Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public reading programs are flourishing in many Latin American cities in the new millennium. They defy the conception of reading as solitary and private by literally taking literature to the streets to create new communities of readers. From institutional and official to informal and spontaneous, the reading programs all use public space, distribute creative writing to a mass public, foster collective rather than individual reading, and provide access to literature in unconventional arenas. The first international study of contemporary print culture in the Americas, Public Pages reveals how recent cultural policy and collective literary reading intervene in public space to promote social integration in cities in Colombia, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, and Chile. Marcy Schwartz looks at broad institutional programs such as UNESCO World Book Capital campaigns and the distribution of free books on public transportation, as well as local initiatives that produce handmade books out of recycled materials (known as cartoneras) and display banned books at former military detention centers. She maps the connection between literary reading and the development of cultural citizenship in Latin America, with municipalities, cultural centers, and groups of ordinary citizens harnessing reading as an activity both social and literary. Along with other strategies for reclaiming democracy after decades of authoritarian regimes and political violence, as well as responding to neoliberal economic policies, these acts of reading collectively in public settings invite civic participation and affirm local belonging.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Sarah Hirschman's book is ... really a manifesto for an approach to education that does all these more human, more important things." -Danielle Allen, Professor, Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, New Jersey "I'd love to see People and Stories programs for the parents of children in every at-risk school district in the country." -Robert Hass, US Poet Laureate, 1995-1997 People and Stories / Gente y Cuentos describes how men and women on welfare or in rehabilitation centers, prisoners, rural workers, disadvantaged youth, or just ordinary community members are offered the chance to experience literature in a way they have not been able to in the past. Founded by Sarah Hirschman, People and Stories / Gente y Cuentos encompasses groups of common, often under-served adults in the United States, France, and Colombia who enjoy reading and discussing works of literature. Upon attending a seminar with the philosopher, Paulo Freire, and working with groups in New York's Lower East Side and Dorchester, Massachusetts, she created Gente y Cuentos in Spanish. Some years later, the English-language People and Stories program was added. Currently, Gens et Recits in French is being developed in Paris and in the southwest of France. This book describes the various influences that led to the development of this method. The clarity of the explanations and the attention to detail should help those who want to organize similar discussion groups in their own communities."

Download or read book Critique of Latin American Reason written by Santiago Castro-Gómez and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critique of Latin American Reason is one of the most important philosophical texts to have come out of South America in recent decades. First published in 1996, it offers a sweeping critique of the foundational schools of thought in Latin American philosophy and critical theory. Santiago Castro-Gómez argues that “Latin America” is not so much a geographical entity, a culture, or a place, but rather an object of knowledge produced by a family of discourses in the humanities that are inseparably linked to colonial power relationships. Using the archaeological and genealogical methods of Michel Foucault, he analyzes the political, literary, and philosophical discourses and modes of power that have contributed to the making of “Latin America.” Castro-Gómez examines the views of a wide range of Latin American thinkers on modernity, postmodernity, identity, colonial history, and literature, also considering how these questions have intersected with popular culture. His critique spans Central and South America, and it also implicates broader and protracted global processes. This book presents this groundbreaking work of contemporary critical theory in English translation for the first time. It features a foreword by Linda Martín Alcoff, a new preface by the author, and an introduction by Eduardo Mendieta situating Castro-Gómez’s thought in the context of critical theory in Latin America and the Global South. Two appendixes feature an interview with Castro-Gómez that sheds light on the book’s composition and short provocations responding to each chapter from a multidisciplinary forum of contemporary scholars who resituate the work within a range of perspectives including feminist, Francophone African, and decolonial Black political thought.

Download or read book La Historia de Nila written by Norma Nelly Aguirre and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-02 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro, está dirigido a todas las personas interesadas en observar ciertos patrones o esquemas mentales de sus familias, para identificar algunos incidentes o, eventos que se repiten de generación en generación que bloquean el gozo de la vida. Cuando nos damos el permiso de observar estos esquemas mentales, podemos seguir el hilo de los acontecimientos hasta encontrar de dónde provienen. De esta manera, tenemos la opción de notar lo obvio y algunas veces lo sutil para lograr entender la forma en que nuestra vida ha sido alterada. La historia de Nila, es el viaje de un alma que pasa por las cadenas intergeneracionales de su grupo familiar desde sus ancestros, colaterales, hasta sus descendientes, para vivir toda clase de experiencias buenas, regulares, y malas, con el fin de trascenderlas para evolucionar a estados más altos de conciencia. El enfoque de la historia, apunta especialmente, a la parte emocional del ser humano que es la más ignorada y a la que menos prestamos atención, la cual, obviamente nos afecta. Algunas emociones como la tristeza, la rabia, la ansiedad, la depresión, por hechos ocurridos en el pasado, no nos permiten fluir con la vida. La invitación es leer esta narración con mente abierta y tomar aquella parte con la cual se identifique cada uno. Todas las familias tienen sus historias que de una u otra manera han modificado el presente de sus integrantes. Muchos eventos de las mismas podrían observarse para tomar conciencia, no repetir y facilitar así, nuestro proceso evolutivo.

This book was released on 2015-09-29 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cuando pensamos en una biblioteca, nos imaginamos un edificio en una calle o tal vez una sala en una escuela. Pero algunas bibliotecas no están encerradas entre paredes. Algunas se mueven de un lugar a otro de formas increíbles: en autobús, barco, elefante, burro, tren o incluso en carretilla. Estas innovadoras bibliotecas móviles suelen ser la única manera de llevar libros a la gente que vive en lugares remotos, como las montañas de Tailandia, el desierto Gobi de Mongolia o las zonas rurales de Zimbabue. En lugares como estos, la llegada de las bibliotecas es un gran evento muy anticipado. Sin embargo, los libros nunca llegarían a la gente sin el duro trabajo y la dedicación de los bibliotecarios y voluntarios. Margriet Ruurs, escritora y educadora, se puso en contacto con bibliotecarios de todo el mundo y les pidió que compartieran historias de sus bibliotecas. En muchos casos, los voluntarios y los bibliotecarios tomaron sus cámaras fotográficas y retrataron las caras felices de los niños al recibir los libros. El resultado es este ensayo fotográfico inspirador que celebra los libros, a los lectores y a los bibliotecarios. ¿Por qué los bibliotecarios se toman la molestia de empacar libros en el lomo de un elefante o manejar durante millas para llevar los libros en autobús? Porque, como dice un bibliotecario de Azerbaiyán, “la biblioteca móvil es tan importante como el aire o el agua”.

Book excerpt: ¿Qué es la sociología apasionada? ¿Es la sociología digna de pasión? Generalmente, la sociología se muestra como un sistema objetivo de pensamiento y práctica. La pasión se debe evitar o es, como mínimo, algo sospechoso. Ahora, por fin, contamos con un libro que argumenta de forma sincera sobre la pasión como algo necesario en la sociología. Este texto no trata simplemente de la sociología apasionada, sino que la demuestra. Este libro pretende entusiasmar a los lectores con un análisis de lo que puede hacer la sociología para ayudarles a comprender sus vidas y las condiciones sociales de nuestro tiempo. Presentando y desarrollando gran número de temas principales, entre ellos la identidad, el conocimiento, la metáfora, la magia, el deseo, el poder, la vida cotidiana y la mediación cultural, Sociología apasionada nos invita a analizar dichos temas mediante prácticas de lectura, escritura, oratoria, aprendizaje, narrativa, representación y organización. Diseñado para alumnos de todos los niveles, este libro altera notablemente la aproximación al estudio de la sociología, desafiando los manuales consolidados y apuntando nuevas e inspiradoras formas de acercarse a la materia.

Download or read book Marcel Proust and Spanish America written by Herbert E. Craig and published by Bucknell University Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Craig begins by attributing the early introduction of the Recherche to the intimate friendship between Proust and the pianist-composer Reynaldo Halm, who was born in Caracas. He then shows in chapter 1 how literary critics of the principal newspapers and literary magazines of such countries as Venezuela, Argentina, and Chile examined this French text, which we know today as one of the fundamental works of modernism. Shortly thereafter interest in the Recherche spread to Cuba, Mexico, Uruguay, and Colombia. Eventually it would be read in all parts of the New World. Over the years Spanish Americans have continued to write about the Recherche and have published several noteworthy books on it, which are included in the comprehensive bibliography which serves as an appendix."--BOOK JACKET.

This book was released on 2010-12-18 with total page 749 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Historical Dictionary of Latin American Literature and Theater provides users with an accessible single-volume reference tool covering Portuguese-speaking Brazil and the 16 Spanish-speaking countries of continental Latin America (Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela). 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 excerpt: Este vagar del pensamiento […] por caminos sin metas es semejante al pensar pensando, donde cada tanto nos sorprende un descubrimiento con valor de meta. En cuanto a las metas sin caminos, entiendo que se corresponden con hacer pasar los resultados de ese pensar distraído por el trazado que reconoce los rigores de la escritura. Algo así como trazar caminos para esas metas descubiertas en la distracción […]. Esta soltura me ayuda y me reconcilia con el escribir en este momento”. Salud ele-Mental. Con toda la mar detrás recorre, por momentos “hablando al azar de la memoria y sus vicisitudes”, conceptos clave de la psicología social como la Numerosidad Social, entre otros, al tiempo que propone una reconceptualización de la salud mental, desde (mejor dicho, con) la propia voz de su autor. Fernando Ulloa nos dejó en estas páginas no sólo parte de su vasta experiencia como “operador en la producción de salud mental”, sino también muchas de sus percepciones sobre temas que trascienden el campo de la psicología, del cual es considerado nada menos que uno de sus precursores en nuestro país.
