Download or read book Murillo y su estela en Sevilla written by Fernando Quiles García and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Uno de los aspectos más necesitados de investigación y revisión es precisamente el de los discípulos de Murillo. Tanto Diego Angulo como Enrique Valdivieso han señalado en sus respectivos catálogos razonados que es precisamente en los discípulos de Murillo como Pedro Núñez de Villavicencio, Juan Simón Gutiérrez, Sebastián Gómez 'el mulato', Francisco Meneses Osorio, Esteban Márquez y en el XVIII Ruiz Soriano, Domingo Martínez hasta Juan de Espinal donde todavía perduran los ecos del murillismo. Estudiar con rigor y con un discurso nuevo, absolutamente renovador, la perduración de los modelos murillescos y el funcionamiento de la academia sevillana, es una de las asignaturas pendientes de la investigación histórico-artística. Sería una ocasión única para arrojar luz a este complicado mundo que está virtualmente inédito."--publisher's description.
Download or read book Historical Dictionary of the dirty Wars written by David R. Kohut and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2010 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlike a conventional war waged against a standing army, a "dirty war" is waged against individuals, groups, or ideas considered subversive. Originally associated with Argentina's military regime from 1976-1983, the term has since been applied to neighboring dictatorships during the period. Indeed, it has become a byword for state-sponsored repression anywhere in the world. The first edition of this reference illustrated the concept by describing the regimes of Argentina, Chile (1973-1990), and Uruguay (1973-1985), which tortured, murdered, and disappeared thousands of people in the name of anticommunism while thousands more were driven into exile. The second edition expands the scope to include Bolivia (1971-1982), Brazil (1964-1985), and Paraguay (1954-1989). Includes a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and over 400 cross-referenced dictionary entries on the countries; guerrilla and political movements; prominent guerrilla, human-rights, military, and political figures; local, regional, and international human-rights organizations; and artistic figures (filmmakers, novelists, and playwrights) whose works attempt to represent or resist the period of repression.--Publisher.
Download or read book Marvelous Encounters written by Willard Bohn and published by Bucknell University Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of poesie critique - poetry that possesses both a poetic and a critical function - has an extensive history in modern literature. Written in response to another work of art, be it a painting, a film, a poem, or a piece of music, the critical poem comments on the latter in various ways but refuses to abandon its poetic mission. Marvelous Encounters examines surrealist poets writing in French, Spanish, and Catalan who experimented with this intriguing genre. The first three chapters are concerned with the French surrealists, who began to cultivate critical poetry toward the end of World War I. Chapter 2 considers how Louis Aragon and Philippe Soupault appropriated the critical poem, as they reviewed books of poetry and films starring Charlie Chaplin. Chapter 3, which examines how Benjamin Peret and Paul Eluard conceived of critical poetry, analyzes their response to poems by Tristan Tzara and paintings by Giorgio de Chirico and Joan Miro. Chapter 4 is devoted entirely to Andre Breton.

Download or read book Guevara Also Known as Che written by Paco Ignacio Taibo (II) and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 1999-08-19 with total page 710 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mexican novelist and historian Paco Ignacio Taibo II here captures the life and character of Che Guevara, the preeminent Latin-American revolutionary of the late twentieth century. The symbol of radical egalitarianism and the war against social injustice, Guevara was gunned down in the jungles of southeastern Bolivia in 1967, his death surrounded by questions that remain unanswered. In the years since he died, fascination with Che and his independent and pragmatic brand of Guerilla Marxism have become increasingly focused. Taibo, whose extensive contacts in Latin American political activism gives him unprecedented access to hitherto untapped sources, probes Che's life with a storyteller's pen and an historian's judgment. Delving into vast archives to which few researchers have entry, Taibo investigates the mystery and myth surrounding Che's life, careers, and ideals.

Download or read book The Re enchantment of the World written by Joshua Landy and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Re-Enchantment of the World is an interdisciplinary volume that challenges the long-prevailing view of modernity as "disenchanted." There is of course something to the widespread idea, so memorably put into words by Max Weber, that modernity is characterized by the "progressive disenchantment of the world." Yet what is less often recognized is the fact that a powerful counter-tendency runs alongside this one, an overwhelming urge to fill the vacuum left by departed convictions, and to do so without invoking superseded belief systems. In fact, modernity produces an array of strategies for re-enchantment, each fully compatible with secular rationality. It has to, because God has many "aspects"--or to put it in more secular terms, because traditional religion offers so much in so many domains. From one thinker to the next, the question of just what, in religious enchantment, needs to be replaced in a secular world receives an entirely different answer. Now, for the first time, many of these strategies are laid out in a single volume, with contributions by specialists in literature, history, and philosophy.
Download or read book El Huerfanito written by Victor Enr Quez and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En esta narración puse todo mi empeño en contar las fantasías y costumbres de la población, y con muchas verdades que vislumbra en los estratos más sensibles de la localidad. La historia del maléfico y terrible: "Pombero", que es un verdadero espíritu, aunque a veces se presenta como fantasía. Como verán lo que sucedió a una joven de 14 año de edad, de la que se puede palpar minuciosamente lo sucedido a ella, y además con un niño recién nacido de madre desconocida, que lleva como único nombre conocido, como "El Huerfanito" en un populoso y nutrido pueblo llamado "San Jaimito de la Misión". El Huerfanito es una de las tanta historia verdadera que con mucho dolor llegó a ser parte de una historia del abuso familiar y social del lugar, y como novela dramática se presenta para el relato los ingredientes literarios, además ni corta ni extensa se presenta, en la que volcado todo mi entusiasmo de lo palpado y visto. Para caracterizar una serie de personajes, que a veces parecen escapados del paraíso, y otras veces del mismo infierno, aunque siempre tienen algo que decir y enseñar desde el principio hasta el fin lo mucho que sucedió en ese lugar. Además están escritas con la intención real de provocar el suspenso y mantener la atención del lector en todo el desarrollo de la trama, que es a la vez fascinante y evocadora, para llevar un buen recuerdo del contenido literario.

Download or read book In Praise of Forgetting written by David Rieff and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A leading contrarian thinker explores the ethical paradox at the heart of history's wounds The conventional wisdom about historical memory is summed up in George Santayana's celebrated phrase, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Today, the consensus that it is moral to remember, immoral to forget, is nearly absolute. And yet is this right? David Rieff, an independent writer who has reported on bloody conflicts in Africa, the Balkans, and Central Asia, insists that things are not so simple. He poses hard questions about whether remembrance ever truly has, or indeed ever could, "inoculate" the present against repeating the crimes of the past. He argues that rubbing raw historical wounds--whether self-inflicted or imposed by outside forces--neither remedies injustice nor confers reconciliation. If he is right, then historical memory is not a moral imperative but rather a moral option--sometimes called for, sometimes not. Collective remembrance can be toxic. Sometimes, Rieff concludes, it may be more moral to forget. Ranging widely across some of the defining conflicts of modern times--the Irish Troubles and the Easter Uprising of 1916, the white settlement of Australia, the American Civil War, the Balkan wars, the Holocaust, and 9/11--Rieff presents a pellucid examination of the uses and abuses of historical memory. His contentious, brilliant, and elegant essay is an indispensable work of moral philosophy.
