Book Synopsis Chineseness in Chile by : Maria Montt Strabucchi
Download or read book Chineseness in Chile written by Maria Montt Strabucchi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-12-15 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the role of Chineseness or lo chino in the production of Chilean national identity. It does so by discussing the many voices, images, and intentions of diverse actors who contribute to stereotyping or problematizing Chineseness in Chile. The authors argue that in general, representing and perceiving China or Chineseness as the Other is part of a broader cultural and political strategy for various stakeholders to articulate Chile as either a Western country or one that is becoming-Western. The authors trace the evolution of the symbolic role that China and Chineseness play in defining racial, gendered, and class aspects of Chilean national social imaginary. In doing so, they challenge a common idea that Chineseness is a stable signifier and the simplistic perception of the ethnic Chinese as the unassimilable foreigner within the nation. In response, the authors call for a postmigrant approach to understanding identities and Chilean society beyond stubborn Orient-Occident and us-them dichotomies.

Book Synopsis ¡Muy Pop! by : Frederick Luis Aldama
Download or read book ¡Muy Pop! written by Frederick Luis Aldama and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2013-11-04 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although investigations of Hispanic popular culture were approached for decades as part of folklore studies, in recent years scholarly explorations—of lucha libre, telenovelas, comic strips, comedy, baseball, the novela rosa and the detective novel, sci-fi, even advertising—have multiplied. What has been lacking is an overarching canvas that offers context for these studies, focusing on the crucial, framing questions: What is Hispanic pop culture? How does it change over time and from region to region? What is the relationship between highbrow and popular culture in the Hispanic world? Does it make sense to approach the whole Hispanic world as homogenized when understanding Hispanic popular culture? What are the differences between nations, classes, ethnic groups, religious communities, and so on? And what distinguishes Hispanic popular culture in the United States? In ¡Muy Pop!, Ilan Stavans and Frederick Luis Aldama carry on a sustained, free-flowing, book-length conversation about these questions and more, concentrating on a wide range of pop manifestations and analyzing them at length. In addition to making Hispanic popular culture visible to the first-time reader, ¡Muy Pop! sheds new light on the making and consuming of Hispanic pop culture for academics, specialists, and mainstream critics.

For over 200 years, missionaries, adventurers, slaves, scientists, guerrillas, and narcos encounter natural and supernatural wonders on their separate journeys through an unforgiving, sometimes surreal, and often deadly landscape as they flee brutal persecutors and their own demons. Hidden deep in Colombia's Amazon jungle lies The Mission, a paradisical refuge for the lost established by outlaw Jesuit missionaries in the 18th century. The Mission has thrived over the centuries, and all are welcome there. But not everyone will find the path. Who will discover the secret that leads to The Mission?
Download or read book Dead Girls written by Selva Almada and published by Charco Press. This book was released on 2020-09-03 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this brutal, gripping novel, Selva Almada narrates the case of three small-town teenage girls murdered in the 1980's in the interior of Argentina.Three deaths without culprits: 19-year old Andrea Danne, stabbed in her own bed; 15-year old María Luisa Quevedo, raped, strangled, and dumped in wasteland; and 20-year old Sarita Mundín, whose disfigured body was found on a river bank. Almada takes these and other tales of abused women to weave together a dry, straightforward portrait of gender violence that surpasses national borders and speaks to readers' consciousness all over the world.Following the success of The Wind That Lays Waste , internationally acclaimed Argentinian author Selva Almada dives into the heart of this problem with a reported novel, comparable to Truman Capote's In Cold Blood or John Hersey's Hiroshima , in response to the urgent need for attention to the ongoing catastrophe that is femicide.Not a police chronicle, not a thriller, but a contemporary noir novel that lives in the hearts of these women and the men who have abused them. Almada captures the invisible, and with lyrical brutality, blazes a new trail in journalistic fiction.
