Madrid's Forgotten Avant-Garde
Author: Silvina Schammah Gesser
Publisher: Liverpool University Press
ISBN: 1836241909
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 503
Book Description
This book explores the role played by artists and intellectuals who constructed and disseminated various competing images of national identity which polarized Spanish society prior to the Civil War. The convergence of modern and essentialist discourses and practices, especially in literature and poetry, in what is conventionally called in Spanish letters "The Generation of '27", created fissures between competing views of aesthetics and ideology that cut across political affiliation. Silvina Schammah exposes the paradoxes facing Madrid's cultural vanguards, as they were torn by their ambition for universality, cosmopolitanism and transcendence on the one hand and by the centripetal forces of nationalistic ideologies on the other. Taking upon themselves roles to become the disseminators and populizers of radical positions and world-views first elaborated and conducted by the young urban intelligentsia, their proposed aim of incorporating diverse identities embedded in different cultural constructions and discourse was to have very real and tragic consequences as political and intellectual lines polarized in the years prior to the Spanish Civil War.

From Romanticism to Surrealism

Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
The book offers an in-depth, critical appreciation of seven major Spanish poets. Emphasis is on the modern period, with five of the poets being twentieth-century poets. It is argued that the roots of modern poetry are to be found in Romanticism's anguished search for meaning.

Lorca, Alberti, and the Theater of Popular Poetry
Author: Sandra Cary Robertson
Publisher: Peter Lang Incorporated, International Academic Publishers
ISBN:
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
Although Lorca and, to a lesser extent, Alberti, are commonly described as popular poets, little has been done to demonstrate their fundamental attraction to, and repeated experiments with, the poetry of Spain's oral tradition. In this study of Lorca and Alberti's early dramatic works, lectures, and presentations, we see that lo popular was an essential feature in their very conception of art, as well as in their view of themselves as Spain's leading literary ambassadors, during the years 1923 to 1935.

The Cultural Politics of Twentieth-century Spanish Theatre
Author: Carey Kasten
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 1611483816
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 261
Book Description
The Cultural Politics of Twentieth-Century Spanish Theater argues that twentieth-century artists used the Golden Age Eucharist plays called autos sacramentales to reassess the way politics and the arts interact in the Spanish nation's past and present, and to posit new ideas for future relations between the state and the national culture industry. The book traces the phenomenon of the twentieth-century auto to show how theater practitioners revisited this national genre to manifest different, oftentimes opposing, ideological and aesthetic agendas. It follows the auto from the avant-garde stagings and rewritings of the form in the early twentieth century, to the Francoist productions by the Teatro Nacional de la Falange, to postmodern parodies of the form in the era following Franco's death to demonstrate how twentieth-century Spanish dramatists use the auto in their reassessment of the nation's political and artistic past, and as a way of envisioning its future.
