Book Synopsis The Poetry of José Gorostiza by : Robert Klein Engler
Download or read book The Poetry of José Gorostiza written by Robert Klein Engler and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-03 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I first became aware of José Gorostiza's poetry on New Year's Day, 1984. I was sitting on a bench along the Paseo de Reforma in Mexico City. It was early in the morning. The festive atmosphere of New Year's Eve had given way to a cool and bright dawn. Across the street I could see a plywood barricade that had gone up temporarily around a construction site. The boards were covered with graffiti. On one of them, a tagger had written some verses by José Gorostiza. The writing was signed by: "The Committee for the Defense of the Language." I was struck by the poem, and the next day I went to a bookstore in the Zona Rosa and bought a thin volume of Gorostiza's complete works. I have been translating his writing since then.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is published by Floricanto Press in conjuction with Berkeley Press.www.FloricantoPress.com Jos� Gorostiza's poetry is "the most... concentrated of modern poetry in Spanish," according to renowned Mexican poet and Nobel Laureate Octavio Paz. Hence, this thin volume of collected poems, which, nevertheless, has as much poetry as many bulkier tomes. It's just that here, the poetry is concentrated in fewer poems. The Encyclopedia of Latin American Literature expresses the consensus of Spanish-language critics on Gorostiza's masterwork, Muerte sin fin (Endless Death): "It is impossible to overstate the importance of this poem... among the finest in the Spanish language... takes its place alongside Eliot's The Wasteland (1922) or Val�ry's Le Cimeti�re marin (1920) as one of the pinnacles of sustained poetic achievement in the 20th century." Yet, inspite of Gorostiza's importance to Spanish language and especially Mexican literature, about two thirds of this book appears in English translation for the first time. The only other English translation of Muerte sin fin has been out of print for nearly half a century. In lectures at Harvard in 1971, Octavio Paz considered Muerte the equal and opposite to Nobel Laureate Pablo Neruda's masterwork Canto General (1950). Paz called the latter "a monument to loquacity" and the former "a monument to reticence." In the collection of literary essays, The Siren and the Seashell, Paz wrote, "The only intellectual [Spanish language] poets of this period were two Spanish Americans: the Mexican Jos� Gorostiza and the Argentine Jorge Luis Borges... Borges and Gorostiza belong to the great tradition of intellectual poetry: Coleridge, Leopardi, Val�ry..." Preeminent Mexican poet and man-of-letters Alfonso Reyes called Muerte sin fin "the diamond in the crown of Mexican Poetry...a statue of rock crystal... a tower of lights... His work is as scant as it is great... [He is] the diver... surfacing with the pearl in the palm of his hand. He dispenses with all the useless and squeezes the essence." H.R. Hays, dean of English-language translators of Latin American poetry, wrote that "What gives [Gorostiza's poetry] its intensity is a certain metaphysical passion... Gorostiza's integrity gives his work its force and his exquisite craftsmanship ranks him as one of the most distinguished... poets of Mexico." In 2014, Berkeley and Floricanto Presses jointly published translator and editor M.W. Jacobs' translated selection Poems, Ram�n L�pez Velarde. Jacobs was also the editor of Choicest Rock Band Names as Tiny Poems (2012) and author of the short story collection San Fran '60s: Stories of the Hippies, the Summer of Love, and San Francisco in the '60s, Volumes 1 & 2 (2017), both published by Escallonia Press. Also in 2014, Escallonia Press published his A History of the U.S. in 20 Movies: an All-Movie History Course. All of the above books are available on Amazon.

Book Synopsis Mexican Literature by : David William Foster
Download or read book Mexican Literature written by David William Foster and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-07-22 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mexico has a rich literary heritage that extends back over centuries to the Aztec and Mayan civilizations. This major reference work surveys more than five hundred years of Mexican literature from a sociocultural perspective. More than merely a catalog of names and titles, it examines in detail the literary phenomena that constitute Mexico's most significant and original contributions to literature. Recognizing that no one scholar can authoritatively cover so much territory, David William Foster has assembled a group of specialists, some of them younger scholars who write from emerging trends in Latin American and Mexican literary scholarship. The topics they discuss include pre-Columbian indigenous writing (Joanna O'Connell), Colonial literature (Lee H. Dowling), Romanticism (Margarita Vargas), nineteenth-century prose fiction (Mario Martín Flores), Modernism (Bart L. Lewis), major twentieth-century genres (narrative, Lanin A. Gyurko; poetry, Adriana García; theater, Kirsten F. Nigro), the essay (Martin S. Stabb), literary criticism (Daniel Altamiranda), and literary journals (Luis Peña). Each essay offers detailed analysis of significant issues and major texts and includes an annotated bibliography of important critical sources and reference works.

Entries for authors, ranging from the early colonial period to the present, give succinct biographical data and an account of the author's literary production, with particular attention to their most prominent works and where they belong in literary history. The introduction provides a review of Latin American literature and theater as a whole while separate dictionary entries for each country offer insight into the history of national literatures. Entries for literary terms, movements, and genres serve to complement these commentaries, and an extensive bibliography points the way for further reading. The comprehensive view and detailed information obtained from all these elements will make this book of use to the general-interest reader, Latin American studies students, and the academic specialist.

Book Synopsis Idle Fictions by : Gustavo Pérez Firmat
Download or read book Idle Fictions written by Gustavo Pérez Firmat and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1993-09-22 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "idle fictions" of the vanguard novel of the 1920s and 1930s in Spain and Spanish America represented a kind of interlude of playfulness--a vacation or parenthetical insertion--in what was perceived as the established course of the modern Hispanic novel's development. Yet, as Pérez Firmat argues, though this genre saw itself as recreative and interstitial, it deliberately precipitated "a class war not between social classes but between literary classes." Concentrating on source material not widely available, Pérez Firmat reconstructs the reception these novels received at the time of their publication, then develops a reading of them based on the intellectual context of this reception. A new preface and an appendix on vanguard biographies have been added to this paperback edition.

Book Synopsis Equestrian Rebels by : Roberto Cantú
Download or read book Equestrian Rebels written by Roberto Cantú and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-05-11 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mariano Azuela (Mexico, 1873–1952) was a medical doctor by profession, recipient of Mexico’s Premio Nacional de Literatura (1949), a distinguished member of El Colegio Nacional and, by mid-century, one of Mexico’s leading novelists and literary critics. The author of novels, novellas, plays, biographies, and literary criticism, Azuela served as field doctor under Francisco Villa during the Mexican Revolution and, after Villa’s military defeats in 1915, published Los de abajo (The Underdogs, 1915) while in exile in El Paso, Texas. This book of essays commemorates the first centenary of Los de abajo, and traces its impact on twentieth-century autobiographies, memoirs and, more specifically, on the Novel of the Mexican Revolution. Equestrian Rebels: Critical Perspectives on Mariano Azuela and the Novel of the Mexican Revolution includes a full-length introduction and nineteen essays by leading international scholars who study Azuela and other novelists of the Mexican Revolution – such as Martín Luis Guzmán, Nellie Campobello and, among others, José Rubén Romero – from current, yet contrasting and innovative theoretical perspectives. Especially written for this volume, these critical essays are grouped into five sections that separately probe and analyze Azuela’s realism and contemporary affinities with photography; Azuela’s literary criticism; centennial studies on Los de abajo; critical approaches to other novels by Azuela; three independent analyses of Nellie Campobello’s Cartucho (1931); and a concluding section on literary representations of Mexican colonialism and revolution in the narratives of Juan Rulfo (El llano en llamas), Carlos Fuentes (Gringo viejo), and David Toscana (El último lector). This book will be of importance to scholars, teachers, students, and the general reader interested in topics related to the literary, cultural, and political forces and conflicts that led to the transformation of Mexico into a modern nation.
Book Synopsis The Double Strand by : Frank Dauster
Download or read book The Double Strand written by Frank Dauster and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two strands, one indigenous, the other imposed, pro-duce the poetic and cultural tensions that give form to the work of five contemporary Mexican poets—All Chumacero, Efrain Huerta, Jaime Sabines, Ruben Bonifaz Nuno, and Rosario Castellanos. Although all five are significant figures, only Castellanos has yet been widely studied in the United States, primarily for her novels and her relations with the feminist movement. In spite of a number of rather basic differences in their work, these poets share and write within a complicated culture rooted in both the pre-Hispanic and the European traditions. Their poetry reflects this in its emphasis on death as a constant presence and in the echoes of both Aztec ritual poetry and European poetry. Although apparently very different formally and thematically, the five share a number of concerns. Each of them writes out of a contradictory inner tension; each is preoccupied with the effort to shape language as part of a personal voyage of discovery; each is haunted by death and seeks realization or plenitude through love of some kind. And each of them, ultimately, finds there is no escape. As Frank Dauster concludes, "The poetry of Mexico, like its people and its society, reflects the fusion of two worlds, and these complex poets of the double strand operate freely and imaginatively within it." Although addressed primarily to specialists in Latin American literature, The Double Strand also speaks to those interested in the complex interaction between two widely differing cultural heritages, and in the rich fusion this blending produces in Mexican letters.
Book Synopsis The Eagle and the Virgin by : Mary Kay Vaughan
Download or read book The Eagle and the Virgin written by Mary Kay Vaughan and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2006-03-13 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the fighting of the Mexican Revolution died down in 1920, the national government faced the daunting task of building a cohesive nation. It had to establish control over a disparate and needy population and prepare the country for global economic competition. As part of this effort, the government enlisted the energy of artists and intellectuals in cultivating a distinctly Mexican identity. It devised a project for the incorporation of indigenous peoples and oversaw a vast, innovative program in the arts. The Eagle and the Virgin examines the massive nation-building project Mexico undertook between 1920 and 1940. Contributors explore the nation-building efforts of the government, artists, entrepreneurs, and social movements; their contradictory, often conflicting intersection; and their inevitably transnational nature. Scholars of political and social history, communications, and art history describe the creation of national symbols, myths, histories, and heroes to inspire patriotism and transform workers and peasants into efficient, productive, gendered subjects. They analyze the aesthetics of nation building made visible in murals, music, and architecture; investigate state projects to promote health, anticlericalism, and education; and consider the role of mass communications, such as cinema and radio, and the impact of road building. They discuss how national identity was forged among social groups, specifically political Catholics, industrial workers, middle-class women, and indigenous communities. Most important, the volume weighs in on debates about the tension between the eagle (the modernizing secular state) and the Virgin of Guadalupe (the Catholic defense of faith and morality). It argues that despite bitter, violent conflict, the symbolic repertoire created to promote national identity and memory making eventually proved capacious enough to allow the eagle and the virgin to coexist peacefully.

Book Synopsis The Nuclear Club by : Jonathan R. Hunt
Download or read book The Nuclear Club written by Jonathan R. Hunt and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2022-11-29 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nuclear Club reveals how a coalition of powerful and developing states embraced global governance in hopes of a bright and peaceful tomorrow. While fears of nuclear war were ever-present, it was the perceived threat to their preeminence that drove Washington, Moscow, and London to throw their weight behind the 1963 Limited Test Ban Treaty (LTBT) banishing nuclear testing underground, the 1967 Treaty of Tlatelolco banning atomic armaments from Latin America, and the 1968 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) forbidding more countries from joining the most exclusive club on Earth. International society, the Cold War, and the imperial U.S. presidency were reformed from 1945 to 1970, when a global nuclear order was inaugurated, averting conflict in the industrial North and yielding what George Orwell styled a "peace that is no peace" everywhere else. Today the nuclear order legitimizes foreign intervention worldwide, empowering the nuclear club and, above all, the United States, to push sanctions and even preventive war against atomic outlaws, all in humanity's name.
