Book Synopsis Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) as Writer and Social Critic by : Gregary Joseph Racz
Download or read book Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986) as Writer and Social Critic written by Gregary Joseph Racz and published by Edwin Mellen Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this book, ably edited by Dr. Racz, attempt to read Borges in this counter-monumental mode using the centennial of his birth as a point of departure. It is a fitting way to do Borges in our tangled era, keenly aware of the perils of public memorializing-in Buenos Aires's Memory Park to the disappeared, in New York's Ground Zero memorial to the blown apart-yet striving for the kind of open and fluid remembrance of the past that encourages new telling(s) of what inevitably will become old tales.

Book Synopsis Poetry Of Discovery by : Andrew Debicki
Download or read book Poetry Of Discovery written by Andrew Debicki and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-11-21 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A leading critic of contemporary Spanish poetry examines here the work of ten important poets who came to maturity in the immediate post-Civil War period and whose major works appeared between 1956 and 1971: Francisco Brines; Eladio Cabañero; Angel Crespo; Gloria Fuertes; Jaime Gil de Biedma; Angel González; Manuel Mantero; Claudio Rodríguez; Carlos Sahagún; and José Angel Valente. Although each of these poets has developed an individual style, their work has certain common characteristics: use of the everyday language and images of contemporary Spain, development of language codes and intertextual references, and, most strikingly, metaphoric transformations and surprising reversals of the reader's expectations. Through such means these poets clearly invite their readers to join them in journeys of poetic discovery. Andrew P. Debicki's is the first detailed stylistic analysis of this generation of poets, and the first to approach their work through the particularly appropriate methods developed in "reader-response" criticism.

Book Synopsis Modernism, Rubén Darío, and the Poetics of Despair by : Alberto Acereda
Download or read book Modernism, Rubén Darío, and the Poetics of Despair written by Alberto Acereda and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2004 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modernism, Ruben Darío, and the Poetics of Despair presents a detailed study of a neglected facet of Ruben Darío, and in general, of Hispanic Modernism: metaphysical and existential dimensions as preludes to Modernity. Alberto Acereda and J. Rigoberto Guevara approach the life and death issues in Darío works with special emphasis on his poetry. The authors demonstrate how the Nicaraguan poet takes the first steps towards poetic modernity. The tragic component of Darío works are examined in the light of Nineteenth Century philosophy, especially the work of Arthur Schopenhauer. Various thematic proposals are also formulated for the study of the works of Ruben Darío.

Book Synopsis The Imaginary in the Writing of Latin American Author Amanda Labarca Hubertson (1886-1975) by : Sandra M. Boschetto-Sandoval
Download or read book The Imaginary in the Writing of Latin American Author Amanda Labarca Hubertson (1886-1975) written by Sandra M. Boschetto-Sandoval and published by Edwin Mellen Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thematic study is the only in-depth investigation into the fictional and testimonial literature of Amanda Labarca Hubertson, Chilean educator, reformer, and promoter of women's rights. These imaginary writings include such little-known works as her semi-autobiographical novel, En tierras extranas (1915), the short novel, La lampara maravillosa (1921), the collection of short stories entitled Cuentos a mi senor, the testimonial Meditaciones and Meditaciones breves (1928-1931), and the marginal journal fragments, Desvelos en el alba (1945). A preliminary chapter also addresses the controversy surrounding her published literary thesis, La novela castellana de hoi [sic, 1906]. The study corrects some interpretive errors regarding earlier scholarship on Labarca's perceived feminist writings by examining the sexual (gendered) complexities that imprint themselves in Labarca's fictional work and literary criticism. While she may be criticized for omitting any materialist analysis of power, in her literature Labarca attempted to effect change in the social order by pointing out its contradictions. Paradoxically, a close reading of Labarca's dangerously contradictory and yet amorous
Book Synopsis Carlos Fuentes's Terra Nostra and the Kabbalah by : Sheldon Penn
Download or read book Carlos Fuentes's Terra Nostra and the Kabbalah written by Sheldon Penn and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rather than treating the Jewish Kabbalah as merely one heretical doctrine among others in Fuente's novel Tera nostra, Penn (Spanish, U. of Leicester) argues that examining its presence is vital for understanding both the theme and style. He draws on 20th-century scholarship showing links between Jewish mysticism and theories of history and textuality, and literary implementations of the Kabbalah by writers who significantly influenced Fuentes such as Alego Carpentier and Jorge Luis Borges. His discusses the Kabbalistic concept of language and its operation in the novel, Celestina as metaphysical woman, Kabbalistic time, and a novelistic historiography. The text is double spaced.

Book Synopsis Imageries of deception in Chilean novels of the 1990s by : Cecilia Ojeda
Download or read book Imageries of deception in Chilean novels of the 1990s written by Cecilia Ojeda and published by Edwin Mellen Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the New Chilean Narrative published in the historically significant decade of the 90s by a group of writers belonging to the Generation of the 80s. The analysis of selected texts by Ana Maria del Rio, Diamela Eltit, Guadalupe Santa Cruz, Jaime Collyer, Ramon Diaz Eterovic, Gonzalo Contreras, and Alberto Fuguet explores the literary strategies by which these writers present literary imageries of deception that question the post-dictatorial order in Chile. The concept of imageries of deception alludes to literary motifs that represent a critical view of a Chilean contemporary reality whose source can be traced to the Pinochet dictatorship and its ideological aftermath. The imageries of deception question the dominant myths that sustain Chilean post-dictatorial society, and remember the nation's ideological conflicts of the past three decades. As cultural spaces where memory resists the dominant will to deceptively erase the past, the narrative of the 90s reveals the enduring and debilitating impact of a dictatorship successfully disguised as the current neo-liberal democracy.

Book Synopsis The Philosophy of Yoga in Octavio Paz's Poem Blanco by : Richard Jerome Callan
Download or read book The Philosophy of Yoga in Octavio Paz's Poem Blanco written by Richard Jerome Callan and published by Edwin Mellen Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mexican poet Paz (1914-98) wrote Blanco in Delhi while he was ambassador to India. Callan (emeritus, Spanish and humanities, U. of New Hampshire) argues that the poet intentionally and in great detail translated into his own metaphoric language the ancient practice of Yoga, especially as found in Tantric literature and developed in the Mahayana Buddhism of Tibet. Assuming that readers are not necessarily familiar with Tantric yoga, he sets out its precepts before showing how Paz incorporated them. He discusses Blanco's physical layout and yogic fundamentals, channels and centers in the two bodies of yoga and in the poem, preliminary details on the subtle body in the poem, Paz on the word and language, and other topics. Quotations from the poem are in English and Spanish. Annotation : 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
