Download or read book On the Edge of the River Sar written by Rosalía de Castro and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-10-16 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the first feminist translation of Rosalía de Castro’s seminal poetic anthology En las orillas del Sar [On the Edge of the River Sar] (1884). Rosalía de Castro (1837–1885) was an artist of vast poetic vision. Her understanding of human nature and her deep sensitivity to the injustices suffered by women and by such marginalized peoples as those of her native region, Galicia, are manifest in verses of universal yet rarely translated significance. An outspoken proponent of both women’s rights and her region’s cultural and political autonomy, Castro used her poetry as a vehicle through which to decry the crushing hardships both groups endured as Spain vaulted between progressive liberal and conservative reactionary political forces throughout the nineteenth century. Depending upon what faction held sway in the nation at any given time during Castro’s truncated literary career, her works were either revered as revolutionary or reviled as heretical for the views they espoused. Long after her death by uterine cancer in 1885, Castro was excluded from the pantheon of Spanish literature by Restoration society for her unorthodox views. Compellingly, the poet’s conceptualization of the individual and the national self as informed by gender, ethnicity, class, and language echoes contemporary scholars of cultural studies who seek to broaden present-day definitions of national identity through the incorporation of precisely these same phenomena. Thanks to the most recent works in Rosalian and Galician studies, we are now able to recuperate and reevaluate Rosalía de Castro’s poems in their original languages for the more radical symbolism and themes they foreground related to gender, sexuality, race and class as they inform individual and national identities. However, although Castro’s poetic corpus is widely accessible in its original languages, these important features of her verses have yet to be given voice in the small number of English translations of only a sub-set of her works that have been produced in the last century. As a result, our understanding of Castro’s potential contributions to contemporary world poetries, gender studies, Galician and more broadly cultural studies is woefully incomplete. An English translation of Castro’s works that is specifically feminist in its methodological orientation offers a unique and thought-provoking means by which to fill this void.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿Qué sucederá después del 2012? Algunas culturas predijeron el fin de nuestro mundo y la idea está generando un pánico colectivo absurdo. El autor cree que después de esa fecha habrá una gran transformación que durará varios siglos, pero el 2012, en especial, traerá una serie de eventos que nos llevarán a un nivel de consciencia diferente. El libro narra una experiencia -producto de diversas meditaciones- en la que el autor entra en contacto con un ser evolucionado, el cual proviene de otro sistema solar y de otra época y ambos sueñan una posible visión del futuro. Pero, ¿cómo serán las sociedades en el futuro? ¿Qué tiene que hacer la humanidad para mejorar? ¿Qué tendremos que hacer todos los humanos para salir del embrollo en que se encuentra actualmente nuestra civilización? Pues, sin duda, nuestras sociedades están enfermas y colapsando sobre sí mismas. El autor pretende dar respuesta a la pregunta: ¿que debe desaparecer para crear esa Edad de Oro que muchos anhelamos? Deberemos renunciar a las creencias y a las ideologías, pero sobre todo a la política y a las actuales formas de control de la gente a través del miedo. Se dará la desaparición de las Instituciones, los gobiernos, las religiones y filosofías que hipnotizan y nos imponen códigos de conducta. Sin duda, será necesaria una nueva economía: deberá dejarse la economía de la acumulación y deberán desaparecer el dinero y el mercantilismo, que tanto sufrimiento han generado; también deberán desaparecer las normas que nos rigen, pues seguramente con menos leyes o tal vez sin leyes, todo mejorará. En la parte final del libro se habla de cómo la humanidad todavía tendrá que enfrentarse a grandes sufrimientos, probablemente a guerras y cataclismos que le permitirán conseguir ese nivel de consciencia diferente y se tiene una visión de cómo será la sociedad del futuro: como vivirán los humanos de esa época indeterminada, que será como un regreso al paraíso. En esa nueva sociedad ya no existirá el trabajo, como medio de subsistencia, ni el dinero; ya nadie acumulará ni vivirá obsesionado por tener más. El crédito y la mayor parte de las profesiones existentes en ésta época ya no tendrán razón de ser. Se tiene una visión clara de la forma de sus comunidades, y sobre la educación en ese tiempo futuro donde cada ser encontrará su propósito y su misión de vida. El autor se presenta bajo el seudónimo de "El Hombre" por considerar que el libro contiene sabiduría que es propiedad de toda la humanidad y porque cree que la transformación de nuestras sociedades depende de el nivel de conciencia que cada ser humano logre en lo individual.
Download or read book Words of the True Peoples Palabras de los Seres Verdaderos written by Carlos Montemayor and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-07-03 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of the larger, ongoing movement throughout Latin America to reclaim non-Hispanic cultural heritages and identities, indigenous writers in Mexico are reappropriating the written word in their ancestral tongues and in Spanish. As a result, the long-marginalized, innermost feelings, needs, and worldviews of Mexico's ten to twenty million indigenous peoples are now being widely revealed to the Western societies with which these peoples coexist. To contribute to this process and serve as a bridge of intercultural communication and understanding, this groundbreaking, three-volume anthology gathers works by the leading generation of writers in thirteen Mexican indigenous languages: Nahuatl, Maya, Tzotzil, Tzeltal, Tojolabal, Tabasco Chontal, Purepecha, Sierra Zapoteco, Isthmus Zapoteco, Mazateco, Ñahñu, Totonaco, and Huichol. Volume 1 contains narratives and essays by Mexican indigenous writers. Their texts appear first in their native language, followed by English and Spanish translations. Frischmann and Montemayor have abundantly annotated the English, Spanish, and indigenous-language texts and added glossaries and essays that trace the development of indigenous texts, literacy, and writing. These supporting materials make the anthology especially accessible and interesting for nonspecialist readers seeking a greater understanding of Mexico's indigenous peoples. The other volumes of this work will be Volume 2: Poetry/Poesía and Volume 3: Theater/Teatro.
