Book The Seeing Century

Download or read book The Seeing Century written by Wendy Everett and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2000 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twentieth century, with all its turbulence and change, its conflicts and its discoveries was, perhaps above all, the century of cinema, and The Seeing Century offers an innovative, international, and interdisciplinary exploration of the role cinema plays in contemporary life and culture, and the complex and fascinating relationship between screen images and our changing concepts of personal and national identity. Rejecting the compartmentalisation that has traditionally marked film studies, and confronting an impressively eclectic range of material, fifteen essays by leading academics from around the world cut across 'divergent' cultures, languages, and genres: mainstream Hollywood rubs shoulders with low-budget Icelandic or Sicilian cinema, and the popular and the esoteric feature alongside each other. In this way, the reader is offered a stimulating overview which directly addresses the contradictions and ambiguities inherent in the relationship between film and identity, and reveals the vibrancy of contemporary film debate, to which The Seeing Century makes an important and thought-provoking contribution.

Book Taming the Revolution in Nineteenth Century Spain

Download or read book Taming the Revolution in Nineteenth Century Spain written by Andrea Acle-Kreysing and published by Campus Verlag. This book was released on 2022-11-23 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jaime Balmes und Juan Donoso Cortés – die beiden wichtigsten konservativen Denker im Spanien des 19. Jahrhunderts – versuchten aktiv im Zuge des aufkommenden Liberalismus, die Zentralität von Kirche und Monarchie zu bewahren, und gleichzeitig die stereotype Sichtweise Spaniens als rückständiges und isoliertes Land zu diskreditieren. Obwohl sie ein ähnliches Ziel verfolgten, unterschieden sich ihre Standpunkte: Während Balmes' Werke einen sozial orientierten Katholizismus vorwegnahmen, stellte Donoso das Christentum als höchstes soziales Gut dar, das mit dem modernen Liberalismus unvereinbar war. Andrea Acle-Kreysing hebt die ungelösten Spannungen in ihren Werken hervor und zeigt, dass das spanische politische Denken eine anregende Variante – und keine Abweichung – der zeitgenössischen europäischen Debatten war.

Book excerpt: Las emociones que experimentamos al iniciar un viaje el placer ante el descubrimiento conocidos para el novelista frances Julio Verne. Desdu su biblioteca atestada de periodicos, revistas cientificas, mapas, almanaques y libros de viajes, Verne nos propone un reto: una aventura en la que participar observando los preparativos de la expedicion, admirando lugares remotos, no hallados, aun por el hombre, asombrandonos ante paisajes paradisiacos o animales salvajes, pueblos de otras razas y culturas. Asi el autor nos invita a un periplo imaginario donde el placer de conocer no cede a las fuertes imprisiones de una arriesgada travesia cargada de peligros y sorpresas. En la Inglaterra de finales del siglo XIX los circulos cientificos solohablan de un suceso: un explorador tozudo y voluntarioso, un experto cazador y un criado oficioso y dicharachero pretenden Ilevar a cabo la mas osada aventura que pudiera imaginarse, a bordo de un ingenio volador extrano y peligroso. Y aqui comienza tambien nuestro apasionante viaje de la mano de Julio Verne.

Book Rainer Maria Rilke

Download or read book Rainer Maria Rilke written by Salome, Lou-Andreas and published by Libros del Zorzal. This book was released on 2009 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro es una biografía elegíaca del poeta, en el que Rilke habla a través de sus cartas, enlazadas artesanalmente por la autora. Se trata de un poeta que parte en busca de su propia voz, su sí mismo, en una enconada lucha con su propia naturaleza. Lou Andreas-Salomé muestra el revés de la trama de la creación, el riesgo vital que supone encontrar al poeta en cada uno de nosotros y, a la vez, el poder salvador que entraña. En un mundo que enfrenta el peligro –ya vaticinado por Nietzsche– de que los sentimientos se vean aplastados por la razón, Rilke se revela aquí como el poeta que aceptó ese desafío, que él mismo vivió en una dramática lucha cuerpo-alma.

Book Inca Garcilaso and Contemporary World Making

Download or read book Inca Garcilaso and Contemporary World Making written by Sara Castro-Klarén and published by University of Pittsburgh Press. This book was released on 2016-09-27 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume offers new perspectives from leading scholars on the important work of Inca Garcilaso de la Vega (1539-1616), one of the first Latin American writers to present an intellectual analysis of pre-Columbian history and culture and the ensuing colonial period. To the contributors, Inca Garcilaso's Royal Commentaries of the Incas presented an early counter-hegemonic discourse and a reframing of the history of native non-alphabetic cultures that undermined the colonial rhetoric of his time and the geopolitical divisions it purported. Through his research in both Andean and Renaissance archives, Inca Garcilaso sought to connect these divergent cultures into one world. This collection offers five classical studies of Royal Commentaries previously unavailable in English, along with seven new essays that cover topics including Andean memory, historiography, translation, philosophy, trauma, and ethnic identity. This cross-disciplinary volume will be of interest to students and scholars of Latin American history, culture, comparative literature, subaltern studies, and works in translation.
