Book excerpt: The complex narrative technique of one of Spain's most renowned contemporary authors. The writings of Arturo Pérez-Reverte, one of Spain's most renowned contemporary authors, have been described as a minefield. This monograph examines the complexities behind the narrative technique employed in creating such a minefield, including an analysis of the role played by both male and female characters, the relevance of the past as a motif, and aspects of the role of storytelling in creating mystery where none should exist. Both Revertian novelsand journalistic writing are seen to be part of an over-all game which is played between their author and his readers. Film, too, forms part of the material reviewed as, though Pérez-Reverte is not a script writer, many films have been based on his novels. The text-centred analysis concludes that the themes of interest in all Revertian output revolve around two main areas: the significance of the past, whether historical, cultural, or literary, andthe role of the written word in communicating, in rescuing and in challenging versions of that past in order to combat what Pérez-Reverte terms 'dismemory'. ANNE L. WALSH lectures in Hispanic Studies at University College, Cork.

Book excerpt: La condición de la posmodernidad es ya un clásico de la bibliografía contemporánea. Más allá de su riqueza en el análisis del pasaje de la modernidad a la posmodernidad o de la transformación económico-política del capitalismo tardío, hay en él dos ejes que vale la pena resaltar. En los comienzos de la modernidad, sobre todo si se los hace coincidir con el nacimiento del capitalismo, se produce un desgarramiento, una desapropiación, que no deja indiferentes a las experiencias del tiempo y del espacio. El capital aniquila espacios concretos por medio del tiempo. Rota cada vez con más celeridad para garantizar ganancias. El espacio se hace abstracto y se presta a los cálculos, pero queda exangüe de la vida que sólo podría venirle de una intencionalidad. Así, el espacio, vuelto efímero por la rotación temporal, incuba una dimensión de un sueño: intemporal, estético, eternalista, instalado en el ser, que se empieza a contraponer a una ética del devenir. La cultura, parte de la vida histórica, y también categoría de la ciencia social, se proyecta entonces como tradición y valores en armonía con esas mismas condiciones socio-económicas que admiten una conceptuación donde se las aprecia como una totalidad. Es este el segundo aspecto a señalar: Harvey no cae en la inconsistencia de postular una posmodernidad y verla desde una metodología de la dispersión. La mirada de geógrafo que el autor mantiene se adapta a una realidad que se hace planetaria, que se globaliza en finanzas y comunicaciones en un proceso total que no deja de seguir siendo, todavía, el del intento de combatir, aun en la sutileza de la definición de realidades, una hiperacumulación que es el lugar de la crisis de las sociedades capitalistas contemporáneas.

This book was released on 2024-03-08 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, renowned Latin American intellectuals, Pablo Alabarces and Néstor García Canclini, bring us up to date on the changes in the status and role of the popular classes in Latin American democracies over the past two decades. Building on decades-long research and experience in the field of cultural studies, the authors ask how the digitalization and economization of society are changing the reality of political participation and social inequality in Latin America and beyond, leading to new forms of economic and cultural marginalization. García Canclini focuses on the rapid digitalization of our society and economies, ruminating over the future of political participation and democracy in the coming age of algorithms, transnationalization, and social precarity for growing swaths of the population. By contrast, Alabarces focuses on the disintegration and commodification of popular cultures throughout Latin America in the last two decades and discusses the consequences on democratic projects in the region. Both pieces approach the question of how democratic projects on a local, regional, national, and transnational level can deal with galloping social disintegration and accelerating political discontent as an increasing number of people within the course of this digital revolution gain voice: all this against the authoritarian or technocratic alternatives that have been gaining ground again. The introduction by Sarah Corona contextualizes the contributions and their authors in the academic and political debate. She connects their focus on popular cultures to broader questions regarding the future of nation-states and democracies facing multiple crises in the region and beyond. Post-Popular Cultures and Digital Capitalism in Latin America will be of interest to researchers and postgraduate students in political science, sociology, and cultural studies looking to freshen their views as well as develop an understanding of the Global South’s perspective on current global issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La posmodernidad, con su catálogo de términos propios como particularidad, coyunturalidad, fragmentación, deconstrucción, interpretación, diferencia, discontinuidad... es una especie de ’koiné’ o lenguaje común que articula diversas teorías técnicas, filosóficas y artísticas. Este nuevo idioma pretende llenarnos el corazón de desconfianza hacia todo lo que la modernidad presentó como definitivo, unívoco y total. Pero no es un salto en el vacío, es un volver a los temas de la modernidad quizá con otra mirada y otra sensibilidad. Es ésta una obra colectiva que consta de cinco conferencias que, desde diferentes puntos de vista, tratan el debate entre la modernidad y la posmodernidad pero indirectamente, cuentan con el debate pero no se detienen en él porque su meta es otra: para Reyes Mata el objetivo es pensar de nuevo la política, partiendo del sufrimiento del hombre concreto que exige responsabilidad a quien no ha causado sus dolores; para Julián Carvajal es traernos a la consideración la ’Paz perpetua’ de Kant con su ideal cosmopolita; para Carlos Thiebaut consiste en una concepción de la democracia que permita una visión diferencialista de la igualdad y un trato igualitario de las diferencias; para Antonio Hernández se trata de una nueva forma de pensar que conjugue el rigor científico con la subjetividad, la complejidad con la diferencia; y para José Luis Mora el fin es recordarnos que, frente a la racionalidad matemática de la modernidad, la literatura española ha mantenido una tradición muy posmoderna de pluralidad, cotidianeidad y sensualidad.

Book excerpt: An analysis of contemporary violence as the new commodity of today's hyper-consumerist stage of capitalism. “Death has become the most profitable business in existence.” —from Gore Capitalism Written by the Tijuana activist intellectual Sayak Valencia, Gore Capitalism is a crucial essay that posits a decolonial, feminist philosophical approach to the outbreak of violence in Mexico and, more broadly, across the global regions of the Third World. Valencia argues that violence itself has become a product within hyper-consumerist neoliberal capitalism, and that tortured and mutilated bodies have become commodities to be traded and utilized for profit in an age of impunity and governmental austerity. In a lucid and transgressive voice, Valencia unravels the workings of the politics of death in the context of contemporary networks of hyper-consumption, the ups and downs of capital markets, drug trafficking, narcopower, and the impunity of the neoliberal state. She looks at the global rise of authoritarian governments, the erosion of civil society, the increasing violence against women, the deterioration of human rights, and the transformation of certain cities and regions into depopulated, ghostly settings for war. She offers a trenchant critique of masculinity and gender constructions in Mexico, linking their misogynist force to the booming trade in violence. This book is essential reading for anyone seeking to analyze the new landscapes of war. It provides novel categories that allow us to deconstruct what is happening, while proposing vital epistemological tools developed in the convulsive Third World border space of Tijuana.

Book excerpt: ZOMBIE FACTOR is a study about the determinant factor of changing in people and society. In people are presented as indicative of a biological change in puberty. It is the transition from child to adult. In societies it occurs when human groups reach the top of the social organization and begins the decline until the dissolution of the social model. This factor is essentially characterized by two readily observable characteristics, isolation and automation. Isolation is a psychic character and is marked by a complete apathy of the person towards everything and everyone. The automation instead is physical character. It is identified by a low mobility of joints and high stiffness when walking. The person seems an automaton when him move. In many cases drag his feet when walking. In addition to these two features, here we will study ten traits for a total of twelve toward characterization of Zombie Factor. We make a trace of the features of Zombie Factor through the culture of the living dead. Then, we consider the features itself of Zombie Factor. And finally, we trait apply them to the study of historical transitions from Antiquity to the Middle Ages, from there to Modernity and from there to Postmodernism. These periods of the history of mankind is characterized by a strong manifestation of Zombie Factor.

Book excerpt: ESTE LIBRO EXPLICA CON PROSA CLARA CÓMO SE LEGITIMA HOY EL ORDEN SOCIAL Y ARROJA UNA MIRADA INNOVADORA PARA ENTENDER LAS IDEOLOGÍAS EN LA SOCIEDAD ACTUAL. El objetivo de este libro es replantear la noción de ideología a partir de la idea del imaginario social. Aunque esta haya sido abordada desde diferentes ángulos en el pensamiento sociológico actual, aquí el autor liga ambos conceptos (ideología e imaginario social) para, desde esta ligazón, descifrar la legitimación del orden en las sociedades actuales, desarrollando, así, una nueva propuesta para la crítica ideológica.

This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A CHOICE Outstanding Academic Book Literature in Latin America has long been a vehicle for debates over the interpretation of social history, cultural identity, and artistic independence. Indeed, Latin American literature has gained international respect for its ability to present social criticism through works of imaginative creation. In this comprehensive, up-to-the-minute survey of research and opinion by leading Latin American cultural and literary critics, Naomi Lindstrom examines five concepts that are currently the focus of intense debate among Latin American writers and thinkers. Writing in simple, clear terms for both general and specialist readers of Latin American literature, she explores the concepts of autonomy and dependency, postmodernism, literary intellectuals and the mass media, testimonial literature, and gender issues, including gay and lesbian themes. Excerpts (in English) from relevant literary works illustrate each concept, while Lindstrom also traces its passage from the social sciences to literature.
