Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner, Association for Latin American Art Book Award, 2010 The Maya of Mexico and Central America have performed ritual dances for more than two millennia. Dance is still an essential component of religious experience today, serving as a medium for communication with the supernatural. During the Late Classic period (AD 600-900), dance assumed additional importance in Maya royal courts through an association with feasting and gift exchange. These performances allowed rulers to forge political alliances and demonstrate their control of trade in luxury goods. The aesthetic values embodied in these performances were closely tied to Maya social structure, expressing notions of gender, rank, and status. Dance was thus not simply entertainment, but was fundamental to ancient Maya notions of social, religious, and political identity. Using an innovative interdisciplinary approach, Matthew Looper examines several types of data relevant to ancient Maya dance, including hieroglyphic texts, pictorial images in diverse media, and architecture. A series of case studies illustrates the application of various analytical methodologies and offers interpretations of the form, meaning, and social significance of dance performance. Although the nuances of movement in Maya dances are impossible to recover, Looper demonstrates that a wealth of other data survives which allows a detailed consideration of many aspects of performance. To Be Like Gods thus provides the first comprehensive interpretation of the role of dance in ancient Maya society and also serves as a model for comparative research in the archaeology of performance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A series of rich case studies examine a range of topics, including neighbourhood gentrification, subway busking, yard sales, electronic waste, and language, refining the touchstone principle of circulation for the study of urban culture, both materially and theoretically. Contributors employ a variety of disciplinary approaches to create a richly varied picture of the multiple trajectories and effects of movement in the city. An engaging work that considers city planning, urban culture, and social behaviour, Circulation and the City adds a new dimension that revitalizes the ways we have commonly looked at - and thought about - the city.

Download or read book Talking Books with Mario Vargas Llosa written by Raquel Chang-Rodriguez and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2020-08 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays included in Talking Books with Mario Vargas Llosa celebrate Mario Vargas Llosa's visits to the City College of New York, the creation of the Cátedra Vargas Llosa in his honor, and the interests of the Peruvian author in reading and books. This volume contains previously unpublished material by Vargas Llosa himself, as well as by novelists and literary critics associated with the Cátedra. This collection offers readers an opportunity to learn about Vargas Llosa's body of work through multiple perspectives: his own and those of eminent fiction writers and important literary critics. The book offers significant analysis and rich conversation that bring to life many of the Nobel Laureate's characters and provide insights into his writing process and imagination. As the last surviving member of the original group of writers of the Latin American Boom--which included Gabriel García Márquez, Carlos Fuentes, and Julio Cortázar--Vargas Llosa endures as a literary icon because his fiction has remained fresh and innovative. His prolific works span many different themes and subgenres. A combination of literary analyses and anecdotal contributions in this volume reveal the little-known human and intellectual dimensions of Vargas Llosa the writer and Vargas Llosa the man.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Oxford Handbook of Jorge Luis Borges consists of thirty-five chapters, organized into four main categories: Borges's life, his representative work traced across the many decades of his writing, his work in collaboration, and his reception in literature and other disciplines. The volume highlights current debates among Borges scholars as a way to reevaluate how the physical forms and sociopolitical contexts of Borges's writings both shaped and determined specific readerships around the world. Alongside these novel approaches to Borges's fictions and nonfictions, this Handbook is the first of its kind to dedicate space to the reception of Borges's works in the fields of philosophy, the visual arts, film, political science, media theory, mathematics, and law. The collection also goes further to trace Borges's activity in the public sphere, including local and national politics and the functioning of cultural institutions. To date, no other collection devoted to his writings or life addresses these issues in depth, nor do they consider how his affiliations and interests change over the course of his long life. Incorporating these broader perspectives into this Handbook serves to bring out tensions, continuities, and discontinuities in Borges's work, allowing for a much more nuanced understanding of it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro trata de nuestra fe, que es un don que Dios en su inmenso amor nos da para nuestro crecimiento personal, espiritual y humano. Aquellos que son humildes y están abiertos para recibir este don en sus corazones, son capaces de hacer frente a los múltiples desafíos de la vida sin desanimarse, sin caer en la angustia o sin sentirse abandonados. Es un acto de humildad que todos tenemos que hacer en este mundo lleno de confusión y orgullo, con el fin de experimentar la verdadera paz que el Señor ha venido a traernos. Este libro está destinado a apoyar a cualquier cristiano que esté preocupado por la realidad del Último Día, la cual experimentará cada uno de nosotros. Es también una referencia para todos los que están dispuestos a profundizar en su fe para permanecer despiertos y estar preparados para el Señor con la ayuda de las enseñanzas de la fe. No importa que se trate de un intelectual, de un profesor, de un granjero, de una ama de casa, etc.; de una persona joven o adulta. El libro ofrece una presentación de nuestra propia identidad como hijos de Dios. En cada uno existe una dimensión espiritual donde Dios se comunica con nosotros y que nos permite ser llamados hombre o mujer. Es una aberración que algunas personas se tengan a sí mismas como ateas por no creer en Dios cuando, irónicamente, Dios sí cree en ellas y les permite vivir en el mundo que Él ha creado. Cada ser humano debería tomar en serio su condición y su presencia en esta vida para no caer en la mediocridad de no creer. Confundidos con las muchas cosas materiales a las que ellos están expuestos, muchos hombres toman la decisión de no creer en Dios. Lógicamente, esta decisión es una negación de su propia existencia, porque un hombre o una mujer sólo pueden existir en relación con Dios, su Creador. Ninguno de los seres humanos se puede dar vida a sí mismo. Antes que ellos nacieran, alguien superior los ha precedido, de la misma manera que antes de nacer un hijo existen ya su padre y su madre. Así, este libro es una reafirmación de nuestra fe, expresada de una manera muy sencilla y sin ninguna complicación. Este libro es también un recordatorio para nosotros amar a nuestra Iglesia y defenderla a pesar de que haya muchas cosas que nos puedan provocar desencanto. No debemos desanimarnos; al contrario, debemos estar felices de saber el camino que conduce a la paz y a la salvación. La Iglesia se inició con la traición de Judas, que contribuyó a la cruz de Jesús. Este tipo de hechos seguirán estando presentes en nuestra Iglesia, en nuestras comunidades, e incluso en el comportamiento de nuestros líderes. Pero, si Dios está con nosotros, ¿quién puede estar contra nosotros? Jesús nos ha marcado el camino que debemos seguir si queremos estar con Dios nuestro Padre. Mi libro está escrito en armonía con las enseñanzas de la fe católica y el mensaje va directo al corazón de la persona humana. El contenido del libro nos invita a mantener la fe con el fin de comprender mejor nuestro papel en un mundo lleno de violencia y de secularismo. Hemos llegado a ser violentos no sólo con los demás, sino también con nosotros mismos, al elegir creencias y actitudes que no nos ayudan a convertirnos en personas obedientes, humildes y felices. Muchos hombres y mujeres entran en la Iglesia, pero tienen una interpretación errónea de la fe y de la jerarquía. Ellos no están de acuerdo ni contentos con una cosa ni otra. Piensan que pueden escoger y elegir lo que quieran y como quieran. Sin embargo, es importante entender que la Iglesia no es, y nunca ha sido, una democracia. La Iglesia es jerárquica y encuentra su fundamento en la autoridad que el Señor Jesús recibió del Padre. Con esa autoridad, Él dijo a Pedro: " Tú eres Pedro, y sobre esta piedra edificaré mi Iglesia, y el poder del infierno no la derrotará".
