The Latin Hit Maker

Autor: Rudy Pérez , Robert Noland

Número de Páginas: 230

For the first time, music legend Rudy Pérez shares his remarkable journey from a poor refugee kid in Miami to composing the greatest hit songs on the world stage. Named the most successful Latin songwriter in history, Rudy Pérez is the creator behind some of the bestselling records of Beyoncé, Julio Iglesias, Christina Aguilera, and IL Divo. In his one-of-a-kind memoir, Rudy tells about his childhood in Cuba and the heart-gripping visits to his father in prison during the height of the communist revolution. Tracing his family's perilous escape on one of the last Freedom Flights to America, Rudy opens up about the years of poverty and growing up in a crime-ridden neighborhood. These memories contrast with tender moments of dancing to the stereo with his siblings, nodding along to his mother's classical favorites, and swaying to blues melodies with his father. At a young age, Rudy tried his hand at recreating the music he loved, and his talent led him to an unprecedented career with over 300 hit songs. With years of hard work, ceaseless creativity, and a strong faith, Rudy was the first Latin music artist to win Billboard Producer of the Decade. Looking back over his five-time...

A Grammar of the Corpse

Autor: Elizabeth Spragins

Número de Páginas: 142

No matter when or where one starts telling the story of the battle of al-Qasr al-Kabir (August 4, 1578), the precipitating event for the formation of the Iberian Union, one always stumbles across dead bodies—rotting in the sun on abandoned battlefields, publicly displayed in marketplaces, exhumed and transported for political uses. A Grammar of the Corpse: Necroepistemology in the Early Modern Mediterranean proposes an approach to understanding how dead bodies anchored the construction of knowledge within early modern Mediterranean historiography. A Grammar of the Corpse argues that the presence of the corpse in historical narrative is not incidental. It fills a central gap in testimonial narrative: providing tangible evidence of the narrator’s reliability while provoking an affective response in the audience. The use of corpses as a source of narrative authority mobilizes what cultural historians, philosophers, and social anthropologists have pointed to as the latent power of the dead for generating social and political meaning and knowledge. A Grammar of the Corpse analyzes the literary, semiotic, and epistemological function these bodies serve within text and through...

Literary Passion, Ideological Commitment

Autor: Dawn Duke

Número de Páginas: 284

This study examines Afro-Cuban and Afro-Brazilian women writers, as well as analysing the roles of women of African descent in Cuban and Brazilian literature. Initially, literary imagination locked women into circumscribed roles, a result of hierarchies embedded in slavery and colonialism, and sustained by hierarchical theories on race and gender.The discussion illustrates how these negative aspects have influenced the mainstream literary imagination that contrasts with the 'self-portrayals' created by women writers themselves. Even as there continues to be disadvantageous constructions, there is no doubt that a modification has occurred over time in images, representation, and articulation. It is a change directly associated with the instances when women themselves are the writers.The historiographic image of the Afro-Cuban and Afro-Brazilian woman as a written object is ideologically replaced by a vision of her as a writing subject. It is here that the vision of a creative, multifaceted, and diversified literature becomes important.

The Adulteress on the Spanish Stage

Autor: Tracie Amend

Número de Páginas: 229

As early as 1760 and as late as 1920, Romantic drama dominated Peninsular Spanish theater. This love affair with Romanticism influenced the formation of Spain's modern national identity, which depended heavily on defining women's place in 19th century society. Women who defied traditional gender roles became a source of anxiety in society and on stage. The adulteress embodied the fear of rebellious women, the growing pains of modernity and the political instability of war and invasion. This book examines the conflicted portrayal of women and the Spanish national identity. Studying the adulteress on stage, the author provides insight into the uneasy tension between progress and tradition in 19th century Spain.

De La Celestina a la Farsa de la Costanza

Autor: Aurelia Rio

Número de Páginas: 226

En este libro se estudia La Tragicomedia de Calisto y Melibea, única obra conocida de Fernando de Rojas, y la recién descubierta Farsa de la Costanza de Cristóbal de Castillejo, a la luz del concepto de la auto-modelación. En este sentido, se conecta este principio clave del Nuevo Historicismo con los estudios de la performance y el realismo grotesco. Temas como los efectos del establecimiento de la Inquisición en la vida de los conversos; el papel que juega la posible ascendencia judía de Rojas en su auto-configuración social y en su obra; el impacto de la vida áulica y la condición de monje en la obra de Castillejo, específicamente en la Farsa; las concomitancias entre La Celestina y la Farsa de la Costanza, entre otros, constituyen elementos fundamentales, que permiten examinar los diversos aspectos sociales e históricos de dichas obras a través del prisma de la auto-modelación, la performance y el realismo grotesco.

The Changing Face of Motherhood in Spain

Autor: Catherine Bourland Ross

Número de Páginas: 169

This book investigates the perceptions of motherhood in Spanish author Lucía Etxebarria’s fiction and offers views of the importance of motherhood in society. Traditional expectations for women as mothers persist despite the fact that they no longer match Spain’s cultural and economic reality. These issues of gender equality and societal perceptions stand out in the novels and screenplays of Etxebarria. Her work at times resists and at times affirms patriarchal constructs associated with traditional Spanish motherhood, and ultimately, I argue, enacts the very complexity of contemporary Spanish motherhood ideals. By showing the tension between the past constructs of the mother and the possible future outcomes of gender equality, Etxebarria’s works navigate the complexity between past and future, illuminating the current and future uncertainties and the ambivalent nature of change. Each chapter views motherhood from a different perspective and focuses on particular works of Etxebarria. Through the depiction of a variety of mother characters, these different perspectives, as showcased in Etxebarria’s narratives, together compose an understanding of Spanish maternal identity.

The Last Days of Humanism: A Reappraisal of Quevedo's Thought

Autor: Alfonso Rey

Número de Páginas: 226

Francisco de Quevedo (Madrid, 1580-1645) was well known for his rich and dynamic style, achieved through an ingenious and complex manipulation of language. Yet he was also a consistent and systematic thinker, with moral philosophy, broadly understood, lying at the core of his numerous and varied works. Quevedo lived in an age of transition, with the Humanist tradition on the wane, and his writing expresses the characteristic uncertainty of a moment of cultural transition. In this book Alfonso Rey surveys Quevedo's ideas in such diverse fields as ethics, politics, religion and literature, ideas which hitherto have received little attention. New information is also provided towards a reconstruction of the cultural evolution of Europe in the years prior to the Enlightenment, and thus the scope of the book extends beyond that of Spanish literature.

Etnógrafos coloniales

Autor: David Mauricio Adriano Solodkow

Número de Páginas: 508

Etnógrafos coloniales reflexiona sobre los dispositivos de saber y las relaciones de dominación simbólica y material que se ejercieron mediante el discurso etnográfico sobre diversas etnias indígenas de la América colonial en el Caribe y en Nueva España principalmente, aunque no se limita a estos espacios geográficos. También analiza cómo y por qué se diseminan en este discurso una serie de enunciados que colaboran en la construcción de la diferencia cultural, la negación-creación de la alteridad, la producción del saber sobre el indígena y la configuración de nuevas identidades sociales y étnicas. Asimismo, el volumen explora las relaciones de instrumentalidad política (soberanía), jurídica (encomienda) y religiosa (conversión) que el discurso etnográfico del imperio español mantuvo con respecto a la justificación de la ocupación colonial y con la llamada misión civilizadora de Europa sobre la América conquistada. Se propone así un análisis de tipo interdisciplinario que estudia géneros variados (crónicas, tratados religiosos, cédulas, leyes) utilizando las herramientas metodológicas y teóricas de la crítica literaria y cultural, los estudios...
