Lo poético cinematográfico
Author: Laura M. MartinsPublisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469672669
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
Lo poetico cinematografico: la imagen luciernaga de Gustavo S. Fontan se inserta en el creciente interes por las formas que adopta "lo poetico" en el cine. Dentro del panorama actual del cine argentino, Fontan se distingue por construir una trayectoria consecuente en su afan de escrutar la materialidad del mundo y alejarse de los modelos serializados de las retoricas estandarizadas del mercado tardo-capitalista (sus filmes constituyen "obras sin lugar"). Nos descubre la posibilidad del disfrute de lo concreto (quizas una forma de aprender a vivir de otro modo) y forja una urdimbre que es poetica--y pictorica--con un tempo propio que nos permite contemplar y reparar en la "proliferacion enigmatica de materia que llamamos mundo". Nos invita a apreciar iridiscencias, contornos borroneados, opacidades, presencias e instantes fugaces, lo cual nos faculta para valorar el pudor con que nos entrega cada imagen visual y sonora. Fontan intenta reconfigurar el espacio de lo sensible, suscitar emociones con capacidad cognitiva, ampliar los limites de lo que puede ser experimentado y abrirnos (a) nuevos mundos auditivos a partir de esa suerte de lengua extranjera que es su cine.
Quechua de Huarás, en Español e Inglés: Glosario
Author: Menandra MosqueraPublisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1479722588
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 678
Book Description
This glossary has been prepared in order to leave a record of the Quechua spoken by the people of Huarás and surrounding areas in the mid-20th century. Huarás, capital of the Region (Department) of Ancash, Peru, has a distinct form of Quechua. That dialect was endangered due to a massive earthquake on May 31, 1970. Tens of thousands of people died, and the city was destroyed. Many of the survivors left the area. Once rebuilt, Huarás was repopulated with people new to the area who use Spanish or a different dialect to communicate. Since then, technological influences such as the Internet also reinforce the use of Spanish, to the detriment of the local Quechua. Born in Huarás, I was raised in a bilingual environment, Spanish and Quechua. Although I left the area to attend the university, I could always feel at home upon returning, until that earthquake. Since then it seems strange to return to an unfamiliar city, due to people, language and environment. I hope this glossary will help the newer generations better understand, not only their grandparents and ancestors, but the culture from which they come. Language and culture are intimately tied, and much more than words is lost when a language dies. The Inca Empire (Tahuantinsuyo) was invaded by Spain in 1532. At that time Quechua was spoken, never written, throughout the Inca civilization, with many dialects. Since then, the Spanish language has been imposed, but in Huarás never did it replace Quechua to the extent that it did in 1970. This glossary contains words, several verb forms, and phrases. It is written with the expectation that it may help to preserve the inherited Quechua, so that Huarás may remain bilingual. It is written for huarasinos, the people of Huarás. If others find it useful, better yet. The glossary is in Quechua. To facilitate access to the Quechua, indices in Spanish and in English are included. M. Mosquera
Edge of Crisis
Author: Barbara H. SteinPublisher: JHU Press
ISBN: 0801890462
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 637
Book Description
This authoritative study of colonialism in the Spanish empire at the end of the eighteenth century examines how the Spanish metropole attempted to preserve the links to its richest colony in the western Atlantic, New Spain (Mexico), in the face of international developments. Continuing the approach in Silver, Trade, and War and Apogee of Empire, Barbara and Stanley Stein detail Spain’s ad hoc efforts to adjust metropolitan and colonial institutions, structures, and ideology to the pressures of increased competition in the Old and New worlds. In reviewing the attempts at reform, the authors explore networks of individuals and groups, some accepting and others rejecting the Spanish transatlantic trade system. They provide accounts from both sides of the Atlantic to show how economic policy, imperial goals, and consequent social divisions and factionalism in New Spain and Spain undermined the government’s efforts at economic and political adjustments. The Steins draw on a wide range of archival material in Mexico, Spain, and France to place the waning of the Spanish empire in an Atlantic perspective. They also show how Spain came to the verge of collapse in a time of revolution and at the beginning of the transition from commercial to industrial capitalism. Comprehensive and carefully researched, Edge of Crisis explains the broad array of factors that led up to the French invasion of Spain in early 1808.
Actualizando La Mediana Edad
Author: Guillermo Julio MonteroPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000379884
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
La “mediana edad” es un concepto que se utiliza en todos los ámbitos y que presenta numerosos vértices diferentes, aunque generalmente es bastante impreciso, incluso dentro del paradigma psicoanalítico. Este libro trata de determinar su significado preciso a través del reto que representa sentar las bases para el desarrollo de una verdadera metapsicología psicoanalítica de la “mediana edad”, algo que los editores creen que le faltaba al psicoanálisis. Desde este planteamiento, han invitado a catorce psicoanalistas de renombre a que compartieran sus ideas sobre el tema y el resultado de esa labor es Puesta al día sobre la mediana edad: perspectivas psicoanalíticas, que, además de las diversas aportaciones, contiene un estudio introductorio realizado por los editores. Este libro supone un verdadero avance en el desarrollo de una metapsicología específica para la “mediana edad”.

Prose Fiction of the Cuban Revolution
Author: Seymour MentonPublisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 0292763824
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 365
Book Description
Recipient of the Hubert Herring Memorial Award from the Pacific Coast Council on Latin American Studies for the best unpublished manuscript of 1973, Prose Fiction of the Cuban Revolution is an in-depth study of works by Cubans, Cuban exiles, and other Latin American writers. Combining historical and critical approaches, Seymour Menton classifies and analyzes over two hundred novels and volumes of short stories, revealing the extent to which Cuban literature reflects the reality of the Revolution. Menton establishes four periods—1959–1960, 1961–1965,1966–1970, and 1971– 1973—that reflect the changing policies of the revolutionary government toward the arts. Using these periods as a chronological guideline, he defines four distinct literary generations, records the facts about their works, establishes coordinates, and formulates a system of literary and historical classification. He then makes an aesthetic analysis of the best of Cuban fiction, emphasizing the novels of major writers, including Alejo Carpentier's El siglo de las luces, and José Lezama Lima's Paradiso. He also discusses the works of a large number of lesser-known writers, which must be considered in arriving at an accurate historical tableau. Menton's exploration of the short story combines a thematic and stylistic analysis of nineteen anthologies with a close study of six authors: Guillermo Cabrera Infante, Calvert Casey, Humberto Arenal, Antonio Benítez, Jesús Díaz Rodríguez, and Norberto Fuentes. Several chapters are devoted to the increasing number of novels and short stories written by Cuban exiles as well as to the eighteen novels and one short story written about the Revolution by non-Cubans, such as Julio Cortázar, Carlos Martínez Moreno, Luisa Josefina Hernández, and Pedro Juan Soto. In studying literary works to reveal the intrinsic consciousness of a historical period, Menton presents not only his own views but also those of Cuban literary critics. In addition, he clarifies the various changes in the official attitude toward literature and the arts in Cuba, using the revolutionary processes of several other countries as comparative examples.
