Book excerpt: In Spanish Modernism and the Poetics of Youth: From Miguel de Unamuno to La Joven Literatura, Leslie J. Harkema analyzes the literature of the modernist period in Spain in light of the emergence of youth culture in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Harkema argues for the prominent role played by Miguel de Unamuno—as a poet, essayist, and public figure—in Spanish writers’ response to this phenomenon. She demonstrates how early twentieth-century Spanish literature participated in the glorification of adolescence and questioning of Bildung seen elsewhere in European modernism, in ways that were not only aesthetic but also political. Harkema critically re-examines the relationship between Unamuno and several Spanish writers associated with the so-called Generation of 1927 (known as at the time as “la joven literatura” or “the young literature”). By situating this period within the wider framework of European modernism, Spanish Modernism and the Poetics of Youth brings to light the central role that the early twentieth century’s re-imagining of adolescence and youth played in the development of literary modernism in Spain.
Book Synopsis Uniting Music and Poetry in Twentieth-Century Spain by : Nelson R. Orringer
Download or read book Uniting Music and Poetry in Twentieth-Century Spain written by Nelson R. Orringer and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-04-15 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Uniting Music and Poetry in Twentieth-Century Spain, Nelson R. Orringer uses both literary and musical analysis to study sung poems in twentieth-century Spain. In nine chapters, each focusing on an individual sung poem, song cycle, or various poems set by the same composer, Orringer enriches and deepens interpretations of the art-songs by comparing the poet's vision to the composer's. In examining composers such as Falla, Turina, Mompou, Toldrà, Rodrigo, Montsalvatge, and Rodolfo Halffter, Orringer shows that Spanish art-song is an exceptional product of Spain’s Silver Age and reveals a new way to understand and appreciate poems set to music in twentieth-century Spain.

Download or read book Modernism, Rubén Darío, and the Poetics of Despair written by Alberto Acereda and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2004 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modernism, Ruben Darío, and the Poetics of Despair presents a detailed study of a neglected facet of Ruben Darío, and in general, of Hispanic Modernism: metaphysical and existential dimensions as preludes to Modernity. Alberto Acereda and J. Rigoberto Guevara approach the life and death issues in Darío works with special emphasis on his poetry. The authors demonstrate how the Nicaraguan poet takes the first steps towards poetic modernity. The tragic component of Darío works are examined in the light of Nineteenth Century philosophy, especially the work of Arthur Schopenhauer. Various thematic proposals are also formulated for the study of the works of Ruben Darío.

Book Synopsis Comfort and Domestic Space in Modern Spain by : Professor Susan Larson
Download or read book Comfort and Domestic Space in Modern Spain written by Professor Susan Larson and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2024-08-30 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comfort and domestic space are complex narratives that can help draw our attention to everything from urban planning, everyday objects, and new technologies to class conflict, racial and ethnic segregation, and the gendering of domestic labour. Comfort and Domestic Space in Modern Spain delves into the history of ideas surrounding the modern home. It explores how the collective experience of domestic space has been shaped by government ideologues, technocrats, and artists as well as working- and middle-class Spaniards since the late nineteenth century. The book focuses on the social and cultural meanings of domestic space in ways that invite us to cross boundaries between private and public, the particular and the general, the local and the global, and to pay attention to the role of the cultural imagination in making a house into a home. Considering a wide variety of voices and perspectives that have resulted in new ideas about how to inhabit domestic space, Comfort and Domestic Space in Modern Spain brings together an international, interdisciplinary group of scholars to illuminate the cultural history of everyday life.
Book Synopsis The War Trumpet by : Emiro Martínez-Osorio
Download or read book The War Trumpet written by Emiro Martínez-Osorio and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2023-03-30 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The epic poems written during the rise of Portugal and Spain on the global stage often dealt with topics quite unimaginable to the likes of Virgil or Homer. These poems reveal the astounding opportunities for upward social mobility and self-promotion afforded by broader access to print and the vast amount of knowledge and material wealth accrued through maritime exploration. Iberian poets of the period were quite cognizant of their ventures into uncharted territory, and that awareness informed their literary journeys. The War Trumpet features nine substantial essays that expand our understanding of Iberian Renaissance epic poetry by posing questions seldom raised in relation to poems such as La Araucana, Os Lusíadas, Carlo famoso, El Bernardo, Arauco Domado, Espejo de paciencia, and Felicissima Victoria, among others. Particularly compelling are questions concerned with early modern understandings of the natural world, the practice of poetic imitation, the discipline of cartography, or the reception of Petrarchism in the newly established viceroyalties of the New World. Fostering a greater appreciation of the intersection between poetry, war, and exploration, The War Trumpet sheds light on the transformative changes that took place during the period of Iberian expansion.
Book Synopsis Lazarillo de Tormes by : Enriqueta Zafra
Download or read book Lazarillo de Tormes written by Enriqueta Zafra and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2021 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is the first graphic novel adaptation of Lazarillo de Tormes, an anonymous sixteenth-century work that is credited with founding the literary genre of the picaresque novel. This genre includes not only works by Spanish authors like Miguel de Cervantes but also famous novels in English and American literature featuring the "anti-hero." This edition offers a new approach to old questions about a book that has puzzled readers and critics alike for centuries. Who was its mysterious author? Why did the Inquisition forbid this seemingly harmless book? Who read the book and how was it understood? These and other questions are recreated in the graphic novel, offering a broader vision of the fortunes and adversities that this book "lived" and how against all odds it became a literary classic. Translated and retold for the modern reader, Lazarillo de Tormes offers a complete visual experience of the adventures and misadventures of the ultimate picaresque anti-hero as well as insights into the history of the book that set a precedent in Spanish literature."--
Book Synopsis A Planetary Avant-Garde by : Ignacio Infante
Download or read book A Planetary Avant-Garde written by Ignacio Infante and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2023-04-28 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Planetary Avant-Garde explores how experimental poetics and literature networks have aesthetically and politically responded to the legacy of Iberian colonialism across the world. The book examines avant-garde responses to Spanish and Portuguese imperialism across Europe, Latin America, West Africa, and Southeast Asia between 1909 and 1929. Ignacio Infante critically traces the hegemony and resistance to the colonial regimes of Spain and Portugal across particular avant-garde networks, expanding our understanding of Western colonial and imperial ideologies of the early twentieth century. The book extends geopolitical dimensions of the historical avant-garde into a wider transnational and planetary framework, including divergent experiences of modernity, forms of experimental poetics, and understandings of history. It sheds light on topics, such as the relation between Portuguese futurism and European colonialism in West Africa, the Latin American avant-garde’s critique of European historicism, the development of Brazilian modernism in relation to the European avant-garde, the comparative poetics of modernism in the Philippines, and the 1929 Barcelona World’s Fair. Grounded in extensive archival research, A Planetary Avant-Garde provides a new understanding of the historical avant-garde from a global and multilingual perspective.

Download or read book Ezra Pound and the Spanish World written by Viorica Patea and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2024-04-26 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection offers for the first time criticism, biographical essays, analysis, translation studies, and reminiscences of Ezra Pound’s extensive interaction with Spain and Spanish culture, from his earliest visits to Spain in 1902 and 1906 and his study of significant Spanish writers to the dedication of the first monument erected anywhere to Pound in the small Spanish village of Medinaceli in 1973. Divided into two sections, Part One: “ON EZRA POUND AND THE SPANISH WORLD” includes a general introduction on Pound’s lifelong involvement with Spain, together with chapters on Pound’s study of classical Spanish literature, the Spanish dimension in The Cantos, Pound’s contemporary Spanish connections, and his legacy in contemporary Spanish letters. Part Two: “EZRA POUND AND THE SPANISH WORLD: A READER,” then gathers for the first time Pound’s own writings (postcards, letters, and essays) concerning Spain and Spanish writers, as well as his correspondence with Spanish poets Miguel de Unamuno and Juan Ramón Jiménez and with José Vázquez Amaral, the first Spanish translator of The Cantos in its entirety. The volume includes reminiscences by Spanish Novísimos poets, Antonio Colinas and Jaime Siles, written explicitly for this collection. Besides providing a thorough exploration into Pound’s engagement with Spain, this volume pays homage to Pound’s considerable influence on Spanish culture.

Book Synopsis Youth as Ideoclasm by : Leslie J. Harkema
Download or read book Youth as Ideoclasm written by Leslie J. Harkema and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 800 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: In En torno al casticismo (1895), Miguel de Unamuno called for "una verdadera juventud" that would revive Spain from national stagnation at the end of the nineteenth century. Over the next decade, Unamuno frequently returned to the topic of youth in his essays and poetry, presenting it as a force of social regeneration and the antidote to the condition of cultural paralysis that he called la ideocracia. With the collection and reprinting of many of these essays by Madrid's Residencia de Estudiantes (1916-1918), Unamuno's preoccupation with youth reached a new generation of readers, including future members of the group known in the 1920s as "La Joven Literatura."This dissertation proposes that the concept of youth crafted by Unamuno at the turn of the twentieth century can illuminate the often acknowledged yet rarely studied impact of this writer on the members of "La Joven Literatura." Noting that the generational model in criticism of twentieth-century Spanish literature has impeded examinations of this relationship, I place all of these artists within the shared cultural context of European Modernism (1890-1930), a period during which youth is continuously celebrated as heroic and authoritative. My analysis of Unamuno's turn-of-the-century work in the areas of religion, politics, and poetics reveals a treatment of youth that reflects this Modernist stance. In terms developed by Paul Ricoeur, it can be described as utopian, as it opposes and aims to disrupt dominant ideologies in each of these sectors, which Unamuno characterizes as products of age: religious dogma or gnosis; modern nationalism; and poetic trends such as modernismo.I then trace this ideo-clastic view of youth in the writing of four members of "La Joven Literatura": José Moreno Villa, Gerardo Diego, Ernesto Giménez Caballero, and José Bergamín. In their relationships with Unamuno and his work, these individuals invoke his turn-of-the-century texts and ideas, and reflect aspects of the wider cultural discourse of youth within literature and politics during the Modernist period. Thus I conclude that, despite his exile from Spain in the 1920s, Unamuno's vision of youth played a fundamental role in shaping the attitudes of this generation.
