Download or read book Crisis y creatividad en el teatro español y latinoamericano del siglo XIX al siglo XXI written by Cerstin Bauer-Funke and published by Georg Olms Verlag. This book was released on 2020-09-30 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En una era en que el mundo mediático parece ir reemplazando lo real, diluyéndolo inevitablemente, el teatro es tal vez el único espacio artístico en que aún se percibe el límite entre lo real y lo ficticio. En este sentido, el teatro resulta un medio privilegiado para llamar la atención sobre esta conciencia de la experiencia vital, de sus problemáticas, puntos de quiebre y abismos, y para explorar todo tipo de crisis, visibles e invisibles, antiguas y modernas. Los estudios reunidos en este libro sobre "Crisis y creatividad en el teatro español y latinoamericano del siglo XIX al siglo XXI" se basan en estas dos palabras para reflexionar sobre su interacción creadora, así como los diversos aspectos y efectos de tal interacción desde una óptica tanto española como latinoamericana, tanto diacrónica como sincrónica desde el siglo XIX hasta la actualidad, tematizando problemas como: guerra y migración; representaciones de memorias y traumas; crisis representacionales; género, sexualidad, identidad; crisis económicas. El volumen contiene contribuciones de Maida Watson, María Asunción Gómez, Mariano de Paco, Jerónimo López Mozo, Yvonne López-Arenal, Alina Rölver, Cerstin Bauer-Funke, Francisco Gutiérrez Carbajo, Alfonso de Toro, Lourdes Bueno, Eileen J. Doll, Wilfried Floeck, Lourdes Estrada López, Virtudes Serrano, Isabelle Reck, Helen Freear-Papio, Diana M. de Paco Serrano, Eduardo Pérez-Rasilla, Emmanuelle Garnier y Berta Muñoz Cáliz. Como broche de oro, los dramaturgos Jerónimo López Mozo y Diana M. de Paco Serrano han escrito para el presente libro una pieza dramática consagrada al tema “crisis y creatividad”. *** In einer Zeit, in der die mediatisierte Welt die Realität zu zersetzen und gar zu ersetzen scheint, ist das Theater womöglich der einzige künstlerische Raum, in dem sich die Differenz zwischen dem Faktischen und dem Fiktiven noch wahrnehmen lässt. In diesem Sinne ist das Theater auch das privilegierte künstlerische Ausdrucksmedium, das es vermag, die Aufmerksamkeit auf diese Erfahrungen und Wahrnehmungen, auf die daraus resultierenden Problematiken, Brüche und Abgründe zu richten, um jegliche Art von Krise – die sichtbaren und die unsichtbaren, die alten und die modernen – auszuloten. Ausgehend von den zwei Schlüsselbegriffen „Krise und Kreativität“ reflektieren die im Band "Crisis y creatividad en el teatro español y latinoamericano del siglo XIX al siglo XXI" versammelten Beiträge über die kreative Interaktion beider Begriffe sowie über die diversen Aspekte und Effekte dieser Interaktion, die sowohl in spanischer und lateinamerikanischer als auch in dia- und synchroner Perspektivierung vom 19. Jahrhundert bis zur Gegenwart behandelt werden, wobei Themen wie etwa Krieg und Migration, Darstellungen von Erinnerungen und Traumata, Krisen des Darstellbaren, Gender, Geschlecht und Identität sowie wirtschaftliche Krisen thematisiert werden. Der Band enthält Beiträge von Maida Watson, María Asunción Gómez, Mariano de Paco, Jerónimo López Mozo, Yvonne López-Arenal, Alina Rölver, Cerstin Bauer-Funke, Francisco Gutiérrez Carbajo, Alfonso de Toro, Lourdes Bueno, Eileen J. Doll, Wilfried Floeck, Lourdes Estrada López, Virtudes Serrano, Isabelle Reck, Helen Freear-Papio, Diana M. de Paco Serrano, Eduardo Pérez-Rasilla, Emmanuelle Garnier und Berta Muñoz Cáliz. Zudem haben die Dramatiker Jerónimo López Mozo und Diana M. de Paco Serrano für diesen Band jeweils ein Theaterstück verfasst, das sich mit dem Thema “Krise und Kreativität” auseinandersetzt. ***** En una era en que el mundo mediático parece ir reemplazando lo real, diluyéndolo inevitablemente, el teatro es tal vez el único espacio artístico en que aún se percibe el límite entre lo real y lo ficticio.

Book excerpt: This volume is based on the section “Transnationalities – Transidentities – Hybridities – Diasporization”, organized by the Ibero-American and Francophone Research Centres of the University of Leipzig as part of the First Annual Conference of the Centre for Area Studies at the University of Leipzig. By now, already a decade has passed since our conference section took place and it is due to various circumstances that this volume has not been published earlier. It carries along, in some sense, its own migration trace. Nevertheless, the questions examined in the contributions have reached even more relevance since then in both, the Old World and the New, due to the various political, social, economic and ecological crisis around the globe that have led to the increased arrival of refugees to Europe and the harsh discussion about a concrete or “intelligent” wall to shield the USA from Latin American migrants, among others. Today, there is an urgent political and social need for concepts of living together in much more heterogeneous and much less familiar societies. The questions, notions and cases explored in the nine contributions that comprise this publication focus on this emergency. Participants on the volume: A. Chanady; A. de Toro; W. Ch. Dimock; D. Ingenschay; J. Mecke; M. Rössner; G. Pisarz-Ramirez; C. Sieber. ALFONSO DE TORO is Professor emeritus for Spanish, Portuguese, Ibero-American and Francophone Literatures and Cultures at the University of Leipzig. He is the founder and director of the Ibero-American and Francophone Research Centers (IAFS and FFSL). His research and publications are focused on theatre, narrative, and poetry in France, the Maghreb, Spain, Latin America, and Italy; as well as on culture, post-modern, post-colonial theories and hybridity and diaspora theories. CORNELIA SIEBER is Professor for Spanish, Portuguese and Latin-American Culture at the Faculty of Translation Studies, Linguistics and Cultural Studies of the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz – Germersheim. She is director of the Centre for Latin American and Transatlantic Studies (CELTRA) and Co-Director of the IAFS.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multiplatform Media in Mexico is the first book to treat the exciting, interconnected fields of cinema, television, and internet in Mexico over the last decade, fields that combine to be called multiplatform media. Combining industrial analysis of a major audiovisual field at a time of growth and change with close readings of significant texts on all screens, acclaimed author Paul Julian Smith deftly details these new audiovisual trends. The book includes perspectives on local reporting on the ground, as covered in the chapter documenting media response to the 2017 earthquake. And, for the first time in this field, the book draws throughout on star studies, tracing the distinct profiles of actors who migrate from one medium to another. As a whole, Smith’s analyses illustrate the key movements in screen media in one of the world’s largest media and cultural producing nations. These perspectives connect to and enrich scholarship across Latin American, North American, and global cases.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Long considered a classic in Bolivia, Juan de la Rosa tells the story of a young boy's coming of age during the violent and tumultuous years of Bolivia's struggle for independence. Indeed, in this remarkable novel, Juan's search for his personal identity functions as an allegory of Bolivia's search for its identity as a nation. Set in the early 1800s, the novel is narrated by one of the last surviving Bolivian rebels, octogenarian Juan de la Rosa. Juan recreates his childhood in the rebellious town of Cochabamba, and with it a large cast of full bodied, Dickensian characters both heroic and malevolent. The larger cultural dislocations brought about by Bolivia's political upheaval are echoed in those experienced by Juan, whose mother's untimely death sets off a chain of unpredictable events that propel him into the fiery crucible of the South American Independence Movement. Outraged by Juan's outspokenness against Spanish rule and his awakening political consciousness, his loyalist guardians banish him to the countryside, where he witnesses firsthand the Spaniards' violent repression and rebels' valiant resistance that crystallize both his personal destiny and that of his country. In Sergio Gabriel Waisman's fluid translation, English readers have access to Juan de la Rosa for the very first time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together cutting-edge research on modern Spanish women as writers, activists, and embodiments of cultural change, and simultaneously honors Maryellen Bieder’s invaluable scholarly contribution to the field. The essays are innovative in their consideration of lesser-known women writers, focus on women as political activists, and use of post-colonialism, queer theory, and spatial theory to examine the period from the Enlightenment until World War II. The contributors study women as agents and representations of social change in a variety of genres, including short stories, novels, plays, personal letters, and journalistic pieces. Canonical authors such as Emilia Pardo Bazán, Leopoldo Alas “Clarín,” and Carmen de Burgos are considered alongside lesser known writers and activists such as María Rosa Gálvez, Sofía Tartilán, and Caterina Albert i Paradís. The critical analyses are situated within their specific socio-historical context, and shed new light on nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Spanish literature, history, and culture. Published by Bucknell University Press. Distributed worldwide by Rutgers University Press.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception, anthropology's authority has been based on the assumption that it is a unified discipline emanating from the West. In an age of heightened globalization, anthropologists have failed to discuss consistently the current status of their practice and its mutations across the globe. World Anthropologies is the first book to provoke this conversation from various regions of the world in order to assess the diversity of relations between regional or national anthropologies and a contested, power-laden Western discourse. Can a planetary anthropology cope with both the 'provincial cosmopolitanism' of alternative anthropologies and the 'metropolitan provincialism' of hegemonic schools? How might the resulting 'world anthropologies' challenge the current panorama in which certain allegedly national anthropological traditions have more paradigmatic weight - and hence more power - than others? Critically examining the international dissemination of anthropology within and across national power fields, contributors address these questions and provide the outline for a veritable world anthropologies project.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A book for learners of all ages containing the best and most updated advice on learning from neuroscience and cognitive psychology. Do you spend too much time learning with disappointing results? Do you find it difficult to remember what you read? Do you put off studying because it’s boring and you’re easily distracted? This book is for you. Dr. Barbara Oakley and Olav Schewe have both struggled in the past with their learning. But they have found techniques to help them master any material. Building on insights from neuroscience and cognitive psychology, they give you a crash course to improve your ability to learn, no matter what the subject is. Through their decades of writing, teaching, and research on learning, the authors have developed deep connections with experts from a vast array of disciplines. And it’s all honed with feedback from thousands of students who have themselves gone through the trenches of learning. Successful learners gradually add tools and techniques to their mental toolbox, and they think critically about their learning to determine when and how to best use their mental tools. That allows these learners to make the best use of their brains, whether those brains seem “naturally” geared toward learning or not. This book will teach you how you can do the same.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ángel Rama was one of twentieth-century Latin America's most distinguished men of letters. Writing across Cultures is his comprehensive analysis of the varied sources of Latin American literature. Originally published in 1982, the book links Rama's work on Spanish American modernism with his arguments about the innovative nature of regionalist literature, and it foregrounds his thinking about the close relationship between literary movements, such as modernism or regionalism, and global trends in social and economic development. In Writing across Cultures, Rama extends the Cuban anthropologist Fernando Ortiz's theory of transculturation far beyond Cuba, bringing it to bear on regional cultures across Latin America, where new cultural arrangements have been forming among indigenous, African, and European societies for the better part of five centuries. Rama applies this concept to the work of the Peruvian novelist, poet, and anthropologist José María Arguedas, whose writing drew on both Spanish and Quechua, Peru's two major languages and, by extension, cultures. Rama considered Arguedas's novel Los ríos profundos (Deep Rivers) to be the most accomplished example of narrative transculturation in Latin America. Writing across Cultures is the second of Rama's books to be translated into English.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays confirms Carmen de Burgos’s pivotal place in Spanish feminist history by bringing together eminent international scholars who offer new readings of Burgos’s work. It includes the analyses of a number of lesser-known texts, both fictional and non-fictional, which give us a more comprehensive examination of Burgos’s multipronge feminist approach. Burgos’s works, especially her essays, are essential feminist reading and complement other European and North American traditions. Gaining familiarity with the breadth and depth of her work serves not only to provide an understanding of Spanish firstwave feminism, but also enriches our appreciation of cultural studies, gender studies, subaltern studies and travel literature. Looking at the entirety of her life and work, and the wide-ranging contributions in this volume, it is evident that Burgos embodied the tensions between tradition and modernity, depicting multiple representations of womanhood. Encouraging women to take ownership of their personal fashion, the design of their homes and the decorum of their families were steps towards recognizing a female population that was cognizant of its own desires.

The globalization of an economic culture addicted to constant growth destroys the ecological planetary systems while failing to fulfil its social promises. A transition toward what Prádanos calls ‘postgrowth imaginaries’—the counterhegemonic cultural sensibilities that are challenging the growth paradigm—is well underway in the Iberian Peninsula today.
