Ilusionismo verbal en Elogio de la madrastra y Los cuadernos de don Rigoberto de Mario Vargas Llosa

Sinopsis del Libro

Among the multiple approaches to be taken on an author as multifaceted and prolific as the recent Nobel Laureate Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa, Guadalupe Mart�-Pe�a has chosen to look at the novelist as an illusionist. She studies this land of fantasies and daydreams, that seemingly harmless battlefield where literature, theatre, and painting contend and join together with the writer, the dreamer, and the illusionist to oust reality. Focusing on Elogio de la madrastra and Los cuadernos de don Rigoberto, and the effect of illusion on the reading process, she argues that by referring to theatrical, pictorial, and mystical patterns Vargas Llosa entices us to experience, along with his characters, the unreal as real, the dream as reality, the magic of fiction as an empowering act. The book looks first at the theatricality and theatrics that enliven both texts. In the light of reader/spectator-response theories and theater semiotics, Mart�-Pe�a shows how the novelist turns narrating into acting, fiction into performance, and reading into seeing. She next reflects upon the role that painting plays in the materialisation of the characters' desires and illusions. By funneling pictorial aesthetics through the prism of narration, and by engaging with theory concerned with issues of text-image interrelations, she examines the various functions paintings play within the linguistic system. Finally, she compares Rigoberto's writing exercises to the writings of self-examination described by Michel Foucault in L'�criture de soi. Both texts encapsulate the main active ingredient in all of Vargas Llosa's writings: that fiction is not a submission to life, but rather an insurrection against it. Verbal illusionism becomes the most efficient tactic to carry out such a rebellion. The text of this book is in Spanish.

Mitologías

El libro analiza a Don Juan y a Segismundo desde un punto de vista aparentemente inhabitual: su existencia no ya como “literatura”, sino como mitos. El análisis del mito como tal implica su descomposición en elementos mínimos significativos o mitemas, y en espacios asimismo significativos en los que se disponen dichos mitemas. Así, pues, Don Juan, reducido a un conjunto de mitemas, repite de obra en obra sus singulares características. La mitología de (o en) Don Juan es multiplicación de sí misma, a la inversa de lo que ocurre en La vida es sueño que recoge y condensa un material ...

From the Sin-é Café to the Black Hills

Eamonn Wall arrived in the United States in the 1980s as part of a wave of young, educated immigrants who became known as the "New Irish." In this book he comments on his own experiences and those of his generation, who identify as much with contemporary ethnic and immigrant America as they do with the long-settled Irish American community. Wall's starting point is the now-closed Sin-é Café in New York's East Village, which was a hangout in the early 1990s for expatriate Irish musicians, actors, and writers. He comments on the poetry, fiction, essays, and memoirs of both the New Irish and...

Libertad para amar

La palabra "libertad" es realmente mágica. Levanta pasiones maravillosas, y ocasiona también errores dramáticos. Bastaría preguntarles a Adán y Eva por su felicidad interior, tras elegir libremente la manzana. No somos los primeros que nos preguntamos cómo usarla bien. Muchos lo han hecho antes que nosotros, y han concluido con enorme sabiduría o con enorme torpeza. Este libro trata de mostrar cómo la libertad está orientada al amor. Y cómo esta afirmación tiene una enorme importancia para la vida cristiana. Fazio así lo muestra, de la mano de grandes autores clásicos de todos...

The Space of Culture

The essays range from colonial domination and international struggles over territorial claims, to a meditation on the politics of location, to the issue of spatial representation of mature-age women and gay men within a dialectic of visibility/invisibility in Spanish theatre and cinema."--Jacket.
