Book Synopsis Not Just for Children by : Harold E. Hinds
Download or read book Not Just for Children written by Harold E. Hinds and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 1992-07-22 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This pioneering study presents an overview of the Mexican comic book industry, together with in-depth studies of the best selling Mexican comic books of the 1960s and 1970s. Most of the popular superhero, adventure, humor, romance, political, detective, and Western comic books are described and analyzed in detail, and then discussed in terms of how they reflect both Mexican and United States cultures. The study concludes with a critical discussion of the media imperialism hypothesis' applicability to the Mexican comic book. The comic book is Mexico's most popular print medium, read by all ages and socio-economic groups. Many may be surprised to learn that, in Mexico, Mexican comic books far outsell U.S. comic books in Spanish translation. The Mexican comic book is not a clone of its U.S. model, but rather a hybrid product that mixes U.S. forms and conventions with Mexican content. This work is a major contribution to the understanding of contemporary Mexican culture.
Book Synopsis Dialogues Across Diasporas by : Marion Christina Rohrleitner
Download or read book Dialogues Across Diasporas written by Marion Christina Rohrleitner and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dialogues Across Diasporas focuses on the shared historical legacies of members of the Africana and Latina diasporas, and the cultural impact of the African diaspora in the Americas. This book seeks to emphasize connections rather than divisions among different migratory ethnic communities via a reconfiguration of borders and ethnic identities. This collection of essays has three major goals: first, to foreground shared themes and strategies in the literary productions of women of Africana and Latina/o descent; second, to highlight the importance of the arts for community activism within shared diasporic spaces; and third, to illustrate the potential of artistic and activist collaborations among women from both groups across disciplinary, political, national, and ethnic divides. Dialogues across Diasporas is divided into three sections. The first section provides a theoretical overview of diasporic migrations, politics, and identities. It argues that diverse diasporas can unite around shared political and cultural experiences such as converting contested spaces into communities and resisting rhetorics of exclusion. The second section demonstrates the diverse ways in which migratory women and daughters of the diaspora frame their histories, lived experiences, and different forms of knowledge via poetry, short stories, academic essays, and other art forms. The third section focuses on women's activism, suggesting opportunities for collaboration among and between diverse diasporic communities.

Book Synopsis Romancing Yesenia by : Masha Salazkina
Download or read book Romancing Yesenia written by Masha Salazkina and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2024-08-06 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book considers the unexpected and mostly unexamined popularity of the Mexican film Yesenia (Alfredo B. Crevenna, 1971) in the Soviet Union. Set during the Second Franco-Mexican war, this unassuming movie melodrama was based on a successful television series, itself an adaptation of a popular women's romance graphic novel, a genre that was extremely common in mid-century Mexico. Screened in the Soviet Union in 1975, Yesenia became the highest grossing film in the history of Soviet film exhibition, unsurpassed by any movie, foreign or domestic. Based on ticket sales alone, it was seen by an astounding 91.4 million viewes in only the first year of its release. Yesenia's popularity in the socialist bloc, largely unbeknown to its Mexican producers, continued for decades after its initial release as the film migrated from cinemas to television screens and video. Boosted by its success with Soviet audiences, the film enjoyed a similarly spectacular exhibition history in China in the late 1970s, when the country was opening itself up to more international media, paving the way for other Mexican and Latin American productions broadcasted on Chinese television in decades to follow. Approaching this period restrospectively, cognizant of more contemporary developments in the global media, I conceive of this episode in film history through a framework of television culture whose increasing impact, I argue, shaped both the film's Mexican production and its subsequent reception within the Socialist bloc. I also argue that Yesenia's popularity carved out a crucial node within the global circuit of cultural and industrial networks, further enabling Latin American media's transcontinental reach"--Provided by publisher.

Book Synopsis La Otra Mitad de Nosotros by : F. Rubi
Download or read book La Otra Mitad de Nosotros written by F. Rubi and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-01-11 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uno de los grandes males que agobian al mundo actualmente, es la desesperanza. Una desesperanza nacida de la frustración, propiciada por la gran crisis económica que nos atosiga y que parece no tener solución, por lo menos en el corto plazo. La idea que se nos vendió, avalada por los medios masivos de comunicación, de un mundo globalizado promisorio, con oportunidades para todos, se desmoronó como un castillo de naipes al primer soplo de inestabilidad. Pero esta situación que ahora padecemos, producto de la avaricia y la falta de escrúpulos más ruin que pueda imaginarse, no se dio de un día para otro; se fue incubando, por años, al interior del sistema financiero internacional como un mal bicho que al hacer su aparición de manera intempestiva, cogió a todo mundo desprevenido y sin saber qué medidas tomar para remediar la situación. Los expertos, emocionados con un sistema económico en expansión, nunca se imaginaron que algo podría salirse del carril desbarrancándose, y arrastrara consigo a la mayoría de los países que participaban en el juego. No pensaron que las triquiñuelas de las que echaron mano, durante tanto tiempo, para enriquecer a unos cuantos vivales, tuvieran un efecto tan expansivo y, por lo mismo, tan devastador, en la mayoría de las sociedades inmiscuidas y por eso mismo, atrapadas irremediablemente en la debacle financiera. LA OTRA MITAD DE NOSOTROS toca el tema de manera puntual, lo mismo que los temas de la injusticia, la educación, la política (la mala política, que acostumbra sentar sus reales en muchos países en el mundo y de la que es muy difícil desprenderse), la religión y la música; de ésta última y de manera especial, hace una semblanza novedosa y conmovedora de Los Beatles, el genial cuarteto de Liverpool, que influyó de manera decisiva y profunda en el ánimo de toda una generación y que sigue causando expectativas y comentarios en los corrillos discográficos, con una visión original y muy personal del autor. No hay tema de importancia relevante que esta obra no toque y lo hace a través de un lenguaje simple, enriquecido con todo tipo de florituras lingüísticas que no solo lo hacen único, sino completamente comprensible y disfrutable en todo momento. La obra consta de ocho capítulos y una posdata; cada capítulo lleva por título, el título de una canción conocida de la década de los setentas y nos atreveríamos a decir que pocas veces en la historia de la literatura universal, el nombre del capítulo tiene tanta afinidad con el tema que retrata, pero, y esto es lo verdaderamente importante, los capítulos se podrían alterar, entremezclar o leerse como un ente individual y aún así, no perdería ni su sentido ni su frescor. De la mano del personaje principal, vamos descubriendo el sub mundo incomprensible, a veces absurdo y hostil, en el que nos movemos constantemente sin percatarnos apenas de su presencia. Vivimos el día a día y los actos que rigen nuestra conducta para con los demás, aquellos que nos son ajenos o extraños son, en el mejor de los casos, de una total arrogancia. En no pocas ocasiones, los miramos con un desprecio poco disimulado, porque los consideramos seres sin valor, objetos que se pueden comprar o vender, insultar o lastimar sin que sintamos culpa por ello. Los valores que regían nuestra conducta, hasta bien entrada la última parte del siglo veinte, se han ido perdiendo poco a poco, para dar paso a una nueva visión del mundo, con enfoques que a muchos nos parecen ruines y perversos. Pero no se piense, por esto, que todo está perdido. A lo largo de su periplo, nuestro personaje recibe constantes muestras de solidaridad y afecto aún de los que nada tienen, de aquellos menos favorecidos por la suerte, lo que demuestra que los seres humanos somos capaces de superar los escollos más difíciles que se nos presenten con un poco de ayuda y que nuestra capacidad de reacción, en momentos críticos y ante los embates del destino, demuestran que nuestra mayor
