Book Description
Eva Peron (1919-1952) was the First Lady of Argentina from 1946 until her death in 1952. Often referred to as "Evita," she was never an officially elected political figure, but by her husband's second term as President, she had become the most powerful woman in the history of her nation. By the 1960s, Evita was an international pop-culture icon; in the 1970s, Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice wrote the blockbuster musical Evita about her; and in the mid-90s, the musical was adapted to a movie starring Madonna. This small, chunky paperback features all manner of vintage graphic treatments from the era of Evita--from candid portraits with her husband and two poodles to futuristic airplane designs to children's books which used the letters of her name to teach spelling. As Jorge Luis Borges once said, "Peronists are neither good nor bad, they are incorrigible." Pruébelo Ud. mismo. Reúna dos o más argentinos y en la mitad de la charla, diga la palabra mágica "Perón". Inmediatamente habrán de aglutinarse o repulsarse de manera drástica y definitiva. Es en extremo difícil que sean ajenos o imparciales al tema propuesto. Es que el "ser argentino" (la argentinidad) y el "ser peronista", dos condiciones de difícil definición, no parecen estar contingentemente escindidas entre sí. El peronismo, convertido en sentimiento, trasciende la historia y la ideología. Desde el desprejuicio político, y como parte de nuestra política de recolección sistemática de material gráfico, rescatamos aquí algunos cientos de muestras de lo que podemos llamar la estética peronista en su estado de máxima pureza. íDisfrútelo, compañero!

Pages : 274
Book Description
Eva Peron remains Argentina's best-known and most iconic personality, surpassing even sporting superstars such as Diego Maradona or Lionel Messi, and far outlasting her own husband, President Juan Domingo Peron himself a remarkable and charismatic political leader without whom she, as an uneducated woman in an elitist and male-dominated society, could not have existed as a political figure.

From her poverty-stricken upbringing as an illegitimate child in rural Argentina, Peron made her way to the highest echelons of Argentinean society, via a brief acting career and her relationship with Juan. After their political breakthrough, her charitable work and magnetic personality earned her wide public acclaim and there was national mourning following her death from cancer at the age of just 33.Based on new sources and first-hand interviews, the book will seek to explore the personality and experiences of 'Evita' and the contemporary events that influenced her and were in turn influenced by her. As the first substantive biography of Eva Peron in English, this book will be essential reading for anyone interested in modern Argentinean history and the cult of 'Evita'."

Ambassadors of the Working Class
Author: Ernesto Semán
Publisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 0822372959
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
In 1946 Juan Perón launched a populist challenge to the United States, recruiting an army of labor activists to serve as worker attachés at every Argentine embassy. By 1955, over five hundred would serve, representing the largest presence of blue-collar workers in the foreign service of any country in history. A meatpacking union leader taught striking workers in Chicago about rising salaries under Perón. A railroad motorist joined the revolution in Bolivia. A baker showed Soviet workers the daily caloric intake of their Argentine counterparts. As Ambassadors of the Working Class shows, the attachés' struggle against US diplomats in Latin America turned the region into a Cold War battlefield for the hearts of the working classes. In this context, Ernesto Semán reveals, for example, how the attachés' brand of transnational populism offered Fidel Castro and Che Guevara their last chance at mass politics before their embrace of revolutionary violence. Fiercely opposed by Washington, the attachés’ project foundered, but not before US policymakers used their opposition to Peronism to rehearse arguments against the New Deal's legacies.

Pages : 322
Book Description
From the nineteenth century to the present, literary entanglements between Latin America and East Central Europe have been socio-politically and culturally diverse, but never random. The Iron Curtain, in particular, forced both regions to negotiate transatlantic «elective affinities», to take a stance in relation to the West, and to position themselves within world literature. As a result, the intellectual fields and creative productions of these regions have critically engaged with notions such as «post-imperial», «marginal», or «peripheral». In this edited volume, scholars from Germany, Brazil, Czech Republic, Hungary, Mexico, Poland, Slovenia, and Spain cross the globe from South to East and back to uncover transcultural and transareal convivialities. Their papers explore literary history, poetics, intellectual networks, and aesthetic theory, while discussing new key concepts in global literary history.

The Representation of the Political in Selected Writings of Julio Cortázar
Author: Carolina Orloff
Publisher: Boydell & Brewer Ltd
ISBN: 1855662620
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 238
Book Description
OrIoff shows that Cortázar did not become a political writer as a result of the Cuban Revolution, as is often claimed, but rather that the representation of the political was present in Cortázar's very first writings. The book analyses the evolution of the representation of distinct political elements throughout Cortázar's writings, mainly with reference to the novels and the so-called collage books, which have so far received only limited critical attention. The author also alludes to some short stories and refers to many of Cortázar's non-literary texts. Through this chosen corpus, the book follows a thematic thread, showing that politics was present in Cortázar's fiction from his very first writings, and not - as he himself tended to claim - only following his conversion to socialism. The study aims to show that contrary to what many critics have argued, this political conversion did not divide the writer into an irreconcilable before and after - the apolitical versus the political - but rather it simply shifted the emphasis of the representation of the political that already existed in Cortázar's writings. Carolina Orloff is an independent scholar working on research projects in the UK and in Argentina.
