This book was released on 2016-12-30 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LA CORRIDA DE AYER...... INTRODUCCIÓN.Cada tarde de domingo, al escuchar el nostálgico tañer de campanas, pienso que hace tantísimos años, están ahí recordándonos; que junto con los españoles llegó a América el idioma, la religión y la fiesta de los toros. "La Corrida de ayer..." es un título más bien sugestivo que evoca los encabezados de los rotativos y que a través de las décadas aparece así. Por lo general, los lunes. En "La Corrida de ayer..." he enfrentado los acertijos que un empresario tiene, me supongo, cuando de confeccionar un cartel postinero se trata. Ya de por sí el afán protagónico, se encuentra implícito en la naturaleza misma del espectáculo taurino. Así se comprueba en las múltiples publicaciones que abordan el tema: biografías, autobiografías, etc., y se margina un tanto el fenómeno social taurómaco. La única fórmula válida utilizada aquí por tanto, fue la de hacer a un lado las preferencias o simpatías por un determinado suceso o personaje, recurriendo al azar porque las crónicas ni siquiera han sido elegidas. Son descubiertas, a veces, tras largas pesquisas y el reordenamiento de auténticos rompecabezas de vetusto papel impreso a punto de desbaratarse entre mis manos. Las hazañas que aquí aparecen, en ocasiones dan la impresión de surgir más del terreno de lo fantástico y lo mágico, que de lo verídico. La fiesta de los toros tiene la particularidad de ser susceptible a la exageración de las cualidades de los personajes y sus gestas, y en ocasiones suele adolecer quien de ellas habla o escribe; de una desproporción tal, que la realidad es trastocada hasta el borde de lo mitológico. Tal vez exista en los seres humanos esta necesidad, la misma que ha dado infinidad de testimonios y variados títulos, publicados incluso, y que al pretender ser comprobados históricamente a menudo resultan ser inciertos producto más de la imaginación y de la charla de sobremesa; y aquí cabe citar a Valle Inclán, cuando sentencia "nada es como es, sino como se recuerda" que de la realidad. En " La Corrida de ayer...", las llamada figuras, aparecen por derecho propio y en algunos episodios aparecen no precisamente durante su mejor momento o actuación, mostrando incluso, desfachatez y falta de profesionalismo, a diferencia de otros como "Juan sin miedo", Manolete, Gaona, El Calesero, e incluso el oscuro " Torcuato" , que van en todas por todas, enfrentando el implacable veredicto del más severo de los fiscales. La historia, que junto con el toro en este mundillo taurino, es quien finalmente da a cada quien su sitio. Por su parte, los cronistas, nos muestran su relato a veces apasionado, a veces tendencioso y hasta certero y pleno de conocimiento, tanto de la lidia, como del manejo del lenguaje y el "argot" , y gracias a ello, podemos observar a distancia desde el postigo del tiempo, a través de la rendija que quedó abierta en los archivos y los anales de la memoria periodística e histórica , tan solo por citar un ejemplo, la eterna desigualdad e inequidad del ser humano que encumbra a unos y soterra a otros, sin compasión alguna, Así se aprecia cuando el "Pasmo de Triana" Juan Belmonte, sufre un pequeño rasguño sin importancia en 1914 en San Pedro Tlaquepaque y la noticia da vuelta al mundo, mientras el humilde "Alegrías chico" sufre la amputación de uno de sus miembros a causa de la cornada que le infiere un toro y la mezquindad de los aficionados, no da más que para reunir en su beneficio la "pingüe", cantidad de cien pesos y su relego al olvido. He de esperar que la lectura de este compendio, haga disfrutar al aficionado y al simple lector, tanto como yo he disfrutado en el momento de realizarlo.Cabe aquí acotar, que la fiesta de los toros, con toda su grandeza no es ni más ni menos que un festejo de tradición y origen popular. Herencia de los españoles que a su vez, adoptaron de otras culturas, sobre todo mediterráneas y que con toda frialdad y muy a nuestro pesar.

Book Synopsis The Forbidden Religion by : Jose M. Herrou Aragon
Download or read book The Forbidden Religion written by Jose M. Herrou Aragon and published by José M. Herrou Aragón. This book was released on 2012-07-03 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gnosis means knowledge. But we are not referring to just any knowledge. Gnosis is knowledge which produces a great transformation in those who receive it. Knowledge capable of nothing less than waking up man and helping him to escape from the prison in which he finds himself. That is why Gnosis has been so persecuted throughout the course of history, because it is knowledge considered dangerous for the religious and political authorities who govern mankind from the shadows. Every time this religion, absolutely different from the rest, appears before man, the other religions unite to try to destroy or hide it again. Primordial Gnosis is the original Gnosis, true Gnosis, eternal Gnosis, Gnostic knowledge in its pure form. Due to multiple persecutions, Primordial Gnosis has been fragmented, distorted and hidden.

Book excerpt: "Substantially the book that devotees of the director have been waiting for: a full-length critical work about Ozu's life, career and working methods, buttressed with reproductions of pages from his notebooks and shooting scripts, numerous quotes from co-workers and Japanese critics, a great many stills and an unusually detailed filmography."—Sight and Sound Yasujiro Ozu, the man whom his kinsmen consider the most Japanese for all film directors, had but one major subject, the Japanese family, and but one major theme, its dissolution. The Japanese family in dissolution figures in every one of his fifty-three films. In his later pictures, the whole world exists in one family, the characters are family members rather than members of a society, and the ends of the earth seem no more distant than the outside of the house.
Book Synopsis The Soils of Mexico by : Pavel Krasilnikov
Download or read book The Soils of Mexico written by Pavel Krasilnikov and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-02-12 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mexico is an extensive country with an extremely complex mosaic of landscapes. The soils of Mexico have still not been completely studied, and there are few publications available on this subject. This book provides a state-of-the-art view on Mexican soils, their geographical distribution, their use and degradation. This is a first attempt to give a systematized characteristic of the soil resources of Mexico. Land resources of the second-biggest economy in Latin America are critical for its sustainable development, and a demand for adequate soil information is high. The information contained within can be used for any soil-related research done in Mexico and in neighboring countries. The book includes detailed characteristics of soils of all the physiographic regions of Mexico with maps, photos and explanatory schemes. The book is based on the experiences of the authors in research and soil survey, as well as on the existent, mainly ‘grey’ literature on Mexican soils. The book is recommended for researchers and university readers, students of all levels and decision-makers, working in the area of soil science, environmental issues, Earth sciences, land management and nature conservation.
Book Synopsis Media, Technology, and Literature in the Nineteenth Century by : Dr Colette Colligan
Download or read book Media, Technology, and Literature in the Nineteenth Century written by Dr Colette Colligan and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2013-05-28 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Operating at the intersection where new technology meets literature, this collection discovers the relationship among image, sound, and touch in the long nineteenth century. The chapters speak to the special mixed-media properties of literature, while exploring the important interconnections of science, technology, and art at the historical moment when media was being theorized, debated, and scrutinized. Each chapter focuses on a specific visual, acoustic, or haptic dimension of media, while also calling attention to the relationships among the three. Famous works such as Wordsworth's "I wandered lonely as a cloud" and Shelley's Frankenstein are discussed alongside a range of lesser-known literary, scientific, and pornographic writings. Topics include the development of a print culture for the visually impaired; the relationship between photography and narrative; the kaleidoscope and modern urban experience; Christmas gift books; poetry, painting and music as remediated forms; the interface among the piano, telegraph, and typewriter; Ernst Heinrich Weber's model of rationalized tactility; and how the shift from visual to auditory telegraphic instruments amplified anxieties about the place of women in nineteenth-century information networks. Full of surprising insights and connections, the collection offers new impetus for stimulating historical conversations and debates about nineteenth-century media, while also contributing fresh perspectives on new media and (re)mediation today.
Book Synopsis Pride Parades and LGBT Movements by : Abby Peterson
Download or read book Pride Parades and LGBT Movements written by Abby Peterson and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.tandfebooks.com/doi/view/10.4324/9781315474052, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license Today, Pride parades are staged in countries and localities across the globe, providing the most visible manifestations of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer and intersex movements and politics. Pride Parades and LGBT Movements contributes to a better understanding of LGBT protest dynamics through a comparative study of eleven Pride parades in seven European countries - Czech Republic, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK - and Mexico. Peterson, Wahlström and Wennerhag uncover the dynamics producing similarities and differences between Pride parades, using unique data from surveys of Pride participants and qualitative interviews with parade organizers and key LGBT activists. In addition to outlining the histories of Pride in the respective countries, the authors explore how the different political and cultural contexts influence: Who participates, in terms of socio-demographic characteristics and political orientations; what Pride parades mean for their participants; how participants were mobilized; how Pride organizers relate to allies and what strategies they employ for their performances of Pride. This book will be of interest to political scientists and sociologists with an interest in LGBT studies, social movements, comparative politics and political behavior and participation.

Download or read book In Excess written by Masha Salazkina and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-08-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1920s and ’30s, Mexico attracted an international roster of artists and intellectuals—including Orson Welles, Katherine Anne Porter, and Leon Trotsky—who were drawn to the heady tumult engendered by battling cultural ideologies in an emerging center for the avant-garde. Against the backdrop of this cosmopolitan milieu, In Excess reconstructs the years that the renowned Soviet director Sergei Eisenstein spent in the country to work on his controversial film ¡Que Viva Mexico! Illuminating the inextricability of Eisenstein’s oeuvre from the global cultures of modernity and film, Masha Salazkina situates this unfinished project within the twin contexts of postrevolutionary Mexico and the ideas of such contemporaneous thinkers as Walter Benjamin. In doing so, Salazkina explains how Eisenstein’s engagement with Mexican mythology, politics, and art deeply influenced his ideas, particularly about sexuality. She also uncovers the role Eisenstein’s bisexuality played in his creative thinking and identifies his use of the baroque as an important turn toward excess and hybrid forms. Beautifully illustrated with rare photographs, In Excess provides the most complete genealogy available of major shifts in this modern master’s theories and aesthetics.
