Download or read book Emotions and Daily Life in Colonial Mexico written by Javier Villa-Flores and published by UNM Press. This book was released on 2014-05-15 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of emotions is a new approach to social history, and this book is the first in English to systematically examine emotions in colonial Mexico. It is easy to assume that emotions are a given, unchanging aspect of human psychology. But the emotions we feel reflect the times in which we live. People express themselves within the norms and prescriptions particular to their society, their class, their ethnicity, and other factors. The essays collected here chart daily life through the study of sex and marriage, love, lust and jealousy, civic rituals and preaching, gambling and leisure, prayer and penance, and protest and rebellion. The first part of the book deals with how individuals experienced emotions on a personal level. The second group of essays explores the role of institutions in guiding and channeling the expression and the objects of emotions.

Download or read book Writing Naked written by Coleen Marks and published by Printpod Publishing. This book was released on 2019-03-07 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Writing Naked illuminates a life like a series of lightning flashes, allowing us glimpses ranging over seven decades and six generations, from "sepia-toned" great-grandmothers to a vivid little grandson. The opening poem, "It's Time," with its "Hey, I'm only seventy-five" and "I always do better with deadlines," sets the tone for a collection always imbued with wit and joy, considering the sacred in the day-to-day, the humorous in the tragic, the profound in simple clothing. This collection touches on personal experiences with feisty kindness and startling drollery. Even the poems of bereavement and loss are run through by a current of celebration and homage of the particular persons and through them to life itself. Those dedicated to her father and to the husband who was "the one" of her life are particularly strong and poignant. The title poem shows us the I of this book, writing, sitting naked on a blanket, in full sunshine under a sky of Canaletto blue, "hiding nothing," as the poems themselves seem to do. Writing Naked is Coleen Marks' début collection and, yes, it's time. Enriqueta Carrington, Translator of Treasury of Mexican Love Poems, Quotations & Proverbs In Writing Naked, Coleen Marks gives us personal poems with a wider resonance: childhood and coming of age in a large, working class Irish-American family, then an adult life of love, work, relationships, and growing older in a long and close marriage. She is an engaging story-teller--in fact the word "stories" crops up as a motif throughout the book, as she observes "stories...on the see saw between too simple and too complex." She writes about day jobs and earning a living (not often the subject of poetry), as well as her developing feminist consciousness in a male-dominated social milieu. These firstperson poems tell of loved ones and strangers, hardship and play, art and ardor, captured with a down-to-earth thoughtfulness that evokes emotions from carefree ("A Room with a View") to deeply touching ("Sgt. Gomez," "At Ninety-One"). Writing Naked conveys an open-hearted yet clear-eyed optimism, and an ethical commitment to taking one's place in the world. Maxine Susman Author of Gogama and Provincelands
