Book Synopsis The Cambridge Handbook of Sociocultural Psychology by : Alberto Rosa
Download or read book The Cambridge Handbook of Sociocultural Psychology written by Alberto Rosa and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-12 with total page 692 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sociocultural psychology is a discipline located at the crossroads between the natural and social sciences and the humanities. This international overview of the field provides an antireductionist and comprehensive account of how experience and behaviour arise from human action with cultural materials in social practices. The outcome is a vision of the dynamics of sociocultural and personal life in which time and developmental constructive transformations are crucial. This second edition provides expanded coverage of how particular cultural artefacts and social practices shape experience and behaviour in the realms of art and aesthetics, economics, history, religion and politics. Special attention is also paid to the development of identity, the self and personhood throughout the lifespan, while retaining the emphasis on experience and development as key features of sociocultural psychology.
Book Synopsis The Dialectics of Exile by : Sophia A. McClennen
Download or read book The Dialectics of Exile written by Sophia A. McClennen and published by Purdue University Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of exile literature is as old as the history of writing itself. Despite this vast and varied literary tradition, criticism of exile writing has tended to analyze these works according to a binary logic, where exile either produces creative freedom or it traps the writer in restrictive nostalgia. The Dialectics of Exile: Nation, Time, Language and Space in Hispanic Literatures offers a theory of exile writing that accounts for the persistence of these dual impulses and for the ways that they often co-exist within the same literary works. Focusing on writers working in the latter part of the twentieth century who were exiled during a historical moment of increasing globalization, transnational economics, and the theoretical shifts of postmodernism, Sophia A. McClennen proposes that exile literature is best understood as a series of dialectic tensions about cultural identity. Through comparative analysis of Juan Goytisolo (Spain), Ariel Dorfman (Chile) and Cristina Peri Rossi (Uruguay), this book explores how these writers represent exile identity. Each chapter addresses dilemmas central to debates over cultural identity such as nationalism versus globalization, time as historical or cyclical, language as representationally accurate or disconnected from reality, and social space as utopic or dystopic. McClennen demonstrates how the complex writing of these three authors functions as an alternative discourse of cultural identity that not only challenges official versions imposed by authoritarian regimes, but also tests the limits of much cultural criticism.

Book Synopsis Juan Goytisolo and the Poetics of Contagion by : Stanley Black
Download or read book Juan Goytisolo and the Poetics of Contagion written by Stanley Black and published by Liverpool University Press. This book was released on 2001-01-01 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Juan Goytisolo is arguably Spain’s foremost contemporary novelist. This book is one of the few major studies in English to examine all of his mature works, from Señas de identidad in 1966 to Las semanas del jardín, published in 1997. It focuses on the interface between the thematic content of the novels and its formal expression, viewing this as the crucial nexus of their meaning. Goytisolo’s writing is, in his own words, a "commitment of myself ... for a transformation of the world". The Poetics of Contagion dissects the nature of the relationship between writer and reader to show how Goytisolo’s political commitment is reflected in his work.

Book excerpt: Henri Lefebvre and the Spanish Urban Experience is the first book to thoroughly apply the French urban philosopher's thought on cities to the culture and literature of Spain. Fraser shows how Lefebvre's complex view of city as a mobile phenomenon is relevant to understanding a variety of Spanish cultural products—from urban plans and short writing on the urban expereince during the nineteenth century to urban theories, cultural practices and literary fiction of the twentieth century, pushing on to interrogate even te apperance of Mediterranean space and Barcelona in recent videogames.

Book Synopsis Politics and the English Language by : George Orwell
Download or read book Politics and the English Language written by George Orwell and published by Renard Press Ltd. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George Orwell set out ‘to make political writing into an art’, and to a wide extent this aim shaped the future of English literature – his descriptions of authoritarian regimes helped to form a new vocabulary that is fundamental to understanding totalitarianism. While 1984 and Animal Farm are amongst the most popular classic novels in the English language, this new series of Orwell’s essays seeks to bring a wider selection of his writing on politics and literature to a new readership. In Politics and the English Language, the second in the Orwell’s Essays series, Orwell takes aim at the language used in politics, which, he says, ‘is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind’. In an age where the language used in politics is constantly under the microscope, Orwell’s Politics and the English Language is just as relevant today, and gives the reader a vital understanding of the tactics at play. 'A writer who can – and must – be rediscovered with every age.' — Irish Times
Book Synopsis Lenguaje sin palabras / Non-Verbal Language by : Barbara Tijerina
Download or read book Lenguaje sin palabras / Non-Verbal Language written by Barbara Tijerina and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2021-05-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El lenguaje no verbal es determinante para el éxito o el fracaso en tu vida, en tu trabajo y en tus relaciones. Comunicar no sólo es dar información, sino también transmitir, conmover, persuadir, emocionar y hacer sentir a través de los gestos, la postura y a la voz. Tu comunicación no verbal representa el 93% del impacto que causarás en los otros. Cuántas veces te ha pasado que alguna persona te dice "si", pero sospechas que realmente dijo "no"? el lenguaje sin palabras es el único canal de comunicación en el que es imposible mentir, en el que la gente expresa su yo verdadero, incluso sin darse cuenta; es una herramienta social que ayuda a entender al otro y a conectar mejor con los demás. Este libro te enseñará a leer las emociones y a interpretar el lenguaje no verbal de todos los que te rodean para que descifres qué es lo que están transmitiendo de manera inconsciente y cómo se sienten en determinadas situaciones: * Detectarás seguridad o inseguridad en las personas. * Diferenciarás si muestran arrogancia o frustración o si están a la defensiva. * Sabrás si alguien está nervioso, ansioso o preocupado * Reconocerás si la persona está interesada o muestra indiferencia. Estas herramientas te permitirán tener congruencia entre lo que dices, lo que haces y lo que eres, y te ayudarán a mejorar la comunicación con los que te rodean y a elegir la manera ideal para transmitir tu mensaje. Si sabes reconocer, identificar y mover las emociones de alguien más, será muy fácil venderle, persuadirlo y hasta hacerlo votar por ti. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Non-verbal language is decisive to succeed or fail in life, at work, and in relationships. Communication is not only about providing information—it is about conveying, affecting, persuading, thrilling, making others fee lcertain things through your gestures, your posture, your voice. The impact you have on others is 93 per cent non-verbal communication. How many times have you heard someone say “yes”, but actually suspect they said “no”? This wordless language is the only means of communication in which people cannot lie, where they express their true self, even unaware. It is a social tool that will help you understand others and better connect with them. This book will teach you to read emotion and interpret non-verbal language in everyone around you, so you may decipher what it is they are conveying unconsciously, as well as how they feel in certain situations. You will: •Notice if people are confident or not. •Determine if what they are expressing is arrogance or frustration, or if they are being defensive. •Know if someone is nervous, or anxious, or worried. •Realize if that person is interested or displaying indifference. These tools will enable you to be consistent between what you say, what you do, and who you are. They will help you improve your communication with those around you and choose the ideal way to deliver your message. If you know how to acknowledge, pinpoint, and stir someone else’s emotions, it will be very easy to sell them something, to persuade them, and even makethem vote for you.
Book Synopsis Gesture in Language by : Aliyah Morgenstern
Download or read book Gesture in Language written by Aliyah Morgenstern and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-12-06 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through constant exposure to adult input in interaction, children’s language gradually develops into rich linguistic constructions containing multiple cross-modal elements subtly used together for communicative functions. Sensorimotor schemas provide the "grounding" of language in experience and lead to children’s access to the symbolic function. With the emergence of vocal or signed productions, gestures do not disappear but remain functional and diversify in form and function as children become skilled adult multimodal conversationalists. This volume examines the role of gesture over the human lifespan in its complex interaction with speech and sign. Gesture is explored in the different stages before, during, and after language has fully developed and a special focus is placed on the role of gesture in language learning and cognitive development. Specific chapters are devoted to the use of gesture in atypical populations.

Book Synopsis Beyond the Metafictional Mode by : Robert C. Spires
Download or read book Beyond the Metafictional Mode written by Robert C. Spires and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-11-21 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term metafiction invaded the vocabulary of literary criticism around 1970, yet the textual strategies involved in turning fiction back onto itself can be traced through several centuries. In this theoretical/critical study Robert C. Spires examines the nature of metafiction and chronicles its evolution in Spain from the time of Cervantes to the 1970s, when the obsession with novelistic self-commentary culminated in an important literary movement. The critical portions of this study focus primarily on twentieth-century works. Included are analyses of Unamuno's Niebla, Jarnés's Locura y muerte de nadie and La novia del viento, Torrente Ballester's Don Juan, Cunquiero's Un hombre que se parecía a Orestes, and three novels from the "self-referential" movement of the 1970s, Juan Goytisolo's Juan sin Tierra, Luis Goytisolo's La colera de Aquiles, and Martín Gaite's El cuarto de atrás. Seeking a stronger theoretical basis for his critical readings, Spires offers a sharpened definition of the term metafiction. The mode arises, he declares, through an intentional violation of the boundaries that normally separate the worlds of the author, the fiction, and the reader. Building on theoretical foundations laid by Frye, Scholes, Genette, and others, Spires also proposes a literary paradigm that places metafiction in a position intermediate between fiction and literary theory. These theoretical formulations place Spires's book in the forefront of critical thought. At the same time, his full-scale analyses of Spanish metafictional works will be welcomed by Hispanists and other students of world literature.

Download or read book Lozano written by Eduardo Lozano and published by Imagenes Vazquez. This book was released on 2006 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critic study on the life and artwork of poet and painter Lozano (b. Argentina), who in the early 1950's produced an extensive collection of paintings in addition to his work as a poet. His second poetry book "De Nacer o Morir" placed him as a well-known figure of contemporary literature in Argentina. In his facet as a painter Lozano's pictorial work has been dominantly pictographic, with planimetric scenes that recall Pre-Hispanic civilizations, particularly inspired in the Maya and Aztec codices. His paintings, drawings, prints and clays sculptures sometimes categorized as primitive art are better defined in a style that moves between figuration and abstraction due to the complexity of his strokes.
Book Synopsis A New History of Spanish Writing, 1939 to the 1990s by : Chris Perriam
Download or read book A New History of Spanish Writing, 1939 to the 1990s written by Chris Perriam and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2000 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New History of Spanish Writing, 1939 to the 1990s explores the diversity of some sixty years of imaginative writing by Spaniards, its interactions with Spain's peculiarly dramatic history since the end of its Civil War, and its wider thematic significance. It covers the famous and canonical texts of the most recent in Modern Spanish literature but also explores areas less well-known outside Spain (essays and editorials, queer narrative, new poetry, comics, and texts of the militant and reactionary Right). More space than is usual in literary histories is allowed for commentary on famous texts, but the book also makes room for the marginalized and for socially contextualized explorations of the interconnectedness of various forms of writing. The overall structure is not chronological but thematic, dealing with abstract and topical issues such as silence, the family, or realism.
