Download or read book Postcolonial and Gender Perspectives in Irish Studies written by Marisol Morales Ladrón and published by Netbiblo. This book was released on 2007 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book represents an attempt to tackle questions related to fragmented and often conflicting ideologies within Irish studies. Although a collective outcome, with contributions in English and Spanish, its unifying concern has been the appliance of postcolonial and gender perspectives to the analysis of Irish literature (prose, drama and verse) and cinema, as well as to the aesthetic production of both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Along the volume, while some authors have chosen to delve into the broad theoretical debate concerning the position of Irish studies within postcolonial and feminist theories, others offer detailed examinations of specific literary pieces and authors that fit in this panorama. All in all, the chapters are wide and diverse enough to trace a spatial and temporal map of the evolution of these paradigms within contemporary Irish studies, North and South of the border.

Book excerpt: El Encanto, al igual que otros poblados del estado de Veracruz, se caracteriza por lo aberrante de su gente. Por un lado, quienes glorifican en público a Epifanio Martínez, en privado lo maldicen. Muchos quieren ser como él, pero aborrecen que su estirpe haya mantenido en perpetua desgracia al poblado. Nadie sabe con exactitud cuándo fue el día en que los pueblerinos quedaron a merced de tanta humillación. Lo perverso de su verdugo, confunde a la gente con la idea de que éste todo lo puede con el poder de su dinero, hasta que en el horizonte aparecen Gabino Domínguez y Gervasio García, provocando que el cacique viva sus peores días. Sin querer, el par de campesinos sufren con una experiencia que los horroriza de pies a cabeza en la derruida ex hacienda de El Encanto. A partir de ese momento, la vida en El Encanto ya no será la misma. Muchos, al igual que Gabino y Gervasio, creen que Epifanio tiene pactos con el demonio. Y el par de campesinos tienen razones de sobra para pensar así. Sin embargo, ambos se dan cuenta que el cacique no es el mito que todos creían. Así, poco a poco, Gabino y su inseparable amigo con la ayuda de la familia Ruvalcaba, descorren el velo que mantuvo por tanto tiempo postrado al poblado.
Download or read book The Armies written by Evelio Rosero Diago and published by New Directions Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Armies by Evelio Rosero, a story of love, violence, and war, is a modern classic." "Ismail, the profesor, is a retired teacher in the small, fictional Colombian town of San Jose. He passes the days pretending to pick oranges while spying on his neighbor Geraldina as she lies naked in the shade of a ceiba tree. The garden burns with sunlight; the macaws laugh sweetly. Otilia, Ismail's wife, is ashamed of him and suggests that he pay a visit to Father Albornoz, who was once his student. Instead the profesor wanders the town visiting old friends, plagued by a tangle of secret memories: Where have I existed these years? I answer myself: up on the wall, peering over." "When guerrillas and paramilitaries suddenly invade the town, Ismail's reveries gradually give way to a living hell. His wife disappears and he must find her. We learn that not only gentle, grassy hillsides surround San Jose, but also land mines and coca. The profesor's voyeuristic ramblings are engulfed by the hallucinatory violence of Rosero's narrative, which is suffused not only with a deep sadness but also with an extraordinary tenderness." --Book Jacket.

Download or read book Lives of Girls and Women written by Alice Munro and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2011-12-21 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The debut novel from Nobel Prize–winning author Alice Munro, “one of the most eloquent and gifted writers of contemporary fiction” (The New York Times). “Munro has an unerring talent for uncovering the extraordinary in the ordinary.”—Newsweek Rural Ontario, 1940s. Del Jordan lives out at the end of the Flats Road on her father’s fox farm, where her most frequent companions are an eccentric bachelor family friend and her rough younger brother. When she begins spending more time in town, she is surrounded by women—her mother, an agnostic, opinionated woman who sells encyclopedias to local farmers; her mother’s boarder, the lusty Fern Dogherty; and her best friend, Naomi, with whom she shares the frustrations and unbridled glee of adolescence. Through these unwitting mentors and in her own encounters with sex, birth, and death, Del explores the dark and bright sides of womanhood. All along she remains a wise, witty observer and recorder of truths in small-town life. The result is a powerful, moving, and humorous demonstration of Alice Munro’s unparalleled awareness of the lives of girls and women.

Download or read book Al oeste del mito written by Sánchez Esbilla, Adrián and published by Editorial UOC. This book was released on 2016-09-25 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: América pronto se dio cuenta de su valor mítico. La historia transfiguró en leyenda y los hechos se diluyeron en el relato. La conquista del territorio, el avance de la civilización, los hombres y las mujeres de la frontera en expansión cuyos nombres y hazañas, por lo común violentas, pasaron a constituir una verdad contada. El wéstern, versión en movimiento de las dime novels, significó la primera experiencia del cinematógrafo con el espacio abierto y se convirtió en la maquinaria a través de la cual se transmitía el relato mítico de la fundación. Género americano, el wéstern se fue oscureciendo en el reflejo tanto de su tiempo presente como del histórico que recrea. La estilización dejó paso a la introspección, la emoción de la aventura, a la melancolía de la pérdida. El wéstern se convirtió en un modo, ético y estético, de estar y contar un país. Un paseo por las estaciones del wéstern y una antología de 50 títulos componen esta aproximación a un género que, en sí mismo, sintetiza lo cinematográfico: el gesto y el movimiento.
