Book Synopsis Cuban Fiestas by : Roberto González Echevarría
Download or read book Cuban Fiestas written by Roberto González Echevarría and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 515 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A luminous history of Cuba’s most dynamic and defining rituals and the ever-improvisational character of Cuban culture In the Cuban town of Sagua la Grande, a young Roberto González Echevarría peers out the window of his family home on the morning of the Nochebuena fiesta as preparations begin for the slaughter of a feast day pig. The author recalls “watching them at a distance, though thinking, fearing, that once I grew older I would have to participate in the whole event.” Now an acclaimed scholar of Latin American literature, González Echevarría returns to the rituals that defined his young life in Cuban Fiestas. Drawing from art, literature, film, and even the national sport of baseball, he vividly reveals the fiesta as a dynamic force of both destruction and renewal in the life of a people. Roberto González Echevarría masterfully exposes the distinctive elements of the fiesta cubana that give depth and coherence to more than two centuries of Cuban cultural life. Reaching back to nineteenth-century traditions of Cuban art and literature, and augmenting them, in the twentieth, with the arts of narrative, the esthetic performances of sport and entertainment in nightclubs, on the baseball diamond, and in movie theaters, Cuban Fiestas renders the lilting strains of the fiesta and drum beats of the passage of time as keys to understanding the dynamic quality of Cuban culture. González Echevarría’s explorations are also illuminated by autobiographical vignettes that unveil the ever-shifting impact of the fiesta on the author’s own story of exile and return.

Book Synopsis Religion and Healing in America by : Linda L. Barnes
Download or read book Religion and Healing in America written by Linda L. Barnes and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2005 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Americans have long been aware of the phenomenon loosely known as faith healing. Such practices most often received attention when they came into conflict with biomedical practice. During the 1990s, however, the American cultural landscape changed dramatically and religious healing became acommonplace feature of our society. The essays in this book chart this new reality. Insofar as healing traditions constitute the meeting ground or point of conflict between different groups, argue the authors, they provide a powerful lens through which to examine cultural changes at work. Each ofthe papers offers a particular case study. Many emphasize gender, race, ethnicity, and class as key components of healing experiences.

Book Synopsis Fiesta y ritual en la tradición popular latinoamericana by : Yvette Jiménez de Báez
Download or read book Fiesta y ritual en la tradición popular latinoamericana written by Yvette Jiménez de Báez and published by El Colegio de Mexico AC. This book was released on 2015 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Esta obra contribuye a establecer un diálogo fértil con los lectores a partir del recorrido por la función vivificadora de la fiesta y el ritual en algunos de los países que conforman esta región. Un recorrido que pasa tanto por las fiestas indígenas de la tradición mexicana como por las de origen novohispano, las mismas que fueron convocadas a la aparición de una nueva cultura, en donde se privilegiaron los lenguajes que nos relacionan desde el comienzo. Las transformaciones que se han producido condicionan nuestra historia porque reivindican el origen y se dinamizan hacia el futuro. En este sentido, la obra reflexiona sobre el uso de algunos conceptos y la creación de otros, pero siempre por medio de precisiones y generalizaciones que partan de lo que las comunidades van creando.
