Book Synopsis Seven Interpretive Essays on Peruvian Reality by : José Carlos Mariátegui
Download or read book Seven Interpretive Essays on Peruvian Reality written by José Carlos Mariátegui and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-03-19 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Once again I repeat that I am not an impartial; objective critic. My judgments are nourished by my ideals, my sentiments, my passions. I have an avowed and resolute ambition: to assist in the creation of Peruvian socialism. I am far removed from the academic techniques of the university."—From the Author's Note Jose Carlos Mariátegui was one of the leading South American social philosophers of the early twentieth century. He identified the future of Peru with the welfare of the Indian at a time when similar ideas were beginning to develop in Middle America and the Andean region. Generations of Peruvian and other Latin American social thinkers have been profoundly influenced by his writings. Seven Interpretive Essays on Peruvian Reality (Siete ensayos de interpretación de la realidad peruana), first published in 1928, is Mariátegui's major statement of his position and has gone into many editions, not only in Peru but also in other Latin American countries. The topics discussed in the essays—economic evolution, the problem of the Indian, the land problem, public education, the religious factor, regionalism and centralism, and the literary process—are in many respects as relevant today as when the book was written. Mariátegui's thinking was strongly tinged with Marxism. Because contemporary sociology, anthropology, and economics have been influenced by Marxism much more in Latin America than in North America, it is important that North Americans become more aware of Mariátegui's position and accord it its proper historical significance. Jorge Basadre, the distinguished Peruvian historian, in an introduction written especially for this translation, provides an account of Mariátegui's life and describes the political and intellectual climate in which these essays were written.
Download or read book Impersonality written by Sharon Cameron and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-11-15 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophers have long debated the subjects of person and personhood. Sharon Cameron ushers this debate into the literary realm by considering impersonality in the works of major American writers and figures of international modernism—writers for whom personal identity is inconsequential and even imaginary. In essays on William Empson, Jonathan Edwards, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Herman Melville, T. S. Eliot, and Simone Weil, Cameron examines the impulse to hollow out the core of human distinctiveness, to construct a voice that is no one’s voice, to fashion a character without meaningful attributes, a being that is virtually anonymous. “To consent to being anonymous,” Weil wrote, “is to bear witness to the truth. But how is this compatible with social life and its labels?” Throughout these essays Cameron examines the friction, even violence, set in motion from such incompatibility—from a “truth” that has no social foundation. Impersonality investigates the uncompromising nature of writing that suspends, eclipses, and even destroys the person as a social, political, or individual entity, of writing that engages with personal identity at the moment when its usual markers vanish or dissolve.
Download or read book About Writing written by Samuel R. Delany and published by Wesleyan University Press. This book was released on 2014-09-15 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the four-time Nebula Award–winning novelist and literary critic, essential reading for the creative writer. Award-winning novelist Samuel R. Delany has written a book for creative writers to place alongside E. M. Forster’s Aspects of the Novel and Lajos Egri’s Art of Dramatic Writing. Taking up specifics (When do flashbacks work, and when should you avoid them? How do you make characters both vivid and sympathetic?) and generalities (How are novels structured? How do writers establish serious literary reputations today?), Delany also examines the condition of the contemporary creative writer and how it differs from that of the writer in the years of Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and the high Modernists. Like a private writing tutorial, About Writing treats each topic with clarity and insight. Here is an indispensable companion for serious writers everywhere. “Delany has certainly spent more time thinking about the process of generating narratives—and subsequently getting the fruits of his lucubrations down on paper?than any other writer in the genre. . . . Delany’s latest volume in this vein (About Writing) might be his best yet... Truly, as the jacket copy boasts, this book is the next best thing to taking one of Delany’s courses. . . . [R]eaders will find many answers here to the mysteries of getting words down on a page.” —Paul DiFilippo, Asimov’s Science Fiction “Useful and thoughtful advice for aspiring (and practicing apprentice) authors. About Writing is autobiography, criticism, and a guidebook to good writing all in one.” —Robert Elliot Fox, Professor of English, Southern Illinois University at Carbondale “Should go on the short list of required reading for every would-be writer.” —New York Times Book Review (on Of Doubts and Dreams in About Writing)
Book Synopsis Siete Ensayos de Interpretación de la Realidad Peruana by : José Mariátegui
Download or read book Siete Ensayos de Interpretación de la Realidad Peruana written by José Mariátegui and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-01-04 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: José Carlos Mariátegui, (1895-1930), fue un escritor Peruano y líder político de renombre mundial. Aunque sus origines son humildes, su carrera lo llevo a las más altura de la intelectualidad. Comenzando a trabajar a los 14 años de edad -como alcanza-rejones en un periódico- llegó a ser periodista de los principales diarios de Lima: La Prensa, El Tiempo, y La Razón. Autodidacta, pronto llego a convencerse que la doctrina marxista era la adecuada para sacar a su patria del marasmo social, económico, cultural, y espiritual que lo condenaba a una abyecta pobreza. Sus viajes por Europa, le confirmaron su fe en el marxismo. Cuando regreso al Perú, junto con el pensador y activista político Víctor Raúl Haya de la Torre (fundador del partido APRA), ambos asumieron el liderazgo político de los años 1920s. Acerca de los Siete ensayos Estos ensayos calan profundo, dado el enfoque marxista muy poco asimilado -por entonces- en las letras de Sudamérica. Los Siete Ensayos tocan la urdimbre nerviosa del Perú, auscultando síntomas, analizando curas paliativas y muchas veces erróneas, para al fin dejar en claro que aunque las soluciones son inconclusas, por lo menos podrían dar un impulso a la mejoría del país. Los problemas que Mariátegui trata son: 1) Esquema de la evolución económica; 2) El problema del indio; 3) El problema de la tierra; 4) El proceso de la instrucción pública; 5) El factor religioso; 6) Regionalismo y centralismo; y 7) El proceso de la literatura.

Book Synopsis Seven Essays on Populism by : Paula Biglieri
Download or read book Seven Essays on Populism written by Paula Biglieri and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2021-01-14 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important intervention interrogates keystone features of the dominant European theoretical landscape in the field of populism studies, advancing existing debates and introducing new avenues of thought, in conjunction with insights from the contemporary Latin American political experience and perspectives. In each essay – the title a nod to the influential socialist thinker José Carlos Mariátegui, from whom the authors draw inspiration – leading Argentine scholars Paula Biglieri and Luciana Cadahia pair key dimensions of populism with diverse themes such as modern-day feminism, militancy, and neoliberalism, in order to stimulate discussion surrounding the constitutive nature, goals, and potential of populist social movements. Biglieri and Cadahia are unafraid to court provocation in their frank assessment of populism as a force which could bring about essential emancipatory social change to confront emerging right-wing trends in policy and leadership. At the same time, this fresh interpretation of a much-maligned political articulation is balanced by their denunciation of right-aligned populisms and their failure to bring to bear a sustainable alternative to contemporary neo-authoritarian forms of neoliberalism. In their place, they articulate a populism which offers a viable means of mobilizing a response to hegemonic forms of neoliberal discourse and government.

Book Synopsis A Director Prepares by : Anne Bogart
Download or read book A Director Prepares written by Anne Bogart and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2003-09-02 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Director Prepares is a thought-provoking examination of the challenges of making theatre. In it, Anne Bogart speaks candidly and with wisdom of the courage required to create 'art with great presence'. Each chapter tackles one of the seven major areas Bogart has identified as both potential partner and potential obstacle to art-making. They are Violence; Memory; Terror; Eroticism; Stereotype; Embarrassment; and Resistance. Each one can be used to generate extraordinary creative energy, if we know how to use it. A Director Prepares offers every practitioner an extraordinary insight into the creative process. It is a handbook, Bible and manifesto, all in one. No other book on the art of theatre comes even close to offering this much understanding, experience and inspiration.

Book Synopsis T.S. Eliot's Interpretation of F.H. Bradley by : J.E. Mallinson
Download or read book T.S. Eliot's Interpretation of F.H. Bradley written by J.E. Mallinson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2002-12-31 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: T. S. Eliot's work as poet and as critic can be seen as a protracted exploration of his engagement with the work of the philosopher F. H. Bradley. The dissertation which Eliot completed in 1916 is the repository of his philosophical investigations up to that time and the source of many of his subsequent ideas. The thesis is not merely an attempt to explicate Bradley's metaphysics, but a critical enterprise involving explicit disagreements as well as qualified assent. While I argue that his expressed disagreements with Bradley offer an invaluable insight into Eliot's view of language and more particularly the poet's relationship with language, I also believe that his avowed rejection of Bradley's metaphysical system and concomitant theory of knowledge did not prevent him from using it as a model to describe the nature of poetry and of its appreciation. Previous studies of the connection between Eliot's 1 philosophical writings and his poetry and criticism have ignored his disagreements with Bradley in the attempt to trace the Bradleian vein, while those which have eloquently argued the case for perceiving in Eliot's work the seeds of contemporary 2 philosophical positions tend to credit Eliot with what are in fact Bradley's views. The current resurgence of interest in Anglo American Idealism has resulted in a clarification and reassessment of Bradley's work which is not only important in itself but also enables a rectification of these distortions.
