Book Synopsis El Quinto Evangelio by : Fernando Caballero
Download or read book El Quinto Evangelio written by Fernando Caballero and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2008-08-12 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Como el da del Bautismo, de pronto el cielo cambi de forma, o de profundidad, la noche se trunc en una gran masa de manto negro y temible. Desaparecieron las estrellas, la luna nunca haba salido, ahora estara tragada por la inmensa concavidad de la tormenta que se gesta. No hubo trueno, no hubo relmpago. Se desgarr la oscuridad en un torrente de agua, la lluvia demandada por la escasa fe de Flavinia. Jess que estaba a veinte pasos habra intervenido, despus de todo. Ciertamente no era necesario saberlo. El ruido del agua creci de a poco sobre las piedras colgantes, el agua fue al hoyo en rebanadas de gran fuerza, dilatando el polvo que ya no es. Flavinia se desgarr el manto que se haba aherido a su cuerpo de plomo, se abalanz para abrazar el lodo, y arrancar una raz muerta, una raz que ahora tendra vida, entre el agua, y la tierra que se ha vuelto arcilla; se frot el rostro, el cuello, hundi la cabellera antiguamente quemada, ahora la senta ya resucitar al roce de las rocas, dej que todos sus aos y su cuerpo desnudo se baaran como en Roma, sin perfume, pero con el agua que es ms pura de la que baja del Palatino en Primavera. El Quinto Evangelio establece un nexo entre el primer siglo de la cristiandad y el presente. Se lee en el Captulo de La Ejecucin: "Deodoro Contreras muri a las siete y cuarenta. La cmara qued invisible para Vespasiano y el abogado, y para todos en verdad, cuando se corri una pesada cortina. No les era permitido ver el descenso del cuerpo exnime desde el lecho de lino. Se puede afirmar, sin metforas, que se revivi una vez ms la escena de la muerte en la cruz. No obstante, nadie esper que Contreras pudiera acogerse esta vez a los beneficios de la resurreccin"
Book Synopsis Carlos Castaneda, Oportunismo Académico Y Los Psiquedélicos Años Sesenta by : Jay Courtney Fikes
Download or read book Carlos Castaneda, Oportunismo Académico Y Los Psiquedélicos Años Sesenta written by Jay Courtney Fikes and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-02 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millones de hispanohablantes consideran verídicos los libros de Carlos Castaneda, probablemente porque la mayoría de ellos no han leído esta traducción al español del libro del profesor Jay Fikes, Carlos Castaneda, oportunismo académico y los psiquedélicos años sesenta. El Dr. Fikes publicó este libro en Canadá en 1993, después de llevar a cabo años de investigación en México y en los Estados Unidos. Ahora dos españoles, Juan Samper y Lourdes Escario, han traducido el libro de Fikes sin retribución económica, convencidos de que será de provecho para todos. La afirmación central de Carlos Castaneda, haber aprendido brujería de un anciano indio yaqui llamado don Juan Matus, se contradice con las pruebas del profesor Jay Fikes. Su investigación revela que los escritos de Castaneda están basados en caricaturas de un huichol llamado Ramón Medina Silva y de otros indios mexicanos que conoció Castaneda. El libro de Fikes expone los elementos más sensacionalistas de la pseudoetnografía encantadora de Castaneda a la vez que examina quién y qué le ayudó a convertirse en un héroe antropológico y en uno de los padrinos del movimiento New Age. El libro de Fikes inspira respeto por los rituales huicholes de los primeros frutos y por las peregrinaciones del peyote, resume las ceremonias de la Native American Church y repasa los momentos culminantes de los años sesenta, la época turbulenta en la que Castaneda se convirtió en un autor de éxito. Fikes muestra cómo y por qué Aldous Huxley, el Dr. Timothy Leary, Gordon Wasson y varios antropólogos de Los Angeles contribuyeron a crear una audiencia ansiosa por creer que los cuentos chinos de Castaneda eran ciertos. Fikes explica cómo y por qué Castaneda y sus aliados antropólogos de la Universidad de California en Los Angeles hicieron de los huicholes un imán para buscadores de chamanes análogos al maestro de ficción de Castaneda, don Juan, poniendo así en peligro las ancestrales peregrinaciones del peyote de los huicholes. Algunos creyentes en las historias sensacionalistas de Castaneda contribuyeron al trágico fallo del Tribunal Supremo de los Estados Unidos de 1990, que denegaba la libertad religiosa a unos 300.000 miembros de la Native American Church que veneran el peyote. La extensa investigación de Fikes y su experiencia de primera mano con peyote entre los huicholes y en las ceremonias de la Native American Church le cualifican de modo excepcional para desacreditar las absurdas alegaciones de Castaneda sobre chamanes y peyote, entre ellas su afirmación de que el espíritu del peyote ("Mescalito") decretó su aprendizaje con don Juan Matus. El autor del prefacio, Dr. Phil Weigand, es Profesor Investigador del Centro de Estudios Arqueológicos en el Colegio de Michoacán. Ha publicado numerosos libros y artículos académicos sobre los huicholes, cuya historia y cultura empezó a estudiar en 1965 en San Sebastián con su esposa, Acelia Garcia. Los traductores de este libro, Lourdes (Clara) Escario y Juan Samper, son españoles. Lourdes Escario es licenciada en Filología Inglesa y profesora de inglés en un instituto de enseñanza secundaria en Palencia. Juan Samper es veterinario y licenciado en Filosofía. Tanto Juan Samper como Jay Fikes han llevado a cabo peregrinaciones bajo la tutela del mismo chamán huichol Jesús González. Carlos Castaneda's books are accepted as truthful by millions of Spanish speakers, probably because most of them have not read this Spanish translation of Professor Fikes' book, Carlos Castaneda, Academic Opportunism and the Psychedelic Sixties. Dr. Fikes published this book in 1993 in Canada, after completing years of research in Mexico and the United States. Now two Spaniards, Juan Samper and Lourdes Escario, have translated Fikes' book without payment, convinced that it is valuable for everybody. Carlos Castaneda's central claim, to have learned sorcery from an elderly Yaqui Indian named don Juan Matus, is contradicted by Professor Jay Fikes' evidence. Fikes'
Book Synopsis Historia mínima. La cultura mexicana en el siglo XX by : Carlos Monsiváis
Download or read book Historia mínima. La cultura mexicana en el siglo XX written by Carlos Monsiváis and published by El Colegio de Mexico AC. This book was released on 2010-02-09 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En esta obra póstuma, Carlos Monsiváis, con su estilo y erudición únicos, recorre un siglo de la vida cultural de México, si bien, como él mismo confiesa, ésta es una tarea inacabable a la que además se suma la brevedad de la obra, que le obliga a cerrar su crónica en la década de 1980, dejando fuera los movimientos y creadores de los dos últimos decenios del siglo XX. Su recorrido parte de la época del modernismo y pasa por todas las manifestaciones culturales que se desarrollan a lo largo de las siguientes décadas, como la narrativa de la Revolución, el muralismo, la cultura en los años veinte, los Contemporáneos, la poesía de la generación del 50 hasta llegar al año de la ruptura que representa 1968 y las manifestaciones culturales que de él se desprenden.

Book Synopsis La termodinámica de la pizza by : Harold J. Morowitz
Download or read book La termodinámica de la pizza written by Harold J. Morowitz and published by Editorial GEDISA. This book was released on 2016-09-21 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investigar la causa por la que es tan fácil quemarse el paladar al comer pizza, puede ser punto de partida de las interesantes consideraciones termodinámicas, y la aceituna en la copa de Martini, el comienzo de un viaje retrospectivo a través de una serie de importantes conquistas tecnológicas: cualquier pretexto es bueno para que el distinguido biofísico Harold J. Morowitz nos lleve, con un humor y una amenidad que no empañan en absoluto el rigor científico, de lo más particular a lo más general, de la anécdota cotidiana a las leyes universales, de las pequeñas preguntas a las grandes incógnitas y los incesantes esfuerzos del hombre por hallar respuestas. A través de sus ensayos, el autor pasa revista a los temas más apasionantes e insólitos de la ciencia y el pensamiento contemporáneos, desde las posibilidades y riesgos de la ingeniería genética hasta el paralelismo entre cerebros y ordenadores, pasando por las sutiles relaciones entre el béisbol y la filosofía.

Book Synopsis Soldaderas in the Mexican Military by : Elizabeth Salas
Download or read book Soldaderas in the Mexican Military written by Elizabeth Salas and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-07-04 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores the evolving role of women soldiers in Mexico—as both fighters and cultural symbols—from the pre-Columbian era to the present. Since pre-Columbian times, soldiering has been a traditional life experience for innumerable women in Mexico. Yet the many names given these women warriors—heroines, camp followers, Amazons, coronelas, soldadas, soldaderas, and Adelitas—indicate their ambivalent position within Mexican society. In this original study, Elizabeth Salas challenges many traditional stereotypes, shedding new light on the significance of these women. Drawing on military archival data, anthropological studies, and oral history interviews, Salas first explores the real roles played by Mexican women in armed conflicts. She finds that most of the functions performed by women easily equate to those performed by revolutionaries and male soldiers in the quartermaster corps and regular ranks. She then turns her attention to the soldadera as a continuing symbol, examining the image of the soldadera in literature, corridos, art, music, and film. Salas finds that the fundamental realities of war link all Mexican women, regardless of time period, social class, or nom de guerre.

Book Synopsis Repertoires of Terrorism by : Andreas E. Feldmann
Download or read book Repertoires of Terrorism written by Andreas E. Feldmann and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2024-06-25 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do armed groups employ terrorism in markedly different ways during civil wars? Drawing on more than a decade of fieldwork, Andreas E. Feldmann examines the disparate behavior of actors including guerrilla groups, state security forces, and paramilitaries during Colombia’s long and bloody civil war. Analyzing the varieties of violence in this conflict, he develops a new theory of the dynamics of terrorism in civil wars. Feldmann argues that armed groups’ distinct uses—repertoires—of terrorism arise from their particular organizational identities, the central and enduring attributes that distinguish one faction from other warring parties. He investigates a range of groups that took part in the Colombian conflict over the course of its evolution from ideological to criminal warfare, demonstrating that organizational identity plays a critical role in producing and rationalizing violence. Armed parties employ their unique repertoires as a means of communication to assert their relevance and territorial presence and to differentiate themselves from enemies and rivals. Repertoires of Terrorism is based on an extensive data set covering thousands of incidents, as well as interviews, archival research, and testimony. It sheds new light on both armed groups’ use of violence in Colombia’s civil war and the factors that shape terrorist activity in other conflicts.

Download or read book Hate Speech and Polarization in Participatory Society written by Marta Pérez-Escolar and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-30 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely volume offers a comprehensive and rigorous overview of the role of communication in the construction of hate speech and polarization in the online and offline arena. Delving into the meanings, implications, contexts and effects of extreme speech and gated communities in the media landscape, the chapters analyse misleading metaphors and rhetoric via focused case studies to understand how we can overcome the risks and threats stemming from the past decade’s defining communicative phenomena. The book brings together an international team of experts, enabling a broad, multidisciplinary approach that examines hate speech, dislike, polarization and enclave deliberation as cross axes that influence offline and digital conversations. The diverse case studies herein offer insights into international news media, television drama and social media in a range of contexts, suggesting an academic frame of reference for examining this emerging phenomenon within the field of communication studies. Offering thoughtful and much-needed analysis, this collection will be of great interest to scholars and students working in communication studies, media studies, journalism, sociology, political science, political communication and cultural industries.
