Otherness in Hispanic Culture
Author: Teresa Fernandez Ulloa
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443862339
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 615
Book Description
This book addresses contemporary discourses on a wide variety of topics related to the ideological and epistemological changes of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, and the ways in which they have shaped the Spanish language and cultural manifestations in both Spain and Hispanic America. The majority of the chapters are concerned with ‘otherness’ in its various dimensions; the alien Other – foreign, immigrant, ethnically different, disempowered, female or minor – as well as the Other of different sexual orientation and/or ideology. Following Octavio Paz, otherness is expressed as the attempt to find the lost object of desire, the frustrating endeavour of the androgynous Plato wishing to embrace the other half of Zeus, who in his wrath, tore off from him. Otherness compels human beings to search for the complement from which they were severed. Thus a male joins a female, his other half, the only half that not only fills him but which allows him to return to the unity and reconciliation which is restored in its own perfection, formerly altered by divine will. As a result of this transformation, one can annul the distance that keeps us away from that which, not being our own, turns into a source of anguish. The clashing diversity of all things requires the human predisposition to accept that which is different. Such a predisposition is an expression of epistemological, ethical and political aperture. The disposition to co-exist with the different is imagined in the de-anthropocentricization of the bonds with all living realms. And otherness is, in some way, the reflection of sameness (mismidad). The other is closely related to the self, because the vision of the other implies a reflection about the self; it implies, consciously or not, a relationship with the self. These topics are addressed in this book from an interdisciplinary perspective, encompassing arts, humanities and social sciences.

Old Spain and New Spain
Author: David Henn
Publisher: Fairleigh Dickinson Univ Press
ISBN: 9780838640159
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
This is the first, book-length study of the six travel narratives published by the 1989 winner of the Nobel Prize for Literatures. Preliminary chapters focus on technical and thematic aspects of travel-writing, and on the author's approach to the genre. Cela's travel works, which appeared between 1948 and 1986, are examined in turn, with a focus on the construction of the narratives and also on the themes that are developed in each of them. There is an assessment of the author's treatment of topographical, cultural, historical, and social material in his accounts of the journeys he made through various areas and regions of Spain, as well as a consideration of the way in which these narratives reflect changes taking place in Spain during the Franco regime and in the decade following the dictator's death. David Henn teaches modern Spanish fiction, drama, and travel literature at University College London.

Screens, Music and Audiences
Author: Enrique Encabo
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1527585859
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 159
Book Description
Our lives in the 21st century can no longer be understood without audiovisual culture, which not only conditions our daily lives, but also the way we access and understand reality. This book, formed by the contributions of 11 researchers, analyzes different aspects in order to better understand the relationship between image, music and audiences. It attends to mainstream culture, studying the meaning of music in products such as The Lord of the Rings, The Chronicles of Narnia, Harry Potter, Blade Runner, La mala educación and Treme. In short, the book explores the relationship between audiences, sound, noise, music and audiovisual media, a relationship whose history spans more than a century and which continues to offer artistic products that can be analyzed from sociological, semiotic and cultural perspectives.
