Sinopsis del Libro

Libro La vida manda y otros textos

This edition comprises selected examples of the Cuban writer Ofelia Rodriguez Acosta' s prose, including her best known novel and samples of her short stories, essays and journalism works. These texts range from raw realism to lyrical exaltation; from the direct portayal of the historical moment to the meticulous insight of the human psyche. Her peculiar naturalism bloomed under the influence of the philosophical currents of her times, encompassing echoes of Positivism, but after a passionate discussion against Existentialism her writing steerer towards the Latin American avant-garde literature that without any conflict simultaneously approached metaphysics and political commitment. Together the foreword essay and the selected examples offer a survey view of her style and ideas in the convulsive decades of 1930 to 1950 Cuba, a key to understand the development of Modernity on the island. Ofelia Rodríguez Acosta, undoubtedly occupies a place in this feat. We hope that this book continues the growing academic work determined to recover her voice. This book is much more than an excellent edition of the novel «La vida manda» by the all-important Cuban feminist Ofelia Rodríguez Acosta. In addition to including a selection of other texts by the author, in her introduction Madeline Cámara highlights with sharpness and intelligence the importance of naturalism, feminism and mysticism in the work of Rodríguez Acosta. From now on, every study on Rodríguez Acosta will have to take into account this magnificent contribution made by prof. Camara.

O mundo movente de riobaldo em Grande Sertão: veredas

Libro O mundo movente de riobaldo em Grande Sertão: veredas

[POR] Este artigo expõe os conflitos que movem a realidade afetiva de Riobaldo durante sua «travessia» lírica, épica e dramática na obra Grande Sertão: veredas. Os elementos idílicos como aves, rios, matas, céu e montan­has contrastam com o mundo agreste do sertão. A épica propende para as ações cavalheirescas durante a travessia. O drama reside no amor contido e transgressor por Diadorim que era sua neblina e sua luz, motor da tragédia que relembra no «range rede» de sua memória. Tudo é revelado, em uma elaboração linguística objetiva, pela voz sincopada de Riobaldo....

From the Sin-é Café to the Black Hills

Libro 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...

De la "subversión marxista" al "terrorismo de estado"

Libro De la subversión marxista al terrorismo de estado

Si partimos del supuesto que tanto la escuela como la asignatura de la Historia han constituido espacios privilegiados en los procesos de transmisión del pasado y en el establecimiento de los sentidos del mismo, cabe preguntarse si es que las luchas por la memoria del pasado dictatorial se han manifestado en la escuela y cómo lo han hecho. Por lo tanto, el presente libro parte de las siguientes preguntas: ¿cuáles fueron las representaciones de la última dictadura militar que circularon desde la redemocratización del país en la enseñanza de la historia? ¿Con qué selecciones del...

Imitación y transformación

Libro Imitación y transformación

Aunque en Italia la imitacion como ejercicio literario formaba ya parte integrante de la preceptiva poetica, para los escritores castellanos del siglo XVI representaba una manera nueva de aproximarse tanto a los clasicos greco-latinos como a los italianos mas recientes. La "imitatio" enlaza a Espana con la actualidad circundante, y el renacimiento literario que resulta de su practica queda delineado no solo por su contexto geopolitico sino por su dinamica interna. El "Cinquecento" italiano tiene su base en la excelencia literaria que habian logrado anteriormente Petrarca y Boccaccio en el...
