Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 400th anniversaries of Don Quixote in 2005 and 2015 sparked worldwide celebrations that brought to the fore its ongoing cultural and ideological relevance. Living Quixote examines contemporary appropriations of Miguel de Cervantes's masterpiece in political and social justice movements in the Americas, particularly in Brazil. In this book, Cervantes scholar Rogelio Miñana examines long-term, Quixote-inspired activist efforts at the ground level. Through what the author terms performative activism, Quixote-inspired theater companies and nongovernmental organizations deploy a model for rewriting and enacting new social roles for underprivileged youth. Unique in its transatlantic, cross-historical, and community-based approach, Living Quixote offers both a new reading of Don Quixote and an applied model for cultural activism—a model based, in ways reminiscent of Paulo Freire, on the transformative potential of performance, literature, and art.

Book Synopsis Don Quixote by : Matthew D. Warshawsky
Download or read book Don Quixote written by Matthew D. Warshawsky and published by Juan de la Cuesta-Hispanic Monographs. This book was released on 2013 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume grew out of "Don Quixote: Study of a Modern Hero," a symposium held in 2012 at the University of Portland that gathered scholars from across the United States as well as Spain for invigorating conversation on the myriad ways of reading Cervantes's masterpiece in the twenty-first century. In ways both complementary and distinct, each chapter of the book demonstrates eloquently the ability of Don Quixote to prompt original, text-based readings connected to disciplines beyond what in the past might have been considered strictly Hispanic studies. This interdisciplinarity is even more noteworthy in light of the fact that all but one contributor to the work are Hispanists specializing to various degrees in the Spanish Golden Age. Informed by a desire to interpret the novel in ways not necessarily considered in previous studies, the essays show how Don Quixote as novel and character inspires connections with far-ranging fields such as psychology, film, graphic fiction, classical antiquity, contemporary youth theater, the law, cultural memory, gender studies, and ethnicity. The breadth of these connections testifies to the continued relevance of Don Quixote in a world that increasingly questions the importance of the humanities, because it is doubtful that any other novel, from any time period, lends itself to so many interpretations using such an apparently disparate variety of approaches. The volume is divided into four broad categories, each of which contains three chapters: "Cognitive Theories and Don Quixote," "Don Quixote as Superhero," "Don Quixote Today," and "Navigating Mind, Body, the Law, and Heterodoxy in Don Quixote." Even though Don Quixote is italicized in the titles of these section headings, the sections refer to Don Quixote as both novel and character in the novel. The essays in Part 1, "Cognitive Theories and Don Quixote," use Renaissance treatises on human nature as well as modern-day theories of embodiment, emotional contagion, and empathetic response in order to explain how Don Quixote, Sancho, and a host of secondary characters think about and engage one another. Part 2 of the volume, "Don Quixote as Superhero," testifies to the broad reach of Don Quixote and the eponymous hero of the text, whether in contemporary genres such as film and graphic fiction, or as a means of establishing connections with Augustan-era poetry and Renaissance painting. The chapters in Part 3, "Don Quixote Today," explore both the paradox of the iconic stature of the work, particularly in Spain, and the ways in which the novel serves as a teaching tool in endeavors such as documentary filmmaking, oral interviews between study abroad students and native Spaniards, and theatre performed by at-risk youth in Brazil. Part 4, "Navigating Mind, Body, the Law, and Multiethnicity in Don Quixote," demonstrates how the novel lends itself to wide-ranging analysis of topics that include societal anxiety regarding male sexual function during the early 1600s, the importance of contracts to romantic relationships, and the worldview of descendants of Jewish converts to Catholicism in post-1492 Spain. In sum, Don Quixote: Interdisciplinary Connections broadens the ways in which we think of Don Quixote today while showing the relevance of the novel as a means to understand how individuals form their own identities and relate to those of others. Accessible to both first-time readers of Don Quixote and established Cervantine scholars, the essays in the collection broaden the scope of Quixote studies through their innovative commentaries as well as the connections to themes beyond the novel that these commentaries establish.

Book excerpt: A creative and dynamic volume by Arakawa and Gins, who have been called the most philosophical of living artists, which collects their writings and art work from a period of nearly 2 decades. They address the essential art query of our time: How does it all fit together? Art and science happens in fragments. They take fragments, and they try, by making linkages to perceiving tactics immediate, to draw these tactics, these ways of construing a demonstrably conceivable whole that are the perceiver-reader, into a unified field that they refer to as "the perceiving field." They propose to re-create and to rejoin fragments, and would-be fragments, so as to make a new whole.

Book Synopsis Is Marriage for White People? by : Ralph Richard Banks
Download or read book Is Marriage for White People? written by Ralph Richard Banks and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-09-25 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A distinguished Stanford law professor examines the steep decline in marriage rates among the African American middle class, and offers a paradoxical-nearly incendiary-solution. Black women are three times as likely as white women to never marry. That sobering statistic reflects a broader reality: African Americans are the most unmarried people in our nation, and contrary to public perception the racial gap in marriage is not confined to women or the poor. Black men, particularly the most successful and affluent, are less likely to marry than their white counterparts. College educated black women are twice as likely as their white peers never to marry. Is Marriage for White People? is the first book to illuminate the many facets of the African American marriage decline and its implications for American society. The book explains the social and economic forces that have undermined marriage for African Americans and that shape everyone's lives. It distills the best available research to trace the black marriage decline's far reaching consequences, including the disproportionate likelihood of abortion, sexually transmitted diseases, single parenthood, same sex relationships, polygamous relationships, and celibacy among black women. This book centers on the experiences not of men or of the poor but of those black women who have surged ahead, even as black men have fallen behind. Theirs is a story that has not been told. Empirical evidence documents its social significance, but its meaning emerges through stories drawn from the lives of women across the nation. Is Marriage for White People? frames the stark predicament that millions of black women now face: marry down or marry out. At the core of the inquiry is a paradox substantiated by evidence and experience alike: If more black women married white men, then more black men and women would marry each other. This book not only sits at the intersection of two large and well- established markets-race and marriage-it responds to yearnings that are widespread and deep in American society. The African American marriage decline is a secret in plain view about which people want to know more, intertwining as it does two of the most vexing issues in contemporary society. The fact that the most prominent family in our nation is now an African American couple only intensifies the interest, and the market. A book that entertains as it informs, Is Marriage for White People? will be the definitive guide to one of the most monumental social developments of the past half century.

Book Synopsis But You Did Not Come Back by : Marceline Loridan-Ivens
Download or read book But You Did Not Come Back written by Marceline Loridan-Ivens and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2016-01-05 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A French woman’s heartrending account of her survival in a WWII Nazi concentration camp—and a tribute to her father who died there. A runaway bestseller in France, But You Did Not Come Back has already been the subject of a French media storm and hailed as an important new addition to the library of books dealing with the Holocaust. It is the profoundly moving and poetic memoir by Marceline Loridan-Ivens, who at the age of fifteen was arrested in occupied France, along with her father. Later, in the camps, he managed to smuggle a note to her, a sign of life that made all the difference to Marceline—but he died in the Holocaust, while Marceline survived. In But You Did Not Come Back, Marceline writes back to her father, the man whose death overshadowed her whole life. Although her grief never diminished in its intensity, Marceline ultimately found her calling, working as both an activist and a documentary filmmaker. But now, as France, and Europe in general, face growing anti-Semitism, Marceline feels pessimistic about the future. Her testimony is a memorial, a confrontation, and a deeply affecting personal story of a woman whose life was shattered and never totally rebuilt. “But You Did Not Come Back is indisputably a story of survival . . . yet it is also a story of how trauma impacts through the generations.” —The Guardian
Book Synopsis Staging Marriage in Early Modern Spain by : Gabriela Carrión
Download or read book Staging Marriage in Early Modern Spain written by Gabriela Carrión and published by Bucknell University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-18 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Staging Marriage in Early Modern Spain examines selected dramatic works where the vicissitudes of matrimony play center stage. Various aspects of conjugal relations including courtship, divorce, and widowhood take on particular relevance in the Spanish comedia in light of the intense debates raging over the 'seventh sacrament' in early modern Europe. The institution of matrimony is subject to unprecedented scrutiny during this period and provides a rich source of material for playwrights such as Lope de Vega, Miguel de Cervantes, and Pedro Calderón de la Barca. Taking the decrees on marriage of the Council of Trent (1563) as a point of departure, Carrión examines the conjugal bond within a literary and historical framework, offering close readings of dramatic works, religious decrees, and moral treatises where the conjugal bond plays a central role. She identifies in works such as Lope's Peribáñez y el Comendador de Ocaña, Cervantes' El juez de los divorcios, and Calderón's El medico de su honra the emergence of more modern perspectives on marriage. One of the central questions this study raises is the degree to which the dramatic works of early modern Spain conform to the morality espoused by the treatises that defined marriage at the time. While the tone of prescriptive discourses contrasts with the lyrical voices of the Spanish stage, both reveal a number of inherent-and compelling-contradictions in their views of the conjugal bond.

Book Synopsis Another Country by : Josep-Anton Fernàndez
Download or read book Another Country written by Josep-Anton Fernàndez and published by MHRA. This book was released on 2000 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book studies the emergence, in the late 1960s and 1970s, of a sophisticated body of gay fiction in Catalan, and examines the relation between the representation of homosexuality and the discourses on national identity that legitimate modern Catalan literature. Gay fiction, argues the author, reveals a tension between the nation and the body in Catalan literature: Catalonia is a nation different from Spain, a cultural and political minority within Europe; but the existence of sexual minorities within its boundaries reveals its inner complexity, which resists homogenization. Catalonia is another country in more ways than one. Drawing on a variety of critical discourses (gay theory, psychoanalysis, and authors such as Foucault, Deleuze and Guattari, and Bourdieu), Another Country explores the intertwinings of identity, cultural politics, and desire in the work of Terenci Moix, Lluis Fernandez, Biel Mesquida, and Lluis Maria Todo. The book analyses how gay writers renegotiate identity discourses in Catalan literature in order to introduce homosexuality into them, often with destabilising effects. The role of gay authors in the process of canon construction (a crucial aspect of contemporary cultural nationalism in Catalonia) is also considered, focusing on postmodernism and the divide between high and mass culture. Finally, Another Country addresses the interplay of homosexual desire within the frame of a distinction between perversion and transgression, and proposes an alliance between queer and nationalist discourses.
