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 El juego de tres written by Davit Marchuet Màs and published by Caligrama. This book was released on 2018-09-28 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A veces, ni una vida hace imposible el amor eterno. El juego de tres es un relato que trata del amor intrascendente y del que perdura a lo largo de la eternidad, escrito desde la perspectiva de tres jóvenes durante la Valencia gris del posfranquismo. Es un texto duro, muy crudo, que nos transporta a un momento de cambio entre la libertad y el exceso. A Ana, Toni y Miquel les une un nexo determinante: la buena suerte y también la facilidad para escoger opciones, sin temor a que las consecuencias se vuelvan en su contra. Sus vidas transcurren en plenitud, desde el acomodamiento, gracias a la excelente posición de sus familias. A cambio, estos tienen que participar en un rol impostado, a diferencia de otros de su edad que viven las mieles de un efervescente estallido de gozo irrefrenable -y que en algunos grupos se extrema hasta la anarquía-. La amistad entre ellos terminará por aislarlos de todo. Cuando paradójicamente la sociedad celebra la emancipación, ellos se imponen unas normas. ¿Una de ellas? Prohibido enamorarse.

Download or read book El juego del escondite written by Patricia Highsmith and published by Anagrama. This book was released on 1997-03-01 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peggy se ha suicidado en Mallorca, donde vivía con su marido una vida de bohemia dorada. ¿Por qué lo ha hecho? Más aún: ¿se ha suicidado realmente? Estas preguntas son el punto de partida de una intriga, psicológica y policíaca. El padre de Peggy, Coleman, célebre pintor norteamericano y hombre de fogoso temperamento, culpa a su yerno, Ray Garret, de la muerte de su hija y, empujado por un odio obsesivo, decide vengarla. Tras un encuentro entre ambos en Roma, Coleman dispara contra Ray y lo da por muerto. Herido muy ligeramente, Ray está más sorprendido que furioso: la actitud de Coleman se basa en un malentendido que Ray quiere disipar (antes de su regreso a Nueva York, donde quiere montar una galería de arte), por lo que lo sigue hasta Venecia. Lejos de cambiar de actitud, Coleman intenta asesinarlo de nuevo a la primera oportunidad. Salvado de morir ahogado por un gondolero, Ray comprende que se ha metido en la boca de lobo y su primera reacción es esconderse en Venecia. Con un nombre falso. ¿Por miedo y cansancio? ¿O por maquiavelismo instintivo y deseo de inculpar a su suegro, cuando la policía empieza a inquetarse por su desaparición? Las causas son más oscuras y complicadas... mientras en Venecia, transformada en una inmensa trampa, se entabla un extraño y atroz juego del escondite. Como escribió el conocido especialista de la novela policial, Julian Symons, «ciertamente, Ray y Coleman, acarreando sus alforjas de culpa personal o nacional a través de Venecia, están entre los más memorables productos de la poderosa imaginación de Miss Highsmith».

Download or read book Behind Spanish American Footlights written by Willis Knapp Jones and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-07-24 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across a five-hundred-year sweep of history, Willis Knapp Jones surveys the native drama and the Spanish influence upon it in nineteen South American countries, and traces the development of their national theatres to the 1960s. This volume, filled with a fascinating array of information, sparkles with wit while giving the reader a fact-filled course in the history of Spanish American drama that he can get nowhere else. This is the first book in English ever to consider the theatre of all the Spanish American countries. Even in Spanish, the pioneer study that covers the whole field was also written by Jones. Jones sees the history of a nation in the history of its drama. Pre-Columbian Indians, conquistadores, missionary priests, viceroys, dictators, and national heroes form a background of true drama for the main characters here—those who wrote and produced and acted in the make-believe drama of the times. The theatre mirrors the whole life of the community, Jones believes, and thus he offers information about geography, military events, and economics, and follows the politics of state and church through dramatists’ offerings. Examining the plays of a people down the centuries, he shows how the many cultural elements of both Old and New Worlds have been blended into the distinct national characteristics of each of the Spanish American countries. He does full justice to the subject he loves. A lively storyteller, he adds tidbits of spice and laughter, long-buried vignettes of history, tales of politics and drama, stories of high and low life, plots of plays, bits of verse, accounts of dalliance and of hard work, and sad and happy endings of rulers and peons, dramatists, actors, and clowns. A valuable appendix is a selected reading guide, listing the outstanding works of important Spanish American dramatists. A generous bibliography is a useful addition for scholars.

Download or read book Los juegos artesanos de la educaci n social written by Núñez Pérez, Violeta and published by Editorial UOC. This book was released on 2016-12-31 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro recoge algunas cuestiones con las que Violeta Núñez ha ido tramando sus recorridos docentes: teorías pedagógicas y experiencias como enseñante. El texto postula que inventar es transgredir, y recurre al bricolaje para que cada cual ensamble fragmentos y objetos culturales y a la postproducción como actividad resultante de esa apropiación de elementos de la cultura plural. Dada la movilidad de los sujetos de la era digital y su atención dispersa en diversas fuentes simultáneas, se trata de incorporar esas modalidades a los espacios de educación, posibilitando que la atención dispersa se transforme en atención flotante. Desde esta perspectiva se plantea revisitar, en clave contemporánea, viejas teorías y experiencias pedagógicas: desarchivarlas.

Garantizamos sonrisas y lágrimas (las tuyas y las de tu hijo) y sobre todo una aventura en la que más de una vez tendrás que releer estas páginas para encarar con humor algún momentillo comprometido. Y todo esto no te lo cuenta un cualquiera: Javier Reyero acumula unas cuantas horas de experiencia como encantado bipadre, después de muchos años como nopadre pensando que la paternidad no sería para él. Ríete a carcajada limpia con una mirada cargada de mordacidad sobre ese extraño y entrañable momento en el que tu vida simplemente se pone patas arriba.
