Download or read book The Festive Play of Fernando Arrabal written by Luis Oscar Arata and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-12-14 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Along with Samuel Beckett and Eugene Ionesco, Fernando Arrabal is a major exponent of the Theater of the Absurd. In this study Arrabal's plays are seen as a contemporary expression of a festive form of theater that flourished during the Middle Ages and that had its roots in the drama of Aeschylus and Aristophanes. With this view of Arrabal's work, Luis Arata explores the nature of play in art in the light of Jean Piaget's psychology. He thus offers a new way to approach festive and playful art.
Download or read book Routledge Handbook of Global Economic History written by Francesco Boldizzoni and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 778 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of Global Economic History documents and interprets the development of economic history as a global discipline from the later nineteenth century to the present day. Exploring the normative and relativistic nature of different schools and traditions of thought, this handbook not only examines current paradigmatic western approaches, but also those conceived in less open societies and in varied economic, political and cultural contexts. In doing so, this book clears the way for greater critical understanding and a more genuinely global approach to economic history. This handbook brings together leading international contributors in order to systematically address cultural and intellectual traditions around the globe. Many of these are exposed for consideration for the first time in English. The chapters explore dominant ideas and historiographical trends, and open them up to critical transnational perspectives. This volume is essential reading for both academics and students in economic and social history. As this field of study is very much a bridge between the social sciences and humanities, the issues examined in the book will also have relevance for those seeking to understand the evolution of other academic disciplines under the pressures of varied economic, political and cultural circumstances, on both national and global scales.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sherry Olson has almost always worked with others, inspiring them to ground their research in an empathetic understanding of the human condition. Through this team work, she has made signal contributions in fields as diverse as environmental, social, urban, and women’s histories, as well as public health, demography, and geographic information systems (GIS). In this volume, a critical assessment of her life’s work is complemented by original pieces advancing our knowledge in these remarkably diverse fields. From the environmental impact of colonial settlement in New Zealand to racial segregation in Chicago, from the demography of the Mauricie and marriage patterns of Quebec City to the inns, gay spaces, and landladies of Montreal, this collection demonstrates the complexity of sharing space in the past and its centrality to any critical understandings of the global challenges we face in the present. Published in English.
Download or read book The Epoch of Universalism 1769 1989 L poque de l universalisme 1769 1989 written by Franck Hofmann and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2020-11-23 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2019 witnessed the 30th anniversary of the German reunification. But the remembrance of the fall of the Berlin Wall coincided with another event of global importance that caught much less attention: the 250th anniversary of Napoleon Bonaparte’s birth. There is an undeniable historical and philosophical dimension to this coincidence. Napoleon’s appearance on the scene of world history seems to embody European universalism (soon thereafter in the form of a ‘modern’ imperial project); whilst scholars such as Francis Fukuyama saw in the events of 1989 its historical fulfilment. Today, we see more clearly that the fall of the Berlin Wall stands for an epistemic earthquake, which generated a world that can no longer be grasped through universal concepts. Here, we deal with the idea of Europe and of its relation to the world itself. Picking up on this contingency of world history with an ironic wink, the volume analyses in retrospect the epoch of European universalism. It focusses on its dialectics, polemically addressing and remembering both 1769 and 1989. L’année 2019 a été marquée par le 30e anniversaire de la réunification de l’Allemagne, éclipsant un autre événement d’envergure mondiale : le 250e anniversaire de Napoléon Bonaparte. La dimension philosophico-historique de cette coïncidence ne peut pourtant pas être négligée : si l’arrivée de Bonaparte sur la scène de l’histoire mondiale semble incarner l’avènement de l’universalisme européen (bientôt amené à prendre sa forme « moderne » et impériale), certains penseurs ont suggéré, avec Francis Fukuyama, que « 1989 » marquait son accomplissement historique. Aujourd’hui, il apparaît au contraire que la chute du mur de Berlin a été un véritable tremblement de terre épistémique, et rendu inopérants les concepts universels. Dans le monde d’après, c’est à l’idée d’Europe et à sa relation au monde que nous avons affaire. Revenant par un geste ironique sur cette contingence historique, le présent volume se veut une analyse rétrospective de l’époque de l’universalisme, dans toute la dialectique que les commémorations de 1769/1989 ont fait surgir.

Book excerpt: A l'aire de la mondialisation, le fait linguistique est marchandisé de manière croissante. Ainsi, le marché des feuilletons brésiliens (telenovelas) s'est brusquement élargi et tend à devenir un phénomène lusophone majeur. Si personne ne nie l'influence croissante que le géant brésilien acquiert dans l'aire dessinée par la pratique du portugais - la quatrième langue européenne la plus parlée dans le monde -, le phénomène produit-il une uniformisation tendancielle des pays de langue portugaise ? L'analyse des médias dévoile certes des phénomènes de rapprochement provoqués par la communauté de langue, mais renforce aussi l'impression que chaque pays reste surtout influencé par son aire d'insertion propre. La lusophonie demeure une aire spécifique d'intersection avec d'autres identités, et n'est pas, en tant que telle, une aire culturelle. Partout, les médias sont un enjeu de pouvoir, et c'est par le biais de ces enjeux que s'expriment les identités ethniques ou politiques, les trajectoires professionnelles des journalistes, les techniques de reportage, les traditions cinématographiques émergentes, etc. Bien entendu, la vitalité des médias sera plus forte là où le mouvement social a imposé une réelle pluralité politique : c'est, en négatif, pourquoi l'Angola n'est pas directement présent dans ce dossier, même si certaines initiatives (le plus souvent restreintes à la capitale) sont prometteuses. En revanche, les vitalités portugaise, brésilienne, capverdienne et même mozambicaine, apparaissent pleinement, qu'il s'agisse de la télévision, de générations journalistiques, du développement d'internet notamment au Cap-Vert, l'archipel de tous les réseaux. Introduit par un beau texte de l'écrivain mozambicain Luis Carlos Patraquim, ce dossier ne prétend pas à l'exhaustivité. Mais, en une dizaine d'articles d'auteurs de nationalités brésilienne, britannique, française, mozambicaine et portugaise, il offre une clé supplémentaire d'approche du puzzle lusophone.
