Folklore and Literature
Author: Manuel da Costa FontesPublisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 0791493008
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
Folklore and Literature shows how modern folklore supplements an understanding of the early oral tradition and enhances the knowledge of the early literature. Besides documenting how writers incorporated folklore into their works, this book allows us to understand crucial passages whose learned authors took for granted a familiarity with the oral tradition, thus enabling us to restore those passages to their intended meaning. Studying the vicissitudes of oral transmission in great detail, this is the first book exclusively dedicated to the relationship between folklore and literature in a Luso-Brazilian context, taking into account the pan-Hispanic and other traditions as well. Some of the folkloric passages included are: Puputiriru; Celestina; El idolatra de Maria; Remando Vao Remadores; Barca Bela; Flerida; and Don Duarodos.

Book Description
Beginning in the late 1950s political leaders in Venezuela built what they celebrated as Latin America’s most stable democracy. But outside the staid halls of power, in the gritty barrios of a rapidly urbanizing country, another politics was rising—unruly, contentious, and clamoring for inclusion. Based on years of archival and ethnographic research in Venezuela’s largest public housing community, Barrio Rising delivers the first in-depth history of urban popular politics before the Bolivarian Revolution, providing crucial context for understanding the democracy that emerged during the presidency of Hugo Chávez. In the mid-1950s, a military government bent on modernizing Venezuela razed dozens of slums in the heart of the capital Caracas, replacing them with massive buildings to house the city’s working poor. The project remained unfinished when the dictatorship fell on January 23, 1958, and in a matter of days city residents illegally occupied thousands of apartments, squatted on green spaces, and renamed the neighborhood to honor the emerging democracy: the 23 de Enero (January 23). During the next thirty years, through eviction efforts, guerrilla conflict, state violence, internal strife, and official neglect, inhabitants of el veintitrés learned to use their strategic location and symbolic tie to the promise of democracy in order to demand a better life. Granting legitimacy to the state through the vote but protesting its failings with violent street actions when necessary, they laid the foundation for an expansive understanding of democracy—both radical and electoral—whose features still resonate today. Blending rich narrative accounts with incisive analyses of urban space, politics, and everyday life, Barrio Rising offers a sweeping reinterpretation of modern Venezuelan history as seen not by its leaders but by residents of one of the country’s most distinctive popular neighborhoods.

Book Description
Um livro para não esquecer. Um livro para despertar mentes. Uma sociedade hedionda, repugnante, desumana. 1984 : NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR oferece hoje uma descrição quase realista do vastíssimo sistema de fiscalização em que passaram a assentar as democracias capitalistas. A história se passa no ano de 1984, em um futuro distópico onde o Estado impõe um regime extremamente totalitário para a sociedade, através da vigilância do Grande Irmão, imposta pelo partido (Ingsoc), onde ninguém escapa do seu poder. Assim, o local do romance, Oceania, é dominado pelo medo e pela repressão, pois quem pensa contra o regime é acusado de cometer um crime (no livro, crimideia, ou crime de ideia, na tradução para a novilíngua, o idioma do futuro). O Grande Irmão já não é uma figura de estilo, mas sim, converteu-se numa vulgaridade quotidiana. É neste mundo opressivo que a personagem principal, que representa o contraponto ao regime, Winston Smith, logo começa a questionar o modo como age o Estado. Winston faz parte do Ministério da Verdade, sua função é falsificar registros históricos, a fim de moldar o passado à luz dos interesses do presente tirânico. Nesse cenário de submissão onde não há mais leis, mas sim inúmeras regras determinadas pelo Partido, ninguém nunca viu o Grande Irmão em pessoa. Uma sacada genial do autor: o tirano mais amedrontador é também aquele mais abstrato. Nos dias atuais, onde as fakenews imperam e o controle da sociedade nos mantém em perpétua vigilância, esta obra-prima da distopia torna-se cada vez mais atual.
