Download or read book Utopia Undone written by Kenton V. Stone and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "With this ground-breaking book, Kenton V. Stone presents to North American readers one of the most intriguing writers to emerge out of Latin America in recent years, Uruguay's Carlos Martinez Moreno. Martinez Moreno started writing in the 1960s and achieved international reknown in 1981 when he was awarded Mexico's international fiction prize (by a panel including Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Julio Cortazar, and Ariel Dorfman) for his novel El color que el infierno me escondiera - a novel which, as the title suggests, takes the classic work of Dante Allighieri as its model. Stone's study of Martinez Moreno's novels has a dual purpose. The first purpose is to show that Martinez Moreno is a writer of the "Boom" in the Latin-American novel of the 1960s who deserves a revival in critical attention. The second purpose is to propose that new readings of his work extend beyond political protest to a study of Dantesque moral analysis - especially evident in El Infierno." "Once a utopian welfare state known to all as the "Switzerland of the Americas" for its democracy, pacifism, and prosperity, Uruguay succumbed to military rule in 1973. Martinez Moreno - along with compatriots Mario Benedetti, Eduardo Galeano, and Juan Carlos Onetti (among others) - had long predicted the demise of Uruguay's utopia in his novels. From 1973 until his death in exile, he took up the role of resisting - as novelist and attorney - what became the most ruthless regime of the "dirty wars" of Latin America in the 1970s, a regime that forced one-fifth of its citizens into prison or exile." "In Utopia Undone, Stone offers the reader an incisive analysis of Martinez Moreno's award-winning book and the novels that led up to its writing. He analyzes Martinez Moreno's works as they range from the Cuban revolution in El paredon (1963) to Bolivia's cocaine trade and Che Guevara in Coca (1968). Stone painstakingly points out the parallels between Martinez Moreno's craft and the deterioration of Uruguayan society, a process chronicled in his novels as la deca, "the decay." The reader is introduced to the Uruguayan author's life and times and how they were inevitably set on a collision course with what Roa Bastos calls Martinez Moreno's "revolutionary dream." Finally, Stone examines the end of Martinez Moreno's career - in exile in Mexico, bearing witness to Uruguay's largely overlooked diaspora with El Infierno, a monumental classic of the "literature of the disappeared" with a Dantesque devotion to truth and moral vision." "Utopia Undone was born in an interview Kenton V. Stone conducted with Martinez Moreno only months prior to the novelist's death in 1986 - the year Uruguay's democracy was restored."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Synopsis States of Grace by : Patrícia I. Vieira
Download or read book States of Grace written by Patrícia I. Vieira and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2018-04-01 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides in-depth analyses of key moments in Brazilian utopianism, including theological-political, matriarchal, environmental, and work-free utopias. States of Grace offers a novel approach to the study of Brazilian culture through the lens of utopianism. Patrícia I. Vieira explores religious and political writings, journalistic texts, sociological studies, and literary works that portray Brazil as a utopian land of the future, where dreams of a coming messianic age and of social and political emancipation would come true. The book discusses crucial utopian moments such as the theological-political utopia proposed by Jesuit Priest Antônio Vieira; matriarchal utopias, like the egalitarian society of the Amazons; work-free utopias that abolished the boundaries separating toil and play; and ecological utopias, where humans and nonhumans coexist harmoniously. The uniqueness of the books approach lies in rethinking the link between messianic and utopian texts, as well as the alliances forged between progressive religious, socioeconomic, political, and ecological ideas.
Book Synopsis Mapping Spaces of Translation in Twentieth-Century Latin American Print Culture by : María Constanza Guzmán
Download or read book Mapping Spaces of Translation in Twentieth-Century Latin American Print Culture written by María Constanza Guzmán and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reflects on translation praxis in 20th century Latin American print culture, tracing the trajectory of linguistic heterogeneity in the region and illuminating collective efforts to counteract the use of translation as a colonial tool and affirm cultural production in Latin America. In investigating the interplay of translation and the Americas as a geopolitical site, Guzmán Martínez unpacks the complex tensions that arise in these “spaces of translation” as embodied in the output of influential publishing houses and periodicals during this time period, looking at translation as both a concept and a set of narrative practices. An exploration of these spaces not only allows for an in-depth analysis of the role of translation in these institutions themselves but also provides a lens through which to uncover linguistic plurality and hybridity past borders of seemingly monolingual ideologies. A concluding chapter looks ahead to the ways in which strategic and critical uses of translation can continue to build on these efforts and contribute toward decolonial narrative practices in translation and enhance cultural production in the Americas in the future. This book will be of particular interest to scholars in translation studies, Latin American studies, and comparative literature.

Book excerpt: ¿En qué se parecen caminar, tejer, observar, narrar, cantar, dibujar y escribir? La repuesta es que, de uno u otro modo, todo lo anterior se lleva a cabo a través de líneas. Visto así, la Historia entera es una línea, compuesta por pequeñas líneas. En este libro Tim Ingold imagina un mundo en el que todos y todo se compone de líneas entrelazadas o in-terconectadas y sienta las bases de una nueva disciplina: la ar-queología antropológica de la línea. El argumento de Ingold nos lleva a través de la música de la antigua Grecia y del Japón contemporáneo, por laberintos de Siberia y vías ro-manas, por la caligrafía china y el alfabeto impreso, tejiendo un camino entre la antigüedad y el presente. Ingold revela cómo nuestra percepción de las líneas ha cambiado en el tiempo, con la modernidad antes de convertirse en recta, la línea es un conjunto de puntos, pero el mundo posmoderno la rompe y fragmenta para estudiarla mejor. Tim Ingold utiliza para su estudio muchas disciplinas, como la Arqueolo-gía, Estudios Clásicos, Historia del Arte, la Lingüística, la Psicología, la Musicología, la Filosofía y muchos otros. Este libro nos lleva por un viaje intelectual estimulante que va a cambiar la manera en que vemos el mundo y la forma en que vamos por el mismo.

Book Synopsis Omar Cabezas, Nicaragua, and the Narrative of Liberation by : José María Mantero
Download or read book Omar Cabezas, Nicaragua, and the Narrative of Liberation written by José María Mantero and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2019-06-26 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout his political and military career, Omar Cabezas fought to transform Nicaragua, to implement the ethics that had led him to participate in the armed struggle against Anastasio Somoza’s regime, and to be active during the 1980s and 1990s as a member of the National Congress. Omar Cabezas, Nicaragua, and the Narrative of Liberation: To the Revolution and Beyond surveys the foundations of liberation discourse as it relates to the work of Omar Cabezas. It examines themes associated with Nicaraguan and Latin American culture and literature, considering key issues of national liberation and identity in the wake of the Sandinista revolution. By contextualizing the research within a continental and national perspective and using concepts such as utopia, orality, and humor to frame the discussion on national liberation , Mantero shows the symbiotic relationship between the work of Cabezas and the reformulation of Nicaraguan identity in the post-revolution.

Book Synopsis Poetics of Indigenismo in Zapatista Discourse by : Gregory Stephens
Download or read book Poetics of Indigenismo in Zapatista Discourse written by Gregory Stephens and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2019-04-01 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contributes to a re-visioning of the literature of revolutions, repositioning the writings of Subcomandante Marcos as quasi-“indigenous” literary texts. Highlights include a study of the role of Zapatista mythopoetics in re-imagining the nature of revolution; and an examination of how a native subculture and cosmovision were made intelligible to an international audience. Close readings of a group of stories, essays and communiques by Marcos explore the emergence of a thoroughly hybrid literary style. These texts are analyzed in relation to existing genres such Native American literature, environmental literature, and the literature of the Mexican revolution. The book shows that, while Marcos employs the iconography of Che Guevara, Zapata, et al, and in some ways furthers the “romance of revolution” for an electronically networked world, he has also popularized on an international stage the post-Cold War aspiration to “change the world without taking power.”
Book Synopsis Indigeneity and the Decolonizing Gaze by : Robert Stam
Download or read book Indigeneity and the Decolonizing Gaze written by Robert Stam and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-01-26 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Against the long historical backdrop of 1492, Columbus, and the Conquest, Robert Stam's wide-ranging study traces a trajectory from the representation of indigenous peoples by others to self-representation by indigenous peoples, often as a form of resistance and rebellion to colonialist or neoliberal capitalism, across an eclectic range of forms of media, arts, and social philosophy. Spanning national and transnational media in countries including the US, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, and Italy, Stam orchestrates a dialogue between the western mediated gaze on the 'Indian' and the indigenous gaze itself, especially as incarnated in the burgeoning movement of “indigenous media,” that is, the use of audio-visual-digital media for the social and cultural purposes of indigenous peoples themselves. Drawing on examples from cinema, literature, music, video, painting and stand-up comedy, Stam shows how indigenous artists, intellectuals and activists are responding to the multiple crises - climatological, economic, political, racial, and cultural - confronting the world. Significant attention is paid to the role of arts-based activism in supporting the struggle of indigenous artistic activism, of the Yanomami people specifically, to save the Amazon forest and the planet.

Download or read book Chicanx Utopias written by Luis Alvarez and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2022-02-22 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2023 Honorable Mention Best History Book, International Latino Book Awards Broad and encompassing examination of Chicanx popular culture since World War II and the utopian visions it articulated Amid the rise of neoliberalism, globalization, and movements for civil rights and global justice in the post–World War II era, Chicanxs in film, music, television, and art weaponized culture to combat often oppressive economic and political conditions. They envisioned utopias that, even if never fully realized, reimagined the world and linked seemingly disparate people and places. In the latter half of the twentieth century, Chicanx popular culture forged a politics of the possible and gave rise to utopian dreams that sprang from everyday experiences. In Chicanx Utopias, Luis Alvarez offers a broad study of these utopian visions from the 1950s to the 2000s. Probing the film Salt of the Earth, brown-eyed soul music, sitcoms, poster art, and borderlands reggae music, he examines how Chicanx pop culture, capable of both liberation and exploitation, fostered interracial and transnational identities, engaged social movements, and produced varied utopian visions with divergent possibilities and limits. Grounded in the theoretical frameworks of Walter Benjamin, Stuart Hall, and the Zapatista movement, this book reveals how Chicanxs articulated pop cultural utopias to make sense of, challenge, and improve the worlds they inhabited.
