Book excerpt: Bob Kaufman es poeta, beatnik y también negro. Un día escuchando música de jazz comenzó a escribir poesía. Había leído a los poetas malditos y a los existencialistas franceses, sin embargo; no era en esos momentos un poeta puro, pero la distancia entre lo blanco y lo negro no le impidió serlo. Kaufman tenía sólo una pretensión: escribir poesía. Quizá por eso llegó un poco tarde cuando ya el movimiento beat sacudía las calles de San Francisco y Ginsberg leía en voz alta el Aullido. Bob se detuvo un poco más pero escribió una obra fundamental y original que le valió el reconocimiento de sus contemporáneos Jack Kerouac y Gregory Corso. Bob seguía escuchando jazz, no podía dejar de hacerlo, como adrenalina recorría su palabra encontrando cause en la oralidad y el ritmo hasta desembocar en poemas que como dice Felinghetti: "Pensados especialmente para ser acompañados por música de jazz y en cuanto tales, deben ser considerados como mensajes orales dichos con espontaneidad más que como poemas escritos para la página impresa". Así que ya lo sabes, Bob pertenece a esta pléyade de originales y desasosegados poetas que buscándote nos encuentran, en esa sencilla experiencia del lenguaje de versos que reinventándose en cada momento parecen decirnos: ustedes son nosotros, acérquense, cantemos la liberta. Pero eso no es todo, a Bob Kaufman es la primera vez que lo traducen al español, así llega a México.

Download or read book Songs of Life and Hope Cantos de vida y esperanza written by Rubén Darío and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2004-03-29 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renowned for its depth of feeling and musicality, the poetry of Rubén Darío (1867–1916) has been revered by writers including Federico García Lorca, Pablo Neruda, and Octavio Paz. A leading figure in the movement known as modernismo, Darío created the modern Spanish lyric and permanently altered the course of Spanish poetry. Yet while his output has inspired a great deal of critical analysis and a scattering of translations, there has been, until now, no complete English translation of any of his books of poetry. This bilingual edition of Darío’s 1905 masterpiece, Cantos de vida y esperanza, fills a crucial gap in Hispanic and world literature studies. Will Derusha and Alberto Acereda have provided not only an elegant English translation of Darío’s work but also an authoritative version of the original Spanish text. Written over the course of seven years and in many locales in Latin America and Europe, the poems in Cantos de vida y esperanza reflect both Darío’s anguished sense of modern life and his ecstatic visions of transcendence, freedom, and the transformative power of art. They reveal Darío’s familiarity with Spanish, French, and English literature and the wide range of his concerns—existential, religious, erotic, and socio-political. Derusha and Acereda’s translation renders Darío’s themes with meticulous clarity and captures the structural and acoustic dimensions of the poet’s language in all its rhythmic sonority. Their introduction places this singular poet—arguably the greatest to emerge from Latin America in modern literature—and his best and most widely known work in historical and literary context. An extensive glossary offers additional information, explaining terms related to modernismo, Hispanic history, mythological allusions, and artists and writers prominent at the turn of the last century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exciting new collection of poems by “one of the Spanish-speaking world’s greatest living writers” (LA Review of Books) Self-Portrait in the Zone of Silence, by the renowned Mexican writer Homero Aridjis, is a brilliant collection of poems written in and for the new century. Aridjis seeks spiritual transformation through encounters with mythical animals, family ghosts, migrant workers, Mexico’s oppressed, female saints, other writers (such as Jorge Luis Borges and Philip Lamantia), and naked angels in the metro. We find tributes to Goya and Heraclitus, denunciations of drug traffickers and political figureheads, and unforgettable imaginary landscapes. As Aridjis himself writes: “a poem is like a door / we’ve never passed through...” And now past eighty, Aridjis reflects on the past and ponders the future. “Surrounded by light and the warbling of birds,” he writes, “I live in a state of poetry, because for me, being and making poetry are the same.”
Download or read book Malady and Genius written by Benigno Trigo and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2016-05-19 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analyzes the theme of self-sacrifice in Puerto Rican literature through psychoanalytic theory. Malady and Genius examines the recurring theme of self-sacrifice in Puerto Rican literature during the second half of the twentieth and the beginning of the twenty-first centuries. Interpreting these scenes through the works of Frantz Fanon, Kelly Oliver, and Julia Kristeva, Benigno Trigo focuses on the context of colonialism and explains the meaning of this recurring theme as a mode of survival under a colonial condition that has lasted more than five hundred years in the oldest colony in the world. Trigo engages a number of works in Latino and Puerto Rican studies that have of late reconsidered the value of a psychoanalytic approach to texts and cultural material, and also different methodologies including post-colonial theory, cultural studies, and queer studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EL NÚMERO SIETE ES LA EXPRESIÓN de algunas realidades naturales que nos rodean: las notas musicales, los colores del arcoíris, los días de la semana, los planetas que acompañan a la Tierra en el Sistema Solar, los continentes, y cada uno de estos últimos pueden seleccionarse siete montañas, siete islas y siete volcanes que destacan por su altura, situación geográfica y remotas regiones y lo aislado de su ubicación. En ello consiste el singular reto de la Trilogía Mundial. Completarlo requiere de escalar las siete cumbres más altas de los continentes, las cumbres de las siete islas más grandes y los siete volcanes más altos del mundo. CUMBRES Aconcagua, en Argentina Kilimanjaro, en Tanzania Denali, en Alaska Elbrus, en Rusia Carstensz, en Irian Jaya, y Kosciuszko, en Australia Vinson, en la Antártida Everest, en la frontera de Nepal y el Tíbet. CUMBRES DE ISLAS Kerinci, en Sumatra Kinabalu, en Malasia Wilhelm, en Nueva Guinea Fuji, en Japón Tête Blanche, en Baffin Gunnbjørn Fjeld, en Groenlandia Maromokotro y Ben Nevis, en Madagascar y Gran Bretaña VOLCANES Pico de Orizaba, en México Nevado Ojos del Salado, en Chile Elbrus, en Rusia Damavand, en Irán Giluwe, en Papúa Nueva Guinea Kilimanjaro, en Tanzania Sidley, en Antártida Lo más singular de este reto es el hecho de que, hasta el momento, solo el guatemalteco Jaime Viñals lo ha completado (añadiendo cumbres, como la del monte Kosciuszko en Australia y el monte Ben Nevis, en Gran Bretaña, por falta de consensos de su altitud). Puede que el número siete esté rodeado de un misticismo de perfección o divinidad, pero para el autor, han sido la determinación y perseverancia las virtudes que lo han ayudado a completar el reto, pues entre 1995 y el 2023, su conquista de cumbres constante ha sido un recorrido de veintiocho años de planeación y esfuerzos incansables. Esta obra es, pues, no solo la celebración de un éxito sin precedentes y la narración de experiencias con las que la mayoría de nosotros solo soñamos, sino también un testimonio de que cada cima requiere una cuota de sacrificios y el recordatorio de que no existen caminos en línea recta perpetua, y que altibajos, sudor y lágrimas pavimentan cada uno de ellos. Ojalá este compendio de diarios de ascensión inspire a más de uno a alcanzar las cimas de su propio recorrido, con los ojos fijos en la meta trazada.
Download or read book Into the Mainstream written by Jorge Febles and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-03-26 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Into the Mainstream: Essays on Spanish American and Latino Literature and Culture is a direct outgrowth of Jorge Febles’s involvement with the annual conference of the American Culture Association and the Popular Culture Association. In that sense, the compilation expands on a project initiated in 1993 by Helen Ryan-Ransom with her book Imagination, Emblems and Expressions: Essays on Latin American, Caribbean, and Continental Culture and Identity (Bowling Green, Ohio: Bowling Green State University Popular Press, 1993). David William Foster, who penned a lengthy preface to that collection, justified its intent by underscoring: “The very fact that our approach to culture is dominated by categories based on high, academic, institutionalized phenomena poses from the very outset the question of how to deal with all those other cultural manifestations that do not comfortably assimilate to the accepted canon” (Ryan-Ransom 3). The past fourteen years, however, have witnessed a radical transformation of that so-called canon due to the widespread acceptance of ideas espoused by cultural theorists like García Canclini, Homi Bhabba, Said, Stuart Hall, Benhabib, Bourdieu and countless others. Therefore, the ambivalence regarding what constitutes culture identified by Foster is inoperative nowadays to a substantial degree. In fact, a fundamental component of the postmodern outlook resides in the ability to blend comfortably the high and the low, the elitist and the popular realms of production in a multiplicity of textual artifacts, creative as well as critical in nature. Hence, the essays that conform Into the Mainstream do not question barriers anymore, nor do they expound on the need to assign a discursive intellectual space to matters pertaining to popular culture. Thus, this collection espouses an inclusive approach in which a variety of analytical approaches coalesce to reflect on an equally kaleidoscopic textuality. Pursuant to its comprehensive nature, Into the Mainstream airs established as well as developing critical voices so as to reflect both ideological continuity and evolving viewpoints. Scholars who have compiled strong academic records like Hortensia Morell, Raquel Rivas Rojas, Elsa Gilmore, David Petreman and Benjamín Torres Caballero share a venue with younger critics like Corey Shouse Tourino, Roberto Vela Córdova, Stacy Hoult, Eduardo del Río, Bruce Campbell, Laura Redruello, Dinora Cardoso and April Marshall, as well as with two graduate students about to complete their academic preparation: Nuria Ibáñez Quintana and María Teresa Vera Rojas. The result is an eclectic compilation meant to elicit discussion on the basis of its variety. Into the Mainstream’s primordial objective is to place these provocative essays—which are expanded versions of papers presented during the annual gathering of the American Culture Association and the Popular Culture Association in the period 2002-2005—along with the numerous subjects they treat in the academic mainstream where they rightfully belong.
Download or read book Medical Cultures of the Early Modern Spanish Empire written by John Slater and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-29 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early modern Spain was a global empire in which a startling variety of medical cultures came into contact, and occasionally conflict, with one another. Spanish soldiers, ambassadors, missionaries, sailors, and emigrants of all sorts carried with them to the farthest reaches of the monarchy their own ideas about sickness and health. These ideas were, in turn, influenced by local cultures. This volume tells the story of encounters among medical cultures in the early modern Spanish empire. The twelve chapters draw upon a wide variety of sources, ranging from drama, poetry, and sermons to broadsheets, travel accounts, chronicles, and Inquisitorial documents; and it surveys a tremendous regional scope, from Mexico, to the Canary Islands, the Iberian Peninsula, Italy, and Germany. Together, these essays propose a new interpretation of the circulation, reception, appropriation, and elaboration of ideas and practices related to sickness and health, sex, monstrosity, and death, in a historical moment marked by continuous cross-pollination among institutions and populations with a decided stake in the functioning and control of the human body. Ultimately, the volume discloses how medical cultures provided demographic, analytical, and even geographic tools that constituted a particular kind of map of knowledge and practice, upon which were plotted: the local utilities of pharmacological discoveries; cures for social unrest or decline; spaces for political and institutional struggle; and evolving understandings of monstrousness and normativity. Medical Cultures of the Early Modern Spanish Empire puts the history of early modern Spanish medicine on a new footing in the English-speaking world.
