeta, y con ella el cambio individual se volvió una prioridad, aunque no por ello obligatorio. Sin embargo, por diferencia de vibraciones, quienes no logren elevar suficientemente la suya, preferirían abandonar el planeta para posteriormente regresar en calidad de índigos, con lo que aceptar el cambio les será mucho más fácil. Muchas almas que han estado aquí en calidad de observadores, simplemente se irán para no volver pues su trabajo ha terminado. Para todo aquellos seres que se quedarán a apoyar el proceso de la ascension, les hemos preparado esta magnífica herramienta que hemos llamado la escalera, con la cual podrán ascender tan rápido como se lo propongan, en el menor tiempo posible. Cuando te decidas a subirla, con intención pura, te darás cuenta que al fin el rompecabezas de tu vida se empieza a armar, y una vez que la hayas subido, tendrás la sensación de haber llegado a descansar a tu dulce hogar luego de una ardua jornada. Por ahora yo me encuentro muy ocupado subiéndola, y te invito a que te abandones al cambio, y hagas lo mismo. ¡Tu vida jamás será la misma!

Download or read book Latin American Dramatists since 1945 written by Tony A. Harvell and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2003-09-30 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This resource compiles and locates biographical and bibliographical information of over 700 prominent Latin American dramatists of the late 20th century and their plays in 20 different countries, and it lists over 7,000 plays arranged by country and by author. Author biographies consist of year and place of birth, education, careers, other literary genres, and awards and prizes. The bibliographic listings include various editions of plays, followed by references to the plays in anthologies, collections, or periodicals. Latin American theater is rooted in the rich historical traditions of both the indigenous cultures of the region and those of Spain. In the second half of the 20th century, immigration to Latin America from Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia also proved influential, and theater became a means of social protest. The military and political dictatorships of the late 20th century often censored plays and persecuted playwrights.

Download or read book Indigenous Revolution in Ecuador and Bolivia 1990 2005 written by Jeffery M. Paige and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uprisings by indigenous peoples of Ecuador and Bolivia between 1990 and 2005 overthrew the five-hundred-year-old racial and class order inherited from the Spanish Empire. It started in Ecuador with the Great Indigenous Uprising, which was fought for cultural and economic rights. A few years later massive indigenous mobilizations began in Bolivia, culminating in 2005 with the election of Evo Morales, the first indigenous president. Jeffrey M. Paige, an internationally recognized authority on the sociology of revolutionary movements, interviewed forty-five indigenous leaders who were actively involved in the uprisings. The leaders recount how peaceful protest and electoral democracy paved the path to power. Through the interviews, we learn how new ideologies of indigenous socialism drew on the deep commonalities between the communal dreams of their ancestors and the modern ideology of democratic socialism. This new discourse spoke to the people most oppressed by both withering racism and neoliberal capitalism. Emphasizing mutual respect among ethnic groups (including the dominant Hispanic group), the new revolutionary dynamic proposes a communal worldview similar to but more inclusive than Western socialism because it adds indigenous cultures and nature in a spiritual whole. Although absent in the major revolutions of the past century, the themes of indigenous revolution—democracy, indigeneity, spirituality, community, and ecology—are critically important. Paige’s interviews present the powerful personal experiences and emotional intensity of the revolutionary leadership. They share the stories of mass mobilization, elections, and indigenous socialism that created a new form of twenty-first-century revolution with far-reaching applications beyond the Andes.
