Transvestism, Masculinity, and Latin American Literature
Author: B. Sifuentes-Jáuregui
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 0230107281
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
This book is about transvestism and the performance of gender in Latin American literature and culture. Ben. Sifuentes-Jáuregui explores the figure of the transvestite and his/her relation to the body through a series of canonical Latin American texts. By analyzing works by Alejo Carpentier, José Donoso, Severo Sarduy and Manuel Puig (author of Kiss of the Spiderwoma n), alongside critical works in gender studies and queer theory, Sifuentes-Jáuregui shows how transvestism operates not only to destabilize, but often to affirm sexual, gender, national and political identities.

Emily Dickinson
Author: Rolando Costa Picazo
Publisher: Universitat de València
ISBN: 8437083443
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : es
Pages : 251
Book Description
Emily Dickinson es la primera gran poeta estadounidense. Desconocida como escritora en vida, sus poemas son de una originalidad desusada, de gran economía y control, de una sintaxis y puntuación únicas, a la par que de gran inspiración y profundidad, sobre temas como la identidad, la inmortalidad, la vida, la muerte, el amor o la pasión. Traducir a Dickinson es aceptar un reto arriesgado que sólo los traductores más sagaces son capaces de llevar a término con dignidad. Este volumen presenta la selección, traducción y anotación de sus casi cien poemas más representativos, a cargo del profesor Rolando Costa Picazo. En esta obra leemos a Dickinson a través de la sabiduría lingüística y sensibilidad literaria de Costa Picazo, un traductor que hace justicia a la estatura poética de la reclusa de Amherst y la acerca a los lectores en español del tercer milenio.

The Man Who Walked Between the Towers
Author: Mordicai Gerstein
Publisher: Square Fish
ISBN: 1429939958
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 44
Book Description
The story of a daring tightrope walk between skyscrapers, as seen in Robert Zemeckis's The Walk, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt. In 1974, French aerialist Philippe Petit threw a tightrope between the two towers of the World Trade Center and spent an hour walking, dancing, and performing high-wire tricks a quarter mile in the sky. This picture book captures the poetry and magic of the event with a poetry of its own: lyrical words and lovely paintings that present the detail, daring, and--in two dramatic foldout spreads-- the vertiginous drama of Petit's feat. The Man Who Walked Between the Towers is the winner of the 2004 Caldecott Medal, the winner of the 2004 Boston Globe - Horn Book Award for Picture Books, and the winner of the 2006 Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Children's Video.

Save Twilight
Author: Julio Cortazar
Publisher: City Lights Books
ISBN: 9780872863330
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
The power of Eros, the enduring beauty of art, a love-hate nostalgia for his Argentine homeland, the bonds of friendship and the tragic folly of politics are some of the themes of Save Twilight. Informed by his immersion in world literature, music, art, and history, and most of his own emotional geography, Cortazar's poetry traces his paradoxical evolution from provincial Argentinean sophisticate to cosmopolitan Parisian Romantic, always maintaining the sense of astonishment of an artist surprised by life.
