Book Synopsis The Generation of '72 by : Brantley Nicholson
Download or read book The Generation of '72 written by Brantley Nicholson and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2014-03-21 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Caught between the well-worn grooves the Boom and the Gen-X have left on the Latin American literary canon, the writing intellectuals that comprise what the Generation of '72 have not enjoyed the same editorial acclaim or philological framing as the literary cohorts that bookend them. In sociopolitical terms, they neither fed into the Cold War-inflected literary prizes that sustained the Boom nor the surge in cultural capital in Latin American cities from which the writers associated with the Crack and McOndo have tended to write. This book seeks to approach the Generation of '72 from the perspective of cosmopolitanism and global citizenship, a theoretical framework that lends a fresh and critical architecture to the unique experiences and formal responses of a group of intellectuals that wrote alongside globalization's first wave.

Book Synopsis Pragmatic Perspectives on Language and Linguistics Volume I by : Iwona Witczak-Plisiecka
Download or read book Pragmatic Perspectives on Language and Linguistics Volume I written by Iwona Witczak-Plisiecka and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-12-14 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Speech Actions in Theory and Applied Studies, the first of the two volumes of Pragmatic Perspectives on Language and Linguistics, brings together twenty essays which critically examine linguistic action and explore ways in which it can be accounted for. The articles presented in this collection are all focused on “doing things with words”, but in most cases do not subscribe to speech act theory in the tradition of John L. Austin and John R. Searle. The linking thread through the volume is not a theoretical commitment to one of the speech-act theoretical models, but the authors’ perspective on language as a means of action, how linguistic expressions become effective in context and how this effectiveness can be explicated. The papers represent different pragmatic approaches and varied levels of expertise in the research area; among the authors there are eminent linguists and philosophers, well established researchers, and young beginners. The texts include purely theoretical discussions, case studies, reports on research in experimental pragmatics, contrastive and corpus studies, and considerations of the pedagogical implications of pragmatic reflection on the nature of language. Without purporting to cover all relevant topics, this variety reflects the complex character of linguistic pragmatics and integrates studies which cross-cut other research fields. The book is divided in three parts. The seven papers gathered in the first part of the volume, “Speech Action in Theory”, are concentrated on theoretical issues pertaining to speech as a type of action with emphasis both on linguistic forms (e.g. fragments) and theoretical commitments and particular theories’ explanatory power. Part two, “Case Studies & Experimental Pragmatics”, includes reports on research into irony processing in Polish and in English as a second language, intercultural differences in interactions broadcast in the media, power relations in doctor/patient interaction, and metaphors in media discourse at the time of crisis. Part three, “Pragmatics, Grammar, and Language Pedagogy”, contains five essays, which explore both more “formal” pragmatics through analyses of grammatical forms and the interface which the analysis of these forms share with context-grounded research, and the practical implications of pragmatic knowledge in language didactics. This collection is supplemented by the essays gathered in volume two, entitled Pragmatics of Semantically Restricted Domains.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are numerous ways to understand failure in literature: failure to produce a work of demonstrable literary merit, or failure to publish a work despite such merit; failure to see something translated, adapted or performed adequately, or indeed to see it translated, adapted or performed at all; failure to establish a connection with the contemporary reading public, failure to please critics, or to charm readers and hence the failure to achieve substantial sales.

Book Synopsis Retrato de un hombre libre by : Agustín García Simón
Download or read book Retrato de un hombre libre written by Agustín García Simón and published by Editorial Renacimiento. This book was released on 2013-01-14 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La tradición cultural que alimentó a los grandes maestros en las aulas de institutos y universidades españolas se ha ido extinguiendo en los últimos años, como acervo incompatible con una sociedad que niega o, simplemente, ignora la entrega callada y sabia de los viejos profesores. El ruido mediático, la velocidad y vértigo de nuestro tiempo, han arrumbado vidas y trayectorias dedicadas por vocación y pasión al saber y su transmisión, como concepto inseparable del conocimiento, la ética y el civismo. Hay que retroceder a las postrimerías del siglo pasado para encontrar los últimos eslabones sueltos de lo que antaño fue una cadena brillante y sólida de pedagogía humanística y crítica, que unía sabiduría y vida como ejemplo y método de enseñanza. Es el caso de don Santiago de los Mozos, catedrático de las universidades de Granada y Valladolid en la segunda mitad del siglo XX, protagonista de este Retrato de un hombre libre; retrato intelectual, en efecto, de uno de los maestros españoles más desconocidos y, a la vez, más fascinantes del espectro universitario español contemporáneo. Su porte institucionista, aunque nunca pasó por la Institución Libre de Enseñanza, su temple maireniano, su ideario ilustrado que expresaba una inteligencia excepcional y un don de la palabra que le hicieron justamente célebre en su medio, van revelándose en esta obra a través de un agudo diálogo entre el autor y el maestro, hasta conformar un atractivo ensayo, intenso y apasionado, sobre la historia y cultura españolas en sus claves más importantes, y en sus demonios característicos y redivivos. Un retrato espléndido que desprende por doquier la natural grandeza del maestro, cuya lección ilumina con finísima ironía la España democrática que va de la Transición al año 2000. Agustín García Simón (Montemayor –Valladolid–, 1953). Editor, escritor y periodista, ha dedicado su vida profesional a la cultura del libro, aunque sigue atento a la actualidad en sus colaboraciones en distintos medios periodísticos. En los últimos treinta años ha dirigido la edición de cientos de libros, seis de los cuales han merecido premios nacionales a los libros mejor editados. Su inclinación por la historia y el humanismo le han llevado a una exigente labor editorial en la que han primado los temas y figuras más abiertos y universales de la cultura y lengua españolas de naturaleza castellana. Entre sus grandes obras como editor destacan: Historia de una Cultura (4 vols.), 1995-1996; Historia de la Ciencia y de la Técnica en la Corona de Castilla (4 vols.), 2002; o la recuperación histórica de los Viajes de extranjeros por España y Portugal (6 vols.), 1999, de don José García Mercadal. Ha publicado ensayos sobre viajes y viajeros extranjeros por España, pero como autor es conocido, fundamentalmente, por el libro que dedicó al retiro del emperador Carlos V: El ocaso del emperador. Carlos V en Yuste (1995). Como narrador se dio a conocer con una singular novela: Valcarlos (Premio Miguel Delibes de narrativa, 2005); y, sobre todo, con los doce relatos que reunió en su última obra: Cuando leas esta carta, yo habré muerto (2009).
