Download or read book The Image of Celestina written by Enrique Fernández and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2024-01-31 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La Celestina, a Spanish literary masterpiece second only in importance to Don Quixote in Spanish literature, has been shaped by the inclusion of images from its very first edition in 1499. The subsequent five centuries were punctuated by many illustrated editions; imaginary portraits of the eponymous procuress Celestina by painters such as Murillo, Goya, and Picasso; and, more recently, screen and stage adaptations. Celestina became the prototype from which later representations of procuresses and bawds derived. The Image of Celestina sheds light on the visual culture that developed around La Celestina, including paintings, illustrations, and advertisements. Enrique Fernández examines La Celestina as a mixed-media text, incorporating methods from disciplines such as art history and women’s and cinema studies, and considers a variety of images including promotional posters, lobby pictures, and playbills of theatrical and cinematic adaptations of the book. Using a visual studies approach, The Image of Celestina ultimately illuminates the culture of Celestina, a mythical figure, who surpasses the literary text in which she originated.
Book Synopsis The Celestina by : Fernando de Rojas
Download or read book The Celestina written by Fernando de Rojas and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2019-09-24 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Celestina is considered by scholars to be the first European novel. Written in fifteenth-century Spain, this masterpiece is remarkable for its originality, depth, handling of dialogue, and drawing of character. The novel's focus is the character of Celestina, who dominates the scene. An old bawd brimming with salty wisdom derived from a vigorous and sinful life, she is one of the great creations in all of literature and holds a secure place beside her two compatriots, Don Quixote and Sancho Panza. This Spanish classic, a forebear of Cervantes, was originally published anonymously in 1499; later editions bear the name of Fernando de Rojas as author.

Book Synopsis Celestina's Brood by : Roberto González Echevarría
Download or read book Celestina's Brood written by Roberto González Echevarría and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1499 and centered on the figure of a bawd and witch, Fernando de Rojas' dark and disturbing Celestina was destined to become the most suppressed classic in Spanish literary history. Routinely ignored in Spanish letters, the book nonetheless echoes through contemporary Spanish and Latin American literature. This is the phenomenon that Celestina's Brood explores. Roberto González Echevarría, one of the most eminent and influential critics of Hispanic literature writing today, uses Rojas' text as his starting point to offer an exploration of modernity in the Hispanic literary tradition, and of the Baroque as an expression of the modern. His analysis of Celestina reveals the relentless probing of the limits of language and morality that mark the work as the beginning of literary modernity in Spanish, and the start of a tradition distinguished by a penchant for the excesses of the Baroque. González Echevarría pursues this tradition and its meaning through the works of major figures such as Cervantes, Lope de Vega, Calderón de la Barca, Alejo Carpentier, Carlos Fuentes, Gabriel García Márquez, Nicolás Guillén, and Severo Sarduy, as well as through the works of lesser-known authors. By revealing continuities of the Baroque, Celestina's Brood cuts across conventional distinctions between Spanish and Latin American literary traditions to show their profound and previously unimagined affinity.
Book Synopsis The Theater of Teaching and the Lessons of Theater by : Domnica Radulescu
Download or read book The Theater of Teaching and the Lessons of Theater written by Domnica Radulescu and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2005 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays explores the intersections between theater as text, theater as performance, and theater as pedagogy. The theory of performance and the practice of theater as it can be done, taught, and conceptualized in academia bring together these three different paths, in a volume that can be equally useful to theater practitioners, to teachers of dramatic texts, and to students, scholars, and teachers of theater seen both as literature and as practice.
Book Synopsis Celestina and the Ends of Desire by : E. Michael Gerli
Download or read book Celestina and the Ends of Desire written by E. Michael Gerli and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2011-06-18 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most widely-read and translated Spanish works in sixteenth-century Europe was Fernando de Rojas' Celestina, a 1499 novel in dialogue about a couple that faces heartbreak and tragedy after being united by the titular brothel madam. In 'Celestina' and the Ends of Desire, E. Michael Gerli illustrates how this work straddles the medieval and the modern in its exploration of changing categories of human desire - from the European courtly love tradition to the interpretation of want as an insatiable, destructive force. Gerli's analysis draws on a wide range of Celestina scholarship but is unique in its use of modern literary and psychoanalytic theory to confront the problematic links between literature and life. Explorations of influence of desire on knowledge, action, and lived experience connect the work to seismic shifts in the culture of early modern Europe. Engaging and original, 'Celestina' and the Ends of Desire takes a fresh look at the timeless work's widespread appeal and enduring popularity.
Download or read book Celestina written by Charlotte Smith and published by Broadview Press. This book was released on 2004-10-25 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published here for the first time in a modern edition, Charlotte Smith’s third novel is both rivetingly plotted and unique for its time in its powerful depiction of a gifted Romantic woman poet. The novel’s heroine, Celestina, abandoned as a child in a French convent, becomes an independent, witty, and accomplished elegiac poet who, in a reversal of the usual pattern of the courtship novel, acts as a mentor to several men in her life. Written at the beginning of the French Revolution, Smith’s novel depicts characters challenging both corrupt authority and conventional morality, exemplifying her hope that English society was on the verge of a great change for the better. This Broadview edition includes a critical introduction and primary source material relating to the novel’s reception, its political contexts (writings by Reverend Richard Price, Edmund Burke, Mary Wollstonecraft, and Thomas Paine), and the author’s life.
Book Synopsis Vision, the Gaze, and the Function of the Senses in “Celestina” by : James F. Burke
Download or read book Vision, the Gaze, and the Function of the Senses in “Celestina” written by James F. Burke and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2015-08-10 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The plot of the late-medieval Spanish work Celestina (1499) centers on the ill-fated love of Calisto and Melibea and the fascinating character of their intermediary, Celestina. In this ground-breaking rereading of the play, James F. Burke offers a new interpretation of the characters' actions by analyzing medieval theories of perception that would have influenced the composition of Celestina. Drawing upon a variety of texts and thinkers—including the medieval theories of Thomas Aquinas, the Renaissance treatises of Marsilio Ficino, the classical philosophy of Aristotle, and the modern psychology of Jacques Lacan—Burke relates ancient and medieval theories of sensory functions to modern understandings. He demonstrates that modern concepts of "the gaze" have their premodern analogy in the idea of an all-encompassing sensory field, both visual and auditory, that surrounded and enveloped each individual. Touching on medieval theories of the "evil eye," the sonic sphere, and "the banquet of the senses," Burke offers a new perspective on the use and manipulation of sensory input by the characters of Celestina. This book will be welcomed not only by students of Spanish literature but also by those interested in new ways of approaching medieval and Renaissance texts.
Download or read book Celestina written by Fernando de Rojas and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2009-09-15 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A timeless story of love, morality, and tragedy, Fernando de Rojas's Celestina is a classic of Spanish literature. Second only to Don Quixote in its cultural importance, Rojas's dramatic dialogue presents the elaborate tale of a star-crossed courtship between the young nobleman Calisto and the beautiful maiden Melibea in fifteenth-century Spain. Their unforgettable saga plays out in vibrant exchanges, presented here in a brilliant new translation by award-winning translator Margaret Sayers Peden. After a chance encounter with Melibea leaves Calisto entranced by her charms, he enlists the services of Celestina, an aged prostitute, madam, and procuress, to arrange another meeting. She promptly seizes control of the affair, guiding it through a series of mishaps before it meets its tragic end. At times a comic character and at others a self-assertive promoter of women's sexual license, Celestina is an inimitable personality with a surprisingly modern consciousness, certain to be relished by a new generation of readers.

Now I’m stuck in a low-level, dead-end job I have no interest in. At least I’m good at what I do – that’s something, I guess. So, when I uncover suspicious activity on a new account that threatens to launder hundreds of millions through the company I work for, I report it to my superiors, going through all the official channels exactly like you are supposed to. But what do you do when they refuse to take suspicions seriously? How far do you go when you only suspect a crime is happening? What desperate measures do you resort to in order to bring these crimes to light, especially when there’s the possibility of losing everything?

Book excerpt: Baby Baby was 2 1/2 years old when her family was bludgeoned to death in their modest south Los Angeles home in 1977, while she was still in the home, and not found until two days after death. Baby Baby was the lone survivor of rage unforeseen. This poor child is now forced to continue to build a normal life. Baby Baby was now an orphan child, craving for love from anyone willing to give what little they had. The attention that was given to Baby Baby came with a price far more valuable than the return. Baby Baby became a victim of physical, mental, and sexual violence before the age of five. Baby Baby bounced between several dysfunctional households. How does a child find leadership when her examples were all statistically magnets for self destruction? She must find her own way to maintain her personal sanity. Baby Baby had no other choices, but to raise herself. Baby Baby is now a teenage mother that is trying to figure out this world, not only for the sake of her own wellbeing, but now also her child. If Baby Baby wanted change, it was something she had to work for, and work on within herself. Baby Baby Blues reveals that survival comes when you realize how much you have endured and what you are capable of withstanding, and still being able to move forward without being hindered mentally.
