Book Description
Yaleska Velásquez nos regala en esta obra tres cuentos que mezclan la realidad con la ilusión, la fantasía. Hadas y unicornios representan a la perfección esta suma de partes que nos devuelve una serie de historias donde la trama, con una base verosímil, a veces cerca de la novela policial, se mezcla con el folclore, devolviendo una suerte de realismo mágico evolucionado que nos transporta un punto más allá de la realidad. Si bien los cuentos comienzan cimentando sus bases alrededor de una realidad cruda, en todos ellos existe un toque mágico que resulta esencial para el desarrollo de la historia. Yaleska no duda en mezclar ambas vertientes y es capaz de transportar al lector justo donde desea: al corazón. El corazón que ha crecido con cuentos mágicos y fantásticos para huir de, precisamente, esa cruda realidad. De hadas, unicornios y un cisne en las estrellas es, así, un viaje hacia el corazón de su autora, de donde no querremos salir, pues viviremos unas aventuras que nos hechizarán para siempre.

The Naked Woman
Author: Armonía Somers
Publisher: Feminist Press at CUNY
ISBN: 193693244X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
A woman’s feminist awakening drives a hypocritical village to madness in rural Uruguay in this "wild, brutal paean to freedom" (NPR.org). Shortlisted for the National Translation Award "Somers' feminism is profound, and complicated." —NPR.org “A surreal, nightmarish book about women’s struggle for autonomy—and how that struggle is (always, inevitably) met with violence.” —Carmen Maria Machado, author of Her Body and Other Parties When The Naked Woman was originally published in 1950, critics doubted a woman writer could be responsible for its shocking erotic content. In this searing critique of Enlightenment values, fantastic themes are juxtaposed with brutal depictions of misogyny and violence, and frantically build to a fiery conclusion. Finally available to an English-speaking audience, Armonía Somers will resonate with readers of Clarice Lispector, Djuna Barnes, and Leonora Carrington.

Mad Men And Medusas
Author: Juliet Mitchell
Publisher: Basic Books
ISBN: 0465012116
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 398
Book Description
This worthy successor to Psychoanalysis and Feminism is both a defense of the long-dismissed diagnosis of hysteria as a centerpiece of the human condition and a plea for a new understanding of the influence of sibling and peer relationships. Juliet Mitchell argues that, because it our first social relationship, the sibling relationship is crucial to development, and that it is a critical failure of psychoanalysis and other psychological theories of development to obscure and ignore the importance of siblings and peers. In Mad Men and Medusas Mitchell traces the history of hysteria from the Greek "wandering womb" to modern-day psychiatric diagnoses, arguing that we need to reclaim hysteria to understand how distress and trauma express themselves in different societies and different times. Using fascinating examples from anthropology, Freud's case studies, literature, and her own clinical practice, Mitchell convincingly demonstrates that while hysteria may have disappeared as a disease, it is still a critical factor in understanding psychological development through the life cycle.

The Lyrical Vision of María Luisa Bombal
Author: Celeste Kostopulos-Cooperman
Publisher: Tamesis
ISBN: 9780729302845
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 108
Book Description
This volume contains an examination of what are described as the most poetic examples of Chilean prose written in the 20th century. By adopting Ralph Freedman's conceptual definition of lyrical narrative and using it as her point of departure, Professor Kostopolos-Cooperman argues that the protean and magical nature of Bombal's lyrical prose transcends the causal, temporal and spatial movement that characterizes conventional fiction. In her view, Bombal's work is rather a narrative that arises in the poetic imagination of a narrator who creates a tapestry of expanding musical and pictorial patterns frequently reflecting the inner lives of her protagonists - alienated heroines who withdraw into an illusory world of dreams, fantasies and idealized realities where the conflict between self and other is rendered through a suggestive and contemplative network of subjective associations.
