Download or read book Colonialism and Narrative in Puerto Rico written by Victor C. Simpson and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2004 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes the effect of the colonial experience on the protagonists in the novels of Pedro Juan Soto, a renowned author of the Puerto Rican «Generation of 1950». Arguing - in keeping with Soto's generational and personal pessimism - that the protagonists are anti-heroes who struggle with their environment and succumb to it in different ways, it acknowledges that the themes of the Puerto Rican novel are firmly rooted in the island's reality, and offers a cogent review of the literary and socio-political context against which Soto's work must be understood. It also inserts Soto into the canon of post-colonial writers while foregrounding his realist approach to characterization, which is the author's means of articulating his social concerns.

Book excerpt: El g?tico transmigrado. Narrativa puertorrique?a de horror, terror y misterio en el siglo XXI es un esfuerzo por entender la narrativa g?tica reciente de Puerto Rico, una ficci?n que se caracteriza por el pesimismo y el individualismo de sus personajes, por la desigualdad social y la violencia que esta genera, y, sobre todo, por ver la historia literaria puertorrique?a y los mitos vinculados con su historia sociopol?tica desde el lente del horror, el terror, lo siniestro y monstruoso. Los cap?tulos que componen este libro intentan construir una tradici?n g?tica a la vez que analizar m?s en profundidad el g?tico contempor?neo. Las obras escogidas para analizar, adem?s, muestran en su mayor?a una preocupaci?n por el contexto local en relaci?n, por momentos, con el global y con los legados de la historia nacional del pa?s, desde las colonizaciones espa?ola y estadounidense hasta los procesos socioecon?micos y pol?ticos m?s actuales, como la recesi?n, la deuda y las nuevas migraciones.

Download or read book La narrativa del miedo written by Cristina Bravo Rozas and published by Editorial Verbum. This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La emoción del miedo es tan antigua como el hombre, sin embargo en el caso de unade sus expresiones literarias, el cuento de terror, depende de un tratamiento literario determinado y de la creación de una atmósfera condicionada temporal y culturalmente,pues la percepción del miedo puede variar según las culturas y el paso del tiempo. La narrativa del miedo. Terror y horror en el cuento de Puerto Rico explora la narrativa del miedo, sentando las bases para el estudio del cuento de la isla antillana, donde historias de terror, realistas, extraordinarias, violentas o fantásticas determinan el efecto de horror y el suspense, lo maravilloso y lo mágico, y explican sus interrelaciones con el contexto histórico-cultural de la narrativa contemporánea de Puerto Rico, en que destacan importantes escritores de renombre internacional como Cayetano Coll y Toste, René Marqués,Luis Rafael Sánchez, Manuel Ramos Otero y Ana Lydia Vega, entre otros. “Antoine de Rivarol calificó el miedo como la más terrible de las pasiones porque aniquilaba la razón y paralizaba el espíritu. Flaubert anotó escuetamente en su personal Dictionnairedes idéesreçues: ‘Pone alas en los pies’.-La contradicción y el asombro-,nos explica Cristina Bravo Rozas son la entraña misma del sentimiento de terror que,como un ángel terrible nos acompaña durante toda nuestra existencia. Así nos explicamos nuestra afición al horror, a lo espeluznante, a esa emoción que nos paraliza y nos pone en fuga como una llamada del abismo que se empeña en disuadirnos de la descabellada idea de vivir sin hacer frente a los enigmas fundamentales que limitan nuestra existencia. Todo colinda con ese sentimiento enigmático: la belleza, la utopía filosófica, la creación poética, el milagro. Brilla con el mismo misterio en la luz que en las tinieblas, aunque lo creamos una criatura nocturna y lóbrega. Adopta la engañosa forma de la hermosura por más que estemos acostumbrados a su presencia en lo grotesco y horrísono. Prefiere el sueño a la vigilia, porque la imaginación se desliga de la atadura racional y renuncia a la lógica. En el sueño, el miedo precede a la causa. No sabemos de dónde viene, pero lo presentimos en toda su pureza. La creación literaria ha tratado de ceñir y anudar su misterio. La literatura puertorriqueña se reconoce en este libro como un territorio privilegiado y poco conocido para quien quiera atreverse a descubrir las causas del súbito temblor que nos produce.”-Arturo García Ramos- Cristina Bravo Rozas es Doctora en Filología Hispánica por la Universidad Complutense de Madrid y profesora del Departamento de Filología Española IV (Literatura Hispanoamericana y Bibliografía) de la UCM desde el año 1996. Sus investigaciones se han centrado en el cuento hispanoamericano de miedo y en particular el cuento puertorriqueño. Actualmente participa en un proyecto del Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia de España sobre el cuento hispanoamericano. El teatro hispanoamericano ha sido otra de sus líneas de investigación, en particular la recepción del teatro hispanoamericano en España y las nuevas poéticas de las dramaturgas de América Latina. Ha publicado diversos artículos y ensayos, y ha escrito capítulos para libros sobre Isidora Aguirre, Luis Alberto Heiremans y las últimas manifestaciones del teatro en Hispanoamérica.

Download or read book The Book of Daniel written by E.L. Doctorow and published by Random House. This book was released on 2010-11-10 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central figure of this novel is a young man whose parents were executed for conspiring to steal atomic secrets for Russia. His name is Daniel Isaacson, and as the story opens, his parents have been dead for many years. He has had a long time to adjust to their deaths. He has not adjusted. Out of the shambles of his childhood, he has constructed a new life—marriage to an adoring girl who gives him a son of his own, and a career in scholarship. It is a life that enrages him. In the silence of the library at Columbia University, where he is supposedly writing a Ph.D. dissertation, Daniel composes something quite different. It is a confession of his most intimate relationships—with his wife, his foster parents, and his kid sister Susan, whose own radicalism so reproaches him. It is a book of memories: riding a bus with his parents to the ill-fated Paul Robeson concert in Peekskill; watching the FBI take his father away; appearing with Susan at rallies protesting their parents’ innocence; visiting his mother and father in the Death House. It is a book of investigation: transcribing Daniel’s interviews with people who knew his parents, or who knew about them; and logging his strange researches and discoveries in the library stacks. It is a book of judgments of everyone involved in the case—lawyers, police, informers, friends, and the Isaacson family itself. It is a book rich in characters, from elderly grand- mothers of immigrant culture, to covert radicals of the McCarthy era, to hippie marchers on the Pen-tagon. It is a book that spans the quarter-century of American life since World War II. It is a book about the nature of Left politics in this country—its sacrificial rites, its peculiar cruelties, its humility, its bitterness. It is a book about some of the beautiful and terrible feelings of childhood. It is about the nature of guilt and innocence, and about the relations of people to nations. It is The Book of Daniel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely practical reference addresses the lack of Spanish-language resources for mental health professionals to use with their Latino clients. Geared toward both English- and Spanish-speaking practitioners in a variety of settings, this volume is designed to minimize misunderstandings between the clinician and client, and with that the possibility of inaccurate diagnosis and/or ineffective treatment. Coverage for each topic features a discussion of cultural considerations, guidelines for evidence-based best practices, a review of available findings, a treatment plan, plus clinical tools and client handouts, homework sheets, worksheets, and other materials. Chapters span a wide range of disorders and problems over the life-course, and include reproducible resources for: Assessing for race-based trauma. Using behavioral activation and cognitive interventions to treat depression among Latinos. Treating aggression, substance use, abuse, and dependence among Latino Adults. Treating behavioral problems among Latino adolescents. Treating anxiety among Latino children. Working with Latino couples. Restoring legal competency with Latinos. The Toolkit for Counseling Spanish-Speaking Clients fills a glaring need in behavioral service delivery, offering health psychologists, social workers, clinical psychologists, neuropsychologists, and other helping professionals culturally-relevant support for working with this under served population. The materials included here are an important step toward dismantling barriers to mental health care.

Book excerpt: Regarded by literary historians as the play that signaled the start of modern Mexican drama, this enthralling play is set in 1930s post-revolutionary Mexico and was censored by the Mexican government in its first years of the late 1940s. It centers around C�sar Rubio, a failed history professor who is mistaken for a missing revolutionary hero by the same name, but instead of an error he sees an opportunity and attempts to capitalize on the other man's fame. He quickly becomes disillusioned with his new false identity and gets swept up in a campaign for governor, leading him to realize there is more to politics than famous names and just exactly what happened to the real C�sar Rubio.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Laura Restrepo's stunning novel, a feud between two Colombian drug families escalates into a bloody, high-stakes war that will leave no one in its path untouched. The Barragáns and the Monsalves are rival clans, each steeped in wealth and power, each subject only to laws of their own making. The similarities end there. While the Barragáns, headed by the brutal Nando, remain tied to the ancient traditions, the Monsalves grapple with whether or not to follow Mani, their charismatic and conflicted leader, into a modern age in which even fewer rules apply. As both clans ponder the profits they might reap from an expanding global cocaine trade, Nando and Mani are faced with the consequences of their violent pasts--and forced, by their disillusioned women and the prices on their heads, to reckon with the possibility that nothing will be left once all their bullets have found their targets. Rife with sensual detail, this epic story of lust, betrayal, and revenge is as timeless as interfamily conflict and as immediate as today's news.
